This is how cold it was this morning

Cables damaged again in Hilton Road

Update: Desmond of Elphick helped me fix the box without Eskom's intervention. Of all the people I have dealt with in this horrible process of construction going on next door, Desmond is without any question the most helpful, obliging, polite and honest.

Again, a big chunk of our area is without power. The permanently unsecured box has been tampered with, and we must now restart the process of getting Eskom to fix it again.

Pictures to follow.

Good neighbours

To have a good neighbour, first be a good neighbour.

I am delighted we could help LEAP, who have been the most delightful neighbours.

We love all they do, and I am working behind the scenes to support them.

We donated some furniture our company no longer needed. Jeanette Long writes:


Dear Frank and Karen
Thank you both very much for the office furniture.  We have made very good use immediately of most of it.  We have used all the desks,chairs, cupboards and the carpet protectors and stored only the white boards for use at a later date.

It has also been good timing for me for it has enabled me to create an office for myself in a back building to separate myself form the daily running of the school. This has been a good move for it has highlighted to all the change in my role from direct involvement in this school to coordination of the schools in the region.

The Xhosa motto at the bottom of our school brochure is 'Intaka yakha ngeentsiba zenye intaka', a bird builds its nest with another bird's feathers. and it is the generosity of you and people like you which enables us to do this.

Regards
Jeanette

As sent to me by a neighbour

* 10% of us carry the rest of the population

* The other 90% increasingly demand more

The Times in the UK has picked up on it (not corroborated):

South Africa is the only country in the world where affirmative action is in the favour of the majority who has complete political control. The fact that the political majority requires affirmative action to protect them against a 9% minority group is testament to a complete failure on their part to build their own wealth making structures, such that their only solution is to take it from others

Update: The view from our bedroom window in Linbro Park

Update: This is the single most debilitating experience of our lives. Our house is shaking to its very foundations. The beeping of the graders, the ongoing thrumming, the terrible sight of all this yellow metal parading past our kitchen and bedroom. Well, my wife Karen was in tears. We are literally being shaken to our core. Pics to follow.

Update: My entire family woke up to the terrible sound of diesel engines and beeping reversing trucks at 6.30 this morning. This will be the case for the next nine months. These folk have a job to do, but it is a crappy way to live.

Update: Steff asks what we are referring to. Our wall is 2m high. That is a digger excavating. It runs from 6am to 6pm. It is accompanied by dozens of other yellow metal trucks and tippers.

I broadcast at night, try and get some sleep, and this starts 6am. What a racket, for more than 12 hours a day.

As I say, it is all legal, but horrid.

More pics to come.

Steff was wise in leaving Linbro Park.

This is all legal, no argument, no issues, but what a crappy way to live. And the noise!

Hijack

I have been advised there was a hijack yesterday. It occurred at 12 noon, at the four-way stop in 1st Rd, Linbro Park. Four armed men in a car similar to this committed the act. More details to follow.

Total lunar eclipse coming

http://www.news24.com/SciTech/News/Total-lunar-eclipse-for-SA-20110525

Total lunar eclipse for SA

Cape Town - The South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) has announced that a rare eclipse will be visible in SA during June.

"A total lunar eclipse will be visible from South Africa on the 15th of June 2011. The last total lunar eclipse visible from this region was in February 2008 and the next one will only be in September 2015," the SAAO told News24 in a statement.

Weather update: another cold front arrives tonight

Update: My good friend and business and tennis partner Duncan McLeod keeps me informed re the weather. He is a simply brilliant amateur meteorologist who understands every bit of the weather systems. He also has a terrific sense of humour. Like Simon Gear, he sometimes gets it wrong, but when I communicate news, it comes from him, by and large.

Update: My Weather Bureau contacts advise it could drop to -3 tonight. Feels like it already.

The mercury will drop to around zero tonight, and stay down for much of the rest of the week.

The wind that is pumping is a pre-frontal system.

Dress warmly. Brrr!

http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Cold-weather-predicted-for-SA-20110524

On Thursday it would become even colder and minimum temperatures in parts of Johannesburg could fall to zero.  

The cold weather was expected to clear up only on Saturday.

Load shedding update

http://www.citypower.co.za/Copy%20of%20citypower_load_shedding.html

Linbro     Block 1     Eskom Supply Area     Monday, Wednesday & Friday     06.00-10.00

Load shedding is back ...

Sorry, folks, but that terrible time has returned. We may be paying an arm and a leg (and our soul) for electricity, but reality is reality.

Unfortunately, there is no clarity on load shedding schedules, as the schedules do not work on the Web, but brace yourself. The nightmare of 2009 is back. The schedule below is not for us, but we will be affected.

Silke Kaiser on Julius Malema's racism

Imagine:

* The DA's Darren Bergman or Helen Zille refers to an ANC person as a "gardener" or "boy".
* They refer to Jacob Zuma as "the baas".

Malema gets away with shock tactics and complete rubbish, and is never disciplined. He really does display the worst face of South African politics.

Silke writes:

"People are sick and tired of the corruption in the ANC. It's just one mess after the other, and as for Julius Malema - I am in disbelief at how the ANC fails to discipline him. I reckon in the next election the ANC will have lost even more supporters. South Africans are not stupid, and even though the government would have us believe that racism is thriving, it is not. It is definitely dying out and so it should. I must say I was treated very well by the IEC when I went to vote."

End of the world as we know it?

By midnight tomorrow, we will know if the world is going to end. My personal bet is it won't, but between now and October 21 there will be a rapture and then the world will be destroyed. If you look at the traffic out Bedfordview way, you'll wonder if the Rapture did not arrive a day early!

Zapiro on the ANC's wake-up call

Update on the news site coming out of Linbro Park

Some of the most noteworthy sporting folk in the world have committed to writing for a news portal in Linbro Park. Nick Compton, grandson of Sir Denis Compton, is the latest.

Linbro Park will benefit from all this grand coverage.

Our mayor: Now you know why we can't get anything done

http://www.thedailymaverick.co.za/article/2011-05-17-after-a-disastrous-tenure-masondos-last-minutes-tick-away

As voters readied to go to the polls, the DA revealed that Joburg was in debt in the staggering amount of R2.842 billion, there was news that yet another rodent infestation had struck the city because of the Pikitup strike (http://www.timeslive.co.za/local/article1029079.ece/Rodents-infest-Joburg-CBD) and an oversight committee for the City of Johannesburg revealed that overspending on salaries and under-spending on crucial investments had resulted in a utilities crisis.

The soon to be ex-mayor isn’t sure what he will be tackling next, but he did tell the Mail & Guardian that he would be free to lend the next mayor a hand if needed. "I guess I'll always be available to supplement the work that's being carried through. I will do whatever I am called upon to do,” Masondo said. If the ANC takes Johannesburg perhaps it may be useful for Masondo to teach the mayor-elect his stock phrase for dealing with a crisis: “There is no crisis.”

Toilet update as you choose to make your vote this morning

Kill the boer judgment: posted by popular request

The words "dubula ibhunu" (shoot the boer) were declared incitement to murder in a judgment handed down in the High Court in Johannesburg on Monday.
In his order, Judge Leon Halgryn said "... the publication and chanting of the words 'dubula ibhunu', prima facie satisfies the crime of incitement to murder".

As you vote, think of where your money goes

Think about it. Our municipal manager who can't even bill properly earns nearly R7 000 a day. And the divisive, Madiba shirt-wearing Mike Sutcliffe is not far off.

As a metro mayor you enjoy the services of a full-time staff, a driver and bodyguards.

Then this is what mayors stand to earn:

* Amos Masondo of Johannesburg had an inclusive package of R955 000.
* Ditto for the mayor of Ekurhuleni.
* eThekwini mayor Obed Mlaba's last reported salary was R866 000.
* The mayor of the Metsweding district municipality, embracing Cullinan and Bronkhorstspruit, earns R517 483 a year, including transport and cellphone.
* The mayor of Cape Town earns more than R850 000. The DA's Patricia de Lille is the frontrunner, but Cosatu's Tony Ehrenreich, her competitor, says he will decline a salary.
* The mayor of the Sol Plaatje council in Kimberley draws R464 621 a year.
* In Johannesburg a member of the executive or mayoral committee earns R723 191 a year, which includes a basic salary and car allowance.
* None of this compares to city managers. Johannesburg municipal manager Mavela Dlamini has an all-inclusive package of R2,1-million, while eThekwini's Mike Sutcliffe picks up R1,9-million. Ekurhuleni municipal manager Khaya Ngema walks away with R1,8-million, while Tshwane acting manager Oupa Nkoane gets R1,2-million. Cape Town's Achmat Ebrahim earns R1,4-million, Nelson Mandela Bay municipal manager Elias Ntoba earns R1,04-million and Kimberley's Sol Plaatje municipal manager Goolam Akharwaray rakes in R1,4-million.

If these people gave us even the most basic of services, we could say well done, but ...

You may want to see this piece on whether or not to vote tomorrow

My long-standing business acquaintance Ivo Vegter has written this convoluted piece for The Daily Maverick. He has an exceptional analytical mind, but this one totally defeats logic.

Not to vote is your right, of course, but how does it improve things if you don't vote, either way?

Amazing, but this story is flying around the world, and it may incentivise people not to vote. I thought it my duty to post it here.

But I cannot think that any sane, logical person would say that holding back their vote could actually improve anything.

Sorry, Ivo, in this case it is impossible to follow your train of thought.

Worse than any Parktown Prawn

Parktown Prawns are pretty much gone, eradicated by hadedas. This is an unnamed bug from New Zealand, and it leaves our nemesis bug in the cold. Thanks to Donovan Jackson for this pic.

Linbro Park and escaped birds: how they can breed

We have been in Linbro Park for five years. In this time we have noticed an enhanced incidence of parakeets, attracted by our pecan nut tree. We love having them here, but each year their number grows. Look at what will happen, based on what has happened in London:

Native to the Indian subcontinent and sub-Saharan Africa, the rose-ringed parakeet is enjoying a population explosion in many London suburbs, turning a once-exotic bird into a notorious pest that awakens children, monopolizes garden bird feeders and might even threaten British crops.

One rough estimate put the population in Britain at 30,000 a few years ago, up from only 1,500 in 1995. Researchers at Imperial College London are now trying a more scientific census through its Project Parakeet, which enlisted volunteer birders around the country for simultaneous counts on a recent Sunday evening.

“I was delighted when I first saw one in my yard, but when you have a flock of 300, it’s a different matter,” said Dick Hayden, a retiree who was volunteering at Long Lane Park. “They eat all the berries. They ate all the food from my feeder in one day; it was ludicrous. I had to stop putting it out because it got too expensive.” 

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/14/science/earth/14parakeet.html?_r=2&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha3

No need to pay your bills this month

Update: Well, there's a surprise. The rapture did not happen. No doubt the rapture believers will now reprogram their computers to arrive at another date. We'll have to pay our bills, after all. This all raises an interesting question: did the folk who took out billboards on the highways advertising the rapture pay cash or with post-dated cheques?

Update: Just to hedge bets, some folk are advising we should issue post-dated cheques.

A lot of folk are sure we won't be here after next Saturday.

http://www.ajc.com/lifestyle/will-christ-return-may-945589.html

Tom Evans, media representative for Family Stations Inc., of which Camping is president and general manager, said, “All the signs that Jesus warned of in the Bible that would precede his return have taken place, and are evident in our world. For example, the re-establishment of the nation of Israel; the complete decay of the church; the dismal state of our world; and the moral breakdown of all of society.”

The belief holds that not only will the Rapture occur next Saturday, but the end of the world will occur on 
Oct. 21.

M&G advises we should put parties to the toilet test

http://mg.co.za/article/2011-05-13-put-party-poopers-on-the-spot/

Look at the candidates in your ward -- even if it's a rich one -- and apply to them the toilet test. Vote for the one you think is most likely to understand that it is at the level of shit, and the ability to keep it private, and separate from our drinking water, that the state faces its minimum performance requirement. We'll say it again: vote for toilets.

For anyone interested, the ANC has more open toilets

The ANC has attacked the DA relentlessly on open toilets. If you are interested in how more ANC-controlled municipalities have open toilets, read here. If not interested, simply ignore.

The reason for highlighting this issue: if you can't even install a toilet, how can you be entrusted with roads and finances?

Off topic, but essential: killer earthquake hits Spain

Zapiro on the toilets

I have had a few comments on the issue of the ANC and DA slinging mud (or other stuff) at each other re the uncovered toilets in Cape Town and Viljoenskroon.

It would have been OK for an issue like this to be debated in the time of Blackadder and Baldrick.

Even, maybe, when Verwoerd was in power.

But given the commitment of the Mbeki regime to eradicate the bucket system, and all subsequent governments, local, provincial and national, to give people dignity, there surely must be a better way.

DA blames Malema's stormtroopers. ANC says it didn't know.

ANC, DA, both hang your head in shame.


http://frank-heydenrych.blogspot.com/2011/05/zapiro-on-toilets.html

ANC clarifies its plans for Linbro Park

http://mg.co.za/article/2011-05-08-sexwale-promises-r99m-to-alex-residents

 Sexwale promises R99m to Alex residents

The government had identified 12 hectares of land in Linbro Park, Botshabelo extension and Lombardy East for redevelopment.

He (Tokyo Sexwale) promised nearly R100-million in development funds for the area.

Neighbour Owen Williams comments: What are we doing about this I wonder? For the past 15 years or so they have been the current regimes councillors have been  in charge, is Tokyo saying he is acknowledging that the current regime's councillors are the boss of the people; "  On the 18th, we are going to elect councillors who are servants of the people and not the boss of the people,”

I wonder if they (the residents as addressed in the rally) will ever get the promises made in the run-up to the election or will the vote go to the bosses who have promised much and consistently delivered less to the voters? So far the track record does not look so good.

Maybe we could get Mr Zuma to bring his machine gun and set it up on 3rd Road for the next couple of nights, and maybe the attempted robberies are in fact perpetrated by "boers"  as they appear to like skulking in the agricultural properties, (Maybe planting late season crops?) and maybe Mr Malema could sit there with Mr Zuma's machine gun and get rid of them for us?

What our ministers earn ... this will enrage you and blow your mind

http://frank-heydenrych.blogspot.com/2011/05/what-our-ministers-earn-this-will.html

Proof that the ANC has no regard for people's dignity

The ANC makes huge capital of the DA's difficulty with toilets in Cape Town. Yet this situation has persisted for eight years.

ANC-run local municipality has left loos open since 2003
May 7, 2011 11:57 PM | By ISAAC MAHLANGU
For months, the ANC kicked up a stink over open toilets in the Western Cape - now it appears the ruling party has its own share of shame in this department.

It has emerged that 1600 toilets, some built as far back as 2003, in parts of the ANC-run Moqhaka local municipality in the Free State have been left uncovered for years.

A moment of happiness in Linbro Park

My beautiful son Matthew loves his early morning walk to check the diggers, rollers and tip trucks at the southern end of Hilton Road. One or more of our dogs accompanies us. This is a lifestyle that is departing faster than the government's credibility, but for now, what a moment. This snapped Thursday morning.

And yet another armed robbery

Update: Danielle van Eck reports: Last night at 7.15, 2 armed men entered the property through Papale empty property again.

They tried to break in to my son’s car, he shouted at them through the window upon which they proceeded to shoot 5 shots at him.

The police responded within 10 minutes.

These robbers are no longer just interested in stealing property, they now come to kill.

How is it that the police has not put a task team together to catch these criminals that repeatedly attack us????

 From now on, we will shoot on sight!


Update: It is worth noting that my son raised the alarm two days ago when he saw a white vehicle coming up our driveway. This was at around 3.30pm. When I made my way down the driveway, the vehicle rapidly reversed and drove off towards Ronald.

It all happened so fast we did not get a licence plate or vehicle ID. But Nic's report re a white vehicle cruising, and the Van Ecks' and Michelle Nel's armed robbery attempts fit the picture. In hindsight, we were probably very lucky.

And an update from Michelle Nel:

They came to Roger’s house next. At around 8pm we had an incursion at 52 3^rd road at Roger Price. We heard the Van Eck gunshots and were just about to leave when Roger said I should get inside the house and he want to investigate. He saw three men walking down Third Road as he was pulling open his gate. One had a gun. Roger raced back inside the house. The one guy followed him in and next thing he was standing at Roger’s locked back door (glass) with his gun cocked. Roger had set off the alarm deliberately. I ran and hid and Roger called the cops. They and ADT were there in 5 minutes.

Nic Nel reports:

Another armed robbery at Van Ecks 53 2nd Road tonight

About 19h45 Gerrit’s wife saw movement at their cars outside. Gerrit shouted out and then ducked when he heard a gun being cocked. As he stepped back 3 bullets fired through his window into the wall behind him narrowly missed him.

Fortunately Juan had the San Car Sector numbers I sent them yesterday and the police were quickly on the scene but could not get access until I arrived and pointed them to the lower gate to the property.

Access to the property was again gained from the Papale empty stand at 54 3rd Road. I could raise neither Dave nor Danielle on the cell phone numbers I have for them.

A black old Golf 1 Reg. XCH676GP with 4/5 males was seen slowly cruising 3rd Road this afternoon.

I used to get crime tip-offs against the payment of a R30 reward cell-phone recharge.  This system has been abrogated because the Provincial CPF Chairman, Andy Mashaile, threatened me with arrest, claiming that only the Police and the NIA are allowed to gather “intelligence”. Despite repeated requests, he has not been able to refer me to a legal passage supporting his intimidation. His prohibition of my system has undoubtedly contributed to the resurgence in crime in Linbro Park.

I repeat my mail of yesterday:

The Police have introduced a system of Sector Policing where the public have direct access to at least 2 Police vehicles on Patrol in a particular Sector – much like we can call ADT Car direct. For the most part, response time is about 5 minutes.

The Linbro sector police vehicles are

0716756028

0716756129

The ADT car is

0834112664

Note the numbers before it is too late.

Another armed robbery in Linbro Park

Unedited, here are the reports from Owen and Melody Williams and Nic Nel:

Started out at 21:10 contacted ADT (Leemack?) who was at 29 first Road drove there 2 ADT cars in attendance told by ADT afterwards that it was an armed robbery with reportedly 6 assailants. Drove immediately to Second & Third roads looking for parked cars and the like adjacent to the unkempt, unkept open properties. No vehicles in sight and no pedestrians. Still a lot of plots with no clearly identifiable numbers at night. I wondered where all the rubbish in Linbro went during the garbage strike, look no more a lot of it is on Douglas Road. With so many overgrown plots you could hide an army let alone a few criminals.  Saw ADT at 9:50 driving around plus Chubb, no one had seen anything. A couple of obvious residents driving home and 1 or 2 pedestrians.

Knocked off at 22:17.

Melody & Owen

The robbers were waiting for the tenants when they returned home at about 20h20.  Their Panic Button was not working but they had not reported the fault yet to ADT.  The gardener alerted Stephen Papale who reported to Sandringham and then contacted me.  I sent ADT to the scene from Hilton Road where he was patrolling.  I then phoned the Sandringham Sector Patrol Car and it had just arrived at the crime site.

Between 5 and 6 BM robbers were involved, 3 of whom were armed.  Computers and laptops were taken but nobody was physically injured.

Nico Nel

Greenstone yesterday

Update: Alex Eliseev of 702, who covered the Japan earthquake in fine detail, is reporting that several cars were hit by the hijackers as they opened fire at random in an effort to get SAPS off their trail. No one was injured, but the thought of having bullets hit your car as you come down from the M54 is chilling.

Secondly, it was not Blockwatch folk, but a contracted security company, which pursued the criminals.

Original post: My wife Karen was on her way to a client meeting with me in Bryanston when she saw the most extraordinary police activity down Modderfontein Road.

Here, as far as we can work out, is what happened:

* A Glenhazel man was robbed and hijacked after leaving an FNB branch
* Three men raced away and were pursued by local Blockwatch folk
* A SAPS helicopter and SAPS in cars cornered them in Modderfontein
* A fierce gun battle ensued, with the robbers firing at random at drivers, no more than 3km from the M54, which links Linbro Park and Modderfontein
* No one was injured. The Corolla was badly damaged, but after a 90-minute manhunt the three suspects were caught and are in jail.

And this happened.

Greenstone Mall evacuated after bomb scare
Jacob Moshokoa | 10 Hours Ago

Staff and shoppers were evacuated from the Greenstone Mall on Gauteng’s East Rand on Tuesday following a bomb scare.

Police received a tip-off that a device was placed at the FNB bank in the Edenvale mall. Shoppers were then evacuated and streets around the mall were cordoned off.

“A lady received a telephone call from a guy who said there was a bomb in the bank,” said the police’s Robbie Roberts. “The Greenstone management evacuated the whole Greenstone Mall and a bomb disposal unit is at the scene at the moment.”

The ANC has made much of the DA's supposed failure to provide covered toilets in the Cape

Update: Daily Maverick on the toilet issue. In my view, DA 1 ANC 0.

Sad toilet saga shows ANC puts politics first
EVEN if you assume Judge Nathan Erasmus’s ruling in the Makhaza toilets case is correct in strictly legal terms, which is open to debate and possible appeal, you have to wonder where justice comes into it.

It is common cause that the council has tried on several occasions to enclose the minority of toilets that hadn’t already been enclosed by the residents themselves in accordance with the community agreement Erasmus decided was unlawful. It was prevented from doing so by members of the ANC Youth League, who tore down the wood and iron structures as quickly as they were erected.

DA meeting Wednesday 4 May

Darren Bergman is holding a DA presentation at Modderfontein Golf Club Wednesday 4 May 6pm to 7pm. If you can be there, you will hear his and the DA's plans for Linbro and environs.
