        Dear Resident,

What’s happening this week & next: 13 to 24 December 2019

A little while ago we spoke about how time seems to fly as we age and the importance of trying new things to slow time down. I hope that some of you have tried this advice with positive results.

We seem to be swamped with bad news in South Africa at the moment, especially with the latest round of ‘load-shedding’ it is enough to depress anyone. Sadly bad news becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I propose that for the rest of December 2019 we avoid bad news (and the darkness if we are able to). Avoid it in the press and on television, don’t pass it along in your conversation and look for the good news in our society. There is lots of good news amidst the doom and gloom, you just need to look in the right places. Seek out people making a positive difference and support them, even if only with words of encouragement, help someone less fortunate than yourself and tell your friends and family just how much they mean to you. Have a grateful heart as you consider how blessed you have been over the past year. Let’s give ourselves a break by binning the bad news at least for the festive season. We can then face up to the challenges of the New Year with a fresh perspective and a well-rested body, mind and soul.

There will be lots to do during the festive season and I am encouraging you to enjoy these activities to the fullest.

Would like to thank our caterers, Western Province Caterers, for the fabulous Christmas Dinner / Year End Dinner, held on Wednesday evening, judging by the feedback a good time was had by all. The live entertainment and DJ added a great touch. By all accounts most folks thought the DJ the best of the two, so thank you Shawn for some great ‘entertainment’. I think in future with occasions like these we will dispense with the live entertainment and just have a DJ. Let me know what you think.

I received some feedback from Chris Bennett, who co-ordinated the ‘Poppy Day’ donation tin, that we managed to collect R433.00. So again, thank you to all those who ‘bought’ a poppy. Another big thank you to those so generously donated foods stuffs for those children that rely on the school, Capricorn Primary School, for their daily meals. We managed to fill six big and two small boxes full of groceries.

During this load shedding, a number of you are concerned about power surges when the electricity is restored. Something as simple as switching the mains off and all the plugs on the distribution board or pre-paid meter at least 5 minutes before the power is scheduled to go off could prevents appliances from perhaps breaking as a result of the sudden surge of electricity when it is restored. If you use a multi-plug, get one with surge protectors as an added prevention tool. After the power has been restored, first switch on the mains and then the plugs in the house. It may seem a tedious operation, but prevention beats a cure I say.”
Also make sure to charge your mobile phone, laptop, tablet and radio when power is available. Depending on the load-shedding stage, some cell phone networks may be affected.

We do inform you timeously so that you are able to put these measures into place if you are concerned. Find attached Stage 1 and 2 load-shedding schedules. We are in AREA 8.

Please also find attached minutes from the last residents committee meeting, held on Tuesday, 10 December. A big thank you to Jim Raubenheimer for getting the minutes out so speedily.

We would like to wish the following residents a very Happy Birthday:

A special birthday wish to both Michael Dean, House 57, and James Davidson, Apartment 309, who are turning 85 and 80 years old respectively.

Village General


  *   eThank you to those who have volunteered to be “Evacuation Marshals”. We need six marshals on each apartment floor and six marshals for the houses. You will be trained into exactly what you are required to do. We will be holding a meeting with each group.
  *   A reminder to please let the office know when you leave and when you return to the village for any medical procedures. We do not always know when you leave the village, it is vitally important, not only from a safety point of view but also from a medical and healthcare point. We need to know what transpired so we are able to put a healthcare plan together.
  *   Remember to test your TeleCare unit RED button regularly, at least once every two weeks and report to the office if it is not working.
Have a great week-end and let’s hope the Blitz Bokke bring the cup back to Cape Town after finishing third last year.
