Bordeaux’s Roads receive some TLC
We have been asking JRA to resurface Main St due to it being a route used by many commuters avoiding
Jan Smuts Ave and also because of the recent rains which have left our roads in a poor state. We are
happy that this is now being attended to – we will continue to fight for the well being of the suburb and its
upgraded infrastructure. Centre line and stop streets to be repainted shortly.

Park Ave Gate Motor has been Repaired
Please be advised that the Park Ave gate motor has been repaired following a particularly severe lightning
strike. Unfortunately the main board has had to be replaced and this has necessitated the need to recode
all remotes for this access / exit point. If you have a remote and it has not yet been recoded (residents on
the security chat groups have already been informed) please email us on buzz@bsra.co.za to make an
arrangement to meet James at the gate as the last group to have your remote done.
A quick open letter to the
Mayor of Joburg, Cllr Parks Tau
Fumes running the City
Dear Executive Mayor
Executive is a big word. Nearly as big as some of the potholes that are
lacing the streets in Joburg suburbs. There is as much need for you to tell
me that it has been raining excessively in Joburg as I have a need to tell
you, that should your administration have managed these road surfaces
over the last years that you have been running this city, we wouldn’t have the crisis that we do.
I’m often asked what your and Councillors roles are in the City. I do try to explain but the conversation so
quickly turns into how the City, region and ward are run on what seems to be crisis fumes.
I have no issue performing my role as the Ward Councillor for Ward 102 which includes the Randburg
CBD, which is an apparent focus of the City however I struggle to get answers from officials related to the
spending and progress of the approved budget line items so I wonder how much of a focus it actually is.
We get told to have issues logged. Honourable Mayor, there is only so much logging we can do. We have
Urban Inspectors, City and entity Officials, Councillors, residents, businesses all logging and very few
people actually doing. Note: Doing means doing it properly, the first time.
I’m typing this as I sit on a plane from Cape Town to Jozi. For a second forget that the Democratic Alliance
runs Cape Town. Think for a second that it is a City where basic service delivery actually functions and
functions without a fuss. On a quick trip to the beach front, I found 4 people sweeping and skoffling
(removing weeds with a spade). 2 were City employees. 2 were EPWP workers. All 4 were working.
Comparatively speaking, politics aside, I noticed recently in Joburg that it took about 6 JRA Strijdom Park
depot workers 2 or 3 days to de-weed a small pavement in Randburg.
Back to the potholes. Seems together with load shedding, it is the trending topic of the week. The City’s
JRA entity launched a brilliant project to rehabilitate roads in Joburg. I’ve had roads resurfaced in my ward
in the last few weeks and I’ve had emails about the (poor) quality of work. Rehabilitated roads already
have potholes! Would you believe it?
Poor JRA, they seem to always take the brunt. City Power are doing great work in my Ward. Replacing
cables and upgrading the network. Thank you. Not all bad news except for the fact that I have 2 residents
that want simple questions answered about their burnt out meters and your staff just fail to reply
constructively to emails sent to them. Hoping that a certain official in the Office of the MMC: Environment
and Infrastructure delivers answers as a World Class African City should.

PALISADE
Honourable Mayor, time to get your staff morale up. I see, feel and hear it daily. Staff are disillusioned.
I was forwarded an email from a City of Joburg call centre employee where dissatisfaction related to
working conditions and pay disparity was seemingly real and a concern which was resulting in a complete
lack of interest and service delivery shortcomings.
You are welcome to visit anytime. Best place to meet: William Nicol corner Peter Place in Bryanston.
Ps. We need to be cautious, both sides of the road are going to soon collapse.
Plane is landing soon. Luckily this plane had fuel. Joburg’s plane on the other hand…

Feeding of Vagrants
Once more, SAPS has contacted us to please ask you (instruct you) not to feed vagrants. We apologise
if this sounds harsh but there was yet another incident where someone was attacked by a vagrant when
opening the gate to give them food in a neighbouring suburb. The Displaced Persons Unit is assisting local
RAs with a handbook on what we can do for these people, but safety comes first – please. It’s not just your
safety – it’s that of your neighbours too.

Peace of mind for you and
your family... SINCE 2009
We are a small family run pet sitting business, thus
pre-booking essential as we limit the number of
clients we work with during December to ensure
quality care of your beloved pets and home whilst
you are away. Daily visit includes, feeding and
watering your pets in the mornings. In addition we
will remove any mail and litter from the outside
of your property, and conduct a perimeter check,
water any indoor plants.
Is your dog
really happy?
√ Is everyday hectic
√ Don’t have time to relax
√ Run out of time to go walkies
√ Is your dog behaving badly
Exercise and getting out is a vital part of caring for your dog – it
could resolve many behavioural issues like digging, chewing,
barking, howling and aggression.
Find out how you can help your best friend with a
regular walking program.

in the City of Johannesburg
The City of Johannesburg relies on its residents to log service delivery failures so
that it may have the opportunity to attend to them. If issues are not logged on
the City’s service delivery systems, the entities are likely unaware of the
breakdowns and until you report such, the breakdowns may remain unresolved.
As active citizens that live, work and play in the City of Johannesburg you need to
get involved and LOOK AND LOG. That way you hold the local government
officials accountable for service delivery.
The Councillors in the City of Johannesburg serve as the interface between the citizens they represent
and the municipal officials who design and implement development polices. The councillor’s job is not
just to serve as the voice of the people, for the expression of their community needs, but also to act as
a watchdog and ensure the municipality implements policies to address the needs of citizens. It is
therefore important that should issues you log not be adequately addressed, such be brought to the
attention of your local Ward or PR councillor.
Take charge of your suburb and log issues that need attention!
