I hope some of you could get some clarity on the Property Rates issue and share with some of your members. If you missed it, please refer to two posts before this one. Our petition is currently with the Ombudsman.

I met with the JoburgCAN crisis Alliance last night. JoburgCAN was asked to help put some of the ideas to action. We will keep you in the loop with regards to this.

Please save the following dates (Formal invites will follow next week):

1 November 18h30 JoburgCAN Webinar: “What can be done to fix the City”

15 November 18h00 JoburgCAN Network Session at Parkview Golf Club.

22 November 18h30 JoburgCAN Webinar – Topic to be announced.

We are currently engaging with various organised business structures to determine solidarity on the issues that need to be tackled in the City.

It seems that there is a lot of interest for Residents Associations to also show their support for JobrugCAN by adding their Logo to the JoburgCAN site as an endorsement whilst they go through the motions of becoming affiliates. I will engage OUTA Exco on Monday to see if we can do this. It makes sense to show a collective. A poll will follow.

With regards to affiliation, I have finalised the MOU today and it should be up on the website next week. We will let you know as soon as this is ready.

Sorry for the long message. Hopefully you can now put your feet up.

Enjoy the weekend. Go bokke!!!
