POOR SERVICE DELIVERY!
Infrastructure Breakdowns…
THE CHAIRMAN’S PLEA
Top Priority List of issues affecting this
suburb in particular, NATURENA
A. City Power – Cable Theft Syndicates
B. City Parks – Uncut Grass & Park
C. JRA – Potholes in every street
D. Joburg Water – Street Water Leaks
Poor service delivery in South Africa seems to
be an inherited bad work ethics; adopted by
municipality employees, contractors and
government workers to promote political
power struggles and complacency.
It is unfortunate that power struggle games are
done at the expense of the nation and affected
rates payers and home owners of the city,
suburbs and Black Townships
ROAD LEAKING PIPES
Collapse of the local infrastructure is part of
bad management of City Power’s unattended
leaking water pipes and bad road repairs.
Roads in Naturena starting with Vesting Street
at number #1 takes more than two months
before a problem is attended by these
departments. If this is not poor planning and
execution of duties, I don’t know what is!
However, the most current and pressing issues
affecting this suburb is – “Poor
Workmanship” after every other issue has
been attended to. City Power, does not patch
up the area to leave it tidy and leveled so, that
the street is kept free from humps, soil erosion
and muddy dripping holes.

ILLEGAL CONNECTIONS!
City Power’s cable theft protest
Above: Tyre burning by residents of Naturena ward
119 region G. Illegal cable connection by Devland
squatter camps instigated this strike and road blocks
MACINA’S EYE WITNESS
City of Johannesburg is experiencing poor
service delivery challenges of cable theft, by
local and neighbouring shack dwellers of
Devland, south of Johannesburg.
Naturena tax payers were constantly at the
mercy of electricity outages. City Power’s
Naturena power grid is always overloaded,
because of cable theft and illegal connection.
Whiles response from authorities to deal
with restoration took longer than expected.
It was obvious that residents becoming
annoyed and jittery to hold on to their
silence and frustration. Outages became a
daily occurrence. Residents stroked back.

Hello, this is CRAMPS volunteers of

advertising Sponsorship, by Mr. Macina.
We are negotiating with N.H.O.P Forum to
help us promote Small Black Businesses in
surrounding Townships & Suburbs to
advertise on their websites in order to boost
SMME customers after COVID-19.
We need support and courtesy to help us
find these, small business in Naturena and
surrounding townships for this purpose. Do
your part help us- help others!
NATURENA STRIKES BACK
Shack dwellers around Naturena are not
listed as tax payers and do not have the
city’s account bill to validate illegal
connections. This comes as no surprise as
each Devland shack dweller have DSTV
connected to their shacks.
To this day there is no legal ramification for
illegal connection. It is therefore,
unacceptable for both COJ and City Power
to continue supply of this connection if
perpetrators are not brought to book.
As a result, service delivery in has become
an irritable dilemma to resolve without a
fight. The city and its councilors are tight
leaped because of poor leadership skills and
unchallenged work ethics on the part of both
the employer, contractors and the city’s
employees.
It remains to be seen if the mayor will be
able to honestly clean and spend the city’s
renewal budget to a successful endeavor.
WHY DO I NEED YOUR HELP?
While NHOP Forum charges us to book and
advertise on their website, it is expensive to
promote (1) One person instead of (5) Five.
More is much cheaper. So, I need your help
and a favour from you.
There is no cost to do this for us. But just a
simple cooperation to find at least 3-5 other

good deed! (CAUSE).
All I need from you is to invite 3 to 5 of
these businesses to also benefit from this

Petition To SUE!
for poor service
delivery
RESIDENTS MOBILIZE
Residents of Naturena region G Ward 119
have the right to sue the City of Johannesburg
for poor service delivery. The only way to go
about this legal process is to mobilize
signatures from residents to sign this kind of
petition.
It is within the rights of residents to compile
every other issue of discontent relating to
infrastructure decay, that such a move can be
executed.
The best way and only means to start the
process, is by documenting every possible
misconduct of affected departments on
matters not attended to from logging calls with
the city.
This move empowers residents, to possess
records of what each and every complaint was
about. Legal issues in most cases require proof
of such reporting to make our case relevant to
stand trial and implicate contractors including
individual employees.
Tuesday 14, 2022 Naturena residents took their cable
theft and electricity outages problems to the streets.
Residents were fad up in the way City Power deals with
these constant irritating problems.

SERVING US IS AN OBLIGATION
The city is not doing us a favour!
EDITORIAL COMMENT
A Government official without
accountability is like hiring a blind man
to drive a car that won't reach its desired
destination because the driver is blind.
Our democracy is about fixing our broken
moral “barometer conscience”, after 1994. To
correct errors created by CODESA leaders
and managers who failed to lead by example.
They run the country by treating citizen as
imbeciles, instead of kings and not "ATM"
cash-cows. Our taxes pay their salaries.
It should be about rebuilding our country
equally for legal citizens to be inclusive
beneficiaries of democracy. To be enjoyed by
all who put their blood, sweat and tears in
earning their living within legal means.
To flourish and to benefit anyone who adds
value to our economic growth, safety, and
development in a responsible way.
Write A Book
Before you die…
BCR: By Isaac Khonjelwayo
A majority of us will never make an attempt
to tell their story while alive and ticking;
simply because they think writing a book
needs a special talent or a magic wand to
warrant receiving an accolade.
Those that are born with any special skills
to write and tell outstanding stories or
display impeccable reporting ability for
writing articles without exerting an effort
are one in a million.
It should be remembered that our country’s
rise from despair before 1994, our aspirations
and the soul of our nation was unified to
conquer the evils of Apartheid.
It should be about capabilities of our officials
and councilors to deliver exceptional quality
services without political meddling, greed and
selfishness, rather to do the right thing.
To help all communities in need of their
support, i.e., residents! Offer unconditional
attention without exploitation or prejudice.
Yet, deliver and carry their mandate to our
communities with confidence. Display
exceptional knowledge, creative problems
solving and technical skills with competency
index not to justify a political position to
regress our political milestones against
Apartheid.
It should be about recognizing and expressing
our deep creative God given talents and
abilities, to serve. Follow their voice of
reason and intuition succinctly. To
indiscriminately empower our citizens
through expertise we all fought to enjoy
within this democracy.
Motivation To Write or Speak Your Mind
Is a Right and Not a Privilege
I think every individual who has an opinion or
a story to tell can become a trained author and
or a professional writer. As the saying goes
“practice makes perfect” the more you write
the better you become.
The motivation to express an opinion or tell a
story will vary from person to person
depending on their urge, will power and
personal drive to let it come to the fore front
of public knowledge. This urge and drive can
be inspired by an attempt to preserve or
express the following ideals, namely.
1. Leave A Legacy Behind Your Name.
2. Tell The Real Story of Your Life’s
Purpose.
3. Teach The World Something You Know
That They Don’t.

Naturena has untapped talent that has never been exposed to local residents including the City of Joburg. This artist has been doing it behind closed doors. Here’s Exhibition

The latest breaking news

The time I spend with them as strangers in my company turned to be
an eye opening yet, profound experience. Each one of these kids had
an ambition while most of them have dropped out of school. Finding a
Youth untapped skills & talent… decent job in South Africa under this government is not going to be
easy, considering we are competing with highly skilled foreigners.

CRAMPS DISCOVERS UNKNOWN TALENT DEVELOPING A SKILLS STARTS WITH VOLUNTEERING

By: Mr. I. Khonjelwayo
How much more can we ignore our youth in Naturena and pretend
jobs will fall from the sky? Walk around the neighbourhood, and
don’t be shocked to meet a group of guys hanging around the corner
smoking ganja.
Our sons and daughters will be stuck between a rock and a hard place,
if they don’t change their attitudes to discover a new perspective on
life. It is a known fact that hustling for a professional good career
prospect – starts with offering your free time to gain new skills,
without a “PAY”. Experience can only be acquired by gaining
knowledge from NGO’s and non-profit making organizations to access
unknown opportunities.

What would be the cause of our To my surprise these Naturena

youth hanging about and smoking
marijuana and other habit-forming
substances? The answer is not
farfetched, yet easy to know.
Naturena suburb does not have a
recreational facility. Why is this?
There might be several reasons why
our children are lost in a world of
delusion and helplessness. Do we
have people who care to seek and
take a lead to initiate these
programs?
Well, government will not come to
our rescue until we all take
responsibilty to become proactive
problem-solving residents, of this
community.
youths aspire to become successful
soccer players, musicians and rap
Where Is the Future for Local Youth artists, Information Technology
Development Programs? entrepreneurs etc. The question I’d
like to know from you fathers,
mothers, sisters and brother is; (How
much time do you spend with them
to know them better?) – “What they
want from Life?”
It is difficult to help someone whose
ambition in life is undirected
towards a specific outcome. Our
children need to be taught “life
skills”. To navigate through
treacherous potholes of life, is not an
easy journey. Guidance and
coaching will only happen when
Naturena establishes a Youth
Development Center.

I was driving around on a Sunday morning when I noticed these young
dudes at a corner about, 11:30 a.m. doing absolutely nothing. The
truth of the matter is that “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop; idle
lips are his mouthpiece. – Proverbs 16:27”. If we do not initiate
community youth development programs, to keep our children out of
trouble; we will end up breeding potential criminals or addicts.
Surprisingly after having a chat with them, little did I realize how
talented and gifted most of them are. They need guidance, direction
moral support and motivation to keep and realize their true potential.
Waiting for Government to initiate cultural programs is not one of their
priorities. Resident must also play a role in making local youths find
themselves on a path to a better future. These young guys need
inspiration, fire and passion to know their ultimate purpose in life.
School leaving without matriculation, should not deter any child from
pursuing their dreams or goals. No one can find their purpose in life, if
they cannot visualize their dreams or aspirations to seek success.
Everything good and long-lasting comes with learning a new skill,
sacrifice & hard work. So! A life-skills coach is indispensable.

ILLEGAL CONNECTIONS!
City Power’s Cable Theft Strike

City of Johannesburg is experiencing poor
service delivery challenges of illegal cable
theft, by local and neighbouring shack
dwellers of Devland.
Naturena tax payers were constantly at the
mercy of electricity outages. City Power
Naturena grid system is always overload
because of delayed responses from
authorities to deal with illegal connections.
It was obvious that residents became
frustrated and angry over daily electricity cut
offs even when Eskom load shedding
became unnecessary.
UNEMPLOYMENT STATS S.A. HAS GONE GAGA.
It Requires New Hustling Aptitudes to Conquer Our Fears
DILEMMA
Other reasons for unemployment, could
simply be; poor creative hustling ability and
proper skills to rise above these challenges.
Challenge is good and it is a measure of
divine intervention to test and shape our
resilience for capacity to bring out the best
in all of us.
Until everyone can begin to tap into this
creative unlimited force of life, to be the
best God wants us to be! Few, if any will
not reach their full potential to realize their
goals. Hustling is not for the faint-hearted.
NATURENA 1ST STRIKE
Shack dwellers around Naturena are not
listed as tax payers and do not have the
city’s account bill to validate illegal
connections. This comes as no surprise as
each Devland shack dweller have DSTV
connected to their shacks.
To this day there is no legal ramification for
illegal connection. It is therefore,
unacceptable for both COJ and City Power
to continue supplier of this connection if
perpetrators are not brought to book.
Service delivery in Naturena has become a
big challenge for the city and its councilors,
purely because of poor leadership skills or
work ethics on the part of both the
employer, contractors and city employees.
It remains to be seen if the mayor will be
able to honestly clean and spend the city’s
renewal budget to a successful endeavor.
YOUTH DON’T HUSTLE ENOUGH!
This talent that every person possesses in
different forms, is our greatest asset. It
should be used as a full-time tool, for self-
reliance, not to depend on anyone to
experience life to the fullest.
To tap into this amazing potential energy and
to alter our destiny for every other
unemployed person or inactive citizen. We
must understand that "Life" was not meant to
be a "walk-in-the-park".
Otherwise, what will be the purpose of
motivation to dream - if everything was
easy? Here are the reasons why it is
important to decrease the high percentage of
unemployment in South Africa.

It is in the interest of the public, small businesses and traders and
informal traders; to know and to take the trouble to understand
these By-Laws and to obey them at all costs. There will be
consequences to individuals who ignore or break these laws.
As South African communities and small business people, we need to
take responsibilty and account of what it means to run and operate a
City like Johannesburg or a Township like Soweto. As local citizens,
we must support the initiative by the City of Johannesburg to offer
better services to its residents and citizens without compromising its
standards. This way a promise to delivery prosperity and jobs for all
can be realized.
A majority of people have taken for granted these opportunities as if
they fall from the sky. For example, if we do not pay our rates and
taxes and business permits; how can the city build a better city to
make it possible for small traders to operate? We want to attract
international tourism and good investments to create jobs. So, we’ll
need everyone including foreigners to cooperate with authorities.
Page 6 Joburg South Soweto News & Views
It is in the interest of the public and traders to know and take the
trouble to understand these By-Laws and to obey them at all costs.
There will be consequences to individuals who ignore or break these
laws. Legal implications include a “fine” or “jail term”.
Definition of Goods & what it means:
"Goods" means any movable property and includes a living thing;
''Impoundment Cost” means:

I will end this section of by-laws and will continue with it, in our
next publication to try and educate our readers, why it is important
to know and read these regulations and laws.
The City of Johannesburg is going to introduce Strick by-law
enforcement checks and balances to punish any person or people who

Kudos CPF Cable THEFT Stop…
The Editors of this publication would like to thank the
Naturena CPF for tracking down and tracing criminals
who were connecting electricity cable in Naturena.
BADGE OF HONOR
Naturena CPF members of the community
must be highly commended to the job well
done. Their efforts to track down cable theft
thieves, is commendable. Residents of
Naturena were victims of illegal cable theft
from squatter camps community in Devland.
It took these brave men and women to take
action and investigate, why electricity
outages were affecting our connections in
this suburb. Due to their untiring efforts and
bravery, as a community- we need to honour
them and offer them tokens of appreciation
for the work they do in the suburb.
I fail to understand, why we couldn’t take
the time and make an effort, find it in our
hearts, to honour them.
NATURENA “Property Listing & Jobs”
Did you know – You can list & sell your property on our
WEBSITE
If you are resident of Naturena and have
subscribed to our Forum, by now you
should access important services the
website is offering to the readers.
Naturena Homeowners Property Forum, is
more than just a website. It is a dynamic
information portal where people can find
amazing staff.
Local citizens and Jozi South people can
book community events, post and sell
property, rent out property. Post a job
opportunity for job seekers and employers.
Perhaps a special day where we can know
them, be introduced to them and pay tribute
to the hard work and the sacrifices they do
for their community.
I know I’m treading on a political pathway,
that will create a hullaballoo, among
residents who do not appreciate the
volunteer work that goes into protecting
lives.
These guys at this point in time in our
suburb indispensable. Due to the kind of
work they do. First and foremost, they’ve
volunteered to put their lives at risk for us.
It remains to be seen if the mayor will be
able to honestly clean and spend the city’s
renewal budget to a successful endeavor.
A token of appreciation like a Badge of
Honour can go a long way to boost their
moral while the community- sleeps
peacefully at night. We had an altercation
with City Power, before this matter was
completely resolved.
HOW CAN YOU BENEFIT FROM THIS?
First things first. Naturena suburb is part of
Region (G) and falls under Ward 119. What
does this mean?
It means this suburb is part of the Old
Naturena, new extension, 11, 15, 19 and 26.
But also incorporates, Freedom Park,
(Siyaya) & Dark City. Devland Ext 27, 31,
30 & 35, Bushkoppies and Van Valley.
According to City of Johannesburg
demarcation of these areas, it means each
ward has its own councilor and management
team to help us address local municipality
issues and problems. Yet, few people are
using this facility to communicate.

Why It Is Vital to PAY
RATES & TAXES.
RESIDENTS PLEASE PAY!
Paying rates and taxes is not a moral issue any
more than drinking water and turning your
lights on is a moral issue -to survive in the
concrete jungle.
Imagine people who have established
themselves with discomfort in rural areas
without electricity, decent sanitation and
water delivery into their houses. How can we
call this comfortable if they paid rates & taxes
regularly, yet such services were nonexistent?
City life and rural life are not the same. In
metropolitan areas life is too expensive, and
demands cash liquidity and hard work to live
comfortably. To do so, one must pay for
availability of such services.
Life cannot be lives on assumptions that,
government and municipalities will give
everyone free services. Yes! People can
receive Free Food parcel and Education. But,

It was a Big Lie for politicians to promise
people free services. Nelson Mandela and his
ANC duped our people into thinking
everything in life is free. I do not work for
Joburg City nor do I advocate or preach the
Gospel of doomsday. Where people and voters
I made to believe life is free.
If that was the case, how would these services
we paid to the public sector. How would you
pay contractors and suppliers of these
commodities?
South Africa owes money to the IMF and
China for certain debts related to National
Infrastructure Development Projects. How
will they pay this debt if we do not pay rates?

REPORTING WATER
LEAKS
Perpetual Joburg Water Leaks at
#.1 Vesting Street, has become an
unreasonable request to fathom. As
if residents are asking for Jesus
Christ to give us manna from
heaven. Reporting water leaks to
Joburg Water is like trying to “pull
tooth out of a fairy”.

It is a very unpleasant and bad

experience to make that call.
Rather when problems are logged
and reported via the (011) 375-
5555, and a reference number is
given. It is as if the call Centre
wants to avoid you by issuing this
reference number, so that you can
go away.

Apparently, you’ll never hear from

anyone again until you become
insane. Long awaited calls and a
reference number take months to
happen timeously. Yet, follow up of
repairs take years if not ignored
completely.

How Long Should Poor Service Delivery Be Tolerated?

The
issues on these pictures were reported in April, 2021 and only now, attended to after several calls and complaints were lodged.
Repairs Follow up: On the 26th June at about 11:00 a.m. a truck stopped by at the leaking pipe. Two African women wearing
uniforms pulled out two spades to close a leaking hole with soil and mud. It took them less than 10 minutes and they drove
away. By the way four days earlier a truck with two male workers stopped. These guys did not fix the leaking pipe. Instead they piled more ground
soil, to stop the leaks from dripping down the road. As I write this report now the problem is still not resolved yet! Today is the 7/07/2022.

“We need to create a clean, healthy and safe environment for our children to live and play in,” said Cllr Gololo.

RESIDENTS AT IVORY PARK
DECLARES WAR ON LITTER!
What is holding Naturena Community for
Doing the Same Thing?
More than 100 residents of Ivory Park,
north of Johannesburg, on Tuesday April 11
rolled up their sleeves to rid vast swathes of
the township of litter threatening their
environment and making their
neighbourhood an eyesore.
NEIGHBOURHOOD CLEAN Abigail Ndlovu for leading the initiative
from the front. “This is the reason I decided
A clean environment attracts good people to actively participate in the campaign
and potential tourism and investments. instead of just telling residents to keep their
The Citizen Relationship and Urban environment clean,” said Cllr Gololo.
Management (CRUM) in Region A
always encourages residents to keep their
environment clean and not allow it to
become a breeding ground for rodents and
diseases.
The residents were assisted by a number of
City of Johannesburg entities – including
the Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA),
Johannesburg City Parks & Zoo (JCPZ),
Johannesburg Metro Police Department
(JMPD) and Pikitup – as well as members
of the Community Workers' Programme
(CWP) and the Extended Public Works
Programme (EPWP). She said the best way to get community participation
was to get personally involved and lead by example.

Our
Rights as Residents &
Citizens Have Been
Taken for Granted. It is
time that residents make a move to take
the municipality and its workers to
account.
The only and perhaps best way to go
about this process, is to keep recording
and documenting these service delivery
problems on paper in order to prepare
legal action against these workers and
their superiors. The city should keep
and maintain services on a monthly
basis, not when they’re broken. Without
us as ratepayers, the City of Joburg
would never be able to receive money
from the treasury.
Residents of Naturena have the
opportunity to take matters affecting
poor services delivery by the city,
seriously. It is through reporting and
documenting or penning down these
complaints, that legal action can be taken
against employees, managers and the
Joburg Water. These suggestions will
become an effective long-term alternative
to deal with unprecedented power
struggles within political parties, and
poor service deliver issues.
By following this process diligently and
strategically, there will come a time to act
on these matters rendered by this
department and its employees.

This is how YOU

increase SALES with.
THE ART OF PROSPECTING!
By: Isaac Khonjelwayo

If you’re selling insurance or cars as an

example, I will use. This is what you must
decide. How many clients do you want to
attract to your products or service?

Assume you want to close 10 deals a month,

based on the example I’ve just given. It means
you need to expose your service to a minimum
of 1,000 potential clients/prospects.

How Do You EXPLAIN!

How do you translate this into a sale? Well!
You need to distribute at least 1,000 flyers or
leaflets to get 10% responses of these clients.

Advertising? These 10 are considered qualified prospects,

ready to deal with you. These buyers were
qualified in your needs analysis before the
client signs up the deal or buys the product.

Starting a business is easy for some and
difficult for others. But making it successful
is very cumbersome and complicated if you
do not know how. That’s Why You Need
Us!
GROWING YOUR BUSINESS.
A. How Do You Explain Advertising?
An advertisement (also known as an
advert or ad) is the promotion of a
product, brand, or service to a target
audience in order to generate interest,
engagement, and sales. Adverts come in
a different form, ranging from text to
interactive apps, and have evolved to
become an important feature of the video
marketplace.
B. What Are The 4 Types of
Advertising?
Display Adverts
Advertising on mobile devices.
Native advertising is a type of
advertising that is unique too.
C. What Are the Five Types of
Advertising?
ADVERTISING TYPES:
Newspaper advertising can expose your
company to a wide range of customers.
Advertising in a specialized magazine
allows you to reach your target audience
quickly and easily, Radio, Television,
Directories, Outdoor and public
transportation.
Online web ads, direct mail-order,
catalogues, and leaflets.
D. What Is the Main Purpose of
Advertising?
Advertising has three main purposes: to
inform, persuade, and remind.
Informative advertising raises brand,
product, service, and idea awareness. It
publicizes new products and programs
and can educate people on the features
and benefits of new and established
products.

Activate Your Prospecting Plan.

HOW TO USE ADVERTISING
AS A PROSPECTING TOOL.
There’s a marketing principle that we utilize
to increase prospects using different types of
advertising mechanisms like the example
“C” above.
This principle is very easy to understand.
The purpose of the approach is to target a
specific area of your market to increase your
prospects. Prospects are potential buyers
who are ready to buy your products or
services.
It Works Like This:
If you talk to ten (10) people a day you’ll get
at least (1) qualified potential sale. This
means that the sale you make had just, about
one person willing to buy. It also depends on
what you’re selling.
people a day, you’ll sell one product. Why?
The answer is logical, that a customer was
about ready to buy your service. Other
customers have different priorities and are
not ready to buy what you sell.
Let’s assume that, you choose to use
Leaflets or Flyers to kick-start your
prospecting program. This is how you
should do it. The response from prospecting
is estimated to be about 10% of people you
speak to who’re willing and, are ready to
buy.
• So, if you want to sell 2 products a day,
i.e., selling insurance. You’ll need to
speak to about 20 people to get (2)
sales. Two is 10% of 20.
• Basically, selling is a numbers game.
But marketing is a way to crunch these
numbers in order to increase your
prospects. How?
NOW GET STARTED WITH OUR
SUPPORT TO REACH MORE CLIENTS.
Our advertising program is very unique in that
we distribute our magazine and newspaper to
over 5,000 readers. We do this door-to-door.
In fact, by distribution 5,000 professional
colour flyers we anticipate your product to get
exposure to at least 10% responses from these
targeted campaigns.
What is 10% of 5,000? It will be 500 potential
prospects. Therefore, from these 500 you must
qualify clients who are ready to buy.
Assuming at between 5% and 10%. This
means you’ll sell an average of between 25
and 50 customers every time or month you
launch each promotion. This is why you need
to talk to us. Get more info about this – Click

BUSINESS TRENDS
By: Isaac Khonjelwayo
Importance of Advertising Your Business
On a Monthly Basis To Generate Constant
Sales.
Advertising is a very important component of
any business, big or small. First of all, think
of advertising like the "the Petrol" of your
business. - If you want to travel long-
distances, you must fill-up the tank to go an
extra mile. Every time the petrol gauge goes
empty you must fill-up.
The same is true with any business. To go an
extra mile, you need to place advertisements
of your business in different medias. These
platforms can be "Offline-or-Online".
From a newspaper to a flyer, to a business
card, banner advert, website ads, social media
etc. This way you reach out to potential
customers about your business existence in
the market place. Announce you're in
business. (This is what advertising does).

victims of the "Poor State of ANC
Leadership Maladjustment” and corruption.
Whereas, the looting of July 2021, violence
and thuggery by residents around S.A. was
a deep flow in the capacity of ANC to

Well, my take on this question is that, there is
no short-cut to success. It takes a little while to
grow mielies after planting the seeds. It grows
when you nourish and water it with love daily.
The same is true with business. Packages 1 &
3 are my best recommendations.
At about 05:45 a.m. this guy was already up
and about in the winter cold of Soweto.
Kliptown Freedom Square grounds, was
very cold and the ques were long. I liked his
attitude. Like any respectable citizen who
avoids criminal activity of stealing cables.
He showed courtesy and took me to the
drivers’ eye testing clinic nearby & came
back to que on my behalf. He rocks.
Dumisani has inspired the Macina’s Credo.
He was patient enough to wait for me
