Devastating News ..... sad! SAD

About a year ago, I got a call from a lovely girl by the name of Naomi. She and her lovely husband Jacques came out to visit De Wijnlanden and fell in love with it. All I remember was Naomi telling me about her two cat children who would love to go exploring in the open fields of our Estate. The very next day I was invited to their 3rd floor apartment in the trendiest area of the Tygervalley to sign the offer, they were bringing Google and Vesper to live in our surroundings. They purchased the Hilton Greenes house and have lived here very happily since the beginning of December 2010.

Today a very sad, upset and shocked Naomi and Jacques told me that her gorgeous kitty Google had been mauled and killed by someones free running dog. Like Naomi and Jacques, I am devastated to hear this sad story. We live in this beautiful place with cats, dogs, kids, mice and birds. Our pets do wander off and about at times, but surely a dog that does not like cats, should not be allowed to leave his home unattended without supervision.

Please De Wijnlandeners, have some sense of responsibility. We all live happily in these magnificent surroundings, please don't let this happen ever again. If your dog does not like cats, rabbits, ducks etc, please keep them on their leads and certainly dont allow them out of your property unattended. This is a just too hurtful an experience for anyone else to have to bare.

Jacques and Naomi, Sorry this has happened. Your pain is mine... lots of love my friends.

House under Siege...

Today, Mike Israel, who lives in the beautiful big house on the bend opposite the dam and ampitheatre in De Wijnlanden, had his garden "broken into" by two white quacker ducks, who messed on his patio,played and pecked around the garden and then swam in his pool, and they were so happy that they left him with an egg as proof!

Isn't it just magic living in De Wijnlanden??

Snow on the Mountains

So today snow capped the mountains around the Helderberg, Franschoek and the Cedarberg AND Table Mountain. Wow, aren't we blessed! What a pretty sight!

Roadblocks - Know Your Rights!

The traffic/metro police are doing random roadblock checks. They will also feed your registration into a computer that will show up if you have any outstanding fines.

Know your rights.

They can only arrest you if:
1. They have the original warrant for your arrest there with them. A copy isn't good enough, saying it's at the station isn't good enough either. They have to show it to you there and then (if they have it, check plan "b").

2. They have to prove that you received the summons in person. It either had to be delivered to you in person or you had to collect a registered letter from the post office (if they cannot prove you personally received the relevant summons, the warrant of arrest is not legal either).

3. If you do get stopped and they want to arrest you, demand to see the warrant and proof you received the summons (i.e. your own signature on the document when delivered to you).

4. If they don't have it, the arrest is illegal. Refuse to go. If they still arrest you inform them there and then you will press charges against them for illegal arrest (record everything that is said to you, as well as the
chronological procedure of events in detail). These details may well stand you in good stead for a strong case.

5. Technically, if your arrest is illegal, the taking possession of your car by the police and its driving thereof while you are in custody may also constitute theft.

6. When you are released, go to the SAPS immediately and lay a charge against the arresting law body and relevant official.
