Tweni Talk: Unlikely reunion provides some joy
Thanks to everyone who took part in getting them together again.
Some good news for a change. On the evening of March 25 a request came in from Frans Coetzer to be added to the Tweni Cares WhatsApp group.
His neighbour, Annelie Engelbrecht had lost her African grey parrot, Trompie, from Parklands in Rethman Drive.
Four days later, one day three of the Covid-19 lockdown, Warren Porter from Camp Drive asked on the group who was missing an African grey.

A very happy reunion took place between Trompie and a very relieved Annelie, and she duly showered him with kisses.
Thanks to everyone who took part in getting them together again.
As a resident, here’s my take on one of the issues that has arisen as a result of the Covid-19 situation.
Vagrants and people are still coming into Umtentweni and, I am sure, other areas to scavenge through the refuse bags.
Sassa grants will relieve the situation for a while but municipalities, welfare and social development need to hand out basic food parcels to informal settlements, those who have no way of earning any income.
People need to be assisted in their areas and not put themselves at risk by going out a searching for food.
