The Rabies Clinic run by the State Vet is up and running and needs to be used. They are quick and efficient. I took all my dogs to Pennington Tea Gardens where they were vaccinated in less than 20 minutes.

Thanks to Robert and Charles Vorster of Scottburgh High who painted the bollards at the entrance to Freeland Park. Also to learners, Teegan Angelique Gezane-Canham, Keziah-Lee Logan and Latoya Alexander who also gave up their time to paint. Although not finished yet, you’ve done an awesome job so far in converting our lumps of concrete into something more attractive. Once the project is complete, we will find a structured way to get feedback from residents without provoking a ‘feeding frenzy’ on the group. I would ask residents to reserve comment until then. Thanks again to Dhimil for the generous donation of the paint and to R&M Construction and Inyoni Homes for their assistance with the bollards.
