It’s official!! On 25 June 2008 residents of Marina da Gama will face the Executive Committee of the Marina da Gama Association around the table at the South African Human Rights Commission, despite ExCom trying their level best to get out from under the meeting. At first, the letter got “lost in the mail” and the meeting scheduled for the Then, in a 7 page letter addressed to the SAHRC, ExCom explained their stance, ending it by saying: “we hope however that this letter has satisfactorily explained the background to and reasons for the Associations’ approach - and therefore that the hearing need not be held.”
I guess it is clear: They don’t want to talk to us, but Mr. Harrison - We have a lot to say to you.

Good Luck and please do your best for us, Anita.
May the forces be with you.
And a wonderful trip you will have.
I attended today’s mediation session and wish to thank everybody who attended - especially the SAHRC representatives who afforded us this opportunity when there are so very many other pressing issues at this time. A bouquet, too, to the MDGA representatives, Peter Harrison, Peter Joubert and Bob Craske for making the effort - and pointing out that we were lucky to be graced with their presence. We couldn’t agree more. I appreciate that it is not often that the MDGA Excom find themselves in a forum where they are not only asked questions but are also expected to answer them - truthfully. As for what transpired at the hearing I don’t dare draw conclusions, but Forrest Gump’s “life is like a box of chocolates…full of surprises” springs to mind as a most fitting summation of events.
Thank you again to everyone who participated.
