Same shit different asshole! “Janaman”, the self proclaimed estate manager was as blind as a bat, without a backbone as he failed dismally on improving basic standards and refused to respond to valid complaints or suggestions on area improvements. Is the new standards boytjie related to Julius? Are you all ass and mouth, are you going to run […]

I quote ” The marina is a rather special place known for its natural beauty, waterside lifestyle and neatness of homes in the area.The Marina da Gama Association’s committee and in particular the standards Committee, have the unenviable  task of maintaining standards and reminding owners…. blah blah blah. Well I say to hell with the standards committee […]

Leon  has lost his powers as a “hunter of sick animals” the animals being residents that refused to pay subs. Will this bring a calm to the San Marina remains to be seen. Hopefully the new chairman/lady will be more diplomatic and open minded.
As for Leon, bring up apartheid theory’s, youre simply a crybaby, Deal with […]

In the past year, while many residents in the San Marina were being bullied, had their furniture confiscated by the sheriffs and blacklisted. The finances of the San Marina Recreation Club was being mismanaged. According to the recent audited financial statements of the SMRC, there was a healthy surplus of R71,026 at the end of […]

The following is a delightful little story told by our Chairman in his final Report (let’s hope) to the good people of the Marina Da Gama. (Names have been changed and some artistic licence protect the innocent.)
Pietie had two children, with vastly different personalities.
De La Rey was a pessimist and was never happy whatever his […]

The marina Association Chairman has being blowing his trumpet of utter Sh….t  again. Apparently the yellow bellyached spineless standards committee of which Jan Da Missing partakes in  have carried out comprehensive standards infringement details. Hundreds of letters have been sent out to these poor  souls instructing them to comply with Lord Harrisons commands especially in […]

8 of 10 EXCOM MEMBERS QUIT
Seeing as this is virtually the entire committee, I strongly suggest that BEFORE the 2008 AGM the outgoing Excom issues to its members:
- a detailed account of the association’s financial position and performance to date (seeing as the current budget wasn’t formally approved in a general meeting)
- a fully […]

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue till they have resisted with either words or blows, or with both.

…. or should that be:  “Much to do but nothing gets done”? Oudevlei Road intersection at San Marina has been given a makeover. This was the brain-child of our esteemed local councillor. Just like the service capacity of this road maintenance team below. It would seem that even the simplest of tasks would […]

Are you arrogant?
Are you hopelessly out out of touch with the mood that is sweeping this country?
Do you have the ability to monitor, keep meticulous records and process all financial matters like South Africa’s Department of Home Affairs?
Are you able to deny allegations contemptuously?
Standards manager’s skills can be compared to having one child […]

Don’t Be Fooled By:
False appeals for help.
“Accidents” such as having you car rammed from behind.
Someone trying to get help from a stationary car.
your electric gates being jammed.

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES REGARDING MY PROPERTY?
Ensure that anyone leaving your property can get into their car, start it, lock the doors and be fully prepared […]

I understand that, by Law, the Marina Da Gama Association has the right to comment on all building plans. The Executive Committee of the Association is however in the habit of dictating architects, charging large deposits, scrutinizing fees and inspection fees. In my opinion, these are unethical practices to which I am not prepared to […]

When one gets bad service from a restaurant you can just get up and leave. Unfortunately in the Marina da Gama we cannot simply walk away from sloppy mismanagement and Nazi-style Association leadership. To get away from this, we would have to sell our homes. It would seem as if the Marina Management is under […]

Now I don’t understand the attitude of Excom at all – they’ve actively sought to amend their Constitution so that they can interfere and meddle in anything and everything, they claim to be so pro our safety and security, yet here comes a really important issue and what do they do? Roll over and […]

I am gatvol of this bunch of prats telling me what they want to do with my house. Then they have the audacity to ignore all our objections and complaints. Who do they think they are? They had better be careful, they are messing with my home.

Personally, I like it - BUT IT DOES NOT CONFORM TO MARINA DA GAMA STANDARDS

Eastlake Shopping Centre
ExCom have informed us that the Architectural Committee of the Association have been in constant contact with the developers of the new Eastlake Shopping Centre about this blatant transgression of Marina Standards, however the new style remains. […]

POOP SCOOP BAGS
Dog owners may soon be forced to carry poop scoop bags and put identity collars on their pets - if a new animal by-law gets the nod from the City of Cape Town.
The city’s Safety and Security Portfolio Committee said this would be the first time that a City Council by-law would make […]

Applications for suburbs to be fenced off and or have access controlled by booms will be considered by the Cape Town Council. In a final draft policy on gated communities the City takes on a “cautious approach” on requests for restricted access to residential areas and new developments.
This would only be considered if […]

What! This person gets paid R37 393 according to the financial report. Please is there anybody out there who can give me an intelligent answer as to what his job entails and more to the point: what has been achieved by this individual. Value for money - the standards inspector and ward councillor […]
