JT wrote: With the 2009 AGM rolling around, it is probably a good idea to air the latest rumour doing the rounds regarding the Marina Da Gama Association.

JT said: WHOOOOOAAAAA STOP THE LORRY!! I am so excited. Lordy, Leon, I owe you an apology of note. You’re right your title says you own the Club!! This could be huge. Bigger than huge.

There are residents in the San Marina area who heard a knock on their door one morning – it was the sheriff of the court with papers to attach their few household belongings.

Wathint’ Abafazi Wathint’ Imbokodo. You strike a woman, you strike a rock. It is clear that the male dominated ExCom has not taken this statement to heart and continue to ignore the fact that they have struck quite a few women in Marina Da Gama. Women who do not mind to stand up and be [...]

One would think that our local Councillor would try to do something about the state of our roads in this area. Seeing that he is in the ideal position to report the multitude of potholes in our roads, one would have thought he would at least report those he has to dodge on the way [...]
