On Sunday I took a drive along the Swartkops River to see what misery the bountiful rain may have wrought and I am sorry to say that all the usual suspects were hit once again – The rowing sheds and Redhouse Yacht Club, Sumcay, Groendaal, Missionvale, Soweto on Sea.
Have you been through Missionvale recently? The number of ‘new’ shacks is astounding, it looks like the cemetry has been abandoned and it certainly makes one wonder how the city can cope with this burgeoning poor population – very sad!

Looks like the UDDI Regional Skills Pool Centre will have to add swimming to the skills they offer!
