Good morning Ward 104
Getting reports of water starting to come in I will monitor the situation throughout the day but will be busy at an event as well so might be slow to respond
We have had a week of water outages, power outages, uncollected bins. Only you have the power to change the trajectory of Randburg for the next 5 years. If you are not yet registered as a voter we will be at 311 pine avenue today to help you get registered

Proudly South African Stories ๐ฟ๐ฆ
I didnโt realise just how much the luxury German brands have been losing sales to Asian brands until I read a @BusinessTechSA story, published yesterday:
โIn 2014, luxury brands such as Audi, BMW, Mini, and Mercedes-Benz collectively sold around 74,015 vehicles in South Africa.
As of the end of 2024, this number had dropped to 23,881. This translates to a 68% drop in sales.
โThe biggest loser was Mercedes-Benz, dropping 82% to 5,048 sold units in 2024 from 28,993.
โThis was followed by Audi (-70%) and then BMW and Mini (-50%).
โIn contrast, vehicles from Asia - such as Chery, Haval, and Suzuki - have seen massive growth over the same period.
โIn 2014, these three car brands collectively sold 8,127 vehicles.
โThis increased by a whopping 1,000% to 89,416 in 2024.โ
Eliminating remote work is not efficient or productive.
Many professions, such as accounting, engineering, CAD, drafting, etc. are ideally suited for remote work.
- It eliminates time wasted on commuting, allowing for a better work-life balance.
- Reducing travel saves money & conserves energy by cutting down on gas usage.
- This shift lessens the need for expensive infrastructure developments.
- By minimizing commuting, we alleviate gridlock & enhance the air quality for everyone.
- Working from home significantly increases safety by lowering the chance of accidents.
-Working from home lowers the spread of disease & allows workers to keep working when mildly sick.
- Additionally, many roles in these fields attract introverts, who thrive in solitary environments and are often more productive when working alone.
In her own words: She took a bank loan and needs to pay before the travel ban imposed can be lifted. She lost her job before she could pay it off. That's the help she needs. Consular assistance offered by embassies is non financial. This is a standard consular policy of all governments.
