Plumstead

Studio and in an actual garden. It's an extension of our gardening segment into the real life space. And this month we're going to be visiting the Gabriel Road Food Garden, established by Plumstead residents a couple of years ago after they got sick and tired of seeing a vacant plot go to rack and ruin. It was becoming a problem area in the neighborhood, an ISI site, a dumping ground for rubbish, a place where drug use was happening. Residents got together and said, let's change this picture. We'll start a food garden.

Also, forced to travel. I jop y job. It's you have a business, you have a job. It's on the other side of the city. You make your calculations. Leicester, I worked three years from Plumstead to Paul. I finished working there in July 2026. I filled up once a week. I serviced my car three times a year due to mileage. I did about 850 kilometers or more every week. I replaced

To town. Depends what you drive. Depends what you drive. I drive a little Yahus, so that's light on fuel Aslam spends 160 kilometers a day in a round trip. We're from Plumstead to Paul. 2,000 Rand a week petrol budget. Are you nuts? 021 4460567. It's 17 minutes to 8 o'clock. Cape Talk. Cape Talk. A world view from London.

One way. Loads of people do this commute daily. Earlier, we spoke to Peter John, who is about 140 kilometers in a round trip from Krabo to the CBD to Pardon Island. Aslam, what's your commute? Hi morning, Lester. I travel every day, six days a week, Plumstead to Paul. That's 160k. 160k is returned.

Janet, we're so grateful to you for joining us on air today. Welcome to the show. Hi, hi, Wendy. Thanks so much. So, Janet, this is Pippa. I understand you bought your white I-20 from Hyundai Plumstead and took delivery back in June 2016. And it was a 2014 model, is that correct? Correct. So, how soon did you first notice the paint start lifting or blistering? I'm sorry to say I don't remember the exact date of the first time it started blistering around the back windscreen.

To Consumer Talk, that this month's Common Ground event is coming up next week. For those who've missed it, these monthly events extend our gardening segment off-air and into real life. They offer Cape Talk listeners a chance to interact with some of our gardening guests and to tap into their expertise one-on-one. This month, we are going to be visiting the Gabriel Road Food Garden, which was established by Plumstead residents who were sick and tired of seeing a local vacant lot being used as a dumping ground.

And they have turned it into the most extraordinary, thriving community food garden with a weekly market that brings the community together as well. It's a wonderful story of what is possible when people pull together. And it's your turn to experience it for yourself because next Thursday, the 15th of October at 10 a.m., we'll be taking a group of listeners on a guided tour of the garden. It's in Gabriel Road in Plumstead. You'll get to ask questions about what they are growing, how they manage irrigation, fertilization.

Last month, September was Heritage Month, so we were exploring the company's garden. This month, we are taking you to a spot we actually featured in our gardening segment a month or two ago: the Plumstead Food Garden, run by the Gabriel Road Area People's Association. If you were listening at the end of July, you would have heard us talking to their garden manager who explained how the community had come together and turned what was an absolute local eyesaw, a dumping ground, a site that attracted drug use and dumping of rubbish.

For that little bit of history, it puts into context how palliative care and primary care, primary health care, can benefit from somebody that understands it as astutely as Dr. Malumba. Good morning, Clarence, on the topic of medical care issues. I waited five hours at the Lady Michaelis Day Hospital in Plumstead yesterday, and that is just heartbreaking. It's the story of so very many complaints.
