Malvern

She's a domestic worker in Melville and she went to Campus Square in Auckland Park to do some background, some excuse me, banking and shopping. One of the stores she went into was Pep Home. At the entrance, she was asked to leave her backpack. She had a small handbag and a backpack and shopping from another store at the parcel counter. So she took out her wallet, her bank card, and a little bit of cash for her purchases, and she handed the backpack over.

Funded mainly by UCT and some businesses. For further confusion, Alma Road, Rosebank, south side of the road, comes under Rondebash Saps and the north side under Mowbray Saps. And Pippa is a near neighbour. She never. Okay, right. Why? Because the dividing line is Daviliers, houses on the northern side. Okay, so there's a kind of separation that does make that kind of

They do not have a strong civic association joined at the hip for decades. They do not have one, okay? But in two different worlds, two separate councillors, the Joint Civic Association, RMCA, seems to have fallen by the wayside. And one part of Rosebank and one part of Mowbray belong to LMRID, to which residents pay extra rates via cocked account. Another part of Rosebank and Mowbray have a different

Definitely at the time, a highlight for my baby daughter Sydney. Yeah, great memories. All the best, Iman. Morning, morning, Clement. You have a powerhouse in Stujo. One fascinating thing about Iman is how she's able to make a switch, you know, with the breakfast news, you know, something serious, and oh, you should meet her on the weekend. I remember those years when I used to meet her at Melville, you know.

In Melville, when Poppies were still all the rage in Melville, and there was a function going on, and myself and my family, and my 13-year-old daughter, 15-year-old daughter at the time, spotted Iman and she came up to me and she said, Daddy, I seen that woman on TV, she's fabulous. And I took her to meet Iman and introduced her, and I tell you, that was.

Hijacked buildings in the Johannesburg CBD, and we'll tell you more as that case gets underway probably in the next hour or so. That and a ton others, Clarence. We're busy, team evaluation. Just how do you manage your passwords? How do you remember your passwords? Because I have a problem and maybe you can teach me a means. My trick is the thing that everyone who talks about cyber safety tells you not to do, Clarence.

Municipal Financial Accountability and Audit Readiness Pledge Signing Ceremony, which took place in Brixton here in Joburg on Tuesday, where the Houten Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Department, as long along with the Gauteng Provincial Treasury, Municipalities and AGSA, launched the provincial interim financial statement protocol. Let's speak to governance expert Dr. Harlan Cluty, who has us on the line. Dr. Cluty.

Is receiving medical attention with no arrests or ransom payment confirmed. In your weather, a fine start to the day, later becoming sunny across Haudeng. Temperatures in Joburg are set to peak at 26 degrees, 29 in Tsuane, 26 in Ekurlene, 28 in Merafong, and 28 degrees in Sidibeng. Here's Mpoma Boy with your sports. In your sports, Senegal's appeal over their Ofcon title will be heard today. The Formula One title fight heads into the shadows of the Marina Bay this week.

Fab News. I am Ed Busa. It's a very good morning to you in your SFM sports headlines. Soccer Monopoly Saleng is back in the Sundown squad for the MTN8 final against his old club, Orlando Pirates. And in cricket, a Joburg schoolboy, Jason Rowls, has landed a 2.9 million rand deal with the Joburg Super Kings at the SA20 auction. All this and more at around half past six.

I was a young Joebug joller. I was thinking about what club am I going to go to tonight in Hillbrow and girlfriends and stuff. And here were these people my age, and they were prepared to die. And for the first time, it dawned on me I'm living in a society that I know virtually nothing about. Sure. I mean, you probably in those days either would have had to phone in your copy or go.

For donations or money, but the ones that start harassing you or retaliating. Now, disclaimer: there is an update to the story, which Sam Wright will join us and share what the update is. But I wanted to bring this conversation through because these things have happened. These things have happened. Many, many years ago, I found myself in Rosebank. A man was begging on the side of the road. I had my scuff teeth.

You know, and but shout out to people who really believed in my art, you know, that's a sign. And it's such a blessing and a milestone that I get to go out there. Yeah. And speaking of the open mics, someone who's been very vocal about just advocating for open mics in South Africa and bringing those back is Msaki, who's going to be part of the tour as well in Cape Town. Also, shout outs to Wanda Limbambeni in Joburg as well. It feels like a full circle moment. How do you feel connecting with people?

The meeting point on SAFM. I've got Oman Vui, Parktown North. How are you? It's been a minute. I am good, thanks. I actually want to talk about two things. One was the crime conversation that you covered, and the one is the one with the Uput said. The one with the crime is not a South African.

At an orphanage in South Hills, Johannesburg. And my plea to the 702 listeners, the children at the home, they need a TV and then I was thinking of building them like a bookshelf where they can sit and read books in our

Build worlds because with animation and gaming, you're building worlds. With immersive reality, you are building worlds. You've been doing the festival for a number of years now. Obviously, you want to build on what worked, but you can't have 2026 be exactly the same as 25, especially when the medium you're working in or the framework you're working in is itself so fast-moving. What have you changed for this year that wasn't there before? So, historically, the festival was in Brownfonteen and then it.

News story. So we'll welcome a sponsor so that we can do a second season of The Hope Dealers. But for this last episode, I've visited Makers Valley. And if you haven't heard of Makers Valley, maybe you've heard of Victoria Yards. And Makers Valley is the creative heartbeat of Joberg. It stretches across the eastern inner city. So it spans neighborhoods like Lawrenceville and Troyville and Bertrams. And it's a dynamic grassroots movement. It's a creative ecosystem where social enterprise.

Really have an appetite for good news stories. So we welcome a sponsor so that we can do a second season of The Hope Dealers. But for this last episode, I've visited Makers Valley. And if you haven't heard of Makers Valley, maybe you've heard of Victoria Yards. And Makers Valley is the creative heartbeat of Joberg. It stretches across the eastern inner city. So it spans neighborhoods like Lawrenceville and Troyville and Bertrams. And it's a dynamic grassroots movie.

First, on the issue of the GBV, very important talk. I just wanted to say about two years ago, my car was broken into. I went to the police station to go report it, specifically Day Bellevue Police Station. And sitting there in the GBV desk was a lady reporting something to the police officer. The police station was dead quiet, so everybody could hear a conversation. And it just struck me that why is the GBV desk in

Right now, and we're starting with your calls, Load in Alberton. First to the post, as he often is in the morning. Good morning to you, Load. Hi. Good morning, JJ. Hi there. What's on your mind, Load? Thanks, my friend. You know, South Africa has got some redundant pieces of legislation, such as the Consumer Health Protection Act 68 of 2008. Why am I saying this, Joanne? One of its core objectives.

21 degrees in Joburg. Good morning. I'm Timbek Ilem Kototo. The Randberg Magistrates Court will hear more discussions today around the recordings of suspended Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya when his bail hearing resumes. The 59-year-old is accused of sexually grooming a 16-year-old girl and raping an 18-year-old. The investigating officer presented a range of evidence that the state hopes will convince the court that Shadrack Sibiya could interfere with the investigation or witnesses if released from custody. The evidence included.

They found it and then no one claimed it. They didn't hand it in. I'm covering us for 10 a.m. I just feel like if it happens in our workspace, it's happening in your workspace as well. Lee, you're in Alberton. Good morning, sir. Good morning, team. How are you doing? We are great, Lee. Lee, we need some adult supervision here, and you sound like you are the adult. Look, I'm not actually.

1996, and it needs to satisfy the society that it serves. And if you feel that there are aspects of the law that do not satisfy you as a South African, nothing stops you from agitating your political representative in parliament to start addressing that. Okay, I didn't say Mr. Malays. Tabero, thank you very much indeed. Samuel, you've called in from Edenvale on asylum seekers. Good morning. Good morning. How are you? I'm good. I'm very well. Thank you.

Since we adopted the constitution in 1996, and it needs to satisfy the society that it serves. And if you feel that there are aspects of the law that do not satisfy you as a South African, nothing stops you from agitating your political representative in parliament to start addressing that. Okay, then fellowship, Mr. Malays. Tabero, thank you very much indeed. Samuel, you've called in from Eden Vale on asylum seekers. Good morning. Good morning.

You have to vote where you are registered, and the ward, you have to vote where you're registered so you choose the right people choose the ward councillor. You can't have a ward councillor chosen by 5,000 prisoners. Or if I'm living in Joburg, I can't pick the ward councillor in Bloemfontein. Pretty much. So the prison thing is an anomaly, and yes, they can't vote, but pretty much anyone else on the voters' roll.

702 serving the 702 family in 702 land, including those of you living in Melville. Copies goes back 3 billion years. Stone Age tools have been found on the copies and several iron smelting furnaces dating back to the Iron Age have been excavated and preserved in the Melville Copies Nature Reserve.

That you've put your child in. That's always for me. The order I go in is children need to be safe at school, then they need to be happy. And the third thing that will happen is they will learn. How do we get in touch with you, Abigail, at Redham House Bedford View? How do we get in touch with you? Thank you. How do we get in touch with you? Is there perhaps a contact detail that we can use to get in touch with you? Yes, absolutely. My email address is up on the

You're investing in your child's future, and I think that is critical. Una 1883-0702, my guest is Abigail Smulders, head of the Early Learning Junior Preparatory School at Redham House, Bedford View. Give us a call. What are your questions? What are your thoughts about what we're talking about? I'm in absolute agreement with you, by the way, Abigail, that we need to find different ways of allowing our children to learn and perhaps teach.

P.M. to 3 a.m. You can continue listening to 702 on 92.7 Prime Media Plus or on DSTV channel 856. Already available. Biguel Smilders is my guest, head of the Early Learning Junior Preparatory School at Redham House in Bedford View. Biguel, thank you so much for joining us. I really appreciate your time. We're talking about creativity.

Bedford View to explore what children are really telling us through their creativity and why we need to pay closer attention. It's 16 minutes after 10. In the last 24 hours, this is what's happened in your world. There's certainly no shortage of motorists this morning, but behind the fueling and the full tanks, there's a lot of frustration. Motorists say they've become used to the constant rises in the price of fuel, but that doesn't make them any easier to absorb. For many,

Feature. Abigail Smilders, head of the Early Learning and Junior Preparatory School at Redham House, Bedford View, joins us. We're talking about the creativity of children. Now, before children can always tell us what they are thinking, they often show us through drawing, dancing, a clay sculpture, or imagery, imaginary games. Children are constantly communicating, experimenting, and making sense of the world around them. But in an education system that can sometimes

That's okay then. It's these things that are happening like now that irritates me. Oh, the light. I like. What is Ben? What's Ben saying? Ben says the lights are on M1. It might be for you. Ben says the lights are on the M1. I drive through Melville. The lights are out from the cemetery. Yeah. Bottom of the cemetery, bottom of the hill, all the way through Melville. Bayers Nordir doesn't work. And most of the traffic lights on Bays Nordir were working. So there were only two or three that weren't working. No.

The Daily Maverick, we asked a city of Johannesburg spokesperson to maybe just give us his sense of what they believe is happening around the city of Johannesburg's Kensington and Malvern area. The City of Johannesburg spokesperson, Tatisi Modingwana, thank you so much for making time for us. Good evening and welcome. Thank you very much for the opportunity to make. Let me say quickly to the next level. What do you know about what is actually happening around Kensington, Malvern area?

It's just gone five minutes after six o'clock. A very good evening and a warm welcome to it. You're listening to Kaya Biz here on Kaya 959 with myself, Kukuletu Mufupi. What a busy day. So many of you might be familiar with Kaya House. We are here in Rosebank on 195 Jansmut Avenue, and right across the road from us is a filling station. Earlier on today, and even looking right across the window from me, I do see the queues. Cars have been piling up to fill up their tanks. And as

Then tomorrow, temperatures in Joburg are set to peak at highs of 26 degrees, 29 in Suane, 25 in Ekurhuleni, 26 in Mirafong, and 25 degrees in Sidibang. If you missed it, with just hours left for motorists to fill up before the fuel price hike takes effect at midnight, Kosatu is urging government to provide urgent relief. This is the latest dispatch just received in our newsgroup. Rooted in the truth.

What do you do differently? It's obviously caught people's eye and earned you the votes. Oh, I think, you know, we're 26 years old. Okay. So I think having a challenge, isn't it? 100%. Keeping it fresh. Keeping it fresh, but we've got such a great base of clientele. So we've got a wonderful market during the week of corporates. And then obviously on the weekends, come into your family. We're in such a great encounter area with the schools. So whenever there's water polo or rugby happening at St. John's or Parktown Ball.

We are currently located. We are located in Bruma, 39 Ernest Oppenheimer Avenue. So it's around Johannesburg, just near Bedford View. Yeah. But it's like opposite Eastgate and McDonald's, right above that area. All right. What difference do you think this makes being recognized like this as Houting's greatest kids' party place? It's great. I think the coffee shop owner or person here did mention that sometimes you don't even pay attention to all these nominations and whatever the case is. We just focus.

And I love jewelry. So I collected jewelry and started selling on a Sunday at the market in 94 when it opened. Goodness me. I mean, you can get almost anything at the Rosebank market. Just give us a sense of the variety that's on offer in terms of what the traders sell there. So, first of all, we have a lot of handmade arts and crafts, a lot of really exciting entrepreneurs who are trying to make money. We have food, we have deli, we do have a lot of African

Exciting news. I mean, this is one of those that is sort of a landmark, certainly a feature of Johannesburg. How long has the Rosebank Sunday market been open now? The Sunday market was started in 2013, but the original Rosebank market was opened in 1994. Oh, my goodness, it's an institution, isn't it? It is an institution. Now, you started there as a trader. That's right. I'm a social worker. I had a private therapy practice.

We're pleased to tell you who the winners are and in the category: greatest food and craft markets. KG, drum roll, please. It's the Rosebank Sunday market. And the CEO of the Rosebank Sunday Market, Dana Duran, is with us this morning. Dana, congratulations! Thank you so much. This is really cool.

To secure the victims' release. In your weather, a fine start to the day across Gauteng. Temperatures in Joburg are set to peak at 21 degrees, 23 in Suane, 21 in Agurulene, 21 in Merafong, and 22 degrees in Sidibang. Here's Mpoma Boy with your sports. In your sport, Abduslam Wadu says Pirates is ready to defend their title against sundowns in the MTN 8 final on Saturday. Novak Djokovic threw to the China Open final after Medvedev was defaulted and Formula One in.

Neglected properties and concerns that some are hijacked. The operation took place earlier today and targeted buildings in areas including Marshalltown, Berea, Jebbystown, Yeovil, Hillbrow, and the inner city, forming part of a wider City Power campaign targeting 108 buildings it has identified as problematic across Johannesburg. City Power spokesperson Isaac Mangena says the intervention is about recovering debt and

where was it? I saw it in two places and I heard what happened at Melrose when they saw that the current president was losing and Kosozano was winning. They went and grouped there in less than two hours.

To love the show. Thank you very much for that voice. Now do we get to your calls, Ma'am Wuisa and Parktown North? Good evening. Good evening, Coqueto. Thanks for taking my call. You know what? I want to comment on this NC Field Balula and Dr. Ngosazanos because it happened. I saw it with my own eyes in 2017. What did you see, Momui? I mean, we

Of Johannesburg, Hillborough, Berea, Yeovil, where you would know the irony, where the square meter price of what people are paying per square meter is more than here in Santon because people are given toilets to sleep in and people are taking rent from families who are desperate. Somebody knows what's going on. Absolutely. And

Real kind of imagination of development where hey, this is Chobek, this is Eku Rulen. But what is the conversation between the mayor of Ecuador and the mayor of Chobek? I mean, you can't even take Togozani from Malvern with a metro bus to Ottambuk because jurisdiction does not allow you. So there's much more that we need to talk about. And I think we need to think about these corridors that are boundaries and borders of different municipalities. I mean, maybe let me ask you, Togozani, what would you like to see happen immediately from a mayor, for instance?

Campaign, a beyond the pothole campaign. Because once you go beyond the pothole in Malvern, it's more than a pothole that you have to resolve. It's easy to scare people with, oh, you'll continue to have potholes after elections. If you don't elect me as mayor, your streetlight will not work. I mean, I'm sure people in Wazani's community are worried about more significant things than just potholes. In some instances, the roads are no longer there. The roads have collapsed and it's strips of, you know, tar and gravel and so on. And people

One, that's Naledi Mashishi, who's a journalist at Daily Maverick, following up on the story of residents in Kensington, around Kensington area, Malvern area, complaining about abandoned buildings and hijacked buildings. And we will also follow up on this when we speak to the city of Johannesburg. What exactly their plan is. They speak of multidisciplinary departments trying to help them in curbing whatever is happening there. But I'm not sure that we're getting that kind of response from.

Hannesburg mayoral candidate Lukona Mguni. That's going to be our guest this evening. We'll also be speaking to Elijah Mlanger, who is a hoting government spokesperson. They've got a plan for GBV. I'm sure you want to hear all about that. A plan presented by the Premier a couple of days ago over the weekend, in fact. And so we'll take a deep dive into all of that. If you are a resident in Malvern, Kensington area, please let me know how serious is the issue.

Accompanied by light and variable wind temperatures, starting at a low of 17, reaching a maximum of 24. The top story in EWN this hour, City Power has isolated its central substation after an electrical fault triggered smoke in the feeder boardroom during an attempt to restore supply this afternoon. Parts of the Johannesburg CBD remain without supply. EWN, in touch, in tune, and independent.
