Malvern

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

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

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?

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.

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.
