Ronnie Rhodes Masters research

by | Nov 18, 2019 |

The son of one of our Directors of the Golden Age Village and Memorial Flats is busy with a Masters Degree and needs to obtain comments on a questionnaire on Project Management techniques in small enterprises and start-up businesses. Please assist him by doing the survey – it will only take a few minutes

I am Ronnie Rhodes, I am currently completing my Masters dissertation; I would really appreciate a very short amount of your time in order to assist me in gathering research data. I am studying the use, or lack thereof, of project management techniques during the start-up phase of companies. The link that follows directs you to a short questionnaire, in the form of a Google Form, which should only take a minute or two to complete. This is completely voluntary and anonymous; zero personal data will be captured.

Lastly, if it is not too much trouble, please forward this link to any associate who may have been involved in the start-up of a company.

ESKOM Public Notice re Interruption of Bulk Electricity Supply to Randwest Municipality

by | Oct 30, 2019 |

You are probably aware of the Notice sent to Residents/Business clients in Randwest Municipal Area – we attach a copy of the notice for ease of reference. We also append a press release from the office of the Executive Mayor saying that “…that every possible action will be taken to avert the electricity outage…”

An amount of R 235 million is currently due to ESKOM by Randwest Municipality and they clearly do not have the current cash resources to pay ESKOM the full amount.

ESKOM will interrupt supply for 6 hours per weekday for the first week from 27 November and 14 hours per weekday from 4 December until the breach is remedied by the Municipality.

This is obviously an untenable situation especially for business and residential customers who have paid and continue to pay their monthly municipal bills.

The West Rand Chamber delivered a letter to the Executive Mayor, MMC for Finance and Municipal Manager today demanding an urgent meeting with the Executive Mayor in order to apply pressure on the municipality to get their house in order and to reach a settlement with ESKOM.

The Chamber will also make representations to ESKOM to find a solution to the problem of Business paying for their services but being “punished” by ESKOM for the failures of the Municipality.

We will provide feedback to our members after the meeting tomorrow with the Executive Mayor.
