JHB South Water Gathering

*Att; Residents of Linmeyer, South Hills, Townsview, The Hill, Regents Park, Thulisa Park and all other areas affected by no water supply*

There will be a demonstration outside Rand Water entrances at 13:30 to demand answers from the execs regarding the lack of water supply that we are currently, and have been experiencing for 5 DAYS!!!!

It is unacceptable, inhumane and unfathomable that we are being subjected to this on a consistent basis.

We all NEED to go. Insufficient numbers achieves nothing. Any in need of transport, please reach out on the LAG social or Services groups or contact the control room.

Bring signs! Let’s them know how you feel! We have had enough!

Please park in front of the entrance/exit gates.

Time:13:30
Place: 522 Impala Road, Kibler park, just of Kliprovier drive*

Concerned residents of JHB South

Please share to all affected areas.

Silver ball Gathering Today

Good day Residents,

Please note that there will be protest action at the silver ball on South Rand Road from 16:45 today.

These protests are due to the ongoing water outage that our area and neighbours are experiencing.

The road is expected to be blocked, so if you travel on it please use an alternative route.

LAG has asked the councillor to ensure that the JW and RW respective representatives are present to account for this water outage.

Cllr Michael Crichton will be there standing in solidarity with the residents.

Thanks
LAG

JHB Power Crisis

Good day Residents,

Today we were met with the devastating news that City Power has terminated all contractors as of last night.

This will result in the severe worsening of their already poor service and response.

LAG will do all that we can to assist and strongly implore all those without power to reach out onto the Linmeyer LAG groups to ask fellow residents for assistance.

Residents who are fortunate enough to not be subjected to powerless homes, please in the spirit of good neighbourliness and community that we holds our suburb together offer any assistance to fellow residents who may be in need.

We are on our own until the Mayor and City Power can resolve this inhumane and devastating mess.

Please contact the control room should you require anything further.

We are working with our councillor to consider our options as well as to provide assistance to those in need.

FADT are engaged regarding the issues and relevant security implications and will do all that they can to mitigate them.

Thank you

Residents meeting Summary

Good morning Residents,

Thank you to all who attended the meeting last night. Detailed minutes will be sent out in the next few days.

In summary

- LAG no longer endorses National security and fire due to poor performance and the lack of support and back up to the suburb

- LAG has partnered with Fidelity ADT.
- Fidelity ADT will provide an improved service to what National was offering including:

- A dedicated vehicle to Linmeyer and auto dispatch for quicker response times

- WhatsApp groups monitoring

- Investment and installation of additional camera systems and LPR into Linmeyer

- Significant rebates to the community which will further improve the security of the suburb

- Flat rate of R355+vat per household.Free link up and free radio change

- Advice on how to cancel your current contract with National / any other service provider – only you as a customer can cancel your contract with current service provider

-Fidelity ADT will take over night shift guarding as of 1 May 2023

- Fidelity ADT will undertake stricter access control between the hours of 22:00-05:00.

-The contributions to LAG have SIGNIFICANTLY increased, but are not yet at the point where we can afford 24hr guarding again.
-Household signs for contributors will be ready soon.
-Windscreen LAG stickers will be ready soon

It is of the utmost importance that the linmeyer community all use the same service supplier (Fidelity ADT). Using different security companies will fragment the community and a security company can only invest into a community which fully supports them. We have to protect our suburb using one service provider who is held accountable for service levels to the community, and is sustainable.

Thanks to all who attended the positive meeting last night, we are very proud of our progress and now urge all residents to sign with Fidelity ADT as a matter of urgency.

Please message the control room to schedule an appointment with a Fidelity ADT representative. Fidelity ADT reps will also be calling on houses for your convenience.

Let’s Love Linmeyer

Residents Meeting

Thank you all residents who attended the meeting this evening.

For those unable to attend, there were 400-500 residents who attended and a productive and informative meeting took place.

Summary

- Road closure launch has been a massive success resulting in severely depleted crime statistics and 12,5% increases in property prices.

- LAG has incurred a debt of R367,000 to suppliers as a result of not collecting sufficient contributions.

-Road closure costs R75,675 per month.

- Contributions amount to R39,380 (123 contributors out of 685 households (18%))

- 82% of residents are not contributing.

- Deficit leads to debt growing every month.

- Our journey to further improving the suburb to become an estate is hindered by lack of available funds.

- LAG team made up of volunteers and is severely understaffed.

Lag is unable to sustain the road closure without a significant increase in donations ASAP.

Points taken

- National response time queries.

- Communciation to residents needs improvement.

- Road closure gates being opened early.

- Communicating to new residents.

- Taxi volume increase
- Drinking/bylaw infringements in the parks and green belts of the suburb.

For all National queries/complaints please contact Control room directly to log your complaint with National for investigation and following up.

Thank you to all invested residents who contribute, attend and assist in the improvement of our suburb.

Debit order form and bank details to follow this message for those seeking to sign up.

Contributions are needed ASAP to avoid the collapse of LAG and the road closure, undoing years of investment.

Full meeting summary to be sent by Friday.

Let’s Love Linmeyer

Wanted vehicle and suspects apprehended

We are happy to report that this morning, our LPR (License plate recognition) cameras at Johan Meyer recognised a vehicle wanted for serious crime passing through our suburb.

Our LPR cameras scan every license plate entering or exiting our suburb and checks them against the SAPS database of wanted vehicles.

The vehicle was reported to SAPS, and with the assistance of our Security provider was pulled over, resulting in the suspects getting arrested and the vehicle getting impounded pending investigation.

Thank you too,
