Sweet Service Award goes to Sandak Lewin; Sour Service Award goes to Clicks Sea Point!

 

The Sweet Service Award goes to Sandak Lewin, and its Portfolio Manager Vanessa Sillifant, for the fantastic service she is offering us as Trustees at EbbTide in Camps Bay. After two disastrous years of dealing with her predecessor Greg Anderson, who was inefficient, biased towards the other Trustees,  and grossly unprofessional, Vanessa was appointed to take over and has been a breath of fresh air.  She visited our building within three weeks of taking over our building, something Anderson had refused to do in his two years of dealing with our building! In the past three months she has efficiently assisted us in getting eleven maintenance projects done and dusted, and prevented an excessive R1 million Maintenance project from being implemented, which would have resulted in an exorbitant Special Levy! She is a no-nonsense person, fair, and decisive, and has created greater harmony amongst the four Trustees of our building in getting maintenance jobs done and decisions made, an amazing feat! The next project will be to tackle the Noise Disturbance issues…….! Continue reading →

Sweet Service Award goes to Dr Wim de Beer; Sour Service Award goes to Pick n Pay ASAP!

 

The Sweet Service Award goes to my Dentist Dr Wim de Beer, in the Waterfront, who assisted me at short notice when a dental implant cracked, and came loose. I was on my way to Gordon’s Bay, and he was leaving for a two week break before I returned to Cape Town. I had to delay my departure to Gordon’s Bay so that he could reinstall the implant. Best of all is that he didn’t charge me a cent for this emergency procedure. It was done so quickly that I got to Gordon’s Bay before it got dark, despite late afternoon traffic.  Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a wonderful day; for an amazingly fantabulous 2 hour breakfast at Grand Pavilion in Sea Point, with the great company of Mullerie Taljaard, whom I met at Zest on Tuesday for the first time; for a good walk to Zest from Grand Pavilion; for putting together a quick promotion for Zest with the beauty service providers in Piazza da Luz for Women’s Month; for a working afternoon, getting into bed early as the mist rolled in, it becoming very cold, after a fabulous sunny day; and for being healthy, happy, and free. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
