\"\"<\/a>The Sweet Service Award<\/b> goes to De Vleispaleis in Stellenbosch, and its owner Stuart Bailey, for creating a Byt Ready Meals food delivery service in Stellenbosch for his staff, to assist them in getting income in the time in which the restaurant is closed in accordance with Level 4 Lockdown regulations. \u00a0Given that the President is likely to extend Level 4 on Sunday, by a possible further two weeks, and that the Government has promised to provide TERS\/UIF support but that such payment could be slow in coming, Stuart encouraged his staff to form a collective to offer basic home-cooked meals such as\u00a0macaroni and cheese, lasagne, cottage pie, and chicken a la king for delivery, gave them the left-over fresh produce of the restaurant, offered them packaging material as well as the services of his design team, while he has closed De Vleispaleis until the Level 4 Lockdown is lifted.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Sour Service Award<\/b> goes to EbbTide 201 apartment owner Sacha Jack and her inconsiderate renters, I having had to call the Camps Bay CSI security services three times in the past week due to early morning noise disturbance, her renters coming and going via the noisy lift at all hours of the night, even during Curfew, and blocking my car in our garage when a Nigerian renter held a birthday party in the apartment with 20 guests, contrary to the current Level 4 Lockdown regulations! Our Managiing Agents Sandak-Lewin are taking no action against the apartment owner!<\/p>\n
