Good day All,
I visited Observatory Station today.
Not a single person at the Observatory Community Safety Office.
No SA Railway Police in sight.
No Metro Police.
ADT officer in office, feet up on the desk, reading the newspaper.
The place looks like a dump.
Now, this is not good enough!

suggest that a properly managed
system of informal labour is instituted.
Observatory, beware.

The photo posted is indeed Glenville Kennedy, a convicted felon. This
"gentleman" was employed by "Cape Key" at Lwr Rochester Road. I hear he was
dismissed about 2 years ago. Looking at his face, I could guess the tik monster

Dear Obs,
I have sponsored a walkie-talkie for James Cowley of Scott Rd. James is an
ex-Navy officer and he is actively involved in doing patrols and often rides
around Obs on a bicycle. To the good folks who already have two-way radio's,
please make full use of them whenever possible. It is a c

experience, especially if your barrel is rebored to accept a larger calibre.
