Hi All. We have come to the end of another year at ERA and our AGM will be held at 19h00 in the Colonial Room at Marks Park on 5 May 2010.
In this month’s article I would like to thank the members of the committee for all their hard work and input to make ERA the success that it is.
Intersection of Komatie & Greenhill Roads
Do you have an opinion about this intersection? Does it bother you? Would you like to see the roads organised differently? Send your ideas to the editor.
Analysis of the 11 properties sold in 2008 and that have been registered by 31 July show the following:-
The Gardens form part of Emmarentia and many residents have chosen to live in this suburb in order have easy access to them.
Emmarentia has traditionally been a single residential suburb, with some flats near the shops. Recent trends in development and supported by our Precinct Plan, will see new types of residential accommodation coming to Emmarentia.
Greeting to all the residents of the Green Heart of Johannesburg. It is another sunny day by the dam and I am trying to figure out if it is winter still or whether spring has decided to come a bit early this year. I have seen magnolias as well as jasmine blooming. Even some leaves on some of the trees at the park are spreading their greenery.
Since the discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand over a hundred years ago, the character of what is now greater Johannesburg has changed from what was predominantly a grassland to what is now recognised as the “largest exotic forest in the world”.
I am not sure if I have ever read a first letter of the year from anyone which didn’t sound clichéd. Nevertheless, I wish you all the best in the New Year and truly hope that 2008 is a safe, healthy and prosperous year for you and your families.
For those of you who don’t know, the oldest house in Johannesburg is in Emmarentia. The Gauteng Heritage Association paid a visit to the house at the end of August to view some proposed alterations.
