Potential Naturena Primary Transport Accident - Post 2000

 It doesn't take a fool to know and to read between the lines or see signs of danger when children together with adults ignore Joburg City By-law  street signs and simple road safety precautions to avoid a major disaster. 

For the last past 20 years I watched and observed Naturena School children, their siblings, mothers, motorists, taxi drivers, brothers and little sisters; cross the road toward the school without observing the stop signs and cross roads rules.


Slowly It Builds Up Like A Preparation - For A Terrible Potential Disaster Waiting To Happen:
Malta, Natuur and Vesting street in Naturena are high traffic congested roads in the mornings from 06:00 a.m. and 13:30 p.m. In between during the day you have taxis driving like crazy rogues not observing and adhering to the stop signs. From 03:00 pm to 06:00 p.m. it picks up again with afternoon traffic madness of homeowners coming back from work. Residents too do not seem to care much about safety and precautionary ways to cross-over when taking children to school. 

There's Poor Control Of Leadership Guidance To Manage Safety & Order - Rather There's Absolute Chaos. 
I possess archives dating back from 1999 when four Taxies Collided between Malta & Vesting broad daylight. I pray everyday that my fears will not someday ever manifest into a tragic real event, of a horrible accident that should be avoided at all costs, before something bad happens. 

If we act humanely and wisely to avert such an occurrence in the future it should come from our own community's common sense and initiatives as motorists, residents, parents, teachers, law-officers, the school, transporters, the public; the ability to see right from wrong, before "The Wrong" turns into a disaster. Should something go wrong, its only a matter of time before everything else truly goes wrong. And we all wake up one day to blame someone instead of our own misgivings.
If Prevention Is Not Better Than Cure? Than Forewarned Will Not Be Forearmed? 

I've been wondering at what point are we; as a community going to take responsibility to ensure that, Children- The Naturena Primary School Magement | (SGB) and Metro Police; are going to enforce good behaviour before any major disaster takes all of  us by surprise? I believe that we need to act fast and swiftly to avert any potential danger, that might leave us regretting our delayed reaction to act on this picturesque observations I have tried to display and compile in this blog.

At least someone must take the responsibility to take action and have these vulnerable street corners of Malta & Natuur and Malta & Vesting properly mended and taken care of with immediate effect. Residents including motorists, taxi drivers, school children, school transporters and parents get together find a safer solution. Find an immediate resolve during school pick hours; in the morning and afternoon, before this becomes too late to remedy with dire  irreversible consequences.


Let Us Become Responsible Citizens & Stop Behaving Like Wild Animals On The Road 

(Enjoy Our Freedoms & Choices with Pride)

Our Freedoms & Liberties To Exists As Citizens  Are "Human Privileges and Not Divine Rights"

Animals cannot see right from wrong

Because they have no freedom or choices!

They are colour blind and brain-washed

That is why...

When they slip up- their kind is buried in our history books

Like the bones of a fallen mighty dinosaur.

Plants do not know black or white facades and shades of discrimination

Because they have no freedom or choices!

Sometimes they are mindless of virtues they honestly uphold

due to their imperceptive existence.

That is why...

When they slip up- everybody blames one of the four seasons.

Insects do not share sentiments of hit-songs like "I'm A Weekend Special"

by Brenda Fassi & The Big Dudes or Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5,

Because they are too small and insignificant

To appreciate the house of rock and roll or Kwaito Music

This is why...

When they slip up – I blame it all on the rhythm of stupidity and poor depth of perception.

You think and feel you belong somewhere when you have borrowed power!

doesn't power dissipate like fog when one meets their demise?

The human race is a place we harbour as our maze and craze of illusion
to satisfy our hunger for confusion?

Your impressions and emotions converge in dreams states gone by as mystery!
Is it not a pipe dream to think we're all immortal and infallible to drown in our own tears?

We are crystallized to provoke our unconscious motions of excitement to be controlled by our emotional psych, 

Because we think we own both spaces and places of Grace with unlimited undefined conditions of hype.

Yet consequences of our lost thoughts and borrowed time will someday act against us!

To bear fruits from the chaos,

We make of this freedom!

But rather the power to prove that we are responsible -

And accountable to the Creator when left home alone "earth".

Let us use and enjoy this freedom and its power with discretion in a wise manner or lose it through our careless foolishness!


Before 1999 - Around 2000 This Is How This Area Looked

Naturena P. School Urgent Call for Action: Ensuring Safety and Order in Our Neighborhood

Dear Naturena Primary School, Principal, Parents, JMPD, Councillor, SGB, and School Transport Drivers, I pen this letter with a heavy heart and a sense of urgency, imploring all stakeholders to heed the call for immediate action regarding the safety and well-being of our community, particularly around the vicinity of Corner Vesting and Malta Streets NATURENA near the UJ student residences . For far too long, our neighborhood has been plagued by a myriad of issues that compromise the safety, cleanliness, and tranquility of our surroundings. For years now, concerned residents and parents have been raising alarm bells regarding the chaos and disorder that ensue during peak hours, especially in the mornings and after school hours. The situation has reached a tipping point, with our streets congested by school transport vehicles, children left vulnerable to potential accidents, and our once-pristine gardens littered with refuse and discarded sweets. If You Were In My Shoes - Would'nt ...

Mzansi - Allegory of the Broken Crown

 Allegory of the Broken Crown In the beginning, South Africa was carved as a jewel from the bones of the earth. Her rivers were veins of gold, her mountains altars of stone, her people the chorus of a thousand tongues. She was crowned with promise, a queen among nations. But thieves crept into her palace. They wore the robes of leaders, yet their hands were stained with hunger for power. They feasted at her table, not as guardians but as gangsters. They drank her wine, squandered her treasures, and laughed as her children starved. The crown slipped, not because it was stolen, but because it was neglected. The Parliament became a theatre — a hall of mirrors where questions were asked but never answered. The mayor, the ministers, the councillors: all actors in a play where accountability was a ghost. The people watched, weary, knowing the script by heart. The interrogations were rituals of smoke, not fire. Yet beneath the rot, the prophets whispered. They saw two futures: The Gangste...

City of Johannesburg Money Laundering Schem

 City of Johannesburg Money Laundering Schem The Futility of Interrogations.  When parliament summons a mayor like Dada Morero to “account” for billions written off, it performs a ritual more than a reckoning. It is theatre: the appearance of oversight without the substance of consequence. In a system where corruption rarely leads to removal, prosecution, or restitution, the interrogation becomes a hollow drumbeat — noise without rhythm. The lesson the mayor learns is not accountability, but endurance: how to sit through questioning, how to deflect, how to survive until the next scandal eclipses the current one. The Nation’s Lesson South Africans watching this charade absorb a bitter truth: corruption has become normalized, qualifications are irrelevant, and loyalty to party outweighs competence. The nation learns cynicism, resignation, and distrust. The image projected to the world is of a country where governance is a masquerade, where municipalities are staffed by the unqua...

From Jungle to Paradise: Cultivating a Thriving South Africa for All

Introduction: The metaphors of "jungle" and "garden" aptly capture the current state and desired future of South Africa. A nation brimming with diverse potential, yet entangled in challenges, needs a transformative approach to unlock its true potential. This essay draws inspiration from "From Jungle to Garden: Transforming South Africa's Diversity into Productivity" while tailoring it to a broader vision: creating a "paradise" for every value-adding individual. Beyond Manifestos: Understanding the Human Soil Manifestos alone are insufficient. We must delve deeper, analyzing the quality of individuals attracted by each party and their citizen empowerment programs. This is crucial, for a fertile "garden" requires diverse, skilled, and engaged citizens. International Investment: Nourishing the Growth South Africa's journey to paradise cannot be undertaken alone. International financial investment is vital, but simply attracting ...
