Mom3.0 session at Maxi’s

In Maxi's restaurant

This last past Saturday the ladies from the mom3.0 class enjoyed a breakfast at Maxi’s restaurant as part of their excursion. The ladies have class every second week in the RLABS space. The moment was captured on camera and in the next class the ladies will be posting these pics up on facebook and blogging about the moment.

The ladies of mom3.0 have done Gmail and facebook in their class thus far. They will be doing some things on Facebook and then will be moving on to Blogging.

We were also joined by Dr. Gary Wills and Mike Santer from the U.K that was doing interviews with the ladies. A special thanks to Maxi’s in Vangate Mall for availing the restaurant for the moms. This was the 1st of many excursions to come.

Stay tuned to see the progress of these moms as they set the Social Media scene alight.

Two cops critically injured on my door step

This morning Craig, Clinton and myself headed off to a meeting at Marlon Parker’s house with the director of the movie: “I Now Pronounce You Black and White”. Our meeting was however canceled and then we decided to head back to the RLABS office.

This is the horrific scene we came across

On our way back to the office we came across a horrific scene. We saw lots of police vans and cops standing in lower Klipfontein road. We approached what seemed to be a crime scene. As we did further investigation we discovered that two police officers has been shot by one of the new and upcoming gangs, The Playboys. I have heard previously by my ex gang members, that this gang is trying to make a statement and they should not be messed with.

Well they certainly got tongues wagging. The members in this particular gang are very young and are growing in numbers by the day. What has our country come to, when not even our cops are safe? Two members of the PlayBoy gang were in the park in the early hours of the morning and when the cops approached them they opened fire on them, critically injuring them. This took place about 5 minutes drive from where I live.

Thank God that I am no longer caught up in this madness but I am however praying without ceasing for those still caught up in gangstersim and violence. My heart goes out to the families of the cops who was critically injured in this incident. I pray that the peace of God will be with them.

Day out at Cape Town Stadium

On Saturday the Impact/RLABS staff went to watch a soccer match at Cape Town Stadium. This was our way to relax and spend some time together out of the office. I have driven pass The Cape Town Stadium many times and did not realise how huge it really was. Only when I was standing at the entrance to the stands I saw how huge it was. I felt so tiny as I was standing there and looking up towards the roof.

I will not be speaking about the soccer match as the results very disappointing .That is all I am going to say. However I have to commend The City, developers and builders of the stadium. It is absolutely stunning with its retractable roof that adds to the features. Well done to everyone that had a hand in this building this stadium.

I am so looking forward to going back to the stadium to watch another match there. Just pities I don’t have any tickets to the world cup match as our tickets that we applied fro were rejected. The good thing is that after the World Cup the stadium will still be here for us Capetonians to enjoy.
