Millions of rands have been invested into the infrastructure

of Hazeldean to date, with good progress already

made on the plann ing of variou s new roads that

will provide access between the N4 and Pretoria East.

A consortium of 6 developers, including Abland and

Sable Homes, are working tirelessly to achieve this.

Tshwane municipality has recently taken over the Hazeldean

area from Kungwini and the developers have had various

meetings with the Roads Authorities, Gautrans, Sanral,

Tshwane Roads Departments and TRAC, regarding the

road planning. The planned roads include a complete

diamond interchange for the PWV17 and N4 crossing,

the PWV17 provincial highway, and other roads such as

The need for these roads has originated mainly from the

rapid growth the area is currently experiencing. These roads

will greatly alleviate the pressure on Solomon Mahlangu

Approval has already been obtained for the N4/PWV17

interchange and the northern section of the PWV 17 , with

approval of the southern part of the PWV 17, towards

Graham Road, expected soon. The PWV 17 will be

will be constructed up to the R21 and will link into

Graham Road in the vicinity of the Willows Quarry.

Another important road to be built will be Hazeldean

Boulevard, which will link Ridge Road with Graham Road

(in the vicinity of the Lombardy Office Park), thus eliminating

eliminating the need to travel down Silver Lakes Drive.

Hazeldean Boulevard will be a Class 3 double lane road.

Another massive accolade for the developers of the node

is that they have obtained buy-in from a substantial and

prominent local investor to complete the first phase of

the Hazeldean Regional Mall (marked with a 6 in master plan

below). This mal l wi l l be substant ia l in s ize .

In addition to the Regional Mall, negotiations are also

underway to construct a fully-fledged hospital in

Hazeldean in the near future, which will be supported by

imminent Frail Care Facility in The Retreat, as well as the

existing Intercare Sub-Acute and Day Hospital in Hazeldean.

On a green note, much has been done to ensure that

Hazeldean will be an eco-friendly development, with millions

of rands already spent on indigenous plants and trees,

integrated water-management systems and the

preservation of the wetland areas in the node.

The developers are now also opening a nursery in the area,

where indigenous plants and trees will be removed from

areas earmarked for future development, and

relocated to the nursery. They will be kept at the nursery

and then be used again in future developments.

During the dry winter months fire safety becomes

especially important, and every household should have a

“safety check plan”. The person who is the last to leave the

house should enter each and every room and make sure

that all appliances are switched off. The same procedure

should be repeat before going to bed at night.

It is recommended by many to install a fire alarms system

and carbon monoxide(CO) detector in your home.

In addition you should consider buying a fire blanket

When was the last time you had your eyes checked

by an ophthalmologist? If you ask that question,

most people would ask, “what exactly is an

Opthalmologist, and why would I need to see one?”

An Opthalmologist is a qualified doctor specializing

in the diagnosis as well as the medical and surgical

The most common causes of blindness in South

Africa include Diabetic Retinopathy, Cataracts,

age-related Macular Degeneration and Glaucoma,

amongst others. Even though most of these diseases

are potentially blinding, all of them can be treatable

The ability to diagnose and treat Ocular Pathology

and major causes of blindness plays an integral part

of healthcare in South Africa, and it is therefore the

role of the Opthalmologist to be able to deliver a

comprehensive eye care service to the community,

and thereby improving lives through improved vision.

Dr. Marcel C. Niemandt, received his MBChB degree

in 2002, from the University of Pretoria. He spent

3 years in Canada, with his wife Eunice, working as

a bedside physician in the Rockyview General Hospital

in Calgary, Alberta. After returning to his home

country to pursue his dream of becoming an

Opthalmologist, he wrote his primary exams, while

working as a medical officer in Pretoria West Hospital

(with Professor Polla Roux), and then in Thembisa

Him and his family then moved to Durban in 2009,

where he started registrar training under Dr. Linda

Services that can be offered at the rooms include

full visual assessments, complete eye examinations,

including Anterior and Posterior Segment Evaluations,

Glaucoma Screening, Diabetic Screening, Strabismus

(Squint) Evaluation and Neuro-Opthalmological

offered in the rooms, to all patients depending on

Significant accomplishments during registrar training

include registrar presentations at the Opthalmological

Society of South Africa (OSSA) congresses from 2010

to 2013, and he received a first prize in the registrar

Onlangse Curro Gospelfees bekoor gehoor

Op Vrydag, 17 Mei, is die Curro Gospelfees

in die saal gehou. Verskeie vermaakli ke aktiwiteite

het vroegmiddag plaasgevind, alles natuurlik rondom

die Christustema en om Hom te loof en prys. Die

hoogtepunt was die honderde ballone wat met

spesiale bybelversies die lug ingestuur is. Voor die

skool was daar ‘n waentj ie waar kos, klere ,

komberse en baie ander goedere ingesamel is vir

minderbevoorregte mense, om hulle te help voorberei vir

die koue, moeilike winter wat voorlê. Daar word

voortgegaan met die insameling van donasies tot en met

die einde van die kwartaal (elke bietjie kan help.)

Mense het vanaf 17:50 begin opdaag. Daar was ‘n hele

klomp stalletjies wat boeke, ornamente, kos en bybel-

versies op staal, verkoop het. Daarna kon die mense hul

stoele begin inneem vir die asemrowende optrede

wat voorgelê het. Heel eerste het ons hoof, Dr. Rheeders,

almal verwelkom en voorgestel aan die skreeusnaakse

seremoniemeester. Hy het ons voorgestel aan die hoof van

die Dissipelkoor, Anel Labuschagne en haar “helper”,

André Nieuwoudt wat ons bietjie meer vertel het oor die

Dissipelkoor. Hulle het begin met 17 koorlede en het die

koor opgebou tot ‘n verstommende 70 lede, waarvan almal

Ingestuur deur Ruan Viljoen en Chloe AnsellGraad 6 - Curro Hazeldean

Die koor se stemme het soos 1000 nagtegale deur die

saal weerklink toe hulle afgesluit het met ‘n

briljante optrede. Daarna het Bobby van Jaarsveld

die verhoog ingeneem. Hy het baljaar asof daar

geen môre sou wees nie en uit sy hart gesing

vir die Here ons God. Sy lied oor sy seun

was egter die hoogtepunt van sy hele optrede

en die optrede het die gehoor regtig diep geraak.
