Rosebank

Such valuable information we need because in the country that we live in, where crime is at an all-time high, you think you're in a safe space, but nowhere in South Africa is it safe for you sometimes just to have your phone out.

You could be in Sandton, in Rosebank, any suburb.

There'll be cars driving around.

And then before you know it, somebody steps out, grabs your phone, jumps into the car and that car has sped off.

I used to edit a show called Isola Seven a long time ago.

And we were interviewing this guy who was a CEO of Hyatt, Park Hyatt Hotels in Rosebank.

This guy says, I came here as a security guard.

Sure.

Once you start putting in sort of security architecture in there, because I think one of the fun things about Joburg is that there's so many different distinct nightlife experiences.

Whether you can go from Rosebank, I remember back in the day in uni, used to go to Tokyo Star and Greenside, bit of a mess, but awesome.

the scene in new town with all the trance and the EDM.

It's just, you know what I mean? You can smile about it and you can think about it and it's not necessarily there anymore, but you can revive so much of it.

On the polit- on the political front then, Build One South Africa has announced its mayoral candidates for the three metropolitan municipalities in Gauteng and Cape Town.

Party leader, Mmusi Maimane, briefed the media in Rosebank, Johannesburg.

Cliff Shikoh is there.

Build One South Africa says it will only contest in five provinces: Gauteng, Limpopo, North West, Free State, and the Western Cape.

45% of our candidates are women.

They come from diverse communities, age, gender, competence.

And finally, it is International Dog Day today.

When these incidents take place, does anyone take accountability? Do principals take accountability? Does the Department of Education come back to you? Do you get some sort of recourse of any how when you complain about this? Also, share with me, what does your child say about the school that they go to? What happens at school? And at times it then forces parents to drown themselves in serious pool of debt, of debt, in a very deep sea of debt in order to try to, uh, help their child escape a school that may be seen to be unsafe, yet very close to, uh, to their home.

And a parent would then rather opt for the child to go to, um, I don't know, uh, to a school in Rosebank, in Sandton, in Parkhurst, wherever, and leaving a school in Pimville.

I mean, there was an incident at Westridge High School where a child was beaten up to a pulp by a group of boys.

There was a, an incident at Forte High School in Soweto in Dobsonville, where kids were involved in gangsterism and the school was not safe.

Oh, the price point.

Mate, my, my pre-game meal, I, I, I was in, in Johannesburg, and I went to a little area called Rosebank and a place called The Grill House, where-- By, by the way, can you-- Right.

Just imag- so imagine the scene.

So this is-- I mean, it took, took me about half an hour to get, to get to the ground on the, on the train.

It was a similar sort of journey.

And I was, uh...

So I started in the equivalent of Waterloo, in Rosebank, and I, I, I got a, a filet on the bone, pepper-crusted filet on the bone.

My goodness, the, the meat melted.

And you were able to get a bond of about 1.5 to 2 million rands.

And I showed them and you could get such a nice apartment in Rosebank.

I showed them exactly what house they could own in Rosebank or what other house they could own in other parts of the country.

And they're absolutely amazed.

They were so shocked.
