Mandela Day Jumble Sale, if you could include a short version of it asking for people to contribute to our jumble sale that would be awesome!
From the office
- You can now tip the barmen with your membership cards.
- If there is anybody keen to play league squash, please contact the office
- With Winter having arrived we are focussing on the car guards who stand out in the freezing cold looking after our cars while we are having a great time in the Club
- The Club does not pay our car guards a salary – they rely on tips from patrons
- I know a few members have had problems but if we look at the big picture and the size of the car park – with no fencing these guys do their jobs
- Without them there is no doubt the Club would have many more incidents than we do.
- Please treat them respect as they deserve it
- This week is Bongani
- Bongani has been with the Club for a year as a Car Guard
- He is 34 years old
- Not married and no children
- He has a matric from TTC in the Vaal
- Bongani worked at Cape Gate in the Vaal and was retrenched
- He then worked as a petrol attendant at a BP garage in Randburg – he lost this job due to new ownership
- He really appreciates his job at Pirates as otherwise in his words “he would be hungry and cold and a beggar”
If anyone has a spare jacket that they do not use these guys would appreciate it so much as it gets absolutely freezing at Pirates in Winter in the dead of night?
