When i first moved to Sedgefield, 19 odd years ago, it was Mario Ferreira who drove around as Santa Claus and handed out sweets. When Mario retired his "ho ho ho's," Lions gave it a bash and did it once or twice. But Fanie has raised the bar to superb levels, and although I did not get to see the actual parade, the pics looked amazing.

Oh cool, I didn't know the history behind it at all! Another great thing Mario has done. What a win!

In Gardenia St Carlo a resident asked the road workers on the N2 what they do with the stripped tar. They replied that they dump it (far away) He asked them if they'd dump in his street to which they replied yes. He then fixed potholes and heavily washed away gullies. Many people on our local group wondered/questioned why the Muni could not use this material to repair potholes. The repairs are great by the way. Carlo owns a fair amount of potholes now 😜

Carlo the pothole King! That sounds brilliant and like a pretty doable solution. Perhaps we should just dig up the N2 😂

The “Shrek” float was actually the Grinch 😂

Codename Shrek then. Ha ha. Tami also just told me!

Thanks so much! Great idea. We often ask them for updates on things and they've been happy to send voice notes back... If you've got some specific questions about IDP projects let us know otherwise we can get some general updates about them.
