I encourage all residents of SAPRA land to join the SAPRA Facebook Group where you can discuss any matter which concerns you with your fellow residents. This group is well attended by many of the residents already who collectively contribute to many interesting discussions that are particularly relevant to our community, such as service delivery, local traders, job opportunities and many others.
To join, lookup "Saxonwold and Parkwood Residents Association (SAPRA)" on Facebook and apply to join. We have had to restrict membership in order to prevent spam bots (computers that create the names of fictitious people and swamp these sorts of Facebook groups with spam). All you have to do is to answer the three questions and say that you are a member of SAPRA. I will check that against the database and accept you without any fuss.
Try it - I think you will find it fun.
