Sandton and Bryanston News
We have added a new shopping centre to the Megaplex site: Grayston Shopping Centre at 135 Grayston Drive, corner Helen Road (GPS -26.10057, 28.06586). This centre serves Strathavon, Sandown, the southern end of Morningside and the northern Sandton CBD. There are a number of fast food restaurants, two convenience stores, and several hair salons. With two dentists and an optician, immediate medical needs are taken care of. There are various body care places, and a large separate Virgin Active gym with a pool, nearby.
Bryanston Shopping Centre has added a new, bigger elevator that goes from the lower mall to the upper mall so that customers can fit all their shopping trolleys in with ease. The post boxes which have been relocated to behind CNA are set to be ready for customers to collect their post in the first week of August. Several shops have opened or moved: See the lists below.

"We had a great time at Chislehurst for our Baby Shower - we were spoilt for fun and good food", said Lolo Bingwa. 20 ladies arrived laden with gifts for the mum-to-be, Lolo's sister. After a delicious brunch, champagne and cake accompanied toasts and lots of laughter. Choose Chislehurst for your next event, under the lapa and around the pool. Book clubs, kitchen teas, boardroom lunches and birthday celebrations, we can assure you of a good time in a secure, private, pretty and peaceful environment. Jenny on 011 803 1351 / 083 271 5958 |

Restaurant Review by Judith Back to top
***** Winnie's Soul and Jazz Restaurant , Wendywood Shopping Centre, Daphne Street
What a wonderful place with jazz playing all the time and a live show at 21:30 [weekends only], which was sadly too late for us! Anthony made us feel very welcome and presented their very interesting menu. Drinks were ordered - the hot chocolate standard and a Vrede and Lust dry pink wine, which is truly wonderful and a real change from dry whites. It is a light and truly delicious wine worth repeating.
We shared chicken livers, which were a little too hot for my companion. I found them just right for a chilly evening! My partner ordered lamb shank whilst I went for the mussels starter. Both dishes were perfectly cooked and presented. My mussels were plump and the sauce was just right.
We concluded the evening with a coffee and a cappuccino. Atmosphere is great, prices on the high side, definitely a place for the elite to be seen and to have a great evening. Service is good - thanks Anthony! Loved the decor - lots of photos of jazz greats and warm wood.

Public Interest: Back to top
ADT reports that on 13 July at around 08:30, a suspect accessed a property in Davies Road, Bryanston, through the main gate and proceeded to force open a door with a crowbar. While he was busy, the gardener confronted him and the suspect said he used to be the gardener at the property and was breaking in because the homeowner owed him money. The gardener said he must wake the homeowner up but the suspect clearly didn't like this idea and quickly left the property – by opening the main gate with a remote! It is evident that this former employee still had a remote for the main gate in his possession and it was therefore no problem for him to access the property and attempt to break in!
Security essentials: • Re-programme remotes or change locks if domestic staff abscond with remotes/keys or you neglect to take them back. • Always request a copy of your domestic worker's ID, a home address and a contact number. • Equip your domestic staff with panic buttons and make sure they know what to do in an emergency. • Report anything suspicious to your security company or the SAPS immediately.
