Did You Know?
Happy 2017! Despite all omens, we hope it will be a good and prosperous
one! Here are some tips that might help.
Extend your free parking at Morning Glen Mall:
The Mall doesn't advertise it and it seems so secret that even the other
shopkeepers are unaware of it! Free parking is extended from the normal
hour (charges of R7 apply for 1-3 hours) by another 30 minutes if you take a Pick 'n Pay till slip to the Parking
Office: turn right out of PnP, pass Country Collage,
then down the passage on the right. This tip could be
useful to the dozens, possibly even hundreds, of people who shop at Morning
Glen every year.
The extra half hour free could give you time for a coffee at Cafeum Diem
(formerly Fego). You might "Like" the
Cafeum Diem Facebook page and
print out some of their special coupons to redeem when you visit, e.g.: Combo
offer #2: Any 2 selected breakfasts with 2 drinks for R90 (an egg-ceptional
deal); combo offer #3: Any 2 wraps/tramezzinis for R85; offer #5: 2 café
meals for R95. Two steaks for R95? That's rare!
The Lyoness loyalty card (advertised below) gives you up to 5% of your spend
back when shopping at selected merchants, plus up to 15 "Shopping Points" per
R1000 to use on special offers. "Selected merchants" include Spur
restaurants, Checkers, Shoprite, Shoprite Liquor, Outdoor Warehouse,
Sportsman's/person's/thing's Warehouse,
Dion Wired and Game, Dis-Chem, Babies "R" Us, The Golfers Club, Hirsch's, Western Shoppe,
Vodacom prepaid, Cell C prepaid, and Microsoft's on-line store.
Pick 'n Pay has a loyalty card, called Smart Shopper, that is free and gives
you 1% of your total shop back. A bonus they don't advertise much is that,
once their system gets used to your shopping habits, they start offering you
discounts off things you buy anyway. Swipe your card through the machine at the
store entrance to see what personalised vouchers they have for you: R7.30 off 2ℓ Ola Ice Cream or R7.40 off
2kg No Name frozen chicken braaicuts or R1.70 off a 1ℓ Douglasdale milk sachet may come in handy!

Restaurant Review by Judith Back to top
***** Pizza del Forno, Chilli on Top, Sunninghill: 6th January 2017
This is fairly recently opened restaurant in this centre and has a very
reasonably priced menu. There is an outside smoking area for people who don't
like tasting their food. They do a very good House Dry White wine, the other
drink was Appletiser. Sandile was our waiter and attentive, brining
plenty of ice for both drinks. I chose the Mussels in Creamy Garlic Sauce but
asked that the Mozzarella be omitted and my partner chose the Pollo Fantastico.
The Mussels arrived with Foccacia which came in handy for my partner later! They
were excellent, though I did remark that I would have liked more garlic. I was
told that they tried not to overdo it as some people are not such aficionados of
the Rose!
My partner's Pollo Fantastico, which consisted of chicken breasts, bacon,
avocado, roast veggies and a decoration of a tomato sitting on a cucumber, was
declared fantastico indeed. I stole some avocado, which was delicious.
Altogether a great experience with excellent service and worth another visit!

Learn Self-Defence and Get Fit for 2017
Krav Maga (pronounced "Kraav M'gaa") is a self-defence system developed in
Israel, that focuses on practical techniques drawn from a wide variety of
martial arts. Used by Israeli Defence Forces and various law enforcement
and military organizations worldwide, Krav Maga is known for its focus on
real-world situations and efficient counter-attacks. Derived from
street-fighting skills, it includes fitness, unarmed combat, knife and gun
disarms, and grappling techniques. What makes Krav Maga different to other
martial arts is that anyone regardless of age, gender and fitness level can
learn it quickly and use it successfully. The system is designed to enable a
smaller defender to successfully neutralize an attack by a larger aggressor, and
is perfectly suited for women and teenagers. We train Mondays and
Thursdays 18:45-20:45 upstairs at Car Service City diagonally opposite Cambridge
Crossing shopping centre in Petervale. Interested?

Newsletter Changes, New Newsletter
Since early 2009 the Megaplex website has run largely as a labour of love
intended to make your life easier as a shopper in Sandton, and to increase the
prosperity of this area. Since November 2009 this newsletter has run
monthly with the same purpose. Originally it was "Shopping in Morningside, Rivonia and Woodmead",
then in 2011, "Shopping in North-Eastern Sandton" and "Shopping in Northern
Sandton". Finally, in 2012, we became "Shopping in Sandton".
We are changing the newsletter's timing, moving it to near the beginning of
the month: It always looked "late" to have it arriving at the very end of the
month!
In the latter half of the month we are starting, again as a public service to
help our readers, a new newsletter: "Doing Business in Sandton" will have
internet and other tips and tricks to help your shop or other business grow and
prosper. You might also find it useful if you are thinking of starting a small
business, or creating an extra online income. Subscribe here.
Petition for a Ban on Fireworks in Johannesburg
The festive season showed yet again that people just will not handle fireworks
responsibly. We had people detonating them in contravention of the municipal
regulations outside the designated hours, and within 500 m of a petrol station.
It's time to ban them entirely: Sign the petition set up by Ward 66 DA Councillor
Carlos da Rocha here.
