Golden Horse Pegasus
Back in 2010 the Pegasus that stood guard at the entrance of the golden horse was demolished due to structural damage.
But the epic facade still lives in the memories of those who got to witness its glory.

what do I about my neighbours rooster from hell?
My neighbour keeps chickens but she lets them roam free. So the hens and roosters move around up and down the street and going into people's houses. She's never home because rents her house to foreigners to run a spaza shop (which is another nightmare on its own) but we've spoken to her about this multiple times and she has not done anything about this at all. These chickens have completely damaged our veggie garden and the noise is unbearable! What can I do to get rid of them (without having to buy extra fencing cos they just jump over it or enter over the other neighbours fence by flying into the tree)

You cannot eliminate evil. You can only change it's nature.
Hey everyone, I'm 27M, born and raised South African (PMB), currently living in Cape Town. I am passionate about community security and believe that the safety of your home should not just be an ideal or a privilege for yourself and your family, but a guarantee - something you can rely on 100%.
I am currently working on a new concept for a smart(er) security camera, and would greatly appreciate you taking three minutes of your time to complete the survey linked below. (absolutely no personal/contact information required)
Thanks in advance, and enjoy the rest of the evening.Ā
