The rain thankfully ceased just as the AGM came to a close, and members were joined by many of the tenant residents and the party got started. Res- idents and their children were out in full force, accessing the party through the Talhami’s residence and out into the road reserve, where Danny had organised music, a jumping castle and the braai. The event was a wonderful occasion for old friends to meet the new residents and make new friends. To the background sound of music and the laughter and the excited shrieks of children, the serious business of braaing and the associated activities began. In true South African style, the men became responsible for ensuring that the meat was cooked to perfection, while everybody else either sat down to chat or wandered around from table to table to join in the general conversations, with the occasional sortie to make sure that all was going well around the braai. Needles to say, the sound of voices and laughter escalated exponen- tially, all of which was neatly summed up by a little girl’s question of “Mum- my, whose party is this?” The evening was a great success and enjoyed by all.
