Marinda, from your Facebook timeline and what I’d been told, I thought you had recovered. Maybe you should use your email’s autoresponder to advise people to use the phone in the absence of a reply.
The Sidego interview and the CTT AGM were many months ago.
I (and those I shared it with) was surprised by your reply. I didn’t attack you but rather illustrated the efforts made. There was nothing malicious in the points I made.
I am pleased to say that Stellenbosch Municipality has responded very positively to this post.
And by the way, I wasn’t asking you to complete a survey but rather contribute to the questions and answers so that the outcomes would be most useful to all.

Carl, you of all people, who experienced blindness, should understand that completing a survey that I unfortunately did not pick up in my inbox, would have slipped by.
When you phoned and asked for a reference on Conrad Sidego, I was the first to respond.
We spoke at CTT AGM. You did not mention a word.
A simple phone call would have solved the problem.
You may think the pen is mightier than the sword, but alienating someone who has always supported you, leaves you extremely vulnerable.
Please feel free to contact the Chair for the Stellenbosch chapter of the Cape Chamber of Commerce, Richard Daneel, to complete your survey.
