Foreign guests at Diwali celebration in Pretoria called 'coolies and k*****s'

[Cray]

If the complex says no pink houses they can sue you for painting your house pink.

I understand security but I think you are some kind of masochist buying into a system like that.

Mt Edgecombe estate...

Little boxes, on the hillside....

Its still not cool just because the by laws bow to "my religion" doesn't mean I have to sit through a ****ing war zone.

Its festival of lights not festival of trying to recreate Vietnam

As one of ex-diwali guys, I agree absolutely. Respect local laws or get jailed. Our complex has 5000 rand fine for this (and with a provision that they will report to authorities for what it is worth) and everyone respects it.

 

[Aghori]

Awww shamepies, did people get offended or did their pets howl in fear over sounds? You should have took a drive past Chatsworth or Phoenix. That actually was a bit loud.

 

[Ninja'd]

Eish, you people in Joburg need to get your **** together man. This is 2019, calling people k*****s is so 1984. Get a clue.

Finally, someone who gets that Pretoria is a Joburg suburb.

Can't remember who it was but someone(edit) used the 'white trash' term a while back, I used the laughing smiley with 'you realise that's' racist' reply or something to that effect and then crickets. I took no offence and no one else commented. Had someone said black trash all hell would have broken loose so I doubt you would catch much flak for white bitch.

Unless her husband heard that, of course ...

Not as I understand. The bylaws allow pets, body corporates say no then it is no

Wrong way around. If the municipality says noise allowed 24/7, and the complex says only until 10 PM, complex wins. If the municipality says 2 pets allowed, and complex says none, complex wins.

Please think about this for a second, apply some logic.

It totally depends which bylaws are instituted by the municipality and law subsection. Bylaws, like company policies, cannot supersede any instituted law governing SA. Mainly these bylaws and policies have to abide by our Constitutional Rights. We have a right to privacy and access amongst many other things. For example, a 24/7 no noise bylaw will apply to public spaces which are under municipal supervision, likewise with pets.

When it comes to health and safety, or public health, bylaws it is a whole other regulation, because it is of social responsibility.

The boerewors curtain is more of a dotted line really.

LOL didn't read that far
Anyway, you people up north then... we in the Cape Town are quite chilled compared.

Would be an interesting test case but I think in this instance fireworks where allowed by the City bylaws (for a certain time) but perhaps not by the complex rules

Yes that would be correct and 100% legit. You cannot have the reverse though.

Bylaws state 19:00-22:00 fo guy fawks & diwali, complex rules can say, no none whatsoever no fireworks period. This will not be in contravention of the bylaws.

Bylaws state zero tolerance for fireworks, complex rules say it's ok from 17:00-01:00 guy fawkes, new years, diwali or anytime a national sports team wins a match. That is a clear contravention of municipal bylaws.

Yup agree. If bylaws ban something, complex rules cannot "unban" it.

Thank goodness I live in CPT

Cape Town Bans All Fireworks

It's in the headline

@Deadmanza lol.... EADC means business as you can see hahaha. This is very personal for him. Compares barrage of mini bombs to Vietnam pheewww.

Fixed that for you to make it more accurate.

 

[ponder]

Yup, especially with regard to pet rule, seen quite a few complexes enforce this..

It's two compltely different things. The one involves action the other an inaction, an inaction cannot contravene a bylaw.

There's legal terminology for this concept which I can't remember. I can feel my frustration building trying to explain this...

I schit you not when I see that place that song stars playing in my head, annoying when you're trying to play a round of golf on their nice courses.

 

[I.am.Sam]

so its fine to be racist towards another if they are doing wrong

mybb mentality

Nobody ever said it's fine to be racist, that isn't even up for debate.

Yes. Bylaws can allow something but complex rules can ban them and they are 100% within their legal right to do so as you agreed to those terms in a legal contract before buying into the estate.
