Why would u race at Turfontein??

Motorists have been advised to avoid the Rosettenville area as residents have embarked on a protest - blocking several streets with burning tyres and stones.

Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson, Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar, said Geranium Street was still blocked off to traffic between Prairie Street and Main Street, following the protests that begun early this morning.

The REZA crime network tweeted that the protests had xenophobic overtones.
Minnaar said the community were protesting about crime in the area.

“They are also alleging that security guards are collaborating with criminals inside the mall," he said.

Minnaar confirmed that that negotiations between the community leaders, JMPD and SAPS, to stabilise the situation, were underway

I tried to keep Gosforth Park rather than Turffontein. Made presentations at both meetings to decide on which to keep. The cartel wanted Turffontein and this is what they got--- a rubbish dump stench, bad access and high crime.Another great bit of foreward thinking!!!

Sly because you brought a bottle of JWB to drink at the box

Maybe u and Johno should come to the Hangover and we can celebrate Johnos belated birthday

From a racing perspective its without doubt the most fairest course in south africa where there are no excuses or hard luck stories which as a punter is what i want ...just like greyville in kzn :woohoo:

And it's leka going there, except the tip, Vaal is kak for a day out.

Jokes aside the big T is a magnificent track and the facilities are great vs price for a big day out especially if you compare with overseas equivalent


Its just a pity that its not in Pretoria east !!

Beautiful racecourse, location not so good, as pirates says great testing straight, enjoyed watching Striker on SURCHARGE yesterday,
