Yeoville residents Yo!

Renowned Yeoville poets and POWA (People Opposed to Women Abuse) and ADAPT
and Yeoville Police will be addressing a public meeting as part of the
Community Policing Forum campaign against domestic violence.

When: Saturday 29 January at 2 p.m.
Where: St Aidan's Church Hall, 59 Regent Street, Yeoville

Yeoville has some of Joburg and South Africa's best poets and musicians as
residents. On Saturday you will hear the famous Feelah Sisters and Khosi
Xaba (whose book of poetry has just been published), all of whom lived here,
perform some of their poetry. You will also hear speakers from POWA, from
ADAPT, and from the police, and have a chance to ask questions or make
comments. All will deal with the theme of domestic violence, which is one of
the most serious crimes in Yeoville.

Come and show your support for our slogan: Make a Family, Not a Fist!

See you all Saturday afternoon

I have an artist friend who still lives in Yeoville proper in a
beautiful renovated old house with his horticulturalist lover. As
the houses around them are put up for sale they buy them and turn
them into garden or sort of garden cottages, "little" art studios
and giagantic garden sheds. Most other people I know have given up
and moved out of Yeoville. Or they really do live in Observatory or
Houghton and just say "Yeoville".

Yeoville is also one of the most disgusting suburbs I have been through.
There is rubbish and newspapers lying everywhere. I went to school with
some of its residents some years ago. They are agressive and actually
take pride in being lazy.

I always associate it with people who smoke dope. I always have. I
actually like the smell of dagga, even though it makes me vomit if I
try and smoke it.

Become a Bucs supporter and sit with them on the stands at the FNB stadium,
and you can indulge in passive smoking to your heart's content.

And probably has more of the Congo's ones than Congo has. The place is all
over furriners.
