I lived in the Fourways and Dainfern areas for 15 years, regular water outages were a problem indeed 😢. It's a matter of poor balance of property development vs infrastructure development. That area is developing in a super high speed, getting super congested. All along William Nicol, from the beginning of Bryansyon all the way to the end of Dainfern, beginning of Kyalami.
Regulation 34.3.2 of the Property Practitioners Act, 2019. states that the estate agent is legally obligated to disclose all known information about the property to potential buyers, both positive and negative.
"I could also use a rotary phone, but I aint"🤣🤣 I am SO grateful for you and CTN; you guys are always transparent. I highly dislike when people try to paint a rosy, perfect picture of JoBurg. No place is perfect, including SA, and I'm still willing to take the bitter with the sweet (I only do high-rises with all the conveniences, so ant's aren't happening). I will never apologize for living the way I worked hard to live. Thank you for sharing this.
I'm also in Fourways-Broadacres - I feel what you feelin - so frustrating. been gettin water from the pool to flush, had to wash in a basin this morning. it's a lot! the water situation is enough to make a person wanna move coz this 'burst pipe' situation is becoming a pattern now. All the best with the house hunting.
I got one word for ya'll - PRETORIA. I worked and lived in SA and I have to encourage ya'll to move to Pretoria instead, when I was living there, Waterkloof Ridge was the best, then there's also Faerie Glen, Menlo Park and Garsfontein. All Lovely areas and most of the embassy staff were located in this area so there's a sizable ex-pat community. You can still use the G-Train to Rosebank but you might fall in love with Menlyn Maine instead.
You said " Out like project lights"😂😂😂 Thank you guys for sharing my wife was sold on Four-ways but now Waterfall seems more appealing.. I wish you all well on your journey for your next home
I just watched an interview of a restaurant owner in Fourways (she owns the Old Duckie Cafe and Nickaus (sp?) in Pineslope?) saying she has had to buy bottled water for the last 11 days to clean. I guess it's not just in homes??
Well I stayed in Fourways Douglasdale lourie Avenue and for 10 years never experienced what you experienced, then again it's 2023 I guess Maintenance is calling. Hydepark is a good Area in Sandton to try out
🤣😂I laughed so hard when you were discribing the issue of water,there's a ghost that opened the taps while you were sleeping Dr Asad..... As for kilalami😂instead of kyalami
Thanks for the information Asad. We are in the middle of buying a house in Midstream Centurion. They are more careful with infrastructure. Hopefully we will be alright.
The most respected family, but thanks guys to share up and lows of JHB . We move with you wherever you go because you us and us are you. Sorry!✊ onewaysa forever. 🙏🇿🇦
Oy we had some really bad leaks in NYC. Thanks to the wooden flooring the water would flow down a couple of floors and totally destroyed a beautiful rug that came with the house. Mold!!! Had to take asthma medication till we returned to SA. The house was more than 100 years old.
the pipe burst was on my street. its resolved now. Sad to hear you house has leakages and electrical issues however Lonehill remains prime real estate!
Best to Make Friends Close-by Sir.Its so convenient to go to a family member and take a bath and fill up some buckets.We done had it all in the west of joburg.
Ms Adriene seems to have been familiar with the South African accent, and she managed it during the early visitation in South Africa and, on the other side, there is our brother over there!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Doc, we had this discussion on one of you’re Sunday lives before you moved to SA. Water problems are everywhere in the west in the US but we are they are not stopping services yet. I thought you’re house was nice & didn’t look old. I can’t wait to visit SA again. I had a great experience!
We lived like that in Durban townships during apartheid. Every weekend we had to search for water and carry it in 20L containers. Every house had them. Traumatized by it to this day. Y’all should settled in Pretoria or Midland😂😂😂😂😂 Pretoria has crazy loadshedding, but our water system was upgraded only a couple of years ago, plus it’s the capital so they don’t mess around that much over here. On a serious note, we feel bad for you guys. Such a baptism, by fire🙈
Brother Asad I thank you and Adrian for being able to laugh and remain joyful at this incident. For This allows me to smile, laugh and keep my joy along with you. The African American and the South African brothers and sisters are hardcore survivors, theres not many hard ship that we as a people have not experienced. We have been made rough and tough for incidents such as these. But anyhow I hope you and Adrian resolved your situation and just keep smiling, keeping your peace and keep moving forward. I really must get in contact with you, thinking about coming at the end of 2023. Peace and love.
My Wife and I had to deal with water issues in Ghana. We ordered portable showers from amazon before moving to the continent. They were clutch in a ASAP moment
The Electrical Installation Regulations state that a Certificate of Compliance is valid for two years for purposes of transfer and the user or lessor may not allow a change of ownership if the certificate of compliance is older than two years. Brother Asad you have just moved to SA, get your lawyer to sort this issue Water compliance certification is valid for 6 months from the date of issue. Yes, sellers are dishonest out there. New residential developments are always best.
I forgot to tell you to avoid older suburbs fam, they will have no resale value in the future and you mostly rely directly on the municipality to resolve issues which takes a lot longer. Millenials mostly buy in modern Estates or Complexes where the management of the Estate will sit on the municipality's neck until the problem (Water/Electrical Outage) is resolved. Investing in a stand-alone house or house in the older suburbs is a huge gamble. And these Estate Agents be Cappin, watch out for that...🧢🧢🧢
@@mazibukomail When I said old Suburbs, I was referring to places such as Bezuidenhout Valley, Rosettenville, Kempton Park, etc. I was just sounding an alarm that older Joburg suburbs are a gamble. I know someone who’s still paying a bond for a house in Bezuidenhout Valley, and the house is worth way less than its purchase price. They are struggling to sell it, and the rental market is terrible over there. I recommend extensive research before purchasing a property for investment.
We must invent "pool walls". Like water tanks, but built into the walls with pumping and gravity to get the water out. Or take feet pics.. I know some potential clients to both business ideas 🤣
Old infrastructure that the city has neglected for years now, that's why you see a lot of trenches when you drive around JHB, old pipes always bursting
Y’all done got Bougie! New Orleans water had all kinds of stuff in the tap water. I remember making kool aid when I was in college. There was always a skim on the top of the kool aid. The water caused acne back in the nineties so I know it hasn’t got any better. So a little brown water ain’t gonna hurt y’all! Lol
Dang man!!! Well y’all are the pioneers! Y’all let us know where the best place to live over there. I don’t have to be in the city. I rather stay in the suburbs with water and electricity. I hate that y’all are struggling for the cause. Funny video, serious issues.
@@asadelmalikphd That’s where I told you where I wanted to be, either Midrand or South. You wanted to be close to your job and the boys school. Is South new and is it closer to job and school than come from Midrand?
One last post…. I was sitting here giving profound thought to you all’s struggles. All in all, I believe that y’all made the right decision to move to SA. I am still planning to move there regardless. So I want to give you my heartfelt sympathy, not empathy, but sympathy… Then suddenly I heard a loud noise in the room with me. So I flushed the toilet!!! Lol. Have a great weekend!
You are not wrong in what you said, you are blessed and able to get a hotel. I would do the same. Lol. And that landlord of your tired you, I would be blowing her phone line up every day or she'll have more issues to address 😂
10k water bill????? They taking advantage.. even if there is a leak 10k ls just too much. I live in an estate and electricity and water is barely 8k a month
Ya'll need to move to Melrose Arch 😅 Hopefully you can get the issues sorted but it sounds like the house needs a lot of work from plumbing to electrics to sealing and much more. Total renovation needed! You may in future want to look at a home with it's own borehole and storage tank & treatment facility. This is the norm in West Africa and rural SA. Also a house may not appear old due to recent or frequent decoration over the years. however, that hides all that 'lies behind the scenes' which probably hasn't been renewed since the 80s. Even our bodies need maintenance/renewal.
Emergency water will be for cooking brushing of teeth an so on,😂😂😂😂I’m not laughing, Pool water is ok for the flushing of the toilet,but keep plenty water in the toilet from the pool,,
Khayalami was small holding farms in the 1980s. We used to go there in the mid 1980 to buy fruits in citrus farms, live sheep and chickens. It was predominantly owned by English farmers. In the early 2000, when property market starts to pick up, there was a lot of housing development. A lot of farmers sold their small holding land for property development in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
U have been duped. Better build your own house in the villages a little far from the cities, go out off the grid, drill your own water and have solar roof and system then u will be ok. Worse is coming to SA, so many off the politicians stealing money and don't give a rat who lacks what. U can see yourself most SA have city houses and village houses to retire in at that's where they grow their own food, have big green water tanks drilled from the ground, have meat and some have solar now that way they don't rely on the gov. Can't trust this old properties. Get wife carry that bucket water in her head like the villagers do. Lol.

Avoid the older estates. The architecture usually tells a story. Your landlord is the one who's supposed to deal with these issues.
I'm offgrid I hv borehole no stress anymore I'm so liberated it's abt self-help or self determination

Khayalami is zulu for , my home
Waterfall has its own municipality that supplies it with services. There's a documentary on the development and the setup there.
Invest on a JOJO tank and water pump then you are sorted
Fren, you from the trenches! Sewerage & Water Board prepared you for this!

Sorry about that Doc. In the Northern Pretoria we are fine
Alright family it's your brother Asad (and I'm Adrian) and we are back with another quick video. Love the intro
I'm so sorry ur going through that,yes no one can live without water
I experienced that here in New Orleans. When the water comes back on, it is brown.
I know and we have boil water advisories
It's because urban planners approve developments without aligning bulk services. 😢
We see the water tanks at Pineslope waiting for you guys to refill

Let's hope the team is busy on the ground fixing the problem
Thanks for the information Asad. We are in the middle of buying a house in Midstream Centurion. They are more careful with infrastructure. Hopefully we will be alright.
Centurion is fine. I live in Centurion , they changed the pipes around 2019 and upgraded everything. The houses are also mostly new or relatively new.
Midstream is top notch
Ants are hard to get rid of. They are attracted to the moisture in your house. Get some ant bait; it works.
Hey Fam have to say it sisi Adrianne has a Bantu DNA in her, pronunciation and accent👌
You guys should invest in a Jojo tank...😅
We live in Northern Cape and it's a necessity over here...

Ugh, the inconvenience! This also happens in NYC sometimes -- old infrastructure.

Choose yo area careful sir because some areas have water outages when the levels drop.
