The Ocean View Property blog and Chas Everitt are happy to bring you the key information for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, including dates and times for every fixture in Australia and New Zealand.
The tournament will be jointly held across Australia and New Zealand in February and March 2015. The first matches will be played in Christchurch and Melbourne on 14 February, with the final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 29 March.
No more confusing PDFs, no more outdated schedules that are almost as frustrating as the power outages themselves – News24 has developed a nifty app that allows you to check exactly when your neighbourhood will be hit by load shedding.
The free web application, Grid Watch allows users to type in their suburb name, and will then churn out an easy-to-understand schedule that shows when your area is set for a power outage, depending on what schedule (Schedule 1, 2, 3A, 3B) Eskom is operating on at the time.
The best part? The app will show you schedules for the next two weeks.
The news site reportedly has plans to develop the app for Android and iOS, so you can check it out on the go.
The new schedules below are designed around the days of the month and reflect Eskom’s decision to implement loadshedding nationally on a regular basis and over weekends. They replace the previous schedules, which were designed around days of the week and were applicable for occasional loadshedding during peak demand times.
Loadshedding stages depend on the extent of the shortage of generation capacity to meet the country’s electricity demand, with stage 1 being the least serious, and stage 3b being the most serious.
Loadshedding outages generally last for about 2,5 hours, with one area being affected at a time during stage 1 and four areas being affected at a time during stage 3b.

Please support the Family Fun Day and Food Drive for Hunger on Saturday, 4 October.
The main reason the Deep South Care2Share Club started was to help families in need who are going through bad times. They would like to be able to help those families with gifts of food.
Care2Share is pleading to the Valley to please help them to make this all come true. They have already managed to help a handful of families and have even managed to find the one mom a job
Please support them by coming on the day to this amazing event and if you bring along a bag of groceries your name will also be put into one of the amazing raffles of your choice!
The Ocean View Property blog and Chas Everitt wish all our Ocean View residents a very happy Heritage Day.
On Heritage Day we are encouraged to celebrate the cultures, belief and traditions that make us proudly South African.
“When our first democratically elected government decided to make Heritage Day one of our national days, we did so because we knew that our rich and varied cultural heritage has a profound power to help build our new nation”. ~ Nelson Mandela
The first ever Bread Run takes place in Ocean View on Sunday 21 September. Bikers will donate loaves of bread to needy families.
The event kicks off at 10:00 at the corner of Hydra and Milky Way, Ocean View.
Instead of attending a church service, congregants of a local church will assist in distributing bread in different areas of the community.
The loaf of bread will be given along with a letter of hope to each family. The aim is to bring hope to a community ravaged with drug addiction, poverty and killings.
National Braai Day and Heritage Day are on Wednesday, 24th September, and Noordhoek Farm Village celebrates both occasions on this proudly South African National Holiday by hosting the increasingly popular annual Heritage Day Potjiekos Challenge at Noordhoek Farm Village, where 11 teams will fight it out for the coveted title of Best Potjie 2014.
Teams will begin cooking from 10h00, with potjies ready by 15h00 for final judging at 16h30, whereafter helpings of the contestants’ delicious potjie offerings will be sold for R30 per bowl. The money we raise will be donated to Open Door NPO in Ocean View, who assist the youth in Ocean View with a dedicated soup kitchen, counselling and activities to keep the kids off the street and safe.
For more information on this year’s potjie entrants and Open Door NPO, follow the link.
There will also be an auction of various goodies at 13h00 to raise funds for Noordhoek Tourism, which provides a valuable service to locals and tourists alike. Come along and see if anything takes your fancy!
Cost: Free entry, however there will be a charge of R30 per bowl of potjie, with proceeds being donated to their chosen charity.
