On Sunday 2 November the Redhouse Yacht Club hosted a number of ex-commodores at a luncheon to celebrate RYC's 110 year anniversary.

This as the country experienced rolling blackouts at the weekend after one of the silos at the Majuba power station in Mpumalanga cracked and later collapsed on Saturday. The silo had housed over 10 000 tons of coal. Work at Majuba, said the utility, has progressed better than expected with teams working non-stop since the …
