s another year draws to a close, it’s good to stand back and look at the changes Waterfall has undergone in 2018. With new developments Aconstantly happening, the incremental progressions can often accumulate almost unnoticed. But, once again, Waterfall has seen consolidation and expansion - many of the new office blocks now filled, more homes are being enjoyed by newly-arrived families, the schools are settling into a happy routine and the hospital is so well appreciated and busy that expansion plans are being considered.
Waterfall CEO, Willie Vos, says one downside of all this commercial, retail and residential expansion is the common complaint of traffic congestion. “Many people think the current roads that have been built are the only roads planned, but that is not the case,” he says. “When we started to develop Waterfall, we looked at the traffic plan from a holistic point of view. While roads may be congested at the moment, as we expand, relief will come - within the next three years - with at least two more roads running north- to-south. Both of these will be constructed to the west of the N1 highway,” he notes.
Pedestrians are already appreciating a new gate between Waterfall Country Estate North and the Curro School, which means pupils living on the Estate can now walk to school without leaving the safety of the Estate.
On the housing front, the new Kikuyu development now has 420 units of the planned 1 418 units completed, with two to three years of construction work ahead. Polofields has 500 units occupied or on the market, with a total of 1 012 more units being built over the next three years. The first phase of TheV illas at Waterfall Country Estate is almost completed, with more than 70 of its 88 units finished.
6 Waterfall Issue 12 2018 Some more exciting news is that we can look forward to various new hotels and conferencing facilities being built in Waterfall in the near future. Furthermore, newly-built Waterfall Point, between the Equestrian Estate and Virgin Active Gym, should welcome its first tenants in January 2019. This cluster of four office blocks is expected to fill up quickly.
In less than three years since its opening, Mall of Africa has become an enormously successful venture, attracting the kind of spending that most regional malls only achieve after four years. Vos says some of the retailers have changed as mall management works out what is the best fit for the customers, and the mix is now being fine-tuned. The beautiful Waterfall Park in front of the Mall is being upgraded to cater for fairs and exhibitions and other family- focused events. One of these is the Sunday market – touted as the family-friendliest market in Johannesburg. The Waterfall Market promises to bring you a diverse, curated experience with the finest artisans, makers, bakers and creators in the city. Efforts are also being made to make the Waterfall Wilds shopping centre more family-oriented, and a newly launched putt-putt course is the latest attraction there.
While it’s the new buildings that generally catch our eyes, nature lovers will have noticed that the landscape is improving too. The greenery along Waterfall Drive has changed due to a deliberate decision to feature more water-conscious plants, with indigenous trees and veld grasses being introduced.
On the residential side, the community spirit is growing stronger, Vos says, with the residents’ associations now thoroughly involved in the operational management of their specific areas, and many social events or activities for kids being organised. This has been facilitated by the GO Waterfall app, which allows everybody to keep in touch and hear about events or other news via their smartphones. “The aim of GO Waterfall is to ultimately make people’s lives a lot easier by giving them access to information about what’s happening here, quickly and conveniently,” says Vos. “Some residents can already access their levy and council statements via the app too - that service will gradually be rolled out across all of Waterfall.”
Amazingly, despite all this development, the overall plans for Waterfall are still only about 40% complete, with a significant amount of residential, retail and commercial construction still to come. So as we head into 2019, keep an eye out for further upgrades and developments.

Waterfall Issue 12 2018 23 Waterfall Lifestyle The world’s most famous fish By James Clarke
“Somebody’s just discovered a live dinosaur!” Those were, I always believed, the first words of Professor JLB Smith as he rose from sitting at the breakfast table just after Christmas in 1938. He was staring at a letter in his hand and for some moments stood in stunned silence. It was a letter from an East London woman.
In a few weeks’ time, on January 3, it will be exactly 80 years since that letter arrived at the professor’s holiday home in Knysna – that was the day the story Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer, the East London Museum and the trawler, Nerine, that found the coelacanth of the world’s most famous fish began. The woman, Marjorie Courtenay- Latimer, director of the East London Museum, had written to Smith about a large newly-caught fish she had just retrieved from the city’s fish market. It was her amateurish sketch that riveted his attention.
Smith was puzzled at first but then, from the deep recesses of his memory, he remembered seeing pictures of coelacanth fossils found around the globe over the years, all dated between 420 million and 65 million years. Sixty five million years ago . . . that was when a meteor smacked into the earth causing sun-blocking debris to circle the planet for years, extinguishing the dinosaurs and uncountable numbers of other creatures.
Naturally, it was assumed coelacanths died in ‘The Great Extinction’. Smith’s often quoted remark about the dinosaur was in fact not uttered, Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer’s rough sketch of her unusual ‘limbed’ fish. according to a definitive book
24 Waterfall Issue 12 2018 I thought I knew a bit about the Smiths but as I became absorbed in Bruton’s 344 page book on their private lives – with all its warts, I realised how little I knew about the effect of this spell- binding episode of science history and the impact on their lives. Smith, in some ways, was inexplicably slow in getting to East London to actually see the fish for himself, yet, that January, Admiring the second coelacanth on arrival in the museum (1953). Photo courtesy of NRF/SAIAB he immediately wrote to Courtenay- Latimer saying he strongly suspected she had on her hands a creature that would shake the scientific world. “Zoologically sensational,” he called it.
Smith said it was imperative that she preserved the fish’s organs but the museum director had had nowhere to preserve them and had already thrown them away for they were putrid. It was heroic enough that she, alone, got the human-sized fish (58,6kg) from the harbour to her museum and preserved it.
That day was December 22 1938. Her letter took 12 days to reach JLB. Bruton, with unlimited access to the Smith’s papers, recalled her description of the moment she saw the fish: “I picked away at the layer of slime to JLB with the second fish. This year marks the 50th anniversary of JLB’s death. Photo courtesy of NRF/SAIAB reveal the most beautiful fish I had ever seen.

He was frankly also scared of making an ass of himself. As Bruton says, he realised the find was “utterly fantastic and highly unlikely”. Smith told Courtenay- Latimer, “…my mind still refuses to grasp this tremendous impossibility.”
It proved indeed to be a sensation and rocketed JLB and his wife, Margaret, into a new life. Smith became, in the public’s eye, the world’s most famous ichthyologist.

Waterfall Issue 12 2018 29 Waterfall Motoring Ford Ecosport 1.0L Titanium By Alan Rosenmeyer As often happens, Ford has faced a challenge in updating a top seller and a forerunner in the now crowded crossover/small SUV segment.
he test vehicle duly arrived in top spec Titanium form resplendent in a colour that TFord terms ‘Blue Lightning’. To me this is the epitome of True Blue Ford and really suits the vehicle.
Ford has wisely chosen to retain its multi-award winning EcoBoost engine, with the little 3 cylinder turbo pushing 92kW and 170Nm from its 1.0L capacity. This gives excellent performance and response when the turbo kicks in. A little warning though, enthusiastic driving with the turbo constantly spinning does affect fuel consumption. While sedate cruising at the national speed limit will return around 6L/100km, this can climb very quickly when commuting or just having fun.

I don’t think it’s a novel idea to say that if we think about but at some point it would probably come to a grinding halt, with the CEO possibly taken by surprise. our careers as our business, then we are all the CEOs of our careers. And yet, so many of us tend to treat our Yet I see so many of us treating our careers that way – including myself a few years back. I recall believing that, careers as if we are passive stakeholders in the business, because I worked hard and had been fairly successful taking direction rather than determining our direction. in moving upwards in my career, this would continue and that I would feel fulfilled. I took opportunities f the CEO of a company had no vision for the direction where they presented themselves (in retrospect largely of the business, and had no grasp on the resources when no one else wanted the opportunity), but with at hand to achieve that vision, the business wouldn’t no particular strategic vision of where my career was Igo very far, would it? It might manage for a while, headed. And at some point I started to feel really stuck.
34 Waterfall Issue 12 2018 for me that was mind-shifting and ultimately led to my taking control of my career as my business again. The mind-set shift had a lot to do with seeing my career as a collection of experiences that had been building on each other, rather than a chronology of upward progressions.
I realised that I needed to completely rewrite my story. And once I could rewrite my story for myself, and for my career, I would be able to reposition myself for work that I wanted to be doing, rather than the work I felt I was limited to doing.
A few years later, and in the midst of an entirely new career story, I find myself surrounded by people who are also eager to make career changes but haven’t a clue in what direction. These people are my clients. Many of them come to me wanting assistance in writing their CVs and updating their LinkedIn profiles – the trouble is, in so many instances, they have no idea how or where to position themselves. They have no idea what they want their next move to be.
So often they say: “I don’t want to be an XYZ any more, but I am only qualified to be an XYZ.” Yes, old me would have related to that! In most instances, long before we work on their CVs we start having a conversation that helps them to see the richness of their experiences and competencies rather than the history of all the positions they have held.
In Up is not the Only Way: Rethinking Career Mobility, the authors (Beverly Kaye, Lindy Williams and Lynn Cowart) suggest looking at our careers through a kaleidoscope rather than a telescope – in other words, seeing an array of options where previously we saw a linear view. They proceed to mention that when looking through a kaleidoscope (in which only three mirrors create the myriad of patterns), what we are seeing are the varying combinations of career options created by the intersect between our competencies, values and interests.
So if you find that your career is in a rut, that you have stepped out of your career’s driving seat, and you are wanting to get your career on track in 2019, perhaps consider these questions:
