Magaliessig Action Forum

It has come to our attention that some residents who have been trying to make donations to the MAF account which we listed in the February newsletter have been experiencing problems.

Do you want a Makro to be built in the proposed location in Magaliessig, Fourways? Please take part in our survey to give your views.

Should the proposed Makro be built many residents and business people in Magaliessig, Lonehill, Fourways and surrounding areas will feel the impact of increased traffic in their suburbs and on their major work routes. Parts of these suburbs already suffer from major traffic congestion and some of the roads are already in a bad condition due to heavy traffic for which they were not designed.

The Magaliessig Action Forum recently received an email from Sara, a new resident in Magaliessig who has been struggling with very poor Vodacom 3G coverage in our suburb. She has discovered that according to the Vodacom Coverage map, part of Magaliessig falls into a “dead zone”.

Having spoken to the support team at Vodacom, she has learnt that if we can get enough people who are battling the same issue to complain about the signal strength, Vodacom may be able to do something to increase their 3G coverage in Magaliessig.

If you are also struggling with poor Vodacom 3G signal in Magaliessig, please email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and we will forward your details to Sara, who will contact you about adding your name to a list of residents that she would like to hand to Vodacom.
