Every member of a WhatsApp group affiliated to the Randridge Residents’ Association is requested to maintain the decorum of that group so that it may fulfil the purpose of what it was established for.
The primary role of the groups is to notify each other of potential security and suburb related issues in the street on which you live.
This is a collective responsibility to ensure that everyone stays safe. In doing so please abide by the following rules:
- Do not post and have discussions between 9pm to 6am unless it is a security issue.
- Do not spam your street with unnecessary chains and forwarded messages, no matter how relevant you think they may be.
- The groups are unbiased, apolitical and we do not tolerate personal views pertaining to politics, religion, culture or any other person(s) of prominence, and your personal views thereof are not to be shared whatsoever.
- Jokes/quotes or any other irrelevant topics are not allowed.
- Please respect the individual views of all participants and do not exhibit rude behaviour towards other members.
- Do not make statements or begin discussion topics that could be deemed as hurtful towards others.
- Refrain from discussions with a single person.
- Do not argue over matters or belittle anyone, either on or off this group.
Additionally, please take note of the rules to be followed for our Marketing and General Group

Utility issues such as power and water should be checked with the relevant city utility entities. The RRA will assist in escalating issues with regards to utility issues, however, it remains your responsibility to report these issues when and where they occur.
You are ultimately responsible for your own behaviour on these platforms and any behaviour deemed unfit and/or unlawful may have you removed from such group and could potentially have you reported to relevant authorities.
