Please exercise care if you are planning on flying north of the northern Magaliesberg ridge! ## ##

There is a lot of low level SAAF/SAPS helicopter activity (Pumas, etc.) due to the unrest on the platinum mines.

Exercise caution north of the ridge!! The Marikana hotspot will probably be around for a while to come!

Make those radio calls more frequently than usual and keep your eyes peeled!!
