the residents in their desperateness, wants to meet the government halfway by building their own houses. This will also alleviate the global housing dilemma fostering and embracing a culture of ownership that is much needed in communities. The community are continually expanding and with no new housing foresights, intense density will be the result. Increased density of communities can lead to inadequacy of basic municipal services, and exhaustion of existing infrastructure networks. The capacity to utilise toilets, taps, and drains per household can stretch the utilisation ability of the existing infrastructure. Anecdotally there is a serious concern around the topic of overcrowding and additional strain on infrastructure. At the beginning of democracy in South Africa, the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP), kicked-off with its first priority – to meet the basic needs of people. Nelson Mandela appealed to all future government leaders to honour these principles. These priorities are vital to enable reconstruction of family life in all societies. It can also be regarded as a foundation towards democracy as the constitution of South Africa states that no one may be deprived of property except in terms of law and general application. Are these fundamental RDP principles still

honoured? Are people still a priority? These questions ultimately became driving factors that`s taking this once patient and peaceful town to an area having various protest actions, as was seen on 27 July 2020 and on previous occasions. Residents were expressing their severe anguish as it seems that all the municipality is doing is calling meetings and collect names to put on lists, and no one ever knows what happens to those registers. Are these registers merely a technique to calm residents? Should municipalities not instead display transparency by continuously updating residents about developments? The Minister of the Department of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation, Lindiwe Sisulu, recently stated, that “decent housing is not a privilege, but a right” and to provide people with houses will restore their dignity. So, is the community of Mamre waiting to be honoured, or is this the situation as an end result for our residents to embrace? - Marshé Passenz is a concerned resident and student at the University of the Western Cape, specialising in local government issues and challenges

HAVE YOUR SAY! DRAFT INCLUSIVE ECONOMIC GROWTH STRATEGY (IEGS) The City of Cape Town is in the process of finalising its Draft Inclusive Economic Growth Strategy (IEGS). The IEGS is a high-level strategy aimed at achieving long-term inclusive economic growth through addressing a wide range of economic challenges that are felt at a national level, which include inadequate growth of the local economy, widespread unemployment, and worsening inequality – as well as the compounding impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Inclusive economic growth is the only path to recovery from the deeply felt impacts of these challenges and the pandemic, as well as to achieve a better standard of living and more dignity for Capetonians. This strategy therefore seeks to address the challenges faced by the formal and informal economy alike, as well as to cater for large and small businesses and even entrepreneurs. It is crucial that members of the public be afforded the opportunity to consider the draft strategy and give their input. Notice is hereby given in terms of section 17 of the Local Government Municipal Systems Act (“the Act”) that Council, who intends to adopt the Draft Inclusive Economic Growth Strategy in terms of section 11(3)(a) of the Act, is hereby affording the public and interested parties or groups opportunity to submit comments, recommendations or inputs on this to the municipality from 14 August 2020 to 14 October 2020. Any comments submitted after this date may not be considered. Comments, inputs or recommendations in respect of this draft strategy may be submitted by: • •

E-mail: iegs@capetown.gov.za Website: www.capetown.gov.za/haveyoursay

Special assistance will be given to people who cannot read or write or to people with disabilities and/or other disadvantaged groups to have their inputs or comments recorded and submitted to the municipality. Telephonic enquiries relating to this draft strategy may be directed to Alex Tarr at 021 400 1689 or email at iegs@capetown.gov.za. The Draft Inclusive Economic Growth Strategy will be available for viewing on the City of Cape Town website: www.capetown.gov.za/haveyoursay only for the noted commenting period.

Exciting water-project taking shape at Reygersdal Primary MEGAN MAVOSA

E AfriBusiness, a company specializing in water conservation, renewable energy and agriculture, recently launched an innovative water purification pilot project at Reygersdal Primary. The first of its kind in South Africa, the exciting initiative could pave the way for similar initiatives in Atlantis and immediate vicinity. WaterKiosk is a project that turns borehole water into purified water and made fit for human consumption. CEO, Bradley Chetty, says they have done these types of projects all over Africa, especially East Africa, but this is going to be the first of its kind in South Africa. “Reygersdal has the privilege of being the first school to get a

project like this,” he explained with excitement. The aim is for the school to sell the water to the public at very affordable prices. Furthermore, a recycling system will enable the school to use excess ground water for ablution facilities. Solar panels will also be installed to assist in generating electricity for the system. Reygersdal will benefit in many ways, i.e. from the income of water-sales, site rental, electricity from the solar panels and water from the ablution facility. The school was chosen after Lentino Dirks (an ex- learner) wanted to plough back into the school and community he comes from. Dirks is now a bookkeeper for the company. “Any school needs funds to enable them to give the best to every single learner. There are so many benefits

Only the beginning for talented Tylin

megan mavosa

very celebrity started somewhere, and this is just the beginning for the new rising star of Atlantis. At the end of June this year Tylin De Kock (34) successfully released his single called ‘Hold on’, which is based on a real-life story. De Kock was born and raised in Atlantis and continued to follow his dream of becoming a music artist. His music genre, which is RnB/Hip Hop, might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but his song is one that many can relate to. Although his role model is Curtis Jackson (better known as 50 cent), he admits that his true support has always been his family and friends. “Just keep on being creative and build your network and followers, so that you can expand and gain that support from the community. Always work hard do your best in your craft,” is his advice to those who also want to get into the music industry. Fans can find his exciting track on http://www.reverbnation.com/tmc1, SoundCloud:Tylin De Kock and Facebook Page: Tmc1.

Lawon is the name, athletics is her game MONIQUE HANSEN

eet Lawon Hill. Besides her love for cars, and many other hobbies, her passion for athletics shines brighter than any other. “Seven days a week on the track brings me closer to my dreams,” future professional athlete, she says.

Hill said if her previous school had not forced her to do a sports activity in Grade 9, she would have never been where she is now. What started off as a forced decision, opened many doors for this young and talented athlete. Now she holds the 2017 and 2018 zone championship title in the 100m and 200m competition, and with that Being the eldest female amongst all also receiving her Western Province her younger nieces, inspiring them school colours. Her career took a and showing them that as a female huge turn when she was diagnosed you can accomplish anything and with asthma, restricting her from everything, is what she is constantly running.

do is to study physiotherapy, and ‘go pro’ with my athletics while I am at it,” Hill explained. In the midst of Women’s month, Hill was asked the question, ‘what does it mean to be a woman?’ She answered: “Being a woman is a privilege on its own, being a woman means being able to be powerful, assertive and yet kind at the same time. It means being compassionate and vulnerable towards those we love without feeling weak for doing so. It means striving for our goals even in the face of adversity women face along the way, and being able to use my privilege to give others a home, education and an opportunity to be the best versions of themselves. This is what I am aiming to do in the future.”
