In commemoration of Heritage Month Macassar launched a groundbreaking community storybook celebrating unity, cultural diversity and social cohesion.
“The one-of-a-kind book offers the ordinary person’s perspective of their hometown and focuses on celebrating the making of contemporary culture by unexpected people and places,” shared Clint Abrahams, senior lecturer at the University of Cape Town, professional architect and Macassar native.
According to Abrahams the community storybook, Macassar: An Anthology of Stories, builds on two award-winning projects conducted in Macassar, an exhibition and the refurbishment of a local shack for storytelling and other community gatherings.
It all started when 20 youngsters came together under Abrahams’ guidance for a street
photography project in 2018. The aim was to challenge deeply ingrained perceptions of Macassar and inspire residents to embrace responsible citizenship. The exhibition, “Macassar: Who We Are,” showcased photographs from the community, sparking conversations among residents.
The installation was spread across three local sites: the Macassar Library, Thomas Adonis’ shack (known locally as Bong’s Inn or Bong se Yard), and Paul Swartz’s home in Ring Avenue. Adonis’ shack’s leaking
roof led to a community-driven refurbishment project involving students and staff from UCT, CPUT, RWTH Aachen, and PBSA Dusseldorf, Germany.
These projects, underpinned by academic research, earned Abrahams numerous accolades, including the UCT Creative Works Award in 2019 and the UCT Social Responsiveness Award in 2022.
“The refurbishment of Adonis’ shack created a vital gathering space for community events” shared Abrahams. “During the Covid-19 pandemic it became an
important site for memorial services. It has also become an architectural reference for UCT BAS students, offering fresh perspectives on community architecture.”
“The street photography project serves as a crucial visual archive, capturing a pivotal time in Macassar’s development. The storybook chronicles the township’s history through the experiences of its residents, facilitating both healing and envisioning a better future.
The book emphasises the significance of Sandvlei, Die
Kramat, and the Deep Freeze communities in Macassar’s culture. The stories reference the Khoi, Shaykh Yusuf, the old Zandvliet Farm, and the origins of the Deep Freeze army camp. The storytellers include Enid Adonis, Thomas Adonis, Owen Amsterdam, Abdusalaam Benjamin, Jan Booysen, Saul Claasen, Anita Constable, Colin Davids, Peter Davids, Taliep Edwards, Rosaline Etson, Hester Geduld, Shirleen Hopley, Jonathan Isaacs, Sophia Jantjies, Sophie Mack, Paul Swartz, Daniel van Wyk, Mario van Wyk, Ruben Wilson, September Wilson, Carl Wilters and Abrahams himself. Other contributors are Thys Abrahams, Shahied Alexander, Eileen Booysen, Allie Edwards, Boet Hendry, Martin Hopley, Ebrahim Rhoda, Sydney Samuels, and Mervyn Speelman.
Illustrations were completed by UCT students Rayhaan Hamed, Shaye Ramsey, Aydan Wiggill, and Khiara Singh.

All protocols were observed on Thursday (26 September) as Sir Lowry’s Pass received its very own Victim Friendly Room (VFR). The room was opened to provide victims, especially those affected by genderbased violence, a safe haven and place of refuge.
According to Sergeant Suzan Jantjies, the programme director for the launch, victims of sensitive crimes in the community previously had to travel over 10 km to the nearest facility at Somerset West Police Station.
The room will provide a place the community can access when they wish to speak to someone about a sensitive matter.
Before, they would have to speak to a police officer in the open corridors of the station.
The room will be supported by five volunteers, who will receive victims and lend them a valuable ear. This will hopefully allow the victim to build up enough courage to open a case.
The opening of the VFR began with a meet-and-greet where guests exchanged pleasantries, followed by a warm welcome from Captain Charles Riffel, station commander of the satellite police station in Sir Lowry’s Pass. The event commenced with a prayer by Pastor Cedric Pekeur and a welcome address by Vispol commander for Somerset West police, Lieutenant Colonel JP du Toit. “This is a beautiful place, but crime is still evident,” stated Du Toit, who spoke on why a VFR was so important for Sir Lowry’s Pass.
Riffel read the Police Code of Conduct. Its importance was made clear,
especially why it was imperative for the police to serve the community.
The crowd was then addressed by provincial gender-based violence coordinator Lieutenant-Colonel Tasswell Paulse.
He said the Code of conduct gave the police a blueprint for assisting the community, and the VFR was an extension of this.
The keynote speech was made by Brigadier Mnoneleli Magobiyane, who emphasised the need for the police to follow their mandate as well as preserving the victim’s dignity.
He referenced the Constitution, particularly how it laid the rights of victims out, and the room was a way to
uphold those rights.
“When victims are ready the facilities should be available,” said Magobiyane.
At 11:00 the room was finally open for communal use and Station Commander of Somerset West, Colonel Jacolize Fleischmann thanked all of the guests for attending. The police’s provincial band ended the festivities with celebratory music.
Former councillor and elder in Sir Lowry’s Pass John Brits said the room was a welcome addition to the community and was pleased that there was a place where victims of genderbased violence could open cases.
“It’s quite nice to be alive to see this,” concluded Brits.
A complex emergency rescue was carried out at Dappat Se Gat, near Kogel Bay along Clarence Drive (R44) last Friday afternoon (27 September). The operation involved rescuing a man who had fallen down the rocks and could be reached only by harness. He was lifted to safety and found to have sustained only minor bruises. It is believed the man pulled over to the side of the road and walked to the edge to admire the view when he slipped and fell. He was treated on the scene.

The storybook was launched on Sunday 15 September. The afternoon launch event featured special guest writer Diana Ferrus, who collaborated on storytelling workshops using her poem “Ons Komvandaan.” Another guest of honour was Stellenbosch University’s Professor Jonathan Jansen, who wrote the foreword for the book, emphasising that humans actively shape their own stories despite colonial and apartheid legacies.
“The book encourages readers to view Macassar differently, showcasing how it is continuously reshaped by ordinary people,” said Abrahams.
The event included readings by the storytellers, a Q&A session led by Ferrus, and the unveiling of a temporary exhibition curated by Abrahams, with storytelling music directed by Lionel Konstabel. Those attending were invited to visit the exhibition in the shack documenting the making of the book.
Asked about the impact of the storybook, Abrahams said: “The book has already impacted the community through its archival process and rebuilding of important community places. It enables the experiences of Macassar to be accessible to a broader audience and connects Macassar to important historical events.
“The book is a framework that can develop over time to become a more comprehensive account of Macassar experiences. It also offers insights to inspire other communities to embark on their own storytelling projects.”
Abrahams highlighted future plans, including promoting the book, recognising the storytellers as key contributors to Macassar’s archival memory, distributing it to Western Cape libraries and exploring creative ways to present the book to a broader audience.

Die nuwe buurtwag van Casablanca, Strand, is ten volle aan die gang en kragtig teenwoordig terwyl hulle teen misdaad in die woongebied staan. Hulle glo genoeg is genoeg, aangesien die gemeenskap te lank onder geweld en dwelmmisbruik gebuk gaan.
Die lede van die nuutgevormde Casablanca-buurtwag patrolleer die strate as die nuwe oë en ore van owerhede – gewapen met hul onlangs verkrygde sigbaarheidstoerusting.
Die ontstaan van die buurtwag was belangrik weens die gruwelike misdaad wat die Casablanca-gemeenskap onlangs getref het – hoofsaaklik die verkragting van ’n bejaarde vrou deur haar kleinseun (“Ouma, 71, sterf ná verkragting”, DistriksPos & Helderberg Gazette, 28 Augustus), asook die noodlottige ongeluk in Broadlandsweg oorkant die woongebied (“Voetganger omgery in tref-en-trap”, 18 September).
voorsitter van die buurtwag, “was die gemeenskap moeg vir wat in die gebied gebeur het”.

Die brand was enkele meter ver van ’n informele struktuur wat deur ’n hawelose egpaar beset is. Volgens ’n woordvoerder van die Stad Kaapstad se brandweer-en-reddingsdienste, Jermaine Carelse, is die brand aangemeld as plantegroei wat gebrand het. Geen formele of informele eiendomme is weens die brand beskadig nie en die oorsaak van die brand is onbekend. “Namate die somer in die Helderberg nader kom, kan die Stad nie voorspel wat kan gebeur nie, maar ’n toename in plantegroei-brande word altyd in die somer ervaar,” het Carelse gesê.

Die buurtwag het aan die begin van 2024 as ’n WhatsApp-groep begin waar inwoners inligting oor nuusgebeure en misdaad in die gebied gedeel het. Dit was nadat die gemeenskap beweer het dat hulle ’n string vuurwapengeweld en dwelmverkope ervaar en gesien het. Volgens Charles Matesepe, die
’n Reeks vergaderings tussen verskeie belanghebbendes, insluitend die Strandpolisie, Strand se Gemeenskapspolisiëringsforum en die Casablancagemeenskap, is in Februarie belê. Die proses om ’n buurtwag in Casablanca op die been te bring, het met die hulp van die koördineerder van die buurtwagte in Strand, Lillian Albertyn, begin. “Casablanca was weens die bendegeweld moeilik om ’n buurtwag te vestig, maar ons het volhard,” het Albertyn gesê.
Die groep is uiteindelik in Julie deur die departement van
gemeenskapsveiligheid geakkrediteer, maar weens die reënval tydens die hoogtepunt van die winter kon hulle nie gereelde patrollies doen nie. Met die somer wat voorlê, het die buurtwag sy tyd geneem om getalle te konsolideer en roetes uit te stippel. Die eenheid, wat nou 15 lede sterk is en patrollies wat drie keer per dag plaasvind, is gereed om Casablanca tot die beste van sy vermoë te dien.
“Ons is altyd oop vir enigiemand wat by ons wil aansluit sodat ons almal saam kan werk om ons gemeenskap veiliger te hou, ons kinders in ’n veilige omgewing kan grootword en ons vreedsaam saam kan leef,” sluit Matesepe af.
Beach-lowering programme begins
The City of Cape Town initiated its annual beach-lowering programme on Tuesday (1 October). This process, which involves reprofiling or lowering the beach, is crucial for maintaining stability in altered coastal systems and managing windblown sand. The work will take place from Fish Hoek to Muizenberg and Gordon’s Bay to Bikini Beach. Lowering the beach-sand levels allows more areas of the beach to become wet during high tides, reducing the risk of windblown sand affecting nearby roads and infrastructure. The goal is to complete the work before the festive season to ensure beachgoers can enjoy their visits without hindrance. Locally, the specific beaches to be lowered include Gordon’s Bay Beach (from the Spur restaurant to the end of the parking area in the north) and Bikini Beach (the entire length of the beach). The work is expected to be completed by Friday 8 November, ahead of the summer wind season to minimise windblown sand issues. While beach access will remain open users are advised to stay clear of the machinery for safety.
Altesaam 32 kwalifiserende begunstigdes het verlede Donderdag (26 September) die sleutels van hul huise ontvang as deel van die Stad Kaapstad se mega-behuisingsprojek in Macassar.
Die R800-miljoen-projek, wat uit 2 469 huise sal bestaan nadat dit voltooi is, het ’n aantal uitdagings ervaar, insluitend geweld en betogings. Hierdie uitdagings is opgelos en die Stad doen ’n beroep op gemeenskapslede om die raad te help om die suksesvolle voltooiing van die vlagskipprojek te verseker.
“Die Macassarbehuisingsprojek vorder goed met sowat 381 eenhede wat tans in aanbou is met die eerste groepe eenhede reeds voltooi. Fase 1 sal uit 605 eenhede bestaan en hierdie fase sal na verwagting teen Junie 2025 voltooi wees, as alles volgens plan verloop. Die Stad sal mettertyd kommunikeer oor die vordering en tydlyne vir Fase 2 en 3. Die Stad het tot nou meer as R200 miljoen aan die projek bestee,” het die lid van die burgemeesterskomiteelid vir menslike nedersettings, raadslid Carl Pophaim, gesê. Hy het verduidelik dat die projek ’n aantal kompleksiteite ervaar het, insluitend afpersingspogings, geweld en betogings, en dat die Stad alles
saam met die lid van die burgemeesterskomitee vir
nedersettings,
in sy vermoë doen om behuisingsgeleenthede aan die mees kwesbares te bied. “Ons lewer behuisingsgeleenthede ten spyte van hierdie uiterste uitdagings. Macassar is ’n voorbeeld van hoe die Stad bedreigings deur afpersers oorkom en vasstaan in sy verbintenis om behuising te lewer. Ons spanne bly toegewyd om die Macassar-projek so gou as moontlik vir die begunstigdes en hul gesinne te voltooi,” het hy gesê. “Dankie aan ons gemeenskappe, die Stadspanne en projekbetrokkenheidskomitee vir die harde werk en toewyding om hierdie projek te voltooi en die regmatige begunstigdes in hul nuwe huise te laat intrek.
Ons bedank veral diegene in die gemeenskap wat die projek beskerm het en verseker het dat hierdie sleutels vandag oorhandig kon word. Dit is die begin van ’n nuwe pad van moontlikhede vir hierdie projek.”
Begunstigdes van die Stad se behuisingsprojekte word gekies in ooreenstemming met die Stad se behuisingstoewysingsbeleid en behuisingsbehoefteregister om te verseker dat behuisingsgeleenthede op ’n regverdige en deursigtige wyse beskikbaar gestel word, wat indruk voor ander mense voorkom, en vir diegene wat kwalifiseer vir behuising ingevolge SuidAfrikaanse wetgewing.

One of the most iconic BBC comedies of all time is coming to The Playhouse Theatre in Somerset West this month!
Prepare for a laugh-a-minute experience filled with silly accents and unforgettable ridiculous quotes. And, of course, the priceless portrait of the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies hidden inside a sausage. Join in on German- and French-themed evenings, when audiences enjoy snacks, a drink, and the opportunity to dress up!
’Allo ’Allo! stands alongside such classics as Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, and Blackadder as a late 20th-century British television masterpiece, now brought to the stage by the original screenwriters David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd.
“If you love British farce, clever dialogue and ludicrously funny characters, you’ll love ’Allo ’Allo!,” reckons Sam West, Playhouse Theatre chairperson.
Café owner René Artois narrates the story as he tries to keep his business afloat during the German occupation. Running a café in wartime France is no easy task, especially when you have to juggle affairs with waitresses Mimi and Yvette, keep them a secret from each other and your wife Edith, and hide both the original and the forgery of the priceless portrait of the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies in separate
sausages, all the while evading Herr Flick of the Gestapo. Not to mention hiding British airmen for Michelle of the Resistance and staying in the good graces of local German and Italian commanders, Von Strohm and Bertorelli. And now, Hitler himself is coming to visit…
“If you’ve grown up watching this show, as I did (or if you haven’t), you will want to find out where you can watch the TV series. Because once you’ve watched this live performance you’ll be begging for so much more.”
The show will be staged at the
theatre venue located on the corner of Swalle Street and Lourensford Road at 19:30 on Friday 11 October; 15:00 on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 October; 19:30 on Thursday 17 and Friday 18 October; 15:00 on Saturday 19 October; and 19:30 on Saturday 12 and 19 October.
The show has an age restriction of PG 16. Tickets are available on Webtickets, with prices ranging from R100 to R195, including special themed evenings and early bird discounts.

But last year the two came together and pitched the idea of amalgamate the teams under the banner of Sir Lowry’s Pass FC and evolve into a competitive force on the local football scene by joining the Helderberg Local Football Association league.
This process was successful, their having joined the Helderberg LFA in 2023. The club’s decision to participate in the league was a significant step forward, providing its players with the opportunity to compete at a higher level.
“Joining the Helderberg LFA has been a great experience for our club,” said Pietersen, the team manager.
“It has given our players the chance to test themselves against some of the best teams in the region.”

Despite their success, Sir Lowry’s Pass Village FC faces several challenges. The club is self-funded and relies on the support of the community to continue its operations. They are in need of more players, volunteers, equipment and resources to ensure the club’s long-term sustainability.
“We need more people to get involved and help us grow,” Pietersen said. “We’re always looking for new players and volunteers to join our team.”
The club’s long-term goal is to join the Tygerberg Football Association, a larger and more competitive league. To achieve this they need to continue developing their players and building a strong foundation for the future.
“We’re excited about what the future holds for Sir Lowry’s Pass Village FC,” Mc Donald said. “With the support of our community, we believe we can achieve great things.”

Helderberg Rugbyklub het Saterdag (28 September) in die Charles Morkel-stadion in die Gold Cup ’n betreklik maklike sege oor Kimberley behaal met ses drieë en die eindtelling van 38-0.
Hiermee dring die klub deur na die laaste agt in die kompetisie. Hierdie sukses is bereik sonder verskeie eerstekeusespelers asook verlede week se driekunsheld Ricardo Links (beseer) en Erhard Lambrecht en Quinn Visser. Die regtervleuel, Jodi Koul, het in die
11de minuut na binne gespeel nadat sy senter Quiwen Bauman vir die openingsdrie, verdoel deur sy kaptein en skrumskakel, Michael Visser, gesorg het. Die besoekers se verdediging was taai, maar hulle was planloos.
In die 32ste minuut en ná goeie spel van haker Adriaan Groenewald en flank Blaine Skelton is linkervleuel Jayden Daniels in besit gestel om in die hoek af te rond (12-0).
In die laaste oomblikke van die eerste helfte het Koul op Kimberley se 22-lyn onderskep en onder die pale geduik. Visser het maklik verdoel (19-0).
In die 50ste minuut en ná algehele
oorheersing van die tuisspan se agttal, het Visser in Castle Corner oorgeduik (24-0).
Sewe minute later het die agsteman, Jady Labuschagne, ’n losbal gewen en van die 10-meter-lyn af deurgehardloop en onder die pale gedruk vir nog ’n eenvoudige doelskop vir Visser (31-0).
Visser, die argitek van die wedstryd, het in die 68ste minuut in gietende reën deurgebreek vir nog ’n drie, wat hy self verdoel het vir ’n 18-punte-bydrae tot die 38-0-eindtelling.
. Saterdag speel Berge weer tuis, danksy a groter punteverskil as hul teenstander, Centurion.
