SeekoeiEstuaryCausewayreopensaftermultimillion-randupgrade
IN a milestone moment for Kouga, the Seekoei Estuary Causeway, the vital link between Aston Bay and Paradise Beach, officially reopened in full on 14 October, following a multi-million-rand upgrade
After years of storm damage and months of determined effort, the long-awaited project has been successfully completed for the residents of Kouga, restoring a safe, reliable and resilient connection between the two coastal neighbourhoods
Construction of the causeway commenced in late March 2025, with Kouga Local Municipality investing R9 3 million in the project
Of this amount, R7 5 million was funded through the Municipal Disaster Recovery Grant (MDRG), while R2 2 million was sourced from the municipality's internal funds
The project aimed to transform the previously vulnerable low-water bridge into a safer, more robust, and long-lasting crossing
Acausewayrebuilt
Originally constructed in 1973 and last upgraded in 1994, the newly enhanced causeway now features a modern design with reinforced concrete pavement, larger culverts, and advanced erosion protection
These upgrades have greatly improved stormwater flow, strength, and durability, all achieved without altering the natural flood lines of the estuary
Kouga Executive Mayor Hattingh Bornman said, "The reopening of the causeway marks the reconnection of a community "
"For months, our residents have shown patience and resilience amid
inconvenience and uncertainty On 14 October, we fulfilled our commitment to restoring safe and reliable access, with infrastructure built to serve and endure for generations to come "
Builtforresilience
The reconstruction went far beyond routine repairs
Under the consulting services of JG Afrika and the expertise of LRC Civils CC, the project included replacing the old asphalt surface with reinforced concrete, installing four new precast culvert sets to enhance water flow, and fortifying the structure against erosion and storm surges Additional safety features, including improved road markings, signage and streetlights, were in-
stalled, while hydraulic upgrades reduced flooding risks and minimised the project's impact on the sensitive estuarine ecosystem
"Together, these measures have transformed the causeway into a stronger, more durable lifeline for residents, businesses, and visitors alike," said Bornman
Lookingahead
While the upgraded design significantly enhances durability, the causeway remains a low-water bridge due to infrastructure limitations in the surrounding area, meaning it may still be overtopped during extreme conditions Raising the structure above the 1:100-year floodline, currently benchmarked at the Zon-en-Zee apartments, is not feasible under existing regulatory
requirements
Nevertheless, the causeway's resilience has been substantially improved, ensuring that it will better withstand the natural forces that have tested it for decades "Today's reopening is a celebration of perseverance by our engineers, our teams, and our residents," said Bornman
"The causeway has weathered many storms Now, it stands ready to serve our community once again "
Backgroundinformation
The causeway has endured more than half a century of wind, tide, and storms Since its construction in 1973, the low-lying structure has faced repeated flooding and closures that cut off Paradise Beach from the rest of Jef-
freys Bay
In early 2013, following months of torrential rain and rising water in the estuary, the causeway suffered structural damage and had to be closed for almost three months while flood repairs were carried out
It reopened later that year, but the pattern of flooding would continue
By August 2017, unusually high seas again submerged the crossing, leaving residents stranded and forcing the municipality to seek emergency approval to breach the estuary mouth
That authorisation came at the end of September 2017, after the causeway had spent weeks underwater
Six years later, in September 2023, the causeway was hit by another severe combination of equinox spring tides and gale-force winds, which tore at its structure and left visible cracks and erosion
In October 2023, the event was classified as a National Disaster in terms of Section 23 of the Disaster Management Act 57 of 2002 following the impact of severe weather in the Eastern Cape
The damage was so extensive that it became the catalyst for the reconstruction
Even during the recent upgrade, nature continued to test the project's resolve
On 22 September 2025, high winds and high spring tides flooded the construction site, delaying the final stages of work
But the recovery was swift – a single lane was reopened to traffic on 10 October, and on 14 October, the fully reconstructed causeway was ready to welcome motorists again

KougawinsbestperformingmunicipalityinEasternCape
RISING above the rest, Kouga Local Municipality has been named South Africa’s best in the Eastern Cape, clinching the 2025 Municipal Performance Award at the South African Property Owners Association (SAPOA) Annual Convention, held at Sun City recently
Kouga Local Municipality earned this top honour for its outstanding performance during the 2023/24 financial year, topping the charts in the Eastern Cape
The accolade was based on Ratings Afrika’s Municipal Financial Sustainability Index (MFSI®), which measures the financial health, stability, and sustainability of South Africa’s 115 largest municipalities
The recognition formed part of the inaugural SAPOA | Ratings Afrika Municipal Performance Awards, launched in partnership with the Banking Association of South Africa (BASA), to celebrate municipalities that demonstrate excellence in governance, fiscal
discipline and service delivery
Kouga Executive Mayor, Hattingh Bornman, emphasised that while the award recognises Kouga as the best municipality in the Eastern Cape, the municipality aspires to rank among the top in South Africa
“We are proud of what we have achieved, but we also acknowledge that there is still work to be done and that everything is not yet perfect
Our municipality’s stability has been a key factor in our progress, and consistent, steady governance under our current majority leadership has allowed us to plan and deliver effectively for our communities,” said Bornman
“This award also highlights the importance of stable governance Consistent leadership enables effective planning and execution, benefiting all residents While we celebrate this milestone, we remain committed to continuous improvement and to reaching even greater heights nationally ”
According to Ratings Afrika, most munic-
ipalities recorded R35,3 billion in operating deficits last year, with liquidity shortfalls rising to R104 9 billion
Kouga, however, managed to maintain financial stability and deliver services sustainably to its residents
Bornman described the award as a milestone achievement for the municipality and its people
“This award is a celebration of our residents and the trust they place in us,” he said
“Everything we do is guided by the needs of our communities Their support, engagement, and resilience are what make achievements like this possible, and this recognition highlights what can be accomplished when residents are placed at the centre of every decision
“This is a victory not just for the municipality, but for every resident of Kouga who trusts us to serve them We will continue to build on this foundation of excellence ”

EmpoweringKouga’stownshipentrepreneursthroughdigitalskills
EXCITEMENT filled the air at the Halalisana Township Incubator in Humansdorp as 25 township-based entrepreneurs gathered for a Digital Marketing and Branding Training session hosted by the Kouga Local Municipality’s Economic Development Unit
The initiative forms part of the municipality’s ongoing drive to equip local small businesses with the skills they need to thrive in an increasingly digital economy
Each entrepreneur arrived with a dream – to grow their business and expand their reach What awaited them was a workshop that promised to reshape how they saw both their businesses and the vast digital world around them
Earlier workshops, hosted in partnership with the Eastern Cape Development Corporation
(ECDC) and SEDFA, had focused on business administration and financial management Participants learned to use record-keeping tools such as SMEasy, an accounting software for which the ECDC subsidised their first subscription
However, as the sessions progressed, a shared challenge became clear: while many of the entrepreneurs offered excellent products and services, most struggled to make their voices heard online The digital marketplace – vast, fast-moving and full of potential – felt out of reach
To bridge that gap, the Digital Marketing and Branding Training was designed as a practical, hands-on learning experience that brought the digital economy within reach for township entrepreneurs
Inside the training room, the en-
ergy was infectious Participants immersed themselves in a range of topics, including:
• Digital Branding and Marketing Fundamentals
• Social Media and LinkedIn Optimisation
• Graphic Design using Canva
• AI Tools for Content Creation and Automation
• Website Building using AI-Powered Platforms
Each session was practical and engaging, allowing entrepreneurs to apply what they learned in real time With laptops open and ideas flowing, they experimented with creating social media content, designing promotional material, and building brand identities suited for online audiences
For many, the experience was transformative

MARCIA BOYENS
SUPERTUBES now has a new symbol of pride A striking sign has been unveiled at the site, celebrating both Jeffreys Bay’s surfing heritage and the local artistry that helped create it
The project, led by the JBay Surf Alliance (JBSA) in partnership with the Kouga Municipality, forms part of an ongoing effort to protect and beautify the town’s beaches and public spaces For JBSA, caring for our town’s natural treasures means more than preservation; it’s about creating places that reflect the heart and spirit of the community
At the centre of the new sign are two remarkable local talents: craftsman Robbie Ponting and the late artist Stephen Bibb Robbie’s innovative bamboo
structure has transformed what could have been a simple marker into a piece of enduring functional art
Traditional materials such as steel or wood would struggle against the coastal elements, but the bamboo-inspired design promises to last for decades with little maintenance
“Robbie is one of the most talented craftsmen in the world,” says Cheron, co-founder of JBSA “His understanding of materials and his craftsmanship are exceptional; it’s a privilege to know him ”
Adding an emotional layer to the project is the sign’s artwork, the final painting by Stephen Bibb, one of Jeffreys Bay’s most loved artists
Known for capturing the soul of JBay through surfboards, murals and clothing designs, Bibb’s work has long reflected the
town’s creative heartbeat He completed the Supertubes artwork just days before his passing
The collaboration between Robbie and Stephen has left behind a lasting legacy, a landmark that now welcomes locals and visitors alike with both beauty and meaning
“Supertubes is precious,” says Cheron “We must look after it ”
The new sign, proudly reading “Welcome to Supertubes Jeffreys Bay”, is more than a greeting It stands as a reminder of what makes this place extraordinary: its waves, its creativity and the community that calls it home
ible to the right customers I didn’t know all this was possible without needing to hire expensive agencies,” said one participant proudly – a local culinary enthusiast known for her famous calamari dishes in St Francis Bay
The training, facilitated by Genies-Yus AI, concluded with a Certificate of Completion ceremony – celebrating not only new knowledge but newfound confidence
This initiative is part of Kouga Municipality’s broader vision to build sustainable, competitive small enterprises across all nine towns Through partnerships with ECDC and SEDFA, the Economic Development Unit is paving the way for the establishment of Small Business Hubs throughout Kouga A comprehensive business plan has already been
developed to align with government and development funding opportunities
Kouga Deputy Executive Mayor, Timothy Jantjes, praised the initiative as a cornerstone of the municipality’s inclusive growth strategy
“Empowering our local entrepreneurs with digital skills is not just about keeping up with technology - it’s about unlocking new possibilities for growth, job creation and self-reliance,” said Jantjes
“When our small businesses succeed, our communities thrive, and our local economy becomes stronger and more sustainable ”
The municipality extends heartfelt gratitude to all the entrepreneurs, partners, and facilitators who continue to make this shared vision a reality – one empowered business at a time
Beyond the artistry, the project reflects a broader purpose JBSA and the Kouga Municipality continue to work hand in hand to maintain beaches, parks and dunes, while raising awareness about conservation A

RAZAAN PLAATJIES
JEFFREYS Bay filmmaker, Vicki Fourie, has successfully wrapped filming on her National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF) grant-funded short film, ThisAbility, completing production in early October after months of careful preparation
As previously reported, Fourie was awarded a prestigious grant from the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF) to produce a short film this year, becoming the only recipient from the Eastern Cape among just four successful applicants nationwide
The film, ThisAbility, which explores the story of a deaf teenager who becomes entangled in Jeffreys Bay's taxi crime underworld, was shot over four days from 6 to 9 October, with additional voiceover work completed on 9 October Fourie said that filming ThisAbility was an incredible journey, full of ups and downs
After months of pre-production from April to September, she said that she had to choose among five production companies and, after many meetings, she decided on RED Creative Collaboration
Fourie said that she was very happy with her choice as they provided a safe, creative space and supportive environment on set, which was very important to her, so that everyone could express their creativity fully
She said that the production faced typical Jeffreys Bay challenges, with weather playing a significant role during filming
"The wind was fierce, which is so typical of the area We braved the conditions and did our best to work around them We eventually completed voice-overs in the studio on 9 October because it was impossible to record on location at the taxi rank," said Fourie
Despite the challenging conditions, she described the experience as overwhelmingly positive
"For me, as a director and producer, the ex-
perience was professional, seamless, joyful and immensely creative Almost everything ran smoothly, with the only challenge being the wind," said Fourie
The film features leading performances by Xabi Ndodana and Fiks Mahola, with Fourie herself taking on the role of the antagonist
Supporting roles were filled by Ruud Petrus, along with 15 extras provided by Pastor Neil Tarentaal from AGS Emmanuel Pellsrus in Pellsrus
While Fourie had hoped to cast a deaf actress in the leading role, she was unable to find the right person for the part She said that she chose Ndodana, who also completed her Honours with Fourie at AFDA in 2024
"Interestingly, even though I am deaf myself, I ended up playing a hearing role, the antagonist, which I find fascinating While none of our main cast or crew are deaf or hard-of-hearing, we were very mindful of representing the Deaf experience with research, sensitivity and collaboration," said Fourie
She said that the local community embraced the production wholeheartedly, and the response was overwhelmingly positive
"The Humansdorp Taxi Association generously lent us taxis and trusted us with their vehicles, while the Lotter family from Vlakteplaas allowed us to use their warehouse as a key filming location," said Fourie
Since this represents her first film as di-
rector and producer, the filming experience marked a significant milestone in her career
"Filming my first short film has been nothing short of magical Every scene felt like a discovery, and I was inspired daily by the creativity and commitment of the team," said Fourie
Her recent achievements extend beyond the completion of ThisAbility
She was recently named a winner in the Arts, Film and Media category of the 2025 Mail & Guardian Power of Women Awards
Fourie is also a finalist in the Forty Under 40 Awards, and together with her mother, Bonita, who co-produced the film, they are in the Top 25 of the EmpowerAfriq Women's Awards
Post-production is currently underway, with Fourie targeting completion by the end of 2025
"Post-production has already begun, and we hope to complete the trailer, film, poster and all other materials by the end of 2025 Once the film is finished, we plan to submit it to distributors, as well as enter it into film festivals and competitions, so that ThisAbility can reach audiences both locally and internationally," said Fourie
She said that they are currently seeking support to host a premiere, as their budget is fully stretched
Fourie said that they would be incredibly grateful for sponsorship for a venue, catering, or technical support
For aspiring filmmakers in similar small towns, she offers encouraging advice to embrace the local community and recognise the surrounding hidden treasures
"Every person you work with carries a unique gift Approach filmmaking with joy, curiosity and openness Don't be afraid to start small because your story matters, and you can uncover gold even with limited resources," said Fourie
Reflecting on her journey, she emphasised the transformative nature of the experience and how her film career finally took off after 15 years of hard work
"Before filming, we had a meet-and-greet at my house, where I gave each crew member and actor a letter with a keyring It was a small but meaningful symbol For many years, doors represented disappointment for me; closed doors, missed chances and endless waiting Finally, after 15 years, the door finally swung wide open with ThisAbility, and it was an honour for this crew of 11 to walk through it with me," said Fourie
Organisations or individuals interested in supporting the premiere can contact Vicki Fourie at vickifourie@yahoo com
Her filmmaking journey can be followed on her Facebook Page – Vicki Fourie, and on her blog at vickifourie com

JEFFREYSBAAI se opkomende gewigoptel-ster, Lumar Karolse, het onlangs by die SA junior kampioenskappe in die Kaap sonder die regte uitrusting steeds bo sy teenstanders uitgetroon
Die 12-jarige gr 6-leerling aan die Laerskool Pelsrus het dáár die Suid-Afrikaanse o 14-titel gewen – dít terwyl hy op die hoogste vlak met skoolskoene deelgeneem het Hy moes ook ’n gewigoptel uitrusting van Kevin du Plooy, jarelange WP en SA president, leen Maar steeds het hierdie agterstand nie verhoed dat hy hom as die beste o 14-atleet in die land vestig nie Ondanks sy agterstand het hy steeds met van die land se beste atlete klaargespeel wat bevoorreg was om die regte uitrusting te besit Sy vasberadenheid, vermoë en wil om te wen het die deurslag gegee
Só goed is die jongeling dat hy die groot gunsteling is om volgende jaar die titel te behou Dit sal hom die eerste atleet in Suid-Afrika maak wat hierdie titel twee jaar agtereenvol-
gens wen
“Dis eintlik hartseer dat Lumar onder sulke omstandighede moes deelneem,” het sy afrigter, Pieter Pretorius, nou eksklusief onthul “Ons is egter dankbaar vir die oorwinning en het altyd geweet waartoe hy in staat is
“Daarom bid en glo ons dat ’n borg of twee na vore sal tree om Lumar op sy pad vorentoe te ondersteun “Dit sal help dat hy sy volle potensiaal bereik met die regte uitrusting Gewigoptelskoene en ’n suit van sy eie sal so baie vir hom beteken Trouens, dit kan wondere vir hom verrig vorentoe
“In ruil kan borge seker wees dat Lumar hulle naam hoog sal hou en hulle met skitterende prestasies sal beloon Lumar maak nie net Pellsrus en Jeffreysbaai trots nie, maar die hele Oos-Kaap Hy gaan nog ’n groot naam word in die sport Dis vir seker,” sê Pretorius

IN a thrilling display of skill and determination, two students from Jeffreys Bay-based Botha's Kickboxing Academy recently represented the Eastern Cape Kickboxing Association (ECKA) squad at the World Association of Kickboxing Organisations (WAKO) and South African Kickboxing Association (SAKA) Western Cape Championships in Oudtshoorn
The event brought together topnotch kickboxers from across the region, making it a fantastic opportunity for our athletes to test their mettle Evanique Humphreys, a talented and energetic 9-year-old, brought home impressive results, claiming second place in the under 28kg Points category and first place in Light Continuous
Her outstanding performance was a testament to her hard work and dedication to the sport
JT Pieterse, a 19-year-old senior
competitor, secured second place in the under 79kg Light Continuous category, putting up a valiant fight against tough opponents
Unfortunately, Pieterse sustained a foot injury during his intense bout for first and second place, leading to his withdrawal from Kick Light
Sensei Philip van Zyl, who couldn't physically participate due to a neck injury, played a crucial role as a referee on the day, alongside Lientjie van Zyl
The team was coached by Shihan Louwrens Botha, who helped prepare the athletes for the competition, drilling into them the techniques and strategies that paid off in the end
Botha's Kickboxing Academy is incredibly proud of Humphreys, Pieterse and the entire team for showcasing their skills and representing their academy with pride
Their achievements are a testament to the hard work and commitment of the entire team
