Bure in die Hoheizen-gemeenskap in Bellville is verdeeld ná die skep van ’n losloop-hondepark in Oerder-weg nadat 'n wykstoelaag verlede jaar deur die Wyk 70-raadslid, Ronél Viljoen, toegestaan is
’n Petisie teen die park is intussen deur 16 inwoners onderteken om parkregulasies te herevalueer met voorstelle om, onder meer, die losloophondepark na die groter park in laer-Hoheizen te verskuif

gebrekkig en het onvoldoende gemeenskapskonsultasie behels
“Van ongeveer 200 huishoudings het slegs 35 individue aan die stemmery deelgeneem, en van daardie 35 het net 22 ten gunste van die park gestem Nêrens op die beswaarlys wat getik is en aan ’n individu in ons buurtvereniging voorsien is, kon ek my sterk beswaar teen die
park vind nie ” Dalby meen selfs onder ondersteuners van die park het vyf mense kommer oor die ligging, veiligheid en parkering uitgespreek “Dit is onaanvaarbaar dat die stemme van inwoners wat direk geraak word soos ek nie in ag geneem is nie,” sê sy NABLADSY2

The Western Cape Government has reported a slight drop in road-related fatalities over the Easter weekend, with 22 lives lost between April 17 and 21, down from 26 during the same period last year
While the decline is welcomed, officials continue to emphasise the importance of responsible road behaviour as another long weekend looms
The provincial government’s mobility and health departments deployed teams across the region during the peak travel period to enforce safety measures and provide emergency assistance
According to official data, 22 fatal crashes occurred over the Easter weekend, resulting in the said deaths The Cape metro region recorded the highest number of incidents The breakdown of fatalities includes 14 pedestrians, five passengers, two drivers, and one motorcyclist losing their lives
According to officials, 14 of the deaths occurred on municipal roads, while eight were reported on provincial routes
The number of a road-related fatalities over the Easter weekend This is four less than the same period last year
VIOLATIONS
The provincial traffic services were active throughout the Easter period, conducting 784 integrated operations, including roadblocks, vehicle checkpoints, and speed enforcement activities, says a spokesperson of the mobility department
Over 30 000 vehicles were stopped and checked, and 8 714 speeding violations recorded while more than 19 000 traffic fines were issued A total of 226 arrests were made, with 181 being for drunk driving
“We are encouraged by the reduction in fatalities, but our message remains clear: road safety is a shared responsibility,” said a spokesperson for the Western Cape mobility department “With another long weekend ahead, we urge all road users to prioritize safety, plan ahead, and never drive under the influence ”

Bure in Oerder- en Avery-weg, Christo van der Merwe en Annalize Schoeman, stem saam met Dalby se besware
Hulle glo die park aan die onderkant van Hoheizen, wat glo aansienlik groter is en beter parkeergeriewe het, is beter geskik vir losloop-honde Hulle reken dié opsie is sonder behoorlike motivering deur owerhede geïgnoreer
“Ek glo die hele manier waarop die proses hanteer is, was verkeerd Hulle moes van die bure wat reg langs die park woon, toestemming kry As een buurman sê nee', is dit nee,” reken Van der Merwe
Na sy mening is inwoners nie behoorlik oor die openbaredeelnameproses ingelig nie
Schoeman glo mense is oor die algemeen oningelig oor munisipale ordonnansies wat losloop-troeteldiere betref “Mense is onder die indruk hulle mag enige dier daar loslaat, hetsy dit ’n agressiewe hond is of nie Die mense wat om die hoek bly, stap sommer met honde sonder leiband na die park toe ”
VOORSTELLEGEMAAK
Liezel Kohler, voorsitter van die Inwonersvereniging van Hoheizen (IVH), vertel aan TygerBurger dat Viljoen die toekenning van die wykstoelaag vroeg verlede jaar bevestig het
“Die idee van ’n losloop-hondepark is reeds in 2022 oorweeg, aangesien talle soortgelyke parke in omliggende gebiede ontstaan het Oor die algemeen is dit ’n uitdaging om wydlopende voorstelle van inwoners vir 'n wykstoelae te bekom ” Kohler meen inwoners se daadwerklike betrokkenheid en deelname is skaars Schoeman het selfs gebieg dat sy nie veel aandag aan die IVH se nuusbriewe skenk nie
Die voorstel vir die losloop-hondepark is toe deur Viljoen aan die Stad gekommunikeer Kort voor lank is 'n nuwe omheining om die Oerder-park sowel as
kennisgewingborde oor die gebruik van leibande aangebring
“Daar is minstens drie nuusbriewe deur die IVH in die verskillende Hoheizensones oor die openbaredeelnameproses, wat op 18 Mei verlede jaar geskied het, vrygestel Die Stad se amptenare het ’n stalletjie in die park opgeslaan vir openbare deelname, en sowat 35 stemme is getel, met die meeste stemme ten gunste van die park ”
Kohler herhaal dat die IVH slegs die voorstelle vir die wykstoelaag bemiddel het “Die Stad het uiteraard die finale besluit en skep van die park behartig ”
STADKAAPSTAD
Die Stad bevestig die voorgestelde versoek vir die Oerderpark is in Mei 2022 van gemeenskapslede ontvang en daarna na die wykraadslid verwys "’n Formele proses van openbare deelname, soos standaardpraktyk vereis, is van 29 April tot 23 Mei verlede jaar geïmplementeer Finansiering vir die oprigting van heinings is in die 2024-'25-boekjaar toegeken," lui die terugvoer
Volgens die Stad se syfers is altesaam 38 inwoners se stemme getel, waarvan 25 die stigting van ’n hondepark in Oerderpark ondersteun het
" ’n Verandering na losloop-gebruik vereis formele goedkeuring van die subraad, ingevolge Artikel 10 van die Verordening op Diere-aanhouding, 2021 Oerderpark is gekies op grond van sy geskiktheid met betrekking tot uitleg, skaal en infrastruktuur " Met betrekking tot die voorstel oor die groter park in onderste Hoheizen, meen die Stad dit word reeds vir ander ontspanningsdoeleindes gebruik "Dit sluit ’n gedeelte van ’n onbeboude padreserwe in, wat die haalbaarheid van omheining beperk Om daardie ruimte te omhein sou ’n beduidend groter belegging vereis, wat nie binne die huidige begrotingstoewysings moontlik is nie "
A total of 30 000 vehicles were stopoed and checked over the Easter weekend

ROLMODELLEVIRJONGMENSE
Hul reis weerspieël ware veerkragtigheid en ’n dapper gees Deur hul kreatiwiteit en liefde vir selfuitdrukking het die De Gouveia-susters uitgestyg as rolmodelle vir jong mense, en hul pad na sukses word voortgesit in van die land se mees gesogte kompetisies
Albei sussies was onlangs finaliste in die bekende Mnr en Mej Junior Suid-Afrikakompetisie, aangebied deur Pageants SA en onder leiding van Carolyn Botha Amy-Lee (16) van die Hoërskool Bellville is as Mej Junior Tiener gekroon, terwyl die 10-jarige Kaycee De Gouveia, ’n leerder aan die Laerskool Bellpark, as Mej PreTiener (Pre-teen in Engels) Suid-Afrika wegstap
Vir Amy-Lee is die eer ’n droom wat waar geword het “Dit beteken nie net dat ek erken word vir wie ek is nie, maar dit gee my ook die geleentheid om ’n groter verskil te maak Ek beskou dit as ’n eer en ’n verantwoordelikheid om ander
AMY-LEE EN KAYCEE IS PASSIEVOL OOR GEMEENSKAPSDIENS
jongmeisies te inspireer om in hulself te glo en altyd hul passie te volg ”
Op haar beurt vertel Kaycee sy is baie bly en dankbaar vir hierdie toekenning “Dit wys vir my ek kan iets spesiaals doen en ander kinders wys dat hulle ook enigiets kan bereik Dit maak my trots om my land te kan verteenwoordig en wys dat ek ’n verskil kan maak, selfs al is ek nog jonk ”
Met hul oë op die wêreldverhoog is Amy-Lee en Kaycee vooraf gekies om SuidAfrika volgende jaar by ’n internasionale kompetisie in Turkye te verteenwoordig Hul droom is om die titels Miss Teen Universe en Little Miss World huis toe te bring Amy-Lee en Kaycee samel nou geld in en soek borgskappe om hierdie droom moontlik te maak
DIENERSVANDIEGEMEENSKAP
Maar hul invloed strek veel verder as net lintjies en tiaras Amy-Lee en Kaycee is passievol oor gemeenskapsdiens Hulle het onlangs saamgewerk aan ’n skryfbehoeftes- en lekkernyprojek waar hulle nuwe en gebruikte skryfbehoeftes ingesamel het Die donasies is in individuele toutjiesakke verpak wat saam met lekkergoed-pakkies voorberei is wat aan die organisasie Sarmie Mommiez oorhandig is Verder het die twee nuwe skoolklere en skoene gekoop en dit aan behoeftige kinders geskenk om selfvertroue en waardigheid te help herstel
Daarby het hulle ook aktief aan die Dignity Dreams-projek deelgeneem waar hulle wasbare en herbruikbare sanitêre doekies aan jong meisies geskenk het Hierdie projek dra daartoe by om waardigheid en skoolbywoning vir meisies in nood te herstel Met ’n hart vir mense en diere help hulle ook graag die haweloses en bring gereeld tyd deur by diereskuilings soos Lucky Lucy, waar hulle liefde en sorg aan reddingsdiere gee Oor die pad vorentoe sê Amy-Lee sy wil graag met gemeenskapswerk volhou,
“veral met projekte wat diere help, want ek het ’n groot liefde vir hulle Ek sal aanhou om die Lucky Lucy Foundation te ondersteun en bewustheid oor dierewelsyn te skep"
Sy wil ook jongmense aanmoedig om betrokke te raak by hul gemeenskap Haar sussie sê egter sy sien uit om stories met ander mense te deel “Ek wil graag aanhou om kinders en mense wat swaarkry te help Ek wil graag stories deel en ander kinders wys hoe lekker dit is om te help ”

Daar was vreemde konkoksies om te sluk, mopaniewurms om te eet, kinders wat gil, onderwysers wat gril en ’n vier meter lange luislang wat om die skoolhoof krul
Dit was Dinsdag 22 April alles deel van Radio Tygerberg 104FM se Vreesloos 2025-veldtog wat by die Hoërskool Stellenberg besoek afgelê het
“Dit is vir ons ’n groot voorreg en baie pret om ons Vreesloosveldtog na hoërskole in die omgewing te neem Dit bied ons ’n wonderlike platform om by jongmense uit te kom en hulle te inspireer met ’n boodskap om vreesloos te leef,” sê Rikus van Rooy, Radio Tygerberg se stasiebestuurder

Die gewilde omroepers Gerald Petersen en Mike Potgieter was die aanbieders van die program
Terwyl die uitdagings in die skoolsaal plaasgevind het, het
Die Real Brêkfis-span (Benescke Janse van Rensburg, Neville D en Francois Boyce) regstreeks van die skool af uitgesaai Tydens die program het hulle verskeie onderhoude gevoer, onder andere met die hoof van die Hoërskool Stellenberg, Yolandé Havinga
Die vier deelnemers se eerste nie-amptelike uitdaging was ook ’n onderhoud met dié gewilde ontbytspan
Ná noue interaksie met die
yslike luislang deel sy met TygerBurger dat dit ’n voorreg was om deel van die Vreeslooservaring te wees
“Dit was inderdaad iets om na uit te sien en het hope opwinding opgelewer Die boodskap wat dit dra, is om die lewe vreesloos aan te pak Om die lewe vierkantig in die oë te kyk en die uitdagings wat op ’n mens se pad is, te omarm en geleenthede daarvan te maak Dit is wat ons leerders uit die Vreesloos-ervaring kon leer,” sê Havinga

Dbekroonde botanis Leon Kluge se Between two Worlds is meer as net ’n tuinontwerp
Dis ’n multi-sensoriese verbeeldingsreis amper magies van aard - ’n tentoonstelling van die tropiese planteryk in al sy skoonheid
Met beligting, klank en selfs reuk voer die uitstalling jou mee na ’n wortelboomwoud (mangrove) wat wakker word en weer gaan slaap Van ’n mistige oggend met waterstrome en sonsopkoms met vrolike voëlgesang tot ’n helder maanlignag waar krieke musiek maak
Besoekers van oor die stad heen het die afgelope naweek na Hazendal-wynlangoed gestroom om dié buitengewone tentoonstelling te kom ervaar - ’n eerste in Suid-Afrika
Dié tuin was verlede jaar Suid-Afrika se inskrywing by die wêreld se grootste tropiese blommeskou in Singapoer waar dit ’n goue medalje en twee toekennings - Beste op Skou, en Beste Beligting - ingeryg het Kluge, ’n landskapkunstenaar wat bekend is vir gewaagde skeppings wat die grense van tuinontwerp verskuif, het ook verlede jaar twee toekennings by die Chelsea-blommeskou in Londen verwerf

Met 4 500 plante van 200 soorte is deurdagte vakmanskap aan die dag gelê met Between two Worlds
“In Singapoer het dit ons drie weke geneem om op te rig,” sê hy “Vir die fokusstuk het ons bloekomboomtakke gebruik om die mangrovewortels wat in die water in groei uit te beeld, omring met inheemse plantsoorte Die agtergrondklanke van voël- en dierelewe is in Skukuza in die Kruger-wildtuin opgeneem en die groot bloekomboomtakke van ’n boom wat by Hazendal omgeval het, is gebruik
“Daar is varings, orgideë, vyebome, en ’n inheemse mangoboom Die idee met die tema was om ’n fantasiewêreld te skep met die speling van kleur en klank Om die tydstip tussen twee wêrelde vas te vang, net voor jy aan die slaap raak en wanneer jy begin droom, daai oomblik wanneer realiteit en fantasie saamsmelt,” vertel hy aan TygerBurger
“Aspekte soos die vuurvliegies gee dan ook die gevoel van ’n feëland, ’n woud wat slaap en wakker word om te herinner aan ’n tyd waarin ons in harmonie met die natuur saamgelewe het ”

Herewith signing out for one last time...
I had a dream of becoming a journalist from Grade 5, when a teacher helped me recognise my gift of the written word And despite much discouragement of having faith in one's own career dreams, I went on to realise them
Once realised, soon enough it became abundantly clear that this was the right choice, making a difference through telling the stories of others
I always say we are often the voiceless soldiers behind the published works, rewarded by a simple byline at the top for our efforts No personal opinions, no guided narratives So on these few occasions we give readers insight into the person who is the subject of our newspaper
For those who may not know me, or my story, my name is Samantha (although I never hear my full name unless I'm in trouble, of course) I had a dream of becoming a journalist at People's Post newspaper, specifically writing for Mitchells Plain, the area I was born and finished my schooling in, and to which I still a have very deep sense of belonging, even though my family moved out of the area at the start of high-school years
I was inspired to make a difference by telling the positive news from the area, amid continuous front-page articles about all the deepest darkest happenings in the area
My dream was largely realised in 2014 as an intern, on the newspaper's Lansdowne edition But slowly God let the full dream unfold, and in time I wrote for the prized edition for Mitchells Plain What was meant to be a six-month internship ended
.. I WAS INSPIRED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY TELLING THE POSITIVE NEWS FROM THE AREA
after three months with a full-time offer It was an opportunity to prove myself Consequently, I believe I personify the saying "If you love what you do you won't work a day in your life "
With more than 50 awards, commendations, finalist nominations and recognitions along the more-than-10year span of my career, and having the privilege of featuring in almost every major journalism competition in the country I never imagined doing anything else And honestly, through all of this I have learnt many valuable lessons
You know, one cannot tell the future; I mean, if you asked me a few years ago where I'd be at this point my answer would probably have been the same as it was then
Tomorrow I will officially close a chapter of my life At 32 I stand at the precipice of major change I once believed it was too late for me to start over I recognise the magnitude of this new career move, an opportunityto make a fresh start, a whole new beginning, which is more than many can do right now In fact, I didn't want to write this column at all, for fear it would be a tad too emotional My colleagues were quite adamant that I write this, my swansong, and how glad I am that I obliged
For the past 10-and-a-half years, People's Post, and later TygerBurger (as the publication name changed), has become such a huge part of my identity, a publication I have passionately advocated for, and it has been such an incredible ride And while it is with a heavy heart that I officially bid farewell to my career as a reporter today I am so immensely grateful for all I have achieved on this most fulfilling of journeys
Thank you for the memories, for the platform, for the opportunity to inform, inspire and entertain you along the way As I often would say in my videos, "signing out for one more time [although this time final], for People's Post news I am Samantha Lee-Jacobs "

Save our coastline from litter before it’s too late
I took a walk along one of Cape Town’s beautiful beaches this past weekend and was heartbroken by what I saw Plastic bottles, food wrappers, fishing line, and even broken glass littered the sand, marring what should be one of our greatest natural treasures
Cape Town is known worldwide for its stunning coastline, but without urgent action, we risk losing this priceless asset to pollution and neglect While volunteer clean-ups are admirable they are not enough The City needs to implement regular beach maintenance, stricter littering fines, and more public education campaigns about the consequences of pollution
We must also tackle the issue at the source:
improving waste management in nearby communities and encouraging recycling Installing more visible accessible bins along beach entrances could help Beaches are not just playgrounds for tourists; they are crucial ecosystems for marine life and important spaces for local communities If we fail to protect them now, future generations will inherit nothing but polluted shorelines
Saving our coastline must become a shared responsibility between the government, businesses, and all residents It’s time we treat our beaches with the respect they deserve

Residents fed up with street racing chaos
On Friday evening I called law enforcement regarding the cars speeding in the Goodwood area
On Sunday night again cars motorbikes were revving, racing up and down the Goodwood area for hours
The law enforcement call centre had my call on hold for 10 minutes
Even though they are based in Goodwood the operator said she could not hear anything or see anything on the cameras I asked if they have double-paned windows?
The police station is also in the area Are these departments so far removed from the actual lawlessness in our residential areas?

Ek moet sê hy klink 'n bietjie verwaand synde dat hy die wat wel so praat se intellek of beskaafdheid bevraagteken (hulle het ''net-net gr 2 deurgeskraap of ken bloot nie ordentlike taal nie'' in sy woorde, of is kwasi-skrywers of akademeci wat 'n verhandeling moet regverdig) Nee goeiste Ou Toppie ek dink dit is darem so 'n aks of wat te dik vir 'n daalder en 'n bietjie neus in die lug Daar is mos plek vir skakerings in ons taal (en ja Afrikaans is almal wat dit praat s'n - ongeag hoeveel skakerings en nerings daar in daardie "ons" is)
Ek praat "okie" Kaaps nie maar hoekom sal dit 'n ander pla hoe ek praat of nie praat nie of waarom sal ek my ontstel oor hoe ander praat - miskien moet ons eerder probeer om mekaar beter te verstaan ongeag hoe die woorde oor ons lippe rol
Vir my lees Kaaps (soos in Nathan Trantraal onder andere) se skrywes 'n biejie moeilik maar ek was al aangenaam verras want soms sê dit darem 'n ding raak en gee lewe aan die storie Hier in die Kaap het ek buiten sommige Kaapse terme ook woorde uit die Moslem-gemeenskap begin leer ken Na my mening verryk dit mens net Nee wat Ou Toppie moenie so ''judgerig wesie'' Soos my ma altyd sê -leef en laat leef en gun vir almal (en hoe hulle praat) 'n plekkie in die son Viva veelkantige Afrikaans!

verstaan familie het kom kuier Kom ons wees gesellig Maar hoekom moet daar dan altyd 'n bakleiery ook uitbreek en almal se naweek onplesierig maak? Wat 'n super belangrike tydperk in 'n Christen se lewe moet wees word nou geheel en al in iets anders verander Die kerke is leeg, maar die strate is vol Waarna toe is ons mensdom oppad?

LANGNEKKE: ‘n Leser het hierdie twee kameelperde afgeneem by die gasteplaas waar sy tuisgegaan het tydens‘n besoek aan die Bontebok Nasionale Park oor die Paasnaweek “Die twee langnekke het vir groot vermaak gesorg en ek kon nie anders as om hulle teen die mooi agtergrond te fotografeer nie,”skryf Christa Rossouw in haar e-pos aan TygerBurger
Motor vehicle licence fees are primarily used to build,upgrade,and maintain the provincially-owned road network
Comment on fees hike
The Western Cape Government is inviting residents to comment on the proposed increases of motor vehicle licence fees, published in the Provincial Gazette
Extraordinary 9057 on 17 April
The proposed increases, which are scheduled to take effect on 1 August, are open for public comment until Saturday 17 May
"The Western Cape is home to over two million registered vehicles, and the condition of our roads is consistently rated among the best in the country
“This is largely due to the provincial government’s commitment to ringfencing motor vehicle licence revenue to maintain, upgrade, and expand our road network," said Muneera
Allie, Western Cape mobility department spokesperson
“Paying your vehicle licence fees is not just a legal requirement, it is an important contribution to keeping our roads
safe, efficient, and reliable for everyone
“These fees are directly reinvested into the Western Cape’s road infrastructure, helping to build and maintain the roads that connect our communities, support economic activity, and enable daily life ”
Motor vehicle licence fees are primarily used to build, upgrade, and maintain the provinciallyowned road network; assist municipalities in maintaining their more strategic roads, and ensuring continued safe mobility for all road users, including residents, freight operators, tourists, and public transport passengers
The draft regulation is available on this link: 2025 Proposed increases to Motor Vehicle Registration and License Fees . To comment on the proposed increases, send an email to Robyn Titus@westerncape gov.za

‘Hedda Gabler’ brings fire and fury to The Baxter this May
Get ready for drama that scorches the stage - Hedda Gabler, the award-winning theatrical sensation, is coming to The Baxter Flipside in both Afrikaans and English.
Directed and translated by Christiaan Olwagen, this bold reimagining of Henrik Ibsen’s iconic play dives headfirst into the chaos of power, passion and destruction. The title role played with electric intensity by Rolanda Marais, is at the heart of a story where feathers, guns, and wilting roses decorate a world ready to unravel
This explosive production first wowed audiences at last year’s Woordfees and went on to nab four kykNET Fiësta Awards, including Best Actress for Marais, Best Ensemble and Best Festival Production.
Hedda Gabler is no polite period piece It’s a shot of
adrenaline to the classic canon. Alongside Marais a top-tier cast - Albert Pretorius, Martelize Kolver, Ashley de Lange, Ludwig Binge and Stian Bam brings the heat in both language runs, with Hedda at the centre, burning everything in her path Having just returned from honeymoon with the wellmeaning but dull Jurg (Pretorius), Hedda is already bored When her old flame Lovborg (Binge) shows up, Hedda aims a wrecking ball at her life
This is not theatre for the faint-hearted. With graphic content and reference to suicide, the production carries a 16+ age restriction.
Catch it at The Baxter - in Afrikaans from 1 to 10 May and in English from 12 to 24 May at 19:30, with Saturday matinees at 15:30 . Tickets are available at Webtickets or Pick n Pay stores
