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
INFRASTRUCTURE
“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 provincially-owned 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

AVRILFILLIES
Since his childhood Tyrone Appollis has been painting and romanticising about the poor fisherfolk's struggle along the coasts of the Western Cape for survival
He painted scenes of harbours from Kalk Bay to Gansbaai to showcase the struggles of fisherfolk against draconian quota systems and watching their world-famous sea cottages being taken over by the rich in the name of gentrification
“For years fishermen fished the holy, sweet waters running alongside their world-famous sea cottages on our coasts,” Appollis said, “and in my paintings I have depicted these scenes to show how they were so cruelly moved to other areas to serve rich folk’s taste for gentrification, which saw over their sea cottages taken over ”
He still believes the quota system is terrible, seeing the ongoing struggle of fisherfolk to make ends meet with the quotas allocated to them
ARTISTANDPOET
“Besides painting I also make sketches and write poems about the working class, the vessels in Kalk Bay and other harbours, which are my happy hunting grounds In my childhood I used to call it my throw-away paintings, drawings and poems, and recently I added songs of Kalk Bay and Gansbaai, although Kalk Bay is the lovely thorn in my little car's front tyres As I always say ‘tank you’, but my little car isn’t ‘tank-full’, which means I score mileage from or to Kalk Bay ” Appollis resides in Vanguard Estate
He said he entered a few art competitions without any success and, in retrospect, was a good loser
“Not winning competitions served to strengthen my demeanour for greater heights in my work as a painter, poet, singer and songwriter But I take comfort in the fact that some of the world’s most esteemed thinkers, musicians, artists and painters never won a Grammy or Oscar award Vincent van Gogh, Bessie Head,

Bob Marley and Steve Biko come to mind, but they are uppermost in my heart as the most enduring of spirits ”
Appollis acknowledged all the South African artists who, through the years, touched his soul indelibly and whom he regards as much-vaunted creations
‘VISWINKELS’
Recently he was challenged by Stefan Hundt, curator of the Sanlam Art Collection in Bellville, to paint “Viswinkels Vannie Kaap”
“Initially I didn’t say a word, but am currently taking up the challenge I’ve written poems on ‘Kalkys fish and crispy cheaps’, but will put brush to paint to make the challenge a reality Local is lekker and when you visit these small harbours you can be sure there will be fish and chips, dried snoek, harders or fresh fish from the sea I’ve painted harbours such as Paternoster, Saldanha, Hermanus, Yzerfontein, Gordon’s Bay and Struisbaai, and this theme hasn’t dried up my pores of awakening ”

NPOwelcomsnewschoolbus
Anon-profit school re-
cently welcomed a new Hino 35-seater school bus which will help provide more transport access for disadvantaged learners
The bus, which was valued at R1,5 million, was donated to Christel House South Africa courtesy of the South African Muslim Council Trust (SAMCT) on Thursday April 24
Christel House South Africa is a no-fee, non-profit school based in Ottery, Cape Town, and supports learners from disadvantaged communities starting from 19 years (Grade RR to Grade 12 and five years post-matric) according to school spokesperson, Lara Black
The school held a ceremony to celebrate the donation of the
school bus last week
TRANSPORTISCRUCIAL
At the bus launch, SAMCT trustee Faried Boltman said transport is one of the cornerstones of providing education
"We believe children need to be in school and transport plays a key role, which is why we identified the school bus as the appropriate donation We are very pleased that the school would include us in their growth and future Education, community development and empowerment are very important factors that we focus on," Boltman said
The SAMCT was founded in 2008, the result of a partnership between Old Mutual Unit Trusts
and Al Baraka Bank
"We are so grateful for this donation as transport is so important when it comes to providing access to education Our students face significant challenges getting to school Our bus fleet of 17 serves 906 students, transporting them to and from school daily from 29 underserved communities across Cape Town However, now we can support another 30 children with the bus when we go on educational excursions and university visits," Black said
Christel House also spends R8 million per annum on transport which also facilitates enrichment activities such as workplace exposure trips, and career seminars, according to Black "We'll now be adding another
300 learners to our current 906 learner population As student numbers grow, the need for safe, reliable transportation becomes even more critical as a means of reaching more at-risk youth struggling in under-resourced communities," Black said
NEWHIGHSCHOOL
Christel House is also constructing a new high school as part of the school's Replication Programme The project is set to complete before the start of the new academic year
Boltman also confirmed that their association will continue supporting their campus
expansion
"This is an organisation utterly dedicated to the education of young learners grappling with the effects of severe poverty daily Its efforts and, indeed, its extraordinary and consistently impressive academic achievements with learners from impoverished economic backgrounds are to be applauded and encouraged We are privileged to have been in the position to partner with Christel House South Africa and to assist in bringing its five-year campus expansion plan to reality," he said
Black says the bus donation marks the launch of a partnership with the SAMCT . For more information visit: https:// sa.christelhouse org/

“Ons het vir die eerste keer in 2020 tydens die Covid 19-pandemie met die sepie hande gevat toe ons saam ’n inryteater by Atlantic Studios, die tuiste van Suidooster in Montague Gardens aangebied het Suidooster is ook ’n vennoot in die Suidoosterfees se jaarlikse Talentsoektogkompetisie ” The Stage Performing Arts Studio van Durbanville help vanjaar met die choreografie en verhoogbestuur .

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

Paasweek gaan nie oor partytjies nie
Paasfees was 'n tyd om met familie deur te bring Om te reflekteer oor jou lewe en hoe Christus die prys vir jou betaal het om jouself af te vra lewe ek vir Hom, wat vir my gesterf het? Maar eerlikwaar ek dink ons mense het die hele punt daarvan gemis Oral rond was daar die een partytjie na die ander partytjie van vroeg tot laat of sommer heelnag deur En ja, mens kan dit sekerlik
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?

Die tale wat ons praat
Ek sien Ou Toppie van Kuilsrivier kla verlede week oor Kaaps ("Ek hou nie van Kaaps", TygerBurger 23 April) Soos hy dit so mooi stel het hy 'n broertjie dood daaraan, want hy "pratie" so nie of meng nie juis met die wat so praat nie
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!

Elderlycrushed by tariff hikes
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
