WYNE VAN DURBANVILLE ONDER LAND SE BESTE JONGWYNE BLADSY 8

“Sound Memory is about much more than remembering names and dates...” - Gail Jordaan The band and banners march to the Bellville Civic Centre.

BOMB ALLEY KEEPS THE MEMORY OF FALLEN SOLDIERS ALIVE AT ANNUAL SERVICE

Honouring the fallen DESIRÉE RORKE

DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA

ore than 80 years after it was established, Bomb Alley Shellhole in Brackenfell continues to honour those who served their country to ensure the sacrifices of previous generations are not forgotten. Bomb Alley held its 13th consecutive War Commemoration Service at the Bellville War Memorial, in front of the Bellville Civic Centre. The emotive service, initiated by Bomb Alley in 2014 and

held in collaboration with the Bellville Subcouncil, has become an important part of the local remembrance calendar where veterans’ organisations, civic representatives, families and the public gather to pay their respects each year. “It commemorates South African participation in the wars and conflicts of the past and remembers those from our communities who made the ultimate sacrifice,” says Gail Jordaan of Bomb Alley. Veterans in MOTH regalia stood to attention, while

representatives formed a quiet semicircle at the foot of the Bellville War Memorial where the wreaths of red poppies were laid. The Last Post and Reveille is then sounded by the bugle followed by a period of silence in honour of those who died in service. FOUNDED IN DURBAN Bomb Alley is one of the older branches of the Memorable Order of Tin Hats (MOTH) in the Western Cape, received its charter in Bellville on 3 November 1944

and is approaching its 82nd anniversary. “The MOTH was founded in Durban in 1927 by Charles Evenden, known within the Order as Moth O. From the beginning, the organisation was built around three ideals being True Comradeship, Mutual Help and Sound Memory. These ideals remain at the heart of MOTH activities today,” says Jordaan. “For Bomb Alley, Sound Memory is about much more than remembering names and dates. TO PAGE 4

Entries are welcomed across the DIY spectrum, including home renovation and décor projects, sustainability and upcycling initiatives, and community improvement work. “Over the past two years we’ve been inspired by women from every walk of life who are using their creativity and practical skills to build businesses, improve homes, support communities and challenge stereotypes,” said Orlando Luis, CEO of Brights Hardware. The competition is open to business owners, tradeswomen, makers, hobbyists, renovators and volunteers. Participants may enter themselves or be

nominated by others.

Road upgrades get under way

ong-awaited road upgrades aimed at easing year-long congestion in Brackenfell are under way, but motorists will need patience until mid-September while construction takes its toll. The City’s urban mobility directorate has commenced roadworks along sections of Brackenfell Boulevard, Stanley Road and Saul Street in Brackenfell. The roadworks are scheduled for completion on Friday 18 September, weather permitting and subject to any unforeseen delays. Construction is taking place between 07:00 and 17:00, Monday to Friday.

TRAFFIC FLOW In a statement to the media, the City last week stated the upgrades will improve traffic flow and road capacity, enhance safety at the Stanley Road and Brackenfell Boulevard intersection, provide safer pedestrian facilities along Saul Street and improve stormwater drainage. “These upgrades will deliver important improvements for motorists, pedestrians and the broader Brackenfell community. The widening of Brackenfell Boulevard will increase road capacity and improve traffic flow, while the new traffic circle at the Stanley Road and Brackenfell Boulevard intersection will improve safety by reducing conflict points at this existing

three-way intersection,” said the City’s Mayco member for urban mobility, Rob Quintas. “The project will also provide new pedestrian sidewalks along Saul Street, making it safer and easier for pedestrians to move through the area. “Improvements to the stormwater system will further reduce the risk of flooding and improve the resilience of the road infrastructure.”

MOTORISTS URGED TO BE PATIENT WHILE LONG-AWAITED BRACKENFEL ROADWORKS BEGIN

THE ROAD UPGRADES INCLUDE: Brackenfell Boulevard: Widening of the road along the southern boundary of Brackenfell Boulevard, from the Stanley Road intersection westward; Stanley Road and Brackenfell Boulevard intersection: Construction of a new traffic circle at the existing three-way intersection; Saul Street: Construction of new pedestrian sidewalks along Saul Street, including at the Saul Street and Brackenfell Boulevard intersection; Stormwater infrastructure: Improvements to drainage infrastructure to help reduce the risk of road flooding. The construction programme has been planned in stages to minimise disruption and avoid simultaneous closures of inbound and outbound lanes. On Brackenfell Boulevard, normal traffic flow will be maintained while work is ongoing to widen the road. The construction area will be clearly

demarcated on the southern side of the road, with delineators and advance warning signage in place. On Stanley Road, construction will take place in phases, with traffic accommodated via detour routes during the construction of the new traffic circle. On Saul Street, lane restrictions

will be managed using flagmen and a stop-go system where required. “While every effort will be made to minimise disruption, road users should expect some congestion, particularly during peak periods as we work hard to keep Cape Town moving. We encourage motorists to plan

Regional gamer champs crowned

T The bugle call played at the start of the silence on Remembrance Day is “The Last Post”, which signals that a soldier’s day is done and represents their ﬁnal rest.

FROM PAGE 1 It is about remembering the men and women behind those names — people who left their homes and families to serve, and some who never returned. This event is therefore about remembering the human cost of war and recognising the courage

and sacrifice of those who were called upon to serve. Behind every name on a War Memorial was a person, someone who had a family, friends and a life before they went to war. We have a responsibility to make sure that those people are not forgotten.”

Wreaths laid at the War Memorial in Bellville.

IDEALS REMAIN UNCHANGED The MOTH ideals remain particularly relevant as the number of surviving veterans from the Second World War and later conflicts continues to decline. “Remembrance is not simply an annual ceremony. It is an ongoing commitment to preserve the memory of those who served and to pass that responsibility on to future generations,” says Jordaan. Bomb Alley’s connection with the local community has also continued to evolve. In 2024 the Shellhole moved to its new home at the Lions Club Brackenfell. The move has provided Bomb Alley with a new base from which to continue its MOTH activities and strengthen its involvement in the local community. “The shellhole’s work is not confined to one day each year. Its members continue to support one another and participate in remembrance parades and commemorative events, while maintaining links with other veterans’ organisations and community groups,” Jordaan concluded.

Motorist demands answers DESIRÉE RORKE

DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA

ix months after filing a complaint with traffic services over daily lawlessness of taxi drivers, a concerned Brackenfell resident is still waiting for answers, and says nothing on the road has changed, endangering the lives of other road users across the northern suburbs of Cape Town. The resident, whose identity is being protected, describes a daily barrage of reckless taxi behaviour along several roads in Brackenfell and surrounds that includes taxis blocking lanes, skipping slipways and forcing their way ahead of law-abiding motorists at intersections. In his written complaint to the traffic department he attached detailed illustrations of the routes on Google Earth photos of where the daily violations occur. These roads among others include De Bron, Eversdal, Mountainview and Fairtrees road as well as Eskom Crescent. “This is a textbook example. A taxi stopped dead in the middle of De Bron Road, blocking an entire lane, despite there being a designated area to pull over barely two meters further on. Having caused the congestion himself, the driver then used the very gap his blocking had created to drive down to the traffic light, ignored the slipway completely, turned left directly at the light, and forced his way in front of every single vehicle legitimately waiting to turn into Mountain View drive,” he says. “I want to be absolutely clear that this is not an isolated incident I am blowing out of proportion. It is a daily occurrence. Every day these drivers treat the rules of the road as if they simply do not apply to them, and every day there is not a single officer anywhere to be seen holding them to account.”

Woensdag,26Augustus 2026

RESIDENT PENS COMPLAINT TO CITY ABOUT DAILY TAXI LAWLESSNESS “It has now been close to six months since traffic services acknowledged my complaint and undertook to monitor the situation and provide feedback. I have had no feedback, and far more importantly, nothing on the road has changed,” he told the newspaper. To the City he writes “I have given you the routes. I have reported the behaviour, yet the only response I received was that I should phone 107 each time, as though the responsibility for policing our roads now rests with the motorists being endangered rather than with the City that taxes us for that very service. “That is not a solution. It is an admission that there is no proactive enforcement whatsoever. So let me ask plainly, what options are actually left to the tax paying citizens of this city? I cannot take the law into my own hands. I cannot take these taxi drivers to court myself.” The resident warned that growing “we own the road” behaviour from taxi drivers, combined with continued population growth in the Western Cape, points to a City that has lost its grip. “It does not take a rocket scientist to see that the City no longer has any control over the roads, and with more and more people flocking to the Western Cape, I don’t see the City regaining any control without taking drastic steps.” He is demanding concrete answers. “What concrete enforcement action has actually been taken on the reported routes, and what plan exists to put visible, consistent traffic policing back on the

roads so that these drivers can no longer act with complete impunity?” “Drivers that blatantly and constantly show no regard for the rules and face no consequences as there simply is absolutely no one to police them.” CITY FIRES BACK The City has hit back at the claim that taxi lawlessness goes unchecked, calling the accusation “disingenuous” and pointing to thousands of fines, impoundments and arrests as evidence of active enforcement. In a written response, Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith said traffic services issues thousands of fines and impounds hundreds of taxis every month, with statistics published weekly on the City’s website and social media platforms. Smith acknowledged the City receives hundreds of complaints daily but said officers cannot remain static in any one area due to the sheer demand on the service. “The safety and security directorate’s efforts to address the lawlessness on the roads are well documented,” he said. He referred to the City’s administrative logistics for an amended by-law, recently gazetted, that strengthens provisions for impounding vehicles. “Now that it has been gazetted, traffic officers are able to impound vehicles in a number of instances, including where the vehicle is being driven on a public road in a manner that is reckless and poses an immediate or imminent danger to the life of passengers, road users, or pedestrians,” he said. Smith noted the by-law targets lawlessness across all motorists, not only taxi drivers, and urged residents to report reckless driving to the Public Emergency Communication Centre on 021 480 7700.

City warns of congestion until December Roadworks at the Okavango Road and Hennop Road intersection in Kraaifontein and Durbanville got under way on Friday 21 August, with completion earmarked for 15 December. Construction will run from 07:30 to 17:00, Monday to Friday, and 07:30 to 14:00 on Saturdays. The upgrades include road and intersection widening, stormwater drainage installation, upgraded intersection signalling and improved streetlighting. Mayco member for urban mobility Rob Quintas said the roadworks were identiﬁed through the City’s development approval requirements for a new development in the area, and would accommodate the increase in traffic generated by further development in Kraaifontein and Durbanville. The same number of traffic lanes will remain available throughout the project, but congestion can still be expected. The City is urging residents to use alternative routes where possible. “We ask that residents please be patient while these works are under way as some noise can be expected during this time,” said Quintas.

Cape Town drives 50% of job growth

ape Town has accounted for nearly half of all new jobs created across South Africa’s eight metropolitan municipalities over the past five years, according to the latest Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) Quarterly Labour Force Survey data. According to a statement by the City of Cape Town, they added 418 000 jobs between the first quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2026, representing 49,6% of the total 841 000 jobs added across the metros during the period. Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis said the city’s job growth was greater than that

of the next four largest metros combined — Johannesburg, eThekwini, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni. “Cape Town is one of eight metros, but we are home to a full 50% of all new jobs across South Africa’s cities,” said Hill-Lewis. CAPE TOWN OUTPACES GAUTENG METROS The figures show Cape Town added 6,4 jobs for every job created in Johannesburg during the period. The city also added more than four jobs for every one added in Tshwane and Ekurhuleni.

While Cape Town added 418 000 jobs, eThekwini recorded 142 000, Tshwane 102 000, Ekurhuleni 96 000 and Johannesburg 65 000. Buffalo City added 50 000 jobs, while Nelson Mandela Bay added 14 000. Mangaung was the only metro to record a decline, with 46 000 fewer jobs. Hill-Lewis said the figures were encouraging but acknowledged that more work remained to be done. “There’s still plenty to do, but we are so encouraged by the 418 000 jobs added in our city over the current term,” he said.

Cape Town's broad unemployment rate was therefore 11 percentage points lower than Buffalo City's, the next-best performing metro. The city also recorded the lowest labour force inactivity rate at 28,7%.

CITY RECORDS LOWEST BROAD UNEMPLOYMENT Cape Town also recorded the lowest broad unemployment rate among the eight metros in the second quarter of 2026. The city's rate stood at 24,3%, compared with 35,3% in Buffalo City and 37,8% in eThekwini. The broad measure includes unemployed people as well as those who are not actively looking for work. At the other end of the scale, Ekurhuleni recorded a broad unemployment rate of 42,7%, followed by Mangaung at 41,2% and Johannesburg at 40,1%.

MORE PEOPLE ENTERING THE LABOUR MARKET The City's labour force grew by 396 000 over the period, which Hill-Lewis said showed that more people were finding work or actively looking for employment. Cape Town's labour inactivity rate fell by eight percentage points during the term, according to the City’s media release.

Twee Durbanville-wyne die beste

wee wyne van die Durbanville-wynvallei is verlede Vrydagaand bekroon as Suid-Afrika se beste jongwyne in hul kategorieë in die strawwe nasionale SA Jongwynskou. Dit is die 2026 Chenin Blanc (gehout) van Groot Phesantekraal en die 2026 Shiraz (gehout) van die Diemersdal-wynlandgoed. Hierdie jaarlikse skou vir wyne van die huidige oesjaar word aangebied deur die SA Nasionale Wynskouvereniging (SANWSV) in samewerking met AgriExpo, wat steeds nóú betrokke is by die hierdie merkwaardige kompetisie as die oorspronklike eienaar en sy verbintenis as beskermheer tot vandag handhaaf.

goue medaljes opgelewer. GEHOUTE PINOTAGE 'n Gehoute pinotage van Wellington Wines is bekroon as die SA Kampioenjongwyn van 2026, nadat dit ook as die beste pinotage aangewys is. Dit is die derde keer dat dié wynmakery die trofee as algehele wenner verower. Wellington het ook in 2018 dié prestasie behaal, ook met 'n pinotage-wyn, en in 2023 met 'n cabernet sauvignon. KWV het die Pietman Hugo-trofee vir die derde keer gewen as die wynmakery wat die meeste punte met sy vyf beste ingeskrewe wyne behaal het. Dit is die tweede keer agtereenvolgens dat KWV met dié trofee wegstap nadat hulle dit verlede jaar, asook in 2015, losgeslaan het. Hulle het uitgeblink deur drie nasionale trofeë te verower, naamlik vir die KWV Sauvignon Blanc (gehout), KWV Petit Verdot (gehout) as die beste ander rooi kultivar en met die KWV Petit Verdot/ Pinotage/Carignan (gehout) as beste rooi versnit. SPOGDINEE Die kompetisie se indrukwekkende versameling nasionale trofeë is oorhandig by ’n spogdinee wat deur Agri-Expo by die Elsenburg-landboukollege aangebied is. Altesaam 52 wyne het klaswenner-status behaal en 117 wyne het goue medaljes ontvang. Vanjaar se 1 387 inskrywings is deur 88 spesialis-beoordelaars op 13 panele in oënskou geneem. Die beoordelaars was dit eens dat die gehalte van die 2026-wyne puik is, ondanks ‘n uitdagende parstyd wat wingerdboukundiges en wynmakers se tegniese vermoë deeglik beproef het, lui ‘n mediaverklaring.

BESTE VERTONING Die voorsitter van die SA Jongwynskou, Christo Pienaar, het gesê die gehalte van die jongwyne het vanjaar besonder beïndruk. Ondanks die uitdagende omstandighede het die sleutelkultivars deurgaans uitnemende wyne opgelewer, met sterk geurkonsentrasie, gebalanseerde sure en suikers, asook uitstekende kleurontwikkeling in rooiwyne, het hy gesê. “Dit is opwindend om Kaapstad as nuwe streek hartlik welkom te heet by die SA Jongwynskou en verblydend dat die nasionale wenners van oor die land se wynproduksiegebiede kom, sowel as van ‘n verskeidenheid tipes wynmakerye. Die SA Jongwynskou bly ná 194 jaar steeds relevant vir die wynbedryf. Dit gee ’n waardevolle eerste kykie na die gehalte en potensiaal van die nuwe oesjaar, asook vroeë aanduidings van nuwe wyne en wyntendense.”

Warrant dodgers get home visits Several Cape motorists, who had been ignoring their outstanding warrants of arrest as a result of a traffic infringement, were visited at home by traffic officers last week. As a result, the City of Cape Town’s traffic services were able to collect R110 000 on outstanding warrants. Kevin Jacobs, traffic services spokesperson, said motorists with outstanding fines or warrants are encouraged to settle these as soon as possible. On Wednesday 19 August traffic officers executed 160 warrants at 54 addresses across the metro, said Jacobs, adding that the operation forms part of an effort to ensure that motorists are held accountable for traffic transgressions committed. THOUSANDS OF WARRANTS ISSUED YEARLY The traffic services execute, on average,

OFFICERS COLLECT R110 000 IN WARRANT OPERATION more than 96 000 warrants each year, Jacobs said. “In this latest operation, 16 people were arrested, while 39 were released on a warning.” Suspects finalised outstanding warrants to the value of R110 000 at the department’s mobile payment centre, said Jacobs. Jacobs said apart from trace operations, traffic officers can also enforce outstanding warrants through routine patrols or using automated number plate recognition technology. He added that motorists with outstanding warrants are also unable to conduct certain transactions on the NaTIS system, including renewing driving or vehicle licences.

BEWARE OF SCAM Earlier this month the City’s traffic services warned motorists not to fall for a scam in which they are instructed to pay a fine within 24 hours or face legal action. The scam involved email or text messages being sent to motorists demanding them to pay the fine. “We want to remind the public to please be careful and verify notices received before making payment or sharing their details. In Cape Town, infringement notices are sent via post and MMS, with follow-up SMS reminders. They will include a picture of the fine notice and links to two online platforms,” Jacobs said back then.

Graves’ warrior turns diagnosis into book DESIRÉE RORKE DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA

hen his heart started racing and the weight started falling off, people told him he was "just stressed". Diagnosed with Graves' disease in early 2024, Thembalethu John Kumatana from Kraaifontein has turned two years of living with the autoimmune condition into a guide for others. His book, Living with Graves

AUTHOR TACKLES MYTHS SURROUNDING GRAVES’ DISEASE Disease: A South African Perspective, published this year, grew out of the journaling he started just to make sense of it all. Born in Elliot in the Eastern Cape in 1982, the author wanted to share his journey with others in the hope of strengthening them.

Each book represents a different chapter of his life and a different journey of healing.

"I have come to learn that you do not write for applause. You write because you must, because your story might be the one that helps someone else feel less alone," he tells TygerBurger. Graves' is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, causing it to produce too much thyroid hormone. The result, he says, is that the whole body goes into overdrive, racing heart, unexplained weight loss, insomnia, trembling hands and mood swings. "The hardest part was hearing 'but you look fine'," he says. "Because not every day is the same. Some days I had energy. Other days I could barely get out of bed from fatigue and muscle weakness." Thembalethu says thyroid disease is under-discussed in South Africa, where getting a diagnosis, understanding medication like Carbimazole and Methimazole, managing frequent blood tests and covering the costs is "a journey". He also tackles three myths head-on, that patients caused the disease themselves, that a pill cures it, and that it only affects the thyroid. Graves' can also impact the eyes, skin and heart, and remission can be followed by relapse.

WHY THE BOOK "I'm not a doctor. I'm a Graves warrior," he says. "And our job is to educate and share." He says he wrote the book so the next person diagnosed doesn't feel alone, so families understand what is happening, and to build awareness and survival strategies together. His advice to others is to ask questions at every doctor's visit, find a community, track symptoms and advocate for yourself in the healthcare system. "If you're reading this and you've just been diagnosed, please know: it gets better. It's a journey, a process." Writing a book is an experience that is difficult to put into words, says Thembalethu who has authored several other books on topics such as the importance of fatherhood and a counselling guide. "It begins as a thought, a whisper in your heart that refuses to leave you. A story that needs to be told. There is a deep excitement that comes with it, the moment when the first words finally find their way onto the page. Your heart beats faster. You feel a sense of purpose, a feeling that your voice will finally be heard. Seeing your name on the cover for the first time is an overwhelming moment, a mixture of tears, joy and disbelief. It is the moment you realize, I really did it." he says. "But behind that excitement is

Thembalethu John Kumatana

also hard work and vulnerability. “We do not write for ourselves. We write for people to understand. “Everyone is going through something. So our role is to communicate, to educate, to inspire, and I have chosen to do that through writing. I do not know any other way of fighting my battles, but when I get a pen and paper, I transfer my feelings and it makes a lot of sense to me. It leaves me lightened. “It relieves the stress, it relieves the anxiety. Writing for me is therapeutic. That is how I have found peace, between those pieces of paper.” For more information contact the author on 071 880 2717.

THINKING OUT LOUD

LEWENSKIEKIE

People on the streets are also human On a sunny winter's afternoon in Cape Town, it is easy to become absorbed in the beauty of the city. The blue skies, warm sunlight and busy streets can make it tempting to believe that everything is well. But on the streets, another reality exists: one that many people walk past without a second thought It is the reality of people living there. For many, the sight of someone sleeping under a bridge, sitting on a pavement or pushing their belongings in a trolley has become part of the city's landscape. We see them, but don’t really see them. We make assumptions about how they got there and, sometimes, we judge them. But perhaps the most important lesson is that we should not judge. People living on the streets have hopes, talents, friendships, memories and dreams. Their circumstances are different from ours, but their humanity is not. I recently wrote about Sally Roman, who has lived on the streets of Cape Town for more than 20 years. She arrived in the city as a teenager, hoping to find a better life. Her journey did not unfold as she had hoped. Yet, sitting on the Fan Walk in Green Point, with a pair of scissors in her hand, Sally is not defined by homelessness. She is a self-taught hairdresser. She loves children. She loved singing in her school

PEOPLE LIVING ON THE STREETS HAVE HOPES, TALENTS, FRIENDSHIPS, MEMORIES ...

choir. She describes herself as someone who gets along with everyone. What is equally striking is the bond she has formed with the people around her. Her friend speaks warmly about her after she cuts his hair. He is happy with the result, but his words reveal that the value of the interaction goes beyond a haircut. He describes Sally as a nice person who is always happy. These friendships remind us that people living on the streets build communities too. They look out for one another. They share stories, laughter and sometimes the little they have. They form genuine connections because, in a difficult environment, having someone who knows you, understands you and accepts you can mean everything. Life on the street is undoubtedly difficult. It can expose people to violence, hunger, illness, loneliness and uncertainty. But it can also create bonds that are difficult for those outside that world to understand. During Women's Month, Sally's message that women should support one another is particularly powerful. She speaks against the tendency to put other women down and calls for more love between women. Perhaps that message extends beyond women. We all need to ask ourselves how we treat people whose lives look different from ours. Compassion does not mean ignoring the challenges associated with homelessness. It means recognising the person behind the circumstances. It means understanding that not everyone chose to live on the street. For many, a series of difficult circumstances, limited opportunities, family breakdown, poverty or other challenges led them there. Sometimes, what a person needs most is not judgement, but a listening ear, a conversation, a meal, a kind word, a moment of dignity. We may not be able to change someone's life, but we can choose how we respond to them. Because the people on our streets are someone's friend, someone's parent, someone's child and above all, they are human beings deserving of love, compassion and dignity. - KAYLYNNE BANTOM

BRIEWE/LETTERS

Concern for plight of Rawsonville Thank you for I am writing out of deep concern for the community and local businesses of Rawsonville, a small farming town. Following the severe rain and ﬂooding across the province, the main bridge connecting surrounding farms and communities to the town centre sustained critical damage. It is currently closed to all vehicular traffic and accessible only to pedestrians. As a result, residents and farmers are forced to take a 60 km detour to reach the other side or travel all the way to Worcester to conduct basic business. Local business owners are suffering severely under these circumstances. Several have had to lay off staff, and some have been forced to close down entirely due to the drastic decline in foot traffic and trade. Despite political representatives visiting for multiple meetings, no practical repairs or relief efforts have begun to assist this farming community.

This situation imposes a massive ﬁnancial and logistical strain on everyone, forcing workers and residents to commute signiﬁcantly longer distances for work and daily necessities. It is disheartening to see both national and local governments leave a struggling community to fend for itself. Furthermore, I was informed that a local company offered to create a temporary crossing for cars to relieve the congestion, but was reportedly halted by a nearby mining company along the river (though I cannot independently verify this report). It raises a painful question: why must smaller, vulnerable communities suffer the most and wait the longest for emergency assistance? For anyone travelling in or near the area, please make a conscious effort to support our local businesses. JACQUES, E-mail

Traffic services need more visibility There are comments made by the mayor about being the best municipality in the country — with concern for the well-being, safety and security of the citizens of this city but it appears that the mayor and the senior official responsible for safety and security have a total disregard. Many letters have been written in the local Wednesday newsmedia regarding the disregard for stop signs, yield signs, red traffic lights, but there are no traffic police who spend time in the suburbs patrolling. There has been no evidence by the mayor or the senior official providing instructions to the traffic police, to apply the law, neither any mention of these lawless incidents are stated as key performance indicators. Visibility of traffic police is only evident when a road incident occurs and they arrive in their numbers, but during the normal daily traffic movement "they are out of sight, out of mind". The success of any organisation is determined when the most senior official in the business drives the company through KPI's down to the lowest level to ensure the desired results are achieved. At the City. Fines should be issued to a few citizens for disobeying, disregarding stop signs, yield signs, traffic lights and tailgating, and the message will soon have the desired effect. DISGUSTED, Uitzicht, Durbanville JP Smith, Mayco member for safety and security, responds: The City’s traffic service issues thousands of ﬁnes to motorists each month. As indicated previously, these statistics are available and traffic service reports are presented monthly at the subcouncil. Therefore, to claim there is little to no enforcement is disingenuous.

The efforts of the safety and security directorate to address the lawlessness on the roads are well documented. In addition, the City’s traffic service is now finalising the administrative logistics required for enforcement of the amended by-law recently gazetted. The amendments centre on the provisions for impounding vehicles and related penalties. Now that it has been gazetted, traffic officers are able to impound vehicles in a number of instances, including where the vehicle is being driven on a public road in a manner that is reckless and poses an immediate or imminent danger to the life of passengers, road users, or pedestrians. In the last year, between July 2025 and June 2026, the City’s traffic service recorded nearly four million offences. During the period, they made 2 767 arrests — up from 2 255 the year before. Drunk driving arrests increased by 32% from 1 619 in 2024/25 to 2 138. The Traffic Enforcement Unit recorded the following successes. A total of 20 deployments were held in Durbanville (9), Uitzicht (6), and Fisantekraal (5); a total of 1 143 fines were issued in Durbanville (658), Uitzicht (213) and Fisantekraal (272); and a total of 41 taxis impounded in Durbanville (23), Uitzicht (9) and Fisantekraal (9). The traffic enforcement statistics and the hundreds of thousands of complaints every year are key reasons why we introduced this by-law in the first place, and then spent three years working on even tougher amendments, to address the continued lawlessness on our roads, perpetrated by the motoring public and not just taxi drivers. I encourage residents to report reckless and negligent driving to the public emergency communication centre on 021 480 7700.

your kindness

Dear kind strangers, I hope this message somehow ﬁnds its way to the wonderful couple who paid for our meal at Wimpy Groot Phesantekraal Mall on Saturday morning 8 August. I want you to know how deeply touched I was by your kindness. At a time when I’m was struggling to walk because of my Parkinson’s Disease, your thoughtful gesture brought me comfort, dignity and a reminder that there are still people in this world who notice others and care. You did not just pay for a meal - you gave us a moment of warmth and encouragement on a difficult day. Your generosity meant far more than you could know, and I will remember your kindness for a long time. Thank you for showing such kindness to someone you didn’t even know. May the goodness you shared return to you many times over. With sincere gratitude, a grateful stranger. YVETTE MEYER, Buh-Rein Estate

The unsafe outdoors I read with a wry smile the letter about Saturday-night window shopping in Bellville. (TB 19/8) I too remember Voortrekker Road as the heartbeat of our weekends, the strolling, the chatting, the simple pleasure of looking before buying. But I must respectfully push back on one point. Online shopping is not the villain here. It is a tool, and like any tool, it depends on how we use it. Yes, a website cannot replace the warmth of a shopkeeper's greeting or the pleasure of browsing with a friend. But online shopping has also given elderly residents, people with disabilities and working parents access to goods and services they might otherwise never reach. It is not impersonal by nature, it is efficient. The real tragedy is not that we shop online, but that we feel unsafe outdoors. If we want our town centres back, we must ﬁght for them not merely mourn their passing. Bellville is not beyond saving. New developments, improved lighting, visible policing and community-driven initiatives can change the picture. The Brackenfell Business Improvement District has shown what organised community action can achieve. There is no reason Bellville's CBD cannot follow suit. The Valiant is long gone, and no website will bring it back. But neither will nostalgia alone revive a street. If every resident who remembers the good old days committed to visiting a local shop once a week, the difference would be visible within months. I share the longing. But longing without action is just a sigh. Let us shop local, support local and walk our streets again. carefully, yes, but deliberately. HAPPY SHOPPER, Brackenfell

City releases more land for housing T

he City of Cape Town’s land release programme is channeling over 14 000 affordable housing units worth R26 billion in private sector capital into communities that already exist, while opening the door to dignified, well-located homes for more Capetonians. It is as much a housing project as it is a socio-economic investment programme, according to the City. In his address to the Affordable Housing Investment Connect conference in Cape Town last week, Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis said the City has released more land for affordable housing in the current term than the decade prior under its Priority Programme to accelerate land release. The City is aiming to forge strong publicprivate partnerships for more affordable housing, and thus brought together private sector developers, financiers, government, and international finance bodies for this groundbreaking conference. According to the City, land parcels with

a yield of over 14 000 affordable units are currently in the active land release pipeline or project packaging stage. A further 7 000-unit yield is estimated across land parcels already awarded to developers, while over 6 000 completed social housing units are already in operation in Cape Town. Carl Pophaim, Mayco member for human settlements, said the City had released land valued at R1,7 billion in just the last two years. “We’ve released land with an estimated yield of 13 766 opportunities over the past two years. Over this period, the City also enabled more than R960 million in discounted release, bulk infrastructure investment, and incentives to enhance the viability of projects,” he said. “If this is what we’ve been able to do in just over two years, imagine what we will achieve as our programme matures.” “Our unique land release for affordable housing programme is essentially a neighbourhood socio-economic investment

LAND PARCELS WITH A YIELD OF OVER 14 000 AFFORDABLE UNITS ARE IN THE ACTIVE LAND RELEASE PIPELINE programme. This programme unlocks economic growth, and improved infrastructure, services, and amenities in existing neighbourhoods, while also enabling greater access to dignified, well-located accommodation for more Capetonians,” said Councillor Pophaim. CALL FOR FUNDING The City is also calling for national grant-funding to be increased dramatically, and for it to be directly allocated to the metro, rather than via the red-tape laden Social Housing Regulatory Authority (SHRA). According to the City, Cape Town’s housing market has seen significant

shifts in recent years, with Covid-19 enabling greater mobility and driving high semigration to the city. Two broad forces are behind the demand, people seeking employment opportunities, drawn by the city’s higher employment rate, and growing confidence in good governance prompting investment. Looking ahead, the pressures are set to intensify. Cape Town’s population is expected to grow to 8,4 million people over 24 years, with 70% of housing demand, both ownership and rental, falling in the affordable bracket. Between now and 2050, more than one million housing units will be required to meet the demand. The market has also seen a noticeable shift from freehold to sectional title developments, which now make up more than 50% of total property sales. According to the City, affordable housing brackets for ownership properties are valued at up to R1,5 million, while the rental space targets households earning between R3 500 and R34 800 per month.

US se Sunskill-sentrum vier ‘n dekade van uitnemendheid Die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) se Sunskill-sentrum vir Chirurgiese Vaardigheidsopleiding by sy Tygerbergkampus buite Kaapstad het pas 'n dekade van uitnemendheid in chirurgiese onderrig gevier. Terselfdertyd het dit ook 'n belangrike nuwe hoofstuk in sy ontwikkeling ingelui met die uitbreiding van sy aanbod van opleiding in robotgesteunde chirurgie, luidens 'n verklaring deur die universiteit. Dié sentrum, wat tot stand gekom het danksy 'n langdurige vennootskap tussen die US en Medtronic — 'n wêreldleier in gesondheidsorgtegnologie — het tot 'n toonaangewende platform vir chirurgiese opleiding, vaardigheidsontwikkeling en gesondheidsorginnovasie in Afrika ontwikkel. Die insluiting van opleiding in robotgesteunde chirurgie versterk die sentrum se rol in die bevordering van voorpunt- chirurgiese praktyke, die gebruik van tegnologie en pasiëntsorg dwarsoor Suid-Afrika en die vasteland, lui die verklaring. "Die sentrum bied al langer as 'n dekade praktiese opleiding van wêreldgehalte vir chirurge en ander gesondheidsorgwerkers en ondersteun sodoende kliniese uitnemendheid, die gebruik van tegnologie en beter pasiëntsorg oor Afrika heen,” het prof. Karin Baatjes, vise-dekaan: leer en onderrig van die fakulteit geneeskunde en gesondheidswetenskappe, gesê. "Ons is net so opgewonde oor die volgende hoofstuk van uitbreiding na die vinnig ontwikkelende veld van opleiding in robotgesteunde chirurgie."

DUISENDE GESONDHEIDSORGWERKERS ONDERSTEUN Sunskill, wat in die US se Biomediese Navorsingsinstituut geleë is, is een van Afrika se voorste fasiliteite vir chirurgiese opleiding en onderrig. Sedert die opening daarvan in 2016 het dit die professionele ontwikkeling van meer as 10 000 gesondheidsorgwerkers deur middel van meer as 800 opvoedkundige en praktiese opleidingsgeleenthede ondersteun en sodoende toegang tot gevorderde mediese onderrig, innoverende tegnologieë en kliniese vaardigheidsontwikkeling onder leiding van kundiges gebied, lui die verklaring. Sunskill het oor die afgelope dekade chirurge, verpleegkundiges, kliniese ingenieurs en multidissiplinêre gesondheidsorgspanne van Suid-Afrika, elders op die vasteland en die buiteland verwelkom. "Die uitbreiding na opleiding in robotgesteunde chirurgie is nog 'n belangrike mylpaal in Sunskill se ontwikkeling," het prof. Ian Vlok, direkteur van Sunskill en hoof van die afdeling neurochirurgie aan die US, gesê. "Hierdie nuwe aanbod skep geleenthede vir chirurge van Suid-Afrika en dwarsoor Afrika om blootstelling aan een van die belangrikste tegnologiese ontwikkelings in moderne chirurgie te kry. Deur toegang tot gevorderde opleiding in robotgesteunde chirurgie te bied, rus Sunskill gesondheidsorgwerkers toe met die vaardighede en selfvertroue wat nodig is om die hoogste standaarde van pasiëntsorg te lewer."

Youth Classical Concert celebrates 55th year YOUNG SOLOISTS WILL PERFORM ON STAGE

Soprano Phoebe Damons (20) from Bellville

he annual Youth Classical Concert celebrates its 55th year at Artscape on Saturday 5 September at 19:00. Twelve young classical musicians and singers who auditioned successfully will perform as soloists with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO), conducted by Brandon Phillips. Presented by Artscape and the CPO, supported by the City of Cape Town, the concert gives young musicians the opportunity to perform with a symphony orchestra on a professional stage. Audition candidates had to be bona ﬁde music students, perform at a high standard and reside or study in the Western Cape. The concert is a celebration of young musical talent, not a competition. The programme includes concertos by Ravel, Mozart, Shostakovich, Hofmeyr, Weber, Ibert, Khachaturian and Donizetti, with arias by Saint-Saëns and Handel. SOLOISTS The soloists, aged between 12 and 22, include pianists Giorgia Ehlers (19) from Mowbray, Alexander McIvor (18) from Cape Town and siblings Xizhi Aiden Luo (15) and Weien Amy Luo (18) from Stellenbosch. Other instrumentalists are cellist Solange Rojas (22), raised in Lima, Peru, marimba player Kyrah Adams

(20) from Paarl, clarinettist Benjamin Monvoisin (12) from Loevenstein, euphonium player Kumkani Kabane (20) from Cape Town and saxophonist James Cilliers (20) from Durbanville. Singers are sopranos Phoebe Damons (20) from Bellville and Sinesipho Tokwe (19) from Observatory, and mezzo-soprano Lilitha Nkuku (20) from Goodwood. Each soloist receives mentoring from Phillips, resident conductor of the CPO, head of woodwinds at the South African College of Music at the University of Cape Town and conductor of the UCT ensembles. This year marks the 11th Youth Classical Concert he will conduct. Since the concert's inception, more than 600 young musicians have performed with the CPO. Many are now soloists or members of South African and international symphony orchestras and opera companies. A record 75 applications to audition were received this year. The concert runs for two hours, including a 30-minute interval. Fine Music Radio will broadcast the concert live. Tickets are R100 for adults, R50 for pensioners, students and scholars, and R80 for block bookings of ﬁve or more. Book through Webtickets or Artscape Dial-a-Seat on 021 421 7695. No children under age six.

International ballet talent comes to CT The 13th South African International Ballet Competition (SAIBC) concluded with a gala at the Artscape Opera House on Thursday 6 August. This year's competition, supported by the City, brought together 118 dancers aged between nine and 22. They competed across the Scholar, Junior and Senior divisions. Dancers took part in Classical Ballet, Contemporary, Choreographic and Ensemble categories. Competitors from South Africa and countries including Cuba, Russia and the United Kingdom (UK) gathered in Cape Town for the semi-finals and finals, highlighting the competition's growing reputation as a leading international ballet platform on the African continent. Founded by Dirk Badenhorst, artistic director of Mzansi Ballet, the SAIBC remained the only international ballet competition of its kind in Africa. It provided young dancers with performance experience, international exposure and opportunities to connect with leading figures in the ballet industry. The competition, a member of the International Federation of Ballet Competitions, was adjudicated by an international jury comprising Joseph Morrissey from the United States of America, Sergey Usanov from Russia, Callum Hastie from Australia, Kate Coyne from the UK, Lorelei Bari from Romania/ Germany, Ariel Mejic from Cuba and South Africa's Thoriso Magongwa, who

was based in Chechnya. The closing gala featured performances by competition winners and guest artists. Prima ballerina Angela Revie of Mzansi Ballet performed the Walpurgisnacht Pas de Deux with fellow Mzansi Ballet dancer and Cuban juror Ariel Méjica. The Awakening of Flora Pas de Deux, composed by Riccardo Drigo, was performed by Mikayla van Heerden and Royal Ballet School student and SAIBC alumnus Nico Prinsloo. The Solace Duet was performed by Omogolo Gaorekwe and Tshenolo Tshoma. Cape Town City Ballet's Zachary Healy also stepped in at short notice as a non-competitor to partner Bolshoi Ballet School graduate Luna Helm after her original partner was injured during the event. Recognition awards were presented to Artscape Chief Executive Officer Marlene le Roux, Carolyn Steyn, John Linden, Sharon Friedman, Alfred Hinkel, Andrew Warth and Magongwa. Badenhorst said the standard of entries continued to grow each year, adding that the competition allowed young dancers to inspire one another, build friendships, celebrate excellence and create opportunities for future generations. The City said its partnership with the SAIBC reﬂected its commitment to artistic excellence and the growth of the performing arts by creating opportunities for young creatives to develop their skills and gain international exposure.

Die komedie Art is van 1 tot 12 September in die Baxter-teater te sien. Hierdie internasionaal bekroonde teaterkomedie volg op die sukses van die Afrikaanse verwerking, Kuns, wat in 2025 by die KKNK gedebuteer het. Die produksie is wyd geprys en het later ook sy sukses by die Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees voortgesit. Marthinus Basson, gevierde teatermaker, is die regisseur van die plaaslike Engelse produksie met bekroonde vertolkings deur Wilhelm van der Walt, Wessel Pretorius en Ludwig Binge. Kritici het die ensemble-spel tussen dié drie akteurs as een van die produksie se sterk punte uitgesonder.

Art, geskryf deur die Franse dramaturg Yasmina Reza en in Engels vertaal deur die Oscar-bekroonde skrywer Christopher Hampton, is een van die suksesvolste kontemporêre komedies. Die storielyn is ooglopend eenvoudig: Serge koop ’n duur kunswerk wat geheel en al uit wit lyne op ’n wit skilderdoek bestaan. Sy vriend Marc is geskok. Hul gemeenskaplike vriend Yvan bevind hom in die middel. Wat begin as ’n meningsverskil oor kuns, ontrafel gou tot ’n skreeusnaakse, vlymskerp ondersoek van vriendskap, lojaliteit, identiteit, smaak en smaak. Kaartjies kos R220 en is by Webtickets beskikbaar.

Ludwig Binge, Wessel Pretorius en Wilhelm van der Walt is te sien in Art.

BOWLS LEGEND’S JOURNEY SPANS GENERATIONS

Celebrating 88 years

HERMAN JANSEN massive 5 000 hours for the love of the game, totalling about 210 days. This is how long the logbook of Walter Oosthuizen, the legendary Durbanville Bowling Club (DBC) stalwart, shows he has spent around bowling greens in his 45 years as a bowling umpire.

FORMIDABLE OPPONENT The affable Oosthuizen from Table View turned 88 yesterday (Tuesday 25 August)) and is still a formidable opponent on the greens as well. Oosthuizen, a member at DBC for 33 years, qualified as a South African Bowling Association Technical Official in 1981. He has served in this capacity for an uninterrupted 45 years. SPORTS LEGEND AWARD In 2016 already the Western Cape ministry of cultural affairs and sport honoured Oosthuizen with a Sports Legend Award "in recognition of the unselfish contribution that you have made to sport in the Western Cape". He and his wife, Pat (86), this year celebrated 65 years of married life. They got married in Worcester on 11 March 1961. The couple have lived in Table View for many years. Oosthuizen studied mechanical engineering and spent decades in Worcester at Eskom. His sporting career began as a table tennis player where he was dubbed as "King of Boland" in this sporting code. He first got Boland colours in 1959 and eventually was capped more than fifty times. He won more than sixty Boland titles. The couple moved to Cape Town in 1988 After 30 years of playing bowls, Oosthuizen won the Western Province senior single title in the 2020-'21 season. In the first round he achieved the

Walter Oosthuizen was awarded the Western Province Bowls Merit Badge in 2021 for 40 years of service to the sport.

A LIFETIME SPENT ON THE GREENS incredible feat which got him into the Guinness Book of Records in 1997. He won this match 21-0 within six heads. This is the quickest possible: The player first to 21 wins a (four-bowl) single match. 'GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS' Pat Oosthuizen used to be a formidable bowler as well. She also made the Guinness Book of Records almost 30 years ago. Her Durbanville Fours team set up a world record by beating George Lee Park 64-0 in the SA Nationals in Cape Town on 10 March 1997. A corner in DBC clubhouse is dubbed "Oosthuizen Nook", celebrating their achievements with pictures and certificates against the wall.

Purple speedos rally men for cancer awareness It’s the one day of the year when thousands of South African men proudly swap formal workwear for purple Speedos, all in the name of saving lives. The 2026 Hollard Daredevil Run is taking place on Friday 23 October and entries are now open. Over the past 17 years, this iconic men’s health movement has raised millions for the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) and the Prostate Cancer Foundation of South Africa. Funds are used to help expand education and raise awareness about prostate and testicular cancer across the country. This campaign continues to deliver tangible results for men’s health across South Africa. Since partnering with the Hollard Daredevil Run, CANSA has reached over 59 000 men through awareness initiatives, conducts an average of over 2 000 screenings annually, and has referred hundreds of abnormalities for further medical care. Last year alone, CANSA completed 610 PSA screenings during the 2025 Daredevil Run campaign. Long-standing campaign partner, the Prostate Cancer Foundation of South Africa, has also transformed funds raised through the Hollard Daredevil Run into meaningful action. With this support, the Foundation has hosted 143 education and awareness events, supported hundreds of men and their families through its national helpline, expanded access to prostate cancer educational resources in multiple South African languages, and this year will launch South Africa’s first National Prostate Cancer Registry. ‘LEKKER BALLS, LEKKER LIFE!’ This year’s tagline, “Lekker balls, Lekker life!”, celebrates the idea that taking care of your health today means being more aware, prioritizing regular screenings and getting checked early. “Wearing a purple Speedo isn’t just about having fun. It’s about making a statement. Every participant who takes part in the Daredevil Run helps break down stigma, encouraging more men to prioritize their health and understand which health checks could one day save their lives,” says Adel Kriel, head of experiential marketing at Hollard. Prostate cancer is one of the leading

causes of cancer-related deaths in South African men. One in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, with Black African men facing a 60 per cent higher risk than other population groups. A simple PSA blood test could help detect prostate cancer early, when treatment is most effective. The Prostate Cancer Foundation of South Africa recommends that Black African men and men with a first-degree family history of prostate and/or breast cancer have an annual PSA test from the age of 40. For all other men, annual PSA screening is recommended from the age of 45. While less widespread, testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men aged 15–49, affecting approximately one in every 250 males. When caught early, it is also highly treatable. EARLY DETECTION CAN SAVE LIVES According to CANSA, men aged 15–49 should perform a monthly testicular selfexamination and consult a healthcare professional immediately if they notice any lump, swelling, or unusual change. The very message at the heart of the Hollard Daredevil Run for both prostate and testicular cancers is that early detection can save lives. A simple check today could make all the difference tomorrow. The official Hollard Daredevil Run takes place on Friday, 23 October at 15:00, with the official event taking place at at Zoo Lake in Johannesburg. Participants in Cape Town and elsewhere in the country can run anywhere – their own neighborhoods, schools, or workplaces. Entries are available at Hollard Daredevil Run — This Run Takes Balls at a cost of R200, which includes a couriered registration pack and purple Speedo. The campaign also encourages all South Africans to make a difference by donating directly through the Hollard Daredevil Run BackaBuddy page. Last year’s Daredevil Run raised R1 200 000. This year, Hollard is aiming even higher, calling on more South Africans to take part, donate, and help make an even greater impact. For more information, go to www.hollard. co.za/daredevilrun.
