SANDFprepsfor Capedeployment
DESIRÉERORKE
DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA
The South AfricanNational Defence Force (SANDF) and thepolicelast week commenced preparatory operations in Cape Townahead of the military's deployment to tackle gang violence in identified crime hotspots.
Aselect contingent of police officials and SANDFmembers conducted operational scanning exercises on Wednesday and Thursday last week, involving air and ground presence of limitedforces at variousidentified locations across the city.
Brig Novela Potelwa,spokesperson for Western Cape police, emphasised that "the exercise should notbemistaken for the actual commencement of deployment of theSANDF" and described it as "essential preparation for the integrated forces ahead of theactual deployment."
Potelwa urged thepublic to "respect the operational spacethese forces require and refrain from speculatingabout their presence in thetargetedareas.
"The preparatory operations follow President Cyril Ramaphosa's announcement duringthe State of the Nation Address on 12 February that SANDFmembers would be deployed to support thepolice in addressing gang violence and illicit mining at identified crime hotspots.
The operational scanning exercise representsthe final preparatory phase before theformal military deployment commencesinthe Western Cape's most

JUDGEMENTOVERDUEASCOMPLEXITYCITED
Sapoa's attorney Ben Groot last week revealedthatwhilst thejudgement was expected by 5March in accordance with normal judicial standards requiring delivery within three months of trial, the courthas yettohand down itsdecision on thematter, which is of significant public importance
"We have no indication whatsoever of when thejudgement will be delivered," Groot told TygerBurger, expressing concernthatthe delay could affect public participation in Cape Town's 2026-'27 budgetprocess, whichbegins at the end of March.
"The case'scomplexity has probably contributed to the delay, with Sapoa's courtpapers alone comprising at least 6 000 pages, and AfriForum's documentation totallingapproximately4000 pages," he said. Afriforum broughtits own case, but thematters were heardtogether.
AfriForum's Jurie Ferreira concurred that urgent clarityisrequired to enable theCity to proceed with its 2026-'27 budget planning.
Judge President Nolwazi MabindlaBoqwana appointed afull bench to hear thematter, recognising its substantial public importance.The bench includes Judge PresidentMabindla-Boqwana herself, alongside Judges André le Grange and KateSavage
"Should Sapoa succeed, the immediate implications would probably see the three fixedchargesbased on property values set aside anddeclared unlawful," said Groot, butnoted thatimmediateimplementation would depend on thecourt's specific directions. He suggested it would make practical sense forcharges to continue until 30th June, marking the end of the City'sfinancial year.
Groot indicated thatanunsuccessful party may appeal the judgement, but that

troubled areas.
BRIEFING
Prior to the preparations starting the Western Cape Government last Sunday received abriefing from the senior management of the Western Cape police on national plans on the deployment. "The deployment will be focused on numerous high-crime policing precincts across the Western Cape which together account for approximately 55% of violent crime in the province. Cabinet noted that the SANDF will act as aforce multiplier in support of police operations and stressed that thisintervention must be implemented through strong coordination with all relevant role players," saidWinde. Winde underscored the importance of ensuring that the deployment is intelligence-driven, collaborative and informed by lessons learned from previous SANDF deployments, including the intervention undertaken in 2019.
"Cabinet noted that provincial resources and initiatives should form part of the integrated effort,including the Western Cape Government’s Law Enforcement Advancement Plan (LEAP), K9 units, technology-enabled policing tools,and the deployment of provincial traffic services to assist with stabilisation efforts," said Winde.
any appeals can only be considered once the judgement has been received.
"Theurgency of the application was partly motivated by citizens' need for insight to properly comment on municipal budgets, highlighting the case's broader implications for municipal governance and public participation processes," he said.
POLITICALCONCERNOVERBUDGETTIMELINE Budget specialist and GOOD Party PR councillor Sandra Dickson expressed dire concern over the delay in delivering the judgement on the case.
"This remains unresolved months after the December 2024 hearings whilst the 2026-'27 City of Cape TownBudget is due out on 31stMarch thisyear,"she told TygerBurger.
"Thecomplexity, multiple parties, and the City's constitutional threats have delayed judgement from Judges le Grange, Savage, and Boqwana.
“However, ratepayers feel that the judgement should have been handed down timeously."
Meanwhile, she says, Eskom's disturbing trend of ramping up fixed charges, with the 8,76% tariff hike effective April this year,spells more hardship for already overstretched ratepayers if the City prevails, layering property taxes onto already crushing bills.
Preceding the court hearing, Dickson called for fair, consumption-based tariffs that reflect actual usage and arenot discriminatory based on property values.
TheCityofCape Town defended the case, maintaining that itsfixed charges linked to property values represent a lawful and equitable approach to funding municipal infrastructure, arguing that cross-subsidisation ensures sustainability for all residents.
Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis views the policy as the only viable method to fund Cape Town's record R40billion infrastructure programme over three years, stating that wealthier residents helping fund services for the lessfortunate creates "a working city of hope for all".
PleafornomoreEasterbunnies
Rabbits are alifelongcommitment, not aseasonal gift —don’t buy yourchild abunny for Easter, warns alocal bunny lover and foster carerfrom Durbanville aftermultiple rabbits were deliberatelyshotwitha pellet gun in the Durbanville cemetery in the past two weeks.
The problem of domesticrabbits being abandoned in parksinDurbanville and the Durbanville cemetery has escalated far beyond neglect into intentionalcruelty with the rabbits suffering horrific injuries to their legs, stomachs and hindquarters, says 25-year-old Kaylin-Lee Eveleigh.
ENDUREIMMENSEPAIN
“This is not aquick or humane death. These animals endure immense pain, often for hours or days, before they are found In several cases, the injuries have been so severe that the only humane optionhas been euthanasia
“Our veterinarians have removed rg ion, ness, accountability to protect these vulnerable animalsfrom further suffering,” according toEveleigh.
DOMESTICRABBITSBEINGABANDONED
Forseveral years now, Durbanville has been facing agrowing andheartbreaking issue withdomestic rabbits being abandoned in openfields anddesignated areas
“This is largely drivenbyimpulse purchases especially around Easter where rabbits are bought as gifts, often for children.Unfortunately, once the novelty wears off, animal rescues across SouthAfrica often see an increasein surrendered rabbits because families were unaware of thelevel of care these animals require,”she warns.
“The Easter Bunny tradition dates back many years as asymbol of spring andnew life.However, the trend of giving real rabbits as Easter giftshas
HAPPYHOPPERSBUNCLUB
The Happy Hoppers Bun Club was foundedbyEveleigh in 2023 as a communityfor rabbit lovers. “We share knowledge,support responsible rabbit careand advocate for better treatment and understandingofrabbits as pets,” she says.
Shehas alsofoundedthe Fox &Friends Colour Co. this year as part of her broader creative platform, TheFox Collective. “It was createdwith the intention of producing meaningful, educational children’s books that inspire kindness, empathy and awareness around animals.”
Shehas issued aprintable Easter Bunny Care &Kindness Book to teach children aboutbunnycare,responsibilityand kindnessthrough colouring pages and engaging activities.
“It is designed to gently educate children (and parents) aboutwhatittruly means to carefor arabbit. Through fun, engaging
pages, it teaches that rabbitsare not temporary Easter gifts, but living beings that require long-term commitment, proper care and love.
“We want children to grow up understanding kindness towards animals and to help families make informed decisions before getting apet,”Eveleigh says.
“Rabbitscan live for 8–12 years and need dedicated care. If thisbook helps even one family understand what caring for abunny really means, then it’s worth it,” she says.
“Fostering involves temporarily caring for rabbitsthat have been abandoned, surrendered or rescued until they can be placed in permanent, loving homes.”

Seminar tacklesgang crisis
BRENDENRUITER
BRENDEN.RUITER@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA
With bullets still flying on the Cape Flats, killingyoungand old, aone-day seminar on “Gangsterism andSocial Dysfunction” was held at theUniversity of the Western Cape (UWC) on Wednesday 18 March, bringingstakeholders from civil society, faith-based organisations, government, policing structures, academiaand affected communities together.
TygerBurger reported on five different tripple or double murders since the beginningofMarch,stretching across communities suchasKraaifontein, Delft, Mfuleni,Nyanga, Gugulethu and Mitchell's Plain. Almostall the murdersare alleged gangland killings, with retaliation attacks being common placed.
CRIMESTATS
The most recent crime statistics (third quarter, covering OctobertoDecember 2025) show 257 out of 276 murders described as "gang-related" occurred in the Western Cape. It is alsothe province with thesecond highest murder ratio per 100 000 (15.2).
In thethird quarter nationally 6351 were killed, with 1198 occurring in the Western Cape
Theonlygood news is that there was a declineof3,4%(44 fewer) murders from theprevious quarter.
The top10stations for murder in thecountry are all in Cape Town communities. Those stations are Mfuleni, Nyanga, Delft, Gugulethu, Khayelitsha and Kraaifontein.
With thesestatisticsinmind the seminar was convened by UWC’sProf Jaap Durand, research chair in Gender, Transformation and World making in the Faculty of Law, in partnershipwiththe Cape Crime Crisis Coalition. "As gang violence and organisedcrime continue to grip communities across the Western Cape theseminarhosted by the UWC has called for urgent, coordinated action acrosssociety to address what participants describedasadeeply entrenched social crisis," reads astatement sent to TygerBurger by Prof Hein Willemse, who chairedthe seminar.
"At atime when rising violent deaths in townships and theexpansion of organised crime dominate public discourse the seminar aimed to move beyond headlines and createa collaborative platform to interrogate the roots of gangsterism, assess its social impact and propose workable interventions," said the
statement. "Discussions traced the origins of gangs in SouthAfrica, noting that some prison gangs date back more than acentury. Overtime theseformations have evolved from loosely organised street gangs intosophisticated criminal syndicates involved in drug and human trafficking, racketeering, corruption and other forms of organised crime. Participants emphasised that gangsterism is not merely criminal but also cultural, governed by internal codes, hierarchies and ideological norms. This subculture has proven resilient,adapting to changing socio-economic conditions."
SPATIALINEQUALITY
Speakers further highlighted how colonial and apartheid spatial planning had laid the groundworkfor gangsterism, particularly in the Western Cape. The legacy of forced removals, segregated communities and economic marginalisation continued to shape environmentsinwhich gangs thrive. Theseminar painted astarkpicture of the pervasive impact of gang activity. In affected areas, basic rights, including freedom of movement, association and expression are often curtailed. Gangs, in many instances, function as surrogate families in contexts marked by social fragmentation and inter-generational violence.
"Participants raised serious concerns about the infiltration of gang networks intolaw enforcement and governance structures, alongside compromised police intelligence and agrowing trust deficit between communities and the police. The vulnerability of young people emerged as acentral theme. High dropout rates among boys, particularly between Grades 7and 11, wereidentified as akey driver of gang recruitment. In high-risk districts as many as one in four learners who reach Grade 9donot complete Grade 12, while asignificant proportion of youth offenders have exited the school system prematurely.
“For girls, pathways intogang environments are often shaped by sociobiological factors, including teenage pregnancy and sexual exploitation. In the 2024-'25 period alone more than 10 000 births in the Western Cape wererecorded among mothers aged 11 to 19, with many young women not returning to school."
Theseminar concluded with aclear message: addressing gangsterism in the Western Cape requires more than law enforcement alone.

THINKING OUTLOUD
Kindness is not just virtue,it’s aresponsibility
Have you been kind today?
It’s asimple question, but one that carries weight.
In aworld that moves fast and demands more from us eachday, kindness often becomes an afterthought, something we assume we’ll get to when life feelsa little lessoverwhelming
But the truth is, kindness doesn’t require time, money, or perfect circumstances.It asks only for intention.
One only needs to scroll social media, listen to the radio or switch on the television to see how unkind we human beingshave become toward one another.
Murders, rape, gender-based violence, bullying. The list is endless.
IamaChristian and the Bible teaches us that we need to love our neighbour as we love ourselves. But sadly, we have somehow lost sight of this calling, allowing hatred,anger,and indifference to take over.
Somewhere along the way,many of us have become so consumed by our own struggles, deadlines, finances,stress,and uncertainty that we forget the quiet power of how we treat others.
We rush past people, avoid eye contact, and sometimes respond with frustration instead of patience.
Yet the smallest gestures can leave the deepest marks.
ITTAKESLITTLE EFFORTTO SPEAKGENTLY, TOLISTENFULLY
It costs nothing to offer asmile to someoneata traffic lightinsteadof turning away.
It takes littleeffort to speak gently,to listen fully, or to choose understanding over judgment.
These moments may feel insignificant, but to someone else, they canmean everything.
Imagine how different ourcommunities would feel if kindness becameadaily habitrather than an occasionalact. Kindnessbuilds connection.
It softens difficult days. It reminds people thatthey areseen, valued, and not alone.
And sometimes, it can evensave a life.The heartbreaking story of an eightyear-old girl from the Eastern Cape, who reportedly felt that escapingbullying was only possible through ending her life,isa devastating reminder of what happens in the absence of kindness.
No child should ever feel so alone, so unheard, or so hurt that they see no way out. Her storyforces us to confront an uncomfortable truth: ourwords and actionsmatter morethan we realise Whatwesay,what we ignore, and how we treat others can shape their sense of worth.
Kindness is not weakness. It is not something reserved for when it’s convenient. It is adeliberate choice that requires empathy, awareness, andeven restraint.
So, at the end of each day, perhaps we should all pause andask ourselves: Have Ibeen kind? Not just to those Iknow, but to strangers,tocolleagues, to the people whose lives briefly intersect with mine. Because in aworld where so many are silently struggling, kindness is not justa virtue. It is aresponsibility.

Single moms’suffering
Whilemuchattention hasbeen given to howthe City of Cape Town'snew fixed tariffsaffect pensioners, we must notoverlook another vulnerablegroup bearing this financial burden:singlemothers. Did the Cityeven considerthem?
Thesewomen,often juggling multipleresponsibilities whilesupporting their families on limitedincomes, nowfacethe additional strain of fixed municipal chargesregardless of their actual consumption.
Forasinglemother,every rand counts. Unlike dual-income households that canabsorb increased costs moreeasily, single mothers have no financial buffer.Manyhavealready reducedtheir electricityand waterusage to bare minimums, yetstillfacethe same fixed chargesashouseholds with significantlyhigher consumption.
Single mothers deserve betterthana one-sizefits-allapproach that ignores their unique financial challenges.

ProfRachelJafta, Chair of the Cape Town Carnival Trust, said the performers puttheir “hearts, souland bodies”into bringing this spectacle to life.
“We areaboutcommunity, human connection, joy andcreating something magnificent… we feel so honouredtobe able tobring this event to the heart of Cape Town every year.”
JP Smith, Mayco member for safetyand security, said the carnivalwas one of over 30 events took place acrossthe city this pastweekend.
“This is one of the mostdiverse and inclusive events in Cape Town. Alot of planning and logistics goesinto it.Thank youto the organisers, andspecial thank youto the fireman andlaw enforcement officers who has been going to the gym all yeartobe part of the eye candy.”
RobbenIsland is mostly associated with thesuffering, brutality and isolation endured by political prisoners who foughtagainst Apartheid. What is often overlooked is therole prisoners played in organising sport andhow it became atool of resistance,sustaining hope and preparingthemfor freedom and leadership.
“Political prisoners used sport not just for recreation, buttoorganise themselves, educateone another andcreateasense of orderinaharshsystem builtoncontrol. Sport offeredthemphysical release, emotional expression andrelieved the psychological strain of isolation, monotony and hard labour,” says Dr Vanessa Mitchell, museum and heritage education coordinator at theRobben Island Museum.
Mitchellrecently received her doctorate in Sport Science from Stellenbosch University for her research on how prisonersonthe island actively shaped theirenvironment by organising sport and recreation
SURVIVINGWITHDIGNITY
Shesays sport became atool of resistance, discipline, andsolidarity in an oppressive environment. “It became away for prisoners to create somethingmeaningful that allowed them to rise above their immediate harsh surroundings. Thesatisfaction they derivedfrom organising sport lay in the simple act of survivingwith dignity.”
Butsport was alsoabout preparation –for freedom, for leadership, and for ethical life beyondprison. “Sport on RobbenIsland mirrored the kind of societyprisoners envisioned beyond prison walls –one grounded in rules, fairness, accountability and collective responsibility, even though thiswas not initially afully conscious political project.”
Using archival sources, oral testimonies and life histories, Mitchell examined how prisoners took theleadinorganising sport, thereby fostering community and culturallife andshaping political development. Sports included chess, card games,table tennis, volleyball, athletics, kerrim —a game in whichplayers use theirhands or cue-like sticks to knock woodenorplastic discsinto the corner pockets of awoodenboard, like pool or billiards —ludo,astrategy-based board game,draughts, rugby, soccer,and lawn tennis.
“Byfocusingonsport and everyday selforganisation,myresearchadds another layertothe story –one that highlights theiragency, creativity and ability to build institutions even in incarceration,”
Dr VanessaMitchell.
Mitchell notes. “Through sport,they became organisers, administrators, referees, journalists and leaders, building theirown systems of governance under extremely difficult conditions.”
NEUTRALSPACES
It also eased tensions among political prisoners by creating neutral spaces where they could interact,Mitchell says. “The organisation of leagues and clubs mirrored democratic practice –complete with elections, constitutions and mechanisms for dispute resolution. In thisway, sport rehearsed the principles of accountability and participatory governance that many prisoners envisioned for afuture SouthAfrica.” Sport and recreation also helped bridge political, intellectual and generational divides. “Clubs were formed irrespective of political allegiance, encouraging collaboration beyond political party lines and contributing to the development of broader political consciousness,”Mitchell says.
Mitchell hopes her research will deepen understanding of Robben Island not just as asiteofsuffering, but as aplace where prisoners found moments of fun and camaraderie despite the harsh conditions

Lookatsuburb’s‘DNA’beforebuying
Choosing the right suburb is more important than the perfect house whenitcomes to long-termsatisfactionand investment success, according to aCape Town property expert.
Arnold Maritz, co-principalofLew Geffen Sotheby’s International Realty in the southernsuburbs, says buyersshould focus on understanding acommunity’s character —what he calls its “suburb DNA” —before making apurchase.
SOCIALFABRIC
“A home is alifestyle decisionfirst and a financialone second,” says Maritz. “You can renovateahouse, butyou cannot change the fundamental rhythm and social fabricofyour suburb.”
His advice comes as international research shows communitycharacter increasingly drives buyer demand
A2023 study by the UK’s Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors found that community cohesion and suburb character often outweigh purely physical property attributes.
READINGTHESIGNS
Maritz recommends moving beyond online listings to experience communities firsthand.
His strategies include visiting at different times to observestreet activity, garden conditions, and the balancebetween privacy and openness.
“Statistics tell one story; thesidewalk tellsanother,” he notes.
LOCALCAFÈS
Local cafés serve as valuable indicators of community health, accordingtoMaritz.
“Insuburbslike Claremont, or Johannesburg’s Parkhurst, localcafésact
EXPERTWARNS THAT YOUCAN’T CHANGE A COMMUNITY’SCHARACTER ORSOCIALFABRIC
as modern town squares,”heobserves.
“A thriving independent café sceneoften signals an engaged, walkable community withstrong local pride andeconomic resilience.”
He also suggests checking community socialmedia groups and speaking with locals —baristas, dogwalkers, and longtimeresidents —for unfiltered insights aboutneighbourhood changesand initiatives.
EVENINGASSESSMENTCRUCIAL
Maritzemphasises the importance of visiting potentialareas after dark
“A suburb’s personality can shift after dark,”hecautions.
“Assessthe ambience in the evening. Thisdirectly impacts perceptions of safety andlifestyle compatibility.”
The property expert concludes that successful purchases combine intuitive feeling with research into municipal plans, infrastructure projects, and property trends
“Before asking ‘Can Iafford this house?’, the essential questionis, ‘Can Isee myself belonging here?’,” Maritz states.
“Understanding the suburb DNA ensures your investmentsupports notjust your financialfuture,but your daily wellbeing.”
Bo-Kaap in Cape Town has aglobally recognised suburban DNA.
