RESIDENTS ACCUSE CITY OF BYPASSING CONSULTATION
Hansen off DA list amid fallout DESIRÉE RORKE
B CAPTURING A HISTORIC FAREWELL Desmond Tutu first to arrive at Walter Sisulu’s funeral, as captured by French-born photographer Patrick de Mervelec. Mervelec’s work is among those featured at the second Cape Town Photography Festival taking place from Wednesday 2 to Saturday 26 September. The festival will feature 40 exhibitions and more than 160 photographers at venues across the city. It explores the theme of “Truth” – an exploration of how truths are produced, challenged and resisted. “I’d like visitors to encounter an image that makes them stop, question something they thought they understood, or see their own world in a new way,” says de Mervelec, who settled in South Africa in the 1990s. The festival is also contributing to conversations around a national music photography archive, an initiative that grew from concerns about preserving South Africa’s photographic record of its musical heritage.

renda Hansen, councillor for Ward 111 in Brackenfell and Kraaifontein took to social media on Friday to announce she is “being replaced as Ward councillor by the DA”. TygerBurger has since learned that Hansen’s name is absent from the party’s candidate list for the upcoming election. This comes a week after the Bracken Heights Community Forum (BHCF) submitted a formal grievance blaming Hansen and the City for bypassing public consultation on the Brackenfell High School roadworks within Bracken Heights. The forum called for an immediate disciplinary investigation into Hansen over her handling of the Brackenfell High School infrastructure project. In a letter sent to the Subcouncil 2 manager, the Speaker of Council and Mayco member for urban mobility Rob Quintas, the forum accuses Hansen of gross dereliction of statutory duty, failure

to exercise her fiduciary duty of care, and direct breaches of the Code of Conduct for councillors under Schedule 7 of the Local Government: Municipal Structures Act. “An audit of minuted Project Liaison Committee (PLC) meetings spanning 15 months from February 2025 to May 2026 found that Hansen, who was the sole political and community representative for the school’s construction, was absent from 12 of 14 meetings, an 86% absentee rate,” the forum alleges in the letter. According to the audit conducted by the forum, 14 PLC meetings held between February 2025 and May 2026 show the transport directorate attended 0% of meetings, while the WCED attended 7%. TO PAGE 4

New road safety strategy approved at City council DESIRÉE RORKE
C
DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA
ape Town’s City Council has approved an updated road safety strategy following a public participation process, placing particular focus on pedestrians, cyclists, scholars and public transport users. The strategy directs the City’s efforts towards making Cape Town’s 10 400 km road network safer and reducing accidents and loss of life. Drafted in April, the strategy that reflects current conditions and emerging road safety challenges was open for comment in May to June. The main change is a broader focus on preventing deaths and serious injuries for all road users, rather than treating road safety primarily as a traffic-enforcement issue. The strategy specifically highlights pedestrians and other non-motorised users, including people walking and cycling. It is being backed by practical infrastructure programmes such as plans to invest in pedestrian and cycling facilities, universally accessible sidewalks, road maintenance and traffic-calming measures. Mayco member for urban mobility Rob Quintas said road safety is a key priority and every road user deserves to travel safely, whether walking, cycling, using public transport or driving. “We thank all the residents and organisations who provided valuable input to our Transport Network Safety team. The suggestions helped our specialists with further insight to how road safety affects our various communities and their commuting across Cape Town,” he said. “Existing initiatives involving schools, communities and local stakeholders will be strengthened and expanded where opportunities exist, recognising that road safety is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration between government, residents, educational institutions and civil society organisations so that, together, we can all keep Cape Town moving, safely.” PRIORITY INTERVENTIONS Through the strategy, the City will
STRATEGY FOCUSES ON PEDESTRIANS, CYCLISTS, SCHOLARS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORT prioritise safer pedestrian crossings, traffic calming measures, improved road safety around schools, safer walking and cycling environments, public awareness campaigns and targeted enforcement in high-risk locations. As an immediate next step, the City will strengthen existing road safety programmes and develop a detailed implementation framework that translates the strategy into specific actions, responsibilities and delivery timeframes. In this regard, a data-led, area-based approach will identify high-risk locations and vulnerable communities to prioritise interventions where they are most needed. The City is also finalising a performance management framework with measurable indicators, targets and reporting mechanisms to monitor and evaluate road safety outcomes. Progress will be tracked and interventions refined to ensure resources are directed where the need is greatest. FOUR MILLION OFFENCES The City says it has allocated more than R1,9 billion for road maintenance in 2026’27. Enforcement is also getting tougher, with the City’s amended traffic by-law that was gazetted in July. This gives traffic officers powers to impound vehicles in situations including illegal street racing, driving under the influence, reckless driving that poses an immediate danger, and certain numberplate offences, the City told the newspaper in response to an earlier media enquiry regarding road safety. And, the scale of the problem is significant with the City's traffic service recording almost four million offences between July 2025 and June this year, of which 2 138 were drunk-driving arrests, up 32% from the previous year.
Die Bomb Squad gaan nie sommer inplof nie Steven Kitshoff, een van die oorspronklike lede van die Springbokke se veelgeroemde Bomb Squad sê die konsep is nog ver van uitgedien. Kitshoff, afgetrede stut van die Bokke het tydens 'n ontbytgesprek, wat deur Three Cube Management gereël is, by TygerVallei-winkelsentrum gepraat. Kitshoff, Bakkies Botha en die legendariese All Black Andrew Merhtens was in gesprek met Breyton Paulse. Die Bomb Squad-idee het in die Springbok-afrigter, Rassie Erasmus-era, pos gevat met al ses voorspelerplaasvervangers wat gelyktydig op die veld gestuur word. Die idee spruit daaruit dat die Bomb Squad enige foute op die veld ongedaan moet gaan maak en sedert die 2019-wêreldbekertoernooi was dit so suksesvol dat ander spanne dit selfs begin nadoen het. Verlede week, in 'n nederlaag van 33-16 teen die Bokke se aardsvyande, die All Blacks, kon die gevreesde Bomb Squad uiteindelik nie die kastaaiings uit die vuur krap nie.
En toe is sosiale media oorval met leenstoelkenners wat meen die konsep het sy dae gehad. Nie so haastig nie, sê Kitshoff. "Dit was jammer om Kurt-Lee Arendse so vroeg (in verlede week se wedstryd op Ellis Park) te verloor en dan André Esterhuizen so vroeg op die veld te sien. Ek dink nie die Bomb Squad idee is weg nie, want baie spanne probeer dieselfde idee inbring. As daar nie beserings is nie, sien ons dalk 'n volle ses ouens op een slag eerskomende Saterdag. Dan maak dit 'n groter verskil en groter impak, soos Erasmus dit aanvanklik beplan het," sê Kitshoff. In Suid-Afrika word daar baie gespog dat die kwaliteit van die beginspan en die van die plaasvervangers dieselfde is, maar kritici sê dit is nie meer die geval nie. Wat dink Kitshoff? "Miskien op haker is daar 'n probleem, want Bongi is nog nie fiks nie. Daar word baie van Malcolm Marx verwag om vir 80 minute te speel. Op losen vaskopstut is daar nie 'n groot verskil in kwaliteit nie," sê hy.

Tygerberg Sakekamer se vroueoggend ’n treffer DESIREE RORKE

DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA
ie Tygerberg Sakekamer het in samewerking met HOOP, Bokradio se gemeenskapsprojek, verlede Saterdag weer ’n gesellige vroueoggend aangebied. Die jaarlikse gebeurtenis, ’n gewilde een op die Kaap se sosiale kalender, is dié keer by die NG kerk Stellenberg Markplein gehou. Sakevroue kon die oggend saam geniet terwyl hulle geïnspireer is deur die gasspreker, die aktrise en Boer Soek ‘n Vrou- aanbieder Marciel Hopkins-Lourens wat haar suksesverhaal gedeel het. Marciel was altyd ‘n vrou met kurwes, ‘n maat-14 op hoërskool, toe die skoonheidsideaal nog eng en onverbiddelik was. “Jy moes maer en lank wees met daardie perfekte bikinilyf,” onthou HopkinsLourens wat van kleins af tydens haar kinderjare as plaasmeisie in die Boland oor die loopplank gedroom het. Ná skool het sy drama aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch studeer, waar sy in 2013 ‘n gasrol in die kykNETmisdaadreeks Die Boland-moorde gekry het. Daarna het sy ‘n honneursgraad in sielkunde voltooi. Modelwerk, sê sy, het vir haar onbereikbaar gevoel. Tot ‘n voormalige Mej. SA-finalis haar in 2015 aangemoedig het om in te skryf. “Ek het niks gehad om te verloor nie, net ‘n bietjie gewig,” het sy vertel. Sy het 14 kg afgeskud en as een van die top-12-
’N BELANGRIKE GEBEURTENIS OP DIE KAAPSE SOSIALE KALENDER finaliste by Mej. Suid-Afrika geskitter. Maar die pad na die glanslig was nie sonder prys nie. Om haar dieet te handhaaf, het haar baie gekos, en sy het gou besef sy sou dié uiterste lewenstyl nie kan volhou nie. Die Mej. SA platform het egter vir haar die weg na ‘n internasionale modelloopbaan gebaan, en haar boodskap van selfaanvaarding by vroue laat weerklank vind. Vandag omarm sy haar lyf soos dit is en inspireer vroue om dieselfde te doen. Sunel Beeselaar, voorsitter van die Tygerberg Sakekamer, sê dit was ‘n voorreg om met inspirerende sakevroue, leiers en entrepreneurs wat die ekonomie versterk hier te wees. “Ons sakekamer is ‘n platvorm wat verbind en bemagtig. Ons glo dat ware groei nie net in syfers gemeet word nie, maar in die mense wat dit dra,” het sy gesê. “As sakevroue of vroue wat hul mans bystaan in hul onderneming weet ons wat die waarde daarin is om mekaar te kan ondersteun en te bemagtig. Vandag vier ons nie net prestasie nie, maar ook potensiaal. Die voordeel van vroue in besigheid lê in hul veerkragtigheid, hul kreatiwiteit en hul vermoë om netwerke te skep.”

Lentemark weer vanjaar by Gene Louw Die jaarlikse Lentemark word weer vanjaar van 25 September tot 3 Oktober deur The Market by die Laerskool Gene Louw aangebied. Die skoolsaal word in ’n geskenkemark omgeskep waar die publiek plaaslike entrepreneurs kan ondersteun, unieke produkte kan ontdek en tyd saam met familie en vriende kan geniet. Met meer as 120 uitstallers is daar iets vir almal. Vir The Market is ’n mark ’n plek van samesyn, waar families in ’n veilige en vriendelike atmosfeer bymekaar kan kom en ‘n heerlike koppie koffie saam kan geniet. Dit bied ook aan jong volwassenes en tieners waardevolle geleenthede om werksondervinding op te doen en die wêreld van werk te leer ken. Bo alles is dit ’n ruimte waar plaaslike entrepreneurs se stories en drome ondersteun word. Dit is die mamma wat haar passie in ’n ekstra inkomste verander het sodat haar kinders kan floreer. Die afgetredene wat ’n geliefde stokperdjie in ’n besigheid omgeskep het. Die student wat deur entrepreneurskap help om sy of haar studies te finansier. Die familie wat resepte van geslag tot geslag bewaar om ouwêreldse smake en gehalte lewend te hou. En die pa wat sy vaardighede in ’n klein onderneming omskep het om sy gesin te ondersteun. Elke stalletjie het ’n storie. Wanneer jy die Lentemark ondersteun, ondersteun jy daardie stories. Jy ondersteun drome, families en klein besighede. Deur by plaaslike entrepreneurs te koop, help die publiek om hierdie ondernemings te laat groei en dra hulle by tot werkskepping en ’n sterker plaaslike ekonomie. Besoek die Lentemark tussen 25 September en 3 Oktober op weeksdae tussen 10:00 en 19:00, en Saterdae tussen 09:30 en 15:00. Volg "The Market" op Facebook om te kyk wat vanjaar by die Lentmark te verwag is of skakel die markorganiseerder by 063 971 3576.

FROM PAGE 1 “The exhaustive audit of the minutes, the Draft Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA), and the civil engineering approvals reveal a deeply concerning pattern where public participation is bypassed, as well as reckless engineering, as disclosed at the PLC meeting held on 18 August this year, which will result in the immediate structural and operational collapse of our local road network,” the BHCF states in the grievance. “By vacating her seat, Hansen deliberately abdicated her oversight role, leaving the residents of Bracken Heights without political representation while critical infrastructure and traffic decisions were made behind closed doors.” While the BHCF support the establishment of educational infrastructure, they reject the traffic and engineering planning proposal. PROMISED MEETING NEVER HAPPENED The forum alleges the PLC minutes show a documented pattern of delaying and ultimately abandoning community consultation. According to the BHCF, a community meeting was first mooted in April 2025, postponed to “early next year” and by July 2026 reduced to “flyer drops” before construction began. However, direct neighbours dispute ever having received pamphlets. The BHCF notes the City holds email addresses of every affected homeowner for municipal billing but never used them to solicit public comment. The forum raises concern that as per the official minutes the external roadworks have expanded significantly beyond the original project scope, potentially rendering the original traffic impact assessment and environmental authorisation invalid. They argue that this significant expansion legally triggers a revised traffic impact assessment and a mandatory public participation process, neither of which appears to have occurred. “FATALLY FLAWED” According to the position paper, the traffic impact assessment was drafted in December 2024, yet engineering drawings were continuously modified between August 2025 and May this year, with vehicle simulations re-engineered as late as January this year. “Saul Street, a six-to-seven-metre-wide residential road, would be pushed to 480 vehicles per hour, 96% of its maximum capacity on day one. Plans for parents to stop, drop children and U-turn in the narrow street would guarantee blocked driveways and safety hazards,” they say. They furthermore question why Frans Conradie Drive was dismissed as an access route, arguing a slipway off an arterial road would keep high-volume traffic off the residential grid entirely. They also dismissed the June 2026 Wayleave, an internal permit allowing the contractor to dig trenches as an operational approval, not a substitute for statutory public consultation. “Engineering sign-off on asphalt thickness and roundabout geometry does

not satisfy the legal obligations of the Municipal Systems Act,” the forum says. “Construction vehicles have been hammering residential roads beyond their design capacity for 18 months, yet there is no intention to structurally upgrade the sub-base pavement layers to handle the increased traffic load. Residents will not inherit structurally destroyed roads.” NO PUBLIC PARTICIPATION The forum refers to Chapter 4 of the Municipal Systems Act and the City’s public participation policies, in accordance which ward councillors must inform residents of developments that materially alter their neighbourhoods. The BHCF says the external roadworks expanded significantly beyond the original scope, as minuted on 7 July this year to include routing 480 vehicles an hour, 96% of maximum engineering capacity, plus heavy construction fleets, down a sixmetre-wide residential street (Saul Street). “At no point did Hansen attempt to hold a public meeting, circulate correspondence, or alert her constituency to these devastating traffic plans,” the forum alleges. “She allowed the City’s transport directorate and private civil engineers to finalise technical road designs entirely without Paja-compliant public consultation.” The BHCF furthermore says Hansen violated Item 2(b) of the Code of Conduct in failing to act in the best interests of the community, as well as Item 5, in failing to remain accountable to local communities and report back to her constituency. The forum is demanding intervention and a public town hall meeting between affected ratepayers and the City’s transport directorates within 30 days. “The ratepayers of Bracken Heights elected their ward councillor to be a bridge to the city, not a barrier to transparency,” the forum said. “We trust the subcouncil will handle this matter with the utmost urgency to restore democratic accountability to Ward 111.” Speaker Felicity Purchase, a few days before Hansen’s announcement made the following statement: “The Office of the Speaker is in receipt of the aforementioned complaint and the matter will be attended to in keeping with our complaints procedures and complying with all stipulations in accordance with the applicable legislation and the Code of Conduct for Councillors.” With regard to the other issues raised, the City furthermore stated that the Western Cape Government, as custodian of the project, will have to provide comment on the matter. TygerBurger is currently awaiting reserved comment from the Western Cape Education Department on the issues rose by the BCF. Hansen did not reply to TygerBurger’s invitation to right of reply, but wrote the following on social media: “I have served the community for 15 years with joy, passion and so much love. Except service delivery and municipal issues, I built relationships, touched hearts and made a difference in the life of so many in need. I thank God for using me as an instrument to bring change.”

Weet iemand waar arme Tinkie is? DESIRÉE RORKE DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA
N
á 'n desperate sewe maande lange gesoek na haar geliefde bokhondjie Tinkie, is Marilize Lemmer van Kraaifontein se hoop aan die kwyn. "Maar net miskien sien die regte mens die berig raak, en weet waar Tinkie is," het die moedige honde-mamma verlede week aan TygerBurger gesê. Haar hart is gebroke en die trane lê baie vlak as sy aan haar geliefde hondjie dink, wat op 3 Februarie by haar huis in Zonnendal vermis geraak het. Marilize vermoed dat Tinkie deur 'n hawelose man opgetel en verkoop is, nadat sy by die erf uitgeglip het. Sedertdien het sy al duisende pamflette uitgedeel, die strate vol gery, 'n R10 000-beloning uitgereik, "spioene" ingespan, 'n diere-kommunikeerder geraadpleeg en selfs met bendelede vriende gemaak in die soektog na Tinkie. 'ONS WAGHONDJIE' "Ek en my man hoop tans vir 'n derde kind, en ek kan nie help om te dink hoe gelukkig Tinkie sou wees om nog 'n baba in die huis te kry nie. Sy sou dit so geniet het. Sy was ons waghondjie en baie beskermend, so klein soos wat sy is," sê Marilize oor die fraaie sewejarige klein Doberman Pinscher Chihuahua-kruis. "Ons was besig met opknapping
by die huis die dag toe sy vermis geraak het. Die hek was nog nie oop nie, en sy moes deur die aand uitgeglip het. Marilize het haar dadelik op verskeie sosialemedia-groepe as vermis aangemeld, en 'n Facebook-blad genaamd All about finding Tinkie, gestig. Kort voor lank het iemand met inligting gebel. "Die vrou het in Darwinstraat vir haar Uber gestaan en wag toe sy 'n hondjie met Tinkie se beskrywing in die straat af sien hardloop het. Die betrokke man het agter haar aangehol en haar opgetel en verder gestap. Sy het vir my 'n akkurate beskrywing van die man gegee wat ek dadelik op sosiale media gedeel het," vertel sy. "Só bel nog iemand my om te sê die man is saam met Tinkie by die Vlak- informele nedersetting by Goliath Estate opgemerk." SPOOR GEVOLG Marilize het haar na die informele nedersetting gehaas waar sy pamflette begin uitdeel het. "Ek het mettertyd 'n informant gekry wat my oë en ore in die nedersetting was, maar sy het my later gebel om te sê sy wil nie meer deel wees van die soektog nie, want sy 'wil nie gedreig word nie'. Sy het ook vir my gesê 'jy sal seker nooit weer jou hond sien nie'." Marilize het geweier om dit te aanvaar, en het 'n beloning van R10 000 uitgereik en gereeld die

nedersetting gaan besoek om met mense te praat. Sy het later weer inligting ontvang van inwoners dat die betrokke man nie in die nedersetting bly nie, maar net kom dwelms koop het. "Die man het toe ook sy voorkoms verander deur sy lang hare af te sny, toe hy verneem ek soek na hom," sê sy. Die Kraaifontein-polisie is om hulp gevra en het saam met hulle die Vlak deursoek, en later ook met mense in Joostenbergvlakte en Fisantekraal gaan praat. "Baie mense het gebel, maar ek het nie geweet wat om te glo en wat om nie te glo nie," sê sy.
LEIDRAAD GEKRY Voor die soektog begin het, het Marilize egter 'n dierekommunikeerder geraadpleeg om met Tinkie "kontak te maak" in die geesteswêreld. Kom ons noem haar Gladys. "Sy het vir ons gesê dat sy kon hoor, ruik en sien wat Tinkie sien. Waar Tinkie ook al was, was daar vleisreuke, mense wat in die straat braai en ook 'n groot rooi 27," sê Marilize en voeg by dat sy 'n rooi 27-bendekenteken op 'n muur by die Vlak gesien het weke nadat sy Gladys geraadpleeg het. Daar was ook baie mense wat buite gestaan en vleis braai het. Ek het dadelik geweet Gladys het iets beetgehad. "Gladys het ook gesien hoe Tinkie opgetel word en op verskillende plekke buite geslaap het. Sy is darem met 'n kombers warm gehou, en is goed na gekyk, iets wat my grootste vrees was met die komende winter. Ek het eers nie geweet of ek haar kon glo nie, maar als wat sy gesê het maak nou sin." Oor die volgende paar maande het sy al die inligting wat sy bekom het op die FB-blad gedeel met die hoop dat iemand die man sou sien. "Maar hy het onder die radar gebly. Hy was nie van plan om vir Tinkie terug te gee nie, want hy is 'n loner en het seker lief geraak vir haar." Gedurende dié tyd kon Marilize ook vasstel wie die man was en waar hy vandaan kom. "'n Vrou het gebel om te sê die
man was haar ma se broer en dat sy met hom sal gaan praat. Sy het ook genoem dat sy familie hom uitgeskop het as gevolg van sy dwelmgebruik. "Hy het glo vir haar gesê hy het nie die hondjie nie, maar het baie verdag opgetree asof hy iets weet maar nie wil sê nie. Ek het hom ook 'n paar keer self gaan soek en gevra waar my hond is. Ek vermoed nou dat hy Tinkie verkoop het toe dinge te warm geraak het vir hom." DIEFSTALSAAK GEOPEN Marilize het in April 'n diefstalsaak by die polisie geopen, maar dié is in Junie sonder enige sukses gesluit. "Dit het lank gevat om die konstabel te oorreed om die saak te open. Net omdat Tinkie asem haal, beteken dit mos nie sy is nie belangrik nie," vertel Marilize moedig. "Dis nou al sewe maande later en die ou wil nie praat nie, die polisie kan nie help nie, en ek weet nie meer wat om te doen nie. Almal soek na Tinkie, en Gladys voel Tinkie is nog in Kraaifontein, daarom gaan ek die soektoeg uitbrei na ander dele van die dorp. "Dis vir my baie moeilik. Ek huil baie, en my hart voel leeg. Sy was my klein skaduwee, oral by my. Soos enige bokhondjie is, is sy maar bietjie nukkerig, maar baie liefdevol. Selfs die katte mis haar. My hart is leeg." Enigiemand met inligting oor Tinkie kan Jovan Lemmer by 081 319 4080 bel.

Finaliste vir liedjie-kompetisie bekend DESIRÉE RORKE
D
DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA
ie FAK-Skryf’it-liedjieskryfkompetisie nader sy hoogtepunt met die top-tien-finaliste wat onlangs aangewys is, en twee van hulle woon in Kaapstad. Armand de Vries, wat tans in Kraaifontein woon en by die Hoërskool Monumentpark in Kraaifontein skoolgegaan het, is een van dié finaliste, met sy liedjie "Verlore", 'n oorspronklike verwerking. Vir Armand is die FAK-Skryf'itkompetisie 'n ongelooflike platform wat aan skrywers 'n geleentheid bied. "Almal wat betrokke is, is fantasties. Dit is 'n groot voorreg vir my, maar 'n nóg groter voorreg om ook ander te kan inspireer om liedjies te skryf," het hy gesê. Mense en klank fassineer en inspireer hom om te skryf, het hy bygevoeg. LIEDJIE IN DIE MOTOR GESKRYF Om die FAK-Skryf'it 2026-kompetisie te wen en sy liedjie oor die radio te hoor, sê Armand sal vir hom baie betekenisvol wees. "Ek het 'n gedeelte van my liedjie in die motor geskryf, so dit sal nogal snaaks wees om dit oor die radio te hoor terwyl ek bestuur. Om FAK-Skryf'it te wen, sal lewe gee aan my Afrikaansemusiek-loopbaan, en daaroor is ek baie opgewonde." Sy raad aan voornemende liedjieskrywers is eenvoudig en kragtig. "Hou aan skryf. Hou aan kanse waag. Wees braaf en sê wat jy voel." Twee voormalige Hoërskool Andrew Rabie-vriende uit Port Elizabeth is ook Wes-Kaap-finaliste, al woon hulle tans wêrelde uitmekaar. Dirk Crafford woon in Durbanville, terwyl sy musikale vennoot Ignus Kritziner hom in Chicago in die Verenigde
‘IN DIE DONKER’, ‘N KI MUSIKALE VERWERKING DEUR DIE DUO SKADULYN DING MEE OM TOP-5 POSISIE State van Amerika bevind. Saam vorm hulle die duo Skadulyn, wie se liedjie, "In die Donker", 'n KI musikale verwerking, om 'n top-5 posisie meeding. Vir die duo is die kompetisie 'n geleentheid om skouers te skuur met van die bekendstes in die musiekbedryf. "Dit is ook 'n groot eer om ons musiek met soveel mense te kan deel," het hulle gesê. Hul inspirasie kom uit menswees en ervaring, en die behoefte om dit in mooi woorde en melodieë vas te vang. Kunstenaars soos Koos du Plessis en Leonard Cohen inspireer hulle ook. Om die FAK-Skryf'it 2026-kompetisie te wen en hul liedjie oor die radio te hoor, sal vir die twee 'n besondere mylpaal wees. "Dit sal 'n absolute viering wees van 'n lang vriendskap, ons passievolle luisteraars, familie en vriende wat ons moed ingepraat en ons geïnspireer het," het hulle gesê. Hul boodskap aan voornemende liedjieskrywers is eenvoudig: "Maak musiek wat jy geniet, op enige manier wat jou gelukkig maak. Vang die oomblikke vas en deel dit." KULTUUR-VIERING Dit was 'n verbete stryd oor die afgelope vyf stemrondes toe die publiek vir hul gunstelingliedjies uit die vier gekose liedjies van elk van die kompetisie se vyf ghoeroes of mentors gestem het. Die vyf ghoeroes is die bekende
Afrikaanse musiekpersoonlikhede Andriëtte Norman, William Wolf, Danie Reënwolf du Toit van Spoegwolf, JohnHenry Opperman van Klopjag-faam en Ampie. Die beste oorspronklike liedjie en beste KI-gesteunde liedjie vir elke ghoeroe is aangewys. Hierdie tien liedjies ding nou om die gesogte FAK-Skryf’it-titel mee, met die publiek wat ’n deurslaggewende rol speel om te bepaal watter vyf liedjies na die eindronde deurdring en watter lied uiteindelik as die wenner aangewys word. Die FAK Skryf'it-liedjieskryfkompetisie het in die eeufeesjaar van Afrikaans as amptelike landstaal begin, met die oortuiging dat die volgende groot Afrikaanse treffers êrens wag om ontdek te word; liedjies wat sal leef in die harte van mense, gesing word op feeste, by troues, in kerke en in huise. Ná 'n suksesvolle eerste jaar het die FAK besluit om die kompetisie weer vanjaar aan te bied. Die kompetisie staan as 'n monument van kreatiwiteit, kultuur en taal, meen die FAK, en meer as 'n kompetisie, maar 'n beweging wat die rykdom, emosie en krag van die moedertaal vier. "Die droom is om 'n nuwe Afrikaanse treffer te ontdek wat harte aanraak, geslagte verbind en vir die volgende 100 jaar weerklank gee in die hart van Afrikaanssprekendes," sê die FAK. "Die visie is om 'n toekoms uit te kerf waarin nuwe stemme in die Afrikaanse musiekwêreld opstaan, jong, vars liriekskrywers en melodiebouers wat Afrikaans met vuur en waarheid laat sing. Liedjies wat herinner, hoop en genees." Stem van 28 Augustus tot 3 September op die FAK Skryf'it webwerf vir jou gunstelingfinalis om 'n plek in die top-vyf te verseker.
Dirk Crafford en Ignus Kritzinger vorm saam Skadulyn.

THINKING OUT LOUD
SLICE OF LIFE
A new season can be the perfect time for a personal reset Today, Spring day, is the start of days become longer as we enter the final stretch of the year. For many of us, it is a reminder that another year is moving in quickly and that perhaps some of the things we promised ourselves in January have not happened. But perhaps September is a better time to take stock than January ever was. We often treat the beginning of a new year as our only opportunity to change. We make resolutions, set goals and convince ourselves that we will become different versions of ourselves from 1 January. Yet life does not wait for January. Life changes in the middle of the year, in the middle of a career and sometimes in the middle of plans we were certain would work out. A job disappears. An application is rejected. A relationship ends. Money becomes tight. A business fails. A qualification takes us somewhere we did not expect to go. We discover that the career we worked so hard to build no longer makes us happy. Sometimes the uncertainty is external. Sometimes it is internal. You simply wake up one day and realise that the person you have become is no longer comfortable with the life you are living. That is where reinvention comes in. Reinventing yourself does not necessarily mean throwing your entire life away and starting from scratch. Sometimes it means repositioning yourself. It means asking: Where am I now? Where do I want to go? What do I need to change to get there? The qualification that once seemed like the key
.. ..
LIFE DOES NOT WAIT FOR JANUARY to a particular career may no longer be enough. But experience matters. So does adaptability. Perhaps you do not need to start over. Perhaps you need to present yourself differently. Update your CV. Learn the skill you have been putting off. Build a portfolio. Apply for the position you keep telling yourself you are not qualified for. Speak to someone working in the field you want to enter. Take the course. Start the side project. Position yourself for the opportunity before it arrives. Too often, we wait until we are forced or desperately need change before preparing for it. There is also something else that holds many of us back: age. We have created timelines for our lives as though everyone receives the same instruction manual. By 25, you should know what you want. By 30, you should have a successful career. By 35, you should own a home. By 40, you should have everything figured out. But I've lived long enough to see life does not work that way. Some people find their calling at 22. Others at 42. Some build successful careers and later realise they want something completely different. Others have to start again because circumstances leave them with no choice. There is no expiry date on ambition. We should also be honest about what reinvention can do. It cannot protect us from uncertainty. You can make sensible plans and still lose your job. You can work hard and still be overlooked. You can prepare carefully and still have life disrupt your plans. Reinvention is not pretending that these things do not hurt. It is refusing to believe that a setback has to become your identity. Perhaps that is what makes a new season such a useful metaphor. Spring does not ask whether winter was successful. It simply arrives. We should give ourselves the same permission. If the career you chose no longer fits, you can reconsider it. If your goals have changed, you can change them. If the version of yourself you created years ago no longer reflects who you are, you can let it go. You do not need to have the next five years figured out. You need to know what you are willing to do next. So perhaps the question is not whether you have achieved everything you wanted this year. Perhaps it is: Are you positioning yourself for the life you want next? There are still months left in the year. More importantly, there is still time. Life will continue to change whether we are ready for it or not. We may not be able to control what comes next, but we can decide whether we remain stuck in what no longer serves us. Sometimes reinvention is not about becoming someone new. It is about becoming ready for who you are still capable of becoming. And there is no better time to begin than now. — NAMHLA MONAKALI

BRIEWE | LETTERS
When did our roads become a battleground? There is something deeply troubling about the way some motorists treat pedestrians and cyclists, as though owning a vehicle automatically gives them ownership of the road. I was reminded of this recently while jogging. At an intersection, I proceeded without seeing an approaching vehicle. Suddenly, a motorist came speeding towards me. By the time I was in the middle of the intersection, the driver’s irritation was unmistakable. For a moment, it felt as though my presence on the road was an inconvenience that did not deserve consideration. I was fortunate. Someone else may not be. We need to talk about our road culture. Our municipal spaces are increasingly designed for shared use. Roads are not private property belonging to motorists. They are public spaces used by pedestri-
ans, cyclists, runners, public transport users and motorists. Yet some drivers behave as though pedestrians are trespassers who must immediately surrender every inch of asphalt. That attitude is dangerous. A motor vehicle can kill in seconds. A pedestrian has little more than their body between themselves and that machine. With such an imbalance, drivers should exercise more caution, not more impatience. Yes, pedestrians and cyclists have responsibilities. We must remain alert, obey the rules and exercise good judgement. But road safety cannot become a competition to establish who is “more entitled” to be there. A few seconds saved are never worth a life lost. To motorists, my message is simple: slow down. Look again. Give pedestrians space. Approach intersec-
tions with caution. And, above all, remember that the person in your path is a human being, not an obstacle delaying your journey. We cannot continue building a road culture based on intimidation, impatience and the dangerous assumption that the strongest road user has the greatest right. That is not road safety. It is survival of the fittest. Surely, in a society that claims to value human life, we can demand better. The next time you become irritated because a pedestrian is crossing, a cyclist is ahead of you or a runner is sharing the road, take your foot off the accelerator and take a breath. You may lose a few seconds. But you could save a life. FEZEKILE COTANI, Kuils River
response is A practical solution for Cape Static disingenuous Town’s homelessness crisis I read with great interest Kaylynne Bantom’s article, “People on the streets are also human”, published on 26 August. I agree wholeheartedly, but I believe we must take the conversation further. Having spent most of my working life in education, I have seen thousands of people develop the knowledge and skills necessary to earn a living and support their families. We did not judge them by background, ability or circumstance. We saw human beings with potential. So why can we not apply the same principle to homelessness? I propose that the City consider a comprehensive homelessness recovery and skills programme. People living on the streets should be offered safe accommodation and a genuine pathway back into society. The process could be straightforward. Treat every person with respect and compassion, while assessing their individual circumstances, abilities and needs. Provide safe accommodation, three nutritious meals a day, clothing, healthcare and appropriate assistance with addiction, mental-health or other challenges. Understand each person’s story and identify their existing abilities and potential. Provide practical, employment-focused training like construction, plumbing, electrical work, welding, carpentry, gardening, hospitality, recycling, cleaning, road maintenance and digital skills, for example. Then create opportunities for supervised, meaningful employment, followed by transitional accommodation and ultimately independent living. The City should partner with businesses, industry,
NGOs and vocational and higher-education institutions. Training should not simply produce certificates. It should produce employable people. Recent public debate, including views expressed during the Parliamentary Commission of Enquiry, in particular Lt Gen Nhlanhla Mkwanazi, has raised important questions about unemployment, government procurement and the potential for unemployed people to contribute to public infrastructure projects. Dr Pieter Groenewald has similarly argued for prisoners to acquire skills and contribute productively to society. People need more than food and shelter. They need purpose, responsibility, skills and the opportunity to earn. However, we must also be honest about the rights of the wider community. Is it reasonable for taxpayers to accept people living indefinitely under bridges while fires damage infrastructure, public spaces become makeshift toilets and the environment suffers? Neither is simply removing people without providing a viable alternative. Relocation without rehabilitation merely moves the problem. We already spend significant public resources managing the consequences of homelessness. Why not invest more strategically in addressing its causes? Success should not be measured by how many people disappear from our streets, but by how many are housed, trained, employed and ultimately able to live independently. Let us show South Africa that it can be done. BEN GROENEWALD, Plattekloof
Reading the response in last week’s edition from JP Smith about taxi monitoring is disingenuous. He mentions that traffic officials cannot remain static. This is an absolute lie, because they are deploying traffic officials to remain static with speed cameras in residential areas that I’ve never seen them in before. An example is the mobile camera in Uitzicht at the bottom of a downhill last week. They are looking for easy targets and income instead of taking on the difficult task of confronting taxi drivers. ANONYMOUS, Uitzicht
Dankie aan raadslid Wouter de Vos Hiermee wil ek graag my dank en waardering teenoor ons raadslid, Wouter de Vos, uitspreek. Hy het my op p 28 Julie tussen 17:00 en 18:00 te hulp gesnel. Ek was hewig ontsteld omdat my stemlokaal hopeloos te ver van my gewone stemlokaal verskuif is. As 'n Silwer Senior het ek my raadslid per WhatsApp genader omtrent my dilemma. Mnr. Raadslid het op sy motorfiets in 'n japtrap die sakie kom regstel. Nou het ek gemoedsrus. Ons as gesin kon nie uitgepraat raak oor ons Wouter de Vos se mooi gesindheid nie. Ons is trots op jou, raadslid Wouter De Vos. ANITA KUNZIE, Kuilsriver

WEN DIE 56STE SAREL BURGER-SEWESREEKS VIR DIE DERDE KEER IN SOVEEL JAAR
Milnerton kraai koning RICHARD ROBERTS
D
RICHARD.ROBERTS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA
ie Hoërskool Milnerton het vanjaar met die louere weggestap by die jaarlikse Sarel Burger o.19-sewesreeks. Die rugbykompetisie is onlangs by die Kraaifontein-rugbyklub gehou. Die hoërskole wat daaraan deelgeneem het, sluit in Bellville, Monumentpark, Curro Durbanville, Edgemead, DF Akademie, De Kuilen, Scottsville, Tygerberg, Masibambane, Melkbosstrand, Bosmansdam, Durbanville, HTS Bellville, Montana, Elsiesrivier en Milnerton. Stokkies Truter, organiseerder, sê 16 skole het deelgeneem. Milnerton het die trofee vir die derde jaar in ‘n ry gewen deur Bellville in die eindstryd 27-5 te klop. Monumentpark is as die Plaat-wenners aangewys nadat hulle HTS Bellville geklop het. Melkbosstrand is die Skild-wenners ná hul oorwinning oor DF Akademie, terwyl Scotsville as die Bowl-wenners weggestap het ná hul oorwinning teen Masibambane. Truter sê vanjaar is die 56ste jaar dat die Sewes aangebied is wat wyle Sarel Burger, ‘n oud-joernalis en sportafrigter, begin het. Donné Lakay (bestuurder) sê om die Sewes vir ‘n derde maal in ‘n ry te wen, is ‘n ongelooflik spesiale mylpaal vir die Hoërskool Milnerton. “Dis is iets waarop ons ontsettend trots is, nie net as gevolg van die uitslae nie, maar wat dit verteenwoordig – toewyding, konsekwentheid, spanwerk en die trots van ons seuns wanneer hulle hul Milliestruie dra. “Vir my was dit ‘n baie trotse en emosionele oomblik. Om te sien hoe die seuns aanhou baklei tot die eindfluitjie, en dit dan saam te vier, was ongelooflik lonend. Daar is ‘n ware gevoel van oortuiging in die groep, en hulle het uitsonderlik hard gewerk om dit te bereik,” sê Lakay. Sy sê die seuns is absoluut opgewonde. “Hulle weet om een keer te wen, is ‘n mylpaal, maar om dit drie jaar in ‘n ry te wen, is iets baie spesiaal.” Lakay sê daar is ‘n geweldige gevoel van trots in die span, veral wetende dat hulle ‘n tradisie wat deur vorige spelers gevestig is, laat voortleef.
DIE TOERNOOI STAAN VIR EENHEID, SPANWERK EN TROTS VAN ALMAL WAT DAARAAN DEELGENEEM HET
Sy sê die oorwinning is ook vir die gr.12-seuns betekenisvol. “Dit was hul laaste geleentheid om die Hoërskool Milnerton by die Sarel Burger-sewes te verteenwoordig, en wat ‘n ongelooflike manier om hul skoolloopbaan te eindig – om dit met ‘n derde agtereenvolgende Sarel Burger-sewesbeker te verlaat.” Lakay sê die toernooi self dra enorme betekenis. “Op 56 jaar is die Sarel Burgersewesreeks diep in Kaapstad se rugbygeskiedenis gewortel. Met die hartseer heengaan van Oom Sarel vanjaar voel die oorwinning selfs meer bekenisvol. Sy passie en bydrae tot rugby laat ‘n nalatenskap en dis wonderlik om te sien hoe die jong spelers deur die spel aanhou om daardie nalatenskap te eer.” Lakay sê vir die hoërskool is die oorwinning meer as net die trofee. “Dit verteenwoordig Millies se gees, eenheid, veerkragtigheid, trots en die feit dat hulle nooit tou opgooi nie. Dit is iets wat ons hele skoolgemeenskap vier, van die spelers, afrigters tot die personeel, ouers, ondersteuners en die oud-spelers wat steeds ons seuns ondersteun.” Lakay sê drie jaar in ‘n ry is ‘n merkwaardige mylpaal en dat hulle trots is op hul o.19-seuns. Truter sê vanjaar se wedstryde is almal in ‘n goeie gees gespeel. “Die wedstryde was aanskoulike sewes-rugby en daar is ‘n paar pragdrieë gedruk. Die sonnige weer het bygedra tot ‘n fantastiese atmosfeer met ouers en ondersteuners van die seuns wat hulle van langs die kantlyn af aangemoedig het,” sê hy. Truter sê die terugvoer van die skole was baie positief. Hy het die borge – King Cars, OK Minimarket Brightonweg, Landry Ambulance Services en Offside Sport vir hul ondersteuning bedank. Die geleentheid is op Woensdag 26 Augustus gehou.
Spelers van die Hoërskool Milnerton vier hul sege.
