urious minds, big questions prompted two teenagers to explore the matter of melting glaciers. Cullen Fillies and Kieran Leander, two marine sciences learners at Protea Heights Academy in Brackenfell, share a passion for researching marinerelated topics, a curiosity that has now carried them to top honours at the Eskom Expo Stellenbosch Regional Science

MARINE SCIENCE LEARNERS TAKE TWO TOP HONOURS AT REGIONAL SCIENCE FAIR Fair. Their model of how melting glaciers affect seawater earned them the prestigious Best Senior Project and Best Developing Project awards for Earth Sciences at the Eskom Expo Stellenbosch Regional Science Fair. Cullen and Kieran are both

Grade 11 Marine Sciences learners who enjoy conducting research on marine-related topics in their free time. Their passion for marine science inspired them to investigate the effects of melting ice on ocean salinity, water density and ocean stratification.

Their project investigated how continuous freshwater input from melting ice affects the mixing depth and salinity of stratified saltwater over time. The learners modelled the effects of melting glaciers and ice sheets by placing a coloured ice block into salt water and measuring how far the freshwater penetrated into the salt water, as well as changes in salinity at two-minute intervals.

Uber Eats driver dragged off bike DESIRÉE RORKE

DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CP.ZA

21-year-old Uber Eats driver was dragged off his bike and robbed by two unknown men while stopped at a traffic light in Brackenfell Industrial. The incident occurred on Saturday night, 19 September, on the corner of Okavango and Old Paarl roads, around 22:00. The driver was waiting at the red light when two men grabbed him off the bike and stole it. The robbery is the latest in a spate of attacks targeting delivery drivers. In early August, a delivery driver was kicked off his bike as he rounded a corner in Eerste River by three men who ran towards him. As he fell, he was robbed and shoved around by his assailants. In another incident during the last week of August, a delivery driver was run down and robbed by two men when he stopped in the street in Lotus River. In July, a Checkers delivery driver was robbed outside a home in Protea Heights in Brackenfell. Surveillance footage from the scene showed a car pulling up alongside the driver as he stopped in front of a residence. Suspects jumped out and forced him to his knees before fleeing, one

speeding off on the stolen motorbike, the rest in the getaway car. VULNERABLE AT NIGHT “Delivery drivers, especially those working at night, are extremely vulnerable,” says Norman Landry, chair of Brackenfell Community Police Forum. “They risk their lives to earn an honest living. Landry urged the public to be mindful of their safety and the drivers to be vigilant at all times. Brackenfell police has opened a common robbery case following the incident. “No injuries were reported to have been sustained, investigation continues and no arrest has been made yet,” says provincial police spokesperson Thembakazihonesty Mpendukana. TygerBurger contacted Uber Eats for comment on the prevalence of this crime, and what safety measures, if any, are in place for delivery drivers. Although Uber acknowledged the media inquiry and committed to provide a response, the newspaper had not received such response by the time of going to print.

Cape Garden shows the way as dry summer looms DESIRÉE RORKE DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA

A Joostenbergvlakte nursery has not used drinking water to irrigate its plants for a decade. and is being held up by the City as an example of how businesses and residents can cut water use. The City's water and sanitation directorate recently visited Cape Garden Centre to acknowledge its longstanding commitment to responsible water use and to learn more about the measures it has put in place. “With about 40 000 litres of water needed each day during peak summer, careful planning and responsible water management are essential to the nursery's daily operations,” says CEO and co-owner Peter van Niekerk. The garden centre draws non-drinking water directly from Theewaterskloof Dam via its Stellenbosch farm and has approximately 100 000 litres of water storage capacity on site. It closes main water supply points at night and reopens them in the morning to reduce potential losses from leaks or breakages after hours. The nursery does not use overhead irrigation. Watering is controlled through targeted systems, including pressurecontrolled irrigation and drip irrigation at their farm. Staff assess individual plants before watering to determine whether they require water, rather than simply following a fixed watering schedule. All plants at the retail stores are individually watered by hand, a measure that has helped reduce water use by approximately 50%. MINDFUL GARDENING Van Niekerk, who has spent 30 years in the industry, says many plants die as a result of overwatering rather than a

lack of water. He encourages residents to practise mindful gardening by understanding the water requirements of different plants and only watering when necessary. His tips for home gardeners include using a simple wooden dowel, stick or moisture meter to check soil moisture levels before watering, not watering plants when the soil is already wet, and choosing water-wise plants such as Spekboom. With about 1,5 million plants entering Cape Town each year through the nursery, the business also uses its position in the industry to educate customers about water-wise choices. This includes encouraging customers to consider the water requirements of different plants and alternatives to water-intensive lawns. Choosing suitable plants and creating well-established garden ecosystems can help reduce the need for intensive watering over time. “Water conservation is a responsibility that extends beyond the City and into our homes, businesses, gardens and everyday choices. “It is encouraging to see businesses such as Cape Garden Centre already taking practical steps to make water conservation part of their everyday operations. Their approach shows that saving water does not always require complicated solutions. It starts with understanding how water is being used and avoiding unnecessary wastage. “With lower dam levels and the months ahead expected to be more challenging, we encourage residents and businesses to take stock of their own water use and look for practical ways to make every drop count. “Whether it is checking before watering, fixing a leak or choosing a more waterwise plant, every action to reduce unnecessary water use helps us protect this precious resource.”

iva la musica! Ná ’n ryk loopbaan as onderwyser by die Hoërskool Brackenfell het Marlene Kruger afgetree met ’n groot droom om ’n senior koor in Kaapstad op die been te bring, geïnspireer deur die dinamiese koor wat jaarliks in Jeffreysbaai optree. Verlede Saterdagaand het dié droom by die NGK Stellenberg ’n werklikheid geword toe 80 senior burgers, gewerf van Rawsonville tot in Gansbaai, as die WesKaapse senior-burger-sangfees se eerste koor saamgesing het. Kruger, was op haar dag ’n wiskundeonderwyser. “Marlene het by die Jeffreysbaaise koorleiers kers opgesteek en ’n deurdagte pakket saamgestel met ’n program, bladmusiek, oefentye en aanwysings vir elke deelnemer. Lekker afwisselende items soos sangsolo’s en duette met klavier, kitaar en trekklavier is ingeoefen,” sê die koor se woordvoerder, René Ferreira. Kruger het hulle in groepe in Rawsonville, Gansbaai, Bellville,

Die sangleiers van dié groepe het haar op die aand van die optrede ook gehelp met begeleiding en dirigeer van die uitvoering. Hoogtepunte vir die gehoor was die optrede van die Volkspele-laer en Louis Hurter se boeremusiekorkes. Petro van den Heever was die aanbieder en het die program glad laat verloop. Sy het ook ’n gedig van Philip de Vos voorgedra, wat die gehoor laat skater het. Wat die program verder verhelder het, was die entoesiastiese deelname van die gehoor. Hulle moes plek-plek inval en saam met die koor sing. “Vir elke deelnemer aan die sang was dit vir seker nie net ’n hoogtepunt van die jaar nie, maar ’n groot ervaring om in ’n koor van meer as 80 lede liedjies te sing, wat van hul kinderdae tot vandag strek,” sê Ferreira.

A cupcake, a shoebox and a pre-loved dress can change lives

A cupcake can help a child fighting cancer, a shoebox packed with care can give a child Christmas joy, and a donated dress can help a matriculant feel like a princess on her big night. At CapeGate Shopping Centre, these three community initiatives give shoppers a practical way to make a difference.

The Durbanville Craft Market is celebrating local senior citizens with a complimentary Golden Years Day on Saturday 3 October, marking the first such event in nine years. Pensioners are invited to enjoy free tea and scones in the tranquil gardens at 5 Louw Street (corner of Louw and Hafele) behind the police station, next to the fire station, from 10:00 to 12:00 — weather and wind permitting. The event is co-hosted by the Durbanville Craft Market and Durbanville Senior Hub. Entry is free for senior citizens, while family members accompanying them will pay R30 per person. Anni Theron, one of the market organisers, said the last Golden Years Day was held in 2017. “We are the oldest craft market in the northern suburbs, having proudly been part of the Durbanville community for the past 40 years,” Theron said. The market operates entirely as a charity event, with all stall fees donated to welfare organisations. Only strictly handmade crafts are permitted at the market. Market hours are from 09:00 to

Whether it is buying a cupcake, pledging a Santa Shoebox or donating a pre-loved dress, every contribution matters.” WAYS TO GIVE BACK Through Cupcakes for Kids with Cancer, which took place on Saturday, shoppers supported children and families affected by childhood cancer while enjoying a treat. “The initiative turns a simple cupcake into an opportunity to support children who are facing an incredibly difficult journey,” says McCarthy. As the festive season approaches, the centre is also encouraging its community to get behind the Santa Shoebox Project, which invites individuals and families to prepare a personalised shoebox filled with gifts and essentials for a child.

One box may feel like a small gesture, but when a community comes together, those individual gestures can reach thousands of children,” says McCarthy. Through its partnership with The Princess Project, CapeGate collects pre-loved evening dresses, formal shoes and accessories for matriculants who may otherwise be unable to afford the clothing needed for their matric farewell. The centre has been involved with the initiative since 2022, with previous campaigns seeing hundreds of dresses donated. Formal wear can be returned after a farewell and prepared for another young woman, allowing one act of generosity to create an ongoing ripple of impact. The CapeGate Princess Project received a Silver Award and special recognition at the SACSC Footprint Marketing Awards. “We often underestimate what a small gesture can mean to someone else,” says McCarthy.

Skok oor idome wat in die slag bly

lmarié Geldenhuys van Vredekloof het as taalliefhebber en afgetrede dosent onlangs met groot skok tot die ontdekking gekom dat idiome nie eintlik meer deel van ons matrikulante se sillabus is nie. “En dit in skrille kontras met die ouer garde, wat op hoërskool bladsye en bladsye Afrikaanse en Engelse idiome uit die kop moes leer,” vertel sy aan TygerBurger. “Ek toets deesdae doelbewus jongelinge se kennis van idiome. My mond val telkemale in verwondering en skok oop as ek vind dat die meeste nie eens eenvoudige idiome soos ‘van die os op die jas’ of ‘die koeël is deur die kerk’ ken nie. Dis vir my ’n steen des aanstoots en steek my dwars in die krop.” Maar daar is natuurlik uitsonderings op die reël, dikwels te danke aan ’n pa of ’n ma wat idiomatiese taalgebruik deel van hul woordeskat maak en dit daagliks met hul spruite deel. “Ek kan nie help om te wonder wie by die Departement van Basiese Onderwys het dit nodig geag en besluit dat dit nie meer deel van die sillabus moet wees nie. Watter skande en tragiese besluit was dit nie.” Met die vrees dat idiome mettertyd in die niet gaan verdwyn, het Geldenhuys ’n blad op Facebook gestig – Afrikaanse Idiome – waar lesers deur middel van ’n pretspeletjie hul kennis aangaande idiome kan toets. Sy het ook onlangs by ’n aftreeoord opgetree en hierdie speletjie op

FROM PAGE 1 “The project aimed to demonstrate how fresh water from melting ice can reduce salinity, weaken ocean stratification, and potentially influence thermohaline circulation and climate stability,” explains teacher Surita Pedro, the schools science fair coordinator. “Along with the rollercoaster of emotions, even given this was my second Eskom Expo, my partner and I had incredibly insightful conversations with professionals, judges, and my fellow peers, which I believe will aid in building the foundation for our future, because the future is always built on the present,” says Cullen, while Kieran rated the experience as 10/10, saying, “It was a very enjoyable experience being there to explain what we had worked on, especially since it was my first time at Stellenbosch and my first time participating in an Expo. There was a unique and exciting atmosphere, and I would definitely love to go again.” PHA principle Andrea Coetzer says the school is exceptionally proud of their achievements. “Our learners competed against some of the region’s best young scientists and once again proved that curiosity, careful research and perseverance lead to exceptional results. Protea Heights Academy received four Gold, two Silver and five Bronze medals, while one group of learners was awarded a Highly Commended accolade. We are especially proud of Cullen and Kieran. You have done our school proud, and we look forward to seeing many of you continue to excel at the next level of the competition.” she said. “These results reflect the many hours our learners invested in their projects, the guidance of dedicated educators, and the encouragement they receive from their families. Success at this level is never achieved by chance.” FUTURE SCIENTISTS Hosted at Stellenbosch University’s Engineering Faculty in August, the science fair featured 206 projects, including group projects, presented by 276 learners in Grades 4 to 12 and technical and vocational education and training students. Participants advanced to the Regional Science Fair after taking part in a range

JONGMENSE KEN DIT GLAD NIE MEER NIE ’n prettige manier aangebied. “Natuurlik het die gehoor ywerig deelgeneem en hulle het die meeste van die idiome geken. Wat ’n vreugde was dit nie!” Idiome, sê sy, is die skatkis van ’n taal en ’n goeie barometer om te toets hoe goed iemand ’n taal ken. “Dis soos speserye wat kos geur en ekstra lekker laat smaak. Dis die karakter en wysheid van ’n taal wat deur geslagte aan ons oorgedra is. “Hou ook in gedagte dat baie idiome en uitdrukkings hul oorsprong in die Bybel het. Dink maar net aan ‘ ’n oog vir ’n oog’; ‘die skrif is aan die muur’ en ‘sout van die aarde’ om maar net drie te noem. Agter elke idioom lê ’n geskiedenis, volkswysheid en menslike ervaring. Dit verbind ons nie net met ons pragtige taal nie, maar ook met ons voorgeslagte. Wanneer idiome verdwyn, verloor ons nie slegs uitdrukkings nie – ons verloor ook ’n groot gedeelte van die rykdom en siel van Afrikaans. “Dit is taalskatte wat weer aan jong mense bekendgestel moet word. Kinders moet dit in hul kreatiewe skryfwerk asook in hul dag-tot-dag-kommunikasie met mekaar gebruik. ’n Taal sonder idiome is soos ’n tuin sonder blomme . . .”

Eskom Expo Stellenbosch Regional Science Fair director, Toinette Horn, said this year’s fair demonstrated what is possible when young scientific curiosity, innovative thinking and academic expertise come together. “From low-cost technology and renewable energy concepts to research exploring artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering and environmental sustainability, our young scientists showed that they are ready to tackle real-world challenges,” said Horn. “We should remember the names of these young scientists, because among them may be the innovators, engineers and researchers whose ideas will help shape South Africa’s future.”

Think tank explores bold gridlock plan URBAN MOBILITY DIRECTORATE LOOKS AT FLEXIBLE MODEL WHICH EXPLORES HYBRID WORKSPACES

DESIRÉE RORKE

DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA

he future of work is changing, and the way we work needs to change with it. In Cape Town where traffic congestion gridlocks are at the order of the day, a hybrid and flexibile working model is now being explored by the City of Cape Towns urban mobility directorate. A think tank forum shaped around workspace ideas was recently held at the directorate’s newly revamped offices designed around the modern principles of shared work stations, and technology enabled meeting rooms. The forum explored how flexible and hybrid working can create more productive and sustainable workplaces, while demonstrating how the urban mobility directorate is leading by example by applying the Citys Travel Demand Management (TDM) principles to the way they work themselves. TRAVEL DEMAND MANAGEMENT Travel Demand Management is the new buzz word in terms of curbing severe traffic congestion in the city. The strategy, recently developed and approved by the City, aims to shift commuter behaviour rather than building costly new roads. Among other things it promotes flexible and remote work and encourages walking, cycling, lift-clubs, and public transport options to reduce single occupant car dependency. Another core goal is to lower greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector to meet environmental targets. The gathering brought together internal and external stakeholders, large employers, industry professionals

and practitioners interested in TDM, sustainable mobility and flexible workplace trends. The forum also highlighted the role TDM can play in giving residents and businesses greater flexibility in how, when and whether they travel. Rob Quintas, the City’s Mayco member for urban mobility said: “The first goal of the TDM Strategy is to reduce unnecessary motorised travel and reduce private vehicle demand in the peak period through locked-in congestion relief. The second goal is to increase inter-departmental and inter-agency responsibility and accountability for improving spatial planning practices resulting in shorter trip distances. And the third goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the transport sector.” FLEXIBLE WORKING The City’s experience demonstrates the potential impact of flexible working. In 2018, its Flexible Working Programme (FWP) was introduced as a TDM pilot initiative to reduce peak-period congestion, supported by a change management framework. When Covid-19 hit, the City was better positioned to transition to remote working, with the FWP subsequently evolving into the “Future of Work” programme. “The associated travel reduction is significant. It is estimated that the current

A think tank forum shaped around workspace ideas was recently held at the directorate’s newly revamped offices designed around the modern principles of shared work stations, and technology enabled meeting rooms.

reduction in vehicle kilometres travelled is close to 40% for City offices located in the CBD. Flexible and remote work is thus a practical TDM measure that reduces peak-hour travel demand while improving productivity, sustainability and organisational resilience,” added Quintas. The forum also brought together a range of perspectives on the future of work and the City’s evolving workplace environment. Executive director for corporate services Ernest Sass delivered the corporate services address, while Niki Covary unpacked the City’s Travel Demand

Management Strategy. Kareema Fakee explored the next steps for Civic Masterplanning, while Lydon Kleinhans focused on the Future of Work and Karen Scholtz shared insights into the Western Cape Government’s Work Arrangements Policy. Woolworths’ Cornelius du Plessis shared perspectives on flexible working arrangements. The programme also included a showcase and walkabout led by Sasha Vaughan and Clayton van Neel, with the City’s Transport Planning and a closing address by Network Management Director Neil Slingers.

Dracula ballet on stage at Artscape

The Tramp

Cape Town City Ballet (CTCB) brings David Nixon’s acclaimed production Dracula back to the Artscape Theatre from 28 October to 1 November. The production, last staged to full houses, returns for a limited season of six performances. Leading principals Kirstél Paterson and Leusson Muniz head the cast, with full casting to be announced soon. Nixon, who received a CBE for services to dance, combines classical ballet with gothic storytelling in a work that pushes the genre into darker, more physical territory. The production is set to a stirring score with minimalist staging, evocative lighting, period costumes and striking set design. Evening performances take place from 28 to 31 October at 19:30, with matinees on Saturday 31 October at 14:00 and Sunday 1 November at 12:00. No under-13s. Tickets cost from R250 to R500 at Webtickets and Artscape Dial-A-Seat on 021 421 7695. Advance booking is recommended.

Artscape marks 55th . year with New Voices

rtscape’s annual New Voices Programme returns with six productions over four weeks at the Arena from 7 to 31 October, as the theatre continues to celebrate its 55th anniversary. The programme, in partnership with Suidoosterfees, is intended as a platform for new and emerging talent alongside seasoned professionals. Artscape CEO Marlene le Roux said the New Voices Programme had enjoyed many successes since its inception. 'DANGER IN THE DARK' The programme opens with the Northlink College production Danger in the Dark from 7 to 10 October. Directed by Sonwa Sakuba, the play is a reworking of the 1990s musical Poison by David Kramer and the late Taliep Petersen, originally produced by Renaye Kramer STUDENT DOUBLE-BILL From 14 to 17 October, a double-bill of two senior student productions takes the stage. Reaxenia, presented by UCT and written and directed by Tshiamo Maloka, is an allegory that uses the idea of a workshop as a space to ﬁx the country. Poppycock, presented by the University of Stellenbosch and written by Enzo Cocciante and Mateo Komlosy, is a sketch comedy exploring the lived experiences of Gen Z males in modern South Africa. Entry to the student productions is free. Reserve seats on Webtickets. THE CRACKED HOUSE The third week belongs to The Cracked House by Ntsikayomzi Benya, running from 21 to 24 October. Starring Mbulelo Grootboom, Azola Mkhabile and

Lusanda Soboyise, it follows siblings Langa, Xola and Andiswa as they reunite after 31 years for their mother's funeral. Directed by Sibuyiselo Dywili, the production is a reﬂection of South Africa's unstable political landscape and the human cost of separation, loss and survival. Tickets are R55 on Webtickets. CABARET DOUBLE-BILL The programme wraps up with a double-bill of two cabaret-styled productions from 28 to 31 October. The Tramp (Bite-Sized), presented by Wêla Kapela from the team behind the multi-award-winning Vincent, is a short taste of their newest musical about Charlie Chaplin, told through the eyes of his beloved alter ego. Written and directed by Amanda Bothma, it features Daniel Anderson and Paul Ferreira on piano. Flip-Flop, written and directed by Raﬁek Mammon, showcases two actors sharing the highs and lows of what happens behind the scenes, and just how hard they work for a mere call-back but no actual job. It features Gary Naidoo and Deon Lotz. Tickets for the double-bill, to see both shows backto-back, are R55 on Webtickets. The New Voices Programme is supported by Suidoosterfees, the City of Cape Town, NATi, the Jakes Gerwel Trust and the SBA.

‘SPOILED’ wins top award in Spain

documentary exposing the grip of offshore oil and gas giants on South Africa’s coastline has landed its biggest international accolade yet, taking home the Terres de l’Ebre Award at an overseas film festival. The South African short feature documentary won the award for Best Film Promoting Sustainability at the 10th edition of the Terres Travel Festival, a tourism and travel film festival with a focus on sustainability, held in Tortosa, Spain in September. SPOILED premiered in South Africa at a marine workshop in Cape Town in July 2025, unpacking preliminary findings from a Wildtrust-led project examining the environmental, social and economic risks of offshore oil and gas exploration and extraction in South Africa. Recognised as one of the festival’s two Great Awards, the accolade celebrates films that champion sustainability and inspire more responsible ways of engaging with the world. The award marks the biggest international recognition yet for the film, which profiles the coastal communities, fishers, scientists and activists standing up to the threat of offshore oil and gas exploration along South Africa’s coastline. The feature was selected from 157 entries submitted by the production teams from 29 countries, competing within a programme dedicated to films that champion sustainable tourism, conservation and responsible development. It was presented as one of three “perspectives on nature conservation” at a live screening event, part of the festival programme. The film takes viewers along the windswept coastline of the Northern Cape and the culturally rich Wild Coast of the Eastern Cape, revealing the simple and

urgent truth that around 90% of South Africa’s mainland ocean territory is threatened by oil and gas exploration. Through deeply personal interviews with local fishers, activists, youth and community leaders, the film uncovers the cracks in the system that allow international oil and gas giants to pursue drilling rights in South African waters – including flawed Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), a lack of meaningful public consultation, and the leasing of ocean space without community consent. It is, at its heart, a story of resilience and hope, and a tribute to and voice for the everyday heroes defending their livelihoods, their heritage and the ocean we all rely on. AMPLIFYING VOICES “We are deeply honoured to receive this award. This film amplifies the voices of coastal communities who are too often ignored or sidelined in governmentlevel decisions about their ocean. I feel incredibly privileged to produce films that help give marginalised communities and nature itself a voice and a meaningful say in decisions that affect their ocean, their livelihoods and, ultimately, our collective future,” said Lauren van Nijkerk, campaigns and communications director at Wildtrust. The film was produced by Wildtrust and Love Africa Marketing, in collaboration with The Green Connection, and has already built significant momentum since its release, with more than two million views across social media, screened to 20 fisher communities reaching over 750 people across three provinces, and a Silver Award at the International Tourism Film Festival Africa this year. The Terres de l’Ebre Award adds a major international

accolade to that growing list. “Thank you for shining a light on this important South African story for our ocean. Through the power of storytelling and film, we hope to build greater public awareness, deepen understanding, and inspire people to value and support our natural heritage. A heartfelt thank you to our crew and partners for their incredible commitment and effort in bringing this story to the screen,” said Nicola Gerrard, film co-director and founder of Love Africa Marketing. “The film comes at a critical time for South Africa,” added Green Connection spokesperson, Neville van Rooy. “The Africa Energy Corporation owned

This also presents an opportunity for communities and potentially impacted stakeholders to speak up for their oceans. The hope is that this international honour will draw fresh global attention to the risks facing South Africa’s oceans, and to the communities most likely to be affected.” Information on how to have your voice heard is on the ﬁlm’s website, stopthespoil.co.za.

THINKING OUT LOUD

A woman’s safety is purchased with her freedom

Kommentaar // Comments LEWENSKIEKIE

Die vreugdes van ’n ‘Karen’ langsaan

Elizabeth “Tsontso” Moselakgomo went for a run after work and did not come back. Her eight-year-old daughter raised the alarm. Her body was found behind a hotel in Rhodesfield, Kempton Park. Since mid-July, nine women’s bodies have been found across Ekurhuleni — beside the R21, in the veld at Olifantsfontein, in a river at Clayville, on roadsides in KwaThema and Dawn Park. Only four have been identified. Police say four were sexually assaulted. Notice the grammar of police reports: the women “were found”. The passive voice hides someone. These women did not simply come to lie there, partially clothed. Someone left them. A body beside a highway speaks to every woman: this is not your space. Police have urged women around Kempton Park not to walk or run alone, to avoid secluded spaces and exercise in groups. Any woman would be wise to heed this. But our safety is bought with our freedom, and a curfew is drawn around women’s bodies while whoever threatens them moves freely. The HSRC’s National GBV Study of 2022 found that more than 35% of women over 18 have experienced physical or sexual violence, mostly at the hands of intimate partners. We are told to leave the street for the room. The room has never been safe.

Ons almal het seker ’n “Karen” in ons lewe nodig – iemand wat dinge interessant hou en jou herinner dat voorstedelike vrede soms net een WhatsAppboodskap van ’n diplomatieke krisis verwyder is. Snoei jy die takke van haar bome wat oor jou muur hang? Probleem. Werk jy op ’n Saterdag rustig in jou groentetuin? Te veel geraas. Hou jy hoenders op jou erf? Skielik is hulle verantwoordelik vir elke rot wat moontlik al ooit in Durbanville was. Intussen is haar eie papegaai natuurlik ’n gerespekteerde lid van die gemeenskap. Dan is daar die passief-aggressiewe boodskappe op die buurt se WhatsApp-groep. Geen name word genoem nie, maar jy lees dit en dink: “Jip, daardie een is vir my.” Die ironie maak dit besonders. Terwyl jou eiendom onder die vergrootglas is, word kamers verhuur, ekstra motors kom en gaan en die gepaardgaande geraas en verkeer is bloot deel van die normale voorstedelike simfonie. Dinge soos grensmure, bouwerk en swembadveiligheid word ook skielik minder interessant wanneer die skoen aan die ander voet is. Maar dalk het ons ons Karens nodig. Hulle gee kleur aan die buurt en stories om om die braaivleisvuur te vertel. Ek wens ons kon minder deur WhatsApp-groepe kommunikeer en eerder sommer net oor die tuinmuur praat oor dinge wat krap. ’n Bietjie wedersydse respek, ’n gesprek en ’n sin vir humor kan dalk baie meer bereik. INWONER, Durbanville

BLAMING VICTIMS FOR BEING IN THE ‘WRONG’ PLACE TEACHES WOMEN TO SHRINK THEIR LIVES

In 1989, Gill Valentine mapped a geography of women’s fear, showing how blaming victims for being in the “wrong” place teaches women to shrink their lives. She called it “a spatial expression of patriarchy”. Judith Butler sharpens the stakes: Frames of War (2009) asks when a life is grievable; Notes Toward a Performative Theory of Assembly (2015) writes of a plural right to appear — bodies claiming the street, demanding a liveable life. But a right a woman may exercise only in company, only in daylight, on approved routes, is not a right, it is a permission. Section 12(1)(c) of the Constitution guarantees everyone the right to be free from all forms of violence “from either public or private sources”. The duty is the state’s, not ours to discharge by staying indoors. In November 2025, during South Africa’s G20 Presidency — in which I served as Co-Chair of Women20 — genderbased violence and femicide were declared a national disaster after the Women’s Shutdown and a petition of more than a million signatures. Ten months later, a declaration is only as good as the road it reaches. Drucilla Cornell, in The Imaginary Domain (1995), held that becoming a person requires bodily integrity and the protection of an imaginary domain — the space in which we imagine who we might become. Fear invades that space. Urgency requires safety as public infrastructure, not private discipline: lighting that works, open land maintained and watched, patrols. Ekurhuleni has promised more metro police visibility; that must become permanent, not fade with headlines. The Clayville death was linked to the investigation only after police revisited their cases. Residents are right to ask why they were not warned sooner. The Acting Minister of Police called the thought of someone leaving for a run and never returning “too unbearable to think about”. Until a woman can run after work and come home to her daughter, we have not answered the disaster we declared. We have only described it. — PROF NARNIA BOHLER-MULLER

Desalination article gives incomplete picture I think the article “Desalination plant facing 5-year delay”, published on page 2 of the TygerBurger on Wednesday, 16 September, is somewhat light on the broader facts and may give an incomplete picture of the challenges facing the Western Cape's long-term water security. What is certainly true is that the Western Cape faces signiﬁcant long-term water-security challenges. These are not simply a question of annual rainfall, but also of rapid population growth and migration, economic development, increasing water demand and the need to build resilience against drought and changing climatic conditions. Based on comments made by the Mayor of Cape Town on KFM 94.5, it appears that the desalination project initially associated with Paarden Eiland has been placed on the backburner. If this is indeed the case, the reasons deserve much more public discussion. I believe the original Paarden Eiland proposal should be reconsidered as part of a broader, integrated engineering and infrastructure assessment. The City's own feasibility study identiﬁed advantages for Paarden Eiland, particularly regarding integration with the existing potable-water system and land acquisition, but also found that the constrained site could accommodate approximately 70 ML/day. The City has also investigated Witzands at a substantially larger capacity. This demonstrates that there is no single obvious answer and that site selection requires careful

comparison of technical, environmental, ﬁnancial and infrastructure considerations. The recent approval of major data-centre developments at the former King David Golf Club site also raises legitimate questions about the City's long-term infrastructure priorities. However, unless a direct causal link can be demonstrated, it would be inappropriate to claim that the data-centre development caused the desalination delay. The broader question of how scarce electricity, water and infrastructure capacity should be prioritised nevertheless deserves public discussion. A broader engineering assessment is required. Selecting a large-scale desalination facility along the Western Cape coastline requires considerably more than simply identifying a site close to the sea. The major criteria should include oceanographic and seawater-quality conditions; energy availability and grid integration; bulk-water distribution and network integration; topography and geotechnical suitability and environmental, socio-economic and stakeholder considerations. Research shows that different coastal regions present different advantages and disadvantages. The point is not that one location has already been proven to be the answer. The Western Cape should undertake a properly integrated site-selection process before committing billions of rand to infrastructure that may operate for decades. BEN GROENEWALD, Plattekloof

I am writing on behalf of concerned residents of Oakdale who feel that our community is being neglected and is deteriorating before our eyes. We are law-abiding residents. We work hard, raise our families, send our children to school, attend our churches and contribute to our community. Yet many of us are increasingly feeling that the neighbourhood we call home is no longer safe or suitable for our families. One of our greatest concerns is the growing presence of prostitution in our streets and surrounding areas. Residents report seeing women openly soliciting and, in some instances, being exposed in public spaces in ways that are completely inappropriate for children to witness. Oakdale is a community where there are homes, schools and churches. Our children should be able to walk through their neighbourhood without being exposed to adult activities taking place openly on our streets. We are not asking for people to be treated without dignity or respect. We are asking for the law to be enforced fairly and consistently and for the concerns of residents to be taken seriously. How did our community reach this point? Why are law-abiding residents being left feeling that they have to simply accept what is happening around them? Where are the authorities who are supposed to protect our neighbourhoods and listen to the people who live here? We are asking the City of Cape Town, the police and our local representatives to engage with Oakdale residents, investigate our concerns and work with the community on practical solutions. We want our streets back. We want our children to feel safe. We want our homes and churches to remain places of peace. Most importantly, we want to feel that our voices matter. Oakdale is our home. We have worked hard to build our lives here, and we should not have to give up on our community. When will somebody hear our plea? When will somebody come and help us? A CONCERNED RESIDENT, Oakdale

RUGBY: GOLD CUP COMPETITION

Mixed results for locals AVRIL FILLIES he results of the first round of the three teams representing WP Rugby Union in the Gold Cup Competition on Saturday 26 September were a mixed bag. Villager from Brookside, Durbell from Durbanville and Schotsche Kloof-Walmers (SKW) are flying the flag for the city and were competing in the Southern Bracket in SA Rugby’s community club competition. SKW had to play second fiddle against the defending champions Naka Bulls in Pretoria when they went down 43-36, while Villager beat Young Leopards form East London 66-18 at Brookside and Durbell had to travel to East London for their victory of 38-24 over East London Police. SKW was the wild card in the competition and was selected on their performances during the Super League A competition of WP, while Villager and Durbell finished first and second respectively on the log. Villager is looking for their third trophy after winning Super League A as well as the Presidents Cup when they won the Top 8. The Gold Cup is seen as unfinished business and Villager wants to make amends for last year’s loss in the final against Naka Bulls. Naka Bulls is the number one club in the country with three consecutive wins and all the teams in the Gold Cup will have their work cut out if they want to topple the defending champions. SKW finished in the top five of WP’s domestic competition and earned the wildcard. This was their second encounter

VILLAGER, DURBELL, SCHOTSCHE KLOOF-WALMERS FLYING THE FLAG against Naka Bulls after competing against them in the Saldanha Top 8 Easter Tournament in the West Coast and the match was seen as a revenge match after they lost 28-24 in April. It was just a case of what the margin of the result is going to be and if it will again be less than 10. Like the encounter in April the rematch did not disappoint as both teams scored freely but the experience of Naka Bulls pulled them through for the win. This time the score difference was seven, again less than 10. Durbell went to battle against the second team from the Eastern Cape, East London Police, Young Leopards travelled to Cape Town for their encounter against Villager. EL Police won the Super 14 competition of the Border Super League and wants to be the team who will have the bragging rights in East London with their progress in the Gold Cup competition. The competition is divided into two sections, Southern Bracket consisting of teams from WP, SWD, Boland, Free State, KZN, EP, Griquas and Border. The Northern Bracket include teams from the Bulls, Valke, Limpopo, Leopards, Pumas, Lions and Griffons. Other teams in the Southern Bracket are: College Rovers, Kimberley, Bloemfontein Collegians, Gardens, Saldanha, Evergreens, Groot Brakrivier, Roses United, Bloemfontein Police, Harlequins, Sishen and Crusaders.
