PUBLIC URGED NOT TO EAT WASHED UP DEAD FISH NOR TO FEED THEM TO PETS

Scores of ﬁsh wash ashore

Dead sardines line the shore at Lagoon Beach following the latest mass ﬁsh mortality event.

he discovery of hundreds of dead sardines washing up along beaches in the Melkbosstrand and Milnerton areas have taken a new turn, with laboratory tests confirming the presence of pilchard herpesvirus (PHV) in affected fish.

The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) confirmed that laboratory sequencing detected PHV genetic material in sampled sardines collected along the West Coast. However, the department stressed that scientists have not yet established whether the virus itself is responsible for the mass mortality.

LAB TESTS FIND PILCHARD HERPES IN SAMPLES FROM DEAD SHOALS The latest findings come after fresh reports of dead sardines washing ashore at Milnerton, Sunset Beach, Lagoon Beach and Melkbosstrand. TygerBurger visited several of

the affected beaches last week and saw scores of dead fish washed up along the shoreline. Dead sardines were also reported at Milnerton Lagoon on Friday 14 August.

VIRUS FOUND IN HEALTHY AND DEAD FISH According to DFFE, PHV was detected in both dead sardines and, at lower levels, in some apparently healthy fish collected from the West Coast. The finding suggests the presence of the virus alone may not be enough to explain the scale of the deaths. TO PAGE 2

WC economy stays resilient DESIRÉE RORKE

DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA

he Western Cape’s unemployment rate has dipped to 19,5% in the second quarter of 2026, down from 19,6% the previous quarter, keeping the province below the 20% mark for over a year. The latest Quarterly Labour Force Survey figures, welcomed by the Western Cape Government, remain well below the national rate and point to steady economic performance despite tough global and national conditions. However, decreases in employment were recorded in Western Cape (48 000), Gauteng (22 000) and North West (15 000), while Mpumalanga (41 000), Eastern Cape (13 000) and Free State (9 000) were provinces that observed the highest increases in employment. It is important to note that decrease in employment means fewer people have active jobs, while a decrease in unemployment means fewer people who want work are without a job. These two metrics track different groups in the Statistics South Africa labor force data and can move independently due to shifts in population and job seeking. Seven out of ten sectors in the province recorded year-on-year gains in employment, driven by the finance (+41 000), trade (+41 000) and agriculture (+26 000) sectors. The provincial labour absorption rate, the share of the working age population that is employment, also grew 1,1 percentage points year-onyear reaching 55,7% compared to 39,6% nationally. The latest QLFS figures also confirm that over the past 10 years, the province’s unemployment rate has consistently remained below the national average.

FROM PAGE 1 Scientists are now investigating whether environmental stressors, including harmful algae, low oxygen levels or unusual oceanographic conditions, may have triggered or intensified the mortality event. Tests for paralytic toxins associated with a harmful algal bloom found none in samples collected from Saldanha Bay, the Cape Canyon and Gansbaai. Domoic acid and yessotoxin were detected at low levels, but the highest concentrations were found in an apparently healthy comparison sample from St Helena Bay. DFFE said the findings suggest the toxins tested were unlikely to have been the primary cause of the sardine deaths, although environmental factors cannot yet be ruled out. BEACHGOERS SHOCKED BY SCALE OF FISH DEATHS James Tanner, who visited Melkbosstrand Beach, said: “I've never seen so many dead fish wash ashore. It was alarming. I told my kids not to touch the fish.” The scale of the deaths has also affected local environmental groups. Zoe Prinsloo of Save a Fishie described the discovery at Lagoon Beach as “incredibly heartbreaking”, saying hundreds of dead fish had washed up along the shoreline during the organisation's birthday beach cleanup. She said the sight was a reminder of how “precious, vulnerable and fragile” marine life is and reinforced the importance of protecting the ocean. Investigation into cause continues DFFE has convened an urgent briefing with small pelagic fishing industry stakeholders, with a task team comprising the department, fishing industry and other relevant stakeholders expected to formulate a coordinated response to the PHV-associated mortality. Disease surveillance is also being expanded along South Africa's West,

PROVINCIAL UNEMPLOYEMENT RATE REMAINS BELOW 20% MARK FOR ANOTHER YEAR

“Every decrease in the unemployment rate is encouraging. It shows that we continue to foster a resilient job creation ecosystem that works for our residents,” Winde stated. “Despite intense head winds, we are still making progress. The Western Cape and its residents have faced an incredibly difficult three months, marked by several weather events that wreaked havoc on infrastructure and the agricultural sector, in particular, which is a major economic driver in the province. “We know we must and can do more to grow our economy. We will push even harder to bring more investment to our province that creates many more jobs.” NATIONAL OUTLOOK Countrywide the official unemployment rate was 33,6% in the second quarter of this year. According to the latest results, there was an increase of 345 000 in the number of unemployed persons to 8,5 million, while there was a decrease of 16 000 in the number of employed persons to 16,7 million compared with the first quarter. This resulted in an increase of 329 000 (or 1,3%) in the labour force during the same period. The above changes in employment and unemployment resulted in the official unemployment rate (labour underutilisation) increasing by 0,9 of a percentage point from 32,7% in the first quarter of tis year to 33,6% in the second quarter.

South and East coasts while further disease, pathology and environmental investigations continue. The department's October/November hydroacoustic biomass survey will provide the first opportunity to assess the possible impact of the mortality event on the sardine population, according to a media release. PHV has not previously been reported in South African sardines. It was linked to two large-scale sardine mortality events in Australasia during the 1990s, but was later detected in apparently healthy Australian sardine populations. DFFE said there is currently no evidence that PHV infects humans or other animals. The finding also does not indicate that healthy commercially caught sardines or canned sardine products are unsafe, nor does it currently justify a general suspension of fishing or canning. The public has nevertheless been urged not to collect or consume dead or dying fish and not to feed them to pets. The department said further information would be provided as the investigation continues.

Beaches around Milnerton and surrounding areas have seen an inﬂux of dead sardines in recent days.

Boewe doen hulle as werkers voor RICHARD ROBERTS

RICHARD.ROBERTS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

nwoners van Monte Vista en omliggende gebiede in Kaapstad is onlangs weer daaraan herinner om waaksaam te wees en ten alle tye diensverskaffers se identiteit te verifieer, voordat hulle enigeen op hul perseel toelaat. Dié waarskuwing volg ná nog 'n voorval waarin 'n groep verdagtes hulself glo as munisipale werkers voorgedoen het om sodoende toegang tot 'n inwoner se huis te bekom. Niemand is in die voorval op Donderdag 6 Augustus beseer nie, lui 'n inskrywing op die plaaslike buurtwag se sosialemediablad, maar die traumatiese voorval gaan die gesin nog lank bybly, noem hulle. Die Monte Vista-Plattekloof Glenbuurtwag het inwoners aangemoedig om nie toe te laat dat mense hul huise of eiendom betree sonder dat hulle hul identiteit met die munisipaliteit bevestig het nie. Die Goodwood-polisie het ook die betrokke dag spoedig op die noodoproep gereageer. Kol. Shawn van Wyk, stasiebevelvoerder, het onlangs aan TygerBurger bevestig dat hulle sulke voorvalle ervaar het. Hy het 'n waarskuwing aan inwoners gerig om waaksaam te wees aangesien verdagtes voorgee dat hulle beamptes van die Stad Kaapstad is en dat hulle daar is om ‘n inspeksie uit te voer, maar dat hulle die inwoners van hul elektroniese besittings beroof sodra hulle toegang verkry. Van Wyk vra dat inwoners liefs die polisie moet kontak in so 'n geval. Hy sê in een van die voorvalle is 'n huiseienaar met 'n vuurwapen gedreig. Deon Oosthuizen, adjunk-voorsitter van die Monte Vista-Plattekloof Glen-buurtwag,

INWONERS GEMAAN OM DIENSVERSKAFFERS SE IDENTITEIT TE VERIFIEER NA TRAUMATIESE VOORVAL IN MONTE VISTA sê mense moet 'n gewoonte daarvan maak om inligting te verifieer voordat hulle iemand oor hul veiligheidsgrens toelaat, en dat mense nie net moet aanvaar dat iemand van die Stad Kaapstad is nie. VOLG HIERDIE STAPPE "Niemand moet op jou erf kom sonder dat jy 100% seker is wie hulle is nie. Dring aan op 'n bewys van identiteit en verwysingsnommer. Enige amptenaar of kontrakteur moet 'n amptelike fotokaart en 'n werkopdrag of verwysingsnommer hê," sê Oosthuizen. Hy sê huiseienaars moet ook nie die nommer skakel wat deur die besoeker op hul perseel aan hulle verskaf is nie. "Skakel eerder self die Stad. Gebruik die amptelike noodlyn by 021 480 7700 om te bevestig. "Die meeste sekerheidsmaatskappye sal 'n gewapendereaksie-beampte uitstuur om by jou hek te kom staan terwyl jy die feite nagaan en bevestig. Indien inwoners nog nie 'n alarm vir 'n gewapendereaksiemaatskappy het nie, is dit 'n goeie tyd om een te kry." Hy sê inwoners moet ook ander waarsku. "Maak seker jou familie, kinders en huishulpe weet van hierdie reël — dat niemand die hek vir 'n vreemdeling moet oopmaak nie, ongeag die storie of die uniform." Hy voeg by: "As iemand nie wil wag dat jy sy besonderhede verifieer nie,

Die Goodwood-polisie het inwoners van Monte Vista en omliggende gebiede versoek om diensverskaffers se identiteit te bevestig met hul maatskappye of die Stad Kaapstad nadat ‘n groep verdagtes hulself glo onlangs as munisipale werkers voorgedoen het, om sodoende toegang tot huise te kry.

is dit duidelik 'n rooi lig. Druk jou paniekknoppie en verwittig die buurtwag, polisie of die Stad se noodlyn dadelik." Wayne Dyason, woordvoerder van die Stad Kaapstad se wetstoepassingseenheid, sê sover is nog geen voorvalle by hulle aangemeld nie. "Ons wil tog inwoners waarsku om nie hul deure oop te maak vir mense wat voorgee dat hulle vir die Stad werk, sonder dat hul identiteit geverifieer is nie." Dyason sê die amptenaar se identiteitskaart wat deur die Stad uitgereik is, moet geverifieer word, sowel

SÊ JOU SÊ! ’N KONSEPSTRATEGIE VIR ERFENISHULPBRONBESTUUR VIR DIE STAD KAAPSTAD Die Stad Kaapstad (die Stad) stel ’n hersiene strategie vir erfenishulpbronbestuur voor om die bestuur en bewaring van erfenishulpbronne op munisipale vlak ingevolge die Wet op Nasionale Erfenishulpbronne, Wet 25 van 1999, te rig. Die konsepstrategie beoog om erfenisbestuur in die stad te versterk deur: • erfenisbestuur met munisipale beplanningsprosesse te integreer; • gepaste vlakke van beskerming vir bewaringswaardige erfenishulpbronne in te stel; • administratiewe ondoeltreffendheid en onnodige duplisering tussen erfenisgoedkeuringsprosesse te verminder; en • die rol van erfenis in ekonomiese groei, openbare voordeel en omgewingsvolhoubaarheid te ondersteun. Die konsepstrategie erken dat erfenis nie net oor die verlede gaan nie, maar ook oor hoe Kaapstad oor tyd groei, ontwikkel en sy unieke identiteit behou. Die konsepstrategie strook met tersaaklike nasionale en provinsiale wetgewing en ondersteun die Stad se algemener beplanning- en ontwikkelingsdoelwitte. Kennis geskied hiermee ingevolge artikel 17 van die Wet op Plaaslike Regering: Munisipale Stelsels, Wet 32 van 2000, dat die publiek en belangstellende partye of groepe geleentheid het om van 17 Augustus tot 17 September 2026 hulle kommentaar by die munisipaliteit in te dien. Kommentaar, bydraes en aanbevelings kan op enige van die volgende maniere ingedien word: • E-pos: Heritage@capetown.gov.za • Aanlyn: www.capetown.gov.za/haveyoursay of www.capetown.gov.za/collaborate • Skriftelike voorleggings: Subraadskantore en Stadsbiblioteke Skandeer die QR-kode om aan te sluit by die aanlyn inligtingsessie op Donderdag 27 Augustus 2026 om 18:30-20:30.

Residents warned of rise in burglaries The Bothasig Community Policing Forum (CPF) said this week burglaries were on the rise in Bothasig, Edgemead and surrounding areas. CPF chair Mario Borchards said recent incidents showed a concerning increase in this type of crime and he shared some valuable safety tips. VULNERABLE TIME “Criminals are targeting homes at vulnerable times, both during the day and at night. Gas cylinders are also increasingly being targeted, with several reports of cylinders being stolen from outside properties.” The CPF urged residents to be extra-alert and careful.

. . . .

TIPS Lock all doors and windows, even when you are at home; Ensure alarm systems and CCTV are installed and activated; Keep perimeter and outdoor lights on at night; Secure all access points – side gates, garages, and domestic entrances – and not just the main house; Avoid leaving valuables visible from outside; Secure gas cylinders, garden tools, bicycles and other outdoor items out of sight or locked in place, as these are increasingly being targeted; Verify the identity of anyone requesting entry, including meter readers, delivery personnel, and other visitors; Keep travel plans private, and ask someone trusted to

. .

house-sit; Watch for objects left on your gate or pavement; some burglars use these to mark a target; Remove anything suspicious; If a break-in occurs while you are home, do not confront the intruder. Move to a safe area and contact your armedresponse company or police immediately.

. .

BE PROACTIVE Borchards said residents need to be proactive about their security and should report suspicious activity immediately to the local police station on 021 559 9415 or 10111, or the City of Cape Town’s Law Enforcement at 021 480 7700. He said residents must work together with police, community-safety structures such as the CPF and neighbourhood watches as well as armed response companies. Visible, active communities deter crime, he said. ESSENTIAL PARTNERSHIP “Bothasig police and the CPF continue to work closely together in response to this trend, and we thank our police officers for their ongoing dedication and quick response to community reports. This partnership between residents, the CPF, neighbourhood watches, armed response companies and the police remains one of our greatest strengths in keeping Bothasig police precinct safe.”

Early signs to detect hearing loss

ith Deaf Awareness Month marked next month, parents or guardians of newborn babies are encouraged to have their little one’s hearing tested sooner, rather than later. Those who would like to ensure that their newborns are able to hear properly, can visit their healthcare provider, local clinic or the Carel du Toit Centre located on the grounds of the Tygerberg Hospital in Parow. Deaf Awareness Month is marked annually during September, and the centre says during this month it will be highlighting one of the most important health checks a baby can receive — a hearing screening. Hearing loss is often called an “invisible disability” because babies born with hearing loss usually look healthy and may not show obvious signs during the first months of life making early screening the only reliable way to identify hearing loss before it begins to affect speech and learning, the centre says. In South Africa, around 17 babies are born with hearing loss every day. Carel du Toit Centre wants to raise awareness that early identification is one of the most important steps in giving children access to communication — which is essential for brain development, they say. A newborn hearing screening is quick, safe and painless, the centre says, adding that it can be done almost immediately after baby is born and takes only a few minutes. If hearing loss is detected early, families can access specialist services and support during the critical months when babies’ brains are developing language, the centre says.

PARENTS ENCOURAGED TO GET THEIR NEWBORN’S HEARING TESTED SOONER, RATHER THAN LATER

SIGNS Parents and/or guardians should seek professional advice if: Babies between birth and three months fail to startle, blink or “jump” at sudden loud noises and does not calm down to a familiar voice; Babies between four and six months do not turn their head toward the direction of a new sound or a calling voice; Babies between seven and 12 months do not babble, respond to their own name or say simple words like “mama” or “dada” by their first birthday; Babies between a year and two years cannot follow a simple instruction (fetch the ball) or cannot put two words together (more juice). However, many babies with hearing loss display no obvious symptoms, which is why newborn hearing screening is so important. If you are concerned about your baby’s hearing health, contact your preferred healthcare provider or local clinic and arrange for your baby’s hearing to be screened, the centre advises. Research has consistently shown that children whose hearing loss is identified and supported early in life (before six months of age) achieve significantly better outcomes in communication than children diagnosed later.

. .

INTERVENTION When a baby is identified with hearing loss through newborn hearing screening, the next vital step is early intervention

One of the ways that audiologists are able to test and determine whether a baby is able to hear, or not.

and this is where the Carel du Toit Centre comes in, the centre explains. For decades, the centre has been transforming the lives of families and children with hearing loss and their families through specialised early intervention programmes that focus on developing listening and spoken language. By working closely with families, audiologists, speech-language therapists, teachers and healthcare professionals, the centre empowers children to reach their full potential, they say. With early identification, appropriate hearing technology and timely intervention, many children with hearing loss can develop listening and spoken language skills alongside their hearing peers. “Deaf Awareness Month reminds us

that awareness must lead to action. Every baby deserves the opportunity to have their hearing checked. Early identification gives families choices, provides access to appropriate support and opens the door to a lifetime of communication, learning and opportunity. says Sarah Lange, head of audiology. The centre is calling on healthcare providers, policymakers and parents to support universal newborn hearing screening across South Africa, ensuring that every child, regardless of where they are born, has access to early hearing detection and intervention. One simple hearing screening can make a lifetime of difference, the centre says.

Save a Fishie celebrates birthday KAILIN DANIELS

KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

ave a Fishie marked its eighth birthday with a beach clean-up at Lagoon Beach, where about 50 volunteers collected 211kg of litter while hundreds of dead fish lay washed up along the shoreline. The milestone clean-up on Saturday 15 August was a bittersweet occasion for the environmental organisation, which has spent the past eight years working to protect marine life and keep Cape Town’s beaches clean. BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION TURNS BITTERSWEET Founder Zoe Prinsloo said arriving at Lagoon Beach and seeing hundreds of dead fish along the shore was heartbreaking, but she chose to focus on the organisation’s anniversary and the volunteers who came out to support the clean-up. “It was an emotional start to our eighth birthday clean-up today, and for two very different reasons,” said Prinsloo. She said the team was proud to reflect on how far Save a Fishie had come, while the discovery of the dead fish was a stark reminder of the vulnerability of marine life. VOLUNTEERS COLLECT 211KG OF LITTER Around 50 volunteers spread out in both directions along the beach, collecting litter from the shoreline. Among the waste found were large numbers of lollipop sticks, earbud sticks and bottle tops, as well as shoes, pieces of wood, a tyre, at least 15 nappies and about five needles. In total, the volunteers removed 211kg of litter from the beach. Prinsloo said the clean-up continued despite the difficult sight of the dead fish

scattered among the rubbish. EIGHT YEARS OF PROTECTING THE OCEAN The birthday celebration also included a giant card where volunteers could leave messages for Save a Fishie. Prinsloo said the card would be kept at the organisation's office as a reminder of the people who have supported its journey. Volunteers received Save a Fishie birthday caps, flavoured water, cupcakes and metal straws as a thank-you for their efforts. Prinsloo expressed her gratitude to everyone who had supported the organisation over the past eight years, whether through clean-ups, campaigns, donations, sharing information or helping behind the scenes. “You are part of this story,” she said.

Save a Fishie volunteers collected 211kg of litter during the organisation’s eighth birthday cleanup at Lagoon Beach.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU Prinsloo also paid tribute to her mother for supporting her since the organisation's beginning. “Save a Fishie may have started as my little Fishie organisation, but you have been such a huge part of its journey and I honestly couldn’t have done these eight years without you,” she said. She also thanked Plastics SA for supporting the organisation for eight years by providing refuse bags for its clean-ups. Prinsloo said the organisation would continue working to protect marine life and the ocean. “Here’s to eight years of fighting for our Fishies and protecting our Volunteers work along Lagoon Beach as part of Save a Fishie’s eighth birthday cleanup. oceans,” she said.

A giant birthday card was ﬁlled with messages and wishes from volunteers celebrating Save a Fishie’s eighth birthday.

THINKING OUT LOUD

SLICE OF LIFE

Connected, yet alone The word "isolation" comes from the Latin word insula, meaning "island". Over time, the word evolved through Italian (isolato) and French (isolé), meaning "made into an island". The feeling and connotations of isolation, however, have also morphed as we have headed deeper into the 21st century. DIGITAL COCOON Now the thought of closing our doors and wearing our headphones is seen as a comfort or a necessity, where we can destress and fulfil our own personal needs after enduring a demanding working day. Since the quick but subtle decline of televisions and broadcasting as an "escape" from reality and a means to stay informed and entertained, users have been tricked into becoming addicted to seeing their desires or hobbies packaged directly to them in short clips through TikTok's, Instagram reels or YouTube shorts. Families started interacting less, while

NOW WE SECOND-GUESS AND DOUBT WHAT WE SEE AND HEAR MORE THAN EVER.

the children became more immersed in their tablets and YouTube channels, and angsty teenagers have to understand and sometimes compare their lives to the glamorous aesthetics and filters they see when watching the Instagram stories of their friends or celebrities they admire. Now we watch, comment and "like" friends and family from afar on social media when they have weddings, celebrate births, or grieve a loved one — like voyeurs, it seems. CELLPHONE SOURCES Our cellphones have become our main source of information and entertainment. Gone are the days when the family would huddle at six to watch the latest episode of 7de Laan. Now everyone can enjoy their own distractions and retreat to the peaceful quiet of their bedrooms. I think the Covid-19 pandemic marked the crucial breaking point and awakening for a new meaning of this word to be birthed. Stranded and locked away in our houses during the height of Covid-19, our need and the time we spent on our cellphones intensified. Whether this was video calls and texts with loved ones, sending emails and attending Teams meetings, or doom-scrolling on social media whilst being flooded with the latest news and death stats, we adapted to being "happily marooned on our own social islands". ALGORITHMS THAT FEEDS All the while, the algorithms have been tracking, studying and curating a feed dedicated to our tastes, interests, likes and dislikes — and yet most people aren't seeing that these tech wizards have woven a cocoon around the users and their cellphones. This trap, however, disguises itself. So many are also quick to defend their ideologies or mock those they disagree with online in such creative fashion with GIFs and images, and yet lack the courage to spew these thoughts in real life. With the popularity and convenience of artificial intelligence, it has also impacted the way we view images, listen to music or watch videos. Now we second-guess and doubt what we see and hear more than ever. It's a strange and interesting time to be alive in 2026, but now more than ever we need to enrich the way we communicate instead of resorting to numbing ourselves to death on our own devices. - KEANAN HARMSE

COMMEMORATION: Residents gathered at Het Posthuys Museum in Main Road, Muizenberg, on Saturday 8 August to witness a cannon firing marking the 1795 Battle of Muizenberg. The event was hosted by Muizenberg Heritage in partnership with the Gri Guriqau Xam Research Institute and the Cannon Association of South Africa. Heritage Western Cape formally gazetted the battle site as a Provincial Heritage Site on Friday 27 March this year, following a nomination by the City of Cape Town’s Environmental Management Department. The battle took place when a British naval fleet attacked Dutch forces on the slopes of the Muizenberg mountains. The Dutch eventually surrendered the Cape, allowing Britain to gain control of the important Indian trade route. Another cannon firing is planned for Heritage Day, Thursday 24 September.

Cost of uniforms feels like ﬁnancial exploitation I am writing this letter in the hope that it will highlight a pressing concern for single parents and lower-income families. We recently started shopping for school uniform items for our grandson, who enters Grade 1 next year. We were shocked by the prices, largely driven by the requirement to purchase plain items with compulsory school badges stitched or printed on them, including shirts, dresses, jerseys, tracksuits, and blazers. A Grade 1 learner typically wears a uniform for only 12 to 18 months before outgrowing it. Paying up to R400 for a jersey, R300 for a shirt, or R600 for a tracksuit top places an unfair ﬁnancial strain on families already struggling with the cost of living. While clothing banks exist, they do not address the core issue. Why are basic school clothes so heavily branded and expensive? Why are parents not allowed to buy plain, affordable white shirts or standard items from general retail

stores? We ask why the Western Cape and National Departments of Education allow what feels like blatant ﬁnancial exploitation of parents and guardians. Additionally, I would like to address the issue of school stationery and supplies. Are school stationery packages covered under fee exemptions or subsidies? If not, why are parents often pressured or required to purchase stationery directly through the school rather than sourcing cheaper alternatives independently. And why are parents expected to supply general administrative and sanitary items such as A4 paper reams and toilet paper for the school’s routine operations? Schools should operate as educational institutions, not proﬁt-driven enterprises. I hope these matters receive urgent attention from the relevant departments as families begin preparing for the upcoming school year. A CONCERNED FUNDER OF A SINGLE MOTHER

Very kind Samaritans return lost cellphone It was two Fridays ago, I believe on 24 July, when I, with a very dear friend of ours and her three little girls walked to the little playpark corner of Gert van Rooyen and Malmesbury roads. The little girls always enjoy this playpark with the merry-go-round and the slide and were having great fun. I took a video of them with my cellular phone and went to sit down on the little couch before returning to our cottage at La Provence for refreshments. There was a knock at the front door and our on-duty security guard, seeing me, asked whether I had my cellular phone with me. I had in fact just realised that I didn’t have it in my pocket when a man with two little children beside him, drew my attention to a cellular

phone in his hand and holding it up for me to see. It was, in fact, my phone. I was completely ﬂabbergasted, surprised, and shocked "out of my boots"! I offered him a reward which he declined, and I couldn’t stop saying thank you. A week later I had my little granddaughter with me, went to the same park and on our way home the good samaritan and his little daughter had noticed us and waited for us at our security gates. This time I remembered to ask him what his name was. Jonathan Edwards with his little daughter Olivia. Thank you, thank you and thank you. May you be blessed abundantly! MARIETTE PRIMIC, Welgelegen

Verlange na ‘Window shopping’ Met nolstalgie dink ek terug aan my grootwordjare in Bellville. Saterdagaande was 'n ritueel van window shopping doen in ons huishouding. Pa, ma en kinders klim in die Valiant wat blink en na politoer ruik en ons ry af tot by die Burgersentrum waar die motor geparkeer word. Ons klim dan uit en drentel al langs Voortrekkerweg af tot op die hoek van Voortrekker- en Durbanweg, stap dan oor die pad en drentel terug tot by die Valiant terwyl ons voor elke winkel vir 'n rukkie gaan staan en die inhoud in die venster bespreek. Dit was gehalte-gesinstyd. Ongelukkig het Bellville so verval en agteruit gegaan, dat die ritueel gestop moes word. Mense moes aanpas en danksy vooruitgang het mense aanlyn begin koop. Jy sit nou voor jou rekenaar of selfoon, blaai na 'n webwerf wat aanlynverkope doen en kies jou artikels om eendag te koop of dadelik. Onpersoonlike kommunikasie met 'n blikbrein. Geen interaksie of gesellige geselsies oor die artikels wat jy sien nie. Ons word ongesellig en distansieer onsself al hoe meer van die samelewing deurdat ons gedwing word om veiligheid te kies bo die kanse van moontlike kaping, aanranding en skelms wat om elke hoek en draai vir jou in Bellville se strate wag. LIZELLE STRYDOM, Chrismar

Ramp dreig by dam Die "kenners" van die Stad se parke-afdeling is besig om 'n massiewe ramp by Doordekraaldam te veroorsaak. In hul wysheid het hulle die riete voor die damwal en by die plekke waar mense visvang, uitgehaal. Dit het ongelukkig die gaping geskep vir pes-hiasinte om die spasie te oorweldig. Op die oomblik verdring dit enige groei van natuurlike plante en misbruik die suurstof van visse, paddas en krappe en ander gesonder plante. En hulle is feitlik onmoontlik om uit te roei. WAARNEMER, Bellville

Traffic officer was a hero in a dark moment in our life A blowout incident that happened on the N1 highway about 1,5 kilometres before the N1 petrol station northbound at 05:50 on Saturday 1 August left us in a very nervous and precarious position. But fear not, Western Cape traffic officer S. Sonday came to our rescue. What a relief and stunning sight to

see the blue lights lighting up the sombre moment we were experiencing. Officer Sonday stayed right behind us and with us all the way until we were able to nurse the vehicle all the way to the petrol station which was almost an hour on the road with the terrible damage done to the tyre.

Thank you to you, officer Sonday, for being our hero in such a dark moment in our life, and what an honour it is to live in such a sunning province with our protective police fearlessly protecting the citizens with such positive passion. NEIL CELLIERS

MORNINGSTAR JUNIOR HOSTS RUGBY TOURNAMENT

Rugby sevens kick off

orningstar Junior Rugby hosted its inaugural sevens rugby tournament on Monday 10 August, bringing 10 teams from various parts of Cape Town together. The teams were from Goodwood Junior Jaguars, Sakumzi Rugby Organisation, Union Milnerton Rugby Club, Connect NTK Rugby Football Club, Primrose Rugby Football Club, Helderberg Rugby Club, Edusmart Group, Kuils River Rugby Juniors and Hamediehs Rugby Football Club. The tournament aimed to give young players the opportunity to play rugby, gain exposure and develop their skills — "something that can be difficult to find in under-resourced communities", said Aldo Carelse, one of the project coordinators at Morningstar Junior Rugby. A FIRST FOR MORNINGSTAR "The event also created an opportunity for the wider Morningstar community to benefit, with residents able to trade at

food stalls during the tournament. The tournament is a first for Morningstar and forms part of a broader vision to establish Morningstar Junior Rugby as a platform where young players can access regular playing opportunities and develop through competition," he said. "For children in communities where rugby can be expensive, access to equipment, transport and regular matches are not always easy. We wanted to create an opportunity for the children, but we also wanted the broader community to benefit. "Events like this allow local people to be part of something that brings people together," Carelse said. REGULAR FEATURE "The intention is for the tournament to develop into a regular feature on the local sporting calendar," added Marcel Bosch, event and match coordinator at Morningstar Junior Rugby. Theresa Uys, ward councillor, said it was a great pleasure for her to attend the Morningstar Junior Rugby Club’s inaugural sevens tournament. "I congratulate all the players, coaches, parents and organisers for making this event a success. When young people come together in healthy competition, we strengthen our community, promote positive values and create opportunities for growth and development,” she said. John van Niekerk and Brent Seyfried, directors of Wingfield Motors, sponsor of Morningstar Junior Rugby, said its sponsorship is part of their commitment to support local clubs that bring people together and invest in the next generation.

10 000 turn out for Blisters KAYLYNNE BANTOM Foggy weather couldn’t dampen the spirits of the 10 000 people who turned out for this year’s Blisters for Bread Charity Family Fun Walk at Green Point Common on Sunday 16 August. Organised by the Peninsula School Feeding Association (PSFA) in association with Lucky Star, the event raised funds to support the organisation’s efforts to provide meals to thousands of vulnerable children across the Western Cape. With this year’s event drawing a record 10 000 participants, PSFA director Petrina Pakoe says they are already looking ahead to next year, with plans to build on the success and reach even more supporters. “The event is over but the support that we need is ongoing. We are grateful to everybody who came to support. Every entry feeds 23 children.” She thanked participants and sponsors for their contribution, while appealing for continued support as preparations get underway for the next walk. Premier Alan Winde said the event is about more than bringing people together. “I love attending each year because this is such an amazing cause and the community comes together to help

our kids. You cannot expect to get a good school outcome if you don’t have something in your stomach.” According to Winde, more than 500 000 learners get a school meal every day and the PSFA is one of those that help people get food in their stomach. “People always say stomachs full, eyes closed. But I say stomachs full open brain,” said Winde. Ricardo Mackenzie, Western Cape Minister of Cultural Affairs and Sport, reminded participants that their involvement goes beyond the walk itself. “Your entry and participation it what is giving thousands of children from this province a daily meal. “This is not just about being active, it’s about supporting our communities in need.” Kareema Allie, a representative from the BVP social club in Hanover Park, said this was their first year participating and it won’t be their last. Bernadette Solomon from Mitchells Plain said she participates every year as a way of giving back during her birthday month. Albertina Mlenga said she and her three friends travelled from Velddrif to support this “worthy cause.”
