he walls of his office are festooned with newspaper and magazine clippings, diplomas and certificates and awards from various organisations, including the Western Cape Education Department, that speak of an intense passion about teaching and the crucial role of education in society and the hard work that goes into its approaches. For Llewellyn van der Ross, newly-appointed deputy principal of Edgemead Primary School,

one of these honours was being named District Winner in the category National Best Teacher Award in the National Teaching Awards of 2024. He went on to be named Provincial Winner, and last year, at the National Teaching Awards 2025, he served as Provincial Adjudicator for the category National Best Teacher. TygerBurger also reported on his previous achievements (“From passion to SU”, 1/12/24). This year Van der Ross, who graduated with a masters’ degree from Stellenbosch University in 2024, achieved yet another

milestone – an international award for his master’s research from the Antonio Meneghetti Scientific and Humanistic Research Foundation, a Swiss non-profit foundation in consultative status with the United Nations Economic and

Social Council. “My master’s degree topic was ‘Reading comprehension losses during the Covid-19 lockdowns: An exploratory study of learning losses during the pandemic”. My motivation for writing on this topic was because I could see the impact this extended school closure had on my learners’ ability to read for meaning as a Grade 7 English Home Language teacher. This ignited my curiosity to explore this research area to gain a better understanding.

he Cape Town International Kite Festival will return for its 32nd year on Thursday 24 and Friday 25 October at Youngsfield Military Base in Ottery, bringing together thousands of people in support of mental health awareness and the work of Cape Mental Health. Since its launch in 1994, the festival has grown into Africa’s oldest kite festival and one of South Africa’s most recognised mental health awareness events. Beyond the colourful displays and family-friendly atmosphere lies a powerful purpose: breaking down stigma, encouraging helpseeking behaviour and reminding people that no one has to face mental health challenges alone. “We are excited to host the 32nd Cape Town International Kite Festival this spring – a time of growth, renewal and colour. The kite festival provides us with an awesome opportunity to brighten the sky with messages of hope, stories of resilience and to celebrate the courage and bravery of those who live with a mental health condition,” said Professor Ingrid Daniels, Cape Mental Health CEO. “The kite festival gives us the opportunity to host our international, national and local kiters who will bring vibrant colour and flair to the sky. It’s a time when Cape Town comes alive after the cold winter months to support Cape Mental Health in raising much-needed funds and mental health awareness.” #COLOURTHESKY THEME CELEBRATES CONNECTION This year’s theme, #ColourTheSky, celebrates the power of connection and the difference each person can make in creating brighter, more supportive communities. Giant kites from local and international kite flyers will create a

“It’s a time when Cape Town comes alive after the cold winter months” — Ingrid Daniels display of colour and creativity over the weekend. “#ColourTheSky perfectly captures the visual spectacle and emotional energy of the event. The beautiful kites immediately transform the blue sky into a bright, moving canvas that attracts participation and community spirit,” said Daniels. “It has universal appeal — colour speaks to all ages, cultures and languages, embracing diversity and inclusion without needing translation. Bright colours naturally trigger feelings of joy, optimism, hope, positivity and happiness despite difficult and challenging times. Colour overrides darkness and gives hope in the face of adversity.” SUPPORTING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES Visitors can look forward to family entertainment, interactive activities, food vendors and fun for all ages, while supporting Cape Mental Health and its vital work in the community. The festival has become a powerful platform for raising awareness about mental health, encouraging conversations around emotional wellbeing and helping to reduce the stigma that still prevents many people from seeking support. Every ticket purchased and every donation made helps Cape Mental Health continue providing essential free mental health services to vulnerable communities throughout the Western Cape. Early bird tickets are available via Quicket. For more information, visit www.capementalhealth. co.za/ColourTheSky or follow @CTKiteFest on social media.

WORK ETHIC “She is an outstanding human being, a dedicated patroller, and a humanitarian of note. Despite being a senior citizen, her energy, passion, and commitment put many half her age to shame,” he said. Marais said Bartsch is the definition of visual, active leadership within their community. “She wears her neighbourhood watch regalia with absolute pride, acting as a beacon of safety and unity wherever she goes. She does not just support our watch from afar; she is on the ground, actively participating in patrols and high-risk joint operations with Bothasig police. Whenever we host a function, whether it is one of our community boerewors roll events or station bonding times, she is the first to step up. She works tirelessly behind the scenes, baking magnificent treats from scratch with tender love and care to thank our officers, and using her infectious enthusiasm to motivate and uplift her fellow members.” He said her watch duties are only matched by her extraordinary humanitarian heart. “She looks after our most vulnerable, regularly driving local elderly residents to collect their chronic medications and taking them on grocery shopping trips so they are never left isolated. Her charity work is legendary in Richwood; she cooks meals for the poor, ensures the hungry have a warm plate of food, and consistently collects and delivers clothing, toys, and essentials to our local safe house.” He said Bartsch not only serves the community; she carries it. “Her dedication is on an entirely different level, and she commits to everything she does straight from the heart. As her chair, I could not be prouder to lead alongside her.” The Bothasig police also wrote a message motivating her for the award.

PEERS NOMINATE RICHWOOD WATCH MEMBER FOR CITY AWARDS Bartsch told TygerBurger that she is flattered to be nominated but does not feel she deserves it. “I feel like crawling under a rock,” she said jokingly. She said a lot of the work and success of the neighbourhood watch is down to the Glenn himself and that she is proud to be volunteer in the organisation and to work alongside him. She said the success of the neighbourhood watch is also down to the work of the rest of the volunteers in the organisation. NOMINATIONS The annual Neighbourhood Watch Awards, hosted by the City of Cape Town's safety and security directorate, will take place on 21 November. At the start of the month, the directorate invited neighbourhood watches to nominate members. Through the annual awards, the safety and security directorate recognises service excellence, commitment, hard work and perseverance of hundreds of neighbourhood watches, the City said. The nomination process closes today (Wednesday 30 September). “We have so many different people and groups who devote their lives to a safer city, some in uniform, others in reflective vests, patrolling their streets night after night. This annual recognition of their efforts, by their peers and their communities, no less, is a small token of our appreciation. I spend many hours patrolling alongside these organisations, and the devotion and dedication I witness is truly inspiring,” said JP Smith, Mayco member for safety and security.

For seabirds arriving at the Table View rehabilitation centre hungry, injured or weakened, recovery starts with something very simple: food. With the African penguin and Cape cormorant breeding season approaching, the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (Sanccob) is preparing for what could be a challenging few months. The organisation has secured about 17 tonnes of fish to help feed the birds in its care amid uncertainty surrounding fish availability and a recent sardine die-off along Southern Africa’s coastline. Sanccob says preparation is essential because it does not yet know what the coming months will bring.“The truth is simple: seabirds cannot heal without food,” the organisation said. 17 TONNES SECURED TO KEEP BIRDS IN CARE FED The organisation is currently caring for a range of seabirds, from African penguins and Cape cormorants to larger species with very different dietary requirements. A large pelican currently in Sanccob’s care can eat up to 15 fish in a single feed. A Shy Albatross, meanwhile, can consume around five squid per feed. For birds that arrive sick, injured, abandoned or malnourished, regular feeding is a crucial part of their rehabilitation before they can eventually be returned to the wild. But obtaining enough fish is becoming increasingly difficult against a backdrop of declining small pelagic fish stocks and growing pressure on marine ecosystems. AFRICAN PENGUINS ON BRINK OF EXTINCTION The African penguin was upgraded from Endangered to Critically Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in October 2024. Sanccob says the species has lost about 97% of its population, with fewer than 10 000 breeding pairs remaining globally. The decline has been linked to several threats, but access to food is one of the major concerns. African penguins depend heavily on small pelagic fish, particularly sardines and anchovies. Changes in where these fish occur can force penguins to travel further and spend more energy searching for food. They also face competition from commercial fishing for the same resources. Sanccob has warned that, if current population trends continue, African penguins could disappear from the wild by 2035. A FIGHT FOR FOOD BENEATH THE WAVES Cape cormorants, Cape gannets and other seabirds also depend heavily on sardines and anchovies.

Sanccob’s recent reporting identifies competition with commercial small-pelagic fisheries, along with environmental changes, as significant pressures on seabirds. The organisation says combined sardine and anchovy stocks are currently at their lowest recorded levels. This creates a difficult situation for seabirds trying to raise chicks. Adult birds need enough food to maintain their own condition while also returning to colonies to feed their young. When prey becomes scarce or moves further away, the distance and effort required to find food can have consequences for breeding success and chick survival. There have also been developments aimed at improving access to food for African penguins. In March 2025, Sanccob and BirdLife South Africa reached a settlement with the commercial sardine and anchovy fishing industry that was endorsed by the state and resulted in a Pretoria High Court order establishing no-take zones around six important African penguin breeding colonies. The measures are intended to protect biologically meaningful feeding areas for the penguins for the next decade. The conservation groups have argued that protecting access to prey is essential if the species is to have a chance of recovering. As breeding season approaches, Sanccob is preparing for an uncertain period along the coast — one in which the availability of food could make a significant difference to the seabirds depending on it. And for the birds already in its care, the message remains straightforward: before they can heal, they need to eat. Help Sanccob by donating a ﬁsh box, adopting a seabird or making a donation via the link in our bio or at www.sanccob.co.za

African penguins remain critically endangered, with their population having declined by about 97% and fewer than 10 000 breeding pairs remaining.

otorists once again have full access to all lanes on one of Cape Town’s busiest routes after the City completed an extensive rehabilitation of Jakes Gerwel Drive, despite challenges and delays experienced along the way. The City of Cape Town’s Mayco member for urban mobility, Rob Quintas, visited the recently rehabilitated portion of Jakes Gerwel last week to inspect the completed work. The project represented a significant undertaking along one of the city’s busiest arterial routes, the City said.

and commuter for their patience and cooperation throughout this project. Investing in the rehabilitation of our roads is critical to extending the lifespan of our infrastructure, improving the journey for road users and, importantly, keeping Cape Town moving,” said Quintas.

FULL ACCESS RESTORED TO ALL LANES The section of Jakes Gerwel Drive between Viking Way near Elsies River and Voortrekker Road near Goodwood has been fully reopened to traffic. “It’s great to finally have this section of Jakes Gerwel Drive, between Viking Way and Voortrekker Road, fully reopened following an extensive rehabilitation of this important arterial route. I want to sincerely thank every motorist

SCOPE OF THE REHABILITATION PROJECT The City started the major project in January last year, with work taking place on both the northbound and southbound carriageways, as well as the service roads and slip lanes. The work included rehabilitating the road pavement, replacing bridge joints, guardrails and road signs, upgrading concrete channels and reinstating manholes and other infrastructure, the City said.

Seniors se koor maak groot indruk DESIRÉE RORKE

DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA

Viva 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, Kuilsrivier en die Othello-aftreeoord in Brackenfell laat oefen. 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.”

Die koor en die leiers (voor van links) is Marlene Kruger, Petro van den Heever, Annatjie Smit, René Ferreira en Liesbet Möller.

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

‘Main Street 1549 Pty Ltd’ is pushing to secure Block 11b and 12b currently conducting an Environmental Impact Assessment with interests in oil and gas exploration off the coast of Mossel Bay. 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.

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.

Redevelopment of hospital on the cards RICHARD ROBERTS

RICHARD.ROBERTS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

he Western Cape MEC of Health and Wellness, Mireille Wenger, visited Tygerberg Hospital recently to discuss and provide an update on the much-needed redevelopment of the state-owned facility. Wenger and Nonhlanhla Nkosi, the department’s deputy director general, met with Marchel German, Ambassador of Global Gateway: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and Ditri Zandrstra, Director of Public Finance: Invest International and Mohale Rakgate, acting head of Infrastructure Finance and Implementation Support Agency (Ifisa) — partners in the redevelopment — at Tygerberg Hospital recently. It was during this visit on Wednesday 16 September, that the group signed a Statement of Intent. In an online post, Wenger noted that the work being undertaken is intended to help the department deliver high-quality, specialised healthcare to South Africans,

Mireille Wenger

DEPUTY DG MEETS PARTNERS while also strengthening training for the next generation of health professionals. ONCE-IN-A-GENERATION TRANSFORMATION Wenger told TygerBurger that the redevelopment of Tygerberg Hospital is one of the Western Cape Government’s mega-builds for future infrastructure and is a once-in-a-generation transformation of healthcare in the province. “Redeveloping Tygerberg is one of the largest and most technically complex infrastructure projects the province has undertaken. The Western Cape Government is working through the required planning and National Treasury processes to secure a sustainable Public Private Partnership agreement. These requirements are essential to protect public finances and ensure the hospitals can serve communities for decades to come. “This is a long-term project and given the scale of the project and the multiple processes still under way, it is not yet possible to confirm a start date, final cost or completion deadline. However, we are working towards breaking ground in 2029,” said Wenger. STATEMENT OF INTENT Wenger said the agreement explores up to 45 million in proposed support, made available through the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs via Invest International, for health technology and medical equipment for the future Tygerberg Hospital redevelopment. “The proposed support is structured in two phases: 15 million is envisaged for oncology-related health technology, with up to a further 30 million for advanced medical equipment for the main redevelopment. This remains subject to the required agreements, conditions, and governance processes. “While ground has not yet been broken, this is the essential work happening behind the scenes that will make the project possible. This proposed support would help ensure that the future Tygerberg Hospital has the technology and equipment needed to provide specialised, high-quality care and train the next generation of health professionals,” said Wenger.

Badisa Western Cape recently held its 2026 conference and AGM.

Badisa hosts 2026 Conference and AGM with a difference Badisa, a social services organisation, recently brought employees, managers, board members, stakeholders and supporters together for its 2026 “From Paper to Possibilities” Conference and Annual General Meeting (AGM). The event took place on Wednesday 9 September at Die Bron Church, Willowbridge Centre in Bellville and brought together people from across Badisa’s network of more than 130 community-based programmes, alongside businesses, suppliers, speakers and performers. This year’s event explored a simple question: how do individuals and organisations move good ideas from paper into possibilities that can make a real difference in people’s lives and communities? For Badisa, this question is closely linked to the reality of its work. Behind every report, strategy and programme are people, families and communities. The conference created an opportunity to step away from everyday demands, reconnect with purpose and build stronger connections across the organisation, it said. A CONFERENCE WITH A DIFFERENCE Actor and entertainer Charles Tertiens was the master of ceremonies, while Early B brought energy to the morning programme through storytelling and music, getting the audience on their feet. The programme also included Liomee Vosloo and Ilana Steyn, with sessions focusing on purpose, individual strengths, meaningful networks, media engagement and practical ways to contribute towards

stronger communities, Badisa said. AN AGM WITH A TWIST Instead of a traditional AGM format, Badisa this year incorporated elements of a live television show, combining formal annual business with couch conversations, interviews, music and storytelling One of the most moving moments came when Springbok Sevens player Jayden Nell shared his personal story, leaving barely a dry eye in the room. Singer Leah also joined the evening programme for a live interview and concert performance, giving attendees the opportunity to connect with her through both conversation and music. MORE THAN AN EVENT For Badisa, “From Paper to Possibilities” was about more than hosting a conference. It was about bringing people together, strengthening the idea of one Badisa and reminding employees, managers and board members of the shared purpose behind their work, the organisation said. “Badisa works in many different communities and across a wide range of services, but we remain one organisation with a shared purpose. This event gave us an opportunity to reconnect with why we do this work and reflect on what becomes possible when we use our individual strengths towards a common goal,” said Basie van Wyk, Badisa chief executive. Badisa works across the Western Cape and parts of the Northern and Eastern Cape, supporting individuals, families and communities through a wide range of social care services.

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

Please help us take our Oakdale community back VREESLOOS-LEERDERS: Radio Tygerberg 104FM se jaarlikse Vreesloos-eindronde het einde verlede week plaasgevind. Soos ander jare is die deelnemers tydens die 24-uur-uitdaging emosioneel, ﬁsiek én intellektueel tot die uiterste beproef met verskillende uitdagings soortgelyk soos in “Survivor”, “Fear Factor” en “Mr Beast Games” – van vuurmaak met byna niks en werk agter ’n mikroskoop tot vreemde kos, ﬁsieke uithouvermoeë en ’n uitdagende 1 500-stuk legkaart het elke uitdaging die spanne die geleentheid gebied om waardevolle punte in te samel. Die hoërskole DF Akademie, Jan van Riebeeck, Brackenfell en Melkbosstrand het aan die eindronde deelgeneem. DF Akademie en die Hoërskool Melkbosstrand deel die tweede plek en Jan van Riebeeck is vanjaar se wenskool.

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

DOUBLE PROMOTION TRIUMPH FOR AMATEUR FOOTBALL CLUB

Bothasig AFC celebrates

n a remarkable season of growth and dominance, Bothasig Amateur Football Club (AFC) has capped off a historic campaign with major silverware and promotion across both their senior football setups. The club captured the First Division league title and earned automatic promotion back to the prestigious Cape Town Tygerberg Local Football Association (CTTLFA) Premier Division, following a period in relegation. After enduring the disappointment of relegation the previous season, the club entered the 2026 campaign with a clear mission, to get back where they belong. Under steady leadership, the squad orchestrated an outstanding league run characterised by crucial victories and high-scoring performances, the club said. Throughout the season, Bothasig’s relentless attack and resilient defence proved too hot for division rivals to handle. Key results that anchored their championship campaign included a commanding 4–0 home triumph over Kuils River, and crucial back-to-back league wins against Sunningdale City (3–2) and Ruyterwacht (2–0). The First Team put

the exclamation mark on their stellar campaign with a thrilling 6–3 victory over JMI Cape Town Football Club and Academy in their final home fixture, sealing top spot on the league standings in emphatic style, the club said. “First, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the club’s leadership and management for giving me this incredible opportunity. Taking on this role has been a privilege, and together with the players, our single-minded focus was to put this club right back where it belongs. I couldn’t be prouder of the squad. The players put in relentless hard work, day in and day out, and their dedication on and off the pitch made all the difference. “Finally, a massive thank you to our entire technical team and support staff. Their tireless effort behind the scenes, expertise, and commitment were essential to everything we accomplished this season,” said David Kannemeyer, First Team Head Coach. This triumph is a testament to the dedication of the players, coaching staff, and everyone involved behind the scenes. With promotion locked in, the First Team now shifts focus toward preparing for the tougher challenges that await in the

The Bothasig AFC Women’s Team

CLUB CAPTURES FIRST DIVISION LEAGUE TITLE AND EARNS AUTOMATIC PROMOTION BACK TO CTTLFA Premier Division next season, the club said. TRIUMPHANT RETURN Adding to the club’s silverware, the return of the Bothasig AFC Ladies team has yielded incredible success. Following rapid development and stellar pitch performances throughout the 2026 season – highlighted by clean-sheet wins over Norway Parks (5–0), Saxon Rovers (4–1), and Hout Bay (1–0) — the ladies have officially earned promotion to the Women’s Premier Division for the 2027 season. This promotion means so much more than simply moving up a division, the club said. The goal was not only to compete, but to build something that our ladies could be proud of. We wanted to create an environment where women could develop as footballers, challenge themselves, support one another and genuinely enjoy being part of the game, said Nicole Rinquest, Head of Ladies. “The year 2026 has been a very successful year for Bothasig AFC, and one

that has made me extremely proud of our club. After being relegated last season, our men’s team showed tremendous character and determination by securing top spot and earning promotion back to the Premier Division — just as our coach promised. Their response to last season’s disappointment has been outstanding. Our ladies’ team also deserves huge recognition for securing promotion in their first year back after a short break. To see both our men and women achieve promotion in the same season is a fantastic accomplishment and a proud moment for the entire club. These successes are a reflection of the hard work and commitment of our players, coaches, committee, volunteers, parents and supporters. Everyone has played a part in making this a memorable year. “The club can now build on this success, giving the next generation of players the opportunity to develop, compete and enjoy the game we all love. Our goal is to continue growing Bothasig AFC both on and off the field and to remain a club that our community can be proud of,” said Bradley George, Club Chairman. With both squads achieving their top targets, Bothasig AFC now turns its attention to pre-season preparations for what promises to be a landmark 2027 campaign in Cape Town’s premier competitions, the club said.
