t a sparsely attended but outspoken budget meeting with the City of Cape Town in Durbanville last week, residents and other groups from Subcouncil 7 noted their concerns over the proposed tariff restructuring, and the neglect of its own fast-growing community in the 2025-'26 municipal draft budget
From double-digit rate increases masked by official spin according to residents, to the near-total absence of infrastructure upgrades in their area, attendees questioned the City’s spending plan as both unfair and out of touch
Despite low attendance, insightful and concerning feedback was heard by Welgemoed CID, Durbanville Residents and Ratepayers Association, Vredekloof CID, and residents from Tara on the serious impact the proposed 2025'26 municipal budget will have on residents
Three key issues that demand
“...atroublingdisconnect betweentheCity’spublic messagingandtheactual financialimpacton residents ”
Perot Louw
urgent attention and public input, according to ratepayer Perot Louw, were misleading rate increase messaging, an alarming lack of capital investment and questionable ward allocation of each ward
"The City continues to promote the narrative that municipal account increases will remain 'below 10%' However, for the majority of residents, the reality is far different where most are facing increases exceeding 20%
R40 billion capital expenditure budget is allocated to Subcouncil 7
This represents a troubling disconnect between the City s public messaging and the actual financial impact on residents," says Louw
NOMAJORROADUPGRADES
A quick calculation, he says, shows that less than 1,5% of the
"Given that we are one of the largest and fastest-developing subcouncils, this is deeply concerning Particularly alarming is the complete absence of any major road upgrades planned for the next three years " "This is even more problematic in the context of the upcoming R300 extension project by Province and Sanral The City will need to invest in connecting road infrastructure to ensure the success of this regional initiative
"Brackenfell Boulevard, for example, remains unaddressed It seems as if the City is sitting back and expecting that all upgrades and maintenance on infrastructure should be done by developers," he says
As it stands, not a single one of these necessary upgrades appears in the current budget
Furthermore, the standard annual R1 million ward allocation includes several questionable projects, particularly in Ward 21, according to Louw TOPAGE2
sted for at least obberies
spotting the approaching police vehicle the Hyundai accelerated to evade capture
A high-speed pursuit ensued, culminating in Station Road, Maitland, where the suspects abandoned the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot Both suspects were apprehended by the officers
A subsequent search of the vehicle uncovered false number plates suspected to have been used in various crimes
Officers also recovered a purse containing stolen bank cards and identity documents
Further investigation linked the suspects to at least seven armed robberies in the above-mentioned areas The two were detained at Goodwood Police Station and were to appear in court on multiple charges related to armed robbery and possession of stolen property

Louw highlighted the following budget items as cause for concern
"Sonneblom Park fencing is to be allocated R300 000
“This fence has already been erected Why is it budgeted again?
“Also the Bella Rosa dog park at R250 000 is questionable as this too appears to have already been completed Together, these two line items represent 55% of the ward budget "
Louw encouraged all residents in the subcouncil to peruse the tariff increases and submit their comments on the budget before the cut-off date of public participation on 2 May
The City indicated that it would release a statement on the matter, but it had not been received by the time of publication

Herewith signing out for one last time...
I had a dream of becoming a journalist from Grade 5, when a teacher helped me recognise my gift of the written word And despite much discouragement of having faith in one's own career dreams, I went on to realise them
Once realised, soon enough it became abundantly clear that this was the right choice, making a difference through telling the stories of others
I always say we are often the voiceless soldiers behind the published works, rewarded by a simple byline at the top for our efforts No personal opinions, no guided narratives So on these few occasions we give readers insight into the person who is the subject of our newspaper
For those who may not know me, or my story, my name is Samantha (although I never hear my full name unless I'm in trouble, of course) I had a dream of becoming a journalist at People's Post newspaper, specifically writing for Mitchells Plain, the area I was born and finished my schooling in, and to which I still a have very deep sense of belonging, even though my family moved out of the area at the start of high-school years
I was inspired to make a difference by telling the positive news from the area, amid continuous front-page articles about all the deepest darkest happenings in the area
My dream was largely realised in 2014 as an intern, on the newspaper's Lansdowne edition But slowly God let the full dream unfold, and in time I wrote for the prized edition for Mitchells Plain What was meant to be a six-month internship ended
..
I WAS INSPIRED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY TELLING THE POSITIVE NEWS FROM THE AREA
after three months with a full-time offer It was an opportunity to prove myself Consequently, I believe I personify the saying "If you love what you do you won't work a day in your life "
With more than 50 awards, commendations, finalist nominations and recognitions along the more-than-10year span of my career, and having the privilege of featuring in almost every major journalism competition in the country I never imagined doing anything else And honestly, through all of this I have learnt many valuable lessons
You know, one cannot tell the future; I mean, if you asked me a few years ago where I'd be at this point my answer would probably have been the same as it was then
Tomorrow I will officially close a chapter of my life At 32 I stand at the precipice of major change I once believed it was too late for me to start over I recognise the magnitude of this new career move, an opportunityto make a fresh start, a whole new beginning, which is more than many can do right now In fact, I didn't want to write this column at all, for fear it would be a tad too emotional My colleagues were quite adamant that I write this, my swansong, and how glad I am that I obliged
For the past 10-and-a-half years, People's Post, and later TygerBurger (as the publication name changed), has become such a huge part of my identity, a publication I have passionately advocated for, and it has been such an incredible ride And while it is with a heavy heart that I officially bid farewell to my career as a reporter today I am so immensely grateful for all I have achieved on this most fulfilling of journeys
Thank you for the memories, for the platform, for the opportunity to inform, inspire and entertain you along the way As I often would say in my videos, "signing out for one more time [although this time final], for People's Post news I am Samantha Lee-Jacobs "

Residents fed up with street racing chaos
On Friday evening I called law enforcement regarding the cars speeding in the Goodwood area
On Sunday night again cars motorbikes were revving, racing up and down the Goodwood area for hours
The law enforcement call centre had my call on hold for 10 minutes
Even though they are based in Goodwood the operator said she could not hear anything or see anything on the cameras I asked if they have double-paned windows?
The police station is also in the area Are these departments so far removed from the actual lawlessness in our residential areas?

Die tale wat ons praat
Ek sien Ou Toppie van Kuilsrivier kla verlede week oor Kaaps ("Ek hou nie van Kaaps", TygerBurger 23 April) Soos hy dit so mooi stel het hy 'n broertjie dood daaraan, want hy "pratie" so nie of meng nie juis met die wat so praat nie
Ek moet sê hy klink 'n bietjie verwaand synde dat hy die wat wel so praat se intellek of beskaafdheid bevraagteken (hulle het ''net-net gr 2 deurgeskraap of ken bloot nie ordentlike taal nie'' in sy woorde, of is kwasi-skrywers of akademeci wat 'n verhandeling moet regverdig) Nee goeiste Ou Toppie ek dink dit is darem so 'n aks of wat te dik vir 'n daalder en 'n bietjie neus in die lug Daar is mos plek vir skakerings in ons taal (en ja Afrikaans is almal wat dit praat s'n - ongeag hoeveel skakerings en nerings daar in daardie "ons" is)
Ek praat "okie" Kaaps nie maar hoekom sal dit 'n ander pla hoe ek praat of nie praat nie of waarom sal ek my ontstel oor hoe ander praat - miskien moet ons eerder probeer om mekaar beter te verstaan ongeag hoe die woorde oor ons lippe rol
Vir my lees Kaaps (soos in Nathan Trantraal onder andere) se skrywes 'n biejie moeilik maar ek was al aangenaam verras want soms sê dit darem 'n ding raak en gee lewe aan die storie Hier in die Kaap het ek buiten sommige Kaapse terme ook woorde uit die Moslem-gemeenskap begin leer ken Na my mening verryk dit mens net Nee wat Ou Toppie moenie so ''judgerig wesie'' Soos my ma altyd sê -leef en laat leef en gun vir almal (en hoe hulle praat) 'n plekkie in die son Viva veelkantige Afrikaans!

Save our coastline from litter before it’s too late
I took a walk along one of Cape Town’s beautiful beaches this past weekend and was heartbroken by what I saw Plastic bottles, food wrappers, fishing line, and even broken glass littered the sand, marring what should be one of our greatest natural treasures
Cape Town is known worldwide for its stunning coastline, but without urgent action, we risk losing this priceless asset to pollution and neglect While volunteer clean-ups are admirable they are not enough The City needs to implement regular beach maintenance, stricter littering fines, and more public education campaigns about the consequences of pollution
We must also tackle the issue at the source:
improving waste management in nearby communities and encouraging recycling Installing more visible accessible bins along beach entrances could help Beaches are not just playgrounds for tourists; they are crucial ecosystems for marine life and important spaces for local communities If we fail to protect them now, future generations will inherit nothing but polluted shorelines
Saving our coastline must become a shared responsibility between the government, businesses, and all residents It’s time we treat our beaches with the respect they deserve

Paasweek gaan nie oor partytjies nie
Paasfees was 'n tyd om met familie deur te bring Om te reflekteer oor jou lewe en hoe Christus die prys vir jou betaal het om jouself af te vra lewe ek vir Hom, wat vir my gesterf het? Maar eerlikwaar ek dink ons mense het die hele punt daarvan gemis Oral rond was daar die een partytjie na die ander partytjie van vroeg tot laat of sommer heelnag deur En ja, mens kan dit sekerlik
verstaan familie het kom kuier Kom ons wees gesellig Maar hoekom moet daar dan altyd 'n bakleiery ook uitbreek en almal se naweek onplesierig maak? Wat 'n super belangrike tydperk in 'n Christen se lewe moet wees word nou geheel en al in iets anders verander Die kerke is leeg, maar die strate is vol Waarna toe is ons mensdom oppad?

Elderlycrushed by tariff hikes
I am writing to express my deep unhappiness with the recent increases in municipal tariffs which have placed an unbearable burden on pensioners like myself I have lived in my home for over 30 years, contributing to the community and faithfully paying all rates and taxes
But now, in my retirement years, I find myself struggling to keep up with the ever-rising costs of basic municipal services The increases linked to property values are simply unaffordable on a fixed pension income The value of my home increased exponentially over the last few years, as was the case for all home owners in Cape Town, forcing me into a bracket where my municipal bill will increase by nearly 20% It feels as though those of us who have spent our lives building this city are now being punished for staying in the homes we worked so hard to pay off There seems to be little consideration for pensioners who, without any means to increase their income, are being squeezed beyond their limits I urge the municipality to review these tariff hikes and consider relief measures for senior citizens Our dignity and ability to live securely in our own homes should not be eroded by the very city we helped shape JO ROBERTS, Brackenfell

Club rugby action heats up
Rugby supporters of clubs in Super League A are in for a stressful time this season as there are no outright favourites at the moment With three games completed Durbell are currently log leaders with 14 points after three matches, and it was obvious on Saturday 26 April against newbie Van der Stel-Evergreens from Stellenbosch that they are on a mission to topple Hamiltons this year At half-time Durbell led 1912 and VDE was still in the game
However, when the second half started VDE could not keep up with the experienced Durbell players who romped to a 52-24 victory
LESSONS
Valuable lessons were learnt by the visitors and the spectators in Durbanville cannot complain about the rugby on display
Other teams cannot afford to write VDE off after this loss and everyone is looking forward to the rest of the season to see how they grow after each match against the big guns In their first match they dispatched St Georges by 40-11
But rugby leagues are not won in May and with the tertiary institutions starting to fulfil their
league commitments after the Varsity Cup and Varsity Shield, it will be a seesaw-battle on the log
Helderberg is second on the log with 12 points followed by Villager (11) and False Bay (7)
In other matches in Super League A Ikeys beat Kuils River by 23-22, Brackenfell beat Maties by 46-35, Villagers overpowered SK-Walmers by 64-26, Helderberg beat Unimil by 50-27 and False Bay were victorius against UWC with a 34-30 win
In Super League B Hamediehs opened their season with a 42-36 win over NTK at Vygieskraal, while Collegians were pipped by Macassar with one point when they lost 31-32 in Athlone Goodwood was too strong for CPUT and were winners by 40-20 Franschhoek beat Primrose 27-20
FIXTURES
The following teams will square off on in Super League A on Saturday 3 May:
. Hamiltons v SK-Walmers
. Brackenfell v Tygerberg
. St George’s v UCT
. VDE v Unimil
. False Bay v Maties
