Sewerupgrades bringrelief
DESIRÉERORKE
DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA
Morethan 10 000 metres of sewer pipes were replacedacross Cape Town's northern suburbsin March, bringing long-awaited relief to communities in Bloekombos, Belmont Park, Scottsdene and Wallacedene, areas where raw sewagehas flowed through streets and contaminated rivers for years.
The work forms part of arecord-breaking citywide programme thatsaw nearly 193 km of ageingwater and sewer pipes renewedinthe past financial year. But for residents who have lived with the stenchand healthrisks of collapsing infrastructure since2017, the question remains whether it is enough to defuse what one City health official once called a public healthtime bomb.
TheCity's annualpipe replacement programme forms part of along-term strategy to renew ageing infrastructure before failuresoccur, reducing water losses, preventingsewer overflows and strengtheningthe resilience of water and sanitationnetworks, according to theCity's Mayco memberfor water and sanitation, Zahid Badroodien.
TECHNICALCRITERIA
In astatementtothe media on Friday he said projectsare prioritised according to technical criteria including the age and material of pipes, historical failure trends and operational risk, ensuring the areas of greatest need are addressed first
Citywide, the directorate replaced 88,7 km of water pipes against atarget of 50 km, and 104 km of sewer pipes against a target of 100 km. In the final four months of the 2025-'26 financial year alone, 40 991 metres of water pipes and 66 992 metres of sewer pipes were replaced.
"Replacing nearly 193 km of ageing water and sewer pipes is amajor achievement, but we cannot allow arecord year to become areason to slow down. Cape Town's infrastructure must keep pace with population growth, ageing networks and the rising demands of achanging climate," he says. "Ourambition is not simply to respond faster when pipes fail. It is to renew more of the network beforefailures occur, reduce water losses and sewer overflows and provide every community with amore reliable and resilient service. We have made significant progress, but there is still much more to do, and we intend to build on thismomentum in the year ahead."
PUBLICHEALTHTIMEBOMB
Thesewage crisis in Wallacedene peaked in 2024, when at aSubcouncil 2meeting Dr Andile Zimba from the City of Cape Town’s health department warned of a "public health time bomb".

CapeTown’s infrastructure spendhitsrecord
DESIRÉERORKE
DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA
CapeTown has smashed anational record, spending more than R12.2 billion on infrastructure in asingle financial year, butnot everyoneiscelebrating,with opposition questioning whether ratepayers cankeep shouldering the cost.
Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis, last week Thursday announced the City’s capitalexpenditure tally of over R12.2 billionfor the 2025-'26financial year as being not only arecord infrastructure investment for Cape Town, but as aSouth African-record for acity in asingle year.
"The recordR12.24 billion capital investment in this past financial year demonstrates notonly to Capetonians –buttoSouth Africansright across the country –whatittakes to build for the future, to build aCity of Hope," said HillLewis in his address to council.
"Not aday goesbythatwedon’t read another heartbreaking reportofthe decay, neglectand collapse of public infrastructure in so many of our country’s other cities andtowns. We made avow that this would never happen to Cape Town.
“When we started this term of office, theCity could achieve no more than R6 billion investment in ayear,but now we havemore thandoubled that to over R12 billion. Ifirmly believe this is the minimum required investment that Cape Town –and every other major metro in thecountry –should be making in basic infrastructure every year as agolden rule, growing annually to account for inflation and population growth.”
TheCity’s top three directorates for percentage of budgetspent was Safetyand Security (99,85%), Finance (99,45%),and Urban Waste Management (98,37%)
Of thedirectoratesinthe City’s "billion club" with major investment portfolios of highly complex projects, Energy spent 96,53% (R1,29 billion) of itsbudget, followedbyHuman Settlements (93,38% or R1,34 billion) and Water and Sanitation (92,1% or R4,47 billion).
MayorHill-Lewis said the City’s water and sanitationinvestment was bigger than theentire capitalbudget of most cities.
"On theveryfirst day of thisterm of office,Iwent to Khayelitsha and deliberately stood at an overflowing sewer, and said this must change. At that time, theCity was replacing andupgrading just 25km of sewerpipes eachyear. Since then, we haveset our targetat100km ayear.
Both the largest,and the second largest sewer pipe upgrade projects in South Africa are currently under construction hereinCape Town,being theCape Flats main sewerupgrade,and thePhilippi mainlineupgrade," he said, adding that they haveseen sewer spillsand blockages come down acrossthe city by 33% in this term
75%OFSPENDBENEFITSLOWER-INCOME
HOMES
He said around 75% of Cape Town’s infrastructure investment directly benefits lower-income households based on the City’sestimatesfor the 2025-'26 capital budget. Furthermore,around 130 000 construction-related jobs will flow from capitalinvestmentinthe current termof office alone accordingtoCityestimates.
Infrastructure investment highlights over the next three years include R16,7 billion for water andsanitation —40% of totalspending— covering major wastewaterworksupgrades, aR2billion pipe replacement programme, and expanded watersupply sources.
The electrical grid will receive R6 billion in upgradesand maintenance as the City prepares for adecentralised energy
future with reduced reliance on Eskom, while R3.7 billion has been allocated to road maintenance, pothole repairs and stormwater upgrades, alongside R653 million for congestion relief.
Public transport receives asignificant boost through R3.2 billion for the MyCiTi Cape Flats expansion, with afurther R3.3 billion set aside for informal settlement upgrading and state-subsidised housing.
ABUDGETOVER-INFLATED?
Budget specialist and nember of the City's Finance PortfolioCommittee, Sandra Dickson from the GOOD Party, asks the question.
"Dothe ratepayers of Cape Townfit anywhere in the Mayor's spending extravaganza? Today, City Councilwas turned into an awards ceremony for spending ratepayers’ money," she said after the council meeting.
"TheMayor boasted that the City spent R12,24 billion of itscapital budget, while directorates were ranked, praised and handed certificates for achieving the highest spending percentages," she said.
"But thisisnot prize money. Everyrand comes from residentsalready battling rising electricity, water, sanitation, refuse and property-rates bills. Many households are cutting back on food and other necessities simply to keep theirmunicipal accounts paid."
She noted the Mayor had indicated that future capital-budget increases must equal population growth plus inflation. While thismay explain the growth in expenditure, she said, the question remains whether ratepayers can afford to keep funding it
"Spending almost every cent of abudget is not automatically an achievement. The real testisaffordability, value for money and whether residentsactually receive reliable services. Cape Town does not need acompetition to spend ratepayers’ money. It needs accountability for what every billion delivered, and what it cost struggling households,"she said.
"Itiseasy to say that one is satisfied with the City’s management when one can pay their municipal bill without any difficulty every month. But that personal experience does not represent the realityofhundreds of thousands of other households. For many residents, salaries, pensions and social income are not increasing at nearly the same rate as electricity, water, sanitation, garbage collection, fixed charges and property taxes. They do not necessarily use more services, but each year the share of their income that must be paid to the City increases."
"When amunicipal bill grows larger and larger while ahousehold’s income changes little, people eventually have to choose between food, transport, medicine, school expenses and paying municipal services. It is not simply amatter of people not wanting to pay. Many simply cannot pay everything anymore. This creates acity of two realities: thosewho can absorb the rates and are therefore satisfied, and those who sink further intomunicipal debt every month.
"Good governance should thereforenot only be measured by how much money is spent or how Cape Towncompares to other cities. It should also be measured by how many ordinary people can stillafford theirbasic municipal services without sacrificing other necessities."
City’s spend hailed as record, questioned by opposition.

Timbacore’sleap offaithlandsin Brackenfell
After 18 years in Stikland, Timbacore has found anew home, and owner Nathaniel Roberts believes it was meant to be.
The timber, hardware and DIY business officially opened itsnew premises at 10 Kiewiet Close,Okavango Park, Brackenfell, on Saturday 1August, with amorning of festivities marking the occasion.
"Our move here was astoryoffaith Everything fell into place perfectly," Roberts told TygerBurger."We wereatour premises in Stikland for 18 years when we got sudden notice to vacate. This premises in Brackenfell opened as we needed it. As the one door closed the new opened I'm achild of God and don't believein coincidences."
The move marks the latest chapter in acompany that has grown steadily since its humble beginnings in 1998, when it started out focusing on installations. Three years later, in 2001,Timbacore opened its firstretail shop in upper Durban Road, Tygervalley,offering timber products, poles, trellises, fencing panels, garden edging and railway sleepers.
The shop grew rapidly and within two years needed more space, prompting amove to a2 500 m² premisesin Bella Rosa,Durbanville. It outgrewthat too, and with the factory in Blackheath and the installation department in Maitland operating separately, management sawan opportunity to bring everything under one roof.
In 2008, Timbacore settled at a10000 m² propertyinFarad Street,Stikland, housing the shop, manufacturing department, installation department and acoffee shop wherecustomers could enjoy refreshments while browsing.
Since2018, the business has expanded its

AccordingtoZimba public health is at thecentre of theongoingsewage spills in Wallacedene thatpollutes large parts of thecity via threecontaminated rivers. He warnedofthe outbreak of diseases such as cholera, typhoid fever and gastroenteritis.
“Raw sewage is not supposed to run into (retention) ponds or water streams,” he said to achamberbrimming with City officials of all the relevant City departments. In the hotseat were Mayor of Cape Town Geordin Hill-Lewis and City managerLungelo Mbandazayo who reportedback on ashort-term service delivery plan developed to tackle the stinky affair.
This followedanurgent plea made to themayor andcity manager by previous Subcouncil 2chair Marian Nieuwoudt in March2024 reminding them of their mutual legislative accountability for servicedelivery failures.
MAINSOURCE
Callingthe area a“slum” Nieuwoudt said thepollution has becomeuntenable and constituted an infrastructure and servicedelivery failure. Themain source of sewage spills originates around the Covid Squattercamps where some 9400 shackssprung up nexttothe formal township of Bloekombos in a landgrab during the pandemic. Existing infrastructure collapsed under the pressure of the populationexplosion in the midstofongoing illegal dumping intothe stormwaterand sewer systems.Streams of raw sewage in thestreets wheremany young children play is acommon sight, while contaminatedretention ponds spill over into thecity canalsand rivers that
“We remain committed to ensuring that the matter is addressed fairly, objectively, and in the bestinterests of all learners involved.
“We thank you for your understanding, support, and commitment to maintaining the values of respect,dignity, and sportsmanship that both our schools uphold,”the statement read.
Asimilar statement was also posted on the websiteofThe SettlersHigh School by the principal, the school management team and the School Governing Body. Theincident is being investigated by the Western Cape Education Department.
bear the brunt of it.
To the north-west, sewage flows from the canals intoMosselbank River through the suburb of Kraaifontein, past Durbanville and downstream intoMilnerton lagoon and the ocean; and to the south-east, it flows from the Botfontein canal into BottelaryRiver at the back of Brackenfell intoKuils River downstream to Macassar and intothe ocean, polluting agricultural and residential areas along theirway.
DOWNSTREAMLANDOWNERS
TygerBurger previously reported that instances of sewage pollution were reported by downstream landowners resulting in National Environmental Management Act (Nema) notices being issued. At the time the newspaper was informed by areliable source that millions were allegedly spent on implementinga turnaround service plan for the area back in 2021, aplan that was abruptly halted. TygerBurger could not confirm the exact amount from the City, who in response to amedia inquiry stated that “they had no answers”.
Sewage contamination was reported as early as 2017 by residentsof Joostenbergvlakte, arural area adjacent to Bloekombos. Residentsfirst became aware of the stench in September 2017 coming from the stormwater canal running along Joostenbergvlakte on the N1 on the other side of Bloekombos. The sewage contamination was confirmed when residentstook water samples from the canal and retention dam for tests at ARC Elsenberg Research Laboratory. Tests indicated the E.coli count in the water samples to be 3000 times over the legal limit at atoxic level.

LEWENSKIEKIE
Onder al dierommel van’ngebrek aan internet-etiket ...
Wanneer jy hier lees, is onsop die vooraandvan een van die grootste rugbygebeurtenisse in die geskiedenis vandie land. Dalk selfs diewêreld.
Die All Blacks uit Nieu-Seeland ishierop huleerstevolwaardige toer in 30 jaar. Die toer staan bekend as The Greatest Rivalry, want nie net is die Springbokke en dieAll Blacks mekaarsegrootste teenstanders nie, maar hulle is ook al jarelank die leiers in rugby.
Dertig jaar gelede het die All Blacks Suid-Afrika toe gekom en die eerste keer in die geskiedenis‘nreeks hier gewen. Vanjaar gaan hulle weer probeer indie viertoetse —drie in Suid-Afrika en een in Amerika.
Maar dis nie sodanig oor dierugby wat ek wil praat nie, maar wel oordie bekgevegtetussen ondersteuners wat reeds op sosiale media woed. Die gevegte woed nie tussen regte Nieu-Seelandersen Suid-Afrikaners, maar wel tussen Bokondersteuners en Suid-Afrikaners watdie AllBlacks ondersteun.
Hierdie is nie ‘n nuwe situasie nie, want histories het bruin en swart mense die All Blacks ondersteun om hul weersin in apartheid te wys. Onder daardie verwerplikebestel kon slegs wit spelers vir die Bokke speel en daarom was die situasie algemeen aanvaarbaar.Met die nuwe bestel kon bruin en swart spelers teoretiesvir die Bokke speel,maarbaie mense in rugby het ditsomoeilik as moontlikvir spelers van kleur gemaak om gekies te word. Daaroor dalk later meer
KOMONSGEBRUIKHIERDIE TOEROMMEKAARBETERTE VERSTAAN
Met die koms van Rassie Erasmus, blyk dit, het dit makliker gewordvir enigeen om vir die Bokke gekies te word en met SiyaKolisi die eersteswart kaptein, is nuwe ondersteunersook na die spelgelok. Wie kan ontken dat spelerssoosCheslin Kolbe en Ox Nche die beste in die wêreld is?
Selfs hierdie verwikkeling kon nie Saffa-ondersteunersvan die All Blacks oorreed om vir die Bokke te skree nie. Daarmee hetekvrede, wantsommige families ondersteunaldeur verskillende generasies die All Blacks. Waarmee ek wel ‘n probleem het, is dievenyn waarmee daar met mekaar verskil word.
Die internet is oor die algemeen nie ‘n plek vir rasionele debatvoering nie, maar wanneer daar oor rugby tussen die Springbokke en die All Blacks gepraat word, raak dit ‘n mooi gemors.Mensewat mekaar van geen kant af kennie, vloek mekaar uit. Dis rof.
En iewers onder al dierommel van ‘n gebrek aan internet-etiketlêdie wonderlike sport,rugby.
Ek het gehoor sokker is ons nasionale sport, maar ek weet vir‘nfeit datrugby die nasionale gemoed bepaal. Wen die Bokke, is almal gelukkig —van die kassier by die winkel tot die petroljoggie. Verloor hulle, kan‘nmens amper hoor hoeinflasie styg en alles duurder word. Alles is nie wel in ons landnie, maar wanneerdie Springbokke wen, dan vergeet onsbietjie van wat rondom ons aangaan. Dit bring my by die punt wat ek eintlik wil maak: kom ons gebruik hierdie toer om mekaar beter te verstaan. Rugbyis so ‘n lekker sport en is ‘n katalisator vir baie mooi dinge. Wanneer rugbyondersteuners, van verskillende spanne, goedig met mekaar spot,maakdit die spel nog lekkerder, maar wanneer hulle mekaar begin vloek en beledig, doen dit afbreuk aan die spel en dievrede watdit kanbring.
As jy nie die Bokke wilondersteun nie, is dit jou goeie reg, al is dit jammer

FEARFUL COMMUTER, Kensington
Waar is al dienuwe verkeersbeamptes?
Ek stem 100% saam met Besorgdevan Kraaifontein oor al die motorongelukke.
Ek sien dit daagliksopons paaie soos watdie motors deur rooiligte jaagenstopstrateignoreer Ek magverkeerdwees, maar die rede vir al die onverskilligheid is die afwesigheid vanverkeersmense op die paaie
Elkejaar word daar metgroot fanfareaangekondig hoeveel verkeersmanne/vrouenou gekwalifiseer het Maar waar sien ’n mens hulle?Miskien agter’nspoedkamera,maar nêrens elders nie Dis hoog tyddat hulle hul kantoreverlaat en die paaie patrolleer,dan saldaar miskien ’n verandering kom.

Exhibit showcases 70 year history
Anew immersive multimedia exhibition was launched this week at Stellenbosch University’s Tygerberg Campus in Parow, Cape Town, in celebration of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences' 70th anniversary
The exhibition in the Dean's Garden showcases seven decades of health sciences education, research and community impact, the university says. The interactive experience combines exhibition boards, audio guides, archival material, personal stories, and QR-linked digital content. It also highlights eight themes including clinical training, student community, alumni, facilities, visual redress, social impact and teaching and learning.
The exhibit was developed under the theme "Legacy through Impact" and honours those who shaped the faculty's journey while also reflecting on its evolution intoaworldclass, inclusiveand socially responsive institution, the university says.
"A faculty is not abuilding, it's not alogo, it's not a strategy document. Afaculty is agroup of people standing together with ashared purpose. For 70 years, that purpose has been clear: the health of people, the needs of patients, the well-being of the community, and the belief that knowledge, science, compassion and service can improve human lives. This exhibition is a tribute to every person who has carried that purpose forward," says Prof Elmi Muller, Dean of the faculty.
The exhibitwas officially
single moment, but this exhibitioncomesclose. It brings together the stories of thepeople, the research and the communities thathave shapedthisfaculty. It reminds us thateverymilestone we celebratewas earnedthrough dedication to something larger thanourselves. We hope it inspires everyone who walks throughit, whether they arestudents just beginning theirjourney or alumni who helped build what we have today,"saysDrFlorencede Vries, headofmarketing and communications at thefaculty. The exhibitionforms part of a broaderprogrammeofevents, showcases and engagements taking place across the anniversaryyear. The faculty hasbeen marking its 70th anniversarythroughout this year, celebrating its founding on 1May 1956 witha campaign thatspans short films, oral histories,digital content, and
