Recycling buyback centres must register now
The City of Cape Town advises all recycling buyback centres should register for accreditation before 31 July to avoid a fine Residents and businesses making use of buyback centres are also encouraged to check the accreditation status of facilities they use
Recycling buyback centres play a vital role in Cape Town’s circular economy
These are the businesses that buy recyclables from waste-pickers and recycling service providers, helping to keep valuable materials out of landfills while supporting informal and formal jobs across the city
ACCREDITATION
To ensure that these operations are safe, environmentally responsible and accountable, the City of Cape Town requires them to be accredited in terms of the integrated waste management by-law
Accreditation is a registration process that gives anyone who transports waste in Cape Town formal recognition by the City The registration and approval process ensures that recycling, sorting and waste recovery activities at private facilities that handle waste meet basic environmental and operational standards
The aim is to:
.Promote public health and environmental safety;
.Enable better oversight of waste flows;
.Support equitable and transparent
participation in the waste economy;
.Ensure facilities report how much waste they help divert from landfills
DATA
The data collected helps the City plan more effectively and to target support to grow the circular economy
The registration requirement applies to any person who undertakes a recycling, re-use, processing, treatment or recovery activity or who sorts waste, including scrap dealers, buyback centres and formalised recycling groups
GRACEPERIOD
The requirement to register has been in place for some time but the City is offering a grace period until 31 July to comply without facing penalties "The accreditation process is about building trust, improving standards, and working together for a cleaner, more sustainable Cape Town," said Grant Twigg, Mayco member for urban waste management
Facilities already accredited must regularly report on the volumes of waste they handle and how much is diverted from landfills, in line with their obligations

HelpCityreduce seweroverflows
The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Directorate is calling on residents to help reduce sewer overflows by insuring rainwater gutters are correctly connected.
Gutters should flow into stormwater drains and not the sewer system
During heavy rainfall, water ingress from gutters that are incorrectly connected can overwhelm the sewer network, leading to sewage overflows into streets, waterways and homes
This places strain on critical infrastructure, poses health risks, and impacts the environment
Sewer systems are designed to carry wastewater from homes, not rainwater from roofs
When these systems are overloaded with rainwater, they cannot cope and overflows occur
"We urge residents to check their gutter connections and redirect stormwater to the correct drains This simple action helps protect our communities, infrastructure and the environment,’" said the City’s Mayco member for water and sanitation, Zahid Badroodien
STORMWATER
Considering these safe and sustainable options for rainwater:
Redirect it into your garden: Allow
GUTTERS SHOULD FLOW INTO STORMWATER DRAINS AND NOT THE SEWER SYSTEM, CITY SAYS
channel or pipe to direct clean rainwater into the road, where it will flow into the stormwater system Only clean rainwater may enter stormwater drains - no greywater or wastewater
Collect and reuse it: Store rainwater in tanks for later use in your garden, which helps conserve water and reduce demand on the municipal supply
"If you discover that your property’s stormwater gutters are illegally connected to the sewer system, it is important to take action
Contact a registered plumber, qualified builder or reliable handyman to help correct the connection and ensure compliance with municipal by-laws," Badroodien said
The City’s wastewater and industrial effluent by-law states no person may allow the discharge of rainwater into the sewer system This is known as a crossconnection and often occurs on private properties, where rainwater from roofs, gutters or paved surfaces is incorrectly directed into sewer drains

ESME ERASMUS@NOVUSMEDIA CO ZA
Vir ‘n 56-jarige man wat sy been verloor het en as ‘n gevolg daarvan ook sy werk as plaaswerker, het die hulp van die projek ID Help soos manna uit die hemel gekom
Koos Minnaar van die plaas Kromrivier het sy identiteitsdokument (ID) op skool reeds verloor Dit was moeilik om ‘n dag by die werk af te neem om aansoek om ‘n nuwe een te doen, en hy kon daarom nie aansoek om werkloosheidsversekering of ‘n ongeskiktheidstoelae doen toe hy sy been verloor het nie ID Help is ‘n organisasie wat onder die sorg van die Durbanville Gemeenskap Trust ongedokumenteerde mense in Fisantekraal help om geboortesertifikate en ID’s te bekom
STAATSTOELAE
Minnaar het ID Help in 2022, nog voor hy sy been verloor het, genader en sy handgeskrewe geboorte-inskrywing is met groot moeite en tydsverloop opgespoor in ‘n geboorteregister van Richmond in die Noord-Kaap, wat in die Kaapse Argiewe gestoor was Met ‘n gesertifiseerde afskrif van die geboorte-inskrywing kon hy om ‘n geboortesertifikaat en toe ‘n ID aansoek doen Dié het
‘n Galakonsert ten bate van ID Help Fisantekraal word op by die Hoërskool Durbanville aangebied.
hy eindelik in Desember verlede jaar ontvang en kan hy nou ‘n staatstoelae vir sy ongeskiktheid ontvang, vertel Nelleke Meintjes, koördineerder van die ID Helpprojek in Fisantekraal
Minnaar is een van talle mense in Fisantekraal wat nie oor ‘n geldige ID beskik het nie “Baie het ID’s maar dit is so beskadig dat dit onbruikbaar is, of dit het weggeraak of dit kan nie uitgereik word nie omdat die persoon se geboorte nog nie geregistreer is nie,” sê Meintjes
DNS-TOETSE
Sedert Januarie 2023 tot einde April vanjaar is 388 ID-aansoeke ingedien; 78 aansoeke is ingedien vir laat registrasie van geboorte, waarvan 51 suksesvol afgehandel is; 16 DNS-toetse is laat doen; 28 moeilike skoolplasings is gefinaliseer; 20 babas jonger as ‘n jaar se geboortes is geregistreer; 980 passasiers is vervoer en meer as 10 513 km is deur vrywilligers gery In 2024 alleen het die koste van die projek R69 542 beloop
Die enigste bron van inkomste vir ID Help Fisantekraal is donasies, borgskappe en
fondsinsamelingsprojekte
GALAKONSERT
‘n Galakonsert ten bate van ID Help Fisantekraal word op Sondag 3 Augustus vanaf 15:00 in die ouditorium van die Hoërskool Durbanville aangebied
Die program is saamgestel deur Hester Smit, met topkunstenaars uit die noordelike voorstede
Dit beloof om iets vir almal te bied - van gewilde uittreksels uit operas, musiekblyspele, klassieke en ligte musiek, tot koorsang, instrumentale ensemble en Spaanse danse Kaartjies teen R200 elk (ligte verversings ingesluit) is by Webtickets of by Pick n Pay-winkels beskikbaar
“ID Help Fisantekraal fokus op die mense van Fisantekraal en omliggende plase, waar hoë vlakke van armoede, werkloosheid, sosiale onstabiliteit en lae vlakke van akademiese onderrig bydra tot die wydverspreide gebrek aan dokumentasie
“In hierdie konteks word die projek meer as net ‘n administratiewe diens; dit is ‘n instrument vir sosiale geregtigheid, bemagtiging en transformasie,” sê Meintjes
“Buiten die vervanging van verlore of beskadigde ID’s is daar baie gevalle waar geboortesertifikate ontbreek, wat ‘n voorvereiste is om vir ‘n ID aansoek te doen
Laatgeboorteregistrasies moet dan gedoen word Daar is selfs gevalle van geboortes wat binne ‘n familie oor generasies heen
nie geregistreer is nie, waar laatgeboorteregistrasies van die oudste tot die jongste dan gedoen moet word - ‘n langsame, moeilike en arbeidsintensiewe proses,” sê sy
ONSIGBAAR
Francois Berry, raadslid vir Wyk 105, wat Fisantekraal insluit, sê hy ondersteun die projek
“Hierdie projek bied lewensveranderende hulp aan individue – veral diegene uit benadeelde en landelike agtergronde, wat nie geboortesertifikate of Suid-Afrikaanse ID’s het nie Daarsonder bly hulle onsigbaar in die oë van die staat en is hulle nie in staat om toegang te verkry tot die fundamentele regte en dienste wat menswaardigheid en ontwikkeling ondersteun nie,” sê hy ID Help Fisantekraal help ook ouers om skoolpligtige kinders wat nog nie skool bywoon nie, in te skryf en bied só die volgende generasie ‘n kans op ‘n beter toekoms Hulle staan ook mense by met die proses om verlore of beskadigde huweliks- en doodsertifikate te vervang “Deur hierdie ongedokumenteerde individue te help met die dikwels komplekse proses om wettige dokumentasie te bekom, herstel die projek nie net persoonlike agentskap en erkenning nie, maar maak dit ook die deur oop vir ‘n wye reeks geleenthede, soos toegang tot werk, onderwys, gesondheidsorg,
maatskaplike toelaes, behuising, finansiële dienste en die reg om te stem,” sê Berry
PRAKTIESEIMPAK
“Die ID Help Fisantekraalprojek het ‘n model van praktiese impak en gemeenskapsopheffing gedemonstreer Ek ondersteun die voortsetting en uitbreiding van hierdie projek heelhartig Dit is ‘n bewys van wat bereik kan word wanneer gemeenskapsgedrewe pogings met deernis, samewerking en toewyding begroet word Dit gaan nie net daaroor om mense te help om ID’s te kry nie; dit gaan daaroor om hulle te help om hul plek in die samelewing terug te eis,” sê hy
KONSULTASIES
ID Help Fisantekraal doen persoonlike konsultasies op Woensdae vanaf 13:00 tot 16:30
Die projek is verder afhanklik van vrywilligers wat hoofsaaklik van hul huise af werk om met hospitale en skole te skakel om inligting op te spoor Hul bystand behels ook laat geboorteregistrasies, die reël van DNS-toetse as geen bewys van geboorte gevind kan word nie, die vervoer van kliënte, asook hulp aan ouers met moeilike skoolplasings van kinders sonder geboortesertifikate . Kontak Jan Burger,‘n vrywilliger, om by te dra, asook met bydraes van rekenaars, drukkers, Wi-Fi en kantoortoerusting by 082 881 1503. Besoek www.idhelp co.za vir meer inligting.
Desperate mense staan in lang toue en wag op een van die dae wat die mobiele eenheid van die departement binnelandse sake
Fisantekraal besoek het
Koos Minnaar van die plaas Kromrivier naby Klipheuwel is hier saam met sy dogter, Jessica
For a few hours two men from completely different backgrounds and circumstances shared beers, talked, cheered as they both have an equal love for the game
It can be done There is the proof We don't have to live in silos
Hundreds of soup kitchens were birthed during the Covid-19 pandemic and are still active today Dare I say the kitchens are even more needed today than they were five years ago
It's always heartwarming to see how ordinary South Africans show up for each other
This while our political landscape seems to be crumbling as leaders fight for power at our expense
As we approach Mandela Day, let us be reminded that it is the small acts of kindness that can brighten someone's day
The high cost of living affects all of us From fuel and electricity hikes to soaring food prices and rental costs, the pressure on households, especially low-income and vulnerable communities has never been greater
You need only to drive through the traffic lights or enter a supermarket to see the number of people asking for a rand or two to get some food Basic needs that were once manageable are now becoming unaffordable for many, forcing people to make impossible choices between shelter, food, healthcare, and dignity
This economic reality has had a particularly harsh impact on those already living on the margins, including those living on the street
As a nation, we face many challenges but when it comes to showing up for one another, we stand united This is what makes us unique This is what binds us May we never lose sight of that -KAYLYNNEBANTOM

Ministers Forum prays for peace
We, the Mitchells Plain Rebuild Ministers Forum, hereby want to let the government know, as you address the current outbreak of gang-related murders that is taking place in Mitchell's Plain, that we are praying for you to do all that's needed to restore and maintain peace and order in our community
According to Romans 13:1-5 - God has appointed you to the task of bringing terror upon those who do wrong
We are praying for God to protect you as you courageously, without fear or favour, enforce law and order on the perpetrators of violence
"Romans 13:1-3“ - The authorities that exist have been established by God
Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgement on themselves
For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong “
This appeal to the government to maintain law and order is especially given in light of the Impact pilot projects that are taking place from 7 to 11 July, in the Portland and Westridge sectors We are persuaded that it can't be a coincidence that these Two Trauma Informed Holiday Clubs (TIHC) will take place in what has overnight become a red zone
We choose to believe that these traumatising incidents are taking place in Mitchell's Plain, not only to draw ongoing attention to the scourge of gangsterism but more so to draw attention to this new intervention that was birthed to stop gang-related violence
Several of these incidents of violent murders took place within proximity to the venues where the TIHC's will be hosted
The purpose for hosting these TIHC's is to prevent and reduce harm in children by providing safe spaces for them during holidays and after school
These ambitious interventions form part of the Mitchell's Plain Integrated Community Safety Strategy This strategic plan initiated by the Mitchell's Plain Community Police Forum (CPF) was designed through a process of inclusive dialogues with a broad range of Mitchell's Plain stakeholders which included - Epic Evolve NPO, Impact, Mitchell's Plain Neighbourhood Watch, Department Of Health, M PRebuild M F
The purpose statements of this initiative are as follows:
Vision - We exist to see an empowered and resilient community in Mitchells Plain free from the influence of gangsterism
Mission - To implement a sustainable safety strate-
gy through prevention, intervention and suppression, uniting government, community organisations, religious institutions schools and local businesses
As civil society, led by God, we are making a renewed commitment, through prevention (TIHC's, reading clubs, etc) and restoration (drug recovery programmes etc ) interventions, to turn the tide on gangsterism and the lifestyle of violence and the related criminality it breeds
This communication is in respectful acknowledgement that you are the stakeholder, in Mitchells Plain, appointed by God Himself (Romans 13:1-5) to suppress wrongdoing
In light of this multi- stakeholder Strategic Plan, we appeal to and encourage the police, which is governments law enforcement agency, to now especially bring to bear your mandate to enforce law and order by suppressing all gang related-activities within a 1 km radius around these two TIHC's
Your efforts will ensure that the prevention and restoration efforts currently afoot in Mitchell's Plain, will not be frustrated by the gang-related violence
Like you, we are fully aware that the planners and perpetrators of the current outbreak of violence are using these murders to take over and control territory through fear Scientific evidence proves that terrors of fear cause tremendous harm to the communities and especially to children growing up in such an environment Bold interventions from the police to suppress this outbreak of violence can help to interrupt the cycles of trauma that our community and especially the children are experiencing
Our parents and guardians must see the police bringing terror upon those who are harming our community and its children They must no longer be left to feel isolated and powerless Cancelling the holiday clubs or pressuring parents to withhold their children from attending, will only further the lie that as a community, with a well-resourced Law Enforcement Agency, we are still powerless to stop violent gang related criminality
As Rebuild we appeal to all of our community stakeholders, especially the police, to use this crisis as a moment, engineered by God Himself, to show both victims and perpetrators that we are a community that's taking back our right to peace - for the sake of the healthy development of our children
As a forum we look forward to engaging the government with regards to this correspondence
BISHOP MARK BLOEMSTEIN, Chair of Mitchells Plain Rebuild Ministers Forum
Haweloses raak nou ‘n groot probleem
Ek is uiters besorg oor die toename van haweloses wat hulself oral op die reserwegrond langs die N1-snelweg, maar veral tussen Plattekloofweg en Durbanweg, vestig Ek het hierdie kommerwekkende situasie al verskeie kere onder die aandag van die distriksingeneur van paaie in die Paarl gebring, maar klaarblyklik het my versoek op dowe ore geval
Hierdie toedrag van sake is absoluut onaanvaarbaar en ek doen dus 'n ernstige beroep op die provinsiale regering om asseblief hierdie mense na 'n meer geskikte plek te verskuif
Ek vind dit ook erg onmenslik dat mense in hierdie koue wintertoestande in oop ruimtes moet slaap Ek sal my ook na die sosialemedia-platforms wend indien dit nodig word

Ek is nou al bietjie ouer as aftreeouderdom Volgens my berekening was almal wat nou daar is, lank voor 1994 op skool - die dae toe daar nog liggaamlike opvoeding op skool deur spesiaal opgeleide onderwysers aangebied is Ons het daarna as L O verwys
Deesdae staan L O vir lewensoriëntering en kinders doen nie meer gimnastiek soos in die ou dae nie Maar as jy nou al anderkant 60 trek, wat is jou opsies? Dalk speel jy gholf of tennis?
Dalk stap jy - alleen of saam met iemand, of in 'n stapgroep?
Dalk bied jou mediese fonds jou toegang tot goed toegeruste binnenshuise gimnasiums waar jy saam met Jan Alleman op die apparate of in 'n klas deelneem?
Hoe dit ookal sy, hoe soek jy vir jou ouderdomsgenote wat fiks wil bly?

With Cape Town shivering under the weight of a fierce winter assault, the SPCA is appealing to all pet owners to bring their pets indoors wherever possible.
"Even a garage or covered stoep can make all the difference
Ensure outdoor kennels are waterproof, insulated and raised off the ground, urges Belinda Abraham, spokesperson for the Cape of Good Hope SPCA
EMERGENCYTEAMS
"For some animals in the city, especially those in lowlying informal settlements, cold weather has translated into a harsh reality of flooded roads, sodden bedding, cold, misery and fear," she says
"At this stage, the City has not activated a Joint Operations Centre (JOC) However, should this occur, the SPCA’s trained first responders will serve on the JOC to represent animal welfare alongside emergency teams including local law enforcement, disaster management, the fire department and traffic services
“This ensures animal welfare is fully integrated into coordinated emergency planning and that our response remains rapid and effective where it’s needed most
"Working in close liaison with the City of Cape Town’s disaster risk management centre, our inspectors have their finger on the pulse of every red alert
WARM
BLANKETS,
TOWELS, DOG AND CAT FOOD URGENTLY NEEDED
“This partnership has allowed us to act quickly in high-risk areas - relocating farm animals to higher ground, walking flooded paths to reach animals shivering in inadequate shelters, and bringing some in for safekeeping when no other immediate remedy is available," she says
TIPSFORPETOWNERS
. Check bedding daily - it must be clean and dry Wet bedding leaches body heat and can lead to hypothermia, illness and preventable death
. Provide food and clean water in sheltered areas
. Provide windproof shelter for farm animals and horses
. Ensure hay or feed is stored off the ground and kept dry
Animals require more food in colder weather to maintain body temperature
. Check and top up water troughs regularly - rain can dilute or contaminate water and freezing temperatures can cause troughs to ice over
. Inspect fences and gates for damage caused by wind or water, especially electric fencing which may short out in wet conditions
. Remove excess mud and manure from around shelters or feeding areas to reduce the risk of hoof rot and other infections
The SPCA is calling on the public to stay vigilant and report any animals in distress
URGENTITEMSNEEDED
The Cape of Good Hope SPCA is calling on the public to urgently donate warm blankets and towels, as well as dog and cat food (dry or wet)
“Our community’s kindness has always been the difference between suffering and safety for Cape Town’s animals,” adds Abraham
“We’re asking everyone who can to help us with donations of towels, blankets and dry and wet cat and dog food ”
. Donations can be delivered to Cape of Good Hope SPCA in Grassy Park or to arrange large donations, contact the SPCA on 021 700 4140/4141/4158 or info@capespca.co.za. Animals in distress can also be reported to these numbers.
Dogs are being taken in by inspectors of Cape of Good Hope SPCA for safe-keeping during adverse weather conditions.
