The City of Cape Town is once again racing to address sewer infrastructure failures along Montague Drive in Montague Gardens, after a new sinkhole was reported just weeks after another collapse was discovered in the area
Local ward councillor Anthony Benadie visited the site last week, meeting with contractors and City officials to discuss the latest incident He confirmed that
while previous sinkholes higher up the road had been fully repaired the latest issues were new and caused by the corrosion of ageing asbestos piping
“It is very important for the community to understand that this is not the same sinkhole as before,” Benadie pointed out
“These are new sinkholes that have developed over time The City can carry out point repairs only here at this stage, not a full reconstruction of the sewer line We urge residents to be patient, allow for extra travel time, and exercise caution
– Anthony Benadie
when driving in the area ” Due to the high risk of further collapse, a section of Montague Drive has been cordoned off, with traffic expected to be affected, particularly during peak hours SAFETYANDPROCUREMENTPROCESS
As TygerBurger reported last week, the City confirmed repairs on the latest sewer collapse cannot begin until all internal safety and procurement processes have been completed
The collapse occurred last month (July) when

Two Table View police officers were arrested on Sunday 10 August following allegations of corruption involving the illegal sale of commissioned blank affidavit forms
Provincial police spokesperson Col Andrè Traut confirmed to the newspaper a 41-year-old sergeant and a 31-yearold constable allegedly sold blank and commissioned affidavit forms to the public for R100 per statement
Such affidavits, when properly commissioned, serve as official sworn statements and should only be issued through legitimate processes
The issue came to light late last year when a signed and commissioned affidavit was found in a vehicle involved in a crime scene at Table View, sparking suspicion of

Upon arriving at the identified premises, officers searched a wendy-house on the property
Inside they discovered a backpack containing three firearms and ammunition of various calibres
A 35-year-old man was arrested on the scene and faces charges of unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.
He is expected to appear in the Goodwood Magistrates’ Court once formally charged
The Operation Restore team remains committed to removing illegal firearms from the streets in an effort to curb gun violence and protect the safety of communities.

The Table View policing precinct has recently seen an uptick in robbery cases, prompting local law enforcement to urge residents and commuters to exercise increased caution and awareness Station commander Col Tjikamba Mbangu, along with police spokesperson Capt Adriana Chandler, have emphasised the importance of community vigilance as a key factor in crime prevention
During an early-morning visibility operation Mbangu personally witnessed concerning behaviour among pedestrians, many walking while typing on their cellphones or wearing headphones
“These actions distract you from your
surroundings and provide criminals with an opportunity to snatch your phone or other valuables,” he pointed out Police warn that such distractions make individuals vulnerable to opportunistic crimes, especially in busy or less-secure areas In response to the rise in smashand-grab incidents, police have ramped up patrols and visibility, particularly in identified hotspot zones, such as Malibongwe Drive and Potsdam Road, during peak commuting hours These efforts have contributed to reducing incidents, but the community’s cooperation remains crucial Mbangu reiterated safety tips, urging drivers and pedestrians alike to take simple but effective precautions:
.Keep cellphones, handbags, laptops, and other valuables out of sight, preferably locked in one’s vehicle’s boot while driving
.Always keep vehicle doors locked and windows closed when stationary or in transit
.Stay alert and aware of your environment at all times, especially when in public spaces or commuting
Recognising the importance of educating the public, Table View police have extended an open invitation to the community for a crime awareness talk scheduled for tomorrow (Thursday 14 August ) at 11:00 at Church on The Rise, located on the corner of the R27 and Porterfield Road in Blouberg Rise

City gears up for a safer summer by wrapping up lifeguard assessments
The City of Cape Town concluded its seasonal lifeguard assessment programme with 290 candidates competing for a spot on the summer roster last week
The assessment process ensures that only the most capable, skilled and safetyconscious individuals are selected to serve the public during the upcoming summer season
Over the past two weeks, aspiring lifeguards have been put through their paces at various swimming pools across the city, including Blue Downs, Retreat and Long Street Swimming Pools
"These assessments are more than just fitness tests - it’s about public safety, life-saving skills and a commitment to community service We salute the nearly 300 young people who stepped up to serve their communities The assessment process ensures that only the most skilled and safety-conscious individuals are appointed to help keep our pools and beaches safe
“We encourage residents to swim only where lifeguards are present this summer We’re proud to invest in building a strong
team to help make our amenities safer for all," said Mayco member for community services and health, Francine Higham

THINKING OUT LOUD
Beekeeping: definitely
not a side hustle
Last summer, I fancied trying my hand at beekeeping
It wasn’t a random thought Almost everyone I knew had a side hustle, and my previous one, captioning for online streaming platforms, had been made redundant by AI, so I was on the lookout for something new But the idea first took hold when a swarm of bees unexpectedly took up residence in our wall
When life gives you bees, sell honey, I’d thought, but I quickly abandoned the idea, much to my husband’s relief That weekend I learned beekeeping isn’t a side hustle it’s a full-time job
The revelation began when my husband noticed a few bees buzzing around the air vent on our back wall
At first, we weren’t concerned There are always a few bees about, but eventually the vent began attracting an unusual amount of attention
the side of the house and captured it: hundreds of bees swarming like they were having a housewarming party
The sky had indeed turned black with bees
We later learned from the beekeeper that the first bees hubby had seen were scouts
A little incense might have prevented the rest from following Told him so!
That day, the house was abuzz literally and figuratively No bees made it inside, but their droning filled the air
By Monday, the buzzing had stopped
I wondered if they’d moved on, but the beekeeper arrived, opened the vent and revealed a hive the size of a large hat with hundreds of silent bees busily buzzing about their business
“Put some incense sticks in there,” I suggested Non-floral incense, we’d found, worked well to chase bees away With seven squeamish daughters most of them terrified of bees incense had saved us many a drama
Hubby ignored me, suspecting they’d already made a hive inside This became a later point of contention
I phoned a beekeeper, who didn’t come cheap He advised us to keep an eye on things and send him videos so he could assess the situation He’d come by on Monday if it got worse
It got worse
Sometime later, hubby went outside with his phone and returned shouting He’s not squeamish, but bees swarming are a freakish sight “I looked up and I just saw black,” he said
In his first attempt at filming, he got stung Undeterred, he tried again from
We’d caught them in time, he said We were lucky Removal only required taking off the vent
My youngest and I watched through the window as the beekeeper scooped the hive out by the handful and placed it into a box, loosely covered with a sheet
The trick, he explained, was catching the queen Once she was out, the workers high from the smoke he’d pumped inside would follow quietly Then he loaded the box into his car to take them away
A few foragers might return, he said, but they’d either leave or die
“Or just squirt them with Doom,” he added
Hubby posted the swarm videos on his status, and friends immediately began requesting honey I asked the beekeeper if we’d at least get any honey out of the ordeal
He cheekily replied, “If you want, next year I can come back and sell you the honey from your wall ”

Bravo aan diegene wat veg
teen bendedrywighede
Dit is met belangstelling en nuuskierigheid dat ek die bydraes onder "Kaap van bloed" in laasweek se TygerBurger gelees het
Ek haal my hoed af vir die bydraes en juig so luid ek kan vir die betrokkenheid en raad wat aangebied word
Ek kan nie anders as om in sommige gevalle te dink dat ons oplossings het vir simptome en nie vir oorsake nie
Ek is betrokke by sekuriteitsforums en doen aktiewe patrollies in die sakekern en woongebiede in my omgewing en het gereeld te doen met wetteloosheid (en soms ook met misdadigheid)
Ek is van die opinie dat as daar geen gevolge is vir oortredings nie, daar geen verandering sal wees nie
Dit is reg en prysenswaardig om met die jeug te werk, die kerke betrokke te kry asook al die organisasies wat bystand bied aan hawelose mense Ek is egter van die opinie dat hierdie aksies met die grensgevalle tussen wetsgehoorsaamheid en wetteloosheid werk en dat voorkoming beter is as genesing Maar die geharde
misdadiger, die leermeester van die diegene wat neig na misdadigheid, moet boet vir sy (of haar) dade en die gevolge dra van sy of haar aksies, om ook as afskrikmiddel vir die gretige leerders en volgers te dien
Die man in die straat (en diegene wat patrollies doen vir sekuriteitsforums) het geen magte nie; hulle is ten beste die "oë en ore" van die gemeenskap wat hulle dien
Ons moet meer verwag van ons plaaslike geregsdienaars en wetstoepassers om hulle magte te gebruik om behoorlike ondersoeke te doen en te verseker dat diegene wat hul tyd buite die reg deurbring, die prys betaal deur skuldigbevindings in howe en die pyn van misdadigheid aan hul bas te voel Dit vra egter die toewyding en samewerking van die vervolgingsgesag, die howe en korrektiewe dienste wat ooglopend nie tans in staat is om hul mandate te eerbiedig nie Weer eens, bravo! vir die wat alreeds hul beskeie deel bydra

Warm welcome at Durbanville’s Hennies
With our recent visit to family in Durbanville it was such a blessing to meet a friendly person in the form of the security guard when we visited Hennies on Friday afternoon
Not only were we greeted politely but we observed many times how he would keep vagrants away from where we sat outside and cars
He even, while we were still there, assisted an
elderly gentleman changing his flat tyre while many persons just walked past
Thank you for your friendly and considerate manner as it's very rare in your profession
I didn't get the chance to greet you or compliment your good behaviour but I will definitely pop in again soon

Spoedkameras in Brackenfell-boulevard
Gister ry ek uit Sonkring op pad na Haasendal en soos almal in Sonkring ondervind, is dit 'n nagmerrie om Brackenfell-boulevard te kruis
Hier was al vele ongelukke en selfs op die hoek van Groenewoud- en Cecil Morgan-strate is dit 'n nagmerrie om uit Sonkring te kom
Vele versoeke is al gerig om verkeersligte daar op te rig; verkeersbeamptes het al die motors kom tel of wat hulle ook al daar kom doen het en steeds val die versoeke op dowe ore En wragtig! Gister toe ek na 'n gesukkel die pad kruis, sien ek dat daar 200 meter verder spoedkameras opgesit word Nou vra ek, is die kruising van die twee uitgange nie belangriker as spoedkameras nie?
Ek hoop iemand kan dit asseblief vir my mooi verduidelik AMANDA,Brackenfell
