PROGRAMME LAUNCHED AT WESTRIDGE GARDENS
Public health rewards pilot
A
programme that rewards public healthcare users for making healthier choices was launched at Westridge Gardens over the weekend. The pilot programme which incentivises activities that promotes health, accessing care and preventing illness, was launched on Saturday 10 October. MEC of Health and Wellness Mireille Wenger said the programme was the first of its kind in South Africa and emulated systems used by many private medical schemes. “Prevention is better than cure, but making healthy choices is not always easy. Through WOW Rewards, we want to give people

a little extra encouragement to take steps that can make a lasting difference to their health,” said Wenger. Who can take part The pilot is open to Mitchells Plain residents who use public healthcare facilities and are 18 and older. The programme will expand to Knysna in early 2027. The aim is to enrol up to 2 000 active participants across both locations to test the programme in city and rural settings. How the rewards work Participants can earn up to R100 worth of rewards every month for completing approved activities relevant to their circumstances. These include: Booking pregnancy care before 20 weeks and attending scheduled visits; Taking part in approved community exercise sessions and recognised parkrun events; Taking part in weight monitoring; Keeping children's routine vaccinations up to date; Collecting regular medication for long-term conditions on time; Completing short learning modules on pregnancy and caring for a newborn. Once an activity has been verified, the reward will be issued through the Zlto digital platform. WOWRewards builds on the community networks of Western Cape on Wellness (WOW), working with Zlto and local partners to help residents

prevalence of chronic diseases in people, improves one's mental well-being and reduces weight. All of which significantly improve one's quality of life,” said Kariem. Wenger said the programme is a pilot and the department will learn as it goes.”Over time, we want to understand whether these rewards help people build
and sustain healthier habits. That evidence will guide how we improve the programme and whether it can be expanded,” said Wenger. By supporting small, consistent steps towards better health, WOWRewards aims to make prevention part of everyday life and help residents make their healthy choices count.

Record fuel price increases have highlighted South Africa’s heavy dependence on road freight and liquid fuels, and the need to fix freight rail and explore alternatives such as battery-powered vehicles.
Fuel prices force a rethink of road freight dependence
R
ecord fuel price increases have highlighted South Africa’s heavy dependence on road freight and liquid fuels, and the need to fix freight rail and explore alternatives such as battery-powered vehicles. That is the view of the Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Road Freight Association (RFA), which last week issued stark warnings after record fuel price increases. Wholesale diesel increases, to more than R32.00 per litre at the coast and R33.20 inland, are indications that the price may rise further before the end of the year.
FREIGHT OPERATORS WEIGH OPTIONS RFA CEO Gavin Kelly says the price increase could push transporters to make operational changes. “It is safe to say that any transporter will look at fuel consumption (the only ‘real’ method to cut fuel costs), and this could result in various options being considered: different types of vehicles used, different operating hours (eg less congestion), different routes, different loading and offloading scheduling, driver behaviour, and a move to battery electric vehicles.” PRESSURE ON FRUIT EXPORTERS Terry Gale, chairperson of the Cape Chamber’s Product Business Environment Portfolio Committee, said the increase came at a critical time for local exporters. “As the deciduous fruit season starts within the next two months and the first grape exports begin within weeks farmers face immense difficulty calculating cost-tomarket in an ever-changing landscape.” Gale said the increase in diesel prices will ultimately affect everyone, as most of the goods are moved by road in South Africa. Transporters are forced to add fuel surcharges — extra fees to cover rising fuel costs — that can add 50% or more to their standard rates, and these fluctuate monthly. “South Africa currently has no active refineries to absorb these cost increases, leaving us exposed to international supply shocks despite sourcing fuel from nonMiddle Eastern markets.” CALL FOR RETURN TO RAIL Gale says these supply chain pressures reinforce why the Department of Transport is advocating for a return to rail to connect key industrial areas and freight routes — including Durban, Ngqura and Cape Town — directly to Gauteng. Cape Chamber CEO John Lawson said the fuel crisis could refocus attention on finding road freight solutions. “Because rail is not working, it means we have more trucks on the road than we need to have to transport goods. The increased fuel cost means that all our input costs will increase, and it also adds a cost in terms of road maintenance. “What this all means, however, is that we need to focus on solutions. Rather than wait for the next increase, we need to
“we need to become more resilient and less dependent” - John Lawson become more resilient and less dependent on particularly diesel.” FURTHER INCREASES LIKELY Kelly said pressure on supply chains was likely to intensify. “Unfortunately it is difficult to completely rule out further fuel price increases; already there are indicators that South Africa is heading towards further fuel price increases in November, should the tensions in the Middle East not be resolved. The ongoing geopolitical tension and the surge in risk, coupled with the supply and demand factor, adaptability will continue to be vital for South Africa’s freight sector. “Transport companies’ strategies for navigating this increasingly unstable operating environment will continue to be shaped by limiting fuel use, enhancing operational efficiency, and preparing for unpredictability.” “One thing is certain: In a country that is dependent on road freight, such as South Africa, every adjustment in the price of diesel has consequences extending past the petrol pump; it goes deep into the transport systems that keep the country running.” Kelly said logistics companies were trying to reduce costs through operational adjustments. He said the freight sector also held serious concerns about illegal fuel blending and dirty diesel entering commercial supply chains to undercut legitimate operators. POOR HOUSEHOLDS HIT HARDEST Dr Adrian Strydom, executive director of the South African Oil and Gas Alliance (SAOGA) and Cape Chamber Council member, said the impact on low-income households and the country’s energy security was a major concern. “Energy security is an important issue for South Africa, as an escalation in the fuel price will have a far-reaching effect on our economy. Transportation and manufacturing costs are particularly vulnerable, and everyone will feel the pinch.” “A sharp rise in fuel costs hits the poorest of the poor hardest through higher food prices and potential job losses. This underscores why South Africa must explore local oil and gas resources rather than spending billions annually on foreign imports while missing out on domesticemployment creation.” Business stakeholders have urged government to consider measures to cushion economic sectors from international price shocks while accelerating rail and energy infrastructure reforms to keep national supply chains running.

Officials sent to investigate Schaapkraal drug house T
he Department of Land Reform and Rural Development was sending officials to investigate a house in Punt Road, Schaapkraal, which residents said was being used for drug dealing. The department’s Acting Chief Director Nyameko Mgoqi confirmed the move in a message to Strandfontein ward councillor Elton Jansen. Jansen shared the message in an update to residents on his WhatsApp channel. It read: “The Office is dispatching officials to conduct an investigation and provide recommendations. Lastly, I will check with our management team regarding a follow-up engagement.” CITY INSPECTORS CALLED IN Jansen said he had reported the house as a problem building with the City’s Safety and Security Directorate. He asked the City’s building inspectors to investigate and declare the building unsafe for people to live in. This would put pressure on the property owner, which is the Department of Land Reform and Rural Development. “I will keep you posted on developments on this ongoing matter,” said Jansen on
his WhatsApp channel. BACKGROUND The house at 57 Punt Road sits close to the boundary between Philippi and Strandfontein. Residents have linked it to drug dealing, drug use, gang activity and shootings in the area. Jansen started a petition on 23 July calling for the occupants to be evicted and the house to be demolished. It gathered more than 1 000 signatures within hours and peaked at about 1 300. The property is on the Department of Land Reform and Rural Development’s asset register, which means it is owned by the government. However, the people living there claim they have the right to stay. A meeting on 5 August brought together Jansen, department officials including Mgoqi, Kay September and Andre Booysen, and community representatives. The department asked for three weeks to investigate and a follow-up meeting was set for the first week of September. Police have carried out several raids on the property. The City previously dealt with it through its problem-building process, but no lasting solution was found.

Strandfontein has been named as a pilot Blue Flag beach while several others have retained their status. Eight Cape Town beaches have received the international recognition ahead of summer. The announcement was made at the annual Blue Flag and Green Coast Awards ceremony at Grotto Blue Flag Beach in Hermanus on Thursday 8 October. Cape Town has maintained its 25-year
track record of participating in the international Blue Flag programme, with eight of its beaches achieving full status for the fifth consecutive season. Four additional beaches have been selected as pilot sites. The eight beaches awarded full Blue Flag status are Bikini Beach, Camps Bay Beach, Clifton 4th Beach, Fish Hoek Beach, Llandudno Beach, Melkbosstrand, Muizenberg Beach and Silwerstroomstrand.
WESSA regognises 62 Blue Flags and 19 Green Coast sites.

Strandfontein, Big Bay, Chapman’s Peak in Hout Bay and Strandhave been named pilot sites. The Blue Flag is an internationally recognised environmental certification programme operating in more than 50 countries. Beaches are assessed against strict criteria covering water quality, environmental education and management, safety, accessibility and public amenities. A pilot site enters a feasibility period during which its ability to meet the programme’s international requirements is assessed. In South Africa, the programme is facilitated by the Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa (WESSA), which has co-ordinated Blue Flag since its introduction locally in 2001. WESSA celebrates its centenary this year. The programme’s continued presence in Cape Town reflects the City’s ongoing coastal management efforts.Blue Flag status provides residents and visitors with an internationally recognised indication that a beach is managed according to demanding standards for water quality, safety, environmental care and public facilities.

Learners honoured at Civic Pride Awards LAUREN O’CONNOR-MAY LAUREN.OCONNOR-MAY@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA
F
ive Glendale Secondary School learners have been recognised at the Mayor’s Civic Pride Awards for their work as Peer Educators supporting fellow learners and the broader community. The awards handover took place at the school on Wednesday 7 October. Grade 10 learner Lyle Le Keur and Grade 11 learners Kieran Aloile, Damian Jaftha, Joshlin Fredericks and Kyla Smith received certificates of recognition. They were nominated a teacher at the school, who wrote to Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis describing the group’s dedication and leadership. FUTURE ROLE MODELS In her nomination letter, the teacher said the learners “are not only hardworking but also

highly respectful and consistently demonstrate true leadership qualities.” As Peer Educators, the five learners provide emotional and social support to fellow learners and help raise awareness of the challenges facing young people. Their focus areas include antibullying, teenage pregnancy prevention, and positive mental health and well-being. Their support also extends to educators and support staff. They organise wellness activities that promote self-care, positivity and emotional well-being throughout the school. Throughout the year, the Peer Educators have taken part in and supported several awareness programmes, such as literacy events, anti-bullying awareness,
PRACTICAL ACTION The group recently introduced a monthly Saturday clean-up of the school grounds. They are also working on transforming the school sick bay into a calming, welcoming space where sick learners could feel safe and cared for. They have started a peer support group, training fellow learners to support classmates going through difficult times. The teacher wrote that the learners’ work is “a powerful reminder that young people can be true agents of positive change when they are given a voice and the opportunity to lead.” The five learners are also involved in a range of extramural activities, including Russian classes, coding and robotics, drilling, rugby and cross country.
Subcouncil 17 chair Elton Jansen handed out the Civic Pride Awards to Kyla Smith, Joshlin Frericks, Damian Jaftha, Keiran Aloile and Kyle Le Keur. On the far right is Nigel Williams.
The school was also given R4 000. From left are Elton Jansen, Kyla Smith, Glendale principal Fowkia Smith, Kyle Le Keur, Joshlin Frericks, Damian Jaftha, Keiran Aloile and Nigel Williams.
One of the group recently entered the Mitchells Plain Talent Search and reached the top 10. A SENSE OF PRIDE At the ceremony, a peer educator said the group’s motto is to work together in unity and encouraged everyone to support those around them. Elton Jansen, who serves as a ward councillor and subcouncil chair, presented the certificates on behalf of the mayor. He said the mayor started the civic pride awards to acknowledge the good work learners are doing. “When I drove in here, I had a sense of pride,” he said. He spoke about growing up and shared how his mother worked hard to provide for the family because of an absent father. He encouraged learners not to let their circumstances determine their future. “Don’t give up with people. Don’t give up with life
challenges,” Jansen said. “Remember, you are all winners.” School principal, Fowkia Smith, said the awards were about more than recognition and celebration. She spoke about the challenges facing learners, including substance abuse, poverty and violence, and said these challenges could not be ignored. She urged learners to see education as more than just passing exams. Education should also teach learners how to work with others, solve problems, communicate, lead and serve.”Never underestimate the influence that you have on those around you,” she said. She reminded learners that their recognition was not the end of their journey. “Your achievement today is not the end of your journey. It’s an invitation to do even more,” she said. “Continue to serve. Continue to make good choices.”

How the NSRI prepares for El Niño KAILIN DANIELS
T
HIGHER TEMPERATURES BRING BIGGER FIRE RISKS
KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA
he National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) is preparing for a potentially challenging summer, with higher temperatures, increased fire risk and pressure on water resources among the concerns facing the Western Cape. The strengthening El Niño climate cycle could add to seasonal pressures, prompting the organisation to consider how changing weather conditions may affect rescue operations, vessel maintenance and water safety. NSRI head of operations Charl Maritz said the current outlook was being incorporated into summer-readiness planning, particularly following discussions with provincial disaster management officials in the Western Cape. PREPARING FOR INCREASED WATER ACTIVITY Hotter weather is expected to draw more people to beaches, swimming pools, rivers and dams, potentially increasing the demand for rescue services and raising the risk of drowning. NSRI stations are preparing for a potentially busier drowning-inprogress season, with readiness checks covering crew and vessel availability, pre-season maintenance, coordination with lifeguarding services and drowning-prevention awareness. The organisation is also strengthening its ability to
respond to unpredictable weather events. In July, NSRI volunteers and operational personnel completed specialist swiftwater rescue training to improve their ability to operate in fast-moving water. The training forms part of broader preparations as rescue teams face calls to assist during inland flooding and other emergencies. WATER SECURITY Water security is another concern, with Western Cape dam levels reported in late August to be 5% lower than at the same time last year. NSRI head of fleet and facilities Graeme Harding said the organisation needed fresh water to maintain its rescue vessels and equipment. “It has a dire effect on us. We have to wash and flush boats every time they’re used to ensure they stay in top shape.” Crews returning from demanding rescues also need water to shower and clean their personal protective equipment. To reduce pressure on municipal supplies, newer NSRI stations incorporate rainwaterharvesting tanks, while some facilities already have wellpoints or boreholes.
The organisation is also investigating the feasibility of installing boreholes at other strategic bases. Operational teams are reviewing water-conscious procedures, including engine flushing, while ensuring conservation measures do not compromise vessel safety or mechanical readiness. DROWNING PREVENTION REMAINS A PRIORITY NSRI community programmes
manager Mthe Kweyama said hotter conditions could lead to more families and children seeking relief at swimming spots, placing additional pressure on lifeguards and increasing drowning risks. The organisation plans to adapt its water-safety messaging to reflect the conditions expected this summer while continuing to promote safe behaviour around water. Maritz said climate-related considerations were increasingly becoming “standing planning considerations rather than onceoff items”. The NSRI's preparations include managing water supplies
at rescue stations, protecting crews working in extreme heat, anticipating changes in recreational water use and ensuring rescue resources are ready when needed. Although conditions over the coming months remain uncertain, the organisation is focusing on early preparation to help protect its crews and the public throughout the summer season. For more information about the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI), its rescue services, water safety initiatives, volunteer opportunities and how the public can support its lifesaving work, visit www.nsri.org.za.
NSRI crews are strengthening their summer readiness as hotter weather is expected to draw more people to beaches, rivers, dams and swimming pools.

THINKING OUT LOUD
SLICE OF LIFE
Another cascade of calamities is testing my fortitude and confidence to take on life “Most things I worry about never happen anyway” – quote from the late Tom Petty. The swift and sudden hand of fate and unpredictability of the future can disrupt our lives and shake our foundations. We can find that our morals or beliefs can start to slowly decay when tragedy strikes and we find ourselves questioning our sense of peace and even abandoning our faith by focusing on the problems we face. Every year brings uncertainty and optimism, but 2026 in particular will be remembered as one of the toughest years of my life. And mind you, I’ve lost all my grandparents whilst battling to accept my mother’s cancer diagnosis all in one year during 2016. The years before 2016, I struggled with panic attacks to the point where I struggled to finish a meal, sit inside a classroom or even fall asleep. During those painful years I was paralysed by anxiety, I wondered and asked “why was this happening to me?” It was as if my shadow was taking control of my body and my thoughts were slowly sliding down the drain. But once I decided to “rescue myself” and with the aid of music, family, faith and therapy, I made the decision to crack this simulation of fear I was under. I decided to put myself in uncomfortable situations and feel comfortable in them by facing my fear and humming a mantra that I’ll be alright and no panic would petrify me when I sat inside those lecture rooms I dreaded as a student. After consistent practise of this method, which included growling like a lion in front of the mirror, I managed to cope and later thrive with a newfound confidence. I was ready to tackle any challenge that came my way. And now a decade later, I witnessed

I PRAY WE KEEP OUR EYES ON THE WINDSHIELD AND NOT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR ...

another cascade of calamities which included surviving a car accident, escaping a dangerous fall at a roller-rink and seeing the threat of retrenchments that has swept various nations and sectors with hardly any moments to catch our breath. With the surge in Artificial Intelligence (AI) innovation and the constant blockade at the Strait of Hormuz, our realities are being warped before our eyes, and the “glory days” are seemingly fading like long-forgotten songs. The non-stop rise in petrol prices, inflation and the skyrocketing price of goods is a hard pill to swallow for everyone and bears so much consequences that we struggle to fully grasp. I can only imagine how the uncertain economic climate has affected young parents paying school fees or caring for their newborns which could all be even more difficult to manage with all the setbacks we face in our lives. If we’re not careful we could become a shell of our former selves and even appear unrecognisable to ourselves and our loved ones. But I find it’s at the most challenging times that we must rediscover our character, our tenacity and resilience in adversity. After I emerged from that swamp of anxiety that covered me in 2016, the lesson I learnt was that this experience has taught me how to remain calm under pressure and embrace the unpredictable nature of the future. I think the word that captures this definition is equanimity. Despite my thoughts of wondering whether my dad and I would lose our home, I decided to focus on what I could control and remember I’ve had my back against the ropes countless times and knocked out these obstacles like Mohammed Ali doing his iconic “rope-a-dope” technique. And now those fears that petrified me had not materialised and a new and exciting chapter awaits me. However, I have not arrived at this sense of peace by myself this year, it was a collective effort formed by my family, friends, my partner, colleagues and faith in God. So despite these treacherous waters we navigate like Odysseus trying to return home to his wife and children. I pray we keep our eyes on the windshield and not the rear view mirror as we ride on the road of life. As the poet Tom Waits said: “Don’t plant your bad days. They grow into weeks. The weeks grow into months. Before you know it, you got yourself a bad year. Take it from me – choke those little bad days. Choke ‘em down to nothing.” - KEANAN HARMSE
WHALE TAIL: The West Coast is renowned for its annual gathering of humpback whales, with well over a thousand individuals visiting the area each year. When reports emerged of early activity near Dassen Island, a calm, sunny day provided the perfect opportunity for a pre-season expedition to explore these remarkable waters.

Noise pollution is ruining our peace Trolleys left out in I am writing to express my concern about the growing problem of noise pollution. While I understand that people want to enjoy themselves in their homes, there should be a limit to how much noise neighbours are expected to tolerate. Over weekends, residents are often forced to listen to loud music, shouting and parties that continue late into the night. For families with young children, shift workers and elderly residents, this can become extremely frustrating. Everyone has the right to enjoy their home, but that right should not come at the expense of someone else's peace. A little consideration can go a long way towards preventing unnecessary conflict. What makes the situation worse is that some
residents are reluctant to complain because they fear creating tension or damaging relationships with people who live nearby. We need to encourage a culture of respect and responsible behaviour in our communities. Residents should be mindful of noise levels, particularly during the evening and early morning hours. If you are hosting a gathering, let your neighbours know beforehand and turn down the volume at a reasonable time. These small gestures can prevent many disputes. Living in a community means sharing space with others. Respect should be a basic part of that arrangement. - Susan, BOTHASIG
Desalination: Promises without progress? I read Ben Groenewald’s letter in the TygerBurger of 30 September with great interest. I was pleased to realise that someone else is also concerned about the lack of progress with desalination to ensure long-term water security for Cape Town and the Western Cape. During and immediately after the last severe drought, when “Day Zero” predictions were being made, the authorities announced various plans to ensure water security, including desalination. We were satisfied that our leaders would follow through on their promises. Unfortunately, it seems that the good years that followed made them complacent. Nothing appears to have been done to lessen the impact of the next dry period, which, by all accounts, we may once again be facing this summer.
The authorities are silent about the progress of the plans they put forward. It is truly shocking to hear that all that has happened in the intervening years is that a site for a desalination plant has been identified. Clearly, desalination is no longer a priority. Once again, it seems to have been a typical political promise that has come to nothing. It is time for the City and provincial leadership to come forward and tell the people of Cape Town and the Western Cape openly what their intentions are regarding desalination. They must also provide clear timelines so that we can hold them accountable. They will be asking for our votes in November, so it is time for them to be honest and transparent if they want our support. - Francois Kloppers, WELGELEGEN
Eienaars ontsteld oor hoër heffing Ek het nog nooit ’n party gesien wat homself kort voor ’n verkiesing so in die voet kan skiet nie. Die buitensporige verhoging in die voorafbetaal-elektrisiteitsheffing vanaf 1 September, sonder enige vooraf kennisgewing aan eiendomseienaars, is fataal! Die heffing van R368,96 plus BTW verskyn op rekeninge as “HU heffing diens en bedrading (prepaid)”. Ek het in April ’n 12-maande-huurkontrak met my huurder gesluit, met die gewone munisipale verhog-
ing vanaf 1 Julie in gedagte. Nou sit ek met ’n verdere verhoging wat ek nie ingevolge my bestaande kontrak aan my huurder kan deurgee nie. Ek het ook ’n vriend wat verskeie eiendomme besit, en hy is briesend oor die verhoging. Ek glo daar is talle ander eiendomseienaars wat in dieselfde bootjie sit. Ek dink die DA en die huidige metroraad gaan duur betaal vir hierdie besluit. Hulle het nou die koeie leeg gemelk en is besig met die bulle, wat hulle gaan gaffel! - Joe, E-POS
the cold
I refer to the letter 7 October issue of TygerBurger, “Where do all the trolleys go?” I live in Burgundy Estate and the trolley problem there is bad. I counted seven trolley’s outside the one complex. When the wind blows they roll into the road, into the traffic, very dangerous. I doubt I’m allowed to mention the chain store, where they originate from, but it’s a real problem in Burgundy. On a lighter note, the writer of the previous mail suggests maybe there’s a “trolley society”, where they discuss their journey, what about the ones that are parked alone the whole night, in the cold and wind, on a verge somewhere or construction site. Di Boshoff, BURGUNDY ESTATE
Our streets deserve better I have lived in this community for more than 20 years, and it saddens me to see how our streets and public spaces have deteriorated. From overflowing rubbish bins to potholes and neglected pavements, there are several issues that need urgent attention. Our neighbourhood should be a place where families can walk safely, children can play outdoors and older residents can enjoy their surroundings without worrying about tripping over broken pavements or stepping into potholes. While I understand that the municipality has many responsibilities and that budgets are limited, basic maintenance should remain a priority. Small problems often become bigger and more expensive to fix when they are ignored for too long. Residents also have a responsibility to keep the area clean. Dumping rubbish illegally, leaving household waste next to bins and failing to clean up after pets only make matters worse. I believe we can make a difference if residents and the municipality work together. Community members should report problems, participate in clean-up initiatives and take pride in their surroundings. We all want to live in a neighbourhood we can be proud of. Surely, keeping our streets clean, safe and well maintained is a reasonable expectation. - Maria, PAROW

RUGBY GOLD CUP
Durbell 40 winners each shopping reach semis get a R250 voucher.
AVRIL FILLIES urbell, representing the Western Province Rugby Union (WPRU), progressed to the semi-finals of the Gold Cup after beating Roses United from Boland 52-17 on Saturday 10 October on Pelikaan Park in Wellington. United learned valuable lessons from this encounter and was gracious in their defeat by acknowledging that the visitors were the better team on the day. They wished them well in their further endeavours in the competition. Durbell used all their opportunities to score tries and kept the scoreboard rolling. When the floodgates opened the home side had no ammunition to counter the onslaught and was behind 28-5 at half-time. Durbell will now play against College Rovers of Durban in the semi-final on Saturday 17 October and the winner of this encounter will be the representative of the Southern Bracket in the final. In the Top 16 Durbell beat Villager from Brookside, last year’s finalist, 32-27 and Roses United beat Bloemfontein Police
