THREE SHOOTINGS IN STRANDFONTEIN CLAIMS FOUR LIVES AND WOUNDS TWO

Four killed in shootings LAUREN O'CONNOR-MAY

LAUREN.OCONNOR-MAY@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

trandfontein residents were fearful after shootings over the weekend and on Monday night left four people dead. The first shooting happened in Church Street on Friday 16 October at about 20:00. The second took place in Dinghy Circle on Saturday 17 October and the third on Monday 19 October. CHURCH STREET SHOOTING Police spokesperson Lt Col FC van Wyk said two 19-year-old men were shot and injured in Church Street on Friday night. The teenagers were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds to the head and abdomen. Police opened two cases of attempted murder, which were later changed to murder and attempted murder after one of the men died in hospital from his injuries. The motive is believed to be gang-related. DINGHY CIRCLE SHOOTING Two people were killed and two others injured in the second shooting in Dinghy Circle on Saturday. According to crime watch groups, the shooters escaped in two white VW Polos but police have not confirmed this. Strandfontein Community Police Forum (CPF) chair Sandy Schuter said police and the neighbourhood watch blocked off the circle while forensic teams examined the scene. She said the area had been cordoned off for hours because of the long wait for the anti-gang unit. “There were multiple shootings in Mitchells Plain and Lentegeur, so it took a while,” she said.

Ward councillor Elton Jansen said in a post on his WhatsApp channel that two people had also been taken to hospital. “I visited the scene and spoke to the Strandfontein Community Police Forum chair as well as the Strandfontein police station commander,” he said. “Resources are being brought into the area for high visibility and to combat possible retaliation.” Jansen called on residents not to share videos that could compromise investigations and asked parents not to let their children stand on street corners. He thanked neighbourhood watch volunteers who managed the crime scene. There were rumours of a retaliatory shooting in Blou Dakke later on Saturday night, but Schuter confirmed this was false. On the CPF's WhatsApp channel, she called the incidents “heartbreaking” and appealed to residents not to panic. “Please, let's keep calm and avoid spreading unverified voice notes or panic on the groups,” she said.

He said police found the body of a 26-year-old man in the front of a premises in the street. “He sustained multiple gunshot wounds,” Van Wyk said. “Strandfontein police registered a murder case for investigation.” TO PAGE 2

Chronic medicines out of stock

PATIENTS CONCERNED ABOUT SHORTAGES

hronic medication, for life-threatening diseases such as hypertension and asthma, are out of stock at public hospitals in the Western Cape. Last week a Strandfontein resident messaged TygerBurger saying she had received none of her hypertension medication and only some of her asthma medication on going for her chronicmedicine pick-up. She showed TygerBurger her receipt which listed several of the medicines as “out of stock”. “I asked the nurse what I should do and she said that they only delivered the medication and if there was something missing I needed to contact the hospital. I phoned the hospital but no one answered and then I ran out of airtime. The next day my neighbour went for her doctor's appointment and also came home without her high blood tablets.” The resident related how a neighbour, in her 50s, was visiting another public hospital where doctors warned her that interrupting her medication could lead to a stroke or heart attack. She herself saw the doctors at Retreat Day Hospital every six months and collected her chronic medication monthly at the Retreat Civic Centre.

“I’m really frightened,” she said. “I have to wait another three weeks for my next appointment, and what if there still isn’t medicine then?” DEPARTMENT CONFIRMS SHORTAGE Western Cape Health Department spokesperson Shimoney Regter confirmed there was a shortage of medicine. “We understand medicine shortages can be worrying for patients and their families. Supply challenges across South Africa and internationally are driven by several factors, including manufacturing delays, global shipping disruptions, regulatory processes and supply-chain constraints. Delays relate to national contracts have also contributed. “The Western Cape Department of Health and Wellness is working closely with suppliers, the National Department of Health and other partners to secure medicines, source alternatives where possible and minimise disruptions to patient care. While supplies of some medicines have improved, stock remains under pressure, and rebuilding reserve stock at the Cape Medical Depot will take time.”

Three arrested for illegal guns Lentegeur police arrested three men in Woodlands in separate incidents involving firearms and ammunition. SATURDAY ARREST On Saturday 17 October at 18:15, the Lentegeur crime prevention unit was patrolling in Selena Way when officers saw a man exit a passageway and hand a firearm to another man in the road. The second man placed the firearm in his tracksuit pants and ran towards Soccer Street, crossing the field to Dune Street, said Lentegeur police spokesperson Const Navon van Houten. Officers pursued the suspect and drove around the field into Dune Street, where residents pointed them towards a property. Police looked over the wall and saw the suspect hiding in the yard. They caught him and found him in possession of a 9mm Glock firearm without a serial number and 17 rounds of ammunition. He did not have a valid firearm licence and was arrested and held at Lentegeur Police Station. The firearm and ammunition were confiscated as evidence. The first suspect was arrested in the vicinity. A 17-year-old and a 31-yearold were arrested for possession of a prohibited firearm and illegal possession of ammunition. Both were expected to appear in the Mitchells Plain Magistrates' Court on Monday 19 October. SUNDAY ARREST In a separate incident on Sunday 18 October at 17:30, the crime prevention unit was patrolling a hotspot area in Woodlands when a man ran as he saw the police. Officers chased him and caught him in a nearby yard. He was found in possession of an unlicensed 9mm Glock firearm with 15 live rounds, said Const Van Houten. A 21-year-old man was arrested for possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of ammunition. He was also expected to appear in the Mitchells Plain Magistrates' Court on Monday 19 October.

Wiel kom af tydens onwettige ‘spinning’, tref negejarige MURPHY ROBERTS ulle sal na vore moet kom en verklarings aflewer oor wat gebeur het tydens die naweek se onwettige ‘spinning’ wat die dood van ‘n negejarige veroorsaak het.” Dít is die boodskap van gemeenskapaktivis Peter Stoffberg van #PiempHulle-faam.

“J

BEROEP Stoffberg het ’n beroep op die meisietjie – wie se naam nog nie bekend gemaak is nie – se familie, die betrokke motorbestuurder en enige moontlike getuies gedoen om na vore te kom en die omstandighede rondom die voorval aan die polisie te verduidelik. Die kind is van Eastridge in Mitchells Plain. NIE AANGEMELD NIE Volgens Stoffberg het hy besef dat die voorval en die kind se dood nie by die Atlantis-polisiestasie of enige ander polisiestasie aangemeld is nie, toe hy navraag daaroor gedoen het. Die beweerde voorval in Atlantis het kommer oor die veiligheid van spinning-byeenkomste laat ontstaan. Die omstandighede rondom die negejarige se dood moet nog behoorlik ondersoek word. Lisa Munro, polisiewoordvoerder by die Atlantis-polisie, die kind se dood bevestig. Die kind is in die Netcare Blaauwberghospitaal oorlede en daarom ondersoek die Tableview-polsiie die saak verder. POLISIE MELD AAN Die familie het aangedui dat hulle

GEMEENSKAPSAKTIVIS DOEN BEROEP OP INWONERS VAN ATLANTIS OM DIE POLISIE MET INLIGTING OOR DIE VOORVAL TE KONTAK vandag (13 Oktober) amptelik die kind se dood by die polisie gaan aanmeld. ONWETTIG Volgens inwoners se kommentaar op Stoffberg se Facebook-plasing het die wiel van een van die motors wat aan die onwettige spinning-byeenkoms deelgeneem het, vermoedelik losgekom en die negejarige teen die kop getref. Daar word ook beweer dat die kind vinnig in ‘n motor na die Blaauwberg-hospitaal geneem is om te keer dat die Atlantis-polisie betrokke raak. Die polisie vra dat enige video-opnames, selfoonmateriaal of ander bewyse wat lig op die voorval kan werp, met die polisie gedeel sal word. “Die doel is om te verseker dat die omstandighede rondom die kind se dood behoorlik ondersoek word en dat enige moontlike verantwoordelikheid deur die toepaslike regsproses bepaal word,” het Munro verduidelik. ONWETTIGE BYEENKOMS Onwettige byeenkomste wek kommer Die voorval het ook kommer laat ontstaan oor die veiligheid van onwettige spinning-byeenkomste en die moontlike gevolge wanneer sulke geleenthede sonder behoorlike beheer plaasvind. Volgens Stoffberg weet hy reeds van

verskeie ernstige voorvalle in Atlantis en elke keer sterf dit net ’n stille dood. Organiseerders van sulke geleenthede kan, afhangend van die omstandighede en die beskikbare getuienis, moontlik aanspreeklik gehou word indien nalatigheid of ander onregmatige optrede bewys kan word, verduidelik hy in sy soeke na geregtigheid vir die familie. STEL INLIGTING BESKIKBAAR Die publiek word aangemoedig om nie relevante inligting terug te hou nie, maar om dit eerder aan die ondersoekbeamptes beskikbaar te stel. Getuies moet ook nie ongeverifieerde bewerings of sensitiewe beeldmateriaal op sosiale media versprei wat die familie verder kan benadeel of ’n moontlike ondersoek kan bemoeilik nie. Die dood van ’n kind is ’n ernstige saak wat deeglike ondersoek en verantwoordbare optrede vereis. KONTAK POLISIE Enige persoon met inligting oor die beweerde voorval word versoek om die Atlantis-polisiestasie te kontak en ’n verklaring af te lê. “Petrol kos R30 per liter en julle gaan nog mors!” sê ‘n leser. Stoffberg het die gemeenskap gewaarsku dat onverantwoordelike gedrag ernstige gevolge kan hê.

Forum equips AA calls for fuel levy scrapping leaders on GBV The Automobile Association (AA) has called for the immediate scrapping of the Road Accident Fund levy and a R3-a-litre cut to the general fuel levy after petrol and diesel reached their highest prices in South African history. Fuel prices’ recent jump pushed motorists to the limit. Early data from the Central Energy Fund now signals a further increase of up to R4,58 a litre for petrol in November.

ANNUAL REPORT The AA’s demands come as the Road Accident Fund published its annual report for the 2025-'26 financial year, requesting an increase in the RAF levy from R2,25 to R3 per litre for both petrol and diesel. “For the new RAF CEO, Waseem Carrim, appointed by cabinet just a few weeks ago, to even be considering this path is beyond concerning,” says Bobby Ramagwede, CEO of the Automobile Association. The RAF levy already increased by seven

cents in April this year. Net RAF levy collections totalled R47,8 billion during the financial year, according to the fund’s annual report. Ramagwede says the RAF remains under-capitalised with liabilities exceeding assets based on reduced fuel sales, but argues that increasing consumer costs is not the solution. The AA wants National Treasury to cut fuel taxes by a further R3 a litre.

Fuel prices’ recent jump pushed motorists to the limit.

n Friday 16 October the Mitchell’s Plain Safety and Development Forum (MPSDF) brought together 50 community safety representatives for a workshop on gender-based violence (GBV). The representatives included members of community policing forums and neighbourhood watches. They gained practical knowledge, guidance on accessing support services and a clearer understanding of their role in building safer communities, ahead of a festive season that brings added pressure on community safety. The workshop was led by Lynn Phillips, MPSDF effective and responsive law enforcement workstream lead, and facilitated by MOSAIC, a non-profit organisation that supports survivors of GBV. MPSDF spokesperson Tyrone Parks said facilitators Eric Bafo, Nomyameko Jikwana and Thembani “Moegamat” Dycige guided discussions on understanding GBV and the practical steps communities can take to respond. ACCESS TO JUSTICE AND SUPPORT Attorney Malikah Schaffers of the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime (GI-TOC), is stationed at Mitchell’s Plain Police Station. She explained the legal avenues of assistance available and where to seek guidance when GBV concerns arise. Schaffers is also a legal support officer in the Lawyers in Police Stations Project, a partnership between the police and GI-TOC that was launched at Mitchell’s Plain Police Station in August. The project forms part of the Western Cape Government’s Community-Level Safety and Development Programme, which is being piloted in partnership with the Mitchells Plain community. LEGAL GUIDANCE SUPPORT The initiative places legal support officers at the police station to provide legal guidance to residents and practical mentorship to police officers, helping to address shortcomings at the earliest stages of the criminal justice process. Premier Alan Winde and Western Cape MEC of Police Oversight and Community Safety Anroux Marais said they are encouraged by early interventions being implemented through the project. ENGAGEMENT WITH RESIDENTS During the initial phase, Schaffers identified challenges in the recording of complaints, including difficulties in distinguishing the specific nature of complaints and ensuring that statements capture all the facts needed to prove an alleged offence. She also found instances where matters that should be pursued through civil proceedings were being registered as criminal cases. To help address these challenges, Schaffers engages with residents waiting to report cases at the police station. Through an initial check and legal guidance, she helps residents clarify the nature of their complaints and understand the appropriate legal avenues available to them. This aims to reduce confusion, improve the accuracy of statements

“Policing is but one component of the criminal justice system ...” - Alan Winde and limit frustration when cases are withdrawn or removed from the court schedule because they were incorrectly registered. Schaffers also provides guidance to police officers in the front office on the key facts needed to prove a specific crime and the information that needs to be captured in complainants’ statements. GI-TOC DEVELOPS POCKET GUIDE FOR POLICE OFFICERS As a further intervention, GI-TOC is developing a practical pocket guide to help police officers with the recording of different types of crimes. The guide will help officers identify the relevant questions to ask complainants and ensure essential information is recorded from the outset. Schaffers has also identified a need to strengthen understanding of the role and functions of commissioners of oaths at Mitchells Plain Police Station. Commissioners of oaths are officials who can certify documents and take sworn statements. A training programme will be undertaken to ensure this resource is used correctly and in line with legal requirements. Winde said: “Policing is but one component of the criminal justice system. The entire system is in desperate need of an overhaul. Through this intervention, we are taking a more holistic approach to addressing this, by securing more convictions. Too many police stations across the Western Cape continue to face significant resource constraints. While we will continue advocating for a fairer allocation of resources, we are also pursuing innovative solutions and strategic partnerships to address policing challenges and improve service delivery to our communities.” Marais said: “These early observations show why we need to strengthen the criminal justice process at the point where it begins. When a case is incorrectly recorded or a statement omits important information, it can undermine a case before it even reaches court. By working with the police, GI-TOC and our community partners to address these practical challenges we can improve service to residents and help ensure that cases are properly prepared for prosecution. “Our focus is on improving the experience of residents, strengthening the quality of case files presented to court and helping ensure that victims have a better chance of seeing justice served,” Marais said. LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMITMENT Police representatives, backed by a message of support from acting station commander Col Wendy Nciweni, outlined reporting protocols and protection measures while engaging directly with safety structures to rebuild community trust.

Gatvol in court over pet neglect LAUREN O’CONNOR-MAY

SPCA CONFISCATES MALNOURISHED PARROT

LAUREN.OCONNOR-MAY@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

adiel Adams appeared in court last week, this time for charges related to a neglected pet that the SPCA had seized from his home. The Westridge resident, leader of the National Coloured Congress (NCC) and a member of Parliament in the National Assembly, who styled himself as “Gatvol” on social media, faces multiple charges of fraud and defeating the ends of justice but his recent appearance in court was for charges of a different nature. Belinda Abraham, spokesperson for the SPCA, said: “We can confirm Mr Fadiel Adams appeared in the Mitchells Plain Magistrates’ Court last week on charges of animal cruelty. This follows the removal of his African Grey parrot in 2024. The parrot was found in poor health and living in unhygienic conditions. Warnings were issued

The bird was found to be neglected and living in a too-small and ﬁlthy cage.

and due to non-compliance a warrant was obtained and the bird was seized by the SPCA.” A report on the incident on the SPCA’s website in 2024 said it had sought and got a court order to remove the neglected parrot. The incident began when the SPCA responded to a complaint regarding dogs being kept in poor living conditions at the Westridge home owned by Adams. “During the initial inspection the owner denied our inspector access and instructed him to return later that day. When the inspector returned the conditions appeared to be in order, suggesting the owner had hastily cleaned the animals’ living spaces. However, the inspector noticed an African Grey parrot with severe feather loss, prompting a written warning for the owner to have the bird examined by an exotic bird veterinarian.” PARROT RESCUE According to the report Adams, who is called “the owner” throughout, complied and the vet instructed Adams on how to better care for the exotic bird. “Despite this, the SPCA faced resistance when attempting follow-up inspections. The owner accused the SPCA of harassment and refused to comply with the inspectors. After a lengthy discussion, the owner reluctantly

agreed to a specific inspection time, warning our Inspector to ‘tread very carefully,’” the report said. The report goes on to say that when the inspector arrived at the agreed time he was again denied access. “With the owner’s noncompliance the SPCA approached the Mitchells Plain Magistrates’ Court on 2 July 2024 and obtained an order in terms of Section 8 of the Animals Protection Act 71 of 1962, read together with Regulation 468. Section 8 of the Animals Protection Act allows inspectors to secure a court order if an owner or occupier refuses access.” The inspectors returned to the house, accompanied by police, and told Adams of the court order granting them access. According to the report Adams threatened the inspectors, telling them that they “do not know who they are dealing with.” “Despite this our team proceeded with the inspection.” Inspectors found that the parrot’s condition had worsened since their previous inspection. “The owner had not followed the veterinarian’s advice, and the bird was living in filthy conditions with an unsuitable cage,” the report said. The bird was confiscated and taken to an avian and exotic veterinarian. “The avian veterinarian’s

findings were alarming,” the report said, explaining that tests showed that the bird had an infection and several diseases including osteoarthritis. The bird was also malnourished and in immense pain. “The veterinarian concluded that it was inhumane to keep the bird in such conditions, as untreated, the bird would continue to suffer.”

TygerBurger asked if the bird survived, what her name was and where she was now. Abraham replied that Cookie was “being kept at a place of safety, where her welfare needs are being catered for appropriately.” The TygerBurger emailed the NCC for comment but received no response by the time of publication.

THINKING OUT LOUD

BRIEWE | LETTERS

LEWENSKIEKIE

I’ll always be a Ouerskap is nie journalist at heart ’n kompetisie nie Next week marks my last as a TygerBurger journalist. As of next month, I will start my uncertain future as a retrenched-twicein-two years journalist who’s’s closer to 50 than she is to 40. Early retirement is tempting but impossible since I still have young children at school. Work, I must. When I started at TygerBurger little over a year ago, I came with much trepidation. I had cut my teeth at the paper’s direct opposition and had met some of their seasoned journalists in the field. The brand, rooted in an area I was unfamiliar with, had a work culture that was wildly different. My distant impression of the paper had been tainted by whispered gossip from past employees that had crossed the floor. I was anxious on my first day but immediately discovered that the past employees must have either lied, or the office culture had changed much since then. I quickly bonded with many of my colleagues and was surprised to find myself enjoying working as a journalist again — even though the job had changed during the years I’d spent in middle management and comms. Community journalists no longer just write, take photos and build relationships. They now also need to use AI, work with mics, videos, analytics and social media. My step back into reporting saw me no longer working only behind the camera but I had to get comfortable in front of it too. Venturing back into the field after working behind a desk for so long, stretched muscles I’d never known I had — and I thoroughly myself.

Dit voel soms asof ouerskap deesdae ’n kompetisie geword het. Op sosiale media sien ons hoe ander ouers se kinders presteer, watter aktiwiteite hulle doen, hoe mooi hul verjaarsdagpartytjies lyk en hoeveel moeite daar met elke spesiale geleentheid gedoen word. Dit is maklik om na hierdie prentjies te kyk en te wonder of ons genoeg doen vir ons eie kinders. Maar ons moet onsself daaraan herinner dat sosiale media nie die volle waarheid wys nie. Agter elke mooi foto is daar ook moeilike dae, moegheid, frustrasie en oomblikke wanneer dinge glad nie volgens plan verloop nie. Ouers voel reeds genoeg druk om hul kinders gelukkig, veilig en gesond groot te maak. Baie moet terselfdertyd werk, huishoudings bestuur, rekeninge betaal en probeer om genoeg tyd saam met hul gesinne deur te bring. Daarom behoort ons mekaar eerder te ondersteun as om mekaar te oordeel. Nie elke kind het ’n duur partytjie, die nuutste speelgoed of hope buitemuurse aktiwiteite nodig nie. Kinders het liefde, aandag, sekuriteit en ouers nodig wat moeite doen om hulle te verstaan.Soms is die belangrikste oomblikke juis die eenvoudigste: ’n storie voor slaaptyd, saam lag oor aandete of ’n drukkie ná ’n moeilike dag. Dit beteken nie dat ouers nie daarna moet streef om hul kinders die beste moontlike geleenthede te bied nie. Dit beteken bloot dat ons moet ophou om ons waarde as ouers aan ander mense se lewens op sosiale media te meet. Elke gesin se omstandighede verskil, en elke kind se behoeftes is uniek. Kom ons gee onsself en ander ouers ’n bietjie meer genade. Ons hoef nie perfekte ouers te wees nie. Ons moet net aanhou probeer om liefdevolle, betrokke ouers te wees. Net 'n gewone ma, E-POS

GENIET JOU TUIN: Isa Hurter en die kosbare klein Julie geniet die sonskyn tydens die Buh-Rein-aftreeoord in Kraaifontein se Nasionale Tuindag viering. Tuindag, wat jaarliks in Oktober gevier word, moedig mense aan om hul tuine te geniet en te waardeer. Die oord se asemrowende tuine met sy sowat 100 roosbome in kenmerkende Italiaanse styl uitgelê, was die perfekte agtergrond vir die feesvieringe.

The cost of living is putting MY FUTURE IS UNCERTAIN BUT I HAVE NO REGRETS families under pressure ..

More than that, I enjoyed reconnecting with old contacts and making new ones. It was pleasant to once again have a chinwag with interesting characters. A lot had changed but I felt like I was thriving, until my old nemesis — restructuring — reared its head again. All other media brands have undergone the same unpleasant pruning, with at least two doing so at the same time as TygerBurger. The industry is now saturated with seasoned, skilled and unemployed journalists trying to find their balance in a constantly shifting terrain. My future is uncertain but I have no regrets. I’m thankful that I got to meet new and old friends, even though my time working with them was painfully short. This experience taught me that this old dog can still learn new tricks and I’m happy to find that the communities still value these treasured titles and look for them, scold for not getting them and treat them with respect — even though many are collapsing like wet origami. I was honoured to be trusted with the stories of so many people — pigeon fanciers, police officers, recovering addicts, aspiring young people, passionate community workers, and all the other unique kinds of people one only meets while working in ground-level journalism. During my year and a bit at TygerBurger, I have written stories about all things strange, scary, curious and quirky. I eulogized children who had been killed by stray bullets, championed princesses on pageantry runways, lobbied for sportspeople raising funds for global competitions, advocated for causes and informed residents about news of every variety. And I enjoyed every minute of it. I’m grateful that God gave me this short time with my TygerBurger family and trust that he has a plan for what comes next. -LAUREN O'CONNOR-MAY

For many South African households, making it through the month has become an increasingly difficult exercise. The cost of food, electricity, transport, school necessities and other basic expenses continues to place enormous pressure on families already struggling to make ends meet. Parents are being forced to make difficult choices. Do they buy enough groceries for the week or put money aside for transport? Do they pay an outstanding account or ensure their children have everything they need for school? These are not comfortable decisions, and they are becoming a reality for more families than we may realise. What makes the situation particularly concerning is that children often feel the effects most deeply. When household budgets are stretched, there may be less money for nutritious meals, educational resources and

activities that support their development. We cannot ignore the pressure that ﬁnancial difficulties place on parents and caregivers. Constantly worrying about money can affect relationships, emotional well-being and the atmosphere within a home. Communities can help by supporting local food initiatives, donating school supplies where possible and looking out for vulnerable households. However, community support cannot replace the need for meaningful solutions to unemployment and the rising cost of essential goods and services. We need to continue asking whether enough is being done to help ordinary working families survive. People should not have to work hard every day and still struggle to afford the basics. Every family deserves the opportunity to live with dignity, provide for their children and look towards the future without constant ﬁnancial fear. Kim Hendricks, EMAIL

No choice: Desalination must always remain a priority Referring to Francois Kloppers’ letter on 14 October, “Desalination: Promises without progress?”, highlights a concern that should unite all: our long-term water security cannot depend on promises made during a crisis and forgotten when conditions improve. The Day Zero crisis should have been a turning point. It exposed our vulnerability and the need to diversify water supplies through a combination of conservation, water reuse, groundwater where sustainable, and desalination. Desalination is not a simple or inexpensive solution. It requires careful site selection, substantial investment, reliable energy, responsible brine management and infrastructure to deliver water where it is needed. These challenges, however, are reasons for sound planning, not for allowing progress to stall.

Planning must also consider renewable energy and emerging brine-treatment technologies, and suitable treated-water storage or a connection to the bulk-water network so that desalination is developed as an environmentally responsible, long-term solution. I support Francois' call for honest communication, clear timelines and public accountability. Residents deserve to know what has been decided, what remains outstanding, what the alternatives are and when meaningful progress can be expected. Desalination must remain a strategic priority, not merely an emergency option revived when dams run low. The time has come to turn past promises into a transparent, technically sound and achievable programme for the Western Cape’s water future. Ben Groendewald, PLATTEKLOOF

Put down the phone and reconnect When last did you sit around the dinner table with your family without someone checking a phone? When last did you have a conversation with a friend without a notiﬁcation interrupting it? Technology has made our lives easier. However, many of us have become so attached to our screens that we are forgetting the importance of being present. It is not unusual to see families sitting together in restaurants while each person looks at a separate device. The concern is not that technology exists, but that we sometimes allow it to take the place of human interaction. Children learn from what they see. If they grow up watching adults constantly reach for their phones, they may come to believe that this is normal. Put phones away during meals, establish screenfree family time and make an effort to listen. The next time you sit with your family, consider putting your phone aside. The moment you are sharing with someone you love may not come again. Caitlin Josephs, EMAIL

Trollie-diefstal is misdaad As ‘n persoon ‘n winkeltrollie van die perseel verwyder met die intensie om dit nie weer terug te besorg nie, is dit nie maar dieselfde as om ‘n pakkie Weense worsies van dieselfde winkel se rak af te neem en by die deur uit te stap sonder om te betaal nie? Om ‘n winkeltrollie onwettig te neem, kom neer op winkeldiefstal. Sou daar ‘n klag gelê word en die betrokke persoon word skuldig bevind, beteken dit ‘n kriminele rekord. Dit blyk dat Durbanville-besighede se trollies in die winkels al hoe minder raak, want die trollies word al hoe meer op straat opgemerk waar haweloses dit gebruik om hul karige besittings mee rond te karwei. Ek kon dit amper nie glo toe die bestuurder van ‘n plaaslike winkel my meedeel dat hul R40 000 per maand spandeer om die trollies te herwin. Is daar nie ‘n manier hoe Durbanville se inwoners kan saamstaan om die besighede te help en die diefstal van trollies te probeer beperk nie? SW Burger, DURBANVILLE
