Blades and skill unite at this weekend’s Cape Knife Show
With the Cape Knife Show taking place at Tygervalley's Arena this weekend, excitement is already building among collectors and newcomers alike
But beyond the stunning blades on display lies something even more fascinating the craftsmanship and community behind them
Knife making is far more than hammering metal on an anvil Each handmade knife represents precision engineering, metallurgy, design, woodworking, heat treatment and finishing all executed by the hands of a single craftsman A maker may spend anything from eight to 50 hours crafting one blade, carefully shaping, hardening, grinding, sharpening and fitting the perfect handle No two knives are ever truly identical
FOUNDATIONFORFUTUREMAKERS
For those wanting to delve deeper into the craft, the Cape Knife Club (CKC) provides the perfect foundation Founded in 1991, the club has been active for more than 33 years, during which it has hosted more than 20 successful knife shows demonstrating its long-standing commitment to preserving and promoting the art of knife making in South Africa Members enjoy monthly gatherings with live demonstrations and technical discussions, access to experienced makers who readily share tips and techniques, a supportive WhatsApp group where questions are answered within minutes, exposure via Facebook, Instagram and www capeknifeclub co za, and friendships forged over fire and steel
"You do not have to be an expert to join," says a senior club member " From hobbyists working out of garden sheds to world-renowned professionals selling knives for thousands of rands, the Cape Knife Club is a rare community where everyone shares the same passion – and where new members are always welcome
So even if you visit the Cape Knife Show just to browse, do not be surprised if you leave not only with a knife – but with a new hobby, new skills, and a new group of friends
.The Cape Knife Show takes place in the The Arena of the Tygervalley Shopping Centre on Saturday 25 (09:00-17:00) and Sunday 26 (09:00-15:00) October Entry is R50 and includes a lucky draw entry

Opera and fun don’t always get invited to the same party People imagine serious faces, gold curtains and arias that last longer than a Cape Town cold front
But Opera UCT’s Die Fledermaus is the opposite: it’s fizzy, flirty and gloriously extra the kind of night out where you dress up, laugh out loud, and nudge the person next to you because yes, that just happened.
This production is bang-up to date: the famous Act II party has been moved to a Cape-based jazz nightclub all shadows, delicious music and latenight swagger
The costumes are street-to-salon chic (masks welcome), the pace is brisk, and the vibe is “friends’ night out ” not “whisper and behave” Worried about language? Don’t be The music is sung in German, the dialogue is in English, and surtitles keep everyone in the loop (including multilingual moments so no one gets left behind)
If you can follow a meme, you can follow this plot: mistaken identities, cheeky pranks, stolen kisses, and champagne-fuelled chaos.
That old myth that opera is for older, wealthy,
mostly privileged crowds? Not this one
The cast is young the staging is proudly Cape Town, and the energy is for everyone date-night people, fashion people, music people, first-timers, and yes, families (under 18s are free just book on Webtickets to reserve seats).
Think of Die Fledermaus as your favourite night out with better melodies
It’s the same delicious mischief from rom-coms and club stories, just sung by voices that can lift the roof and a band that can swing.
Come as you are or come extra. Either way, you’ll leave smiling and maybe humming.
Opera UCT’s Die Fledermaus runs at the Baxter Theatre from Thursday 23 to Sunday 26 October .Tickets range from R100 to R500 (u-18 free but need to book). Book at Webtickets
GAAN WEER IN NUWE JAAR DIE VREUGDE VAN KOORSANG DEEL
vir die AGS Care Village in Kuilsrivier aangebied en ook optredes by aftreeoorde gedoen. Die koor se gala-konsert, wat baie goed ontvang is, is by verskeie venues aangebied.
VOORDELEVANKOORSANG
Navorsing het bewys dat koorsang hartritmes kalmeer, goedvoelhormone vrystel en die immuunstelsel positief beïnvloed.
Die Amerikaanse skrywer Daniel H. Pink skryf in sy boek When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing dat koorsang 'n nuwe vorm van oefening is "Of jy nou in 'n koor sing of na koor-
musiek luister - dit is goed vir jou!" sê Heunis.
Die Tygerberg-stadskoor sien daarna uit om in die nuwe jaar weer die vreugde van koorsang met ander te deel en verwelkom nuwe lede om deel te word van hierdie betekenisvolle musiekgemeenskap
Beplanning is reeds aan die gang vir die koor se eerste konsert van 2026 Hierdie geleentheid sal in April in samewerking met vier ander kore plaasvind. Meer besonderhede sal mettertyd bekend gemaak word.
Die koorwerke wat Peter Roux, musiekdirekteur, vir hierdie konsert in gedagte het, kan egter net tot hul volle reg kom met meer mansstemme Die koor het 'n groot behoefte aan veral basse en tenore Vrouestemme is egter ook welkom. Oudisies sal in November plaasvind. . Skakel Peter Roux by 083 535 3707 as jy belangstel om 'n oudisie af te lê

Members of the Odysseus Motorcycle Club recently combined their love of riding with their passion for helping animals, raising a total of R13 000 for Fallen Angels Pet Rescue near Melkbosstrand “We believe in riding for a cause, and helping animals gives our rides real purpose,” said the club members On 12 October, a bright, sunny morning set the scene as the bikers gathered at N1 City before heading out to the rescue with donations in tow
BACKGROUND
Founded by Gayl Basson, Shireen Williams, and the late Lilian Williams, Fallen Angels has provided a safe and loving refuge for countless animals, extending its compassionate reach beyond Melkbosstrand to areas like Table View and Milnerton TygerBurger reported last year (“Fallen Angels Pet Rescue in Melkbosstrand forced to vacate site”, 14 November 2024) the future of this vital sanctuary is now at risk
On 1 November 2024, after investing over two and a half years and nearly R250 000 in compliance efforts, the organisation received word
THE DONATION ALSO COVERED VET FEES
from the City of Cape Town that their application for a Special Consent Use Permit had been denied The property’s proximity to the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station, within a regulated 5km zone, makes the rescue centre ineligible for its intended use
The City’s decision has left Fallen Angels Pet Rescue with no option but to vacate its current location
Through all the uncertainty and waiting for news on their appeal, Fallen Angels has new shelter plans underway on a smaller property in Langebaanweg on the West Coast
Earlier in the month, the club handed over R7 500 directly to the rescue’s vet account at West Beach Animal Hospital This was followed by an additional R3 850 worth of pet food, blankets, chemicals, and supplies, plus R1 000 in cash donations A generous anonymous donor also contributed a collection of animal toys
WARMWELCOME
Upon arrival, the group was warmly welcomed by Karen Stramrood, the farm manager, whose dedication and heartfelt appreciation set the tone for a
meaningful visit Members toured the rescue grounds, accompanied by wagging tails and playful paws a reminder of why their support matters
Special thanks went to Robert Todd, who coordinated shopping, transport, and negotiated discounts from local businesses Brackenfell Pets offered 5% off pet supplies, and HANCO Packaging contributed additional discounted goods, stretching every rand further
The day was filled with moments of joy and connection, including Dick de Kroon adopting a dog, giving one lucky animal a forever home
Fallen Angels expressed their gratitude: “A massive thank you goes out to Odysseus Motorcycle Club for their awesome donation towards our vet account and for coming to the farm to walk some of our furbabies Thank you so much ”

Wie se skuld is die stad se verkeersprobleem?
“Mamma, opskud, ons moet nóú ry!”
Dis Maandag 06:40, die derde keer wat my seun my aanjaag Eintlik moes ons 10 minute gelede in die pad geval het om die ergste verkeer vry te spring, maar ek is te besig om die hond, met my regterskoen in sy mond, om die eetkamertafel te jaag Dis ook nie die eerste keer nie Gewoonlik mik hy vir ’n skoen (of sokkie) terwyl ek skaars een sokkie aan ’n voet het, maar vanoggend vind hy ’n ander gaping en gryp die skoen vinnig, reg onder my neus terwyl ek met die ander een se veters besig is “Mammmaaaa!” Dit help ook nie dat ons 14-jarige net so pedanties soos volwasse “Sheldon” (dink Big Bang Theory-faam) kan raak nie Maar, in dié geval is hy knaend met goeie rede die verkeer Die hoërskool is ongeveer 7 2 km van waar ons woon geleë aan die anderkant van die N1 Die ongeveer 2,5km vanaf ons huis tot waar ons die N1 oorgesteek het, neem enigiets tussen 20 en 45 minute, afhangend hoe laat ’n mens ry Slegs twee minute kan ’n groot verskil maak Dis nou ook as daar nie teëspoed langs die pad is nie ’n Ongeluk op die N1, ’n vragmotor wat onklaar geraak het, of selfs net ’n verkeerslig waarvan die oorslaantyd uit is, kan jou reistyd maklik met ’n uur verleng Klink belaglik, nê Maar dis die realiteit wat soveel ouers in die noordelike voostede in die gesig staar As jou kind gelukkig genoeg is om by die hoërskool van sy keuse aanvaar te word, of in sommige se geval, net ’n plek in ’n skool kry, is dit die prys wat jy betaal ’n uur of twee in die oggendverkeer Week na week sien en hoor ek mense kla in briewe aan die koerant, op WhatsApp-groepies en ander sosiale media Die probleem raak ook nie beter nie Inteendeel, met al die woonstelblokke, dorpshuise en komplekse wat soos sampioene opskiet, raak die voertuie op die pad net meer
Iemand stuur onlangs vir my skermgrepe van twee e-posse die repliek van ons raadslid aan mense wat by hom oor die verkeersituasie gekla het In die een raak hy aan die beplande R300-verlenging, asook die tekort aan openbare vervoer In die ander word daar sommer ook na die ouers vinger gewys: “ die hoeveelheid voertuie en ouers wat aandring om individueel hul kinders skool toe te neem, is deels verantwoordelik ” Aandring? Ek sien rooi Dit is nie my keuse om elke oggend meer as ’n uur voor die skool begin my huis te verlaat en in die verkeer te sit nie Ek doen dit omdat daar geen alternatiewe is nie Noord van die N1 is daar geen treindienste nie, Gabs se roetes is beperk en die busse loop nie gereeld genoeg nie Die MyCiti-busdiens wat jare gelede vir die noorde belowe is, het nooit gerealiseer nie Dit los ons met die taxi’s, en hier is geen twyfel nie; my kind se veiligheid kom eerste! So dan ry ek maar eerder self Toe hy nog in die laerskool was, het ek en ’n ander mamma ’n saamryooreenkoms gehad Dit het uitstekend gewerk, tot hulle na verskillende hoërskole toe is Op wie se skouers rus die blaam? Ouers wat net die beste vir hul kinders wil hê? Ouers wie se kind ten minste ’n plekkie in ’n skool gekry het, al is dit nie om die draai van jou huis nie? Die tekort aan skole? Die gebrekkige openbare vervoer? Motoriste wat nie op die pad hoort nie? Verstedeliking? Paaie wat nie meer die verkeer kan hanteer nie? Paaie waarvan die opknapping vertraag word? Swak stedelike beplanning?
’n Wyse man het gesê, “bring vir my oplossings, nie probleme nie” Dalk is dit tyd dat ons minder vinger wys en kla, en eerder met oplossings vorendag kom
In my opinie is Kaapstad is ’n wêreldklas-stad ’n topbestemming met gebrekkige openbare vervoer Dan kry Durbanville boonop ook nog ’n lughawe
Dit is dus tyd vir die Stad Kaapstad om dringend in die noordelike voorstede in betroubare, gereelde openbare vervoer soos die MyCiti-diens te belê - CECILIA HUME

Bunny crisis in Durbanville
Durbanville has sadly become a known dumping ground for domestic rabbits
In recent weeks, more than 24 abandoned bunnies have had to be rescued sterilised and cared for to prevent further breeding
Why this matters:
.Pet rabbits are domesticated animals, not wild They cannot survive on their own
.Many are run over by cars in neighbourhood streets
. They are easy prey and are attacked or eaten by dogs, cats birds – and even people
.Without care they get sick and die from untreated illnesses
.They suffer in extreme heat or cold, without proper water food and shelter
.Some people view them as pests, leading to them being poisoned or even shot
Dumping a rabbit is not only cruel it creates an end-
less cycle of suffering breeding and more abandoned animals
What you can do instead:
.Adopt don’t shop – and always sterilise your pets
.If you can no longer care for your bunny please contact a rabbit rescue or animal shelter as a last resort
.Rehome responsibly: post on South African bunny groups and rescue networks like Bunny Huggers SA and Bunnies South Africa
Abandoning your pet is not only cruel, it is illegal under the Animals Protection Act 71 of 1962
Let’s protect our bunnies and stop the cycle of dumping in Durbanville

Alle honde hoort aan leibande
Ek lees die afgelope twee publikasies van TygerBurger oor die hondeaanval in Bolandpark ("Hou aggresiewe honde op leibande"", 8 Oktober, en "Hou asseblief honde op leiband", 15 Oktober) Ek wil net graag my inset lewer en wil weet of sekere hondeliefhebbers beter as ander hondeliefhebbers is Volgens my kennis van die Stad Kaapstad se bywette moet alle honde in openbare plekke en parke en self op strande op ‘n leiband wees
Maak nie saak of dit 'n Jack Russell of rottweiler of bulterriër is nie Dit stel nie die persoon met die Jack Russell bo die wet om met sy of haar hond sonder n leiband te loop nie Baie keer gebeur dit dat honde met ander honderasse oor die weg kom, maar ek het al self gesien hoe honde hul eienaars beskerm teen 'n hond wat nie op 'n leiband is nie
Enige honde het die reg om homself of sy eienaars t b k S l id i i h ll h d
Taxi’s wat jaag in woonbuurte ’n gevaar
Ek is oningelig, maar dit voel verkeerd dat taxi's nou daagliks in woongebiede ry en die spoedbeperking oortree waar kinders speel en mense stap Is mense se oë net toe vir dit wat moontlik verkeerd is?
Hoekom doen mense met meer mag nie iets daaromtrent nie?
Of dalk mag hulle rondjaag in woonbuurt, dan vra ek om verskoning JACOBA HORN, Durbanville
boet word, maar daar word nie teen hulle opgetree nie Hulle staan nie eens agter 'n boom nie Ek sien hulle soms sommer op 'n sypaadjie staan en blaas leegmaak Dis hoekom dit op party plekke so sleg ruik
Die ander ding wat ek nie kan verstaan nie, is dat mense op enige plek spoeg Dis ook 'n gesondheidsrisiko
Ek hoop regtig daar word spoedig opgetree teen hierdie openbare oortredings WONDER SOMMER, Parow

This October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the provincial department of health and wellness is encouraging women to have regular check-ups
According to the department, about 1 500 new breast cancer cases are diagnosed annually in the Western Cape, with primary health care being a critical first step
It says the prevalence of breast cancer is increasing in South Africa, and globally Furthermore, women are diagnosed with more advanced breast cancer and have lower survival rates Therefore, women need to be diligent about their breast health, and seek help early, the department said in a statement issued on Monday
Clinics play a crucial role in assessing and identifying warning signs and facilitating prompt referrals to sites for definitive diagnoses and further management Teams of professionals, including nurses, clerks, physiotherapists, genetic services, dietitians, radiographers, doctors, psychologists, social workers, and support staff, alongside community partners such as Reach for Recovery, Project Flamingo, and Pink Lady Apples at Tygerberg Hospital, lead the fight against breast cancer and assist patients throughout their breast cancer journey, the department says

one disease, and every breast cancer patient needs to be treated individually, taking into consideration their physiology and the cancer characteristics
To achieve this, every patient is discussed at weekly virtual multidisciplinary meetings across the service ecosystem hosted by Tygerberg Hospital and Groote Schuur Hospital, which bring together surgeons, oncologists,
pathologists, radiologists, genetic counsellors, and doctors from regional hospitals
This provincial ecosystem approach to person-centred care, led by our healthcare teams, ensures that every patient’s treatment plan is tailor-made, the department says
Women who notice lumps or changes in their breast should visit their nearest primary health care clinic, or community health centre for free clinical screening, and referrals to higher levels of care

HERMANJANSEN
Newly elected Western Province Bowls (WPB) president, Tony Harland, recently “rolled out” his executive’s battle plan to combat challenges facing the sport Harland’s speech kicked off the traditional celebratory official opening of the WPB 2025-26 season in the Durbanville clubhouse on Sunday 12 October the first since the Covid-19 pandemic Key among these issues are dwindling membership numbers and financial pressures
Harland is a former president of Durbanville Bowling Club (DBC), the biggest club in the Western Province and arguably the most successful, financially and with achievements, on the greens He took over from Bellville’s Gerrit
van Milligen, who had a four year stint
Harland’s two year appointment in August is an historic one: As far as can be established he is the first member of DBC (established in 1948) to be elected as Western Province president
The opening day is traditionally hosted by the home club of the incoming WPB president
OFFICIALOPENINGSEASON
Harland said: “I am excited about today It brings back part of an old tradition of the official season opening which fell away during Covid-19 ”
Delegates from 22 of the 32 WPB clubs (three not active) attended the ceremony
“We have received apologies from many clubs, who had other commitments It is impossible to
accommodate everybody ”
Addressing financial challenges, Harland said the WPB executive have started with an overall review and redrawing of the budget
“I attended the Bowling South Africa (BSA) AGM the week after our AGM The overall financial position was the main area of discussion Concern was raised over the depletion of reserves and immediate cost-cutting action has been taken "
He said WPB was in the same predicament with dwindling reserves the last three years
“This trend cannot continue, hence the review of finances This exercise will be completed by the end of November,” he said
RELATIONSHIPS
Harland then addressed the sometimes tetchy issue of
interrelations within WPB
“The harder part of the goals set is that of relationships As an executive we need to ensure that everybody was on board to bring success both on and off the bowling green
“Many gaps were identified across the full spectrum of the bowling chain from executive level to standing committees to clubs and bowlers ”
Harland said membership numbers had been flat the last three years
“The issue with most clubs is not attracting new members but rather retaining members
"Are we getting close enough to our new members to make them feel part of the club?
“The perception of an ‘us and them’ must also be done away with ”
