The City has approved a property transaction that aims to support the long-term sustainability of the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (Sanccob) last week
The sanctuary leases the site in Table View from the City and has operated there as a globally-recognised non-profit organisation since 1968 Its mission is to rescue and rehabilitate endangered seabirds, especially the African penguin, through a combination of veterinary care, education and public engagement
“This is a prime example of how City-owned land can be used to drive environmental protection, education and economic opportunity,” said James Vos, Mayco member for Economic Growth, during a visit to the facility
“I’m proud that my team facilitated this transaction to support Sanccob’s important work ”
He highlighted Sanccob as a key
SEABIRD-POPULATION DECLINES BEING REVERSED
environmental partner, contributing to both wildlife protection and Cape Town’s oceans economy Ward 113 councillor Sue van der Linde added that the organisation is critical to both the Table View area and far beyond
“Sanccob plays a vital role in Ward 113 and beyond by rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing thousands of seabirds, most notably our beloved African penguins, a species under serious threat
“Its dedicated efforts not only reverse the decline of seabird populations, but also raise crucial environmental awareness within our coastal communities
“The presence of Sanccob in our ward is a point of pride, reminding us daily of the importance of conservation and the powerful difference that committed care and science can make ” . To find out more about Sanccob’s work and how to support them, visit https://sanccob. co.za/
Report crime, even
the small ones, CPF urges
The Milnerton Community Policing Forum (CPF) is urging residents to open a case at the police station whenever they are a victim of crime no matter how small the incident may seem "When cases are officially reported, the police can track crime trends and allocate resources where they're needed most If no case is opened, the area may appear crime-free on official records, even if
there have been multiple incidents.
"We've heard reports of criminal activity in certain parts of Milnerton, but without formal cases opened, the police have no record and therefore cannot respond strategically Help us help you – always open a case It strengthens our CPF efforts and ensures better safety planning for our community," the CPF says.

Ward councillors and officials from Subcouncil 3 joined Mayco member for Community Services and Health Francine Higham on a day–long inspection of community assets in Parklands, Table View, Phoenix, Joe Slovo and Milnerton last week. The exercise, she explained, was designed “to see first-hand where our clinics, parks and halls are thriving, and where they need extra care ”
The first stop was Table View Clinic, which continued to deliver maternal, child–health, HIV and TB services, and operated at capacity According to Higham “the staff are doing exceptional work in cramped conditions A possible expansion in 2027 is on the table, but it will depend on budget availability ”
At T-shaped Park in Dorchester Drive, Parklands residents voiced concerns about persistent dumping and sporadic unlawful
COMMUNITY SPACES SAFE, HEALTHY AND WELCOMING
occupations “People want to feel safe in their neighbourhood park,” Higham noted “We discussed a range of interventions, from stricter enforcement to landscaping that naturally deters illegal activities ”
JOESLOVOPARKVISIT
The delegation then visited the Joe Slovo Park Community Hall a venue in constant demand for church gatherings, sport and cultural events While usage is high, resources for cleaning and oversight are thin “There is enormous energy in this hall,” Higham observed “Our task is to find sustainable ways to support that energy with regular maintenance and stronger programming partnerships ”
In Milnerton construction crews have begun erecting fencing at Lupin Park, marking the first phase of an upgrade dedicated to the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu Future plans include new play equipment, seating and indigenous landscaping “Fencing signals the start of a transformation that will honour Archbishop Tutu’s legacy of compassion and community spirit,” Higham said She thanked the Subcouncil 3 chair and officials who took part in the tour, emphasising the City’s commitment to “nurturing safe, healthy and welcoming community spaces ” Further announcements on timelines and funding allocations are expected as budget discussions progress
Community medics show and tell
One of the most meaningful parts of volunteering with Community Medics is connecting with people of all ages to share the organisation’s mission and life-saving work
Last week volunteer Jolene Page brought that mission to life during a fun, interactive ‘show-and-tell” session at Cedar Crest Nursery School
The young learners were enthralled as she demonstrated the role of a medic and introduced them to the essential equipment used in emergencies
Later, Kim met with the Girl Guides of Table View to deliver an inspiring talk on how to respond in emergency situations
From knowing who to call to staying calm under pressure her message empowered the girls with knowledge and confidence
“The curiosity and enthusiasm from these bright young minds reminded us why community engagement is so important,” said Community Medics’ Craig von Essen
“Who knows? Today’s audience could be tomorrow’s volunteers!”
A big thank you to Cedar Crest Nursery School and the Girl Guides of Table View for welcoming us so warmly . If you ever face a medical emergency, don’t hesitate to call Community Medics on 087 230 0404.

Modern adaption of poignant play
Nothing is quite as it seems in Austrian Arthur Schnitzler s provocative play, La Ronde, coming to the Baxter Studio stage from Friday 20 June to Saturday 12 July, at 20:00 with Saturday matinees at 15:00
Written in 1897 this is a story of ten recognisable characters from different parts of society, all searching for escape and connection through sex
Director Leila Henriques locates the story with an all Fleur du Cap award-winning cast and creative team; Awethu Hleli, Lyle October Tamzin Daniels Nolufefe Ntshuntshe and Carlo Daniels, along with Berenice Barbier and Aidan Scott
In a world obsessed with visibility, image and performance, this modern adaptation of La Ronde probes a world where intimacy is currency, sex is a calculated strategy, and everyone is performing for someone La Ronde, French for "the round", refers to a dance performed in circle formation and also means "from
one person to another". It creates the perfect metaphor for Schnitzel s play, driven by raw physicality, pulsating contemporary music and visceral dance It takes a funny, provocative look at relationships now, delving into the complexities of power, desire and the relentless pursuit of connection. Through the ten characters and ten intimate encounters, it offers a sharp look at who holds power, who is exploited and who is seen.
The play is set in contemporary Cape Town and seen through the eyes of a DJ who finds the perfect track to cover each smooth or clumsy sexual encounter Far more than an erotic carousel, the play exposes the transactional nature of modern relationships, where the lines between agency, desire and self-worth are constantly blurred.
There is an age restriction of 16 years and parental guidance is advised.

THINKING OUT LOUD
j of information you consume You keep hearing people say that they heard a new movie was terrible instead of watching it themselves and offering their own unbiased opinion
Instead of freely being ourselves more people seem to latch onto the narrative of pop culture and join the "cool club" I m guilty of this too and I admit there are gems of handy advice glowing amid the "brain-rot" There's dates, delicious recipes and funny cat videos available with the swipe of a finger, but when do we
stop, reflect and allow some introspection before we fall prey to instant gratification and hits of dopamine?
It often seems more relaxing to enjoy a whole bag of crisps laying inside a warm bed binging Instagram reels or watching the latest series than finishing that new novel or completing our gym goals As a young adult enduring work traffic, deadlines, loneliness and dating disappointments, it s easy to become irritable and cynical and let our egos wreak havoc and become addicted to pleasing ourselves No pun intended there When we consider our dreams we may think have become dusty old toys we left on the shelf, but that's where the personal growth lies
We're quick to forget our progress when scrolling on social media and seeing someone who already has the kind of lifestyle we desire but hardly consider that we're only seeing a mirage someone has carefully curated to reflect their ideal selves to the world
We're obsessed with aesthetics and living life like celebrities and fear being seen as "cringe"
Especially young artists feeling exhausted about the hustle they endure creating their art and feeling upset about the views they receive and the bills that could care less about harmony and cinematography But remember, my friends, today Vincent Van Gogh's artworks are priceless despite his struggle in selling those beautiful paintings So enjoy the present tense and understand your work and legacy will live after you There's a beauty in floating in these chaotic seas of modern life, seeing how technology and social media has connected us to form relationships
Artist Tyler the Creator also constantly reminds artists and content creators to forget the numbers and publish their art because "you never know who's watching" -KEANANHARMSE

Wat soek sekere voertuie
op ons paaie?
Verduidelik asseblief aan die wetsgehoorsame padgebruikers van hierdie provinsie waarom voertuie wat geen eksterne sigbare identifikasie soos nommerplate en tydelike lisensies vertoon nie op ons paaie toegelaat word
Laat ek uitbrei: op Donderdag 5 Junie omstreeks 09:00 het drie voertuie sonder enige sigbare identifikasie in die rigting van Kaapstad in 'n konvooi deur Beaufort-Wes gery
Hierdie voertuie is deur provinsiale verkeersbeamptes vir n roetine-inspeksie aan die westekant van die dorp afgetrek
Toe die verkeersbeamtes gevra word of hierdie
voertuie wettig op die pad is, het hy gesê hulle het handelsnommerplate (trade plates) en is dus wettig op die pad Hierdie plate of enige ander identifikasie was nêrens van buite sigbaar nie en dit het hom geensins gepla nie
Die implikasies hiervan is baie duidelik Dink aan moontlike verkeersoortredings wat begaan kan word soos spoedoorstredings, verbysteek oor sperstrepe, die ignoreer van rooi verkeersligte en stopstrate, tref-entrap-botsings ensovoorts, wat dan nie aangemeld sal kan word nie
WETSGEHOORSAME PADGEBRUIKER, Durbanville
Dit word duur om in Kaapstad te woon
Ek verwys na “Pensioner & Property Owner, Northern Suburbs” se brief “Who benefits when property prices explode?” (TygerBurger 11 Junie)
Die skrywer van hierdie brief slaan die spyker op sy kop en ek kan nie anders as om volmondig met hom of haar saam te stem nie
Ja, die Kaapse metro word relatief beter as ander metro’s bestuur, maar dit kom teen ‘n prys – ‘n prys wat onbekostigbaar begin word
Die hersiene begroting gaan ons gewone burgers steeds finansieel knyp, al word ons gepaai met sekere drempels
Dit kom voor asof die Stad geldgierig word en juis dit gaan hom waarskynlik met volgende jaar se plaaslike
verkiesings tref
‘n Mens hoor en lees byna daagliks van ongelukkigheid onder die metro se inwoners weens die verhoogde tariewe, heffings en eiendomsbelasting en selfs ‘n nuwe heffing (wat nie geregverdig kan word nie)
Nietemin, die skrywer van vermelde brief het dit reeds opgesom
En net ter wille van perspektief: nee, ek wil nie hê die metro moet deur radikale politieke partye beheer word nie, maar dink dis tyd dat die huidige heersers in 'n koalisie moet bestuur om te verhoed dat hulle kan maak soos hulle wil
Daar sal dan opsies wees

Affordable shops finally closer to home
We arrived from Namibia and settled in Duynefontein, Melkbosstrand in 1986
Prices in Melkbosstrand with the few shops were so expensive But we went to Bothasig to buy all our supplies at Shoprite and Fruit & Veg in Flamingovlei
Then Shoprite in Bothasig closed down and Checkers opened a new business there We could not afford the high prices We changed to Checkers on Eden
Bay - but later with all the changes in the shop, prices became sky high
Shops like OK Foods, Pick n Pay and Woolworths are not for the poor people of Duynefontein or Melkbosstrand Luckily a new shop opened at Bayside Table
View - a Shoprite like the one that was years ago in Bothasig; their prices are amazing BLOSSOM VAN EEDEN-SPENCE, Duynefontein
Winter worsens road dangers
I recently drove down a road full of potholes and felt compelled to speak out The worsening condition of our local roads, especially during winter, is alarming Potholes have turned simple commutes into dangerous obstacle courses
After the recent rains the damage has only worsened This isn’t just about inconvenience or repair costs; it’s a growing safety risk How many more accidents must occur before road repairs are prioritised?
AURORA DANIELS, Milnerton
Safety is a constitutional right and not a privilege
Despite a rapidly growing population of over 90 000 residents spread across 184 km² and with crime on the rise, the Durbanville Police Station remains significantly under-resourced to ensure effective crime prevention, timely response to reported crimes and visible policing This is due to the ongoing failure of the national government through its centralised control of the police to allocate police capacity where it is needed
According to the Durbanville police, the officer to population ratio in 2023 stood at one police officer for every 858 residents This is significantly higher than the national average of 1:427 and nearly four times that of the United Nations recommended standard of one officer for every 220 people
The limited policing resources and the size of its jurisdiction impacts the Durbanville police's response times to reported crimes and the equitable delivery of policing services to all In 2023 alone, a total of 5 433 criminal cases were reported The residents of Durbanville have repeatedly raised their concerns about the delayed police response times to reported crimes and the insufficient police visibility in the face of growing safety risks
The unequal deployment of resources at Durbanville police raises concerns about its ability to fulfil its constitutional mandate In terms of section 205 (3) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, the objects of the police service are:
.To prevent combat and investigate crime;
. To maintain public order;
. To protect and secure the inhabitants of the Republic and their property and;
. To uphold and enforce the law
To address the current shortcomings, the following urgent interventions are proposed to the Minister of Police Mr Senzo Mchunu:
. The deployment of additional police personnel and operational resources to reduce the officer to population ratio;
. The upgrade of the Durbanville Police Station to Brigadier status to reflect its operational demands;
. The devolution of policing powers to capable provincial governments like the Western Cape and certain policing powers to the City of Cape Town Metro Police Service
This call to action is not criticism of the police officers at the Durbanville Police Station who continue to serve the community with dedication and professionalism It is rather a call for the deployment of additional resources to better equip them to enhance police services as envisaged in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, and the South African Police Service Act, No 68 of 1995
