ACCIDENT BRINGS RENEWED ATTENTION TO CIRCUIT

Racing driver Marcel Angel dies after crash KAILIN DANIELS KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

otorsport is mourning the death of racing driver Marcel Angel (62) after his car crashed through a wall at Killarney International Raceway in Cape Town during the Extreme Festival on Saturday 19 September. Angel, the owner of Cape Townbased Autohaus Angel, reportedly crashed his Ferrari at the end of the back straight, going through a wall near the entrance to the landfill site. The crash happened during Race 1 of the Extreme SuperCars Driven by Dunlop. He died in the incident. MEDICAL TEAMS RUSHED TO SCENE Killarney International Raceway said medical personnel and officials were immediately on the scene following the crash, but Angel tragically succumbed to his injuries. “The Killarney family are deeply saddened by the passing of experienced Supercar racer Marcel Angel during the Extreme Festival event at Killarney International Raceway on 19 September 2026,” the raceway said. The remainder of the Extreme

MOTORSPORT MOURNS CELEBRATED DRIVER AFTER KILLARNEY CRASH Festival event was cancelled out of respect for Angel’s family. Killarney extended its condolences to Angel’s wife, Mica, as well as his family and friends. “Our heartfelt condolences go out to Marcel’s wife Mica, his family and friends during this difficult time,” the raceway said. “May he rest in peace.” The fatal crash occurred as the Extreme Festival’s national roster returned to Killarney for its final coastal event of 2026. According to an eyewitness, one of the security guards at the landfill was also injured during the crash. Angel was a familiar name in local motorsport and had competed at Killarney in the Pirelli V8 Masters, as well as behind the wheel of an Autohaus Angel Ferrari. Motorsport South Africa records show him competing at Killarney in previous events. SECOND CRASH AT SAME WALL The fatal crash has also brought

renewed attention to the section of the Killarney circuit after another driver reportedly crashed through the same wall several months ago during a different racing event. The driver’s identity and the circumstances surrounding the earlier crash are not known to TygerBurger at this stage. WOLK TRAGEDY ADDS TO SOMBRE WEEKEND The Killarney racing community is also mourning the death of another driver, Robert Wolk, who was due to compete at the Killarney event over the weekend. Wolk, 41, was fatally shot in Kempton Park on Wednesday 16 September while preparing to travel to Cape Town for the race weekend. Gauteng police confirmed three suspects were arrested in connection to Wolk’s murder. His death has sent shockwaves through South African motorsport. TO PAGE 2

Officers injured . in street race KAILIN DANIELS

KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

wo City of Cape Town Traffic Services officers were injured and three City vehicles were damaged during an illegal street racing operation in Paarden Eiland on Thursday night, 17 September. According to the City’s Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith, officers arrested two motorists shortly after 23:00 for reckless and negligent driving and participating in an illegal street race. However, the racing resumed around midnight, resulting in a third arrest. Smith said the third driver was arrested for allegedly participating in illegal street racing, driving under the influence of alcohol, failing to stop and malicious damage to property after colliding with a traffic vehicle.

CROWD TURNS HOSTILE The situation escalated when officers attempted to impound the vehicle. Two officers sustained injuries during the incident. Maitland police were called to assist, allowing officers to pursue the vehicle they had attempted to impound. The vehicle had subsequently been towed away from the scene. Police arrested the driver behind the wheel of the towed vehicle on charges including riotous behaviour, intimidation, threatening a peace officer, hindering and obstructing a peace officer and inciting violence. “When officers tried to take the vehicle, the crowd of spectators became hostile and damaged two more traffic vehicles – one vehicle had its side and rear windows smashed,” Smith said. All four suspects were detained at Maitland Police Station, while the three vehicles allegedly used in the illegal street

races were impounded under the City’s traffic by-law. Marine Drive was eventually cleared at 01:45.Smith condemned the incident, saying there was no justification for breaking the law and attacking officials enforcing it. “I am deeply disturbed by the attack on our Traffic Services during an illegal street racing operation in Paarden Eiland last night,” he said. “The behaviour of those involved in this fracas is yet another example of the lawlessness that exists on our roads and in our society. There can be no justification for breaking the law and then attacking the very people who are employed to serve and protect by enforcing those laws.” The City is offering a reward for information that leads to the arrest of people who attacked its enforcement staff. Smith urged anyone with information to come forward. “I call on anyone with information to please come forward.” Anonymous tips can be submitted 24 hours a day on 0800 110 077.

Crypto traders in court after arrests KAILIN DANIELS

KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

ne of two men described as “crypto traders” following their arrest in Parklands was back in the Cape Town Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday 16 September, as questions continue over a luxury Mercedes-Benz linked to the case. The suspect remains in custody after the matter was postponed for further representations, according to MP Nicholas Gotsell. “One of the crypto traders is back in court, but the matter was postponed for further representations while he remains in custody,” Gotsell said. “The other crypto knight, however, is out on bail.” The case follows a City of Cape Town operation in Parklands in which nine people were arrested and two vehicles were impounded. Gotsell has raised questions about one of the vehicles, a Mercedes-Benz GLE, which he says was allegedly registered as a white BMW. “I have submitted parliamentary questions to the Minister of Police to establish whose name the Mercedes is registered in and why that vehicle has still not been claimed,” he said. He is also questioning how the vehicle came to be in the possession of the men arrested. “We must establish why the owner allowed these young guys, with no fixed addresses or valid papers to be in the country, to drive the car … and how they paid to ‘rent’ it,” Gotsell said. The investigation into the Mercedes and its ownership is separate from the court proceedings against the accused, with questions about who owns the vehicle and

QUESTIONS REMAIN OVER LUXURY VEHICLES ALLEGEDLY LINKED TO THE CASE how it was obtained still to be established. PARKLANDS OPERATION The arrests followed a crime-fighting operation in Parklands involving the City’s Metro Police Department, Neighbourhood Safety Officers and other law-enforcement personnel. According to information previously provided by the City, nine people were arrested during the operation and two vehicles were impounded. The operation formed part of increased enforcement efforts in the area, amid concerns about drug-related crime and other criminal activity. Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis previously raised concerns about people presenting themselves as “crypto” and “forex” traders while allegedly becoming involved in criminal activity. He also questioned the use of expensive vehicles by some of those targeted during enforcement operations. The Mercedes-Benz GLE has subsequently become a particular point of interest in the case, with questions now being raised about its registration and ownership. CRIME INTELLIGENCE QUESTIONED The arrests also prompted broader questions about intelligence-led policing and how criminal networks operating in the area are identified. Mayco member for safety and security

JP Smith previously described the situation as pointing to what he called a “substantial failure of crime intelligence”. Smith has also referred to the possible use of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act (POCA) in cases where assets or vehicles may be linked to criminal activity. The City has previously said it is working to strengthen its policing capabilities, including plans for a dedicated Metro Police Detectives Unit. The unit is intended to strengthen investigations and improve the ability of the City’s law-enforcement structures to follow up on cases and intelligence gathered during operations. POLICE RESPONSE The concerns around crime intelligence have also drawn a response from the police. Acting Western Cape Police Commissioner Maj Gen Luyanda Damoyi has previously addressed the issue of cooperation between law-enforcement agencies and the sharing of intelligence. The police’s response comes amid continued debate over the respective roles of the City’s law-enforcement agencies and the national police service in tackling organised and drug-related crime. For now, the focus in the Parklands matter remains on the court proceedings and the allegations facing the accused. The outstanding questions around the Mercedes-Benz GLE, including who it is registered to, why it was allegedly being used by the accused and whether its ownership has any relevance to the criminal investigation, remain to be answered. Gotsell said he would continue seeking answers through Parliament.

Flandorp Site activity Roadworks underway in Blaauwberg district prompts questions KAILIN DANIELS

Civil engineering work is underway at the Flandorp site in Table View, with containers and construction equipment now on the property.

KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

ivil engineering work is underway at the Flandorp site in Table View after residents alerted ward 113 councillor Sue van der Linde to activity at the property. Containers have been placed on the site and construction equipment, including a JCB, was operating on the land when Van der Linde visited. The councillor said she had been contacted by residents on the morning of the activity and subsequently spoke to a person identifying himself as the site manager. “He tells me that he does have approved civil plans to lay down the foundations of sewerage equipment, etc,” Van der Linde said. CITY TO CONFIRM She said she had already contacted the City of Cape Town to alert officials to the work and would seek confirmation of what had been approved. “Obviously, I’m going to follow that up with the City. I have already emailed them this morning, alerting them to the activity here,” she said. Van der Linde urged residents to remain patient while she sought further information from the City. “But let’s find out what the actual story is from the City first,” she said. “I ask residents, please, just do be patient. The minute I have an answer, I’ll put it out there.” CITY CONFIRMS CIVIL ENGINEERING

RESIDENTS QUERY WARD COUNCILLOR ABOUT CIVIL ENGINEERING WORK WORK An update on the site has since confirmed that the work currently being carried out is civil engineering work. The City has granted conditional approval for certain aspects of the development, including the installation of a DPC barrier along the Pond 3 wall where it abuts the neighbouring boundary. Approval has also been granted for the design, layout, specifications and details relating specifically to the water and sewer connections and external municipal services for the development, subject to conditions.

One of those conditions relates to the proposed private wastewater treatment package plant. Approval for the plant still needs to be obtained from the relevant national and City of Cape Town departments. The current approval therefore relates to specified civil and municipal service works, rather than representing unrestricted approval for all aspects of the development. Van der Linde said she would continue monitoring the situation and providing residents with updates as more information becomes available. The development has attracted attention from residents, making clarity around the scope of the approved work an important part of ongoing communication between the community, the councillor and the relevant authorities.

Motorists and residents across the Blaauwberg district can expect roadworks and possible delays as the City of Cape Town begins resurfacing roads in several suburbs. The City’s Urban Mobility Directorate has started work in Rugby, Brooklyn, Milnerton, Summer Greens, Mamre, Protea Park, Melkbosstrand and Marconi Beam. The work is taking place from 08:00 to 17:00, Monday to Saturday, and is scheduled to continue until Saturday 14 November, weather permitting and provided there are no unforeseen delays.

ROADS ACROSS EIGHT AREAS AFFECTED In Rugby, resurfacing is taking place along Narwhal Street, Egret Street, Chamois Street and Palmetto Street. Work in Brooklyn includes Kings Road, Wren Street, Alwin Street, Kalmah Street, Corah Street, Van der Stel Avenue and Fenwick Street. In Milnerton, Langerman Avenue, Graaff Avenue and Norwood Road are among the roads affected, while work in Summer Greens includes Summer Greens Drive as well as the slip lane off Bosmansdam Road. Resurfacing will also take place on Louwskloof Road in Mamre, Acacia Crescent and Aster Crescent in Protea Park, Wesfleur, and Beach Road and 6th Avenue, Melkbosstrand. In Marconi Beam work will take place on Omuramba Road between the Racecourse Road intersection and Bosmansdam Road.

NIGHT WORK PLANNED Additional night work is scheduled in Melkbosstrand and Marconi Beam, with construction taking place between 19:30 and 05:30. Mayco member for Urban Mobility Rob Quintas said regular road maintenance was necessary to keep roads in good condition and extend their life span. “Regular road maintenance is necessary to keep our roads in good condition, extend their life span and, importantly, [play their part in keeping] Cape Town moving,” he said. He acknowledged roadworks could cause disruption for residents and road users and urged motorists to plan ahead and allow additional travel time where necessary. “We know roadworks can cause some disruption to residents and road users, and we appreciate everyone’s patience as well as their cooperation while our teams undertake this necessary work.”

MOTORISTS URGED TO TAKE CARE Residents and road users have been advised to exercise caution when travelling through affected areas and to allow for possible delays. The City said the maintenance programme was aimed at keeping roads in good condition and improving the life span of the existing road network. A sincere appeal is made to motorists to plan their routes as far ahead of time as possible and to take extra care around construction areas while the work is underway.

Milnerton Beach drilling starts D

rilling for the first wells at Milnerton Beach has begun as the City of Cape Town moves ahead with a pilot project aimed at improving water quality and environmental conditions in the Milnerton Lagoon. The drilling, which started on 16 September, is expected to continue for about two weeks, with water from beneath the beach expected to start being introduced into the lagoon in early October. The City says the pilot will test whether saline groundwater can be abstracted from beneath the beach and pumped into the upper lagoon to improve flushing, dilute pollutant concentrations and increase dissolved oxygen and salinity. Residents and beachgoers can expect to see vehicles and construction activity around the designated work areas while the wells are being installed. The project will be followed by a six-month monitoring and evaluation period during which the City says water quality, environmental conditions and the technical performance of the system will be closely monitored. “The commencement of drilling marks an important milestone in the City’s efforts to find practical and evidence-based solutions for the Milnerton Lagoon,” said Deputy Mayor and Mayco member for spatial planning and environment Eddie Andrews. Andrews said the information gathered during the trial would help determine the future of the intervention. The City has asked beachgoers to avoid the work areas while drilling is underway. It will also continue working with affected

stakeholders, including the Milnerton Golf Club and Sunset Links Homeowners Association. According to the City, construction activities will be managed in accordance with applicable environmental requirements and an approved Environmental Method Statement. The Beach Wells Project is being implemented under the requirements of a Section 28(4) Directive issued in terms of the National Environmental Management Act, with environmental monitoring, reporting and oversight forming part of the trial. DREDGING DREW BACKLASH The beach wells project forms part

of a broader programme to restore the Milnerton Lagoon. The City has previously outlined a multi-pronged strategy involving sewer and pump-station upgrades, water-quality monitoring and other interventions. However, proposed dredging of the lagoon has previously faced criticism from some residents and environmental voices, who questioned whether the intervention could alter the character of the lagoon and whether dredged material could create additional environmental concerns. Gregory Nortje, an architect who has lived alongside the lagoon on Woodbridge Island for three decades, previously called for the dredging plans to be delayed while other infrastructure upgrades

were completed and alternative options for dealing with dredged material were investigated. “We are not asking them to ditch the project,” Nortje said previously, “but simply to hold off until all the infrastructure projects have been completed and to investigate other options so that everyone can win.” He also expressed concern about the proposed method of dredging and the potential impact of depositing material along the lagoon's banks. “This beautiful wide body of water will be reduced to an ugly, muddy thing which no one wants,” he said. Nortje's comments reflected concerns previously raised by some residents about the proposed dredging approach. He said the issue was not whether the lagoon should be restored, but how the restoration should be carried out. WIDER RESTORATION PLAN The City has maintained that its various interventions are aimed at addressing pollution and improving the lagoon over the long term. Previous municipal statements have pointed to sewer upgrades, pump-station improvements and ongoing monitoring as part of the wider strategy. The City says no decision has yet been made on the long-term future of the beach wells intervention. Instead, the six-month trial will provide data that officials will use to assess whether the system is effective and whether it should be continued, changed or stopped. For now, residents and beach users can expect visible activity along Milnerton Beach as drilling gets underway.

Water quality ‘stable’ near outfalls KAILIN DANIELS

CITY SAYS SEWAGE MARINE OUTFALLS ARE WITHIN PRESCRIBED GUIDELINES

KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

ater quality around Cape Town’s three sewage marine outfalls remains generally stable and within prescribed guidelines, according to the City ’s latest monitoring results. The City says 98.6% of 513 seawater samples collected between April and June met water quality guidelines, with seven samples recording higher-thanallowed levels of enterococci, a type of bacteria used as an indicator of faecal contamination. The results, presented at the Permit Advisory Forum on Friday 21 August, cover monitoring around the Camps Bay, Green Point and Hout Bay marine outfalls. The City says most of the exceedances were detected close to the outfall outlets, while only one was recorded outside the edge of the designated mixing zone at a mid-shore monitoring site. The latest findings are broadly consistent with the results recorded over the previous two years, which the City says indicate generally stable coastal water quality around the three outfalls.

LATEST RESULTS Mayco member for water and sanitation Zahid Badroodien said the results were encouraging but warned against complacency. “While the findings show that water quality around the marine outfalls remains largely within guideline standards, we are not complacent,” Badroodien said. He said protecting and improving the health of Cape Town’s marine environment remained a priority, with the City continuing its monitoring programme and assessing future treatment solutions.

One instance of acute toxicity was also detected at a Camps Bay monitoring site in May, according to the City. The City says the monitoring programme is intended to provide ongoing scientific information about the condition of coastal waters around the marine outfalls and to inform future decisions about wastewater infrastructure. EFFLUENT UNDER SCRUTINY The City is also continuing to test the quality of effluent discharged through the three marine outfalls. For the April to June quarter, the City’s own grab-sample results recorded compliance with current Coastal Water Discharge limits of 88.7% at Camps Bay, 86% at Green Point and 99.4% at Hout Bay. Independent external laboratory composite-sample results recorded higher compliance rates of 97.9% at Camps Bay, 97.2% at Green Point and 97.9% at Hout Bay. The figures form part of the City’s ongoing reporting and monitoring obligations around the three outfalls. Meanwhile, the City says its programme to refurbish and strengthen the three marine outfall systems is progressing. The refurbishment contract began on 14 January 2026, while a construction work permit covering the three outfall pump stations was issued in April. The City says

equipment procurement is underway, with key mechanical and electrical equipment, including pumps, screens and washer compactors, expected to be delivered and installed. The refurbishment forms part of the City’s medium-term plans for the systems between 2026 and 2028. LONG-TERM TREATMENT The City is also investigating alternatives to the current marine outfall system, including additional treatment processes. It says 60 potential design options have been assessed and narrowed down to nine viable scenarios. The preferred long-term concept includes biological treatment using activated sludge bioreactors and sludge management, followed by advanced treatment aimed at addressing contaminants of emerging concern. The feasibility study is about 85% complete, with the final report expected by the end of September. Any long-term solution will depend on the outcome of the feasibility study, environmental authorisations and available funding. ACTIONSA AWAITS OUTCOME The latest City findings come amid continued criticism from ActionSA over the use of marine outfalls. ActionSA has previously challenged the City’s compliance with permit conditions and has raised concerns about the discharge of wastewater into the ocean. The party has also pursued regulatory and legal avenues relating to the outfalls. ActionSA said it was still awaiting an outcome in a matter lodged in 2024 concerning allegations that the City had

breached environmental permit conditions and regulations. The City, however, maintains that its marine outfalls are subject to monitoring and regulation and that coastal water quality remains generally stable. The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment has previously confirmed that wastewater discharge into coastal waters is regulated through Coastal Waters Discharge Permits. The City has also expanded its coastal monitoring programme to include wastewater treatment works at Mitchells Plain, Simon’s Town, Millers Point, Llandudno and Oudekraal. The expanded monitoring is intended to assess environmental impacts associated with treated effluent discharges and compliance with recently issued Coastal Water Discharge Permits. For residents and beach users, the City’s latest results provide reassurance that the monitored coastal waters around the three marine outfalls remain largely within the applicable water quality guidelines, while longer-term treatment options continue to be investigated.

Clean-ups alone won’t save coastline KAILIN DANIELS

KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

he next plastic bottle to wash up on a beach may already be somewhere inland, lying beside a road, trapped in a stormwater drain or tangled in reeds along a river, waiting for the next heavy downpour to carry it towards the ocean. Across Table View, Milnerton and other parts of Cape Town’s coastline, beach clean-ups have become a familiar sight. Volunteers walk the sand with gloves and bags, collecting bottles, food packaging, bottle tops, fishing line, lollipop sticks and fragments of plastic that have accumulated along the shoreline. For a few hours, the beaches look cleaner. But the problem does not necessarily end when the bags are taken away. After heavy rain, more litter can be swept through streets and stormwater systems, into rivers and canals and eventually towards the coast. Some of it may have travelled kilometres before the tide deposits it on the sand. That means the plastic found on Cape Town’s beaches can be the final visible stage of a much longer journey, one that begins in neighbourhoods far from the shoreline. For Save A Fishie founder Zoë Prinsloo, who has spent years cleaning Milnerton Lagoon and surrounding beaches, the sheer volume of plastic is impossible to ignore. “I’ve been cleaning Milnerton Lagoon now for six, seven years... plastics, singleuse earbud sticks, lollipop sticks, bottle tops... we see it everywhere, not just Lagoon beach,” Prinsloo said. “It’s insane the amount that has gathered.” The question is no longer simply how to clean the beach. It is how to stop the plastic from making the journey to the beach in the first place. THE BEACH IS WHERE WE SEE THE PROBLEM Cape Town’s coastline stretches across a vast and varied urban area, but many of its beaches share a common problem: they are connected to what happens inland. Rainwater flowing through streets and stormwater drains can carry litter into canals and rivers, while illegal dumping, loose waste and poorly contained rubbish can provide a steady supply of material for the next rainfall event. In the Milnerton and Table View area, the Diep River and Milnerton Lagoon provide a particularly clear example of how that connection works. The lagoon sits within a wider catchment that includes stormwater infrastructure, canals, roads and surrounding communities. When heavy rain falls, material from these areas can

Waste is intercepted in a river before it can continue downstream and reach the ocean.

A discarded plastic bottle on the shoreline is a reminder of the waste that can travel from inland areas to the sea.

INLAND LITTER WILL EVENTUALLY WASH INTO THE SEA be transported towards waterways and eventually the coastline. Environmental activist Caroline Marx, founder of ReThinkTheStink, has repeatedly highlighted the connection. After heavy rain brought large amounts of rubbish onto Milnerton Beach, Marx said: “All this trash on Milnerton Beach was washed out of the Black/Salt River by the rains.” Her observation points to a wider reality for Cape Town. The beach is often where the pollution becomes visible, rather than where it begins. The City of Cape Town has introduced several measures intended to stop solid waste before it reaches waterways and the ocean. Litter traps have been installed at stormwater outfalls in areas including Milnerton, Royal Ascot, Joe Slovo and Phoenix. The City has also used interim waste interceptors in the Diep, Black and Salt rivers and the Jakkelsvlei Canal. The interventions are designed to capture solid waste before it can continue downstream. The City is also upgrading infrastructure across the catchment, including pump stations, sewer networks and stormwater systems. Projects include upgrades at the Koeberg Road, Phoenix, Dunoon and Sanddrift East pump stations, while work at Milky Way Pond is aimed at improving stormwater quality before it reaches the Diep River. A stormwater master plan is also being developed for Dunoon and Doornbach, where the City has identified inadequate formal stormwater and sewer infrastructure, illegal sewer connections and greywater entering streets and stormwater drains as contributors to pollution. The projects form part of a broader attempt to deal with pollution before it reaches Cape Town’s coastline. CATCHING PLASTIC BEFORE IT REACHES THE SEA

The Litterboom Project has built its work around this principle through what it calls a “Source to Sea” approach, which combines river interception with education and efforts to change behaviour. Founder Cameron Service has described the philosophy behind the work: “We don’t believe in a few people doing things perfectly, but rather everyone making an effort imperfectly.” Floating barriers are used to collect waste travelling downstream, allowing it to be removed, sorted and, where possible, recycled before reaching the ocean. The idea is simple: intervene earlier. Dr Jaime Leigh Johnson, a marine

Schools joined the Eco Schools Challenge, with learners helping remove litter from Cape Town’s coastline.

The Litterboom Project works upstream to capture plastic and other waste travelling through Cape Town’s waterways.

and conservation scientist at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, has been involved in research examining microplastic pollution in South African aquatic environments. A 2026 study involving Johnson found microplastics in 98% of samples collected from rocky tidal pools at Nature’s Valley, including seawater, sand, seaweed and invertebrates. Johnson was also involved in a 2023 study examining microplastics in urban and peri-urban mangrove ecosystems in South Africa, where microplastics were detected in water, sediment and the tissues of invertebrates. The research highlights why the plastic problem cannot be measured only by what can be seen on a beach. A bottle on the sand can be removed. Plastic that has fragmented into tiny particles and entered water, sediment or organisms is a far more complicated problem. FROM TABLE VIEW STREETS TO THE DIEP RIVER For residents of Table View, Milnerton and surrounding suburbs, however, the problem is not confined to laboratories or environmental reports. It can be seen around waterways and stormwater infrastructure, particularly after rainfall. Table View resident Lance Rautenbach said: “We have started buying less singleuse plastic where we can. We use reusable shopping bags and water bottles, and we try to buy products with less packaging. It feels like a small thing, but if thousands of households do it, surely that must reduce the amount of plastic entering the waste

stream. I recycle because I believe it is the right thing to do, but recycling cannot be the only solution.” Cape Town’s beaches may look like the end of the story, but they are often only where the story becomes visible. The City is working on stormwater, sewer and pump-station infrastructure and has introduced litter traps and other interception measures. Community organisations are removing waste from the coastline, river projects are attempting to intercept plastic upstream, and scientists are documenting what happens to the plastic that cannot simply be picked up. But the recurring litter along Cape Town’s coastline leaves an uncomfortable question after every clean-up: What happens after the volunteers go home? The answer may be unfolding several kilometres away. It may be a plastic bottle lying beside a road in Table View, a wrapper caught in a stormwater drain in another suburb, or a bag tangled in vegetation beside a river. It may sit there unnoticed until the next heavy rain turns streets into channels and channels into rivers. Then it starts moving. Through Cape Town’s stormwater network. Into its rivers and canals. Towards its lagoons and estuaries. And eventually, towards the sea. By the time that piece of plastic reaches the beach, it is no longer just litter. It is evidence of everything that happened upstream. And that is why the future of Cape Town’s beaches may depend on what happens far beyond the shoreline, in the streets, drains, rivers and communities where the next piece of plastic is already waiting for the rain.

Golden Arrow commuters to pay more KAILIN DANIELS

KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

Commuters using Golden Arrow Bus Services (GABS) will face higher fares from Monday 28 September, after the company announced an average 4.5% increase on selected cash fares. The fare adjustment will mainly affect passengers paying cash for off-peak journeys, while most peak-period fares and Gold Card multi-journey products will remain unchanged. TARGETED INCREASE According to GABS, the increase has been limited to selected fares in an effort to reduce the impact on commuters who rely on the bus service during peak travel periods. Off-peak cash fares, which apply

to journeys between 08:00 and 16:00, will see increases, while most peak cash fares will remain at their current levels. Selected peak fares will, however, also be adjusted. GABS spokesperson Bronwen Dyke-Beyer said the company had opted for a targeted adjustment rather than increasing fares across the board. The company said it had absorbed a significant portion of the increases in its operating costs, but could no longer absorb all of the additional expenses without making adjustments to some fares.

GABS said these products continued to provide commuters with savings compared with paying cash for individual journeys, with discounts of up to 45% available on certain products. The reusable GABS Gold Card costs R40 as a once-off purchase. The Go Easy multi-journey products currently include five rides for R134, 10 rides for R248.50 and 48 rides for R1 093. The products can be used on almost all GABS routes, giving regular commuters an alternative to paying the increased cash fares.

GOLD CARD FARES UNCHANGED Passengers who use Gold Card multi-journey products will not be affected by the increase.

RISING COST OF RUNNING BUSES The fare increase comes as public transport operators continue to face higher operating

costs, including fuel, vehicle maintenance, spare parts, tyres and labour. GABS said it had made efforts to contain these costs and protect commuters from increases for as long as possible. The company previously said in March that commuters would not face an immediate fare increase despite rising fuel costs, indicating that it was absorbing the additional expense at the time. The latest adjustment means commuters who continue paying cash, particularly those travelling outside peak periods, will now have to factor the higher fares into their daily transport costs. GABS has encouraged regular passengers to consider its multijourney products as a way of

reducing the cost of individual trips.

NEW FARES AVAILABLE FROM WEDNESDAY Passengers wanting to know exactly how the increase will affect their particular route will be able to obtain the new fare information from the GABS Transport Information Centre. The information will be available from Wednesday 23 September by calling 0800 65 64 63. The company said the targeted nature of the increase meant that not all commuters would experience a fare change, with Gold Card multi-journey users and most peak-period cash passengers protected from the adjustment.

Optometrist rolls out specs subsidy for seniors MJ Alli Optometrist has announced the rollout of its “Sassa Eyecare” outreach project. With the rising cost of living in South Africa, medical expenses are often the ﬁrst to be deprioritised by households under ﬁnancial strain. However, poor vision in the elderly is directly linked to increased risks of cataracts, social isolation, and a decline in lifestyle. This social responsibility initiative subsidises the cost of glasses,.

“Clear vision is not a luxury; it is a necessity for safety” — MJ Alli “Clear vision is not a luxury; it is a necessity for safety, independence, and quality of life,” said the business owner, MJ Alli. “We were seeing too many seniors struggling with outdated prescriptions or, worse, no glasses at all because they couldn’t aﬀord

the steep costs associated with private eye care. We decided it was time to step up and give back to the community that has supported us.” ACCESSIBILITY AND EASE OF APPLICATION Eligible pensioners may present their valid Sassa card and South African ID at the Brooklyn branch in Milnerton to qualify for this oﬀer. The package includes a professional eye test to ensure

prescriptions are accurate and up to date. Following the assessment, patients can select a frame of their choice to the value of R450, which includes two clear lenses fitted into the selected frame. This offer applies to Single Vision, Bifocal, and Multifocal lenses. “We wanted to ensure that the process is dignified and straightforward,” he stated. “There’s no red tape. The Sassa card and ID are the only requirements. If you are a Sassa grant recipient, you

qualify. It’s that simple. We want to welcome our seniors into a friendly environment where they don’t feel judged by their budget.” The process has been designed to be as simple and hassle-free as possible. Patients may book appointments via telephone at 021 510 0805, or by visiting the store located at 32 Koeberg Road, Brooklyn, where staﬀ members are ready to assist with scheduling. For more information, visit www.mjallioptometrist.com

2 CITYNEWS MyCiTi’s first ‘battery bus’ being piloted The first of 38 MyCiTi battery-electric buses – dubbed ‘Evie’ – has arrived and is being piloted on various routes. The aim is to see how the electric vehicle performs on steep inclines and downhill, in the stopand-go environment of the city, in heavy peak-hour traffic, and over longer distances. The rest of the buses are expected this year for operational roll-out to the metro southeast in 2027. The 12 m Volvo BZRLE battery-electric buses are the first MyCiTi vehicles with bodies designed and manufactured in South Africa. Test drive The pilot is undertaken in collaboration with the University of Cape Town and is funded by the City and through a grant from the Urban Electric Mobility Initiative (UEMI). It will assess battery performance, energy consumption, charging times, passenger loading, route profiles, and the impact of Cape Town’s climate on vehicle performance. Apart from determining the vehicles’ suitability, the findings of the pilot will also help refine operational planning, including charging strategies, maintenance requirements and driver training.

Making progress possible. Together.

Let’s continue climbing because the best is yet to come

s we approach the end of this five-year term of office, it is hard to believe how quickly the time has passed. It feels like only yesterday that I stepped into this job. Yet when I look at what we have achieved, it’s also been a remarkably busy five years. Cape Town is, undeniably, in a better place today than it was five years ago. We have added 418 000 new jobs – almost half of all jobs created across South Africa’s eight metros. We have made unprecedented investments in the infrastructure that makes our city work, from water and sanitation to electricity, roads, public transport, sports facilities and libraries. We have replaced and upgraded hundreds of kilometres of ageing sewer infrastructure, cutting sewer spills by a third. We have trained and deployed 1 380 new Law Enforcement and Metro Police officers, expanded our Safe Space shelters, delivered more state-subsidised homes than any other metro, and extended the MyCiTi network into the Cape Flats. We have also laid the foundations for a more resilient future – reducing our reliance on Eskom, cutting red tape for businesses and

their city is moving forward. And we are only getting started. Our plans for the years ahead are even bigger, including 700 MW of new independent power, hundreds of thousands more jobs, further expansion of affordable housing, continued investment in infrastructure, and South Africa’s ﬁrst Metro Police detective branch. We will continue pushing for passenger rail devolution and keep working to make Cape Town the easiest place in Africa to start and grow a business. Five years ago, we set out to make Cape Town a city of hope – a beacon of what is possible when people choose to build, invest and believe in the future. Today, I believe we can conﬁdently say that Cape Town is that beacon. There is still a long way to climb, but we have proven that progress is possible. And with the support of Cape Town’s resilient, talented and determined people, I am more optimistic than ever that we’ll reach the summit. Cape Town is stronger. Cape Town is building. Cape Town’s best days are still ahead.

Manzi drops in on nearly 100 schools For 2026 to date, the City’s water mascot, Manzi, has visited just under 100 schools across town to build water awareness among Cape Town’s youth. Through song, dance, interactive games and quizzes, the children learn about responsible water use and how they can help conserve water through smart habits at home, school and in their communities. The educational programme forms part of ongoing efforts to educate communities about water security and the need to adapt to the impacts of climate change. It also offers an opportunity to explain what the City is doing to diversify its water supply to reduce reliance on rainfall-dependent sources, including water reuse, desalination and other innovations.

Milnerton lagoon on the mend Cleaner water and returning marine life are encouraging signs of recovery

he long-term project to restore the Milnerton lagoon is delivering positive results. This is largely the result of ongoing investment in sewer and wastewater infrastructure in the wider Diep river catchment, preventing pollution and nutrient build-up.

Sewers and efﬂuent being sorted Preventative sewer maintenance remains a priority, with more than 31 km of sewer pipelines proactively cleaned across the catchment in 2025/26. Sewer rehabilitation continues across Milnerton, Century City and Montague Gardens. The Potsdam wastewater plant – a major focus in efforts to improve the quality of water discharged into the Diep river – recently achieved two consecutive weeks of 100% compliance across all efﬂuent quality parameters. Real-time monitoring of all 56 pump stations in the Potsdam catchment also enables faster fault detection. A number of pump station upgrades are at various stages of completion, including

at Koeberg Road, Dunoon, Phoenix, Table View East and Sanddrift East.

Encouraging signs Recent monitoring points to better water quality in the lagoon. Winter rainfall, along

with recovering estuary conditions, has seen salinity and sediment levels improve. Marine life also seems to be returning to the catchment area, as seen with the recen capture of a southern mullet high up the Diep river. Since monitoring of ambient air quality in the lagoon area started in February, the World Health Organization’s daily guideline for foul-smelling hydrogen sulphide has not been exceeded. Continued improvements in wastewater treatment and sewer system performance should further reduce any odour impacts. Dredging somewhat delayed Although environmental authorisation for dredging of the lagoon has been granted, eight appeals have been lodged. A ﬁnal decision is expected later in 2026. Should the authorisation be upheld, dredging is expected to commence in early 2027. Planning for saline water ingress has been completed and implementation depends on the issuing of a section 28 directive in terms of the National Environmental Management Act.

The timber balustrades are being replaced with galvanised steel ones, damaged concrete piers are being repaired, and all concrete surfaces are receiving a protective coating. Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the construction period, although portions of the walkway may be temporarily closed off. If so, pedestrians will be directed towards the opposite walkway or alternative routes.

Come on, summer! Cape Town will kick off the summer holiday season

with the Mother City’s largest, free open-air concert on the Grand Parade on Sunday 29 November. Locals and visitors can again look forward to a vibrant celebration of music, culture and community, culminating in the ofﬁcial switch-on of the festive lights along Adderley and Darling streets. Last year’s event attracted a record crowd of more than 100 000 people. The full entertainment line-up and programme details will be announced in the weeks leading up to the event. Keep an eye on news channels or visit eventsincapetown.com.

In a clean-up operation in Langa in May, community members took ownership of their area, removing more than 200 bags of litter from the stormwater system and clearing over 20 drains. The initiative was driven by non-proﬁt Abahlobo Ekuhlaleni and made possible by City grant funding. The clean-up formed part of the organisation’s broader drain restoration and water-saving campaign implemented between February and June. Environmental restoration efforts

were combined with community education on waste management practices to help prevent ﬂooding, pollution and unhealthy living conditions in the Lower Salt river subcatchment. Abahlobo Ekuhlaleni also trained 30 community volunteers as ‘water guardians’ to champion environmental stewardship, reached 500 households with its water-saving message, and demonstrated practical greywater reuse methods to residents.

City calls for Annandale proposals The City is inviting developers to submit proposals for an innovative affordable housing development on the Annandale site, Milnerton. Submissions close on 21 October 2026. The 71,8 ha site, valued at R256 million, forms part of the City’s accelerated land release programme. The programme aims to unlock well-located municipal land for the provision of affordable housing opportunities through public–private partnerships. Affordable housing caters to households earning between R3 500 and R34 400 per month, who represent

one of the fastest-growing segments of housing demand in Cape Town. Building a community Strategically located along the N7, the Annandale site is ideal for the development of an integrated mixeduse, mixed-income neighbourhood. The vision is to provide affordable housing alongside other residential development, commercial and retail opportunities, educational facilities, community services, transport infrastructure and quality public open spaces.

City grant funding for 2025/26 – ran a successful community campaign in Langa, taking action to keep the area’s stormwater system clear, stamp out pollution and help conserve scarce water resources.

Treatment plants get high praise Green Drop certiﬁcation and gold status conﬁrm outstanding performance

tlantis’s Wesfleur wastewater treatment works (WWTW) is one of only 14 wastewater plants nationally that have received Green Drop certification from the national Department of Water and Sanitation. Certification acknowledges exceptional management, operations and maintenance. Got their Drops in a row What’s more, the Wesfleur WWTW was also awarded gold status for achieving certification in two consecutive assessment cycles. The WWTW comprises two separate activated-sludge plants for industrial and domestic wastewater respectively. Treated effluent from the domestic plant is used to recharge the Atlantis aquifer – a strategic resource that boosts the supply of

drinking water to Atlantis and surrounding communities. Microbiological, chemical and physical compliance levels at Wesﬂeur have been consistently high throughout the assessment period.

And number two, too Area North also delivered the province’s Green Drop runner-up, Kraaifontein WWTW, which serves Kraaifontein and Durbanville.

Milnerton sewers in rehab

Construction on the rehabilitation of 5,3 km of sewer pipes in Milnerton started in June. The R12 million project should be completed by March 2027, when residents will benefit from a more reliable sewer network. Depending on site conditions, a combination of trenchless and open-trench techniques will be used to rehabilitate the pipelines, ranging from 150 mm to 300 mm in diameter. Work will occur across several roads, including Oleander, Nerina, Mimosa, Lobelia, Keurboom, Graaff, Ixia, Heather, Gousblom, Freesia, Ascot, Disa and Crasula streets, Gardenia Crescent, Bergonia Close, Langerman Avenue and Erica Way (all located in the purple-shaded area on the map alongside). Residents may experience temporary traffic disruptions, including stop-and-go traffic control, lane restrictions and short-term road closures.

Home Affairs now serving in the Civic Cape Town is now the first municipality to host an office of the national Department of Home Affairs, where clients enjoy the convenience of being served on an appointment basis. The recently opened office is located on the second floor of the Civic Centre in Hertzog Boulevard in central Cape Town.

Child nutrition programme expands KAILIN DANIELS

KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

ift of the Givers has launched a major nutritional support programme targeting vulnerable young children and early childhood development (ECD) centres across the Western Cape, as the organisation steps up its response to food insecurity and malnutrition. The organisation’s programme comes alongside ongoing efforts to provide nutritional support to babies, young children and families experiencing financial hardship. Gift of the Givers said its work is focused on communities where unemployment and food insecurity leave families struggling to provide nutritious meals for their children. “Backing the global fight against hunger, our aim is to contribute tellingly in the quest to save the lives of the starving and malnourished - human or animal,” the organisation said. SUPPORT REACHES RURAL COMMUNITIES The organisation has recently worked with healthcare clinics across the Western Cape to distribute baby cereal donated by Nestlé. Following flooding in parts of the province, Gift of the Givers teams continued supporting vulnerable communities in the Breede Valley District and Cape Winelands, where many seasonal farm workers were affected by unemployment, food insecurity and malnutrition. Working with clinic heads, the organisation distributed cereal to identified patients at De Doorns, Touws River, Worcester and Robertson clinics. Similar distributions were carried out

PHILANTHROPY LAUNCHES MAJOR NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT PROGRAMME FOR YOUNG CHILDREN AT CRECHES at clinics in Kylemore, Idas Valley and Cloetesville, as well as Citrusdal and Piketberg. Further distributions reached Kabaskraal, Chatsworth, Malmesbury Day, Moorreesburg and Abbotsdale clinics. Gift of the Givers said its longstanding relationships with local health clinics help identify families most in need of assistance. “For many recipients, facing unemployment and financial hardship, this donation provides more than food — it offers nourishment, relief and hope,” the organisation said. FOCUS ON EARLY CHILDHOOD The new nutritional programme extends beyond emergency food distributions, with ECD centres and young children forming a major part of the organisation’s current focus. Gift of the Givers said supporting children early in life is an important part of its broader response to hunger and malnutrition. The organisation’s interventions include providing food directly to communities while also looking at longer-term solutions to food insecurity. “Apart from such short-term assistance, we continuously search for and deliver effective solutions, designed to give effect to long-term change,” Gift of the Givers said. This includes developing and

implementing small-scale self-help agricultural projects aimed at empowering communities to improve their food security. Gift of the Givers said its work extends from providing meals to vulnerable children to assisting communities affected by disasters and other crises. It also makes its Sibusiso Food Supplement available as a nutritional support product. According to the organisation, the groundnut-based, highenergy and protein supplement does not require refrigeration and is particularly suited to disaster-relief situations. The organisation said its overall objective remains focused on ensuring people affected by hunger and malnutrition receive nutritional assistance while longer-term solutions are developed. Its latest work in the Western Cape combines these approaches, with donations such as the Nestlé baby cereal

SPEAKING OUT: “This happened to me two weeks ago.” “I was 19”, “I was 14”, “I was six”. One by one, a group made up mainly of women, called out the ages at which they were sexually assaulted during a silent demonstra-

tion outside Cape Town Central Police Station on Tuesday 16 September. The Cape of Storms lived up to its name as strong winds swept through Cape Town on Tuesday, but it could not silence the voices of women who had gathered to protest the murder of at least nine women in Ekurhuleni over a two-month period. The 100-strong group, dressed in black and holding placards reading “Girls just want to live” and “Leave women alone”, gathered outside the Castle of Good Hope before moving up to the police station, where they held their demonstration for about 30 minutes. The demonstration was organised by Cape Town-based stylist Selloane Jeminah Madonna, who said she had posted a call on social media, on Monday 15 September, for people to attend it and was overwhelmed by the response.

“Imagine not being a South African.” These are some of the phrases making the rounds on social media. While they may seem like simple slogans, they capture something much deeper: a sense of pride in being South African. I am proud to be South African. I am proud of our culture, our people and our rich heritage. I am proud of our languages, our cultural history and the diversity that makes this country so unique. From the different traditions practised across our communities to the food, music, art and stories passed down from one generation to the next, there is so much that makes South Africa worth celebrating. Being a South African is not about belonging to one culture or speaking one language. It is about being part of a country made up of many identities, histories and experiences. Our diversity can sometimes be a source of division, but it can also be one of our greatest strengths when we choose to appreciate and learn from one another. What makes me particularly proud is our ability to ﬁnd humour even during difficult times. South Africans have faced poverty, inequality, crime, unemployment and many other challenges, yet somehow, we continue to laugh, celebrate and come together. That spirit is perhaps best captured by the concept of Ubuntu: the belief that our humanity is connected to that of others. Ubuntu reminds us that we are not individuals living

PRIDE IN OUR COUNTRY SHOULD MEAN MORE THAN POSTING A FLAG .. in isolation. We are part of families, communities and a nation. When one person succeeds, it can inspire others. When one community is struggling, others should be willing to lend a helping hand. As we prepare to celebrate Heritage Day (Thursday 24 September), we should remember that our heritage is not simply something to wear proudly for one day of the year. It is something we should acknowledge, protect and pass on every day. Heritage Day gives us an opportunity to celebrate where we come from, but it should also encourage us to think about where we are going. We cannot truly celebrate our heritage while ignoring the challenges faced by many. Pride in our country should mean more than posting a ﬂag or wearing traditional clothing. It should mean caring about our communities, respecting our different cultures and languages, supporting local talent and standing together when others are in need. There is no doubt that we have our problems. But there is also so much to love. From our vibrant communities and beautiful landscapes to our music, food, languages, humour and resilience, there is something special about being South African. So, as Heritage Day approaches, I will proudly say it: I am South African. And I am proud of it. “No DNA, just RSA.” - KAYLYNNE BANTOM

How strange that the TygerBurger keeps publishing targeted articles apparently supporting the new City of Cape Town animal keeping bylaw. The current animal keeping bylaw was perfectly adequate to stop circuses which use wild animals for entertainment, from setting up shop in Cape Town. Yet the City of Cape Town continued issuing permits to the Circus for the past 20 years. Now that the City desperately wants to pass the new animal keeping bylaw with it's registrations and restrictions on pets, and outrageous power to take away the freedom of middle class responsible pet owners, now suddenly the City covers up its true intentions behind the circus debate.

This is how a Trojan horse operates. CONCERNED CAPETONIAN, Email

TygerBurger covers matters of public interest as they arise. The proposed animal-keeping bylaw is exactly that — a matter of public interest — and our reporting reﬂects the scope of the proposed bylaw and the range of views being expressed, not a predetermined editorial line. Covering distinct policy questions and issues is not a "Trojan horse" — it is journalism. We welcome robust public debate and will continue to publish letters from all sides. - ED

Contest rezoning of property The residents in De Villiers Street are under threat because of a building with 18 flats being given the green light to proceed with completion. Since 2020 the residents in De Villiers street have petitioned the building of the property on two plots of 1190m². The double storied building was set to be built on top of a pool, whether proper regulations were followed we are not sure. The bottom floor which comprises approximately 12 units was rented out to approximately 35 – 40 people since 2020. The neighbours suffered intimidation, threats, noise levels increased by the motorcycle delivery tenants, vehicle break-ins increased, house break-ins increased, vagrants and unsavory elements frequented the property, drugs were used while sitting in parked vehicles outside the premises, parking in front of residents' driveways, urinating outside the property, bin day it was chaos with eight bins from the property where the vagrants fight and have their own market. Since 2020 no progress was made by authorities in communicating with the neighbours who have escalated their complaints to the DA Ward councillor and the newspaper. Thus far five neighbours have sold their properties

due to intimidation, property devaluation and unhappiness. Their properties were bought by foreigners who took advantage of cheap under valuated properties and have now converted the properties to rental rooms where up to 12 people reside with their children and approximately six vehicles per residence. This resulted in more chaos and unpleasantness. In June this year the flats' tenants were all evicted and neighbours breathed a sigh of relief. There are write-ups on the internet where a property owner who has flats in Oakdale was fined R1 million for illegal building and trespassing the rezoning laws. His lawyers argued that the municipality was to blame for taking too long and that he is a victim of municipal tardiness and he cannot afford a R1 million fine, but is expected to pay a R15 000 penalty for proceeding with his wrong doing of building illegally and trespassing the rezoning laws. The municipality has now given the neighbours of De Villiers Street an option to contest the application of rezoning the property in De Villiers Street with a due date of 16 October. The existing neighbours have not all been informed of this process at the time of posting this information. JOSEPH PASQUALLI, Oakdale

New solutions to crime needed I hope our new detective commander can do something about the crime in Durbanville. We need better training for our officers and officers that care about Durbanville. We need a faster rate of response to crime.

We need reservist police officers that can help out in the uniform branch and the detective branch. There are so many solutions; just get some old police officers together and you'll solve a lot of crime. ERNIE HAGEN, Durbanville

With the local government elections approaching in November, one question needs to be asked: where are the candidates who want our votes? In neighbouring Ward 10, residents are already being introduced to candidates, hearing their plans and engaging with their manifesto. Here in our ward (Oakdale) there appears to be an uncomfortable silence. That silence comes as our community faces serious concerns, including prostitution, drug-related activity, muggings, vagrancy and growing safety fears. Residents are being robbed in broad daylight, while incidents involving guns have heightened concerns about our streets, parks and public spaces. So, where are our prospective ward councillors? What specifically will you do about these problems? What can you realistically achieve within the powers of a ward councillor and the City? What are your priorities, and what will you tackle first? What measurable commitments are you prepared to make? What will you do in your first 100 days? How will you work with the police, the City, CID, community organisations and residents? How will you report back to residents on progress, failures and outstanding issues? What will you do differently from the previous council term? What specific improvements should residents expect to see, and by when? And importantly, what are we actually voting for? This is not about telling anyone how to vote. It is about asking residents to think before they vote. We should know the candidates, hear their plans, challenge their claims and compare their commitments. If candidates want our votes, they should come and speak to us. Our community deserves representation that has to earn our confidence. So, where are our candidates? DR ANTHONY UMETOR, Oakdale

Glo in God, nie mense Ek lees gedurig van ontevrede mense. My mening: ons leef soos in die tyd van die Rigters in die Bybel. Elkeen doen wat reg is in sy eie oë. As ons weer Jesus ons ware Koning maak, sal dinge regkom. Ons sal weer God se stem duidelik hoor. Ons sal 'n regering hê wat vir almal omgee en luister na ons klagtes.

Soccer gives hope to rough sleepers

he City of Cape Town is strengthening its partnership with Oasis Reach For Your Dreams through the Homeless World Cup programme. The initiative uses soccer to support people who have experienced homelessness and rough sleeping on their journey towards reintegration. Trials concluded last week, with eight players selected to represent South Africa at the tournament in Mexico in January 2027. Nearly 60 players took part in the initial trials on 27 August, of whom 22 progressed to a second round at Oasis Business Park.

CLOSER CITY COLLABORATION Oasis Reach For Your Dreams, a nonprofit organisation, has coordinated Cape Town's participation in the Homeless World Cup programme for many years. It creates opportunities for people who have experienced homelessness to play soccer at local and international level. This year marks an important development. Oasis is collaborating more closely with the City as part of Cape Town's Strategy to Reduce Rough Sleeping and its Vanguard City Programme commitment. "The strategy recognises that responding to homelessness requires more than providing temporary accommodation," said the City's Mayco member for community services and health, Francine Higham. "Sustainable reintegration requires a person-centred approach that addresses

EIGHT PLAYERS SELECTED AS CAPE TOWN’S HOMELESS SOCCER PROGRAMME GROWS the circumstances that contribute to homelessness while creating opportunities for people to rebuild confidence, relationships, skills and a sense of purpose. "Sport can play an important role in this journey and the City is proud to support the Homeless World Cup," said Higham. REBUILDING THROUGH SPORT Participation in soccer provides structure, encourages discipline and teamwork, and creates a positive community in which participants can develop friendships and experience a renewed sense of belonging. For people who have experienced the isolation and exclusion of living on the streets, these social connections can form an important part of rebuilding their lives. VANGUARD PROGRAMME The initiative supports Cape Town's commitments under the Vanguard Programme. Through this programme, the City works with partners to advance practical, collaborative interventions aimed at preventing homelessness where possible and, where it does occur, making it rare, brief and non-recurring.

Oasis forms part of Cape Town's Vanguard Action Committee. It brings its experience of working directly with people experiencing homelessness into the City's collaborative response to rough sleeping. This year's participants were drawn from shelters and organisations including Oasis, MES and The Haven Night Shelters, with participation also extending to MES programmes in the Eastern Cape and Johannesburg. "This collaboration is an example of how the Strategy to Reduce Rough Sleeping can be translated into practical interventions," said Higham. "As local government, we cannot address the issue alone. Through partnerships with NGOs, shelters, communities, the private sector and people with lived

experience, we can work together to reduce the number of rough sleepers." The squad of eight players will be announced on 13 October.

Oasis Reach For Your Dreams, a non-proﬁt organisation, has coordinated Cape Town’s participation in the Homeless World Cup Programme for many years, creating opportunities for people who have experienced homelessness to play soccer at local and international level.

UWC academic urges support for African entrepreneurs Prof Robertson Tengeh of the University of the Western Cape's (UWC) department of management and entrepreneurship has called for a fundamental rethink of how entrepreneurship support is designed. African entrepreneurs are being failed by systems built for someone else, he argued. Tengeh, a National Research Foundation (NRF)-rated researcher, delivered his inaugural lecture on 15 September, drawing on two decades of research into African immigrant entrepreneurship in South Africa. He introduced a new framework focused on entrepreneurship within African contexts. He said Africa has the world's highest rate of entrepreneurial activity, yet also the highest business failure rate. The problem, he argued, is not a lack of determination among entrepreneurs but the mismatch between the support systems around them and the realities they operate in. "We are diagnosing the wrong problem and therefore expecting outcomes that are unlikely to produce sustainable businesses," Tengeh said. "They fail not because of a lack of optimism or

determination but because support systems around them were designed for someone else." WESTERN THEORY, AFRICAN REALITY Tengeh challenged the academic community to develop theories grounded in African contexts, saying that a reliance on imported frameworks leads to interventions that do not address the actual barriers faced by entrepreneurs. "A misdiagnosis of the core issues can lead to ineffective interventions rather than addressing the actual barriers faced by entrepreneurs." He pointed to the apparent accessibility of business support services as an example. While programmes and loans may appear available on paper, many entrepreneurs cannot meet basic eligibility requirements. A South African identification document effectively excludes non-South Africans, and having no credit history may shut out the informal township entrepreneur. In an interview before the lecture, Tengeh said current approaches tend to focus on individual entrepreneurs

rather than the support systems and environments in which they operate. "Redirecting energy towards support systems would yield better resilience outcomes," he said. BEYOND FUNDING Tengeh argued that funding is only one of several constraints. Mentorship, access to business networks, knowledge of supply chains and the development of a customer base are equally important for business survival and long-term sustainability. He presented the West African apprenticeship system as a model worth examining. Apprentices work for three years, gaining practical knowledge of different aspects of the business, including supply

chain management. Upon completion, the mentor or business owner establishes a similar business for the apprentice, provides goods on credit, introduces them to relevant networks and in some cases allows them to take some customers. Asked what he would do with R1 billion to solve one problem related to his research, Tengeh said he would use it to help develop and influence policies that guide interventions designed around the actual profile of entrepreneurs and young people in South Africa. "We cannot design for people we don't know," he said. "We must know who they are, understand what they need, and engage them before we design." He said he would set up an entrepreneurial mentorship and apprenticeship programme, funding experienced and credible entrepreneurs to work with mentees over a sustained period. The aim would be to ensure that young people gain not only financial support but also access to guidance, knowledge, networks and practical experience.

Run to celebrate anniversary RICHARD ROBERTS

RICHARD.ROBERTS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

Cape Town ultramarathon athlete is planning on running 120 km later this month to honour and celebrate the 120-year existence of the Celtic Harriers Running Club, the fifth-oldest running club in the Western Cape. The 120 km Commemorative Run on Saturday 26 September will see athlete and Celtic Harrier member Denver van der Bergh complete a loop, running from Claremont to Muizenberg, Simon’s Town, Hout Bay, Camps Bay, Sea Point, before returning to the organisation’s clubhouse in Imam Haron Road, Claremont. Van der Bergh, a recovering drug addict who has embraced running over the years, will set off at 03:00 sharp. TygerBurger reported on Van der Bergh’s battle with addiction, his rehabilitation at the Ramot Treatment Centre for Substance Abuse in Parow, and how he overcame this addiction and developed a love for running. The newspaper also reported on his run from Cape Town to KwaZulu-Natal last year where he competed in the Comrades Marathon. Van der Bergh, founder of the non-profit organisation Serenity Strides Foundation, also plans to run from Cape Town to Cairo in 2028. His upcoming run around Table Mountain, he explained, is not just to honour the club, but also to raise funds for a fellow

club member living with cancer. Members and supporters can join for any distance along the route, all proceeds going to the member, he said. To this end Van der Bergh will also run in a purple Speedo, to raise awareness of cancer, along with his famous green-and-white Celtic vest. HISTORY The Celtic Harriers Running Club, founded in 1906 by a group of young Irish immigrants, with the passing years has created a community where beginners, walkers, social runners, elite athletes and master athletes can all find encouragement and belonging, said Van der Bergh. He said this legacy is closely connected to some of South Africa’s most important road races. “It’s Celtic 35 Mile Road Race evolved into the Two Oceans Marathon. After the first two Celtic races in 1970 and 1971, the event became an official club race, and the name ‘Two Oceans Marathon’ was adopted for the 1972 edition. “Celtic Harriers also organised the first version of the Cape Town Marathon as a club event in 1994. The modern race later developed into the internationally recognised Cape Town Marathon,

which became Africa’s first World Athletics Gold Label marathon in 2017.” The club also has a strong association with the Peninsula Marathon, which began in 1964 as a training run for the Comrades Marathon, as well as the Don Lock Memorial Race, which celebrates its 65th anniversary this year. ACHIEVEMENT Van der Bergh said Celtic Harriers’ greatest achievement, however, is its impact on ordinary people. “It’s Couch to 10 km programme helps people take their first step into running and gives them the confidence to rise above their circumstances. The club supports its members through weekly runs, trail groups, training programmes, races, fundraising initiatives and a strong culture of community service.” Van der Bergh said his personal story formed part of this wider Celtic story, although it is not the main story. “I am a recovering addict who reached rock bottom and managed to rebuild my life through recovery, running and community support. Celtic Harriers believed in me from the beginning and supported me during my run from Cape Town

to Durban.” Glenn Muller, vice-chair of the Two Oceans Marathon board, and former Celtic Harrier Club secretary, said Van der Bergh is an incredible athlete, someone with the right mentality who is also a voice for those who are

voiceless. “He did an incredible run from Cape Town to KZN and the next day ran the Comrades just to raise funds for Ramot,” Muller said. Visit www. serenitystridesfoundation.org
