DISPOSAL DELAY SLOWS CLEAN-UP OF DEAD SARDINES ALONG CAPE COAST

Sardine clean-up under way KAILIN DANIELS

he City of Cape Town has begun the clean-up and removal of large numbers of dead sardines washing ashore along the coastline, but residents in Melkbosstrand, Bloubergstrand and Milnerton Lagoon Beach are still reporting sightings of the fish. TygerBurger visited several beaches and found some dead

SCIENTISTS INVESTIGATE VIRUS sardines still scattered along the shoreline, weeks after the mass die-off first became apparent. The City’s Urban Waste Management Cleansing Department say they are currently working to remove the fish that have washed ashore between Silwerstroomstrand and Milnerton.

Dead and dying sardines have also been reported across a much wider area, stretching from Saldanha Bay on the West Coast to Cape Agulhas on the south coast. CLEAN-UP FACES DISPOSAL DELAY The City said the clean-up has been slightly delayed because

its disposal department had to request an exemption to allow the dead fish to be disposed of at Vissershok Landfill. The fish have been designated as possibly infected, requiring the necessary approval before they can be disposed of at the landfill. The exemption request is being processed and has been escalated to the Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, David Maynier, because of the

urgency of the matter. The City said it was making every effort to remove the fish as quickly as possible. Deputy Mayor and Mayco member for spatial planning and environment, Eddie Andrews, said the dead fish were not considered a health risk to residents, apart from the nuisance caused by the smell.

Four burnt bodies found in Du Noon KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

olice are investigating the deaths of four unidentified people whose bodies were found burnt beyond recognition in an open field near the N7 off-ramp in Du Noon on Sunday afternoon (23 August). The grim discovery was made near Malibongwe Drive after Milnerton police were called to the area. The four bodies were found metres apart from one another on an open field next to the road. Western Cape police spokesperson Sgt Wesley Twigg said the victims had been burnt so badly that they could not be identified at the scene. BODIES BURNT BEYOND RECOGNITION “Determinations were made based on the crime scene that tyres were used to set the victims alight,” Twigg said. Police have not yet established who the victims are or what led to their deaths. The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear and the motive for the killings is still unknown. The discovery has prompted a murder investigation, with detectives now working to piece together what happened before the four people were killed and their bodies set alight. SERIOUS VIOLENT CRIME UNIT INVESTIGATES A murder docket has been opened and the investigation has been handed to

detectives from the serious violent crime unit. Investigators will have to establish the identities of the victims, determine how they died and establish whether they were killed at the scene or brought there after their deaths. Police have not indicated whether any arrests have been made in connection with the case. The location of the bodies, metres apart on an open field close to a busy road, could also provide investigators with potential clues as they work to establish the circumstances surrounding the killings.

THOUSANDS OF WARRANTS ISSUED YEARLY The traffic services execute, on average, more than 96 000 warrants each year, Jacobs said.

variety of other transgressions. These include ﬁnes for Total Driver Fitness, for example no licence or no PDP (40); Vehicle Fitness for tyres, brakes and lights (36); Moving Violations (63); Parking/Stopping (24); and Traffic Bylaw for transgressions such as the use of cellphones (38). Four taxis were impounded during the same month, and 10 ﬁnes were issued to taxis or buses. "We have speeding problems on Uys Krige Drive, Monte Vista Boulevard, Plattekloof Road. It Cannot be that low," Visser said. Gerhard Fourie, Subcouncil chair, mentioned that the matter has been raised previously as well. The Subcouncil asked for clarity around the statistics, emphasising that it cannot be that low, as there are cameras on most of these roads. The last Subcouncil meeting for this year was held on Wednesday 19 August.

“In this latest operation, 16 people were arrested, while 39 were released on a warning.” Suspects finalised outstanding warrants to the value of R110 000 at the department’s mobile payment centre, said Jacobs. Jacobs said apart from trace operations, traffic officers can also enforce outstanding warrants through routine patrols or using automated number plate recognition technology. He added that motorists with outstanding warrants are also unable to conduct certain transactions on the NaTIS system, including renewing driving or vehicle licences. Earlier this month the City’s traffic services warned motorists not to fall for a scam in which they are instructed to pay a fine within 24 hours or face legal action. The scam involved email or text messages being sent to motorists demanding them to pay the fine.

Last week the small amount of traffic fines issued by traffic services in Ward 1, which include Plattekloof, Monte Vista, Panorama and Welgelegen, came under the spotlight at the Subcouncil 7 meeting held in Durbanville. The council was discussing the Report on Activities for Traffic Services for the month of June 2026, when Chery Visser, ward councillor, raised her concerns. She wanted to know why there are so few traffic fines issued in the area, despite the traffic cameras, speed traps and patrols on the very busy roadways on especially Plattekloof Road, Giel Basson and Monte Vista Boulevard. Visser said that the traffic statistics for her ward for the month of June "is low". According to the June statistics a total of 39 fines were issued for speeding. Only one arrest was executed in the ward. Meanwhile a number of fines were issued for a

POLICE APPEAL FOR INFORMATION Police are now appealing to the public who may have information about the incident to come forward. Anyone who may have seen suspicious activity in the area, knows the identities of the victims or has information that could assist detectives is urged to contact the police. Twigg said information from members of the public could assist investigators in making progress with the case. The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information can contact the police on 08600 10111.

Warrant dodgers get home visits Several Cape motorists, who had been ignoring their outstanding warrants of arrest as a result of a traffic infringement, were visited at home by traffic officers last week. As a result, the City of Cape Town’s traffic services were able to collect R110 000 on outstanding warrants. Kevin Jacobs, traffic services spokesperson, said motorists with outstanding fines or warrants are encouraged to settle these as soon as possible. On Wednesday 19 August traffic officers executed 160 warrants at 54 addresses across the metro, said Jacobs, adding that the operation forms part of an effort to ensure that motorists are held accountable for traffic transgressions committed.

Sardine die-off not linked to Milnerton Lagoon

FROM PAGE 1 Residents have, however, been urged not to collect the fish. “While the fish pose no risk to anyone other than the nuisance factor related to the smell, we ask residents to please refrain from collecting the fish,” Andrews said. He also urged dog owners to prevent their pets from accessing the dead fish on the beaches. VIRUS FOUND IN SARDINES The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) has confirmed that diagnostic testing detected genetic material from pilchard herpesvirus (PHV) in sampled sardines collected from various affected beaches. However, scientists are still investigating what role the virus played in the mass mortality. The DFFE has established an urgent task team involving the department, the fishing industry and other stakeholders to investigate the cause of the die-off. The investigation will examine the possible role of PHV, environmental conditions and other factors that may have contributed to the deaths. The department is also expanding disease surveillance along the West, South and East coasts while further disease, pathology and environmental investigations continue. CAUSE OF DIE-OFF REMAINS UNCLEAR Although PHV has been detected in the fish, experts have cautioned that its presence does not necessarily mean it was the sole cause of the deaths. Scientists and marine experts are investigating whether environmental stress may have contributed to or accelerated the mortality. Possible factors being considered include harmful algal blooms, low oxygen levels and unusual ocean conditions. Testing has ruled out paralytic toxins associated with algal blooms in Saldanha Bay. These toxins can cause serious illness in people who consume contaminated shellfish, but they were not detected in the sardines tested. The DFFE has also said there is

Dead sardines are still being spotted along parts of the Cape coastline, including Melkbosstrand, Bloubergstrand and Milnerton Lagoon Beach.

currently no evidence that PHV infects humans or other animals. FOOD SAFETY CONCERNS ADDRESSED The department has stressed that the detection of PHV genetic material does not mean healthy sardines caught commercially or canned sardine products are unsafe. It also said the finding does not justify a general suspension of fishing or canning, with normal monitoring and food-safety controls expected to continue. The impact of the die-off on the sardine population will be assessed further. The DFFE's routine hydroacoustic biomass survey in October and November will provide the first opportunity to assess the possible effect on sardine stocks. BEACHES STILL SEEING SARDINES While the clean-up continues, residents along the affected coastline remain concerned about the fish still washing ashore. During TygerBurger's visit to Melkbosstrand, Bloubergstrand and Milnerton Lagoon Beach, dead sardines were still visible in some areas. The DFFE task team will continue its investigations, with further information expected as scientific testing and monitoring progress.

LUNGELO MBANDAZAYO STADSBESTUURDER CTA169/2026

KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

he City of Cape Town says the recent mass sardine die-off along the Cape coast has no connection to the Milnerton Lagoon. Dead and dying sardines have washed ashore at several locations in recent weeks, with sightings stretching from Silverstroomstrand and Melkbosstrand to Milnerton, Camps Bay and as far as Saldanha Bay and Cape Agulhas. The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) has confirmed that laboratory testing detected pilchard herpesvirus (PHV) in affected sardines. However, scientists have not yet established whether the virus is responsible for the large-scale fish deaths. The City’s deputy mayor and Mayco member for spatial planning and environment, Eddie Andrews said: “We want to assure residents that this phenomenon has nothing to do with the Milnerton Lagoon. Sardines do not live in the Milnerton Lagoon, neither in the estuary, they are oceanic fish. “The DFFE is investigating the cause of the sardine mortality along the West Coast and we will be sure to stay abreast of these findings.” The City confirmed sightings at various locations along Cape Town’s west coast, saying these are part of the wider fish dieoff currently under investigation. Dead sardines were also reported at Milnerton Lagoon on Friday 14 August.

VIRUS DETECTED IN FISH According to the DFFE, PHV genetic material was detected in dead sardines and at lower levels in some apparently healthy fish collected along the West Coast. The finding means the presence of the virus alone may not explain the scale of the mortality. Scientists are investigating whether other environmental factors, including harmful algae, low oxygen levels or unusual ocean conditions, may have contributed. Tests for paralytic toxins linked to harmful algal blooms found none in samples from Saldanha Bay, the Cape Canyon and Gansbaai. Domoic acid and yessotoxin were detected at low levels, although the highest concentrations were found in an apparently healthy comparison sample from St Helena Bay.

CAUSE OF MASS MORTALITY STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION The DFFE said these findings suggest the tested toxins were unlikely to be the primary cause of the sardine deaths, although environmental factors cannot yet be ruled out. BEACHGOERS SHOCKED The extent of the fish deaths has shocked beachgoers and environmental groups. James Tanner, who visited Melkbosstrand Beach, said he had never seen so many dead fish wash ashore. “It was alarming. I told my kids not to touch the fish,” he said. INVESTIGATION CONTINUES The DFFE has convened an urgent briefing with small pelagic fishing industry stakeholders. A task team made up of the department, fishing industry and other relevant stakeholders is expected to coordinate the response to the PHV-associated mortality. Disease surveillance is also being expanded along South Africa’s West, South and East coasts while further disease, pathology and environmental investigations continue. The department’s October/November hydroacoustic biomass survey will provide an opportunity to assess the possible impact of the mortality event on the sardine population. PHV has not previously been reported in South African sardines. It was linked to large-scale sardine mortality events in Australasia during the 1990s, but was later detected in apparently healthy Australian sardine populations. The DFFE said there is currently no evidence that PHV infects humans or other animals. The finding also does not mean that healthy commercially caught sardines or canned sardine products are unsafe, and does not currently justify a general suspension of fishing or canning. RESIDENTS URGED TO LEAVE FISH ALONE Despite this, residents are urged not to collect or consume dead or dying fish or feed them to pets. Andrews also warned residents not to move or dispose of fish found along the shoreline.

Joint patrol boosts security KAILIN DANIELS

KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

22-member community safety team took to the streets of greater Table View on Saturday 22 August, in a joint high-visibility patrol aimed at preventing crime and improving safety in the area. The operation brought together the police, private security companies, neighbourhood watch groups, the Table View Community Police Forum (CPF) and other community-safety partners. The participating team included three police officers, two Kwena Fortis members, two Fidelity ADT members, one ASAR member, six Table View Neighbourhood Watch members, two Parklands Neighbourhood Watch members and six Table View CPF members. The joint approach allowed members to cover several areas while maintaining a visible presence and responding to community concerns. STOP-AND-SEARCH OPERATIONS As part of the operation, members carried out several stop-and-search interventions involving people encountered during the patrol. One operation was conducted at Boy de Goede Circle, near Build It, where a group of men was stopped and searched. Further stop-and-search operations were conducted along Porterfield Road and at Marine Circle. Members also conducted foot patrols around the bars and surrounding areas at Marine Circle, where a visible safety presence was maintained during the early hours. According to the CPF report, the interventions formed part of a preventative approach designed to

SAFETY PARTNERS JOIN FORCES FOR HIGH-VISIBILITY PATROL TO DRIVE DOWN CRIME

discourage criminal activity and allow safety partners to identify potential risks in the community. No arrests were made during the operation, and no illegal substances were confiscated. UNSECURED GATE RAISES CONCERN The patrol also resulted in members identifying an unsecured driveway gate at Bornmouth Bend. They alerted the resident to the potential security risk and took appropriate crime-prevention measures. The CPF urged residents to pay close attention to the security of their properties, particularly during the early hours of the morning. Gates, doors and other access points should be properly secured, while residents are encouraged to report visible security vulnerabilities. According to the CPF, the community can play an important role in preventing opportunistic crime by remaining vigilant and drawing attention to potential risks before they become incidents.

dog's owner. The dog was safely found and returned to its family. COMMUNITY SAFETY A SHARED EFFORT The CPF said the operation demonstrated the importance of cooperation between different organisations working to keep the greater Table View area safe. Despite the cold and rainy conditions, they continued with the patrol and remained committed to their duties. The CPF expressed its appreciation to everyone who participated and contributed their time and resources. The organisation specifically thanked the police, private security companies, neighbourhood watches, CPF members and other community-safety partners for

their continued involvement. The CPF said the commitment shown by the various groups demonstrated the value of a coordinated approach to crime prevention. Residents were encouraged to remain vigilant, secure their properties and report suspicious activity to the relevant authorities. The joint patrol is part of ongoing efforts to maintain a visible security presence across greater Table View and strengthen cooperation between law enforcement, private security and the community. For the CPF, the message is clear: community safety depends on residents and safety partners working together and looking out for one another.

NSRI station celebrates proud legacy KAILIN DANIELS

KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

or 30 years, volunteers at NSRI Station 18 in Melkbosstrand have answered the call to help people in trouble along the West Coast. The station is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, bringing together founding members, current and former volunteers, families and supporters to mark three decades of lifesaving service. For Station Commander Rowan Marais, however, the milestone is about more than looking back. “Thirty years is an incredible milestone and one that every volunteer at Station 18 is proud to be part of,” Marais says. “Today’s crew stands on the shoulders of the founding members and every volunteer who has dedicated their time, skills and passion over the past three decades.” BORN FROM TRAGEDY The roots of Station 18 can be traced to 1994, after the drowning of a 14-year-old boy highlighted the need for a dedicated sea rescue capability in Melkbosstrand. At the time, the nearest NSRI station was Station 3 in Table Bay, about 30km away. Local volunteers believed their community needed a rescue station closer to the coastline that could respond more quickly when lives were at risk. Founding member Rhine Barnes

“Whenever someone needed help along our coastline, Station 18 answered the call.” — Rowan Marais helped lead the drive to establish the station. Working with the Melkbosstrand Disaster Risk Management Corps, local volunteers approached the NSRI for recognition and training. Their determination, combined with an already well-equipped Disaster Management volunteer base, convinced the organisation that Melkbosstrand was ready for its own sea rescue station. The station was given the number 18, taking on the identity of the original Station 18 in Walvis Bay after Namibia’s independence. MAKING DO WITH WHAT THEY HAD Before the station had its own rescue craft, volunteer coxswains took turns using their personal rubber ducks during standby duties. Rescue equipment had to be moved from one boat to another as volunteers changed shifts. That changed in 1997 when Station 18 received its first dedicated rescue vessel, the 4,2m Lady Coutts. Volunteers also began working towards the construction of a permanent rescue station closer to the launch site. After years of negotiations and fundraising, the dream eventually

became a reality. Technology changed, volunteers stayed. Over the years, rescue technology, communications and medical care have advanced significantly. Faster rescue craft, improved navigation systems, search-andrescue applications and closer cooperation with neighbouring stations have strengthened the station’s ability to respond. But Marais says the most important part of Station 18 has remained unchanged. “While the technology has changed, the heart of Station 18 hasn’t,” he says. “Our volunteers still give up their personal time to train, maintain the station, and respond whenever the call comes.” He says the equipment may help volunteers do their jobs more effectively, but it is the people behind it who make the difference. Experienced volunteers continue to mentor newcomers, helping to maintain a culture of training, professionalism and constant improvement. RESCUES THAT MADE HISTORY Station 18 has responded to numerous significant incidents over its 30 years. Among the most notable was the rescue of

the crew of Seli 1 after the vessel ran aground in severe conditions, an operation that earned international recognition. Volunteers also launched into difficult seas to assist the fishing trawler Claremont after it ran aground near Robben Island. But for Barnes, the station’s achievements cannot simply be measured by the number of rescues completed. He says one of the most rewarding aspects of his time as station commander has been seeing how involvement in the station changed the lives of young volunteers. “To see these young people today who have succeeded in their studies or their jobs and know that the time that they spent at Station 18 had a lot to do with it,” he says. He believes the station gave many young people a sense of belonging, discipline and a positive outlook. MORE THAN SEA RESCUE Station 18’s contribution has also extended beyond offshore rescues. In 2018, the station recognised that preventing drownings on beaches required more than responding to emergencies at sea and pioneered one of the NSRI’s early lifeguarding initiatives. The programme helped lay the foundation for the organisation’s wider lifeguarding capability and strengthened its focus on drowning prevention.

Station 18 Melkbosstrand.

NSRI Chief Operating Officer Brett Ayres says Station 18 has become an example of what dedicated volunteers can achieve when they are supported by their community. “They’re a representation of the best of what volunteers who are passionate about their community, well supported and noted in their community can do,” Ayres says. As current and former volunteers gather to celebrate the 30-year milestone, the occasion will honour not only those whose names appear on the station’s honours boards, but also the families, supporters and community members who have stood behind them. “I hope people will still be able to say what they have been saying for the past 30 years: whenever someone needed help along our coastline, Station 18 answered the call.”

Flares spotted in Duynefontein still a mystery

KAILIN DANIELS An extensive search by the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) and maritime authorities has failed to explain a series of about 15 flares spotted far offshore from Duynefontein last week. The unusual sightings sparked a major response from rescue and maritime authorities, with fears initially raised that a vessel or people could be in distress at sea. EYEWITNESS REPORTS NSRI Melkbosstrand was alerted at 21:38 on Thursday 20 August, after an eyewitness reported seeing flares deep offshore. Rowan Marais, NSRI Melkbosstrand station

commander, said crew members responded and saw more flares once they were on scene. The flares were estimated to be at least 10 nautical miles offshore.

EXTENSIVE SEARCH LAUNCHED NSRI Yzerfontein was asked to keep watch, while the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC), Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) Port of Table Bay Port Control and the police were alerted. Telkom Maritime Radio Services also issued a VHF marine radio Pan Pan broadcast, alerting vessels in the area to remain vigilant. NSRI Melkbosstrand then launched the rescue craft Rotary's

Gift to search the area. The search was not limited to the sea. NSRI crews also investigated launch slipways along the West Coast, looking for boat trailers or vehicles that could indicate a local vessel was still out at sea. However, they found no indication that a local craft had gone missing. NO SIGN OF VESSEL IN DISTRESS The rescue craft conducted a sea search extending beyond 10 nautical miles offshore. Two vessels in the area at the time, including a motor vessel and a fishing vessel, were contacted but reported no sightings of the flares. Despite the extensive search,

rescuers found no signs of a vessel or people in distress. There were also no reports of anyone missing or overboard.

MYSTERY REMAINS Marais said NSRI and maritime authorities have continued monitoring the coastline since the initial sightings. Despite the response from several agencies, there is still no indication of what caused the flares or who deployed them. The number of flares involved has also added to the mystery, with at least 15 seen during the evening. The incident has left rescuers without an explanation for what happened deep offshore.

NSRI, maritime authorities and police will continue to monitor the area. “The, at least, 15 flares deployed on Thursday night remains a mystery,” Marais said.

An NSRI rescue craft searched more than 10 nautical miles offshore after multiple ﬂares were spotted off Duynefontein.

Cape Town drives 50% of job growth C

ape Town has accounted for nearly half of all new jobs created across South Africa’s eight metropolitan municipalities over the past five years, according to the latest Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) Quarterly Labour Force Survey data. According to a statement by the City of Cape Town, they added 418 000 jobs between the first quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2026, representing 49,6% of the total 841 000 jobs added across the metros during the period. Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis said the city’s job growth was greater than that of the next four largest metros combined — Johannesburg, eThekwini, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni. “Cape Town is one of eight metros, but we are home to a full 50% of all new jobs across South Africa’s cities,” said Hill-Lewis. CAPE TOWN OUTPACES GAUTENG METROS The figures show Cape Town added 6,4 jobs for every job created in Johannesburg during the period. The city also added more than four jobs for every one added in Tshwane and Ekurhuleni. While Cape Town added 418 000 jobs, eThekwini recorded 142 000, Tshwane 102 000, Ekurhuleni 96 000 and Johannesburg 65 000. Buffalo City added 50 000 jobs,

CITY ACCOUNTS FOR MORE THAN HALF OF JOBS CREATED ACROSS SOUTH AFRICA while Nelson Mandela Bay added 14 000. Mangaung was the only metro to record a decline, with 46 000 fewer jobs. Hill-Lewis said the figures were encouraging but acknowledged that more work remained to be done. “There’s still plenty to do, but we are so encouraged by the 418 000 jobs added in our city over the current term,” he said. CITY RECORDS LOWEST BROAD UNEMPLOYMENT Cape Town also recorded the lowest broad unemployment rate among the eight metros in the second quarter of 2026. The city's rate stood at 24,3%, compared with 35,3% in Buffalo City and 37,8% in eThekwini. The broad measure includes unemployed people as well as those who are not actively looking for work. At the other end of the scale, Ekurhuleni recorded a broad unemployment rate of 42,7%, followed by Mangaung at 41,2% and Johannesburg at 40,1%. Cape Town's broad unemployment rate was therefore

11 percentage points lower than Buffalo City's, the next-best performing metro. The city also recorded the lowest labour force inactivity rate at 28,7%. MORE PEOPLE ENTERING THE LABOUR MARKET The City's labour force grew by 396 000 over the period, which Hill-Lewis said showed that more people were finding work or actively looking for employment. Cape Town's labour inactivity rate fell by eight percentage points during the term. James Vos, Maco member for economic growth, said the figures showed the City's economic approach was delivering results. “This employment data is encouraging and shows that our economic growth approach is working,” said Vos. He pointed to measures aimed at making it easier for businesses to operate, including efforts to reduce turnaround times for construction permits and business licences. R40BN INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT The City also attributed part of the employment growth to its investment in infrastructure. It estimates that 130 000 construction-related jobs have flowed from its R40 billion infrastructure investment during the current term. Cape Town recorded a South

African record R12,2 billion in capital expenditure in 2025/26, double the R6 billion spent during the first year of the term. According to City estimates, about 75% of its infrastructure investment directly benefits lower-income households. Vos said the focus remained

on improving productivity, supporting businesses and creating more opportunities for people to work. “Ultimately, it’s about making it easier to do business, improving productivity and creating more opportunities for people to work,” he said.

Cape Town added 418 000 jobs between 2022 and 2026, accounting for nearly half of all metro job growth.

Fed-up motorist demands answers DESIRÉE RORKE ix months after filing a complaint with traffic services over daily lawlessness of taxi drivers, a concerned Brackenfell resident is still waiting for answers, and says nothing on the road has changed, endangering the lives of other road users across the northern suburbs of Cape Town. The resident, whose identity is being protected, describes a daily barrage of reckless taxi behaviour along several roads in Brackenfell and surrounds that includes taxis blocking lanes, skipping slipways and forcing their way ahead of law-abiding motorists at intersections. In his written complaint to the traffic department he attached detailed illustrations of the routes on Google Earth photos of where the daily violations occur.

ROADS These roads are among others including De Bron, Eversdal, Mountainview and Fairtrees road, as well as Eskom Crescent. “This is a textbook example. A taxi stopped dead in the middle of De Bron Road, blocking an entire lane, despite there being a designated area to pull over barely two meters further on. “Having caused the congestion himself,

the driver then used the very gap his blocking had created to drive down to the traffic light, ignored the slipway completely, turned left directly at the light, and forced his way in front of every single vehicle legitimately waiting to turn into Mountain View drive,” he says. “I want to be absolutely clear that this is not an isolated incident I am blowing out of proportion. It is a daily occurrence. Every day these drivers treat the rules of the road as if they simply do not apply to them, and every day there is not a single officer anywhere to be seen holding them to account.” “It has now been close to six months since traffic services acknowledged my complaint and undertook to monitor the situation and provide feedback. I have had no feedback, and far more importantly, nothing on the road has changed,” he told the newspaper. To the City he writes: “I have given you the routes. I have reported the behaviour, yet the only response I received was that I should phone 107 each time, as though the responsibility for policing our roads now rests with the motorists being endangered rather than with the City that taxes us for that very service. “That is not a solution. It is an admission

that there is no proactive enforcement whatsoever. So let me ask plainly, what options are actually left to the tax paying citizens of this city? I cannot take the law into my own hands. I cannot take these taxi drivers to court myself.” The resident warned that growing “we own the road” behaviour from taxi drivers, combined with continued population growth in the Western Cape, points to a City that has lost its grip. “It does not take a rocket scientist to see that the City no longer has any control over the roads, and with more and more people flocking to the Western Cape, I don’t see the City regaining any control without taking drastic steps.” He is demanding concrete answers. “What concrete enforcement action has actually been taken on the reported routes, and what plan exists to put visible, consistent traffic policing back on the roads so that these drivers can no longer act with complete impunity?”

active enforcement. In a written response, Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith said traffic services issues thousands of fines and impounds hundreds of taxis every month, with statistics published weekly on the City’s website and social media platforms. Smith acknowledged the City receives hundreds of complaints daily but said officers cannot remain static in any one area due to the sheer demand on the service. “The safety and security directorate’s efforts to address the lawlessness on the roads are well documented,” he said. He referred to the City’s administrative logistics for an amended by-law, recently gazetted, that strengthens provisions for impounding vehicles. Now that it has been gazetted, traffic officers are able to impound vehicles in a number of instances, including where the vehicle is being driven on a public road in a manner that is reckless and poses an immediate or imminent danger to the life of passengers, road users, or pedestrians,” he said. Smith noted the by-law targets lawlessness across all motorists, not only taxi drivers, and urged residents to report reckless driving to the Public Emergency Communication Centre on 021 480 7700.

CITY FIRES BACK The City has hit back at the claim that taxi lawlessness goes unchecked, calling the accusation “disingenuous” and pointing to thousands of fines, impoundments and arrests as evidence of

CAB Foods celebrates 22 years of growth with opening of 10th store CAB Foods is celebrating 22 years in business with the opening of its 10th store at Table Bay Mall on Friday 28 August, marking a major milestone for the growing business. The new store represents another step in the company's journey, which began 22 years ago and has seen CAB Foods expand one location at a time. For CEO Elaine Lahoud, reaching 10 stores is a milestone she never expected when the business ﬁrst began. “Ten is incredible. When we started this journey 22 years ago, I never imagined we would have two stores, let alone 10,” Lahoud says. She says the milestone reﬂects the dedication of the CAB Foods team, the loyalty of its customers and the support of those who believed in the business along the way. SIX YEARS OF WAITING The Table Bay Mall opening is

particularly significant for the company because of the longstanding demand from customers in the area. Managing Director Chantelle Lahoud says the business has been looking for the right location for six years. “Our customers have asked us to come to the area, and we have been working on finding the right location for six years,” she says. The new store finally gives CAB Foods a presence in the area and provides customers with another location to access its products and services.

THINKING OUT LOUD

LEWENSKIEKIE

People on the streets are also human On a sunny winter's afternoon in Cape Town, it is easy to become absorbed in the beauty of the city. The blue skies, warm sunlight and busy streets can make it tempting to believe that everything is well. But on the streets, another reality exists: one that many people walk past without a second thought It is the reality of people living there. For many, the sight of someone sleeping under a bridge, sitting on a pavement or pushing their belongings in a trolley has become part of the city's landscape. We see them, but don’t really see them. We make assumptions about how they got there and, sometimes, we judge them. But perhaps the most important lesson is that we should not judge. People living on the streets have hopes, talents, friendships, memories and dreams. Their circumstances are different from ours, but their humanity is not. I recently wrote about Sally Roman, who has lived on the streets of Cape Town for more than 20 years. She arrived in the city as a teenager, hoping to find a better life. Her journey did not unfold as she had hoped. Yet, sitting on the Fan Walk in Green Point, with a pair of scissors in her hand, Sally is not defined by homelessness. She is a self-taught hairdresser. She loves children. She loved singing in her school

PEOPLE LIVING ON THE STREETS HAVE HOPES, TALENTS, FRIENDSHIPS, MEMORIES ...

choir. She describes herself as someone who gets along with everyone. What is equally striking is the bond she has formed with the people around her. Her friend speaks warmly about her after she cuts his hair. He is happy with the result, but his words reveal that the value of the interaction goes beyond a haircut. He describes Sally as a nice person who is always happy. These friendships remind us that people living on the streets build communities too. They look out for one another. They share stories, laughter and sometimes the little they have. They form genuine connections because, in a difficult environment, having someone who knows you, understands you and accepts you can mean everything. Life on the street is undoubtedly difficult. It can expose people to violence, hunger, illness, loneliness and uncertainty. But it can also create bonds that are difficult for those outside that world to understand. During Women's Month, Sally's message that women should support one another is particularly powerful. She speaks against the tendency to put other women down and calls for more love between women. Perhaps that message extends beyond women. We all need to ask ourselves how we treat people whose lives look different from ours. Compassion does not mean ignoring the challenges associated with homelessness. It means recognising the person behind the circumstances. It means understanding that not everyone chose to live on the street. For many, a series of difficult circumstances, limited opportunities, family breakdown, poverty or other challenges led them there. Sometimes, what a person needs most is not judgement, but a listening ear, a conversation, a meal, a kind word, a moment of dignity. We may not be able to change someone's life, but we can choose how we respond to them. Because the people on our streets are someone's friend, someone's parent, someone's child and above all, they are human beings deserving of love, compassion and dignity. - KAYLYNNE BANTOM

BRIEWE/LETTERS

Concern for plight of Rawsonville Thank you for I am writing out of deep concern for the community and local businesses of Rawsonville, a small farming town. Following the severe rain and ﬂooding across the province, the main bridge connecting surrounding farms and communities to the town centre sustained critical damage. It is currently closed to all vehicular traffic and accessible only to pedestrians. As a result, residents and farmers are forced to take a 60 km detour to reach the other side or travel all the way to Worcester to conduct basic business. Local business owners are suffering severely under these circumstances. Several have had to lay off staff, and some have been forced to close down entirely due to the drastic decline in foot traffic and trade. Despite political representatives visiting for multiple meetings, no practical repairs or relief efforts have begun to assist this farming community.

This situation imposes a massive ﬁnancial and logistical strain on everyone, forcing workers and residents to commute signiﬁcantly longer distances for work and daily necessities. It is disheartening to see both national and local governments leave a struggling community to fend for itself. Furthermore, I was informed that a local company offered to create a temporary crossing for cars to relieve the congestion, but was reportedly halted by a nearby mining company along the river (though I cannot independently verify this report). It raises a painful question: why must smaller, vulnerable communities suffer the most and wait the longest for emergency assistance? For anyone travelling in or near the area, please make a conscious effort to support our local businesses. JACQUES, E-mail

Traffic services need more visibility There are comments made by the mayor about being the best municipality in the country — with concern for the well-being, safety and security of the citizens of this city but it appears that the mayor and the senior official responsible for safety and security have a total disregard. Many letters have been written in the local Wednesday newsmedia regarding the disregard for stop signs, yield signs, red traffic lights, but there are no traffic police who spend time in the suburbs patrolling. There has been no evidence by the mayor or the senior official providing instructions to the traffic police, to apply the law, neither any mention of these lawless incidents are stated as key performance indicators. Visibility of traffic police is only evident when a road incident occurs and they arrive in their numbers, but during the normal daily traffic movement "they are out of sight, out of mind". The success of any organisation is determined when the most senior official in the business drives the company through KPI's down to the lowest level to ensure the desired results are achieved. At the City. Fines should be issued to a few citizens for disobeying, disregarding stop signs, yield signs, traffic lights and tailgating, and the message will soon have the desired effect. DISGUSTED, Uitzicht, Durbanville JP Smith, Mayco member for safety and security, responds: The City’s traffic service issues thousands of ﬁnes to motorists each month. As indicated previously, these statistics are available and traffic service reports are presented monthly at the subcouncil. Therefore, to claim there is little to no enforcement is disingenuous.

The efforts of the safety and security directorate to address the lawlessness on the roads are well documented. In addition, the City’s traffic service is now finalising the administrative logistics required for enforcement of the amended by-law recently gazetted. The amendments centre on the provisions for impounding vehicles and related penalties. Now that it has been gazetted, traffic officers are able to impound vehicles in a number of instances, including where the vehicle is being driven on a public road in a manner that is reckless and poses an immediate or imminent danger to the life of passengers, road users, or pedestrians. In the last year, between July 2025 and June 2026, the City’s traffic service recorded nearly four million offences. During the period, they made 2 767 arrests — up from 2 255 the year before. Drunk driving arrests increased by 32% from 1 619 in 2024/25 to 2 138. The Traffic Enforcement Unit recorded the following successes. A total of 20 deployments were held in Durbanville (9), Uitzicht (6), and Fisantekraal (5); a total of 1 143 fines were issued in Durbanville (658), Uitzicht (213) and Fisantekraal (272); and a total of 41 taxis impounded in Durbanville (23), Uitzicht (9) and Fisantekraal (9). The traffic enforcement statistics and the hundreds of thousands of complaints every year are key reasons why we introduced this by-law in the first place, and then spent three years working on even tougher amendments, to address the continued lawlessness on our roads, perpetrated by the motoring public and not just taxi drivers. I encourage residents to report reckless and negligent driving to the public emergency communication centre on 021 480 7700.

your kindness

Dear kind strangers, I hope this message somehow ﬁnds its way to the wonderful couple who paid for our meal at Wimpy Groot Phesantekraal Mall on Saturday morning 8 August. I want you to know how deeply touched I was by your kindness. At a time when I’m was struggling to walk because of my Parkinson’s Disease, your thoughtful gesture brought me comfort, dignity and a reminder that there are still people in this world who notice others and care. You did not just pay for a meal - you gave us a moment of warmth and encouragement on a difficult day. Your generosity meant far more than you could know, and I will remember your kindness for a long time. Thank you for showing such kindness to someone you didn’t even know. May the goodness you shared return to you many times over. With sincere gratitude, a grateful stranger. YVETTE MEYER, Buh-Rein Estate

The unsafe outdoors I read with a wry smile the letter about Saturday-night window shopping in Bellville. (TB 19/8) I too remember Voortrekker Road as the heartbeat of our weekends, the strolling, the chatting, the simple pleasure of looking before buying. But I must respectfully push back on one point. Online shopping is not the villain here. It is a tool, and like any tool, it depends on how we use it. Yes, a website cannot replace the warmth of a shopkeeper's greeting or the pleasure of browsing with a friend. But online shopping has also given elderly residents, people with disabilities and working parents access to goods and services they might otherwise never reach. It is not impersonal by nature, it is efficient. The real tragedy is not that we shop online, but that we feel unsafe outdoors. If we want our town centres back, we must ﬁght for them not merely mourn their passing. Bellville is not beyond saving. New developments, improved lighting, visible policing and community-driven initiatives can change the picture. The Brackenfell Business Improvement District has shown what organised community action can achieve. There is no reason Bellville's CBD cannot follow suit. The Valiant is long gone, and no website will bring it back. But neither will nostalgia alone revive a street. If every resident who remembers the good old days committed to visiting a local shop once a week, the difference would be visible within months. I share the longing. But longing without action is just a sigh. Let us shop local, support local and walk our streets again. carefully, yes, but deliberately. HAPPY SHOPPER, Brackenfell

US se Sunskill-sentrum City releases more vier ‘n dekade van land for housing uitnemendheid T

Die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) se Sunskill-sentrum vir Chirurgiese Vaardigheidsopleiding by sy Tygerbergkampus buite Kaapstad het pas 'n dekade van uitnemendheid in chirurgiese onderrig gevier. Terselfdertyd het dit ook 'n belangrike nuwe hoofstuk in sy ontwikkeling ingelui met die uitbreiding van sy aanbod van opleiding in robotgesteunde chirurgie, luidens 'n verklaring deur die universiteit. Dié sentrum, wat tot stand gekom het danksy 'n langdurige vennootskap tussen die US en Medtronic — 'n wêreldleier in gesondheidsorgtegnologie — het tot 'n toonaangewende platform vir chirurgiese opleiding, vaardigheidsontwikkeling en gesondheidsorginnovasie in Afrika ontwikkel. Die insluiting van opleiding in robotgesteunde chirurgie versterk die sentrum se rol in die bevordering van voorpunt- chirurgiese praktyke, die gebruik van tegnologie en pasiëntsorg dwarsoor Suid-Afrika en die vasteland, lui die verklaring. "Die sentrum bied al langer as 'n dekade praktiese opleiding van wêreldgehalte vir chirurge en ander gesondheidsorgwerkers en ondersteun sodoende kliniese uitnemendheid, die gebruik van tegnologie en beter pasiëntsorg oor Afrika heen,” het prof. Karin Baatjes, vise-dekaan: leer en onderrig van die fakulteit geneeskunde en gesondheidswetenskappe, gesê. "Ons is net so opgewonde oor die volgende hoofstuk van uitbreiding na die vinnig ontwikkelende veld van opleiding in robotgesteunde chirurgie."

GESONDHEIDSORGWERKERS ONDERSTEUN Sunskill, wat in die US se Biomediese Navorsingsinstituut geleë is, is een van Afrika se voorste fasiliteite vir chirurgiese opleiding en onderrig. Sedert die opening daarvan in 2016 het dit die professionele ontwikkeling van meer as 10 000 gesondheidsorgwerkers deur middel van meer as 800 opvoedkundige en praktiese opleidingsgeleenthede ondersteun en

sodoende toegang tot gevorderde mediese onderrig, innoverende tegnologieë en kliniese vaardigheidsontwikkeling onder leiding van kundiges gebied, lui die verklaring. Sunskill het oor die afgelope dekade chirurge, verpleegkundiges, kliniese ingenieurs en multidissiplinêre gesondheidsorgspanne van Suid-Afrika, elders op die vasteland en die buiteland verwelkom. "Die uitbreiding na opleiding in robotgesteunde chirurgie is nog 'n belangrike mylpaal in Sunskill se ontwikkeling," het prof. Ian Vlok, direkteur van Sunskill en hoof van die afdeling neurochirurgie aan die US, gesê. "Hierdie nuwe aanbod skep geleenthede vir chirurge van Suid-Afrika en dwarsoor Afrika om blootstelling aan een van die belangrikste tegnologiese ontwikkelings in moderne chirurgie te kry. “Deur toegang tot gevorderde opleiding in robotgesteunde chirurgie te bied, rus Sunskill gesondheidsorgwerkers toe met die vaardighede en selfvertroue wat nodig is om die hoogste standaarde van pasiëntsorg te lewer."

ROBOTGESTEUNDE CHIRURGIE Die sentrum sal nou opleidingsgeleenthede vir Medtronic se Hugo-stelsel vir robotgesteunde chirurgie (RAS) skep. Die Hugo RAS-platform, wat ontwerp is vir gebruik in algemene, urologiese en ginekologiese chirurgie, kombineer beweegbare robotarms, hoëdefinisiedriedimensionele visualisering en 'n oopkonsole-ontwerp, wat groter samewerking tussen lede van die chirurgiese span in die operasiesaal moontlik maak, sê die universiteit. "As 'n oorplantingschirurg het ek groot waardering vir die waarde wat chirurgiese kundigheid tot pasiënte se lewens toevoeg. “Chirurgie red lewens, verbeter uitkomste, verkort hospitaalverblyf en kan gesondheidsorgkoste verminder," het prof. Elmi Muller, dekaan van die fakulteit, gesê.

Memorials get restoration boost The City said this week its Arts and Culture Development Branch, which is responsible for 140 public memorials across the metro, had undertaken several restoration projects at heritage sites across the metro. Over the past year, 23 missing or damaged plaques were also replaced by the branch, it said. At the Parow Civic Centre’s Memorial to Security Forces along Tallent Street, as well as the Observatory’s War Memorial, electrical repairs were undertaken by the Arts and Culture Development Branch, while bigger restoration work were carried out in Langa, the central business district (CBD) and Durbanville. These restoration projects include the Langa Memorial on Washington Circle, which honours the victims of the 1960 anti-pass law protests at a cost

of R608 039; Colonial Mutual Clock Tower Memorial in Adderley Street which serves as both a memorial and a landmark at a cost of R492 430; The Knot Sculpture by Eduardo Villa installed in 1981 outside the Cape Town Civic Centre, at a cost of R305 674; and the Pampoenkraal Oxen in Durbanville, a group of 14 brightly coloured oxen sculptures installed within the Pampoenkraal Heritage Square to celebrate Durbanville’s agricultural heritage, at a cost of R420 037. In addition to the electrical repairs, and restoration work, 23 missing and damaged plaques across the city were also replaced, the City said. “Our memorials tell the story of Cape Town and the people and communities who have shaped the city. That is why preserving and restoring these spaces matters,” said Francine Higham.

he City of Cape Town’s land release programme is channeling over 14 000 affordable housing units worth R26 billion in private sector capital into communities that already exist, while opening the door to dignified, well-located homes for more Capetonians. It is as much a housing project as it is a socio-economic investment programme, according to the City. In his address to the Affordable Housing Investment Connect conference in Cape Town last week, Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis said the City has released more land for affordable housing in the current term than the decade prior under its Priority Programme to accelerate land release.

PARTNERSHIPS The City is aiming to forge strong publicprivate partnerships for more affordable housing, and thus brought together private sector developers, financiers, government, and international finance bodies for this groundbreaking conference. According to the City, land parcels with a yield of over 14 000 affordable units are currently in the active land release pipeline or project packaging stage. A further 7 000-unit yield is estimated across land parcels already awarded to developers, while over 6 000 completed social housing units are already in operation in Cape Town. Carl Pophaim, Mayco member for human settlements, said the City had released land valued at R1,7 billion in just the last two years.

LAND PARCELS WITH A YIELD OF OVER 14 000 AFFORDABLE UNITS ARE IN THE ACTIVE LAND RELEASE PIPELINE

CALL FOR FUNDING The City is also calling for national grant-funding to be increased dramatically, and for it to be directly allocated to the metro, rather than via the red-tape laden Social Housing Regulatory Authority (SHRA). According to the City, Cape Town’s housing market has seen significant shifts in recent years, with Covid-19 enabling greater mobility and driving high semigration to the city. Two broad forces are behind the demand, people seeking employment opportunities, drawn by the city’s higher employment rate, and growing confidence in good governance prompting investment. Looking ahead, the pressures are set to intensify. Cape Town’s population is expected to grow to 8,4 million people over 24 years, with 70% of housing demand, both ownership and rental, falling in the affordable bracket. Between now and 2050, more than one million housing units will be required to meet the demand. The market has also seen a noticeable shift from freehold to sectional title developments, which now make up more than 50% of total property sales.

Youth Classical Concert celebrates 55th year YOUNG SOLOISTS WILL PERFORM ON STAGE

Soprano Phoebe Damons (20) from Bellville

he annual Youth Classical Concert celebrates its 55th year at Artscape on Saturday 5 September at 19:00. Twelve young classical musicians and singers who auditioned successfully will perform as soloists with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO), conducted by Brandon Phillips. Presented by Artscape and the CPO, supported by the City of Cape Town, the concert gives young musicians the opportunity to perform with a symphony orchestra on a professional stage. Audition candidates had to be bona ﬁde music students, perform at a high standard and reside or study in the Western Cape. The concert is a celebration of young musical talent, not a competition. The programme includes concertos by Ravel, Mozart, Shostakovich, Hofmeyr, Weber, Ibert, Khachaturian and Donizetti, with arias by Saint-Saëns and Handel. SOLOISTS The soloists, aged between 12 and 22, include pianists Giorgia Ehlers (19) from Mowbray, Alexander McIvor (18) from Cape Town and siblings Xizhi Aiden Luo (15) and Weien Amy Luo (18) from Stellenbosch. Other instrumentalists are cellist Solange Rojas (22), raised in Lima, Peru, marimba player Kyrah Adams

(20) from Paarl, clarinettist Benjamin Monvoisin (12) from Loevenstein, euphonium player Kumkani Kabane (20) from Cape Town and saxophonist James Cilliers (20) from Durbanville. Singers are sopranos Phoebe Damons (20) from Bellville and Sinesipho Tokwe (19) from Observatory, and mezzo-soprano Lilitha Nkuku (20) from Goodwood. Each soloist receives mentoring from Phillips, resident conductor of the CPO, head of woodwinds at the South African College of Music at the University of Cape Town and conductor of the UCT ensembles. This year marks the 11th Youth Classical Concert he will conduct. Since the concert's inception, more than 600 young musicians have performed with the CPO. Many are now soloists or members of South African and international symphony orchestras and opera companies. A record 75 applications to audition were received this year. The concert runs for two hours, including a 30-minute interval. Fine Music Radio will broadcast the concert live. Tickets are R100 for adults, R50 for pensioners, students and scholars, and R80 for block bookings of ﬁve or more. Book through Webtickets or Artscape Dial-a-Seat on 021 421 7695. No children under age six.

International ballet talent comes to CT The 13th South African International Ballet Competition (SAIBC) concluded with a gala at the Artscape Opera House on Thursday 6 August. This year's competition, supported by the City, brought together 118 dancers aged between nine and 22. They competed across the Scholar, Junior and Senior divisions. Dancers took part in Classical Ballet, Contemporary, Choreographic and Ensemble categories. Competitors from South Africa and countries including Cuba, Russia and the United Kingdom (UK) gathered in Cape Town for the semi-finals and finals, highlighting the competition's growing reputation as a leading international ballet platform on the African continent. Founded by Dirk Badenhorst, artistic director of Mzansi Ballet, the SAIBC remained the only international ballet competition of its kind in Africa. It provided young dancers with performance experience, international exposure and opportunities to connect with leading figures in the ballet industry. The competition, a member of the International Federation of Ballet Competitions, was adjudicated by an international jury comprising Joseph Morrissey from the United States of America, Sergey Usanov from Russia, Callum Hastie from Australia, Kate Coyne from the UK, Lorelei Bari from Romania/ Germany, Ariel Mejic from Cuba and South Africa's Thoriso Magongwa, who

was based in Chechnya. The closing gala featured performances by competition winners and guest artists. Prima ballerina Angela Revie of Mzansi Ballet performed the Walpurgisnacht Pas de Deux with fellow Mzansi Ballet dancer and Cuban juror Ariel Méjica. The Awakening of Flora Pas de Deux, composed by Riccardo Drigo, was performed by Mikayla van Heerden and Royal Ballet School student and SAIBC alumnus Nico Prinsloo. The Solace Duet was performed by Omogolo Gaorekwe and Tshenolo Tshoma. Cape Town City Ballet's Zachary Healy also stepped in at short notice as a non-competitor to partner Bolshoi Ballet School graduate Luna Helm after her original partner was injured during the event. Recognition awards were presented to Artscape Chief Executive Officer Marlene le Roux, Carolyn Steyn, John Linden, Sharon Friedman, Alfred Hinkel, Andrew Warth and Magongwa. Badenhorst said the standard of entries continued to grow each year, adding that the competition allowed young dancers to inspire one another, build friendships, celebrate excellence and create opportunities for future generations. The City said its partnership with the SAIBC reﬂected its commitment to artistic excellence and the growth of the performing arts by creating opportunities for young creatives to develop their skills and gain international exposure.

Die komedie Art is van 1 tot 12 September in die Baxter-teater te sien. Hierdie internasionaal bekroonde teaterkomedie volg op die sukses van die Afrikaanse verwerking, Kuns, wat in 2025 by die KKNK gedebuteer het. Die produksie is wyd geprys en het later ook sy sukses by die Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees voortgesit. Marthinus Basson, gevierde teatermaker, is die regisseur van die plaaslike Engelse produksie met bekroonde vertolkings deur Wilhelm van der Walt, Wessel Pretorius en Ludwig Binge. Kritici het die ensemble-spel tussen dié drie akteurs as een van die produksie se sterk punte uitgesonder.

Art, geskryf deur die Franse dramaturg Yasmina Reza en in Engels vertaal deur die Oscar-bekroonde skrywer Christopher Hampton, is een van die suksesvolste kontemporêre komedies. Die storielyn is ooglopend eenvoudig: Serge koop ’n duur kunswerk wat geheel en al uit wit lyne op ’n wit skilderdoek bestaan. Sy vriend Marc is geskok. Hul gemeenskaplike vriend Yvan bevind hom in die middel. Wat begin as ’n meningsverskil oor kuns, ontrafel gou tot ’n skreeusnaakse, vlymskerp ondersoek van vriendskap, lojaliteit, identiteit, smaak en smaak. Kaartjies kos R220 en is by Webtickets beskikbaar.

Ludwig Binge, Wessel Pretorius en Wilhelm van der Walt is te sien in Art.

LOCAL BOWLS VETERAN CLOCKS 5 000 HOURS ON GREENS

Bowls legend celebrates 88 years HERMAN JANSEN massive 5 000 hours for the love of the game, totalling about 210 days. This is how long the logbook of Walter Oosthuizen, the legendary Durbanville Bowling Club (DBC) stalwart, shows he has spent around bowling greens in his 45 years as a bowling umpire.

FORMIDABLE OPPONENT The affable Oosthuizen from Table View turned 88 yesterday (Tuesday 25 August)) and is still a formidable opponent on the greens as well. Oosthuizen, a member at DBC for 33 years, qualified as a South African Bowling Association Technical Official in 1981. He has served in this capacity for an uninterrupted 45 years. SPORTS LEGEND AWARD In 2016 already the Western Cape ministry of cultural affairs and sport honoured Oosthuizen with a Sports

A LIFETIME SPENT ON THE GREENS Legend Award "in recognition of the unselfish contribution that you have made to sport in the Western Cape". He and his wife, Pat (86), this year celebrated 65 years of married life. They got married in Worcester on 11 March 1961. The couple have lived in Table View for many years. Oosthuizen studied mechanical engineering and spent decades in Worcester at Eskom. TABLE TENNIS His sporting career began as a table tennis player where he was dubbed as "King of Boland" in this sporting code. He first got Boland colours in 1959 and eventually was capped more than fifty times. He won more than sixty Boland titles. The couple moved to Cape Town in 1988. After 30 years of playing bowls, Oosthuizen won the Western Province

senior single title in the 2020-'21 season. In the first round he achieved the incredible feat which got him into the Guinness Book of Records in 1997. He won this match 21-0 within six heads. This is the quickest possible: The player first to 21 wins a (four-bowl) single match. 'GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS' Pat Oosthuizen used to be a formidable

bowler as well. She also made the Guinness Book of Records almost 30 years ago. WORLD RECORD Her Durbanville Fours team set up a world record by beating George Lee Park 64-0 in the SA Nationals in Cape Town on 10 March 1997. A corner in DBC clubhouse is dubbed "Oosthuizen Nook", celebrating their achievements with pictures and certificates against the wall.
