FgBor the first time since inception, the board members of the Voortrekker Road Corridor Improvement District (VRCID) and the Greater Tygerberg Partnership (GTP) came together in a landmark gathering - one that signalled more than just a social event
It was a moment of unity, renewed purpose, and a shared ambition to shape the future of Bellville as a thriving urban node in Cape Town’s northern suburbs Opening the evening, VRCID chair Hardus Zevenster welcomed both boards and expressed gratitude for the shared commitment shown by all present
“We are grateful for the proactive approach of everyone in this room Bellville must be a place where people feel safe, where the streets are clean, and where development can rise confidently from strong foundations,” he says STABILITYCREATED
For over a decade, the VRCID has quietly and effectively done the hard work of laying those foundations, ensuring the basics are done, and done well Through consistent urban management, safety and security operations, and targeted social development outreach, the VRCID has created the kind of stability and order that invites investment
“You can’t build skyscrapers on shaky ground,” Zevenster noted “We want to see more cranes on the Bellville skyline - a sign that confidence is returning But before that can happen, there must be trust Trust that the area is managed, maintained, and moving forward ”
The evening’s tone was one of collaboration and synergy As organisations with different roles but a common mission, the VRCID and GTP are poised to work more closely than ever before
“We’re not just sharing office space,” Zevenster said “We’re sharing a passion for this area, and the responsibility to make a practical difference We must dream together and act together to make the northern suburbs a place people believe in again ”
Justin Coetzee, chair of the GTP, echoed this sentiment, describing the VRCID as the essential groundwork upon which revitalisation can be built
“GTP’s role is to be a lighthouse - to help navigate the agendas of different stakeholders, amplify the good work being done, and shine a light on the opportunities that lie ahead ”
With shared momentum and aligned strategies, both organisations agreed on the need to infuse the journey ahead with fresh thinking
“Let’s recruit more young people,” Coetzee urged
“We need their energy, their ideas, and their optimism
“The Bellville of tomorrow must be built with the youth of today ”
The gathering ended not with a toast, but with a challenge: to continue deepening collaboration, accelerating progress, and dreaming boldly for Bellville
With the groundwork laid by the VRCID, the vision mapped by the GTP, and a growing ecosystem of public and private partners, Bellville is not waiting for a revival - it’s building one

Kenridge also boasts three nearthreatened species that are now protected year-round in the parks, thanks to the Wildflower Stepping Stones Project

ESMÉERASMUS
Dagga to the value of R150 000 was confiscated when a local security company reacted on a complaint amidst threatening violence in Morningstar in the heart of Durbanville
The incident on Friday 8 August at 22:33 started with a complaint by a resident to the local neighbourhood watch about noise and loud music
When members of the Morningstar Neighbourhood Watch addressed the complaint, four to five men in dark clothes approached them, which sparked heated arguments and threats, according to Divan Kotze, chief executive officer of CDF
One of the men attempted to stab members of the neighbourhood watch with a knife and the assistance of CDF was requested, he says "CDF armed response units moved in fast
JOFOURIE JO FOURIE@NOVUSMEDIA CO ZA GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World is currently involved in an ongoing legal case following an incident in 2020, when a four-year-old girl was allegedly shocked while on the premises
The child’s father has lodged a claim of R4 million in damages, alleging negligence on the part of GrandWest
Responding to the matter, GrandWest confirmed that it is aware of the incident and that its legal team is studying the judgement
“Maintaining the safety of visitors is extremely important to us and is central to who we are and what we do
“We will always abide by the findings of the court, so we will work with all parties to resolve the matter amicably” said Mervyn Naidoo GrandWest’s General Manager

Dan draai jy die slinger heen en weer om momentum op te bou om oor die kompressie-fase te kom," verduidelik hy "Jy moet maar hoop dit vat vlam, anders begin jy van voor af Dit neem maklik 15 tot 20 minute net om die enjin aan te skakel Die hele proses sal by die skou gedemonstreer word," sê hy

Die spesifieke model wat vertoon gaan word, behoort aan die Koegelenbergfamilie van Clanwilliam
"Ons het die trekker in die laat 1960’s bekom My oupa het dit op ’n treinstasie naby Eendekuil in die Sandveld gaan haal om te restoureer toe hy hoor hulle wou dit opsny vir skrootmetaal Die meeste van hierdie trekkers is destyds uitgevoer vir skroot," vertel Suné Koegelenberg
Die restourasie is oor 40 jaar gedoen, en in 2011 is die enjin vir die eerste keer weer aangeskakel
"Dis ook nie maklik om te ry nie," sê sy "Ek het grootgeword met trekkers, maar ek weet nie hoe om hierdie een te bestuur nie Hy het nie ’n stuurwiel nie Jy stuur met hefbome aan albei kante Jy moet weet waar om te vat en waar om te los," sê sy
MEERAS100VETERAANTREKKERSOPUITSTALLING
Benewens dié seldsame Bulldog sal daar sowat 100 ander ten volle gerestoureerde veteraan-trekkers van oor die Wes-Kaap op skou wees Die trekkers dateer van tussen die 1920’s en 1980’s en sluit bekende
vervaardigers soos John Deere, Ferguson, Allis-Chalmers en Massey Harris in "Ons gaan ook groot pret hê met 50-meter trekkerresies, en liefhebbers van oudhede kan hul verlustig in ons 'klein erfgoed'uitstalling met items soos ou naaimasjiene en botterkarrings," sê Rheeder "Ons gaan kierangs braai en skuinskoek eet, en selfs in donkiebaler in aksie sien " ’n Donkiebaler is n ou meganiese masjien wat in die ou dae hooi of strooi in bale saamgepers het, en is aangedryf deur ’n trekdier soos ’n donkie, perd of os Die dier het in ’n sirkel gestap en so die roterende meganisme aangedryf wat die baler laat werk het
Hierdie masjien het ’n belangrike rol gespeel in die geskiedenis van landbou, veral in Suid-Afrika se plattelandse gebiede, lank voor die era van moderne trekkers
Verder sal daar ook ’n enjin van ’n Russiese spuitvliegtuig op uitstalling wees, asook n versameling weermagvuurwapens Kinders kan uitsien na ritte op ’n sleepwa wat deur ’n halfskaal-stoomtrekker getrek word, sowel as regte trekkerritte

Magda Louw, die kletskous sonder ‘n wag voor haar mond, gesels oor die waarde en waansin van woorde Van lag en treur in jou hartstaal, en die dinge wat ons soms sê wat eerder net ’n gedagte moes bly Sy't iets te sê oor die daaglikse uitdrukkings, gesegdes en idiome waarmee ons soms
situasies ontlont
Van haar kop in ‘n byenes steek tot op die hond se stert staan, speel sy oop kaarte sonder om heuning om enigiemand se mond te smeer Magda kan nie ’n les in letterkunde gee nie, maar wat sy wel aanbied, is 'n les in “kletterkunde” Sy vra die vrae waaroor sy self wonder: In watter taal droom jy? Waar kom sekere gesegdes vandaan en hoe maak 'n mens as jy en jou lewensmaat en/of kinders verskillende weergawes van dieselfde taal praat? . Bespreek by www dieboer com of by 021 979 1911

The draft Traffic Calming Policy outlines guidelines that will assist the City in assessing and managing applications for traffic calming measures (such as speed bumps and road signage) across the metro
Have your say on City’s traffic calming policy updates
The City of Cape Town is calling on residents and all interested parties to comment on its updated draft Traffic Calming Policy The public participation process opened on Friday 15 August and will close on Saturday 13 September
The draft policy outlines guidelines that will assist the City in assessing and managing applications for traffic calming measures (such as speed bumps and road signage) across the metro
According to Mikhail Manuel, chair of the Urban Mobility Portfolio Committee, the policy reflects input received during the City’s previous public consultation efforts
“The draft 2025 Traffic Calming Policy proposes the widest set of sustainable parameters to date by which the City can use traffic calming measures to make our roads safer for all users,” said Manuel
“The Urban Mobility Directorate was inspired by the public input during the Call for Ideas campaign We thank the public for their innovative concepts and call on the citizens of Cape Town to engage with this draft policy proposal ”
Rob Quintas, the City’s Mayco member for urban mobility, emphasised that the policy aims to safeguard the most vulnerable “Key objectives of the draft policy include establishing a sustainable programme that protects the most vulnerable road users, especially where they are most at risk, and recognises roadways as public assets meant for all users,” said Quintas
KEYPROPOSEDCHANGES
The draft policy introduces several significant updates:
.Greater flexibility to accommodate environmental differences, especially in high-pedestrian areas, through policy exceptions;
.Expanded scope for the design and implementation of traffic calming measures, under the City’s oversight;
.An increase in the baseline number of traffic calming interventions per financial year; and
.Proactive planning for traffic calming in new developments and land use applications
“The policy is designed to make it possible for traffic calming measures to be implemented in more scenarios than previously; while continuing to prioritise schools, walking routes in their vicinity and other public facilities,” Manuel added Printed submission forms are available at local subcouncil offices and City libraries, where the draft policy can also be viewed Note this consultation is specific to feedback on the draft policy, and not a call for individual traffic calming requests . Submit comments, recommendations or inputs via email to UrbanMobility CT@ capetown.gov.za (quote reference: 110252602) or visit www capetown.gov.za/haveyoursay for more information.

THINKING OUT LOUD
When goodbye comes too soon
It is a strange, almost unreal feeling to watch someone you love endure a grief so deep it seems to swallow them whole Two weeks ago, I watched my fiancé lose his mother, and I felt a pain unlike any I have ever known
It was not my mother, not my family, yet the weight of it pressed on me, leaving a hollowness I had never experienced before I wanted to reach out, to say the perfect words, to somehow ease the ache, but grief is not something that can be fixed with words And sympathy, however heartfelt, sometimes feels hollow when the loss is not your own I have been blessed to still have both my parents I have hugged them, laughed with them, shared the ordinary chaos of everyday life, and perhaps taken it all for granted Watching my fiancé navigate a world without his mother was a sudden, jarring reminder of how fragile life truly is Death does not send warnings, it does not schedule its arrivals at convenient times It comes uninvited, and the void it leaves is vast and echoing
Over the past week, I saw a man strong, capable, and loving confront the unimaginable: the absence of the one person who has been a constant presence in his life since birth His grief was raw and unfiltered, spilling into every corner of the room and touching everyone near him I wanted to comfort him, to hold him, to take away the sorrow, but I could only be there, quiet, present, a steady hand and listening heart
The pain was multiplied when I had to explain to our three-year-old that his “Ma” had gone to heaven The innocence of a child makes grief even more poignant His small face scrunched with confusion and disbelief “No,” he said repeatedly, “she went to work and will be back ”
BRIEWE / LETTERS
How can you tell a child that some people leave forever, that no one can bring them back? His world of stability and routine was shaken, and I could feel the heartbreak in every tremor of his voice We hugged, we whispered, we repeated that heaven was a special place, and yet, the simplicity of his understanding made my own emotions even more complicated How fortunate are those of us who still have mothers? To hear their voices, to feel their embrace, to know their love is something that should never be taken lightly
Yet life is fleeting In one week, a life can change completely Death is not a distant concept; it is a reality we cannot predict, and the reminder is both sobering and urgent: we must cherish the time we have with those we love I have learned, in watching my fiancé grief, that love is not diminished by loss; it is magnified Memories become sacred, every shared laugh, every quiet conversation, every simple gesture is etched more deeply into the heart And while sympathy can never replace presence, compassion, patience, and listening become small acts of sanctuary for those enduring the storm of grief
So this week has been devastating, yes, but it has also been a lesson: to hold those we love a little closer, to speak words that matter, to celebrate life in all its fragile beauty The loss we mourn today reminds us that tomorrow is not guaranteed, and it challenges us to live fully, to love fully, and to treasure the people who fill our lives with meaning
Grief is heavy, but so too is love And in the quiet spaces of sorrow, it is love that keeps us tethered to hope, to each other, and to the memory of those who are gone too soon -KAILINDANIELS

Nuwe spoedkamera kan verligting bring
In reaksie op die brief "Spoedkameras in Brackenfell-boulevard" (TygerBurger 13 Augustus), ek ry daardie roete daagliks soggens vanaf Hellingstraat na Proteaweg en smiddae vanaf Bottelary (verby die einste spoedkamera) na Helling en het al lankal gewonder hoekom daar nie enige vorm van verkeerskalmering by by enige van die kruisings is nie Veral op
die Brackenfell-boulevard kruising met Hellingstraat, aangesien daar 'n skool in die straat geleë is Soggens is dit 'n nagmerrie om regs uit Helling te draai
Die nuwe spoedkamera sal darem help om motoriste binne die spoedperk te hou en hopelik help dit om bietjie makliker in Brackenfell-boulevard in te draai ESTHER, Durbanville

Genies maak hul toerdebuut
’n Opgewonde groep van 58 jong rugby-, netbal- en hokkiespelers van die Laerskool Gene Louw in Durbanville het van 7 tot 8 Augustus hul heel eerste sporttoer meegemaak op besoek aan die Overberg en die Breëriviervallei
Die seuns en meisies in die o 9A- en B-spanne het in Hermanus teen Curro Hermanus en die Laerskool Hermanus kragte gemeet
In Worcester het hulle teen die primêre skole Wynland en Worcester te staan gekom
“Hoewel die toer suksesvol was wat uitslae betref, lê die grootste waarde in die algehele ervaring,” sê Daniël Blom, ’n rugbyafrigter en finalejaar-
onderwysstudent by die Laerskool Gene Louw, wat die o 9-toer vanjaar vir die derde keer vergesel het
“Vir die leerders is dit ’n voorreg om op so ’n jong ouderdom op ’n sporttoer te kan gaan waar kameraderie en spangees bo die resultate geplaas word,” sê hy “Ons kan werklik ’n verskil in ons spel sien ná ’n toer soos hierdie ”
Die skool se sportbestuurder, Surita Roberts, sê die skool het waardering vir die wyse waarop die groep deur hul gashere ontvang is “Hulle is met ope arms verwelkom en die gees was lekker by elke skool wat hulle besoek het Ons sê dankie en hoop om volgende jaar weer so te maak,” sê sy
