Some vandalised toilets at Marikana informal settlement in Lower Crossroads. PHOTO: UNATHI OBOSE dump human waste anywhere and dump it at night. The area is no longer fit for people, especially children, because it is filthy,” he said. He said that out of more than 7 000 shacks in the area, they have 20 communal taps. Nkqintiza highlighted crime as one of the major problems in the area with frequent shooting incidents. Mayco member for water and sanitation Zahid Badroodien said the City’s water and sanitation department is in the process of

replacing the missing toilet doors. Currently, there are 451 container toilets and 1 625 Portable Flush Toilets (PFTs) in the area, with services continuing without disruption. “On Tuesday, 1 September, the relevant City water and sanitation department visited the site with community leadership to investigate issues raised earlier in the year, including about 105 missing doors from the container toilet structures. It is understood that, following engagements

held between February and March, an agreement was reached for the team to return in the new financial year (from July 2026) to address the outstanding issues relating to doors and associated structures,” said Badroodien. He said an order has been placed for doors and repairs or replacements will be scheduled once the new stock is received. Badroodien urged residents to help the City look after toilet infrastructure in their area.

arikana residents in Lower Crossroads are calling on the City of Cape Town to install new chemical toilets and communal taps in the area to eradicate a potential health catastrophe. Residents say they are living in appalling conditions with limited communal taps and toilets due to vandals who are running amok in the area. The prevailing challenges have, according to residents polarised the community with people clashing over the ownership of the toilets. Residents are also being forced to seek alternative places, including nearby bushes to answer the call of nature. Community leader Loyiso Nkqintiza said the area has less than 200 toilets for a population of about 7 000 people. He added that they have been engaging with City officials regarding their plight, but their grievances have fallen on deaf ears. He said it has been three years since some of the communal toilets and taps stopped functioning. Initially, he said, the City had installed 451 chemical toilets, but currently fewer than 200 of them are functioning. He stressed that some residents are resorting to portable toilets. “The last time we engaged with City officials was on Tuesday, 1 September. They vowed to come back soon and they never came. Some of the vandalised toilets have no doors or toilet seats. Some of the communal taps have also been vandalised. Now we are facing a situation where we are fighting each other about using the toilet,” said Nkqintiza. He stressed that some people are using buckets and plastic bags to relieve themselves, comparing the area to a pigsty. Nkqintiza said the area stinks because of the mess. “People are doing as they please. They

sikhokho or crust crust caused a lot of confrontation or contestation during my childhood days. The good old days when boys were boys and would fight over food, crust or breadcrumbs left by teachers during the school interval. The days when boys would fight over meat at emgidini (initiation ceremony). The days when boys would create toys from clay or wire. The days when boys would not take a bath for days, especially during school holidays. The days when boys would be teased to fight each other. The days when boys would get a gash and hide it from their parents; instead, they would conceal it with soil until it healed. The days when boys would spend most of

their winter holidays in the wild hunting rats and birds for a special treat. This was not a matter of choice, but a significant sign of poverty and lack among learners. If you do not know what I am talking about, you are either very young or you grew up in a rich family. As junior secondary school learners we would patiently wait outside the staff room while teachers ate their lunch, mostly a quarter loaf of bread with jam and peanut butter or whatever. As they walked out, we would pounce like hawks to lay our hands on all the leftovers or crusts left behind. There was no shame in that. Circumstances compelled us to fight over what the teachers left behind. Eating crust was never an issue. On a day when we happened to have a bit of cash and clubbed together for a loaf of bread, we would always argue about who got the crusts on either end of the bread. Those were the joys of growing up in the village and they brought us a lot closer together. They also encouraged humanity as we often shared everything. We valued everything no matter how big or small. We learnt to be grateful and content with what we had. As a father to six kids and three grandchildren, I often wonder where things changed. Our kids are nothing compared to us. They are so fragile and have this deep-rooted sense of entitlement. As parents we are indebted to them.

They are not shy about telling you that “I did not bring myself into this world, you brought me here and so you must provide.” They are excellent at instilling guilt in their parents and are very lazy. They spend most of their time scrolling through their phones in their bedrooms. When someone walked into our homes, they would bet there were no children. If you ask them to do basic household chores, they are not afraid to accuse you of abuse. I often wonder who is abusing whom in a family set-up? To build a warm family environment, parents and children should work as a collective. However, as parents we are expected to do everything while our kids live like they are in a hotel. We have kind of accepted this disgusting behaviour. My biggest frustration, though, is their blatant refusal to eat isikhokho. None of my kids eat isikhokho for no tangible reason. To make matters worse, they leave every plastic bread bag in the bread bin for either my wife or me to clear. If we do not remove those plastics and crusts from the bread bin, they remain there and grow mould. This is so annoying. I always thought it was only my children who behaved in this fashion until a colleague expressed a similar frustration last week. As I pen this column, I am in absolute awe and wondering where things went so wrong. Are children in charge of our households or do we overcompensate them for their happiness to our detriment?

Drunk driver caught with ﬁrearm, drugs Traffic Fine Roadshow in Parow STAFF REPORTER Officers attached to the Traffic Services Highway Patrol Unit arrested a suspect on a range of charges on the N2 near Mew Way on Thursday 10 September. The City’s traffic services spokesperson, Kevin Jacobs, said the officers were on patrol on the N2 outbound just before 19:00 when they spotted a Mercedes swerving across the roadway. He said after stopping the vehicle officers detected a strong smell of alcohol on the driver’s breath. “He consented to a breath-alcohol test that returned a reading of 0.67 mg/L, nearly three times the legal limit.

then spotted what appeared to be a firearm in the vehicle, prompting a search. They removed an imitation firearm, a bag of what appeared to be cocaine and three rounds of ammunition.” Jacobs said the driver was arrested for drunken driving, possession of an imitation firearm, drugs and ammunition. “The suspect and seized items were handed over to Khayelitsha police for further investigation and processing. The incident highlights the importance of proactive patrols by the Traffic Services Highway Patrol Unit, particularly on high-risk routes, in identifying dangerous driving behaviour and removing potentially dangerous items from the road.”

Motorists who want settle outstanding fines, warrants or have queries regarding a road-traffic infringements are invited to attend the City of Cape Town’s Traffic Fine Roadshow in Parow. The roadshow is on until Saturday 19 September, from 08:30, at the Parow Civic Centre in Tallent Road. Traffic Services, the Revenue Department, municipal court representatives and other internal departments operate at one point. They’ll assist with traffic-fine and warrant enquiries, fine reductions, payment of fines and warrants, admission-of-guilt fines and removal of warrant administration marks. Said JP Smith, Mayco member for safety and security: “The public can finalise fines and warrants at a single service point... The benefit is a dent in a massive backlog of outstanding fines and the associated administration.” ID or an affidavit if acting for another is needed.

No DNA, Just RSA: Proud to be South African “Imagine not being a South African.” “No DNA, just RSA.” 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 indi-

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 prob-

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.”

Concerns over sex report at school UNATHI OBOSE

he Western Cape Education Department (WCED) has refused to comment on claims of learners having sex inside the classroom at Esangweni High School in Kuyasa, Khayelitsha, while their peers look on. The allegations surfaced on social media on Wednesday last week, 9 September, with users expressing different views. According to the report, the act involved Grade 12 learners. They allegedly had sex in class and the matter was brought to school management when the culprits wanted to do this for the second time. “Today during the lunch break a similar

thing happened in the girls toilets while all the other toilets were in use. This is an alleged trend and it’s done no matter who is in the toilets, they just do what they want to do,” read the report, published in isiXhosa. “We need intervention, we do not know what to do with learners at Sangweni. They are busy with trial examinations now and this is a curse.” One of the users wrote: “Dismiss the culprits, that is all.” “This is the consequence of drugs, even girls use drugs at school these days,” another user wrote. “What were your thoughts when you terminated school prayers?” another user asked

“Call their parents, then dismiss them so that they could continue with their unbecoming behaviour away from the school,” shared another user. Approached for comment, Bronagh Hammond, WCED spokesperson, said the department had become aware of the concerning allegations through media enquiries and was urgently engaging the school in establishing the facts. “The matter has not previously been reported to the district, so it would therefore be premature to comment on the specifics at this stage. Should the allegations be substantiated, they will be dealt with through appropriate disciplinary and support processes.”

Meanwhile, the Khayelitsha Development Forum (KDF) said it regarded the reports of learners having sex in the classroom, with other learners looking on, in a serious light. KDF chair Mawande Jara said he was aware of the reports and his organisation would investigate the matter. He said the alleged behaviour was indicative of a broken community. “We cannot blame the teachers for our children’s actions. We need to blame our community because these learners absorb the values and behaviour they see around them, which means we have a sick community. We need to call on all community stakeholders and address this problem.”

Codeta prays for peace after wave of taxi violence UNATHI OBOSE Members of the Cape Organisation for the Democratic Taxi Association (Codeta) gathered at Kuwait Taxi Rank in Site C on Thursday 10 September for a special prayer service for unity and peace, in which taxi drivers appealed for God’s protection. Assistant secretary in the Codeta regional office Mziwamatolo Nombila described the service as part of a campaign to foster peace and harmony in the industry. He said one way of ensuring as wide a

consensus as possible on this need is to host a massive prayer service presided over by all Khayelitsha’s church leaders. “We are here to pray for safe trips and an end to the killings in the association. We also want to build trust with our commuters. In the last three months we lost about five taxi owners to taxi violence. We want to stop all the taxi violence. We want peace.” Nombila said on Friday 4 September a peace deal was signed with the Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association (Cata) to stop

the violence between the two associations. Nombila said Codeta was using all means to keep stability in the industry. Khayelitsha Methodist minister Rev Mnoneleli Dondolo urged taxi owners to be strong in their trust in God’s grace and providence in whatever they do. He emphasised that the taxi association is the only black-owned business in the province and needs to be supported. “We are appealing to the taxi owners, that when they are facing challenges they mustn’t give up. They must fight for their

business.” Khayelitsha Development Forum (KDF) chair Mawande Jara described the service as not being limited to the association but reaching the community at large. He said many communities are vulnerable. “We are here to pray for the association, but we are also praying for our children who are writing trial examinations and for all the bad things that are happening in our communities. We are looking for peace,” Jara concluded.

Taxi bosses attend the prayer service.

SANTACO mourns 22 dead in two separate road accidents STAFF REPORTER The South African National Taxi Council (Santaco) Western Cape is saddened by two tragic road accidents involving minibus taxis that occurred within 24 hours of each other. The first, which occurred about 23:30 on the N1 between Leeu-Gamka and the R353 that leads to Prince Albert, on Sunday 13 September, involving two minibus taxis and a station wagon, saw at least 21 people die. The other occurred on Monday the 14th on Nelson Mandela Boulevard on the outskirts of the city, in which one person died and 13 were injured. Santaco WC public relations officer Makhosandile Tumana said the organisation extended its heartfelt condolences to the

families, friends and loved ones of those who lost their lives. He said thoughts and prayers were with them all as well as all the injured, that their strength would be restored and they would make a full recovery. “We are deeply saddened by this tragic loss of life. Behind every life lost is a family and a community now grieving, and our thoughts and prayers are with them at this incredibly difficult time. May the souls of those who lost their lives rest in peace. “As an industry entrusted with transporting people every day we carry a responsibility to put safety first. Santaco WC does not condone reckless or irresponsible driving, and we continue to urge all operators and drivers to exercise the highest level of care and responsibility on our roads.” Tumana said where public-transport op-

erators are involved Santaco WC would engage with the relevant authorities and structures to establish the facts and ensure the appropriate processes are followed. “The circumstances surrounding these incidents remain under investigation. We therefore urge the public and media to al-

low the relevant authorities to complete their investigations. Santaco WC will not speculate on the causes or apportion blame before the facts have been established.” Santaco WC is in solidarity with the families and communities and is committed to safer and responsible public transport.

Social workers on go-slow

UNATHI OBOSE

orkers at the Khayelitsha’s Department of Social Development (DSD) have vowed to indefinitely embark on a “go-slow” until their grievances have been addressed, citing safety as their main concern. According to the employees, mainly social workers, their lives are at risk with criminals regularly on the prowl. Several workers have allegedly been hijacked in the last three years, making their work untenable. It is alleged that up to at least 30 government vehicles have either been hijacked or stolen in the course of duty every year since 2023. Workers are now demanding extra security and protection. On Wednesday 9 September, they protested at the DSD premises, calling on management to listen to their grievances. Speaking on behalf of the workers, National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) secretary in Khayelitsha Makhaya Jezile, an employee in the department, said car hijackings are becoming a major problem in Khayelitsha. He said it all started in February 2023, when 11 cars were taken in one night. He said the perpetrators tied up the security guards and left with the cars. “No fewer than 30 carjackings, including attempted carjackings, have been reported each year since 2023. The most recent incident occurred on Thursday 3 September, when criminals came out of nowhere and took a messenger’s Toyota Hilux at the entrance while the security guards were busy searching the car.”Jezile emphasised that as long as department workers’ demands were not addressed the protests would continue. He described their actions as peaceful. He stated that they met with junior management to address their concerns and were forwarded to the provincial DSD office. “The provincial department vowed to resolve our problem, but urged us to work while they tried to resolve it,” Jezile explained, adding that the protest was immediately suspended and staff returned to

work. However, he stressed that workers would not conduct home visits until their grievances have been resolved. “As long as the provincial department has not responded we won’t do home visits. We understand the impact our strike has on the community, but we also need to be protected. Our clients coming to our offices is not enough. As social workers we have to do follow-ups and see clients in their homes.” Mzanywa Ndibongo, Khayelitsha Health Forum (KHF) chair, urged all the stakeholders to come on board to resolve the impasse, saying the community is suffering the most. Western Cape Minister of Social Development Wendy Kaizer-Philander said clients who cannot make it there can contact the office telephonically to schedule an appointment. “Home visits will be done via scheduled appointments, and with the support of law enforcement. In the case of a child-protection emergency after hours residents can contact the officers, who are also mandated by the Children’s Act to remove children from dangerous situations.” Kaizer-Philander said senior management met with staff last week, where feedback was given on security measures currently in place, with commitments made to enhance certain aspects. “Also discussed was stronger enforcement of the existing measures. We cannot share the specifics of the upgrades as this will further compromise the safety and security of staff and the building. Since 2023, there have been 82 hijackings of our employees while driving government vehicles. This includes social work staff in local and regional offices, staff from Head Office, and staff at our child and youth care centres. There have been 23 incidents across the province since 1 April 2026, with seven of these incidents taking place in Khayelitsha.” DSD staff remain committed to rendering services, but called on the community to help protect social workers and DSD staff, and to report any information to the police.

Sangena shack dwellers protest for electricity access UNATHI OBOSE Shack dwellers from Sangena in Lower Crossroads took to the streets early on Wednesday morning 9 September, barricading New Eisleben and Bristol roads to demand service delivery from the City of Cape Town. Protesters are calling on the City to install electricity in the area, saying they have occupied the land for over six years but seen little development. Community member Siphosethu Mendela accused the City of ignoring residents. “We’ve been engaging with the City several times but our pleas fall on deaf ears. We have been trying to talk to them since early this year, but to no avail. We will protest until the City responds,” said Mendela. She highlighted crime as a major problem, saying criminals kick down their doors at night to steal. “Our councillor doesn’t help us. We tried to engage with him, with no help,” she claimed. In a statement, the City explained that the informal settlement is located on privately owned land and falls within an Eskom supply area, directing residents to contact Eskom directly. Philippi is a complex area comprising unplanned informal settlements, many in Eskom supply areas and a large majority on privately owned land, the City explained. “Where the City owns the land and where

Library closes for R14.8m upgrade UNATHI OBOSE The Hector Peterson Memorial Library in Lwandle is temporarily closed for renovations. Patrons are asked to go to nearby libraries. The project started in March and is expected to be completed later this year. Ward 86 councillor, Xolani Diniso, described the library as an asset to the community. He said its refurbishment will bring a fresh look to the facility. “The renovation is expected to be completed in December if everything goes according to plan, and [the library] is ex-

pected to reopen early next year. “It is like we are rebuilding it because it is going to double the library’s size. It will have a bigger children’s section, additional study spaces and SmartCape facilities for all user groups,” said Diniso. According to Diniso users can visit nearby libraries, including those in Somerset West, Strand and Gordon’s Bay while work is underway. The project will cost over R14 million, he said, and its facelift will raise the area’s standard. Diniso urged community members to be patient.

it is in a City-supplied electricity area and within planned resources, which are not unlimited, the City will do its best to provide some level of service depending on the specific conditions. In older, existing informal settlements on City-owned land, more than 92% have been electrified,” the statement read. The City said it respects the right to protest and maintains an open-door policy for all community members, encouraging communities to approach it in good faith and in a peaceful, constructive manner. “However, in this case, this is not Cityowned land nor a City electricity supply area and the City adheres to the laws regulating these matters,” the City said. Efforts to get comment from Eskom were fruitless; the utility failed to respond to questions emailed to it. In a statement, Eskom said the entity electrifies areas within municipal jurisdiction when the municipality applies for electrification and provides Eskom with confirmation that the area meets all the Department of Electricity and Energy (DEE) policy requirements. “An application was received from the City on Wednesday, 5 August, for Siyangena in Philippi. As part of the DEE policy requirements, the City was informed that it needed to provide approval for electrification from the private landowners. Eskom has not received such approval.”

Residents of Khayelitsha are demanding that officers be regularly tested to ensure that they are fit to drive. The remarks came after a police van collided with another vehicle and overturned at the intersection of Mew Way and Japhta K Masemola Road in Site C, on Sunday 13 September. Community member Inga Sobopha said it is shocking to see a police van involved in an accident. She said she suspected that the officers were under the influence of liquor. “The officers are bullies on the road. They drive as they please. I wouldn’t be surprised if the officers were drunk. At what speed were they driving for the vehicle to overturn?” asked Sobopha, adding that fortunately no one died. Khayelitsha Safety and Security Forum chair Bonga Zamisa urged the government to investigate the cause of the incident. He stated that the incident has an impact

on society as local police stations are facing limited resources. “We are pleased that there were no major injuries or any fatalities reported. However, we are appealing to the police department to investigate the matter. “Khayelitsha is facing a shortage of police vans. Now, the one involved might take so long to repair, which could place a huge strain on the community,” said Zamisa. Provincial police spokesperson Const Ndakhe Gwala said the office confirmed that Khayelitsha police opened a case of reckless and negligent driving following an accident that occurred at a robot-controlled intersection near Mew Way on Sunday at about 12:45. “A marked police vehicle collided with a Toyota Yaris and overturned. “One officer sustained a slight injury to the shoulder and is receiving medical treatment. The circumstances surrounding the incident are under investigation,” said Gwala.

DJ Ready D among SA’s best

KAYLYNNE BANTOM

or decades Deon Daniels, better known as DJ Ready D, has been more than a familiar name in South African hiphop; he has been part of the culture’s evolution, helping create platforms for emerging artists and taking Cape Town’s sound to wider audiences. The Cape Town hip-hop veteran was honoured with a Ministerial Commendation at the Western Cape Cultural Awards at Artscape on Wednesday 9 September for his contribution to South African hip-hop and its role in shaping cultural identity. This event celebrates the contributions made in the fields of arts, culture, language, heritage, libraries, museums and archives in the province. Winners were crowned in various categories: Paul Hanmer, Thoko Ntshinga and John Maytham were among those honoured with Enduring Legacy Awards for their lifetime contributions to South Africa's music, performing arts, broadcasting, literature and cultural life. For Ready D the award is not only about recognising his own work. “Getting this award gives me an opportunity to reflect on the years and the work done. On so many occasions you can't take stock of that because you are constantly busy working.

“It reminds me of the people that’s been involved with my journey. This is also about acknowledging them.”

Hip Hop ingrained in local culture Ready D said it also gives hip-hop a stronger place in government spaces and could help open doors for other young artists. “For the Hip Hop community it is amazing because it gives that part of the culture an opportunity to have a presence within government circles. That is one of the ways to open up the doors for other artists to get the recognition as well. Hip Hop culture has done a lot for South African identity, especially in the City of Cape Town. If we listen to Hip Hop from South Africa you can hear in each region people are making music and rapping in their own language.” Ready D also highlighted Cape Town's strong connection to hip-hop and its influence on the city’s Afrikaans music and language. “In Cape Town we fully embrace all the elements of the culture as well. There is a huge movement of Afrikaans Hip Hop in Cape Town. Hip Hop in Cape Town has also influenced what’s known as Afrikaaps words as well.” Career highlights Reflecting on his career highlights, DJ Ready D highlighted his time in mainstream radio as one of his biggest achieve-

Desalination plant faces a further 10-year delay KAILIN DANIELS

Plans for a permanent desalination plant have suffered a major setback, with the project now facing a possible five-year delay after Transnet indicated it needs the proposed Paarden Eiland site for the expansion of the Port of Cape Town. The City is now searching for an alternative location for the plant. The latest Water Outlook report indicates that finding a suitable replacement site and restarting the required environmental assessment process could push the project back by about five years. The permanent plant is now expected to become operational only around 2036. Combined major dam storage level stood at 75,4% in early September, with Theewaterskloof Dam at 76%, Berg River Dam at 91%, Wemmershoek Dam at 90%, Voëlvlei Dam at 59%, Steenbras Upper at 84% and Steenbras Lower at 49%.

Transnet forces site rethink On 21 August Mayco member for water and sanitation Zahid Badroodien told council the City was investigating “alternative locations” for the proposed plant. The Paarden Eiland site had already progressed through the scoping phase of its environmental-impact assessment, meaning the City will now have to identify another suitable location and undertake further environmental work. The delay comes as Cape Town’s water demand continues to increase. The City of Cape Town Water Outlook report shows no immediate threat to water supply, but increasing demand and lower year-on-year dam levels mean water restrictions have not been ruled out. The latest says the city could reach its maximum allocation from the Western Cape’s major supply dams

Proposed location of the Paarden Eiland desalination plant. within the next two years. The dams also supply other municipalities and agriculture, meaning Cape Town cannot rely on all the water stored in the system. The City’s current rate of water-demand growth has been described as unsustainable. While the city is not currently facing an immediate Day Zero scenario, officials have warned that growing consumption and a drier-than-usual season are putting pressure on available supplies.

City remains committed to desalination Despite the setback Badroodien said the City remained committed to developing a permanent desalination plant too. “We are committed to advancing our water security by developing a permanent desalination plant, among all other interventions which comprise the New Water Programme.” He said the City was drawing on a range of expertise and exploring different options to ensure future water-treatment technologies meet safety and regulatory standards. The proposed plant had been expected to produce between 50 million and 70 million litres of water daily and was part of the City’s strategy to increase new water production by 2030.

WC dams stable as weather stays unpredictable Dam levels across the Western Cape have held relatively steady last week, with only marginal declines recorded across key water-supply systems for Cape Town, but the Department of Water and Sanitation is urging residents not to let their guard down. Acting provincial head Mkhevu Mnisi warned that unpredictable weather patterns mean the province cannot afford to be complacent about water security. The latest data the Cape Town System

Dams overall decreased from 75,81% last week, to 75,00% this week. The Western Cape State of Dams recorded a decline from 79,73% to 79,53%, while Theewaterskloof Dam, the largest in the Cape Town water-supply system, has declined from 76,03% to 75,94%. Mnisi urged residents, businesses and industries to use water responsibly and avoid wastage to safeguard the sustainability and resilience of the Western Cape’s water resources.

ments, saying it allowed him to give young and unknown artists a platform to showcase their talent. He also spoke about his experiences with Brasse van die Kaap and Prophets of the City as well as working in different roles and travelling internationally.

Getting on government’s radar important Ready D said greater recognition from government organisations could help create more opportunities for young artists and support the development of hip-hop as a culture. “Getting onto the radar of government organisations is important, especially if we are focused on the developmental side of hip-hop as a culture. I think it needs to sit with government to see how we are able to unlock opportunities for young artists.” Ready D also expressed his gratitude to the department and said he was “honoured and humbled” by the award. Western Cape Minister of Cultural Affairs and Sport Ricardo Mackenzie said the arts, culture and heritage tell the story of who we are as a province. “The Cultural Awards give us an opportunity to recognise the extraordinary people who have dedicated their lives to enriching the Western Cape, and who have played an important role in shaping the story and history of our province.

CapeNature offers free entry at reserves Western Cape residents are being encouraged to explore the province's natural heritage during CapeNature's 12th annual Access Week, when general day-visitor fees will be waived from Saturday 19 to Friday 25 September.

Free access Held under the theme "Nature is for Everyone", CapeNature's annual campaign will offer free walk-in entry to participating reserves for day visitors. The waiver covers general day-visitor fees for activities including hiking, mountain biking, birdwatching and picnics, the provincial government said. Free access will be available to walkin day visitors at participating reserves across the province. Participating reserves by region: ○ West Coast: Groot Winterhoek, Bird Island and Rocherpan; ○ Central: Kogelberg, Hottentots Holland, Jonkershoek, Assegaaibosch, Limietberg and Stony Point; ○ South: Walker Bay, De Mond, De Hoop, Marloth, Grootvadersbosch, Geelkrans and Vrolijkheid; ○ Garden Route: Robberg, Keurbooms River, Goukamma and Outeniqua; ○ Karoo: Swartberg, Gamkaberg and

Anysberg.

Building on last year's campaign This year's initiative builds on the track record established during the 11th Access Week last year, when 9 543 visitors enjoyed free entry. During last year's campaign, CapeNature also hosted 16 facilitated community programmes across 13 Western Cape areas, including Lavender Hill, Mamre, Chatsworth, Lamberts Bay and Oudtshoorn. The programmes introduced youth groups, schools and special needs groups to protected natural spaces. Breaking down barriers to nature "CapeNature's Access Week plays a vital role in breaking down financial barriers and ensuring that our protected natural areas are inclusive and welcoming to all. When residents experience our mountains, coastlines and fynbos firsthand, they develop a sense of ownership and become active custodians of our environment. We encourage families and communities across the province to make the most of this week and explore the natural spaces right on their doorstep," said Dave Bryant, provincial spokesperson on Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning.

CPUT back to class after ‘riots’ KAYLYNNE BANTOM Classes resumed at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) on Monday, 14 September, following a three-week closure due to violent protests. The closure followed an arson attack on the old Education Building at the Bellville campus on Monday 17 August. The unrest was linked to student dissatisfaction over registration fees, accommodation costs, CPUT’s financial-recovery plan, historical student debt, residence conditions and academic records. Protests erupted after students objected to certain aspects of the draft 2027 Financial Recovery Plan, which they claimed called for up to R7 000 just to register. Lauren Kansley, CPUT spokesperson, said measures were in place to ensure academic activities continued. “We have various catch-up plans to make up for lost time. Plans also remain on track for the annual December graduation ceremony.” She said the institution was protecting its academic programme and ensuring a

peaceful conclusion to the year. “As one of largest universities in the Western Cape and the country protecting the academic project is our top priority...” Kansley said the final cost of the damage had not yet been determined. “For any venues damaged there are alternative arrangements as we commence academics, which apply until until repairs are complete.” Higher Education and Training Minister Buti Manamela deployed a team to work with CPUT management, council and student leadership. The SRC also rejected the proposed fee and called for residence costs to be reduced where they exceed the NSFAS funding cap. Students also demanded an independent forensic investigation into CPUT’s finances. Following escalating protests, some of it fiery, the CPUT Council withdrew the draft financial plan for further consultation. Manamela said his team would establish the facts behind student grievances, identify issues to be resolved immediately and develop a clear, time-bound process to address outstanding concerns.

Come raise your voices and celebrate unity

Capetonians from all walks of life across the city are encouraged to attend and add their unique voices to this year’s ubuntu-inspired celebration of World Singing Day on Saturday 17 October. Organisers are looking for 1 400 voices to come together for a special event, joining choirs and musicians in a powerful celebration of community and unity. This massed singing experience will feature guest appearances by homegrown songstress Vicky Sampson and Khayelitsha-based singer-songwriter Mohau Moahloli. The theme of this year’s Cape Town event is particularly resonant in a country as diverse as South Africa. The event celebrates what unites South Africans rather than what divides them, bringing people of different ages, cultures, faiths, musical backgrounds and communities into one shared experience. It is an expression of ubuntu: the understanding that our humanity is strengthened through our connection with one another. For one evening individual voices become one collective voice. Cape Town will join communities around the world in the 15th annual World Singing Day, at 18:30. This global celebration brings people together through the simple but extraordinary act of singing together. World Singing Day takes place annually, on the third Saturday of October. The international movement connects communities around the world through singing, with the central message “Sing together. Unite the world.” Hosted by The Heartsong Collective, a

Disabled artists on a global stage

ape Town-based Unmute Dance Theatre is taking South African inclusive dance to the international stage when it joins the prestigious WOMAD Cape Town 2026 programme this month. The company will perform a dance piece, United 4 Humanity Peace Concert at Artscape Theatre on Saturday 19 September at 20:00, along with an exceptional line-up of South African and international artists. The new collaborative choreographic work is inspired by the enduring legacy of Archbishop Desmond Tutu and forms part of this year’s WOMAD commemoration of Archbishop Tutu and his lifelong commitment to peace, equality, justice and human dignity. For Unmute, the invitation represents more than an opportunity to perform at an iconic international festival. It is a significant moment for inclusive contemporary dance and for placing disabled artists and their creative voices firmly within the global cultural conversation. The company will premiere a 12-minute choreographic work, directed and choreographed by Sasha Fourie, with performances by Director of Unmute Dance Theatre Nadine McKenzie, Andile Vellem and Fourie. The work is being created in collaboration with Dyskinetic, a United Kingdom (UK) based disabled-led arts collective supported by the UK High Commission, whose original music, rooted in cutting-edge technology and creative expression that challenge ableism, amplify disabled voices and reimagine accessibility as a source of power will form the soundscape for the performance. Rather than attempt to recreate or dramatise Tutu’s life Unmute’s work takes a more considered approach, exploring the ideas, values and moral questions that shaped his public legacy. At its heart the choreography considers what it means to possess a moral compass as a nation, to stand firmly against inequality while retaining compassion and to become a symbol of freedom without losing sight of humanity. “Archbishop Tutu’s legacy is not simply a story from our past,” said Mckenzie. “It continues to ask us difficult questions about how we live with one another, how we respond to injustice and what it means to choose compassion. Through movement we are interested in exploring those questions rather than recreating a person. The

work allows the audience to encounter these ideas through the bodies, experiences and perspectives of our performers.” The collaboration with Dyskinectic adds another important dimension to the project. Two inclusive artistic organisations, operating from South Africa and the UK, are bringing their respective creative practices together to create a work that demonstrates how disability, inclusion and artistic excellence can transcend borders. For Unmute, a company that produces works that consistently challenge conventional perceptions of disability and who belongs on the stage, the collaboration reinforces the company’s belief that inclusive art is not a specialist category, but part of the cultural mainstream. “Being invited onto a platform such as WOMAD gives us an opportunity to show audiences that artists with disabilities are not simply participants in the arts,” said Mckenzie. “We are creators, choreographers, performers and storytellers with an important contribution to make.” The performance will form part of a powerful evening celebrating Archbishop Tutu’s legacy of hope, reconciliation and unity, presented in partnership with the Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation. Unmute will share the stage with artists from South Africa and across the world, including international performers from the UK, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Estonia, Austria and New Zealand. For Cape Town, the presence of Unmute within the WOMAD programme also highlights the city’s growing role as a meeting point for international cultural exchange. The festival creates a platform where local artistic voices can engage directly with global creative practices, while audiences are given an opportunity to experience South African stories through diverse artistic forms. Unmute’s participation is particularly significant in a year in which WOMAD places heritage, humanity, cultural exchange and inclusion at the centre of its programme. The company hopes that the collaboration will extend beyond a single performance, opening further opportunities for international partnerships, touring and creative exchange between inclusive artists and organisations.

From the streets -@4$$EIEKM$ .@K94*M&4 >(&"QE* to Mexico City KEANAN HARMSE

group of local young men hailing from Lotus River, Grassy Park, Ottery and Phumlani Village are hoping they qualify to compete and represent the national team on foreign soil for next year’s Homeless World Cup.The tournament is scheduled to take place in Mexico City next year and runs from Sunday 17 January to Saturday 23 January. The Homeless World Cup is an annual international street football tournament organised by the Homeless World Cup Foundation to advocate for and support people experiencing homelessness. More than 500 players from across the globe will take part in this tournament next year. The 30 young men could be representing a Schaapkraal-based non-profit organisation (NPO) Oasis “Reach For Your Dreams”, at the tournament next year according to Oasis founder Clifford Martinus. Oasis provides life skills training, violence prevention programmes, and community upliftment to at-risk youth. People’s Post spoke with some of the players to learn about their journeys and personal challenges leading up to the tournament. For Siphosethu Dyakophi the beautiful game serves as a vital shield

against the dangers of gang recruitment. “Being unemployed is the biggest challenge, but I always find soccer helped me not to get involved in gangsterism. I want to travel and fight for my place and South Africa and make my parents proud,” he said. For Luyolo Thomas, who has faced severe family hardship and unemployment in the Eastern Cape, the World Cup trials offered a safe space away from crimes of desperation. “To represent my country, it would boost my confidence and improve my opportunities and capabilities on the football pitch. No matter what situation we are in, we must keep doing the right thing and don’t fall down,” Thomas shared, noting that a spot on the pitch would vastly boost his confidence. Yonela from Langa viewed the selection as an unexpected second chance at life after being ineligible a decade ago. Backed by strong family encouragement and inspired by coaches who previously played in the tournament, Yonela described the potential trip as an absolute dream come true. Anybody who wishes to assist with sponsorships, flights, or apparel donations is urged to get involved directly. Phone Clifford Martinus at 082 945 4812 to support the team.

WALKING COMMUNITY FUN DAY

Legends unite for friend

occer legends from across the Western Cape showed they can still teach the young ones how it is done at the Walking Community Fun Day on Sunday 13 September in Belgravia. The event, a fundraiser to assist soccer legend Farouk Abraham with his cancer treatment, was organised in collaboration with Farouk Abrahams Goalkeeper Academy, Football Kings, I Surve Philanthropies and Walking Football Cape Town, amongst others. A total of 16 soccer teams participated in the five-aside event and represented families, businesses, ex-clubs and community organisations. The teams were Santos, Hellenic, Battswood, Cape Town Spurs, Glendene, Wynberg St. Johns, Walking for health, Gladiators, Simply the Best, Davids Family, Adams Family, Walking Football Cape Town Elders, Hammertime, Kuils River, Play sport 4 Life, Astro Paints, Schaapkraal Warriors, Federation Leg-

ends, Duncan Crowie Legends and All Star Legends. Food stalls sold koesisters, lamb akhni and boerewors rolls among others. For the kids a tuckshop catered to all their needs as well as fun and games. The Fun Day was really a family day in the true sense of the word as families came out to spend the day with soccer legends. The legends who were well-known in their playing days included Duncan Crowie, Nazeem Isaacs, Michael Smith, Cassiem Mohamed and Nooroedien September. In the main match Duncan Crowie Legends took on the Walking Football Cape Town Legends in a five-a-side exhibition match and lost 4-1. Isaacs says they were all glad it was only a fun day and not a regular match of 90 plus minutes as the legs and the lungs were not what they used to be in their heydays. Abrahams says he appreciates his soccer rivals and team mates from yesteryear assisting in raising funds to help with his medical bills and cancer treatment.
