gekom. Volgens Els het hulle die man instinktief te hulp gesnel. “Ons het besef dit is sonder twyfel die regte ding om te doen.”
Constance is verlede Woensdag (9 September) tydens ’n hengeluitstappie deur twee tienerseuns uit die water oorkant Blake’s Terrace gered. Hy sê hy het net ná 18:00 met sononder links van die Pavilion, tussen Binneklip en Eiland – soos hengelaars na die omgewing verwys – gehengel. Die water was ’n bietjie vlak en hy het besluit om dieper in te beweeg. Hy het “tot by die sloepie” gekom toe hy deur die stroom meegesleur is. “Ek het tevergeefs probeer uitswem,” het hy vertel. Twee 18-jarige seuns, Marcé Els en Stephan Niemann, wat ook in die omgewing visgevang het, het tot sy redding
PANIEKBEVANGE Hulle het probeer om Constance se aasgordel en vissak los te maak, maar kon dit nie loskry nie. “Ons kon sien dat Dawood paniekbevange was en dat water sy baadjie ingestroom het,” het Els gesê. Els het sy visstok vir Constance gegee sodat hy hom teen die stroom kon skraag en bo water kon bly. Niemann het hom in die rigting van die rif gedruk terwyl Els die uitgeputte hengelaar op sy skouer laat leun en hom rustig gehou het. Saam het hulle hom na ’n hoër klip gehelp. “Dinge kon so vinnig verkeerd geloop het. Ons is net dankbaar dat die Here ons beskerm het en dat ons hom kon red.” Volgens Constance was hy verras dat die stroom so sterk was. Hy is ’n jare lange hengelaar en goeie swemmer, maar is bewus daarvan dat ’n mens nie die see kan onderskat nie. “Ek het vroeër gesien

hoe die stroom my lyn na links getrek het, maar nie daarop ag geslaan nie. Toe het die stroom presies wat hy met my lyn gedoen het, met my voete gedoen.” Constance onthou dat hy vir ’n tydjie op die klip gestaan het totdat hy weer normaal kon asem haal. “Ek was lighoofdig, my spiere was moeg en terwyl die ligte branders teen my geslaan het, was ek nie by my volle bewussyn nie.” Hoewel hy van sy toerusting, insluitend sy staanders, in die water kwyt is, is hy dankbaar dat hy die voorval oorleef het. “Ek is net dankbaar vir die seuns wat met sulke dapperheid en moed die see aangedurf en hul lewe op die spel geplaas het om ’n vreemdeling te help red.” ‘DINGE KON SOVEEL ANDERS GEWEES HET’ Sy verloofde, Cheney Henneberry (34), het haar skok en dankbaarheid uitgespreek. “Dinge kon soveel anders gewees het. Soms spook die hele ding nog by my en dwing my onverwags tot trane.” Sy is net bly dat hy weer met haar en

Constance deel die volgende veiligheidswenke, wat deur sy beste vriende en ervare medehengelaars, Ryno Prinsloo en Jaco Potgieter, met hom gedeel is: “Moet nooit alleen gaan hengel nie. Sorg dat jy die regte klere het. Bestudeer die visvangterrein en seetoestande. Nuwelinge moet saam met ervare hengelaars gaan.” Prinsloo het hom ná die voorval grappenderwys ’n “oorveeg” gegee oor die veiligheidswenke wat hy verontagsaam het – en toe eers die “preek” begin.

Alert leads to quick rescue A quick phone call from a 61-year-old hiker who had injured her ankle at Helderberg Nature Reserve led to a successful rescue by Wilderness Search and Rescue (WSAR) on Sunday 6 September. The pensioner was descending the West Peak trail with her family when an awkward step injured her ankle, leaving her unable to continue. She immediately called the WSAR emergency number, preventing the situation from becoming more serious. While waiting for rescuers, the woman’s family kept her warm by wrapping her in additional clothing. WSAR teams, including rangers from the reserve as well as emergency personnel from the provincial Department of Health and Wellness responded to the call. On arrival, the department’s personnel assessed and treated the hiker before rescue teams assisted her onto a stretcher and carried her from the trail to an ambulance, which took her to hospital.
The service wished the hiker a speedy recovery and extended their gratitude to the dedicated volunteers and agencies who responded to the incident. They added that the incident is a reminder that even a simple misstep can quickly bring a hike to an unexpected end. This comes in the wake of search-andrescue operations following the disappearance of Rika Norris in May and Itumeleng Mekoa in July at the nature reserve. Mekoa’s body was found six days later on Friday 10 July, while a body believed to be that of Norris was found last month. WSAR has advised that carrying a charged cellphone, hiking with others and knowing the correct emergency number can make the difference when things don’t go according to plan. The WSAR emergency number is 021 937 0300. For more information, visit www.wsar.org.za.

The 30 participants and NSRI Station 9 crew were all smiles despite the weather as they celebrated the inaugural Shoreline Dash at Strand Beach on Saturday 12 September.
Lacing up to raise funds for NSRI Barend Williams Adverse weather couldn’t dampen the spirit at National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) Station 9’s inaugural Shoreline Dash on Saturday 12 September, where crew members ran alongside Helderberg community members.

But the sea rescue crew were uncertain whether anyone would show up to the event when they woke up that morning. “When we woke up to howling wind and overcast weather, we honestly wondered if anyone was going to brave the elements and show up,” said deputy station commander Brian Gosling. But their worries were unfounded. Thirty Helderbergers arrived at Strand Beach ready to battle 29 km/h south-east winds for the community beach run rais-

ing funds for the station. What followed was unlike any typical charity run. As rescue vehicle sirens blasted, participants sprinted from the start line alongside 10 crew members running in full rescue kit, complete with wetsuits and lifejackets. Rescue vessel Rescue 9 Mobile sat at the start line while marshals with Rescue 9 Quad and Rescue 9 Bravo stood ready at turning points. SUPPORTIVE ANGLE “The highlight of the morning was watching the participants dart off from the start line to the blast of our rescue vehicle’s sirens, running right alongside our crew,” said Gosling. Participants chose between a 4 km or 2 km route. They could run or walk, making the event open to everyone. But it was the atmosphere that defined the day. Runners stayed after crossing the finish line to cheer on others. The crew walked alongside the final participants, making sure no-one was left behind. Some community members showed up purely to hand-deliver donations and chat with the crew. “The weather was wild, but the community spirit and support were even stronger,” said Gosling. Despite only 30 of the 96 registered participants making it, Gosling described the outcome as “outstanding”. The Shoreline Dash, inspired by Gosling’s annual 10 km run and organised by crew member Nienke de Wet, was designed to bridge the gap between the NSRI and the community. Checkers, San Francisco Spur, Reef and Bean Spoiled supported the event. Funds raised through the event support Station 9’s daily operations, from equipment and training supplies to resources needed during call-outs and training sessions. “Events like the Shoreline Dash bridge that gap by bringing us together on shore. It creates an intentional space for locals to chat with us, ask questions and build real trust with the team,” said Gosling. The station is planning more community events to strengthen these ties.

Coastal resorts still not fully fixed Yaseen Gaffar Devastating storms in 2022 and 2023 have left popular coastal resorts along the Kogel Bay coastline facing an estimated R25 million repair bill to restore essential water and sewage infrastructure – a full recovery that is not feasible before the upcoming summer season. However, a temporary plan to obtain mobile ablution facilities may allow recreational usage at Sparks Bay tidal pool to open for the summer holidays. Officials from the City of Cape Town’s Environmental Management Department – including nature conservation head Roy Ernstzen, regional head Lewine Walters, and biodiversity area coordinator for Steenbras Nature Reserve Elana Kellerman – recently hosted DistrictMail & Helderberg Gazette on a site visit to assess the true extent of the damage. The extreme weather destroyed water supply infrastructure servicing Kogel Bay Resort and Sparks Bay, while completely washing away the parking area and access road at Klippies Bay. Explaining the management context, officials noted that the department assumed responsibility of five coastal facilities – Kogel Bay, Macassar, Zandvlei Caravan Park, Silwerstroomstrand, and Blue Waters – from the City’s Recreation and Parks Department in July last year, at a time when Kogel Bay’s water systems were already damaged. “Two reservoirs collapsed when the storms took place and pump stations and infrastructure were damaged or washed away above Klippies Bay,” Ernstzen explained.
A secondary road between Klippies Bay and Kogel Bay sustained serious damage.

“Rocks from the mountain completely transformed the area – some infrastructure simply doesn’t exist anymore. It was a major initial incident and a second storm 18 months later exacerbated the situation.” Walters said they took over management of the coastal resorts to align it with surrounding conservation areas. “Our main priority is ensuring public health and safety,” she pointed out. “While long-term infrastructure repairs will require substantial capital, our immediate focus ahead of the summer season is finding functional ways to accommodate visitors.” Due to the loss of water and sanitation infrastructure, the City officially closed Klippies Bay, Sparks Bay and restricted access to Kogel Bay Resort to permitted
parking for surfers and fishermen only. Reinstating basic water supply and sewage systems across the affected resorts – without any major upgrades – is estimated at R25 million. “The high mountain run-off from the two storms completely transformed Klippies Bay and destroyed basic support infrastructure,” said Kellerman. “To temporarily re-open Sparks Bay, we are looking at supplying trailer ablution facilities to provide ablution service for this area.” At Sparks Bay, while braai areas and building structures sustained severe damage, the tidal pool remains open and is frequently used by visitors. Permanent infrastructure rebuilds will depend on future budget allocations extending toward 2030.

Meanwhile, overnight camping at Kogel Bay remains suspended. Officials are currently investigating future upgrades for these areas, while Kogel Bay remains open for parking for fishermen and surfers only. The Steenbras River Gorge and Crystal Pools Hiking trail maintenance is currently in progress and is scheduled to open on Sunday 1 November.

GPF vuur weer op alle silinders Barend Williams Die Strand-gemeenskapspolisiëringsforum (GPF) het verlede week lede van die uitvoerende komitee gekies om vakante poste te vul ná meer as ’n jaar sonder permanente leierskap. Lillian Albertyn, wat die afgelope jaar as waarnemende voorsitter gedien het, is verlede Dinsdag (8 September) by Rusthof Primêre Skool tydens ’n spesiale vergadering as voorsitter verkies. Vir die ander rolle is Lisa Visser as sekretaresse en Nico Beukes as projekkoördineerder gekies. Met Albertyn se verkiesing as voorsitter het haar vorige rol as ondervoorsitter vakant geword en is ps. Danny Kleinsmidt vir die rol gekies. Die verkiesing is deur 13 van die 22 geregistreerde organisasies bygewoon. Brig. Mnoneleli Magobiyane, die kommissaris van die Khayelitsha-polisiëringsubdistrik, en Marlon Solomons, die GPF-voorsitter van die subdistrik, het die verkiesingsproses waargeneem om te verseker dat dit demokraties en regverdig verloop. Patrick “Lucky” Njozelaka, subdistrikareabestuurder vir die provinsiale departement van polisietoesig en gemeenskapsveiligheid, het die verkiesing geadministreer. Die spesiale vergadering het gevolg nadat die vorige voorsitter verwyder is na aanleiding van ’n interne ondersoek deur die Stad Kaapstad se GPF-distrik.

Die poste vir sekretaris en projekkoördineerder het vakant geword nadat die vorige ampsbekleërs uitgetree het (“CPF closer to full strength”, DistriksPos & Helderberg Gazette, 19 Augustus). Tydens die vergadering het ’n voorval egter ontstaan toe ’n poging aangewend is om ’n brief van die verwyderde voorsitter aan die verkiesingswaarnemers te oorhandig, maar hulle het geweier om dit te aanvaar. Solomons het verduidelik die voormalige voorsitter het nie die sperdatum vir appèl gehaal nie en is as gevolg daarvan

nie meer die voorsitter nie, en daarom kon hulle nie die brief aanvaar nie. Hy het ook opgeklaar dat die verwydering uit die Strand-GPF niks met ’n strafsaak teen die man te doen het nie. Die nuwe lede bring verskeie ervarings na die uitvoerende komitee. Beukes, wat in Desember verlede jaar uit die polisiediens getree het, sê hy het gehoor gegee aan ’n oproep van die gemeenskap om op die GPF te dien (“Geliefde polisieman groet ná 33 jaar”, 7 Januarie). Visser het in die gekoöpteerde rol van buurtwagkoördineerder gedien.
Marlon Solomons, die Khayelitsha-subdistrik se GPF-voorsitter, verduidelik die rol van die GPF in gemeenskapsveiligheid.
Solomons, wat met die verloop van die verkiesing tevrede was, het aangekondig die subdistrik is weer byna op volle sterkte, met die Khayelitsha-polisiekantoor die enigste sonder ’n GPF-bestuur. Al vier kantore in die Helderberg het nou gevulde bestuurstrukture. Magobiyane het ook sy tevredenheid oor die demokratiese verloop van die verkiesing uitgespreek.
Strand in rou ná ‘Ma B’ se heengaan
Drug haul in Asanda Village
Die gemeenskap van Strand het een van sy eie verloor met die dood van Brenda Roos, vir talle mense bekend as Ma B. Ná haar dood is sosiale media oorstroom met boodskappe van medelye wat beskryf het hoe Roos die gemeenskap geraak het. Sy is Maandag 7 September in die ouderdom van 62 jaar in die hospitaal in die teenwoordigheid van haar man oorlede. Haar dogter Lauren Hendricks beskryf haar ma as haar beste vriendin en ’n mens met ’n hart van goud wat vir die gemeenskap omgegee het. Ma B het haar hele lewe lank in Strand gewoon en was bekend vir haar werk by Sê Jou Sê en Wings of Hope. Sy het einde Februarie siek geword, maar het volgens Hendricks ten spyte van die pyn nooit gekla nie en positief gebly tot die einde. Ma B word oorleef deur haar man, seun, twee dogters en drie kleinkinders. Haar vier susters, saam met haar bekend as die “big five”, rou ook oor haar heengaan. Sy sal Saterdag 19 September om 09:00 uit die St. John’s Anglikaanse kerk in Vyfdestraat, Rusthof, ter ruste gelê word.
A tip-off led to the arrest of a 25-year-old man in Asanda Village on Sunday 6 September. Public Order Police followed-up on information about drugs in Tyhilani Street early that morning, said provincial police spokesperson Sergeant Wesley Twigg. “A search of the premises led to the discovery of 74 Mandrax tablets, two small packets containing tik and 15 rounds of ammunition,” he added. The officers arrested the man for possession of drugs and illegal possession of ammunition. He was expected to appear in the Strand Magistrates’ Court once charged.

The kitchen sustained significant damage as the baboons were trapped inside the home for hours.

No City help for baboon invasion Yaseen Gaffar A routine Tuesday turned into a nightmare for a local homeowner after a troop of roughly 10 baboons gained access to a house on Blushing Bride Street along Mountainside in Gordon’s Bay, trapping themselves inside and causing extensive damage on the afternoon of 8 September. Property owner Ria du Toit, who was away in Tzaneen at the time, was alerted by vigilant neighbours who heard sounds of destruction coming from her double-storey home while her son was out. From hundreds of kilometres away, Du Toit spent hours frantically calling emergency numbers, including animal welfare services and the municipal baboon hotline, in a desperate bid to get help to the scene. “It was a disaster,” said Du Toit. “We called the baboon hotline, but that’s just to report – there is no action. We called animal welfare and our insurance emergency lines, but no-one could help us.” The situation was eventually resolved around 16:00 on Tuesday afternoon when her neighbour Lynn le Clercq arrived at the property to assist. After Du Toit unlocked the front door remotely, Le Clercq and officers from Gordon’s Bay Security (GBSec) confronted the aggressive primates inside. “I pushed open the door and initially saw three baboons,” Le Clercq recalled. “GBSec officers banged sticks and opened windows, and about 10 baboons ended up running out of the house.” The trapped animals left behind significant destruction throughout the residence. Televisions were smashed, cupboards, fridges and freezers were torn open and emptied, and the entire interior was soiled with urine and faeces. RELOCATION PACE CONCERNS Le Clercq warned that the local baboon population has become increasingly fearless, threatening pets and forcing residents to alter their daily lives. “The big alpha baboon was incredibly aggressive, protecting its troop. We are prisoners in our own homes – we can’t even keep our windows open. I’ve had to clear all the fruit trees in my garden,” Le Clercq said. She added that while residents give
credit to the City of Cape Town for beginning the process of removing problem animals, the pace of the intervention leaves residents vulnerable. Addressing the incident, Eddie Andrews, deputy mayor and Mayoral Committee member for Spatial Planning and Environment, confirmed that baboon sightings on Blushing Bride Street were reported via the baboon hotline on 8 September. However, Andrews clarified that the City does not have an active baboon response team in Gordon’s Bay, and reports logged via the hotline are recorded for monitoring and coordination purposes rather than field dispatch. This operational standing was previously communicated during a meeting regarding the baboons with affected residents of Ward 100 last month. (“Action plan for baboons,” DistrictMail & Helderberg Gazette, 2 September). NO HELP INSIDE HOMES When asked about emergency protocols for active home invasions, Andrews said there is no City protocol to intervene inside private residences. Clarifying the purpose of the municipal hotline, he explained that the service records incidents, identifies hotspots and trends, and informs strategic management actions such as raising awareness, waste enforcement and coordinating with relevant authorities. Regarding safety measures for residents threatened by aggressive animals, Andrews highlighted that preventative safety guidelines were distributed to Ward 100 residents. The City emphasised that prevention is key. Guidelines advise residents to not feed baboons as it is illegal, to remove food attractants, to baboon-proof bins, and to install burglar bars, among other measures. Under CapeNature regulations, it’s illegal to harm, kill, capture or move baboons without a permit. Discharging a firearm in urban areas is prohibited under police regulations and unlawful firearm use may lead to criminal prosecution under the Firearms Control Act. For interim safety, the City’s current strategy focuses on reducing attractants and managing waste, while encouraging residents to continue logging all sightings on the hotline for record-keeping.

Public art adorns our walls Three walls at municipal facilities in the Helderberg have been given a pop of colour and brightness as part of the City of Cape Town’s efforts to promote art and give emerging artists opportunities. Public artworks at Sir Lowry’s Pass Library, the Gordon’s Bay Sports Ground and the Gustrouw Sports Ground are among eight projects that the City’s Arts and Culture Development Branch has facilitated in the 2025-’26 financial year. According to the City, the branch has been driving the project for the past 10 years. “These artworks show what public art can do when artists and communities are given the opportunity to create something together,” said Francine Higham, Mayoral Committee member for Community Services and Health. “Over the past year, eight new works have brought local stories, culture and creativity into public spaces across Cape Town, while giving emerging artists an opportunity to showcase their talent. I want to thank the artists and communities who contributed their ideas and helped bring these projects to life.” The eight projects brought together eight lead artists and more than 20 emerging and assisting artists, providing paid creative opportunities while bringing communitydesigned artworks into public spaces. The artwork at Sir Lowry’s Pass Library marks a milestone for the programme as its first commissioned mosaic. Developed through a community co-design process following the City’s Cool Spaces initiative, the large-scale mosaic includes painted mural elements with the artwork transforming the library facade into a vibrant public landmark. The artists behind its creation are Kerry Atherstone (lead), Charlie Vettori and emerging artists Shannon Davids, Johen Adendorf and Iman Daniels. The artwork captures the essence of Sir Lowry’s Pass,
Yaseen Gaffar An incident of public vandalism in Gordon’s Bay has drawn sharp criticism from municipal authorities after a solid concrete street sign was dragged hundreds of metres from its position and smashed.

reflecting its landscape, its people, its natural beauty and its enduring spirit. The artwork at the Gordon’s Bay Sports Ground on the corner of Roos Street and Dennehof Road was developed through a community-led design process and realised as part of the City’s public art programme. The mural celebrates the unifying power of sport and the important role that recreational spaces play within communities. For the creation of the mural, the lead artist was assisted by emerging artists Angelo Waterloo, Marquin van Aarde and Xolisile Sitwayi. At the Gustrouw Sports Ground in Strand, the freshly installed mural celebrates youth development, sporting culture and the strength of community connections formed through shared public spaces. Here the lead artist was assisted by emerging artists Waterloo, Sydney Shem Lewis and Patricia Abrahams. Artworks have also added extra colour to Blackheath Community Hall, Virginia Park in Gardens, Bryant Street Park in Bo-Kaap, Kloof Street Park and Southfield Library.
The heavy concrete slab bearing the street name Jannie Storm Street was initially dislodged and dragged about 500 m across to the parking area near the Gordon’s Bay helipad on Beach Road roughly two weeks ago. The destruction escalated over the past weekend when unknown perpetrators further vandalised and smashed the slab into pieces. When asked about the incident, the City of Cape Town confirmed that local road depots had not been formally alerted when the slab was initially moved. “No, the Roads Infrastructure Management (RIM) depot was not aware [of the incident],” said Rob Quintas, the Mayoral Committee member for Urban Mobility. Quintas said municipal crews will restore infrastructure to the area. “The City’s RIM department will install a new street name kerb.” Municipal authorities have reiterated that damaging public assets is not treated as a minor offence, but as a serious crime that impacts ratepayer-funded community infrastructure. Wayne Dyason, spokesperson for Law Enforcement, emphasised that such acts carry direct criminal consequences. “Malicious damage to City property constitutes a criminal offence. Law Enforcement can act if they receive verifiable information and evidence to arrest the suspect and open charges with the police,” he explained. Regarding surveillance around the
This concrete slab dragged 500 m from its original position and smashed to pieces.
helipad parking area and tracking those responsible, Dyason noted that officers rely on available evidence and verifiable public reports to follow up on leads and bring charges through the police. With municipal infrastructure frequently targeted by vandals, authorities are appealing directly to the Gordon’s Bay community for vigilance and cooperation. Dyason urged residents who may witness illegal acts or have information regarding this incident to report it immediately. “If members of the public see or know of anyone who is deliberately damaging City-owned property and infrastructure, they should report it to the City’s Public Emergency Communication Centre on 021 480 7700.” To encourage community assistance, the City reminds residents of its active informant reward policy. The City could pay up to R5 000 to anyone who provides information that directly results in a successful arrest and prosecution of perpetrators damaging municipal property.

No cash for us, please The Driving Licence Testing Centre (DLTC) in Strand is one of three municipal facilities that will operate on a cashless system come Thursday 1 October. The City of Cape Town has announced the DLTCs in Strand, Brackenfell and Fish Hoek will be part of a pilot project to improve customer experience and service delivery. The other 15 DLTCs across the metro will still allow for both cash and card transactions. Said JP Smith, Mayoral Committee member for Safety and Security: “The City is moving towards more digital resources to try and improve our customer experience and service delivery in general. Cashless transactions are one such development. This pilot will determine the feasibility of such a system at all of our DLTCs. We also look forward to other possible improvements in the future to help streamline operations at our DLTCs.” All 18 centres process thousands of transactions monthly, including traffic fine payments and payments associated with learner’s and driving licence applications, driving licence card renewals or replacements, and applications for public driving permits. Among the benefits of cashless transactions are a reduction in the risk associated with handling cash, reconciliation workload and risk of revenue theft or cash collection fees, while it also supports digital transformation and improved service delivery “The Road Traffic Management Corporation has already piloted an online appointment system in Gauteng and the Eastern Cape. Such a system would be a game changer here in Cape Town,” Smith added. “The recent announcement that driving licence cards will be valid for 10 years instead of five, will also go a long way in reducing the pressure on our centres, once implemented.”
End of road for auctioneer Yaseen Gaffar Alf Duncan, founder of Alf Duncan Auctioneers in Strand, has broken his silence following the firm’s voluntary liquidation, revealing he had stepped back from daily management years ago and is now launching an investigation into the company’s financial collapse. Expressing heartbreak over the demise of the business he built over 40 years, Duncan confirmed he used personal funds to pay his staff their final salaries and settle claims with some affected clients. Duncan explained that his direct involvement in the business diminished significantly following the death of his wife in September 2016. While he would occasionally visit the business, he assumed the company remained on solid financial ground, particularly after relocating to its premises in Mynhardt Street, Gants Centre, six years ago, which reduced rental costs by R80 000 per month. “I’d pop in now and then and all seemed fine,” Duncan said. “When we moved into the premises six years ago, the saving on rent was R80 000 per month, so the business was in good financial standing. I don’t understand how the business went down such a hole.” Duncan claimed he became aware of serious underlying financial trouble recently, when his own salary cheques were delayed or short-paid, prompting him to look into the company’s accounts. Describing the loss of his long-standing professional reputation, Duncan said he is conducting an internal investigation to establish who is responsible for the financial downfall. “I put my heart into this business and

built it for 40 years. I built my name and reputation, but now it’s all gone,” Duncan said. He emphasised his intention to pursue formal legal action once all the facts are established. ASSETS SOLD OFF Addressing the ongoing liquidation process, Duncan confirmed he has already met with joint provisional liquidator Christiaan Bester, with further meetings scheduled over the next two weeks. He expressed confidence that substantial company assets, including commercial vehicles and trucks, will be sold during the liquidation process to recoup funds and pay off as much outstanding debt as possible to creditors and consignors. Duncan’s response follows last week’s disclosure that the company was officially placed into voluntary liquidation by special
resolution on 5 August, leaving numerous local consignors and creditors in financial limbo. (“‘Pass’ for Alf Duncan auctions,” DistrictMail & Helderberg Gazette, 9 September). Among those affected is local consignment partner Managed Moves SA, which reported being owed nearly R200 000 for auctioned goods dating back to last December and January. Additionally, the landlord of the Mynhardt Street property reported contractual breaches, unpaid lease obligations and extensive cleaning costs following the sudden vacation of the building. While joint provisional liquidators continue assessing the insolvent estate to establish total claims and potential payout ratios, Duncan reiterated his commitment to doing everything possible to settle what is owed through the asset liquidation process.

Climate-change awareness honoured Sir Lowry’s Pass Library was among the winners at the Western Cape Cultural Affairs Awards at the Artscape Theatre on Wednesday 9 September, which presented the opportunity to showcase the diversity of the province’s cultural landscape, particularly in respect of cultural and linguistic heritage.

Quiet transformation of dogs’ lives side, live as part of the family and have carried him through difficult moments. “If my dogs could remember me for one thing it would be that I am their friend,” he said. His biggest ongoing challenge is food and shelter, and Montego’s support has helped him feed his own animals and also the neighbourhood dogs who know his home as a place of safety.
A bowl of food can mean far more than a meal. It can be the start of trust, the relief of knowing a beloved dog will not go hungry and a quiet reminder that someone cares. That spirit came to life when Montego Pet Nutrition shared nearly 300 kg of pet food and treats with Sweet Paws Rescue and Care and three deserving Helderberg community members as part of its Bursting with Character campaign. The handover also included Bags o’Wags, Montego’s range of dog treats, adding an extra moment of joy for dogs and the people who care for them. For 26 years Montego has been guided by the belief that animal welfare and community welfare go hand in hand. Sweet Paws ensures that support reaches the animals and families who need it most, working closely with township communities where dogs are often found on chains, sleeping on bare ground or suffering from untreated wounds and preventable disease, alongside families who love their animals but need guidance and practical help. “We don’t drive in, hand out food and leave,” said Anita Labuschagne, founder of Sweet Paws. “We build relationships, earn trust and keep going back.” For Sweet Paws food is more than a donation. It opens conversations about sterilisation, vaccinations, shelter and lifelong care. A bag of food becomes a bridge to trust, and trust becomes the beginning of change. That spirit comes through in three community members the partnership supports. YOUNG BOY, BIG HEART At 13 Colby Yenoumba has become a

caretaker to dogs he rescued from the street or removed from neglectful situations. “My dogs are everything to me. They protect me, rely on me to look after them and are my best friends, no matter how bad our situation may be.” For Colby, Montego’s support means reassurance: his dogs can eat, stay healthy and keep being the companions that make him smile each morning. “This delivery is very special,” he said. “Thank you for this, Montego.” LOVE THAT KEEPS A STREET TOGETHER In Broadlands recently widowed Muriel November has become a quiet source of care, looking after seven dogs who come to her home for food, treats and
affection. To her they are company, comfort and protection. “The dogs give me a reason to want to live longer,” she said. “They like me and appreciate me.” She feeds them morning and evening, speaks up for them when others complain and teaches children how to care for animals. COMMUNITY DOG GENTLEMAN Caliban Botha is known as a respected man and devoted dog lover. With 12 sterilised dogs of his own, he feeds between 21 and 25 dogs each week, stepping in for neighbours who cannot care for their animals properly. He describes the joy of walking out with food and hearing the dogs greet him. His own dogs sleep in-
GIVING BACK, ONE BOWL AT A TIME Every dog has a story, every community has people who care and every act of kindness can help create lasting change. Some days bring heartbreak, but others bring hope: a child proudly caring for his pets, a widow finding comfort in the animals around her, a community member becoming a trusted voice for better pet care. Members of the public who would like to help can purchase food for Sweet Paws at a discounted rate through the Montego website. Each contribution helps ensure more animals receive the nourishment they need, while supporting the dedicated community members who show up for them every day. Golfers are also invited to tee-off for a furry cause at Strand Golf Club next month (October), with every swing helping to give animals a healthier, litter-free life. Sweet Paws will hold its second annual fundraising golf day at Strand Golf Club on Friday 2 October. The organisation is calling on keen golfers to participate and help raise funds to sterilise more than 250 animals, preventing unwanted litters and giving pets the chance at a healthier life. Interested individuals can book a four-ball, sponsor a hole or simply show their support on the day.

DAGBOEK DIARY
Khoi hut at expo The Coachman’s Cottage Museum, on the corner of Andries Pretorius and Victoria streets in Somerset West, marks its 19th exhibition on Heritage Day (Thursday 24 September), shining a light on the history of the Helderberg basin. A special feature this year is the history of the Khoi tribes who inhabited Somerset West and the Lourens River Valley long before the Dutch occupation in 1652. The museum will display photographs, texts and artefacts from the Khoi and San era as it shaped the basin. The Khoi were migrant herders of
cattle and sheep, and the exhibition will explore their way of life. A real Khoi hut will be constructed outside the museum as one of the display’s standout features. The event runs from 10:00 to 15:00 on Heritage Day. Refreshments will be served free of charge and the public is invited to attend – including people from churches, schools and community organisations across the Helderberg, from Somerset West and Strand to Gordon's Bay, Sir Lowry’s Pass, Raithby, Firgrove and adjacent communities. This will be the first exhibition of Khoi heritage in the area and promises to be a fascinating experience.

Gholfdag-sukses Sterk wind, sterker Arendgees! Die Hoërskool Strand se jaarlikse gholfdag op Vrydag 4 September by die Strand-gholfklub was weer eens ’n hoogtepunt op die kalender en een van die skool se grootste geldinsamelingsprojekte van die jaar. Die suidooster het die spelers behoorlik op die proef gestel, maar niks kon die gees op die baan demp nie. Die spelers het die dag met groot entoesiasme aangepak, terwyl die putjie-borge hope energie en wonderlike gasvryheid opgedis het. Die heerlike atmosfeer en goeie luim ten spyte van die wind spreek boekdele
oor die ongelooflike geesdrif en lojaliteit van die skoolgemeenskap. ’n Dag van hierdie formaat is slegs moontlik danksy die onvoorwaardelike ondersteuning van die borge, individue en plaaslike maatskappye. “Baie dankie aan elke speler wat ten spyte van die wind deelgeneem het, asook aan al die borge van die bowwe vir die fantastiese pryse en skenkings,” het die skool gesê. “ ’n Baie spesiale woord van dank aan die hoofborg, De Jagers Somerset-Wes, vir hul onskatbare bydrae en vennootskap. Ons moedig die Arend-familie aan om hierdie ondernemings te ondersteun en so saam dankie te sê.”

Season finals coming up
The home side endured a stern opening test as Bellville launched relentless early attacks. Despite long periods of defending, the Olla Boys’ disciplined defensive structure prevented the visitors from crossing the try line. Bellville eventually built a 0-6 lead through two successful penalties. Refusing to let the early deficit derail their campaign, All Saints fought back before the break when Robin Pietersen finished off a well-worked attacking movement to score a vital try, cutting the deficit to 5-6 at the interval. All Saints took complete control after the break. Dylan Scholtz slotted an early penalty to give the hosts their first lead at 8-6, before Eagan Christians crossed the
whitewash to extend the advantage to 13-6. Scholtz then added two late penalties to seal a convincing 19-6 victory. The Olla Boys will now face Vineyards RFC in the Bottom 8 final at City Park in Athlone this weekend. Vineyards edged All Saints earlier in the season, setting the stage for a dramatic rematch with silverware on the line. In Super League A action, Helderberg RFC’s President’s Cup run came to an end at City Park after a 21-15 loss to Villager in their Top 8 semi-final. Villager struck early, opening a 14-0 lead inside 10 minutes following converted tries by Thoubaan Gabriels and MC de Jongh. Berge responded swiftly with back-to-back tries by Ethan Swartland and Moaqeem Jephtha, one of which was converted, to bring the local team within two points at 14-12. However, a converted try by Reimerd Spreeth restored a 21-12 halftime lead for Villager. Berge mounted a resolute second-half effort, with Roscoe Julius kicking a penalty
All Saints player Maurice Pietersen off-loads while under pressure.
Olla Boys, RU march on to last dance to trim the gap to 21-15. Although Berge held Villager scoreless the remainder of the match, they were unable to breach the defence to claim victory. Having finished fourth on the Super League A log, Helderberg now turn their attention to the WPRFU Club 7s Tournament, starting on Saturday 24 October. In Super League C, Raithby Universals ground out a dramatic 6-5 victory over Sir Lowrians RFC in Sir Lowry’s Pass to advance to the Bottom 8 final. RU took a 6-0 lead into half-time courtesy of two well-struck penalties by Jacques Steyn. Playing into a strong wind during the second half, RU maintained tight discipline under pressure, holding on for the win despite a late try by Sir Low. RU will take on Langa in the Super League C Bottom 8 final at City Park this weekend.
