METRO POLICE CHIEF HONOURED FOR 44 YEARS’ UNBLEMISHED SERVICE

Serving with integrity KAYLYNNE BANTOM KAYLYNNE.BANTOM@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

or over four decades Metro Police Chief Wayne le Roux has worn the badge with one guiding principle: to serve people with integrity.

From directing traffic as a young officer to becoming South Africa’s longest-serving metro police chief, his career has been defined by a commitment to community policing, mentoring the next generation of officers and

Le Roux believes officers must become a familiar face in the communities they serve. leaving a legacy in Cape Town. On Tuesday, 4 August, that legacy was recognised when Le Roux was honoured at the City’s inaugural long-service awards ceremony, where he received a medal in recognition of 44 years of service alongside several law-enforcement personnel who were similarly honoured. The ceremony celebrated 112 law-enforcement officers who completed 30 years or more of service,

with Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis praising their dedication to protecting Cape Town’s residents. Speaking at the ceremony, JP Smith, Mayco member for safety and security, said: “Pausing in recognition and remembrance is the least we can do for the thousands of staff who put their lives on the line in service of Cape Town.” The journey of Le Roux, a Heathfield resident, began in 1982 when he

joined the City’s Traffic Service. Determined to grow within the organisation, he continued his studies while working and, at just 23 years old, became one of the youngest sergeant supervisors in the department. His career took another significant step in 2001, when the City Police was established, later becoming the Metro Police. Le Roux was among a select group appointed as divisional commanders. “My first area I started was in Bonteheuwel. I was responsible for overseeing the precinct. It was a learning experience. “I knew that we are a new police force and people are going to

compare us to members of the South African Police Service. That’s when I started the community policing concept to ensure we build trust with the community.” Rather than relying solely on vehicle patrols, Le Roux believes officers needed to become familiar faces in the communities they serve. “We did foot patrols, interacting with the community and showing them that we can make a difference and be a force multiplier to the police. Eventually, we started getting information from the community about irregular things that they saw or knew about.”

registered participants can still collect their race numbers from selected Sportsman’s Warehouse stores across Cape Town ahead of the event. As part of the build-up to the walk, Spurwing Primary School and Forest Heights Primary School, both long-standing PSFA beneficiary schools, each received a R1 000 Sportsman’s Warehouse gift voucher on Tuesday 28 July in recognition of their partnership with the organisation.

Learners’ transfer window closes next week Parents who intend to move or transfer their children from their current schools have until Monday next week, 17 August, to apply. Last week, the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) urged parents to act swiftly to avoid disappointment. The transfer window, which opened on Monday 3 August, is for Grades 2 to 7 and Grades 9 to 12 learners. According to the department, the process has changed slightly this year, so parents need to check whether to apply online or directly at the school or district. Online applications are only for learners who meet specific transfer criteria. Parents whose circumstances do not fall within these criteria must apply directly to the school they want their child to attend. Parents can submit an online transfer application only if one of the following applies: The learner has reached the highest grade offered by their current school, for example a school that only goes up to Grade 3 or Grade 9.

Parents who have not used the system before will need to create an account first. Parents who want to transfer their child simply because they prefer another school, and whose circumstances do not fall under the online criteria, must apply directly to the school of their choice by submitting a hard-copy Transfer Request Form. Some applications must also be submitted as hard copies directly to the school because of their sensitive nature. These include: Where there is a documented concern about the learner’s safety, well-being or protection. Where the learner needs access to specific medical or psychological treatment that is not reasonably available from their current school. Supporting documents must be provided.

A JOURNO’S VOICE The word isolation comes from the Latin word insula, meaning “island”. Over time, the word evolved through Italian (isolato) and French (isolé), meaning “made into an island”.

The feeling and connotations of isolation however has also morphed as we headed deeper into the 21st century. Now the thought of closing our doors and wearing our headphones is seen as a comfort or a necessity where we can destress and fulfil our own personal needs after enduring a demanding working day. Since the quick but subtle decline of televisions and broadcasting, our cellphones have become our main source of information and entertainment.

Gone are the days when the family would huddle at six to watch the latest episode of 7de Laan. Now everyone can enjoy their own distractions and retreat to the peaceful quiet of their bedrooms. I think the Covid-19 pandemic marked the crucial breaking point and awakening for a new meaning for this word to be birthed. Stranded and locked away in our houses during the height of Covid-19, intensified our need and time we spent on our cellphones. Whether this was video calls and texts with loved ones, sending emails and attending Teams meetings or doom-scrolling on social media whilst being flooded with the latest news and death stats, we adapted to being “happily marooned on our own social islands”. Families started interacting less, while the children became more immersed into their tablets and YouTube channels and angsty teenagers having to understand and sometimes compare their lives to the glamorous aesthetics and filters they see when watching the Instagram stories of their friends or celebrities they admire. Now we watch, comment and “like” friends and family from afar on social media when they have weddings, celebrate births, or grieve a loved one like voyeurs it seems . All the while, the algorithms have been tracking, studying and curating a feed dedicated to our tastes, interests, likes and dislikes and yet most people aren’t seeing that these tech wizards have woven a cocoon around the users and their cellphones. With the popularity and convenience of artificial intelligence it’s also impacted the way we view images, listen to music or watch videos. It’s a strange and interesting time to be alive in 2026, but now more than ever we need to enrich the way we communicate instead of resorting to numbing ourselves to death on our own devices.

he Bergvliet Lions Club installed Angela Niehaus as president on Wednesday 29 July. The event took place at the service organisation’s ﬁrst meeting of the new ﬁscal year, held at Sunny Skies Creche in Meadowridge.

Several officers from Lions District 410W attended. Zone chair Ian Grove, Global Extension Team Leader Heather Lee, District chair for Marketing Elisa Metz and District chair for Environment Rory Stier were present. Stier also serves as the Guiding Lion for the club. Lions Clubs International, founded in 1917, is the world’s largest service club organisation, with 1,4 million members in over 200 countries. Its motto is “We Serve”. The first Lions club in South Africa was chartered in 1957. The Bergvliet club was founded a year later. For nearly seven decades it has served through a range of outreach initiatives. A LEADER WITH DEEP ROOTS

The success of the approach saw him transferred to Mitchells Plain two years later and then to several areas across Cape Town to implement the same policing model there. Throughout his career Le Roux continued to further his education, a commitment that paved the way for his appointment as Deputy Chief of Metro Police in 2009. On 1 October 2011, he was appointed Metro Police Chief, a position he has now held for nearly 15 years. “I always tell staff not to compromise their integrity. When you wear your uniform it’s a calling to make a difference in the community. Treat people with dignity and respect no matter where they live.” For Le Roux leadership is about remembering where you started. “You have to support and work with your team. Never forget you were also learning and were also a constable at one stage.” His career has also taken him beyond South Africa’s borders, with the City providing opportunities to attend international policing programmes and engage with police leaders around the world. “I must thank the City for giving me the opportunity. I have been overseas many times to gain police training. I have been a member of the international police chiefs around the world.” Among the countless incidents he has attended, one remains his proudest memory. “I helped deliver a baby on the Grand Parade. It was the biggest joy in my life to see a child being born in those circumstances.” Yet policing has also brought moments of sadness. “Having to share with families the news when officers died in the line of duty” remains one of the hardest parts of his career, he said. Le Roux is already looking beyond his planned retirement next year, when he hopes to conclude 45 years of service. But even after retirement he hopes to continue shaping the future of policing by returning to the Metro Police training college. “If my health is there and God gives me the strength, I want to go back to the training college and share my experience with the young people and new recruits. That is what I would like to do.” His advice to officers has remained unchanged throughout his career. “I always tell staff, no matter the circumstances, they must make sure that when they wear

mall. “I wanted to be part of the community, and it was a great way to meet people.” Having served as club president four times, secretary for many years and District chair for the Environment for three, she brings hands-on community experience to her new role.

The club, currently of four, Niehaus hopes to grow to at least 10 members. She wants the club to serve across all eight pillars of lionism: childhood cancer, diabetes, disaster relief, environment, humanitarian, hunger, vision and youth. Planned projects include food collections, soup kitchens, establishing food gardens at local schools and selling bee houses to support crop pollination. The club also runs bingo sessions at old-age homes and supports organisations. The club meets on the third Wednesday of every month at 19:00 at Sunny Skies Creche. Anyone wishing to join can contact the club at bergvlietlionclub@gmail.com or on 072 741 7150 for more details.

that uniform their boots and uniform are clean and they interact with people. It gives a good impression of who we are and what we want to achieve.” Le Roux believes policing is ultimately about building relationships, not rank. “We must interact with people. We shouldn’t just be driving around and expect people to see us; we must make a difference. I also tell young people they don’t have to turn to drugs. Role models are not people in high positions; they are your mother, father, grandmother or people who have made a difference in your life.”

Reflecting on more than four decades in uniform, Le Roux said he remained grateful for the opportunities he received and the people who stood behind him. “I am thankful to God for the mercies He has given me. I am also grateful for my wife and two kids for their support. It has given me encouragement over the years.” For Le Roux the stars on his shoulders have never been the measure of success. “Bars and stars on your shoulders don’t make a person. It’s how you interact, make a difference and pass on the legacy.”

TMACC opens after maintenance KAYLYNNE BANTOM he Table Mountain Aerial Cableway (TMACC) oﬃcially reopened yesterday (10 August) after successfully completing its annual maintenance programme, following weeks of extensive inspections, servicing and safety testing.

The cableway closed on Monday 27 July to allow technical and operational teams access to complete critical maintenance work. TMACC Technical Executive Manager Andries de Vries said one of the

The steel wire ropes, measuring 1,2 km in length, run from the lower station to the top station. De Vries said the specialised work is carried out by engineers from Swiss manufacturer Garaventa, the original equipment manufacturer of the current rotating cable cars introduced

in 1997. “We fly down engineers from Switzerland for this job. They bring their equipment and our team help where needed. We have been making use of their services since the rebuild of the current rotating cabins in 1997,” he elaborated. Despite facing several setbacks during the maintenance period De Vries said the project remained on schedule. “We had personnel loss due to illness, delays in tool and equipment deliveries during the first three days of the shutdown, as well as the fire on Sunday 2 August, which resulted in

us losing another half a day.” TMACC Managing Director Wahida Parker said: “We have been going according to schedule despite the fact that we’ve had some hiccups. “The biggest impact has been the fire which broke out on Sunday.” Parker said the wildfire forced maintenance work to stop temporarily and created a tense situation for staff working on the mountain. “The fire resulted in work having to stop. It was very scary for our staff who were on site. We are grateful to the fire services, the City of Cape Town, SANParks and all the volunteers who came out to assist us on the day.” She also thanked TMACC staff who helped protect the cableway’s facilities during the incident. “We are also grateful to our staff

who stepped in to assist in ensuring our premises remain safe.” Parker said, in addition to the mechanical maintenance, refurbishment work was also carried out at the lower station deck building. “We also do a bit of refurbishment and freshening up areas, painting and just giving it a fresh new look. These improvements are all designed to enhance the visitor experience.” While Parker could not provide an exact cost of the maintenance programme she indicated it amounts to millions of rand each year. “It is an expensive but necessary exercise. At the cableway we believe in safety first. For that reason we are always alert to the fact that to keep this operation at a world-class standard we will have to spend money, and we do,” she concluded.

Women speak out about rights

nnually, South Africa celebrates National Women’s Month in August to honour the courage and resilience of the over 20 000 women who marched to the Union Buildings on 9 August 1956 in protest against the pass laws.

People’s Post asked women in the community what Women’s Month means to them, and what changes they would still like to see for women in South Africa. Ashleigh Petersen-Cloete said: “While Women’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate women and their achievements, it is also a sobering reminder of the realities many women continue to face. Every day in South Africa, women experience violence, abuse, rape, and even murder. This raises an uncomfortable question: how can we celebrate women for one day, only to return the next to the reality of being a woman in South Africa? My hope is for a South Africa where more women hold leadership positions, where every woman has access to affordable, quality education, and where gender-based injustices become increasingly rare.” Chris von Ulmenstein said: “Women’s Day should be celebrated every day and not only once a year, although I understand the history behind its date. I love that women are becoming so strong, and can cope so well on their own, raising children on their own, and travel the world on their own. My wish is for more women to navigate their lives solo.” Nicole Rhode said: “As a woman, I believe our greatest power lies not

IF EVERY WOMAN FEELS SAFE, EMPOWERED only in what we achieve but in how we uplift those around us. As a teacher, I want my learners, especially the girls to grow up believing they can become anything they aspire to be. My hope is for a future where every woman feels safe, empowered, and supported to live boldly, dream fearlessly, and reach their full potential.” Shamiega Meyer said: “One of the biggest changes I would like to see in South Africa is a justice system that responds more quickly. Women deserve to feel protected, supported, and heard when they come forward. No woman should have to live in fear. Sadly, many women are afraid to report crime due to fear, stigma, or a lack of confidence in the legal process. Women should be treated with the same urgency, dignity, and protection that would be given to the most important leaders in our country when they are wronged.” Moira Manuel said: “Women’s Day means that women are finally being recognised and heard—their points of view genuinely matter. Women are increasingly finding the courage to speak out about childhood trauma and abuse, standing up, using their voices, and claiming the space to heal. I want to see robust, easily accessible support systems and safe community spaces established for survivors of abuse. Beyond just being heard, women and young girls need guaranteed protection, swift justice, and comprehensive legal and mental health resources to help them rebuild their lives free from fear.”

Olivia Murphy said: “Women’s Day reminds me that women are strong, resilient and often carry far more than people realise. Yet so many women are still overlooked, undervalued, unappreciated, abused and taken for granted. I’d like to see our government and society do more to protect, support and uplift women. We deserve to be valued and appreciated for our strength, our resilience, and for paving the way for the generations of women who come after us. “ Cecile Olive Antonie said: “Women’s Day is a time to celebrate the strength and achievements of women, but it is also a reminder that South Africa continues to have one of the highest rates of gender based violence and femicide in the world. That is shameful. Violence against women does not always begin with physical abuse. It begins when men believe they have a free licence to disrespect women, and when society tolerates the way in which women are spoken about and treated. I believe real change will only happen when we focus on changing the attitudes and behaviour of men and boys.” Mischka Zelane Glad said: “The one change I’d still like to see for women in South Africa is an end to gender-based violence. Every woman should be able to live, work, and walk freely without fear.” Meé-Chey Tiﬃny Jacobs said: “Women’s Day, to me, is a celebration of the courage, resilience, and determination of every woman who has dared to dream beyond the limits

placed before her. As a female chess instructor, coach, and educator, I have witnessed how chess transforms lives. My hope is to see more women leading the game of chess—not only as players, but as coaches, arbiters,

organisers, and decision-makers. Young girls deserve to see women they can look up to, women who prove that they belong at the chessboard and around every leadership table.”

Strong ombud performance reﬂects Miway’s ongoing commitment to fairness 11 August 2026: The newly released National Financial Ombud Scheme South Africa (NFO) 2025 Annual Report reveals Miway has recorded a 5% resolved (overturn) ratio the lowest thus far, improving from 6% in 2024 and cementing its position among the country’s leading short-term insurers. Miway welcomes these results as an encouraging reflection of the collective effort across the business to deliver fair and considered outcomes for customers. The organisation remains committed to learning from every interaction, drawing on both customer feedback and internal expertise to continuously strengthen its approach. The Ombudsman data provides an independent and objective view of insurer performance. The overturn ratio measures how often insurer’s decisions are overturned in favour of the customer. A lower figure therefore indicates that fewer outcomes are found to be incorrect, offering a clear benchmark of fairness and quality decision. “A low resolved ratio isn’t about avoiding complaints; it’s about

getting decisions right the first time,” says Burton Naicker, CEO of Miway. “It shows that when our claims and complaints are reviewed independently, they stand up to scrutiny. It’s not about competing with the other insurers, it’s about putting the customer at the center. That consistency is only possible through strong governance and a genuine commitment to treating customers fairly.” The NFO operates independently to insurers, applying principles of fairness, transparency, and balance when adjudicating disputes. Its mandate is not to favour either party, but to assess whether outcomes are reasonable based on the facts, law, and policy terms. According to Naicker, Miway’s consistent low overturn ratio reflects a deliberate and robust decision-

making process. Each decision goes through multiple layers of review to ensure a fair outcome. An important part of the customer experience is the role of third-party service providers. Repair timelines, workmanship and communication can all impact how customers perceive their insurer. Miway does not distance itself from these challenges, instead it prioritises a high-quality service provider network. “Our customers don’t see a service provider, they see Miway. That’s why we take full accountability for the end-to-end experience. We actively monitor performance, gather customer feedback and intervene when standards are not met.” adds Naicker. While public perceptions can be

influenced by individual experiences, the NFO data provides a clear indication of a business that is applying consistent, well-governed processes and making decisions that are both technically sound and fair. Miway also acknowledges the role of its employees in delivering these outcomes, as well as the candid feedback from customers that helps drive ongoing improvement. Together, these inputs enable the business to refine its processes and ensure decisions remain transparent and consistent. “As an insurer, complaints are always a learning ground, what matters is how you handle them. For us, it comes down to making decisions we can stand behind, and the only way to do this is by being accountable throughout the process.” Naicker concludes.

CELEBRATE WOMEN, FITNESS AND COMMUNITY

Victory for Kenya’s Jerono K

enya’s Daisilah Jerono celebrated her South African racing debut in style, claiming gold at the Totalsports Women’s Race Cape Town in 31:29, as she joined thousands of women in celebrating National Women’s Day on Sunday, 9 August.

Currently ranked No 7 in the world for the half marathon in 2026, following her impressive 1:05:21 performance in Berlin, Jerono is also the second-fastest Kenyan over the distance this year. With the goal of bettering her personal best, Jerono achieved just that while claiming the top spot on the podium. “The race was tough. It was windy, with a few ups and downs, but I

am happy to have run today,” says Jerono. “This is my first time in South Africa. I didn’t come with the idea of winning; I came to see where I am in my training. The runners were so cheerful, and I really liked how they cheered for us. I am so happy to win today. I was not expecting it; it’s by God’s grace. God willing, maybe I’ll come back next year.” Fellow campatriot Faith Cherono came in second, while Neheng Khatala of Lesotho finished third. The 2026 Totalsports Women’s Race Cape Town attracted 10 000 entrants, bringing women of all ages and abilities together to celebrate women, fitness and community while supporting PinkDrive. Reflecting on a memorable day of racing, Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports, praised

both the elite performances and the incredible spirit shown by thousands of participants. “Congratulations to Daisilah Jerono on a truly outstanding performance. The standard of elite racing at this year’s Totalsports Women’s Race Cape Town was exceptional, with an exciting display of talent and determination from start to finish,” says Meyer. “It was equally inspiring to see thousands of women take to the streets to celebrate Women’s Month, support PinkDrive and embrace the spirit of this iconic event. We look forward to taking the celebration to Joburg on 16 August, where we’ll bring another chapter to what has already been an incredible Women’s Month, following two fantastic events in Durban and Cape Town.”

“I really liked how they cheered for us” Daisilah Jerono
