City partially closes vlei KEANAN HARMSE

KEANAN.HARMSE@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

s a precaution, certain sections of the Zandvlei waterbody remains partially closed after the City of Cape Town’s water quality test results displayed E coli levels below the threshold after a sewage spill aﬀected the vlei on Thursday 30 July. Concerned locals and some members of the Zandvlei Trust (ZVT) are raising concerns following reports of a sewage spill into the vlei and nearby stormwater canals last month. According to reports, the Zandvlei encountered a sewage spill over the weekend of Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 July after the sewer main collapse

For three days raw sewage spewed into the surrounding area was identified, raising the ire of ZVT, a community-led public benefit organisation dedicated to protecting the natural resources of Zandvlei and its immediate surrounds. ZVT also advocates for better management of the vlei and its surrounding environment. Zandvlei is a 300ha protected estuary, wetland, and river system located near Muizenberg. It is the only functioning estuary on the False Bay coast, serving as a vital fish nursery, a bird sanctuary, and a popular public recreation area for sailing and windsurfing. Recently, the City has received two sets of water quality results since Friday 31 July, according to the City’s deputy mayor and Mayco member for

spatial planning and environment, Eddie Andrews. “Samples collected on Friday 31 July showed elevated E coli levels at ﬁve of the 13 monitoring sites. These results have been attributed to a sewage spill that occurred on Thursday 30 July, which was unrelated to the Prince George Drive sewer main collapse,” said Andrews. E COLI LEVELS SAFE

However, a second round of sampling conducted on Monday 3 August showed a signiﬁcant improvement, with all 13 sampling sites recording E coli levels below the threshold for safe intermediate contact recreation, he added.

“In accordance with the City’s water quality monitoring protocols, two consecutive sets of results must either exceed or fall below the applicable threshold before a waterbody can be closed or reopened. As only one consecutive compliant set of results has been received to date, the partial closure implemented in terms of the Public Access Notice issued on Thursday 30 July remains in eﬀect,” Andrews said. Previously, People’s Post reported on a new study led by researchers at the University of Cape Town (UCT) that reportedly found traces of pharmaceuticals, pesticides and metals in False Bay’s waters (“False Bay ‘not so pristine’”, People’s Post, 23 June).

COMMUNITY UPSET

He said the community is upset about the slow response and the lasting impact on recreational water quality. Bristow said a major concrete sewage main broke at the corner of the M5 and Prince George Drive, and for three days raw sewage spewed into the surrounding area, which is heavily used by pedestrians, cyclists, and TO PAGE 3 motor traﬃc.

Organised by the Peninsula School Feeding Association (PSFA) in association with Lucky Star, the event raises vital funds to help the organisation continue providing nutritious meals to thousands of vulnerable children across the Western Cape. Organisers also praised the Capetonians after reaching this year’s target of walkers. Petrina Pakoe, the director of the PSFA, expressed her gratitude to the overwhelming number of supporters who helped the organisation reach its 10 000-entry capacity ahead of the event. “We are grateful to everyone who entered, we managed to reach our 10 000 entries target and we were able to close our entries earlier than anticipated. So, we are looking forward to a great event.” With thousands of participants expected, Pakoe encouraged walkers to arrive early and adhere to event instructions to help the day run smoothly. “We encourage people to arrive so that they can ﬁnd suﬃcient parking. We urge them to follow the guidelines and instructions as per the signage. We just want people to have fun and to remember that this is a walk and not a run.” Pakoe thanked everyone who entered the charity walk, saying their support will help the organisation continue providing nutritious

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.

. .

A parent or caregiver has moved employment to another area The learner’s family has moved Online applications can be submitted at the WCED Admissions website. 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.

Where the learner is under the care and protection of the State through an appointed guardian or statutory authority. Transfer Request Forms are available under the Resources section on the WCED Admissions website, at schools, and at district offices. Parents and caregivers will need to provide: The learner’s latest school report, an ID, birth certificate, passport, study permit, proof of application or police affidavit Proof of residential address or a police affidavit Grade R, Grade 1 and Grade 8 applications Schools are currently finalising admission lists and confirming placements for Grade R, Grade 1 and Grade 8 learners for next year. Parents who have not yet applied for Grade R, Grade 1 or Grade 8 should contact their district office. The online admissions platform for these grades is currently closed. More information is available on the WCED website or by calling 0861 819 919 and pressing 1 for Admissions.

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. This trap however disguises itself

as an “escape” from reality and a means to stay informed and entertained has tricked users to become addicted to seeing their desires or hobbies packaged directly to them in microsized clips. So many are also quick to defend their ideologies or mock those they disagree with online in such creative fashion with GIFs and images and yet lack the courage to spew these thoughts in real life. With the popularity and convenience of artiﬁcial intelligence it’s also impacted the way we view images, listen to music or watch videos. Now we second guess and doubt what we see and hear more than ever. 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.

History needs telling KEANAN HARMSE

ore than 60 years after a small group of residents ﬁrst gathered to preserve Simon’s Town’s heritage, the Simon’s Town Historical Society (STHS) is issuing an urgent call for volunteers to ensure that work continues.

The society was founded on 22 February 1960 by ordinary people who gave up their Saturday mornings to search archives, record memories, catalogue collections and preserve the history of a town they loved, according to STHS volunteer, Esther le Roux. Under the chair of HC “Dumps” Willis, members painstakingly examined records at the Cape Archives, collected photographs, maps, books and family documents, and created one of the most significant local heritage archives in the Western Cape, she adds. Their efforts led directly to the establishment of the Simon’s Town Museum, which opened on 1 April 1977 in the Old Headmaster’s House with Prof Q Pryce-Lewis as its first curator. When the museum later relocated to The Residency society volunteers once again worked alongside museum staff to catalogue, document and relocate thousands of objects and records, she added,

“They will help scan photographs, catalogue documents and preserve historic records, assist in identifying people, places and events in our photographic collections and help us digitise our remarkable archive for future generations to access,” she said. The society also needs contributors for publications, including republishing articles from its historic bulletins. Heritage and conservation volunteers can assist with documenting historic buildings, supporting heritage interpretation projects and installing historical plaques. FAMILY STORIES

Community project volunteers can help collect family stories, assist with public talks, heritage walks and school outreach.

SIMON’S TOWN HISTORICAL SOCIETY CALL Digital skills are particularly in demand, including photography, graphic design, website content, social media, video editing and digital mapping. “You will assist with public talks, exhibitions, heritage walks and community events and encourage schools and younger generations to discover the remarkable history that surrounds them,” she added. Email estherleroux@gmail.com for more information.

HISTORY DID NOT STOP IN 1960

“More than 60 years later that work continues. History did not stop in 1960, or in 1977, when the museum opened,” Le Roux said. Still the society needs assistance with volunteers to ensure the history of STHS remains chronicled and celebrated. Volunteers do not need to be historians to make a valuable contribution. Volunteers are needed to research the history of buildings, families and businesses, assist with a Unesco World Heritage Initiative, and record oral histories before they are lost.

“This couldn’t be the first time an old sewage pipe has broken; they’re old, so surely over the past fifty years there must be an emergency response protocol, but obviously there was not.” Bristow claimed a few days after the pipe broke, the Retreat pump station spewed sewage into the Langvlei. According to Bristow, the two feeder canals join in Coniston Park and flow into the Zandvlei estuary at Wildwood Island. “We could smell the stink of raw sewage for a week and a half.” Bristow said three weeks after the event, the canals of Marina da Gama had not been tested. “There must be a system or protocol in place for regular or emergency water testing, testing for E coli,” he said. SEWER LEAKAGE

Bristow said when he moved to the area 15 years ago, residents used to swim in the vlei. “The load shedding caused several years of terrible sewer leakage, which was not the City’s fault but national government’s, because the pump stations weren’t used to dealing with power surges and the vandalism — a separate issue the City council addressed well. “The vlei is mostly clear with great water, but events like this really scare the public,” Bristow added. Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for water and sanitation, said the City activated its operational response immediately after the sewer main collapse was identified over the weekend of Saturday 11 July and Sunday 12 July. Response teams placed sandbags around the collapsed section, installed a balloon in the stormwater network to reduce flow into the Sand River Canal, deployed vacuum tankers, and appointed an emergency contractor. The Sand River Pump Station had to be shut down or operated at reduced capacity, which resulted in upstream overflows during peak periods. Bardroodien said the rising main was repaired and the pump station reinstated on Friday 17 July, after which clean-up operations commenced. Andrews, said the Zandvlei waterbody was closed on Friday 17 July after E. coli concentrations exceeded 4 000 CFU/100 ml — above the threshold for intermediate-contact recreation. Three sections were reopened on Thursday 30 July after E. coli readings decreased to acceptable levels, though two sections at the entrance to Marina da Gama remain closed.

Spirit of Scouting celebrated KEANAN HARMSE he values and spirit of Scouting were celebrated during a parkrun where a sea of purple T-shirts and green scarves streamed into Zandvlei on Saturday 1 August.

More than 50 members of 1st Muizenberg Scout Group gathered for the event and joined Scouts across South Africa in celebrating World Scout Scarf Day. Traditionally observed on 1 August each year, World Scout Scarf Day sees Scouts around the world wear their scarves to school, work and in their communities as a visible reminder of the values and spirit of Scouting. “With this year’s celebration falling on a Saturday, Scouts South Africa launched a new national initiative, Paint Parkrun Purple, encouraging Scout Groups to take their scarves with their purple shirts to local parkruns instead. “The initiative draws inspiration from the Western Cape’s popular Paint the Lion Purple campaign, where Scouts hike Lion’s Head during October in celebration of Scouting,” said Scout group leader Angela LeeWright. Members of 1st Muizenberg, including Meerkats, Cubs, Scouts, Rovers and Adult Leaders, embraced the challenge at Zandvlei parkrun on a crisp winter morning. As the sun rose over the vlei, golden light reﬂected across the water, providing a spectacular backdrop to the event. Former Scout parent Verity Bester,

NATIONAL INITIATIVE, PAINT PARKRUN PURPLE who is part of the Zandvlei parkrun organising team, welcomed the group and spoke to members and their families about the role parkrun plays in promoting healthy lifestyles, building friendships and strengthening local communities. “To paint the parkrun purple was a super fun way to show off our scarves and scouting spirit, as it was World Scarf Day last Saturday, and we all had such a blast!,” said fellow Scout, Rachel Turck. Several Cubs produced outstanding performances, finishing well ahead of much of the field, while the group’s youngest members, the Meerkats, captured the attention of fellow participants and volunteers alike. “Their enthusiasm, determination and cheerful encouragement of one another drew praise throughout the morning, with many commenting on how wonderful it was to see children of such a young age embracing the event,” added Lee-Wright. One participant proved impossible to miss. Pack Scouter Jason Suter arrived dressed in a full chicken rider costume, delighting children and adults alike. The costume quickly became one of the highlights of the morning, with youngsters eagerly chasing the “chicken man” around the finish area. Several days later, Suter is still being recognised around the South Peninsula thanks to his memorable appearance.

Beyond the fun and colourful spectacle, the event highlighted the value of partnerships between community organisations, Lee-Wright explained. For 1st Muizenberg, the event was a ﬁtting celebration of World Scout Scarf Day that highlighted the value of partnerships between community organisation, she said. By bringing together Scouting and parkrun, the morning encouraged young people and families to enjoy the outdoors, embrace healthy living and strengthen the sense of community that makes neighbourhoods safer, friendlier and more connected, Lee-Wright added.

Scouts across South Africa took part in the Zandvlei parkrun.

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

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

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.”
