BO-KAAP TRAFFIC AND PARKING CONGESTION ISSUE

Ultimatum for City KAYLYNNE BANTOM KAYLYNNE.BANTOM@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

he City of Cape Town has been given seven days to outline how it plans to tackle worsening traﬃc congestion, illegal parking and the growing impact of tourism in Bo-Kaap. In a letter addressed to the City, seen by People’s Post, the Bo-Kaap Civic and Ratepayers Association (BKCRA) said residents have reached breaking point, accusing the City of failing to address long-standing concerns despite repeated complaints

and engagements. The association said the continued promotion of Bo-Kaap as a major tourist destination, without adequate management or enforcement, has left residents dealing with blocked driveways, illegal parking by tour operators, traffic congestion, noise and large groups of tourists obstructing roads and pavements (“Bo-Kaap residents call for traffic”, People’s Post, 23 October 2024). According to Ebrahim Christian, the vice-chair of the BKCRA, tour buses and tourist vehicles regularly park in contravention of traffic regulations. “They are often preventing residents from accessing or parking outside their homes. The tourists pull up and

“TOURISTS PULL UP AND PARK WHEREVER THEY WANT” park wherever they want. “Residents living in Wale Street must wait ages to park because they park in front of your house. There’s no respect for residents.” Christian has called on the City to deploy dedicated traffic services officials in the area, enforce traffic and parking laws against tour operators, convene an urgent meeting with residents and tourism stakeholders,

and develop a comprehensive tourism management plan that balances tourism with residents’ constitutional rights. “We have had meetings with stakeholders in the tourism sector, but it has been all talk and no action. The City now needs to come up with a clear plan because residents cannot continue living like this,” said Christian. Christian, who has lived in Bo-Kaap for 59 years, said tourism in the historic neighbourhood has become increasingly unmanageable, with tour groups arriving as early as 07:00 every morning.

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.

Serving with integrity KAYLYNNE BANTOM 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 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

He claimed tour operators routinely ignore traﬃc regulations. “Tour operators don’t care. Even the stoep of the mosque is being used as a viewing point by tourists. There has to be respect for the people who live here,” Christian said. Christian said the BKCRA has already presented the City with a proposed tourism management framework aimed at addressing the growing pressures on the community. Rob Quintas, Mayco member for urban mobility, said the City is “aware of the letter”. Quintas said a stop-and-drop along Buitengracht CBD bound has been implemented “apart from the residential parking restriction arrangements” Other implementations include: A bus holding area along Buitengracht (prior to the no entry into Wale Street), the holding area at the back of the Civic to accommodate the smaller mini-buses. Prohibition signage to all the main approaches at Wale Street and Buitengracht. The marking of existing legislatory restriction on approaches to all intersections “Parking restriction on one side of Wale/ Yusuf Street (i.e. between Pentz and Van der Meulen Street on the southern side). “The City’s proposal was to implement a parttime restriction i.e. that would apply to daytime hours only as community representatives have sited nighttime safety concerns should a 24/7 restriction apply). “We were however asked to put this on hold until a formal agreement could be reached between the residents, not just among their representatives.” He added that the residential on-street parking restriction, which is the rearrangement of parking and re-orientation of loading bays in front of the businesses and restaurants, is currently pending a further public consultation

they saw or knew about.” 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 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.”

/ engagement. Kevin Jacobs, spokesperson for the City’s traffic services, said traffic personnel “maintain a daily dedicated deployment” within the area. “Officers continue to monitor and address traffic-related challenges through regular enforcement operations, and attend to violations, illegal parking and traffic transgressions.” Jacobs urged residents to report traffic and parking complaints on 021 480 7700. “Residents can also log by-law and traffic related complaints by using the Safety and Security feature on the City App.”

TMACC opens after maintenance KAYLYNNE BANTOM The 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 most significant tasks was replacing the steel-wire ropes that pull the cable car up the mountain. 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.

Swimmer Le Clos loses home in Sea Point fire KAYLYNNE BANTOM lympic swimming champion Chad le Clos has launched a crowdfunding campaign through his foundation to help residents affected by the devastating fire that tore through the Dorchester apartment block in Sea Point, revealing that he had also lost his home in the blaze.

In a statement shared on social media Le Clos said the fire broke out on the evening of Thursday 30 July while he was competing in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, where he won three medals and set a Commonwealth Games record with 21 career medals. The fire claimed the life of 93-year-old resident Sam Strime. He reportedly died from smoke inhalation. Reflecting on the tragedy, Le Clos said he was still coming to terms with the loss of his home and mourning the death of his longtime neighbour. “Sadly my home, where I’ve lived for more than a decade, burnt down and there is nothing left to salvage.” He expressed his condolences to Strime’s loved ones. “It is with a heavy heart that I extend my deepest and most sincere condolences to the family and friends of my neighbour of many years, who tragically lost his life in this fire.” Le Clos also expressed support for other residents affected by the disaster, adding that the Sea Point community had shown “remarkable resilience”. “To my fellow neighbours whose homes and lives were severely affected by this fire please know that you are not alone. This is a tight-knit community and it is at moments like this that we lean on one another.”

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE FIREFIGHTERS Le Clos said all donations would go directly towards helping affected neighbours rebuild their lives, with the Chad le Clos Foundation managing the distribution of funds. He also thanked his family, friends and the wider community for their support, saying their compassion had provided comfort during an incredibly difficult time. He expressed gratitude to firefighters, first responders, the police and emergency personnel for their swift response and tireless efforts on the night of the fire. Meanwhile, his neighbour’s son, Kevin Strime, took to social media to express his family’s “heartfelt gratitude” for the kind messages of support following the tragedy. “We cannot thank you enough for the kindness, compassion, care and support you showed our family. It meant more to us than words can express, and we will always be grateful for everything you have done. “A special thank you to the firefighters, who spent hours trying to put the fire out. We know how incredibly hard you worked, and we are so grateful for every effort you made.” Ward 54 councillor Nicola Jowell also expressed her condolences to the family and thanked firefighters for their tireless efforts. She also expressed gratitude to the residents for the support they gave. “There has been a phenomenal outpouring from the community of offering assistance with accommodation. It is heartwarming to see how people always jump to help wherever they can. I take my hat off to the firefighters, a huge thank you to them for their heroic efforts,” she said.

Fatal drive-by shooting shocks Bo-Kaap community KAYLYNNE BANTOM The Bo-Kaap community is reeling from shock following the fatal shooting of a 35-year-old man in Voetboog Street on Wednesday 5 August. According to bystanders, Ameen Samuels was shot by unknown suspects travelling in a red Volkswagen Polo Vivo. They ﬂed the scene immediately afterwards. He was declared dead at the scene by medical personnel. Thembakazi Mpendukana, provincial police spokesperson, said Cape Town Central police were investigating a murder case.

“No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing,” she said. Ebrahim Christian, vice-chair of the Bo-Kaap Civic and Ratepayers Association, described the shooting as “senseless”. “He was a well-respected car guard and was passionate about rugby. I was one of the last people on the scene trying to perform CPR on him. I have known his family for years. This was really a senseless killing.” Mpendukana urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or use the MySAPS App to submit information anonymously.

PEOPLE’SPOST | Woodstock|Maitland|City Tuesday, 11 August 2026

SA Agulhas II sets sail for Marion Island KAILIN DANIELS fter months of uncertainty over an emergency evacuation and a shortage of specialised polar diesel the SA Agulhas II has ﬁnally set sail from Cape Town for Marion Island, marking the return of South Africa’s scientiﬁc research team to the remote subAntarctic island.

The vessel is carrying the 83rd Marion Island Overwintering Team, known as M83, which comprises about 20 scientists, researchers and specialists who will spend the next eight months continuing South Africa’s research programmes on the island. The voyage follows the temporary closure of the Marion Island research base at the end of May after the annual resupply and team rotation mission was disrupted by a shortage of polar diesel. Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment David Maynier led the oﬃcial send-oﬀ of the SA Agulhas II on Monday 3 August, as the vessel prepared to resume the mission. Maynier said the department had worked to ensure the team could return to Marion Island after they were evacuated earlier this year. “The department has pulled out all the stops to ensure that our team get back to Marion Island after being evacuated earlier this year because of a shortage of polar diesel,” he said. “Of course, we’ll have about 20 scientists, who will be contributing to world-class research programmes.” FUEL CRISIS FORCED EVACUATION

The return of the team comes after the previous Marion Island research base was temporarily closed following an increasingly diﬃcult fuel situation. The vessel was initially expected to leave Cape Town earlier in the year

to relieve researchers who had been stationed on Marion Island since April last year. However, the mission was delayed after the vessel only received a shipment of the specialised polar diesel required for Antarctic and sub-Antarctic operations in May. The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment attributed the delay primarily to a global scarcity of fuel products linked to geopolitical developments in the Middle East. At the time, the research base had enough polar diesel reserves to last until around Wednesdy 20 May, while food supplies were expected to last for approximately two months.

Backup petrol generators and nine stocked research huts were also available across the island to support emergency requirements if necessary. The newly delivered polar diesel also had to undergo testing and mixing to ensure it would not crystallise or freeze in the extreme cold conditions experienced in the region. The fuel crisis ultimately led to the evacuation of personnel from the island and the temporary closure of the research base, putting the annual handover of researchers on hold. NEXT PHASE OF RESEARCH

With the SA Agulhas II now underway, the M83 team will take over the next phase of the island’s research

programme. The team includes members from the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, the South African Weather Service, the South African National Space Agency, the South African Polar Research Infrastructure and BirdLife South Africa’s Mouse-Free Marion Project. Their work will contribute to South Africa’s internationally respected scientiﬁc programmes in the Southern Ocean, covering environmental, meteorological and wildlife research. Marion Island, situated about 1 920km southeast of Cape Town, is an uninhabited, rocky island covering approximately 290 square kilometres.

Despite its remote location, it is an important base for long-term environmental and meteorological research. The journey from Cape Town to Marion Island takes about ﬁve days. For the M83 team, the voyage marks the long-awaited return to the island and the resumption of research after a challenging period that saw the previous team evacuated and the research base temporarily closed. The SA Agulhas II’s departure now puts the annual overwintering programme back on course, with the new team set to spend the coming months carrying out research in one of South Africa’s most remote scientiﬁc outposts.

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.”

Hilarious hit hits Cape shores Audiences are in for the musical treat of the year when the hit Broadway comedy First Date: The Musical has its South African premiere in October, at the Avalon Theatre, District Six Homecoming Centre in the heart of the Cape Town Central Business District. The show is a delightful romantic comedy about a blind date that goes wonderfully, awkwardly and hilariously off the rails from Wednesday 21 October until Sunday 1 November. Set in a bustling New York City restaurant, First Date: The Musical transforms a simple dinner for Aaron and Casey into a whirlwind of comedy, romance and heart as friends, family, exes and inner critics burst into song and dance, offering their often-unhelpful opinions on every moment of the date. “Let’s face it, we’ve all had, or know someone who has had, an interesting dating experience,” says producer Harley Ferguson. “We are proud present the local premiere of this wonderful, fast-paced musical comedy that turns the highs, lows and hilarious awkwardness of a first date into an unforgettable night at

the theatre.” “Whether you’re happily single, hopelessly romantic or have survived a few disastrous dates yourself, gather your friends, family, partners and loved ones, for an entertaining evening full of laughter, heart and the excitement of new beginnings.” With music and lyrics by Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner, and the book by Austin Winsberg, the South African premiere production is directed by Byron Bure. The cast features some of the country’s most exciting rising musical-theatre talent: Emma Amber as Casey, Ethan Saunders as Aaron, William Young as Gabe/Stoner Guy, Kirsten Pienaar as Lauren/Aaron’s mother/ Grandma Ida, Asanda Mngadi as Reggie/British rocker/ Aaron’s future son and Zoë Chetty as Alison. Also joining the Company are Robert Shenton as the Waiter, Nikita Latimer as Google Girl and Ethan Dunk as Casey’s father. Completing the dynamic creative team are nusical director Casey Wallace, choreographer Angelica Hattingh and assistant choreographer Amber Morgan.

Advertorial

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.”
