WOMEN AND GIRLS SAY THEY HAVE HAD ENOUGH
Women demand action KAYLYNNE BANTOM KAYLYNNE.BANTOM@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA
“T
his happened to me two weeks ago.” “I was 19”, “I was 14”, “I was six”.
These were chanted by a group made up mainly of women during a silent demonstration outside Cape Town Central Police Station on
Tuesday 16 September. One by one, they called out the ages at which they were sexually assaulted. Each number represented a personal experience of sexual violence and a woman who had spoken out. The Cape of Storms lived up to its name as strong winds swept through Cape Town on Tuesday, but it could not silence the voices of women who had gathered to protest the murder of more than eight women in Ekurhuleni over a two-month period. The 100-strong group, dressed in black and
holding placards reading “Girls just want to live” and “Leave women alone”, gathered outside the Castle of Good Hope before moving up to the police station, where they held their demonstration for about 30 minutes. The demonstration was organised by Cape Town-based stylist Selloane Jeminah Madonna, who said she had posted a call on social media, on Monday 15 September, for people to attend it and was overwhelmed by the response.

A total of 71 300 full-time matric learners in the province will enter the final leg of their school journey when the national examinations begin on Tuesday 13 October. The examinations will run until Wednesday 25 November, marking the culmination of years of schooling for the Class of 2026. In a statement issued on Sunday 13 September Western Cape Education Minister Jaco Londt outlined the preparations underway to support learners and ensure the province is ready for the examination period. The Western Cape will have 485 examination centres in operation, comprising 477 high schools, seven primary schools and one correctional services facility serving as a designated centre for part-time
learners. About 2 600 community invigilators and 3 857 markers will be involved in the examination process, with 123 examination papers scheduled to be written. Londt said Grade 12 teachers, tutors and officials across the province had been working hard to ensure matriculants were prepared for the final chapter of their school careers. More than 31 000 matric learners attended #BackOnTrack winter-school classes during the midyear school holiday. These classes were held across the Western Cape’s eight education districts and covered various subjects. Revision classes will also take place during the upcoming thirdterm school holiday as learners enter the final weeks of preparation. The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) has also made a range of support resources available to Grade 12 learners. These include examination question papers and memoranda,

Learners can also access information about funding for further studies, health and well-being support as well as free internet and related services through WCG eCentres. Londt acknowledged that the examination period could be stressful for learners and encouraged those who were struggling, or adults concerned about a learner’s mental health, to seek help. School staff can seek guidance from district support teams, while the Safe Schools Hotline on 0800 45 46 47 can connect learners with support from government departments and NGOs. Londt called on parents, guard-

ians and communities to give learners their support as they enter the final month before the examinations. He urged communities not to disrupt learners’ study time or do anything that could negatively affect their focus. To the matrics Londt said: “This is your moment.” He encouraged learners to remain disciplined and focused, adding that there would be time for celebrations later. “For now remain disciplined and focused, your hard work will pay off,” he said.

City strengthens Homeless World Cup team The City of Cape Town is strengthening its partnership with Oasis Reach For Your Dreams through the Homeless World Cup programme, which uses soccer to support people who have experienced homelessness and rough sleeping as they work towards reintegration. Oasis, a non-profit organisation (NPO) based in Schaapkraal, has coordinated Cape Town’s participation in the programme for several years, providing opportunities
for people who have experienced homelessness to play soccer at local and international level. This year, the partnership has expanded as part of the City’s Strategy to Reduce Rough Sleeping and its commitment to the Vanguard City Programme. The programme focuses on practical and collaborative interventions to prevent homelessness where possible and, when it occurs, make it rare, brief and non-recurring. Nearly 60 play-
ers participated in the initial trials on Thursday 27 August, with 22 progressing to a second round held at Oasis Business Park. Participants came from organisations including Oasis, MES and The Haven Night Shelters, with participation also extending to MES programmes in the Eastern Cape and Johannesburg. Eight players have been selected to represent South Africa at the Homeless World Cup in Mexico in Janu-
ary next year, with the final squad set to be announced on Tuesday 13 October. The initiative aims to show how sport can contribute to the rebuilding of lives. Through soccer, participants can develop discipline, teamwork, friendships, confidence and a sense of belonging. These connections are particularly important for people who have experienced the isolation and exclusion associated with living on the streets.

Another woman is dead. Her body was found on the side of the road in Olifantsfontein on Monday 14 September . She was the fifth woman whose remains were discovered in the Kempton Park area since July. One of them was Elizabeth “Tsontso” Moselakgomo. She went for a run on Wednesday 9 September and did not come home. Her family identified her body at the Germiston mortuary on Monday 14 September. Police say the five women were found half-naked, with visible bruises. Deputy National Police Commissioner Tebello Mosikili confirmed that most had been sexually molested. Two of the five have not yet been identified. These are not crime statistics. They are women who had plans, families and ordinary days ahead of them. THE VIGILANCE WE DID NOT ASK FOR
Every time a woman is killed, the conversation turns to what she should have done differently. Don’t run alone. Don’t walk at night. Share your location. Tell someone where you are. Watch your surroundings. Check the back seat. Call when you arrive. Women already do all of this. We have turned survival into a second job. We calculate risk before doing ordinary things like running, walking to the car, taking a taxi, leaving
work late. And still, women die. The state cannot outsource public safety to the people it is supposed to protect.
That is a trauma no child should inherit, and no government should have allowed.
WHEN THE HORN STAYED SILENT
South Africa has become a reactive state. We wait for the crisis, then we respond. We wait for the protest before listening. We wait for the death before asking whether the warning signs were visible. Then come the statements, the condolences, the task teams and the promises. Until the next tragedy. Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) was declared a national disaster in November last year. The National Council on GBVF held its first meeting on Monday 31 August this year under the National Council on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide Act. Minister in the Presidency for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities Sindisiwe Chikunga called it “the institutionalisation of a national commitment.” Those are important words. But institutions cannot become substitutes for action. A declaration is not prevention. A strategy is not implementation. A structure is not accountability. And a government statement cannot bring a woman home.
The first body was found near the R21 on Wednesday 15 July. A suspect was arrested on Friday 17 July. The second body was found on Monday 24 August. Elizabeth left for her run on 9 September. A third body was found the next day, Thursday 10 September. A fourth Elizabeth’s on Saturday 12 September. A fifth on Monday 14 September. Had the alarm been raised when that first body was found, had information been shared with the communities living in its shadow, would the other four still be alive? We will never know, because the horn was not blown. Instead, a second woman was killed. Then a third. It took Elizabeth’s disappearance the fourth for the country to pay attention. She had to be the alarm. She had to be the sacrifice. And the burden of raising that alarm fell on her eight-year-old daughter, who sat at home waiting for her mother to return from her evening run. When 18:30 passed and the door stayed closed, that child told the family something was wrong. Her uncle, Andries Matlala, called it an iconic moment. I call it a failure so complete that it left a child to do the state’s job. That girl will carry the memory of that evening for the rest of her life the moment she realised her mother was not coming home.
A REACTIVE STATE
A JOURNALIST'S VIEW
As a journalist, I see another side of this crisis. Every day, I enter communities to do my job. I knock on doors, follow leads and ask questions that make institutions uncomfortable. I take precautions. I assess my
surroundings. But vigilance is not a guarantee of safety, and “it comes with the job” should never become an acceptable response to journalists being threatened while serving the public. We also know what it means to chase information that should be accessible. We call. We email. We follow up. We ask again. Too often, information that should flow freely from public institutions to the public has to be extracted through persistence. Had it been shared when the first body was found, perhaps Elizabeth would still be alive. Perhaps her daughter would still be waiting for her at the door, not mourning her at a mortuary. THE QUESTION
We have normalised the abnormal. We have become accustomed to mourning, to hashtags, to candlelight vigils, to ministers expressing shock, to promises, to bodies. Women should not have to die for the state to discover that women are in danger. Journalists should not have to expose institutional failure before institutions decide to function. And an eight-year-old should not have to raise the alarm that the state failed to sound. A government should not be measured only by how it responds to a crisis. It should be measured by how many crises it prevents. Because if the state only wakes up when there is a body, then the question is no longer whether it knows we are unsafe. The question is whether the state has accepted our deaths as the price of doing business.

Addressing the crowd, Madonna, dressed in black underwear with the names of murdered women written across her body, read their names out. Some of these cases date back to 2017. Madonna, who said she is a survivor of sexual assault, told protesters that although her attacker did not kill her she had been forced to live with the trauma every day. “I was 19 years old. I did not deserve that. I was in my second year at varsity. This needs to stop… these are our sisters, our mothers, our aunts. Men, these are the same people who birthed you.” Madonna called on men not to remain silent. “As women of South Africa we are tired. We need the men of South Africa to say something. What is happening in our country? What is happening to our mothers and sisters, aunts?” Protester Olethwe Gigi said she joined the demonstration in solidarity with a friend who died by suicide last year after she was raped. “My friend and her perpetrator went to the same university. Nothing much was done about
the incident. She eventually ended up committing suicide. We are tired.” Another protester, Khanya Kakaza, said the violence had left her questioning whether she wanted to have children. “I am sick and tired of having to wonder, ‘Am I next?’ I am at a stage now where I don’t even know if I want my own kids. We are tired as women.” A protester, who wanted to remain anonymous, said: “We should not be here in front of the police station to take us seriously…we shouldn’t be begging men to protect us. How much more suffering and pain do we have to go through as women in South Africa? How many more lives need to be taken?” During the demonstration, women continued calling out the ages at which they had been sexually assaulted or abused. The group called on government to take action to protect women and children from violence. A R400 000 reward has been offered for information that could assist in the investigation into the murders.
Human trafficker arrested after her victim escapes KAYLYNNE BANTOM A 29-year-old woman accused of human trafficking will remain in police custody until her next court appearance on Monday 28 September. Jasmine Maureen Robert, a Nigerian national, made her second court appearance in the Cape Town Magistrates’ Court yesterday (21 September). She was arrested by the Bellville Hawks Economic Protected Resources team on Sunday 13 September, following the rescue of a 22-yearold woman in Woodstock who was trafficked. Robert has been charged with trafficking in persons and made her first court appearance on Tuesday 15 September. According to WO Zinzi Hani, a spokesperson for the Hawks, the victim originally from Nigeria met Robert via Tik Tok in April this year as Robert was looking for a hair stylist. “She (victim) agreed and the suspect made arrangements and paid for all her travel documents, passport and flight tickets to Cape
Town,” explained Hani. Hani said once the victim arrived in Cape Town, she was picked up by the suspect where she was taken to a hotel. “Through investigation it revealed that the suspect took the victim’s passport as well as her cellphone.” It is reported that the suspect attempted to force the victim into prostitution, but she refused. On Sunday 13 September the victim managed to escape and ran to Woodstock Police Station where she was assisted by officers. Hani said Robert also went to the station asking about the victim’s whereabouts after which she was positively identified by the victim and arrested. Gary Adams, acting Woodstock Community Policing Forum (CPF) chair and public relations officer, welcomed the arrest. “We are glad that justice is going to be served and that the victim has been appeased in a way that the suspect has been arrested,” said Adams.
Sub-sector 4 CPF AGM tomorrow Woodstock Sub-sector 4 Community Policing Forum will hold its AGM election at St Mary’s Church Hall in Station Road tomorrow (23 September). Sub-sector 4 comprises of Lower Woodstock.
Proceedings will start at 18:30.

Finding the right time for ‘Amy’ NAMHLA MONAKALI
A
Plumstead singer-songwriter is turning a song she wrote as a teenager into a message of selfacceptance and hope. Robyn-Beth Cloete, who performs under the name Bethe, has lived in Plumstead since May 2023. She says the community has helped her develop her identity as an artist. Her new single, “Amy”, was written when she was a teenager, but remained unreleased for years. “I wrote ‘Amy’ as a teenager when I was struggling to wake up every day,” she said. “I never found the right time to release it before now. I feel ready to show it to the world now.” A NAME WITH HISTORY
The song’s name dates back to her high school band, Finding Amy. Bethe had intended to write the song for the band, but the group broke up before she could finish it. Years later, she returned to the unfinished song. She kept the name Amy but gave it a new meaning. For Bethe, the song has become a way to explore mental health, identity and selfcompassion. BREAKING THE SILENCE
She was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum as an adult. She grew up in a family where mental health issues were not widely understood. “I struggled a lot on my own before being able to seek mental healthcare and a diagnosis as an adult,” she said. Her experiences led her to talk to other people, particularly people of colour, about their mental health challenges. “It made me realise that in our communities, mental health issues are unaddressed,” she said. “This leads to a lot of generational traumas
I AM PROUDLY A GROWNUP WEIRD KID. YOU DON’T HAVE TO LOOK LIKE EVERYONE ELSE OR SOUND LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN ORDER TO HAVE VALUE that many of us are dealing with silently.” Bethe believes art can help open conversations that people may otherwise struggle to have. “I think making art like this helps to open up the conversation and begin healing,” she said. FINDING A HOME IN PLUMSTEAD
Although she did not grow up in the area, Plumstead reminds her of the community she knew in Midrand, Johannesburg. She describes her neighbourhood as integrated and full of activity. Children play outside, and the everyday sounds of apartment-block life fill her surroundings. Her neighbours have even encouraged her to open her windows when she practises singing so they can hear her better. A local market gave her an opportunity to perform there once a month. Community members have supported her by tipping her at performances. “I wouldn’t have been able to discover my artistic identity as deeply without the community giving the time, space and patience to do so,” she said. A NEW STAGE
Bethe is one of eight artists selected for the 2026 Beyond Busking Programme. It is presented by Western Cape Arts Festivals in partnership with the Ariva Arts Foundation. The programme offers professional development in songwriting, musicianship, vocal de-
velopment and live performance. It also covers music business and studio recording. For Bethe, it has provided access to resources and connections that previously seemed out of reach. “I’ve been singing longer than I’ve done anything else, and it always seemed like an uphill battle,” she said. “Beyond Busking made my big dreams feel like they could actually come true.” Recording “Amy” professionally for the first time was another milestone. “It meant that I’m a real artist. I feel like I’m blossoming and that things are actually happening,” she said. “Before this, I felt like I was just hustling and hustling and not getting anywhere.” A GROWING CAREER
The 27-year-old has performed at the V&A Waterfront Amphitheatre and the Canal Walk Mainstage. She has also performed at Comic Con Africa. She reached the Top 4 of the 2026 KFM Galaxy KDay Competition. Her debut single, “Enemy”, was released in August last year. She will perform alongside the other Beyond Busking artists at Beyond Busking Live The Next Stage. The show takes place at The Loft in Hout Bay on Sunday 27 September. “Amy” will be officially released on Friday 30 October. A MESSAGE TO YOUNG LISTENERS
For Bethe, the song is about more than establishing herself in the music industry. She hopes young listeners will feel encouraged to embrace the parts of themselves that make them different. “I am proudly a grown-up weird kid,” she said. “You don’t have to look like everyone else or sound like everyone else in order to have value.

Walk for sisters on 30th Racing driver Marcel Angel KAYLYNNE BANTOM For Amrita Pande, the question is at the heart of why women need to reclaim their right to occupy public spaces at night. “Why is it that our bodies and lives are so disposable?” Pande, a sociologist and feminist, founded After 8 Sistahood, a Cape Town-based movement that aims to reclaim women’s right to walk the streets at night. Her question comes in light of the gruesome discovery of more than eight murdered women’s bodies in Ekurhuleni over the past two months. The feminist walking group organises night walks for women through Cape Town neighbourhoods. The Cape Town chapter started in August 2022. It was initiated by Pande, based on a practice that began in Delhi, India, in 2016. Since its establishment, hundreds of women from various parts of Cape Town have joined the monthly walk, which takes place in a different community each month. Pande said their next walk, scheduled for Wednesday 30 September at Rondebosch Common, will be in honour of the murdered women. “Violence has become so naturalised and normalised in our country today that it often takes something like this, an accumulation of bodies and a spectacular crime, something like a serial killer to get public attention.” “That is something that should trouble us, why does it take multiple bodies of women for us to collectively pause and realise that this violence is actually every day?”
For Pande, the movement is not simply about safety or making women safer in public areas. It is about making women’s presence in public spaces normal. “It shouldn’t be that women have to be kept at home to stay alive. The movement argues that women have to be in public spaces for work and other reasons, but they are never able to be in public spaces without fear, anxiety or danger. “If women can have a collective presence in public spaces, especially at night, their presence in all places will be normalised because women deserve to be alive.” She adds that women deserve to have pleasure and leisure. “They deserve the right to occupy space, to run or walk after dusk. The answer cannot be that women should be more careful, be vigilant, and not to walk alone or stay out late. That is just creating fear. That is just policing out bodies.” Kensington resident Fadia Gamaldien said she joined the walk in January and recently also hosted the event in the area. “It was an amazing atmosphere where women from all areas came together and just walk. You get to meet new people both locally and internationally. This was a positive experience.” Pande reiterated that the walks are non-ticketed and open not just to women but are welcoming to trans and non-binary participants. “We laugh, we talk and we make our collective presence felt in different parts of the city at night. And that is what is needed. Our presence is needed so that absence of these murdered women can be felt and mourned collectively.”
dies after Killarney crash KAILIN DANIELS Cape Town motorsport is mourning the death of racing driver Marcel Angel (62) after his car crashed through a wall at Killarney International Raceway during the Extreme Festival on Saturday 19 September. Angel, the owner of Cape Town-based Autohaus Angel, reportedly crashed his car at the end of the back straight, going through a wall near the entrance to the landfill site. The crash happened during Race 1 of the Extreme SuperCars Driven by Dunlop. He died in the incident. MEDICAL TEAMS RUSHED TO CRASH SCENE
Killarney International Raceway said medical personnel and officials were immediately on the scene following the crash, but Angel tragically succumbed to his injuries. “The Killarney family are deeply saddened by the passing of experienced Supercar racer Marcel Angel during the Extreme Festival event at Killarney International Raceway on 19 September 2026,” the raceway said. The remainder of the Extreme Festival event was cancelled out of respect for Angel’s family. Killarney extended its condolences to Angel’s wife, Mica, as well as his family and friends. “Our heartfelt condolences go out to Marcel’s wife Mica, his family and friends during this difficult time,” the raceway said. “May he rest in peace.” The fatal crash occurred as the Extreme Festival’s national roster returned to Killarney for its final coastal event of 2026. According to an eyewitness, one of the security guards at the landfill was also injured during the crash. Angel was a familiar name in local motorsport and had competed at Killarney in the Pirelli V8 Masters, including behind the wheel of an Autohaus Angel Ferrari.

the same wall several months ago during a different racing event. The driver’s identity and the circumstances surrounding the earlier crash are not known to People's Post at this stage. WOLK TRAGEDY ADDS TO SOMBRE WEEKEND
The Killarney racing community is also mourning the death of another driver, Robert Wolk, who was due to compete at the Killarney event over the weekend. Wolk, 41, was fatally shot in Kempton Park on Wednesday 16 September while preparing to travel to Cape Town for the race weekend. Gauteng police confirmed three suspects were arrested in connection to Wolk’s murder. Wolk’s career spanned almost three decades, beginning in karting before moving into singleseaters and touring cars. His achievements included SA Junior GP Kart Championship titles in 1995 and 1997, multiple Formula Ford championships and the 2013 SA Formula Volkswagen Championship,. He also won the 2024 SS Touring Cars Championship and claimed his second Simola Hillclimb King of the Hill title in May this year.

Imbizo on Bo-Kaap crime R
KAYLYNNE BANTOM
esidents, police and law-enforcement agencies met at the Bo-Kaap Civic Centre on Monday 14 September to discuss crime concerns and strengthen cooperation between police and the community.
The gathering, organised by Cape Town Central Police, brought stakeholders together from Sector 3, which includes Bo-Kaap, Tamboerskloof and De Waterkant. Brig Gerda van Niekerk, Cape Town Central Police Station commander, said the community raised concerns about youth not attending school (truancy) and required assistance from police. “The police encouraged community members to identify the youth so that police can encourage them to join the youth desk as well as the Junior Commissioners,” she explained. According to Van Niekerk, robberies, drug abuse, car break-in, theft and house break-in are some of the key crime trends within the sector. She said arrests, relating to these cases, “are being executed daily by police.” Van Niekerk said imbizos will be conducted
COOPERATION AND POLICE HELP WITH UNRULY YOUTH IDENTIFIED AT IMBIZO monthly within the Cape Town Central Police jurisdiction, alternating between the different sectors. Ebrahim Christian, vice-chair of the Bo-Kaap Civic and Ratepayers’ Association (BKCRA), said the event highlighted the importance of collaboration between residents and police. “The event was about how police and the community can work together. It gave residents the opportunity to speak directly to police and understand the role between police and law enforcement.” He called for more events of this nature to be held in the community. “We haven’t had a police imbizo for a couple of years, so events such as these are important and we want more of them to take place.” Van Niekerk expressed her gratitude to the community for attending the imbizo and asked that they continue to be the “eyes and ears of police.” Bo-Kaap, Tamboerskloof and De Waterkant residents raised concerns about robberies, theft, drug abuse and break-ins at a police imbizo.

Trial aimed at diverting home food waste from landfill Residents and small businesses in Woodstock are being encouraged to take part in a City of Cape Town trial aimed at diverting food waste from landfill. The City’s Urban Waste Management directorate has launched an organic food waste diversion trial at the Woodstock Drop-off Facility in Beach Road, with the Hout Bay Drop-off Facility also participating. The trial will run until March next year, after which the City will assess the amount of food waste diverted from landfill and consider whether the service can be expanded to other areas. Residents and small businesses who participate will separate their food waste at home or at their premises and take it to the participating drop-off facility. Participants can sign up at the facility and choose up to two sealable containers in 5, 10 or 20-litre sizes to store their food waste. The containers can be exchanged for another size if needed. Once a container is full, participants must return it to the same facility, where the food waste can be emptied at a dedicated organic waste point. The container will then be cleaned using a waterless process before being returned to the participant. The City said food waste sent to landfill contributes to the production of landfill gas and that the trial is intended to explore practical ways of diverting organic waste while helping reduce Cape Town’s carbon footprint. Food waste accepted as part of the trial includes cooked and raw food scraps, fruit and vegetable peels, eggshells, coffee grounds and tea bags, as well as certain biodegradable paper products. Participants are asked to ensure that food waste is free of contaminants such as plastic, glass and metal. Extremely rotten or foul-smelling food waste will not be accepted.

The Woodstock Drop-off Facility is located at 25 Beach Road, while the Hout Bay facility is on Main Road, near Mandela Road. The containers issued during the trial may only be emptied at the two participating facilities, and food waste exceeding the volume of the containers provided will not be accepted because of capacity limitations. Residents and businesses interested in participating can visit either facility and speak to the team on site. Participants may also be asked to complete occasional questionnaires to help the City assess the effectiveness of the trial. For more information, email re.cycling@capetown.gov.za

Two paddlers saved by NSRI
T
wo experienced paddlers are recovering after a dramatic sea rescue off the Cape Peninsula coast on Saturday afternoon 16 September after the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI Simon’s Town) launched a dramatic sea rescue for the pair. The paddlers spent nearly two hours battling severe exhaustion and hypothermia in rough seas before rescue crews located them. The NSRI Simon’s Town duty crew activated at 15:56 following reports that the double surf-ski paddlers, visiting from St Francis Bay, were well
overdue on their popular downwind route from Miller’s Point to Fish Hoek. Conditions were treacherous, featuring ferocious southeasterly winds gusting up to 40 knots and sea swells reaching 2 metres. With no emergency signal triggered via the SafeTrx application, the NSRI mobilised coast watchers, deployed rescue swimmers to Whale Watcher’s Point, and launched two rescue craft, the Donna Nicholas and Jack & Irene. Crew members searching north from the Roman Rock Lighthouse spotted the casualties about 20 minutes into the operation, just offshore of Glencairn. The male paddler was
seated on the craft while the female paddler was clinging to the back in the water. Rescuers immediately plunged into the ocean to secure both individuals. It was later revealed that the pair had capsized early in their journey and drifted heavily northwards. They lost their mobile phone overboard during the initial capsize. For nearly two hours they repeatedly attempted to reboard the craft while fighting the freezing elements. Cape Medical Response (CMR) paramedics provided extensive, life-saving medical care for severe hypothermia at the Simon’s Town base before releasing the grateful paddlers to their family.
