HILL-LEWIS PRAAT BY SAKEKAMER Geordin Hill-Lewis (middel), Kaapstad se burgemeester, het verlede Woensdag (9 September) lede van die Durbanville- Sakekamer toegespreek. Hy het ’n oorsig gegee oor die Kaap se huidige ekonomiese en ontwikkelingsklimaat, met die fokus veral op Durbanville en dié voorstad se rol in die groter stadsgebied. Hill-Lewis het onder meer gesê Durbanville se groei het ’n regstreekse en positiewe uitwerking op die Stad. Hy het beklemtoon dat voortgesette samewerking tussen die Stad, plaaslike ondernemings en die breër gemeenskap noodsaaklik is om volhoubare groei en ontwikkeling oor alle sektore heen te verseker. Saam met Hill-Lewis is, van links, Nyreen en Pieter Koen, Johann Coetzee, Tommy van Zyl, Alexa Koen, Rikus Scheepers en Inge van der Merwe.

cLaren Circus may soon have to leave its lions and tigers at home, or skip Cape Town altogether for its next tour to the Western Province. This after the tabling of proposed amendments to the City of Cape Town's animal keeping by-law, which would, among

other changes, prohibit the use of wild and exotic animals in circus acts within city limits. The draft amendments also tighten the screws on anyone displaying or exhibiting animals for show or financial gain. No person may do so without a
permit from the City, and any application would first have to pass review by an animal welfare inspector before approval. Keeping wild animals on any premises would require permits from both the relevant nature conservation authorities and
the City, and no wild animals may be kept in public places at all. Law enforcement would also get sharper teeth. Authorised officials could search premises, vehicles, persons or structures without a warrant to seize any animal or item believed connected to an offence under the by-law.

Schools mourn Kenridge teacher TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS ebbie de Lange is being remembered as a teacher, coach and mentor whose influence reached well beyond the classrooms of Kenridge Primary School. De Lange died on Friday morning after a long battle with cancer. Kenridge announced her passing on social media on Saturday 12 September, prompting tributes from parents, former learners, colleagues and neighbouring schools. Principal Claudell Müller said De Lange had been a valued member of the Kenridge family since 2013. “She will be remembered as a devoted mother, a dedicated staff member and a loyal friend,” Müller said. De Lange's association with Kenridge started as a parent at the school's preprimary section, where she was her two sons' “loudest cheerleader”. She later joined the staff, initially coaching netball before moving into Physical Education. In the latter part of her career, she taught Geography and Economic and Management Sciences (EMS), primarily to Grade 7 learners. Müller said De Lange expected learners to take responsibility for their work and pushed them to reach their potential. “She set high standards, challenged them to work hard and taught them that settling for mediocrity was not an option,” she said. “Her learners knew that she expected their best because she believed they were capable of giving it.”
D
PASSION FOR SPORT Sport, particularly netball, was a major part of De Lange's contribution. Metro North Education District director Wendy Horn said calling her simply a netball coach would not do justice to what she brought to the sport. “Netball was her passion, but more importantly, it was a vehicle through which she served, inspired and brought people together,” Horn said. Through tournaments and other netball initiatives, De Lange helped create opportunities for young players to compete, develop and grow in confidence. “For Debbie, it was never simply about winning a netball match,” Horn said. “It was about what sport could teach young people – discipline, teamwork, resilience, respect and the confidence to become the best version of themselves.” Horn said De Lange was someone who stepped forward when work needed to be done. “When something needed to be done, Debbie did not wait for someone else to do it. She stepped forward.” Her contribution extended into district sport. Deon Campher, who worked with De Lange through athletics, said she officiated and handled administration for the Durbell cluster and served as an important link between Durbanville and Metro North Education District athletics for many years. “She was also the convenor for the district netball committee and WP netball,” Campher said. He said De Lange worked closely with Jaco van Schalkwyk at Durbanville Primary School before handing over some of her responsibilities to him in recent years. “We surely will miss her presence and participation as she was the link between Durbanville and MNED athletics for many years,” he said. Horn said De Lange's influence was felt by learners, coaches, educators and parents. “She created spaces where young people could feel that they belonged and where their abilities could be recognised and celebrated.”
Kenridge Primary School teacher Debbie de Lange.
DEBBIE DE LANGE REMEMBERED AS A TEACHER, COACH AND MENTOR Much of that work happened behind the scenes. “She gave freely of her time and herself,” Horn said. “She was willing to do the work behind the scenes, often without seeking recognition, because her reward was knowing that she had made a difference.” SCHOOLS PAY TRIBUTE Neighbouring schools also shared messages following De Lange's death. Fairmont High School extended its “deepest condolences” to Kenridge Primary. “We would like to extend our deepest condolences to our neighbours, Kenridge Primary School, on this great loss,” the school said. Gene Louw Primary said it received the news with “great sadness”. “Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends, colleagues and learners,” the school said. DF Akademie also paid tribute. 'HER FAITH NEVER WAVERED' Müller said De Lange lived life fully and loved her family and friends deeply. Her Christian faith remained central to her life throughout her illness. “Most importantly, she loved Jesus. Her life was a testimony to her unwavering faith and devotion to God,” Müller said. “Even when she was not feeling well, she continued to live each day with courage, determination and purpose. Her faith never wavered.” Horn said Metro North had lost “a passionate coach, an organiser, a mentor and a woman who understood the power of sport to change lives”. “Her legacy lives in the people she encouraged, the opportunities she created and the countless lives she made a little brighter through her passion and generosity.” Müller said De Lange's contribution would remain part of Kenridge and the wider community. “It was an absolute privilege to walk alongside Debbie, and we are deeply grateful for the lasting contribution she made.” She said De Lange also embodied the school's theme. “Mrs De Lange truly embodied our school theme: 'Step Up and Stand Out.'”

man found dead in a car in Stellenberg on Tuesday morning was allegedly one of two robbers who tried to mug a female jogger, and was shot by a passing motorist who witnessed the attack. According to information received by TygerBurger, the mugging took place at about 07:55 on the corner of Carl Cronje and Frans Conradie Roads. Two men jumped out of a white Mazda and tried to rob a female jogger of her fanny pack. A passing motorist saw the attack and fired shots at the suspects, who jumped back into their car and fled in the direction of Tygervalley. The same car was later seen speeding along Mispel Road before stopping on the corner of Eversdal Road and Mountain View Drive. CCTV footage shows the vehicle had been parked on Raglan Street since 06:00, waiting for a target. After being reported by other motorists,
SUSPECTED ROBBER SHOT DEAD AFTER ALLEGED STELLENBERG JOGGER ATTACK medical personnel responding to the scene found the deceased man, estimated to be in his late twenties, inside the vehicle, with what looked like bullet holes on the side of the car. Next to him was a bottleneck with residue of Mandrax. “Durbanville police received a complaint of the stationery vehicle at around 10:30. On arrival at the scene they found a body of a yet to be identified adult male who sustained gunshot wounds,” said police spokesperson Const Ndakhe Gwala. “According to reports, the deceased and other suspects who fled were involved in street robberies around Bellville and Durbanville. As they were robbing their second victim, a bystander who had a licensed firearm in his possession opened

fire and the suspects drove away. They came to a halt at Eversdal Street and the other suspects fled on foot, leaving the deceased in the vehicle. Two counts of robbery have been registered and an inquest docket for further investigation,” said Gwala.
Bellville businesses prepare to make their pitch TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS A group of northern suburbs entrepreneurs are heading into the final stretch of a four-month programme aimed at helping established businesses grow. The 2026 Bellville Connect Level Up Programme started in July and runs until October. It is aimed at retail, productbased and consumer-facing businesses that have moved beyond the start-up stage and want to strengthen their operations. Participants receive training in areas including financial management, sales, branding, marketing, customer experience
and digital tools. Mentorship and pitch coaching also form part of the programme. The next test will come when selected businesses take part in the Bellville Connect Pitch Competition. The strongest performers will be chosen as the top 10 and receive an opportunity to showcase their products or services at the 2026 Bellville Business Expo. The expo will be held at Tyger Valley Centre in November. For the top 10, participation includes a sponsored exhibition stand and
promotional support. Businesses taking part in the Level Up programme do not pay for the training, but attendance and participation are compulsory. The programme is run by the Greater Tygerberg Partnership as part of its work to connect local businesses with potential customers, mentors, funders and other opportunities. The pitch competition will bring the four-month programme to a close before the selected businesses move on to the expo.
Comment period open on student housing Residents have until 12 October to comment on a rezoning application linked to student accommodation in Belgravia, Bellville. The City opened the application for public comment on 11 September for Erf 39608, at 19A Link Road, which was submitted by Aluncedo Booi on behalf of Gcina Bellville Student Accommodation Proprietary Limited and comes as demand for accommodation around Bellville remains high, particularly in areas within reach of tertiary institutions and public transport.

Residents and other interested parties can inspect the application at the Parow Administrative Building by appointment or access the documents through the City’s land-use application portal. Anyone commenting must include the reference number, their contact details, their interest in the matter and reasons for their submission. The City also asks objectors to explain how they believe the application could affect them or the surrounding area. Late submissions will generally not be accepted unless the City Manager agrees to an extension in writing.

FROM PAGE 1 Other proposed changes include stricter regulations around working animals and a dedicated section empowering animal inspectors to enforce the by-law. ANIMAL-FREE ENTERTAINMENT Long-time animal activist Toni Brockhoven, chair of Beauty Without Cruelty (BWC), has welcomed the new draft by-law, calling it "an excellent new document". “We are delighted by the exclusion of wild and exotic animals in the circus. It has been a long time coming, it is long overdue and there will be great joy and jubilation when this finally passes,” she said, adding that the organisation has been advocating against the use of circus animals since 2009. Brockhoven acknowledged that this progress reflects sustained efforts by BWC alongside other organisations and individuals. "The proposed changes are an encouraging outcome of that collective advocacy, with final adoption still awaited," she says. Chad Cupido, executive officer of BWC, says the proposed prohibition on using wild or exotic animals in circus acts represents meaningful progress towards animal-free entertainment. "Our position is straightforward. We support circus arts, but oppose using animals as circus entertainment," he says. "The proposed circus restriction names wild and exotic animals; it does not expressly prohibit domestic-animal acts. BWC’s broader position remains that circus entertainment should be animal free. Implementation

must also protect animals already involved. Any transition should prioritise lawful, suitable lifelong care, veterinary oversight and proper welfare safeguards, rather than simply moving the problem elsewhere," he says. "Our message is: 'Keep the circus arts. End the use of animals. Families can enjoy extraordinary entertainment without making animals pay the price'."
The Cape of Good Hope SPCA too supports the prohibition of wild and exotic animals in circuses and performances. "This is something the welfare sector at large has called for for a long time," says spokesperson Belinda Abrahams. CIRCUS TO OBJECT McLaren Circus confirmed that it will be making formal representations and objection to the proposed blanket prohibition

on wild and exotic animals in circus performances, while fully supporting responsible animal welfare and regulation. "We always maintain the best standard for our animals. Importantly, performing animals are already regulated under national legislation, including the Performing Animals Protection Act, as well as applicable ordinances and CapeNature permitting requirements in the Western Cape. We therefore believe that the proper regulation, licensing and inspection requirements already exists," says circus spokesperson Karl Hildebrandt. "McLaren Circus has operated for approximately 21 years, with performing animals forming an integral part of the traditional circus. We are currently the only operational traditional circus of this nature in South Africa," he says. Hildebrand argues Constitutional protection for the freedom to choose and practise a trade, occupation or profession, subject to lawful regulation. "Where a municipal by-law goes beyond regulation and potentially makes an established lawful business model impossible to operate, we believe the necessity, rationality and proportionality of that restriction must be properly considered in addition to the conflicts it potentially creates in all spheres of legislation," he says. Residents across Cape Town have until end of September to add their voices to the proposed amendment of the City of Cape Town's animal keeping by-law, which are currently open for public comment.
R2m worth of Mandrax seized on N1
C
ape Town saw a major drug bust this past weekend when the flying squad seized a R2 million Mandrax haul on the N1 near Kraaifontein, on the city's outskirts. Police intercepted the Volvo truck on Saturday as it transported drugs from Johannesburg to Cape Town, in a joint operation by the flying squad and crime intelligence, according to the office of the provincial police commissioner. "Acting on intelligence received, the team spotted the truck and stopped in at a petrol station on the N1. A search was conducted and police found two duffel bags containing Madrax tablets with an estimated street value of R2 million," says provincial police spokesperson Const Ndakhe Gwala. In total 41 000 Mandrax tablets were seized and the truck driver, a 44-year-old Zimbabwean national, was arrested. The man was due to appear in the Kuils River Magistrates' Court on Monday for possession of and dealing in drugs. Rob Bisset, chair of the Tygerberg sub-district Community Police Forum, welcomed the bust, saying it prevented a significant quantity of drugs from reaching Cape Town's streets, where communities are being devastated by substance abuse.

Women urged to use influence
TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS omen across the Northern Suburbs were challenged to use their influence, networks and leadership to help shape stronger communities at a Greater Tygerberg Partnership (GTP) breakfast at Durbanville Hills on Friday 11 September. Held under the theme The Future of Cities is Female, the breakfast brought together women from business, government, academia, media, development and civic organisations. At the centre of the discussion was the GTP’s Northern Collective, an initiative founded by chief operating officer Nasmera Buckus to bring influential women across the region together around practical change. Buckus told guests that women were already playing an important role in shaping their cities through their ideas, leadership and, importantly, collective action. “The Northern Collective was created from a simple realisation that women across the northern suburbs are doing extraordinary work, but too often we do it in isolation,” she said. The aim, she said, was not to create another networking group. “It’s not simply to network. It’s to align our influence, share ideas and create opportunities.” Buckus said the collective brings women from different sectors into one space, including business, government, education, media, property development and civic organisations. Its purpose is to take the impact women are already making individually and build

on it. “Our purpose for the Northern Collective is to move from individual impact to collective momentum, connecting leadership with real opportunities for our communities, our businesses and our cities,” she said. “When women lead together, we don’t just strengthen our networks. We create better places for everyone.” The Collective already includes senior women from organisations across the northern suburbs and has begun looking at where their experience, networks and resources can make a practical difference. GTP recently took members into Bellville to see projects ranging from urban gardens and public-space improvements to recycling initiatives and support for informal traders. The organisation says the aim is to connect women in leadership positions with work already taking place on the ground, rather than keeping conversations about development inside boardrooms. COLLABORATION KEY TO GROWTH City of Cape Town Mayco member for economic growth Alderman James Vos also addressed the gathering. Vos has backed the Northern Collective as a way of bringing different perspectives into conversations about the future of Bellville and the wider northern suburbs.
Dr Shirley Zinn addressed the Greater Tygerberg Partnership breakfast at Durbanville Hills, where women leaders were encouraged to use their influence, networks and leadership to create opportunities and strengthen communities across the Northern Suburbs. PHOTO: TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS
He said diverse leadership was about more than representation. Bringing women from business, government, academia and civil society together could build stronger partnerships, challenge established thinking and contribute towards more inclusive economic growth. “Cities thrive when leadership is collaborative, not siloed,” Vos said in recent comments on the initiative. He said different perspectives around a shared vision could open opportunities for businesses, strengthen communities and help create places where people want to live, work and invest. The GTP works with the City, businesses and other partners on urban regeneration and economic development in Bellville and surrounding areas.
Its work ranges from investment and small-business support to publicspace projects and initiatives aimed at strengthening communities. Buckus said the Northern Collective was built on the same approach. Women in leadership positions, she said, already solve problems and manage organisations every day. Bringing those women together creates an opportunity to ask what more can be achieved when they stop working in isolation. The breakfast also featured business leader Dr Shirley Zinn, who spoke about leadership, purpose and women creating opportunities for others. Leadership, she said, should result in action that makes a tangible difference to businesses, communities and the places people call home.
Bellville youth take to the field this Heritage Day TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS Young people from across Bellville will take to the field this Heritage Day as the Bellville Youth Crime Prevention Desk (BYCPD) hosts a community sports day at the Bellville Sports Complex. BYCPD chairperson Davian ver Neel says the event, on Thursday 24 September, will feature five-a-side soccer, netball and tug-of-war, with hundreds of young people expected to take part.
It follows the BYCPD’s Youth Day tournament in June, which drew more than 500 participants. According to Bellville police spokesperson, Sgt Charles Neelse, the sports programme was launched in 2025 as part of efforts to create structured activities for young people and strengthen ties between communities, local businesses, police and other partners. This year’s Heritage Day event is
expected to include 15 soccer teams, five netball teams and eight tug-of-war teams. The programme is supported by the BYCPD, Bellville SAPS and several community and corporate partners. OK Foods The Wynne and Red Bull are among the sponsors. Organisers are also calling on more businesses and organisations to get involved through sponsorships or other contributions as the programme grows.
Businesses interested in supporting the initiative can contact Van Neel and Sergeant Neelse on 061 406 0351, or Dr Abdulhakim Husein at the Somali Association of South Africa directly to discuss how they can get involved. The Bellville Heritage Day Sports Day will run from 09:00 to 18:00 at the Bellville Sports Complex. Residents are encouraged to support the teams and join the Heritage Day activities.

Eversdal vier 50 jaar met skenkings TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS ie Laerskool Eversdal het sy 50ste bestaansjaar in ’n geskenk aan die gemeenskap omgeskep deur R358 500 vir 50 organisasies in te samel. Die skool het aanvanklik gehoop om R5 000 aan elk van die organisasies te skenk – een vir elke jaar van sy bestaan. Die Eversdal-gemeenskap het dié mikpunt egter verbygesteek, met elke begunstigde wat uiteindelik R7 170 ontvang het. Die geldinsameling het deel gevorm van die skool se Damus-projek, ’n tradisie wat reeds sedert 1976 deel van die skool se geskiedenis is. Vanjaar se 48ste Damus-aand is op Donderdag 27 Augustus gehou en het ’n besondere betekenis as deel van die skool se 50ste bestaansjaar gekry. Volgens Salomina du Plessis, die organiseerder van die geldinsameling, wou die skool hê die mylpaal moes oor meer as net sy eie geskiedenis gaan. “Ons het van die begin af gevoel die Laerskool Eversdal se 50ste bestaansjaar moet oor meer as net ons eie vieringe gaan. Dit moes ook ’n geleentheid wees om ons leuse, ‘Ons gee’, op ’n tasbare manier uit te leef,” sê sy. Sy sê die ondersteuning van ouers, personeel en die breër gemeenskap het die projek verder geneem as wat hulle aanvanklik verwag het.
D
’N TRADISIE WAT GESLAGTE VERBIND Damus het oor bykans vyf dekades ’n vaste instelling by die Laerskool Eversdal geword. Baie van die speletjies wat vandag nog tydens die geleentheid gespeel word, het deur die jare onveranderd gebly. Dit beteken huidige leerders kan dieselfde speletjies geniet wat hul ouers en vorige geslagte Eversdal-leerders jare gelede gespeel het.
DIT IS WAT GEBEUR WANNEER ’N GEMEENSKAP RONDOM DIESELFDE DOEL SAAMSTAAN
Leerders en personeel van die Laerskool Eversdal vier die sukses van vanjaar se Damus-projek, waarmee meer as R358 000 ingesamel is om 50 organisasies as deel van die skool se 50ste bestaansjaar te ondersteun.
Die jaarlikse aand bring leerders, ouers, oud-leerders, families en ander inwoners bymekaar vir speletjies, kos en gemeenskapsaktiwiteite. Vanjaar se Damus was die hoogtepunt van ’n groter Augustus-veldtog met dankbaarheid as tema. In die 25 dae voor die geleentheid het die skool elke dag twee van die 50 begunstigde organisasies op sy sosialemediaplatforms bekend gestel. Du Plessis sê die doel was nie bloot om geld in te samel nie. “Die geld wat ons aan die organisasies kon skenk, is natuurlik baie belangrik, maar ons wou ook vir hulle ’n platform gee. Ons wou hê ons skoolgemeenskap moes kennis maak met die mense en organisasies wat elke dag, dikwels stilweg, ’n enorme verskil in ander se lewe maak.” Die begunstigdes werk almal op verskillende maniere met kinders, gesinne en kwesbare gemeenskappe.

Public input needed on electricity market plan Eskom may lose its energy monopoly if a new paper by the Department of Electricity and Energy paper is approved. The position paper, which the department opened for comment last week, sets out government’s plan to transform the electricity sector and one of the strategies it proposes is a competitive wholesale electricity market where customers can choose who they buy from. Minister of Electricity and Energy Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa published the document for public comment on August 21. SOME POINTS OF NOTE The document acknowledges that over the past two decades the sector has faced “a lack of adequate and reliable generating capacity”. It says government interventions have helped to “successfully resolve the most recent load shedding crisis”, but adds that “further structural transformations are essential”. For households that have solar panels or are considering going off the grid, the document says they
“will not have to pay any system charges”. However, “those that rely on the grid for some power or want to sell their excess energy will be required to pay network charges”. The document also recognises small-scale power generators connected to local distribution networks as part of the future market, though a minimum size threshold for participation will be set at a later stage. The document places strong emphasis on reducing the carbon emissions from electricity generation. HOW TO COMMENT Comments must be submitted by September 20. Comments can be sent by post to Private Bag X 96, Pretoria 0001 or emailed to EMTPP.Queries@ dee.gov.za. Comments must be addressed to the Director-General of the Department of Electricity and Energy, marked for the attention of Ms Vusani Ramuntshi. Submissions should include the name, address, contact telephone number, fax number and email address of the person or organisation commenting.
HELE GEMEENSKAP DRA BY Die R358 500 is deur ’n gesamentlike poging ingesamel. Ouers en voogde het onder meer produkte, tyd en vaardighede beskikbaar gestel, terwyl personeel die projek gereël en aangebied het. Leerders het ook deelgeneem en die breër gemeenskap het die Damus-aand ondersteun. Die skoolhoof, Gys Burger, sê die projek weerspieël die waardes wat die skool by sy leerders wil vestig. “Ons is ongelooflik trots op wat ons skoolgemeenskap bereik het,” sê Burger. “Ons wil hê ons leerders moet verstaan dat sukses nie net gemeet word aan wat jy bereik nie, maar ook aan wat jy bereid is om vir ander te beteken.” Volgens hom speel omgee, deernis, diensbaarheid en vrygewigheid ’n belangrike rol in die mense wat die skool hoop sy leerders sal word. Die geldinsameling kom boonop op ’n tyd waarin openbare skole self toenemende
finansiële druk ervaar. Burger sê dit maak die gemeenskap se bereidwilligheid om organisasies buite die skool te ondersteun, des te meer betekenisvol. “Elke bydrae, elke uur se werk, elke produk wat geskenk is en elke mens wat Damus ondersteun het, het deel hiervan geword,” sê hy. “Dit is wat gebeur wanneer ’n gemeenskap rondom ’n gemeenskaplike doel saamstaan.” Du Plessis sê die bedrag vertel net ’n deel van die verhaal. “Agter die R358 500 is soveel mense wat bereid was om te gee. Ons ouers, voogde en personeel het ongelooflik hard gewerk en ons gemeenskap het ons met ope arms ondersteun.” Vir die Laerskool Eversdal het sy 50ste verjaardag só nie net ’n terugblik op vyf dekades geword nie, maar ook ’n geleentheid om sy leuse, “Ons gee”, prakties uit te leef.

STER-KINEKOR WYS ‘LIEFDE IS ROOI’ AS DEEL VAN ERFENISMAANDPROGRAM
Die akteurs wat te sien is in die fliek Liefde is Rooi, wat van 24 September af op die grootskerm wys.
Hartzenberg se nuwe fliek draai eersdaags
E
nrico Hartzenberg se nuutste rolprent, Liefde is Rooi, sal van Donderdag 24 September in sekere Ster-Kinekor-teaters as deel van ’n Erfenismaand-program vertoon word. Die rolprent is ’n verwerking van die eerste professionele verhoogstuk deur Hartzenberg, wat in Sarepta, Kuilsrivier, grootgeword het. Die stuk was in 2018 by die Stellenbosch Woordfees op die planke en het hom ’n feesbenoeming vir Beste opkomende kunstenaar besorg. Hartzenberg het die skermweergawe onafhanklik gefinansier en deur sy produksiemaatskappy Hartzenberg Films vervaardig. “Liefde is Rooi is so persoonlik vir my,” het Hartzenberg gesê. “Die storie het na my toe gekom toe ek op die rand van my ouma se bed gesit en saam met haar tee gedrink het. Sy het my eerste tweedehandse laptop vir my gegee en al wat ek kon sien, was ’n jong seun wat sy twee susters van ’n generasievloek probeer red.” GEHEIME EN GEHEUE Liefde is Rooi gaan oor ’n familieraaisel wat die rouproses, herinneringe en vergete geheime ondersoek. Die fliek volg Prudence, die jongste van drie broers en susters, wie se wêreld deur die skielike dood van haar ouers op sy kop gekeer word. Terwyl
die familie hul verlies verwerk, raak Prudence onrustig oor haar broer James, wat waarsku “grief doen slegte dinge aan die memory”. Sy begin in die familie se verlede delf en word gedwing om te vra wat sy onthou en wat aan haar vertel is. Die rolverdeling sluit Meggan-Lee Johnstone, bekend vir haar werk in Netflix se Blood & Water, Sanchia Davids, wat as Miss Thursday in Netflix se One Piece verskyn het, en Joshua Vraagom, wat in Noem My Skollie gespeel het, in. Die gesoute akteurs Abduragman Adams en Lee-Ann van Rooi verskyn ook. Nuwelinge wat hul buiging maak, sluit in Ameer Noordien (in die musiekwêreld bekend as Young OG CPT), Terriano Duimpies (Temple Boys), Diego Adams en Fiki Orzim. Ethan Patton, wat in Noem My Skollie as Bompie verskyn het, is ook te sien. VERTONINGS Die rolprent word as deel van die Liefde is Rooi-antologie gewys wat met My Best Friend open. Die vrystelling volg op Hartzenberg Films se vorige Heart & Hustle-antologie by Ster-Kinekor, waar verskeie vertonings uitverkoop was. Die fliek draai van 24 September af by Ster-Kinekor-teaters by onder meer in N1 Stad en CapeGate.

Audience has a say in whether Chester’s Got Talent Ventriloquist Conrad Koch is bringing his new show Chester’s Got Talent to Die Boer theatre in Durbanville on Thursday 24 September at 20:30. At the centre of the show is a live puppet talent competition where audiences get to decide what they think of Chester and his fellow performers. They can react, judge and have their say as each puppet takes to the stage. South Africa’s most outspoken puppet has never been particularly good at following instructions, and he certainly isn’t about to start now. Joining Chester are a cast of hilariously deranged dummies, including: Gunter the German Mosquito, showing off his questionable xylophone skills; Hilton the Ostrich, a dramatic bird attempting to make his mark as a singer; DJ Hoodie, the puppet who actually DJs; Mr Dixon, a high school teacher who thinks he can outdo Koch at ventriloquism; and Paul die Krokodil. “Chester’s Got Talent is basically what happens when your puppets stop listening to you,” says Koch. “The audience gets to be the judges, so they’re not just sitting back and watching the show, they’re part of it. You never quite know what they’re going to say or what Chester is going to do with it.” Chester, however, has his own view of the situation. “I am obviously the star,” he says. “Conrad is just the guy holding me.” Rather than focusing on politics or heavy subject matter, the show is a chance to switch off, have a

Desalination plant faces five-year delay KAILIN DANIELS
P
KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA
lans for a permanent desalination plant have suffered a major setback, with the project now facing a possible five-year delay after Transnet indicated it needs the proposed Paarden Eiland site for the expansion of the Port of Cape Town. The City is now searching for an alternative location for the plant. The latest Water
Outlook report indicates that finding a suitable replacement site and restarting the required environmental assessment process could push the project back by about five years. The permanent plant is now expected to become operational only around 2036. Cape Town’s combined major dam storage level stood at 75.4% as of early September 2026, with Theewaterskloof Dam at 76%, Berg River Dam at 91%,
Proposed location of the Paarden Eiland desalination plant.
TRANSNET SAYS IT NEEDS PROPOSED SITE FOR PORT EXPANSION PUSHING CITY’S PLANS OUT TO 2036 Wemmershoek Dam at 90%, Voëlvlei Dam at 59%, Steenbras Upper at 84% and Steenbras Lower at 49%. TRANSNET FORCES SITE RETHINK On 21 August Mayco member for Water and Sanitation Zahid Badroodien told council the City was investigating “alternative locations” for the proposed plant. The Paarden Eiland site had already progressed through the scoping phase of its environmental-impact assessment, meaning the City will now have to identify another suitable location and undertake further environmental work. The delay comes as Cape Town’s water demand continues to increase. The City of Cape Town Water Outlook report shows no immediate threat to water supply, but increasing
demand and lower year-onyear dam levels mean water restrictions have not been ruled out. According to the latest Water Outlook the city could reach its maximum allocation from the Western Cape’s major supply dams within the next two years. The dams also supply other municipalities and agriculture, meaning Cape Town cannot rely on all the water stored in the system. The City’s current rate of water-demand growth has been described as unsustainable, adding urgency to efforts to bring alternative water sources online. While the city is not currently facing an immediate Day Zero scenario, officials have warned that growing consumption and a drier-than-usual season are putting pressure on available supplies.
CITY REMAINS COMMITTED TO DESALINATION Despite the setback, Badroodien said the City remained committed to developing a permanent desalination plant as part of a diversified approach to water security. “We are committed to advancing our water security by developing a permanent desalination plant, among all other interventions which comprise the New Water Programme,” he said previously. He said the City was drawing on a range of expertise and exploring different implementation options to ensure that future watertreatment technologies meet safety, technical and regulatory standards. The proposed plant had been expected to produce between 50 million and 70 million litres of water daily and was originally part of the City’s strategy to increase new water production by 2030.
CapeNature Access Week to City calls on ECD sector to help shape priorities at four regional conversations offer free entry at reserves Western Cape residents are being encouraged to explore the province’s natural heritage during CapeNature’s 12th annual Access Week, when general dayvisitor fees will be waived from 19 to 25 September. FREE ACCESS Held under the theme “Nature is for Everyone”, CapeNature’s annual campaign will offer free walk-in entry to participating reserves for day visitors. The waiver covers general day-visitor fees for activities including hiking, mountain biking, birdwatching and picnics, the provincial government said. Free access will be available to walkin day visitors at participating reserves across the Western Cape.
. . . .
PARTICIPATING RESERVES BY REGION West Coast: Groot Winterhoek, Bird Island and Rocherpan; Central: Kogelberg, Hottentots Holland, Jonkershoek, Assegaaibosch, Limietberg and Stony Point; South: Walker Bay, De Mond, De Hoop, Marloth, Grootvadersbosch, Geelkrans and Vrolijkheid; Garden Route: Robberg, Keurbooms River, Goukamma and Outeniqua;
.
Karoo: Swartberg, Gamkaberg and Anysberg. BUILDING ON LAST YEAR’S CAMPAIGN The government said this year’s initiative builds on the track record established during the 11th Access Week in 2025, when 9 543 visitors enjoyed free entry. During last year’s campaign, CapeNature also hosted 16 facilitated community programmes across 13 Western Cape areas, including Lavender Hill, Mamre, Chatsworth, Lamberts Bay and Oudtshoorn. The programmes introduced youth groups, schools and special needs groups to protected natural spaces. “CapeNature’s Access Week plays a vital role in breaking down financial barriers and ensuring that our protected natural areas are inclusive and welcoming to all,” said Dave Bryant, provincial spokesperson on Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning. After this year’s initiative concludes, the DA will submit a written parliamentary question to the Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning. The question will monitor total visitor turnout and the overall impact of the 12th Access Week.
The City of Cape Town has announced four regional Early Childhood Development (ECD) conversations in October to help guide the City’s priorities for the sector. The Community, Arts and Culture Development Department will host the conversations, which are open to ECD practitioners, principals, nongovernmental organisations (NGOs), government departments and sector partners.
DIRECT ENGAGEMENT Participants will be able to engage directly on regional challenges, identify solutions and contribute towards the City’s annual ECD programme priorities and strategic plan. The four conversations will culminate in the annual City of Cape Town ECD Indaba, announced for 2027, which will consolidate recommendations from all four engagements into a City-wide action plan. BUILDING ON PREVIOUS INDABAS The department hosts compliance drives and roadshows in communities throughout the year to engage the ECD sector on their journey to compliance. The conversations build on three previous ECD Indabas. “Most of a child’s development occurs
before age of five and by investing in the sector, we are helping to shape cognitive abilities, emotional health and ensure future academic success,” said the City’s Mayco member for community services and health, Francine Higham. “Previous indabas focused on supporting and training ECD operators, and with the upcoming conversations, we hope to create a platform for them to influence policy and service delivery. We’re enabling conversations around what they need and how we can work together towards solutions.”
DATES AND VENUES The conversations will take place from 08:30 to 15:30 at: Parow Civic Centre, Thursday 8 October; Brackenfell Civic Centre, Monday 12 October; Sarepta Community Hall, Wednesday 21 October; and Retreat Civic Centre, Tuesday 27 October.

THINKING OUT LOUD
Municipalities adding 16% profit to your electricity bill Recently at the office, I received a message on my phone from my Fungi application — it’s time to load money for electricity again. From the conversation that followed with colleagues, it appears everyone has suddenly become several hundred rands worse off within a year. Some as much as R1 000 on their electricity bills. Then there are those who still receive a traditional electricity bill, on which astronomical amounts are simply loaded out of the blue. And to sort it out is nearly impossible. Meanwhile, you just have to pay, or the municipality will simply cut you off. The annual tug-of-war between Eskom and the price regulator, Nersa, leaves consumers increasingly cold. This, usually accompanied by talk that our electricity is actually still cheap. That’s why it remains sensible for those who can afford it to increasingly replace electricity consumption with self-sufficiency, for example through solar panels. The big snake in the grass, however, is profit-taking by metro councils and municipalities. On average, they load about 16% profit onto the consumer’s electricity bill. Some of the councils, which are notorious for poor management, wasteful spending and corruption, make up to a third of their income from electricity. It is time that serious questions are asked about this. The campaign for the local election is the ideal opportunity for voters to place this
..
LOCAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD ... BE ABOUT SERVICE DELIVERY
..
on the agenda. Local government should in any case not be about party politics, but rather about service delivery. Ask your local candidates what their policy is on the cost of your electricity bill. Tell them that, rather than blue, yellow or green pamphlets with photos and old promises, this will determine your vote. Electricity bills should in principle be for electricity consumption. Other services must be handled according to a clear and accountable cost scale. Transparent and separate. Too large salary bills, too expensive vehicles, excessive entertainment and catering bills, and then the notorious tenders become too tasty a gravy train from our electricity bills. On top of that, we get no value for money — the overall state of service delivery speaks for itself. Most voters don’t get meals at work. They must pack their own sandwich or buy something at the work canteen, or elsewhere. Tshwane and Cape Town have already scrapped meals for general council meetings. They can easily go further and make sure this applies to all committee sittings as well. This is just one example of how a general and undefined profit levy on electricity bills can be abused. The number of councillors and duplicated functions with other government levels are further issues that need attention. The number of officials versus value in outputs is another issue. Candidate who make themselves available to become councillors should be informed about these matters. So, armed with a plan on how to reduce profit-taking on our electricity bills, wait for them with your electricity bill and get their position on record. Candidates who have voters’ interests at heart will show this through meaningful solutions. The time for everyone to get their backs up about this is now. — BARNARD BEUKMAN (editor of the Afrikaans weekly newspaper, DIE PAPIER.)

Animal bylaw flawed and not applied fairly The Draft Animal Bylaw has already sparked widespread and valid public criticism. The reality is that the majority of animal and pet owners maintain their animals to a high standard of care and are not dependent on welfare organisations. In fact, many owners actively support and donate to welfare initiatives. When compared to the broader pet–keeping community, welfare statistics represent only a small fraction of the overall picture. Yet, the
motivations presented by the CoCT suggest that animal welfare organisations have proportionately influenced the drafting of this bylaw. Breed associations, clubs, and other key stakeholders were not consulted, while welfare groups appear to have been the primary voices engaged. It is also publicly acknowledged that enforcement of existing laws is inconsistent. For example, livestock roaming freely in Kuils River and along the N2 pose a
Sal dit nie beter wees om ander diere-instellings te finansier nie? My vraag oor die nuwe diere-verordening wat die Stad Kaapstad wil instel – sou dit nie beter wees om die DBV en Cape Wildlife beter te finansier nie? Ek het gister ’n grysduiker hier by Bracken Gate 2 in Cecil Morganstraat gevang. Ons het die duikertjie vasgebind en die DBV se afdeling vir wilde diere gekontak. Ongelukkig is hulle so besig en onderfinansier dat hulle nie dadelik kon uitkom nie. Ek het besluit om hom – vir die dier se welstand – uit die gebied te neem na my woning oorkant die pad in Sonkring, waar daar minder verkeer is en ek hom kon losmaak sodat hy in my agtertuin kon rustig word.
Die DBV het my later laat weet ek kan hom na TAH Bellville neem vir verdowing en stabilisering. Ek het toe maar deur die loop van die aand met TAH in kontak gebly en die DBV kon toe die duikertjie omstreeks 21:00 neem. Neem ook in ag ek het die Stad Kaapstad ook gebel, ’n verwysingsnommer gekry en tot nou toe niks verder [gehoor] nie. Wat regtig aan my vreet, is dat hierdie nuwe verordeninge net geleentheid vir korrupsie gaan skep. Ek verstaan dis om dinge soos hondegevegte te voorkom, maar om gewone mense soos ek met twee angstige hondjies te straf, is onaanvaarbaar. BRENDON VILJOEN, Brackenfell
Now is the time to think differently about how you use water resources Premier Alan Winde recently issued what he called a “call to action”, urging Western Cape residents to prepare for a hotter, drier summer driven by a particularly strong El Niño cycle. We would do well to listen. The province has allocated R12 million for the upcoming fire season, which has already started earlier than expected, with a wildfire reported in the Cape Winelands in late August. While dam levels may look acceptable on paper, the Premier rightly cautioned that the severe flooding in May does not mean we received enough rain to secure our water resources through summer. El Niño brings warmer-than-normal temperatures and below-average rainfall. If it lingers for six to nine months, as
experts warn it could, we could find ourselves in a precarious position. This is not a time for complacency. We have been here before. We know what nearing day zero felt like, and we know what it took to pull back from the brink. The Premier's warning should not be filed away as another government press release. It is a heads-up from a man who has seen the modelling and does not like what it shows. Now is the time to start thinking differently about water use, to clear vegetation around properties in fire-risk areas, and to take seriously the simple measures that could make a real difference when the heat arrives. MINDFUL RESIDENT, Durbanville
serious danger to motorists, yet these animals are not impounded. This selective enforcement undermines confidence in the fairness of regulation. Stakeholders are now permitted only to “comment” rather than to meaningfully participate in shaping the bylaw. That is not democracy. True democratic process requires consultation, equal treatment, and the inclusion of all affected parties in decision making. WEHAHN GELDENHUYS, Brackenfell
CoCT’s animal bylaw not designed to aid animals I am shocked to see a heavily redacted and slanted version of the proposed animal keeping bylaw published in the media. This is clearly a version of the proposed bylaw put out by the City of Cape Town’s PR department. This proposed bylaw is impossible to implement in the townships as we have seen during the last 20 years where animal welfare is left completely in the hands of public donations and volunteers. The article makes no mention of the proposed bylaw giving the City the right to raid our homes without a warrant, to confiscate pets, to charge a permit fee for every pet, to make regular rabies vaccination mandatory. And to impose jail time for not complying. This proposed by law is not designed to aid animals. CONCERNED ANIMAL WELFARE VOLUNTEER, Durbanville
Walk down Dolphin Beach and see the poo I am reading that the Table View beach project is near completion. Well, the newly paved area near Dolphin Beach needs urgent attention. There are half a dozen areas where the bricks have dropped. I showed this to one of the workmen there, while we walked the path. Nothing has been done, a month later! To the City of Cape Town project management, get Eddie Andrews to walk along that path. The vast amounts of dog poo is another problem, most people seem not to bother. So the sunken bricks and dog excrement is a serious matter. P MARAIS, Email

A
uthor, writing facilitator and mentor Rita Swanepoel has been honoured at the 2026 Western Cape Cultural Awards, receiving an award for her contribution to the literary arts. Swanepoel has worked across several forms of writing, including prose, short stories, essays, theatre and radio drama. She made her literary debut in 1996 with the novella Missis Victoria, which won the Kwela Publishers, Engen and NNTV Writing Competition. Her radio dramas Poppespel and Grensgeval were later selected as finalists in the RSG/Sanlam Radio Drama Competition. MENTORSHIP Her commitment to developing other writers has become an equally important part of her literary contribution. Since 2013 she has facilitated writing and drama workshops within correctional services, using storytelling, mentorship and creative expression as tools for development. Closer to home, Swanepoel heads a writers’ group at Durbanville Library. It was through the library and this shared passion for developing people through reading and writing that her path crossed with City of Cape Town Library and Information Services Area head, René Walker. NOMINATION Walker witnessed Swanepoel’s commitment to creating opportunities for aspiring writers and subsequently nominated her for recognition at the Western Cape Cultural Awards. “Rita has never made writing only about herself,” said Walker. “What stood out for me was her ability to see a writer in someone who might not yet see it in themselves. She creates the opportunity, provides the guidance and then encourages people to believe that their story is worth telling. That is why I felt so strongly that her contribution deserved to be recognised.” That philosophy was at the heart of Swanepoel’s Haar Verhaal van Krag writing initiative. With funding from the National Arts Council, Swanepoel facilitated writing workshops at Melton Rose, Eerste River, Bellville and Sir Lowry’s Pass libraries, creating opportunities for women to learn the craft of storytelling and transform their own experiences into written narratives. The workshops explored stories shaped by real life — including experiences of loss, poverty, family, hardship, courage and hope — while participants developed their writing through mentoring, discussion, rewriting and feedback.
Rita Swanepoel and René Walker.
RITA SWANEPOEL HONOURED FOR CONTRIBUTION TO LITERARY ARTS For many, the greatest transformation was confidence: women who initially did not regard themselves as writers began discussing manuscripts, editing their work and encouraging one another as fellow writers. The journey ultimately moved beyond the workshop tables and onto the printed page. Contributions from women who participated in the workshops, including those held at Bellville Library, formed part of the published anthology Haar Verhaal van Krag. The publication gave emerging writers the opportunity to see their own stories in print and ensured that the voices developed through the project could reach a much wider audience. Swanepoel’s own literary journey continues alongside her work developing others. Her writing has appeared in publications and collections over many years, while her creative work has also extended to the stage and radio. In 2025, her proposal for the staged-reading production Begrafniskos was selected for Artscape’s New Voices Call for Proposals and subsequently performed at Artscape. For Walker, seeing Swanepoel walk onto the Cultural Awards stage was therefore about much more than one project. “I nominated Rita because I had seen the ripple effect of what she does,” Walker said. “From the writers’ group at Durbanville Library to women sitting around tables in our libraries discovering their voices, her passion travels with her. Seeing Haar Verhaal van Krag published was already something worth celebrating.”
Free online learning hub for businesses launched The Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry has launched a new Enterprise Development Hub, a growing collection of free, practical short courses to help people and organisations develop their skills. The online courses cover a range of topics, from finding your first clients to using artificial intelligence in business. They are aimed at people running their own businesses, employees of large companies, and organisations that are not businesses. “It’s a growing library of free, practical micro-courses designed to help people and organisations build their capabilities,” said Robyn Border from the Chamber. Border said there are two ways to benefit from the hub. The first is to use the courses to improve your own skills and those of your team, so your organisation can grow. People are encouraged to share the hub with others, as the more people who benefit, the better. “When people and organisations build their capabilities, our regional economy grows stronger,” said Border.
The second way is available to chamber members only. Members who have useful knowledge or experience can create a short course for the hub. While the hub is not a place to advertise, sharing expertise is a form of exposure, Border said. When people find the knowledge useful, they will know where to turn if they need further help. “When employees, entrepreneurs or those in public service grow their capabilities and as a result grow and improve their organisations, our regional economy strengthens,” she said. The Chamber also continues to offer live online seminars and in-person training to both members and non-members. Border said live training offers something the online courses cannot. “While knowledge is freely available, wisdom is not. The ability of trained experts to tailor that knowledge to your organisation’s needs in an interactive way, is what sets our live training sessions apart.” You can access the hub at https://www. worldclasscities.org/pages/capechamber

Fairmont High marks 49 years TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS Fairmont High School marked its 49th anniversary this month, celebrating almost five decades of education in Durbanville while turning its attention to its 50th birthday next year. The anniversary celebrations started on 3 September and continued into the weekend. Principal Mari Schnehage said reaching 49 years showed the school’s continued role in providing quality education. Schnehage said many former Monties had gone on to make significant contributions to society. RICH HISTORY Fairmont opened in 1977 as Eversdal English Medium School under founding principal Clive Wigg. It started with 330 pupils and 17 teachers. The hall was still under construction, the sports fields were incomplete and the upper floor was not yet in use. The school was renamed Fairmont High School at the end of its first year. Today it has about 1 500 learners. This year’s anniversary programme included cultural performances, interhouse competitions and a look back at the school’s history. Fairmont also introduced the Monty Sunrise. Learners, staff and families gathered early in the morning to watch the sun rise and remember the generations that came before them. Schnehage described it as a moment of “gratitude, quiet reflection and hope for the future of Fairmont”. The school also remembered those it has lost over the years, including two principals who died while still in office. Planning has already started for Fairmont’s golden jubilee. Schnehage said the school wants the
milestone to recognise its academic, cultural and sporting achievements while also acknowledging difficult periods in its recent history. “The past few years were difficult years for the staff and learners, but they kept going to ensure the school stays focused,” she said. “As we are entering a new season, we would like to celebrate overcoming difficult times, honouring those before us and step into the future.” Fairmont also wants to reconnect with former pupils as the 50th anniversary approaches. Several activities are being planned, with parents and past pupils expected to be invited to take part. For Schnehage, who was appointed principal in July, leading the school into the milestone year has personal significance. She previously worked at Fairmont under principals Mrs Liz Muller, Mr Ron Dingley and Mr Leon Erasmus and met founding principal Wigg on several occasions. “Each one of them has made an impression on me, each with their own style and personality,” she said. “To follow in their footsteps is an honour to me.” Schnehage said the support she had received since her appointment had been humbling. While education continues to change, she believes the foundations of a good school remain the same. “The common thread in successful schools is a strong value system. This is the foundation and the rest will follow,” she said. “Fairmont has a huge amount of potential to build on that which is already established and grow more. With positive attitudes, together we can ‘Stand Fast’.”

EVERSDAL CROWNED AS CHAMPS Eversdal Primary School’s mountain bike team was crowned as the Western Cape Cycling League champions.
WALKING COMMUNITY FUN DAY
Legends unite for friend
S
occer legends from across the Western Cape showed they can still teach the young ones how it is done at the Walking Community Fun Day on Sunday 13 September in Belgravia. The event, a fundraiser to assist soccer legend Farouk Abraham with his cancer treatment, was organised in collaboration with Farouk Abrahams Goalkeeper Academy, Football Kings and Walking Football Cape Town, amongst others. A total of 16 soccer teams participated in the five-aside event and represented families, businesses, ex-clubs and community organisations. The teams were Santos, Hellenic, Battswood, Cape Town Spurs, Glendene, Wynberg St. Johns, Walking for health, Gladiators, Simply the Best, Davids Family, Adams Family, Walking Football Cape Town Elders, Hammertime, Kuils River, Play sport 4 Life, Astro Paints, Schaapkraal Warriors, Federation Legends, Duncan Crowie Legends and All Star Legends. FUN FAMILY DAY
FOOD STALLS SOLD KOESISTERS, LAMB AKHNI AND BOEREWORS ROLLS
Food stalls sold koesisters, lamb akhni and boerewors rolls among others. For the children a tuckshop catered to all their needs as well as fun and games, under supervision, to keep them occupied. The Fun Day was really a family day in the true sense of the word as families came out to spend the day with soccer legends. The legends who were well-known in their playing days included Duncan Crowie, Nazeem Isaacs, Michael Smith, Cassiem Mohamed and Nooroedien September. In the main match Duncan Crowie Legends took on the Walking Football Cape Town Legends in a five-aside exhibition match and lost 4-1. Isaacs says they were all glad it was only a fun day and not a regular match of 90 plus minutes as the legs and the lungs were not what they used to be in their heydays.

CAPE WINELANDS BASEBALL TEAM TO PLAY IN MASTERS The Cape Winelands Masters Baseball team will be competing in this year’s National Masters Baseball Tournament taking place in Benoni, Gauteng, next month. Here are team representatives Wilbert Basson (coach) and Lance McKinnon (captain) with Trudy Winter and Kurt Winter, their new sponsor, Kit Online. The Cape Winelands Masters Baseball team was started about three years ago, says McKinnon. “We wanted to create another competitive side in the Western Cape to accommodate a vast number of players to play in the annual national tournament,” he says. Their players are from various areas across the Cape, including Kraaifontein, Brackenfell, Bloubergstrand, Maitland, Stellenbosch and Strandfontein. Kit Online is currently expanding their business to Cape Town.
