Cape Town residents stepped up to support a meaningful cause on Saturday 25 October, as the city hosted its first World Homeless Day Fun Walk, bringing awareness to homelessness while fostering community spirit

The event, organised by nonprofit organisation Mould Empower Serve (MES) in partnership with Bellville Athletic Club, drew participants together for more than just exercise The 2,5-kilometer walk served as a platform to raise awareness about homelessness in South Africa and promote the importance of responsible giving

HOMELESSNESS AWARENESS TAKES CENTRE STAGE

BUILDINGBRIDGESTHROUGHACTION

Following the walk, participants gathered for a traditional Boerewors braai and engaged in open discussions designed to foster connection, reflection, and deeper understanding of homelessness issues affecting local communities

The collaborative atmosphere encouraged meaningful conversations about how residents can make a positive impact

"This isn't just about walking," explains MES’s Lunar Magidigidi

"It's about creating a space where our community can come together, learn, and find ways to support those who need it most "

PARTOFALARGERMOVEMENT

The Cape Town event was part of MES's broader initiative, with similar fun walks taking place in other South African cities including Gqeberha and Kempton Park

This coordinated effort demonstrates a growing national awareness and commitment to addressing homelessness through community engagement

The World Homeless Day Fun Walk represents a shift toward more thoughtful, community-driven approaches to social challenges By combining physical activity with education and discussion, the event created an accessible way for Cape Town residents to engage with important social issues while building connections with their neighbours

The success of this inaugural Cape Town event suggests that residents are eager for meaningful ways to contribute to their community's wellbeing, setting a positive precedent for future awareness initiatives

Broodbome te koop aangebied

Die Wes-Kaapse tak van die Broodboomvereniging van Suid-Afrika (BVSA) hou sy jaarlikse ope dag en plantverkoping op Saterdag 8 November van 09:00 tot 15:00 in Tara, Durbanville ’n Verskeidenheid broodbome is weer vanjaar beskikbaar, terwyl ander skaars en eksotiese plante ook te koop aangebied gaan word

LEWENDEFOSSIELE

"Broodbome word dikwels lewende fossiele genoem, aangesien hulle een van die oudste oorlewende groep saadplante is wat voor die era van dinosourusse, sowat 300 miljoen jaar gelede, verskyn het

“Dit is dus 'n besondere belewenis om hierdie plante in hul natuurlike habitat te besoek, en 'n voorreg om hierdie plante en saailinge wettig te kan verkry," sê Kobus van der Walt, voorsitter van die WesKaapse tak van die BVSA

Die BVSA is ’n nie-winsgewende organisasie wat die wettige versameling en kweek van broodbome aanmoedig

Inligting soos die identifikasie, versorging en beheer van plantsiektes van broodbome word deur werksessies en tuinbesoeke met lede en die publiek gedeel

Toere word ook vir lede gereël om die plante in hul natuurlike habitat te besigtig

Broodbome word streng ingevolge wetgewing beskerm en beheer, en slegs permithouers met die nodige dokumentasie word toegelaat om broodbome te verkoop

Die verkoping is nie net vir lede van die vereniging nie, maar enige tuiskweker, ook van ander plante, is welkom om hul plante te kom verkoop teen 'n 5%-heffing op verkope

Die geld wat ingesamel word, word deur die tak aangewend vir die hou van onder meer werksessies oor broodbome

Newname,same24hourservice

After more than six decades of serving the northern suburbs community, the iconic M-KEM 24 Hour Pharmacy in Bellville is embarking on an exciting new chapter as UniCare 24/7 Trusted Health, while maintaining its commitment to providing uninterrupted health-care services to local families.

The transition, announced by founder Hylton Mallach, fondly known as Mr M, comes as part of M-KEM’s partnership with Clicks Holdings, established in 2023 For Bellville residents who have relied on the pharmacy’s roundthe-clock services for generations the change represents continuity rather than disruption

“When I first opened the doors of M-KEM in 1964 my dream was simple, to create a pharmacy that puts people first,” reflected Mallach, whose vision has served countless northern suburbs families through medical emergencies, late-night needs and everyday health-care requirements

He no longer serves as the owner of M-KEM as the Clicks Group has been the owner since 2023

The pharmacy made history in the Western Cape when it pioneered 24-hour pharmaceutical services “In 1999 M-KEM became one of the first pharmacies in South Africa to be open 24 hours a day, ensuring care was always available, day or night,” Mallach noted, a service that has

M-KEM IS NOW PART OF CLICKS HOLDINGS

become essential for Bellville and surrounding communities

COMMUNITYCORNERSTONE REMAINSUNCHANGED

For loyal customers concerned about changes to their trusted healthcare provider, Mallach offered reassurance: “What does this mean for me as a customer?

The answer is simple: everything you love about M-KEM stays exactly the same ”

The familiar faces behind the counter, the specialised clinics and the gold-standard service that has made M-KEM a community institution will continue unabated

The pharmacy’s location in Bellville remains the same as is the round-the-clock availability that has made it a lifeline for emergency medications and urgent healthcare needs continues without interruption

“Today I am honoured to share some exciting news about our future

“In 2023, M-KEM proudly became part of Clicks Holdings, and with this partnership comes the opportunity to take the very best of M-KEM and expand it further than ever before,”

Mallach explained

The rebranding to UniCare 24/7 Trusted Health represents more than just a name change; it signals the recognition of a

uniquely successful community pharmacy model that is now set to benefit other South African communities

The M-KEM approach, characterised by treating health care as personal rather than transactional, has proven so successful in Bellville that it will now serve as the template for a new network of communityfocused pharmacies nationwide

“This transition is not an ending,” Mallach emphasised, "but the continuation of a legacy, one that I am personally proud to endorse "

LOOKINGAHEADWHILE HONOURINGTHEPAST

As Bellville prepares to welcome the UniCare era the community can take pride in knowing its local pharmacy is the gold standard for community health care in South Africa

The model of care developed in the northern suburbs will now extend its reach to help other communities across the country

For Bellville residents the message is clear: while the name above the door may change the community-centred care that has defined M-KEM for 60 years continues stronger than ever under the UniCare banner

The pharmacy continues to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at its familiar Bellville location, ensuring the northern suburbs community never goes without essential health-care services

Tyd wag vir niemand

Dis weer daai tyd van die jaar wanneer almal hoop dat tyd 'n klein bietjie vinniger kan aanbeweeg

Dit was 'n lang jaar; mense is moeg en wil gaan rus

Kersfees is om die draai en die feestyd begin oor minder as 'n maand Die Kersfeesversierings is op en Michael Buble, Boney M en Mariah Carey se bekende Kersliedjies speel weer binnekort oral in elke winkelsentrum

Ek is bly dat die feestyd aangebreek het en sien baie uit daarna Maar om eerlik te wees, ek wens soms dat die tyd 'n bietjie stadiger kan stap

Ek het so baie dinge gehad wat ek graag vanjaar wou gedoen het, maar 2025 het gekom en gegaan Dalk aanstaande jaar?

Maar ek weet vir 'n feit 2026 gaan ook seker in 'n oogwink verbygaan En voor ons dit weet, is dit al weer tyd vir die Wêreldbeker-rugbytoernooi in 2027

Kommentaar // Comments

BULL FLUGTAG SOARS AGAIN: Fun,laughter and high-flying excitement filled the air

Waarom gaan die tyd so gou, wonder ek soms Ek is seker ek is nie al een wat dít wonder nie

Dit voel soos gister toe ons nog laas om die Kerstafel gesit het en crackers oopgeskiet het, geskenke oopgemaak het en as 'n familie saamgekuier het Dit voel soos gister toe ek my vrou en seuntjie 'n soentjie en drukkie gegee het en gesê het “Voorspoedige Nuwejaar” Ek kan dit nog so duidelik onthou

My seun se skooljaar in graad 2 vanjaar het ook gevlieg

Die arme klong het nog nie eens sy onderwyser gewoond geraak nie, en daar kry hy 'n nuwe een

My vrou het vanjaar studeer, en vandeesweek haar laaste eksamen afgelê Ek weet uit ervaring dat wanneer mens studeer, die tyd geneig is om nog vinniger aan te beweeg

Ek weet ek is nie al een wat 'n jaar begin met groot planne nie Ek weet baie mense stel doelwitte vir hulself aan die begin van die jaar sogenaamde Nuwejaarsvoornemens maar haal dit nie Dis doelwitte wat binne ons bereik is, maar die tyd laat ons dit net nie toe nie Dis nie omdat ons lui is nie, maar die realiteit is ons almal werk; kinders het skool, sport, huiswerk en dan is daar familie en vriende vir wie ons moet tyd maak Ons het side hustles, stokperdjies en behoort aan of een of ander buitemuurseof kerkklub wat ons tyd in beslag neem

My plan vanjaar was om by een van daai klubs aan te sluit, om verder te studeer, fiks te raak, iewers heen te reis met my gesin en eintlik net meer tyd met my vriende en familie te spandeer, veral met my seun

Ons samelewing is op 'n hasepad êrens of iewers heen, voel dit soms vir my Die hoogtepunt van baie mense se werksweek is die naweek wanneer ons vir twee dae kan afskakel, 'n vuurtjie kan aansteek, ‘n glas wyn kan drink en sport kan geniet Vir ander wat die jaar hard gewerk het en byna geen breek geneem het nie, is daai hoogtepunt die feestyd, maar selfs die feestyd vlieg in n oogwink verby Voor ons ons oë kan uitvee, is dit Junie 2026 en winter

Ek weet dat die horlosie nie aangepas kan word nie en dat dit nie kan stilstaan nie Tyd staan vir niemand stil nie

Ek wens net soms dat die tyd net klein bietjie stadiger kan beweeg Waarom? Behalwe vir dit wat ek reeds genoem het, is daar soveel dinge wat ek as ouer nog wil doen met my seun

In 'n dokumentêre program onlangs sê 'n avontuurlustige aan die aanbieder, "ons het net een lewe, en dis nog nie eers 100 jaar nie " -RICHARDROBERTS

Embrace analog to balance digital life

Regarding the letter published on 29 October, it appears that the world has moved from physical childhood slavery to mental childhood slavery Meditation tai chi hiking many sports and activities away from computers help solve this problem I am a software developer with 40 years experience I hike I meditate I do tai chi I wear a 40-year-old watch that doesn’t count steps or tell me things I really don’t need to know On my bike, I don t use a headset or bluetooth

I don’t play computer games There are loads of great board games and there is my favourite activity, being able to have an old fashioned discussion without resorting to Google to check things I asked an electrical engineer friend a question the other day He said have you asked Google? I then emailed my

question to an electrical engineering professor I know, who I studied with in 1982, and he referred me to an electronic engineer who can solve the problem

We need to have digital and analog worlds I still have an old motorcycle with an analog speedometer I dislike these new digital speedometers which my car has, and which give one zero “distance”, zero reference point I live in Milnerton If people can get groups of 10 or more people (scholars included) together, I am willing to run weekly meditation and tai chi classes

People can email me (david@mypowerstation biz) WhatsApp notifications are switched off on my phone as they distract me too much

My personal view is that these activities increase people s brain power and ability to do more and stay

Weekend events gridlock city

I think it s time to say to the City administration: Wat genoeg is, is genoeg!

There is hardly a weekend going by without some or other huge event Now we just had this "Classic Motor Race” on an extremely busy Kgosana Drive It’s been poorly planned and seriously inconvenienced probably 100 000 residents who use the affected routes to travel between work and home daily The City no doubt made millions, but won't compensate even one of the affected citizens who’s travelling time will have been longer, using more fuel or paying more for taxi fare

If it’s not a marathon, it’s a huge football game in the stadium when thousands come in their cars gridlocking the city centre for hours (Sunday 5 October) I don’t know what the authorities did during the Western Cape in 2010, I wasn’t here, but I read about parking facilities to the east of the city centre and shuttle buses If then, why not now ?

Film crews hanging around everywhere blocking some roads even during the week or there is a fun walk, or the Cape Town Carnival, or beach Pro Volleyball in Camps Bay, as if that suburb isn’t congested enough It’s become almost impossible for large

coaches to drive along Victoria road any time on any day

The cruise ship season is here again when up to a dozen coaches depart from the cruise terminal on the days a ship is docked Driving up and down Kloof Nek road is a nightmare for the drivers, while turning into it coming from the cable way station in Tafelberg road is a lesson in extreme patience

Not to forget about the CTICC, hosting thousands of conference participants regularly, causing traffic along the adjacent roads to creep along at best Cape Town’s traffic control is totally out of sync at any time in the week, the City administration is out of touch with reality and staging such huge events is pleasuring relatively few yet causing thousands of the rate paying citizens much disruption

The time is long overdue when the number of huge events must be kept to a minimum, such as the traditional ones, Tweede Nuwejaar, the Two Oceans and the Argus

Additional ones should be limited to a maximum of maybe one a month, not like now when we have almost one every weekend

‘Not a mistake’

Your article “Milnerton High parent pleads for mercy on family (TygerBurger 29 October) refers

Where was the “mercy” for the victim of your son’s bullying behaviour?

This is not some alleged activity It was captured on video for all to see!

And to dismiss deliberate behaviour as a “mistake” is ludicrous

A mistake is when you add 2 + 2 and get 5

This deliberate behaviour caused both physical and emotional harm the victim will live with for the rest of his life

While you are scared to leave your house, imagine the horror endured by the victim having to go to school every day and having to face your son's assault, physical or verbal

This is not about you

It’s about the victim, so deal with it like the victim had to deal with being beaten by a gang of cowards and thugs

What will they be getting up to once they leave school?

Jail time is the only appropriate punishment

Daar is iets eerlik aan Merlot Dis sag, maar tog kompleks, soos n goeie gesprek met n ou vriend

Geleë teen die suidelike hange van die Tygerberg, het De Grendel Wyne verlede week n juweel van n wyn onthul die De Tijger Merlot 2022

Dié wyn is meer as net n oesjaar; dis n huldeblyk aan Suid-Afrika en sy mense

De Tijger se naam spruit uit die geskiedenis van die Tygerberg-heuwel, waar die landgoed se wingerde trots oor die stad uitkyk

"Die eerste Nederlandse settelaars het die geel kolle van die inheemse renosterveld vir tierkolle aangesien, en so het die naam 'Tygerberg' ontstaan," vertel die eienaar, Sir De Villiers Graaff, by die deftige bekendstelling op die wynlandgoed "Vandag is De Grendel ‘n WWFbewaringskampioen, trots om hierdie bedreigde ekostelsel te beskerm "

De Tijger se ontstaan is onlosmakend met die lewenswerk van die keldermeester Charles Hopkins verweef een van Suid-Afrika se mees gerespekteerde wynmakers Sy filosofie was nog altyd om die grond met eerbied te behandel en die volgende generasie wynmakers te begelei Sedert hy in 2005 aan die stuur van De Grendel se kelder staan, kombineer hy tegniese presisie met ‘n fyn aanvoeling en ervaring Hoewel sommige wynliefhebbers dikwels verby merlot op die rakke kyk, het Hopkins en die wynmaker Morgan Steyn

DIÉ WYN IS MEER AS NET `N OESJAAR; DIS ‘N HULDEBLYK AAN SUID-AFRIKA EN SY MENSE

nog altyd in dié druif se potensiaal geglo

Die druiwe kom uit die oudste blok op die landgoed hoog teen die hange, waar die Malmesbury-skalie en kleigrond natuurlike balans bring en die seebries van die Atlantiese Oseaan die vrugte vars hou

Die 2022-oesjaar was laat, met n paar warm dae wat die wynmaker se geduld getoets het, maar die resultaat was besonders handgeoesde druiwe,

sorgvuldig gefermenteer en vir 18 maande in Franse eikehout verouder

Slegs 15 vate is gemaak, en elke bottel dra daardie gevoel van "skaarsheid"

In die glas blink De Tijger in diep robynrooi, met note van swart kersies, donker pruime en swartbessies verweef met sederhout en mokkasjokolade Die afronding is lank en vol, met ` n aanloklike nasmaak van donker sjokolade en espresso

Dié merlot vra vir iets spesiaal op die tafel Dink aan geroosterde lam, stadig gestoofde beesribbetjies of eend met ‘n bessiesous

Glans Of, as jy verkies, ‘n bordjie verouderde cheddar en ‘n stukkie donker sjokolade

Dis 'n wyn wat nóú al lekker is, maar wat met gemak ‘n dekade kan verouder, sê kenners

Volgens Hopkins was daar lank ’n behoefte aan ’n Suid-Afrikaanse merlot met meer “gewig, rypheid en verouderingspotensiaal ” De Tijger voldoen hieraan, maar sonder om sy oorspronklike karakter te verloor “Suid-Afrika ontdek steeds sy merlotstorie,” meen Hopkins “Ons wil hê De Grendel moet deel wees van die skryf van daardie storie en om te bewys dat merlot hier net so gewaagd kan wees as in enige plek in die wêreld ”

Slegs 4 500 bottels van die De Tijger Merlot 2022 is gemaak, en is teen R350 by www degrendel co za, die De Grendelproelokaal en -restaurant, of landswyd via Meridian te koop

ACCLAIM

Gregory Porter, a New Yorker, is easily recognised by his signature cap and “deep booming baritone” voice He is often likened to legends such as Nat King Cole Donny Hathaway and Bill Withers for his smooth, soulful sound, blending jazz, gospel, soul and blues.

He enjoys acclaim across the world, achieving critical and commercial success everywhere from his native US to Europe, the UK and Africa. After performing at the Joy of Jazz Festival in 2014 and 2015, Porter returned to South Africa in 2023 for six sold-out solo concerts.

He calls his Love is King SA 2025 Tour “a continued celebration of the incredible people of this nation, also recently posting on his social media: “South Africa, I'm so excited to be returning to your beautiful country this November!” .

i) The valuation of the capital asset to be transferred or disposed and the method of valuation used to determine that valuation: The City’s Professional Valuers conducted a desktop valuation of the subject property on 30 January 2025, where it was estimated that the highest and best fair market value of the subject property is in the order of R55

(excluding VAT)

ii) Reasons for the proposed transfer and disposal of the asset: The proposed transfer or disposal of the site serves both an urban mobility objective as well as an economic growth imperative Based on the information provided by the Urban Mobility Directorate it has been confirmed that the targeted portion of the asset to be disposed of or transferred is the preferred location for a permanent long-distance bus terminus to serve the greater Bellville area. It has also been confirmed that this portion of the asset is underutilized and will not be required for the municipality’s own use at a later date since Recreation & Parks Department cannot use this portion for cemetery purposes

iii) Any expected benefits to the Municipality that may result from the transfer or sale

• The proposal for a mixed-use LDBT will facilitate more efficient use of the capital asset by maximizing the land use potential and intensity of the site according to highest and best use, while also be catalyzing further economic growth targeting the long-distance passenger transport sector Given Cape Town s geographical location, it is of vital importance to improve transport connectivity with the rest of Southern Africa. The objective of supporting safe and affordable domestic and international travel directly contributes to economic growth by enabling people to travel and access a wider range of opportunities such as jobs education and essential services thereby realizing the IDP objective 1 to increase jobs and investment in the Cape Town Economy

• The potential release of this site responds to IDP Programme 1 5 – The consolidated land pipeline and release programme whereby high-impact and high value land is identified and leveraged to support economic growth and job creation This is facilitated by accelerated land release of these parcels of land to test the market for a variety of mixed-use development opportunities over the next 2-10 years. The site has been valued as a high value capital asset and thus fits the profile for inclusion in this programme

• The proposed transfer of the site for a mixed-use LDBT contributes to Cape Town s regional economic infrastructure demands and facilitates the spatial transformation and integration of the city s urban structure according to the spatial vision of the 2023 MSDF and District Spatial Development Frameworks

iv) Any expected proceeds to be received by the Municipality resulting from the transfer or disposal:

The City could expect to receive a fair market value in exchange for the transfer of the capital asset with an accompanying basket of rights to allow for the development of a long-distance bus terminus and supportive mixed-use development

v) Any expected gain or loss that will be realised or incurred by the Municipality arising from the transfer or disposal: The opportunity cost of not leveraging this under-utilised strategic asset will result in long-term losses to the City of Cape Town due to land sales and on-going rates revenue foregone The City stands to gain substantial infrastructure upgrades through the payment of development charges if the development proceeds and on-going utility sales to the end users of the development The normal costs related to advertisements will be incurred by Council The purchaser will be responsible for the professional fees and development costs of the capital asset

• Revenue generation potential – In a context of dwindling financial resources, it is imperative that the City maximises all available opportunities to promote fiscal sustainability in order to deliver services and infrastructure to Capetonians.

Landloop-atlete geëer vir uitstaande prestasies

Dit was die derde jaar dat Bellville-Suid se landloop-gemeenskap byeengekom het om die uitstaande prestasies van plaaslike atlete te vier

Die toekenningsbyeenkoms, onder leiding van die afrigter Daniel van der Ventel, het 18 jong landlopers vereer wat die Westelike Provinsie (WP) in die 2024-landloopseisoen verteenwoordig het

Van die groep van meer as 30 toegewyde landlopers wat deel van die program is, het 18 atlete dit reggekry om die WPkleure te verwerf ’n merkwaardige prestasie wat die gehalte van afrigting en die atlete se toewyding demonstreer

Nege van hierdie atlete het vroeër vanjaar ’n nog groter eer behaal deur die WP-klubspan te verteenwoordig by die nasionale klubkampioenskap in Mpumalanga, terwyl twee atlete aan die nasionale landloopkampioenskap deelgeneem het

ERKENNINGPEROUDERDOMSGROEP

Die toekennings het atlete van verskeie skole in die noordelike stadsgebiede vereer:

Seuns: o 9: Trivago Kievieto (Laerskool Pinedene, Ravensmead); o 10: Sergio Plaatjies (Laerskool Winsley); o 12: Sezario Tafel (Laerskool Bellville-Suid); o 13: Jaden Gordon (Laerskool Winsley); o 14: Mekhi Hassim (Laerskool Kasselsvlei); o 15: Liam Claassen (Hoërskool DF Malan); o 16: Chrissando Vermeulen (Hoërskool Excelsior, Belhar)

Meisies: o 11: Abby Wylbach (Laerskool Winsley); o 12: Tazlyn Meiring (Laerskool Winsley); o 13: Taylor Oliphant (Laerskool Kasselsvlei)

Die sukses van die program word ondersteun deur verskeie skole wat aktief deelneem

Die afrigter, Daniel van der Ventel, het sy dankbaarheid uitgespreek teenoor die borge wat die program moontlik maak Hy bedank Protea Toyota, Top Floor Sement, Power Performance, Ekapa Drums en

Oaklands Academy & Gabriel’s House vir hul ondersteuning

BAAN-ENVELDATLETEOOKVEREER

Die baan- en veldatlete van vroeër vanjaar het ook erkenning ontvang by die geleentheid, met hul kategoriewenners wat die volgende insluit: Hoofkategorieë: Meisiesatleet van die jaar: Skyler Ford; Seunsatleet van die jaar: Cayden Barends; Kategoriewenners: Seuns o 13: Essian Kelly; Seuns o 12: Darren Christians; Deurbraakatlete: Meisiesdeurbraakatleet van die jaar: Aliyaah Gordon; Seunsdeurbraakatleet van die jaar: Elijah Collins; Spesiale erkenning: Mees getroue atleet van die jaar: Jenique Prince

VOORTGESETTEGROEI

Die jaarlikse toekenningsbyeenkoms het oor die afgelope drie jaar ’n tradisie geword wat nie net prestasies vier nie, maar ook jong atlete motiveer om na uitnemendheid te strewe

Volgens Van der Ventel, hul afrigter, is die program se sukses in die produksie van WP-verteenwoordigers uit ’n relatief klein groep atlete, ‘n getuigskrif van die gehalte-afrigting en die atlete se onwrikbare toewyding aan hul sport

“Hierdie inisiatief beklemtoon die belangrikheid van gemeenskapsondersteuning in die ontwikkeling van jong talent en vestig Bellville-Suid as ’n belangrike rolspeler in die Wes-Kaap se landloop-landskap

“Met die nuwe seisoen wat voorlê, is daar geen twyfel dat hierdie groep toegewyde atlete en hul ondersteuningspan sal voortgaan om die gemeenskap trots te maak nie,” sê Van der Ventel
