CT TIGHTENS RULES ON CIRCUS ANIMALS PAGE 2 HILL-LEWIS PRAAT OOR ONTWIKKELING Geordin Hill-Lewis, 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 in alle sektore te verseker.

CRIME STATS FOR BRACKENFELL SHOWS SURGE

Contact crimes jump 39% DESIRÉE RORKE

DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA

ontact crimes in Brackenfell surged by 39% in the first quarter, rising from 23 to 82 incidents compared to the same period last year, according to the latest official crime statistics. The figures, covering the three-month period from April to June, show no murders were reported. Common assault rose from 26 to 32 cases, assault GBH stood at eight, common robbery at 13, aggravated robbery at 21, and sexual offences at five. Trio crimes comprised two hijackings, four residential robberies and one business robbery. Property crimes remained at 141 incidents, on par with last year.

“The increase highlights the need for continued cooperation between the police and all other stakeholders.” — Norman Landry HOME BURGLARIES INCREASE Home burglaries, however, dropped by more than 50% according to police records from 53 to 25 in the threemonth period, a figure some local security role players are questioning. For context, official crime statistics show home burglaries in Brackenfell have never dipped below 50 cases in a quarter since 2022, apart from the same recording period in 2023, when 47 were reported.

Vehicle theft doubled from 15 to 30 cases, while theft from vehicles accounted for 68 incidents. Other serious crimes as reported by the community totalled 641, whereas crimes detected as a result of police action recorded only 11 drugrelated crimes, with 25 cases of driving under the influence. Commenting on the crime trends Chair for Brackenfell Community Police Forum (CPF) Norman Landry expressed concern about the increase in

contact crimes, particularly the rise in common assault. “While common assault may sometimes be viewed as a less serious offence compared to other violent crimes, every reported assault represents a victim and has an impact on the safety and wellbeing of our community,” he says. “The increase highlights the need for continued cooperation between the police and all other stakeholders within Brackenfell. “We need to understand the underlying causes of these incidents and focus not only on policing and enforcement, but also on prevention, conflict resolution and community awareness.” TO PAGE 4

Circuses in the crosshairs DESIRÉE RORKE

DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA

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. 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 COULD LEAVE LIONS AND TIGERS BEHIND

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.

Brackenfell library wins digital literacy award DESIRÉE RORKE

DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA

rackenfell Public Library has won the Digital Literacy Champion Award at this year’s Western Cape Cultural Affairs Awards. The award recognised champion Lonwabo Mabele and the library’s efforts to provide resources for children to embrace modern technology, while also fostering a lifelong love of reading as every library should. As the Mother City’s second-busiest library, Brackenfell has launched highly successful initiatives to nurture early literacy and a love of storytelling. Its digital literacy programme gave rise to Ubuntu Bytes, a project in which young people blended practical life skills with technology, engineering recipe prompts using AI. It also ran successful early literacy and storytelling initiatives. The awards, hosted by the Western Cape Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport, drew nominations from 375 public libraries this year. Other City of Cape Town winners included the “1 000 Stories before School” programme, which won the Reading and Literacy Champion Award. “In a country where literacy challenges continue to impact children’s educational outcomes, the programme has become a powerful, city-wide response to one of society’s most pressing challenges, ensuring that every child enters school with a love of stories, language and

LIBRARY LAUDED FOR EMBRACING TECHNOLOGY WHILE STILL FOSTERING LITERACY learning,” says Francine Higham, Mayco member for community services who praised the winners. Since its launch in 2022 as the first implementation project of the City of Cape Town Reading Strategy, the programme has united libraries, families and community stakeholders around a shared vision. Since its inception, membership has grown from 2 464 registered participants in 2023 to more than 20 571 registered children by June this year. Athlone Library won the Neville Alexander Award for Multilingualism for its Digital Reading Den, a platform bridging Afrikaans, English and Xhosa communities. Sir Lowry’s Pass Library took the Climate Culture in Action award for its

Cool Space Pilot project. “Well done to all the winners! I am incredibly proud of our libraries and librarians who consistently go the extra mile for their communities. They are all worthy contenders, but a special congratulations to those facilities that won awards. Our libraries continue to be safe places of innovation, learning and growth. I encourage our residents to visit their nearest libraries to experience the awardwinning programmes for themselves,” said Higham. Hosted annually by the Western Cape Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport, the Cultural Affairs Awards are a chance to celebrate the people and projects that make the province’s cultural and linguistic heritage so rich and diverse.

Motorist shoots alleged muggers DESIRÉE RORKE DESIRÉE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA

A 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, 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.

Paarl School beats City goes cashless at B’fell licence testing centre to one rhythm DESIRÉE RORKE

DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA

aarl School in Brackenfell was alive with the sound of drums, as learners and staff joined in this year’s Casual Day celebrations on 4 September. The theme, “Beat as One, Rhythm Matters”, came to life with a drumming session presented by Back2Basics, with everyone getting in on the rhythm. Spearheaded by the National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities (NCPD), Casual Day is South Africa’s foremost annual fundraising and awareness campaign for persons with disabilities, held every year on the first Friday of September. It invites South Africans to dress up or down according to an annual theme and wear an official sticker, bought for all of R20, to show solidarity. Paarl School takes part every year, and this year was no exception, with around 9 000 Casual Day stickers sold through the school, all contributing to the campaign’s fundraising efforts. As part of the day’s festivities, children and staff were spoiled with a sweet treat by the Paarl School Development Foundation, a registered non-profit that supports the school for learners with cerebral palsy, physical disabilities and learning disabilities.

Paarl School staff enjoyed the day with their learners.

SCHOOL CLAIMS CASUAL DAY TOP SPOT IN WESTERN CAPE Since 1939, the NCPD has been a powerful force in the fight for the rights of persons with disabilities in South Africa, growing into a leading voice in the disability rights movement that shapes awareness and opens doors to economic participation. Today, with WHO and ILO data showing that roughly 17% of South Africa’s population are persons with disabilities, the NCPD’s work is as vital as ever. It bridges the gap between national policy and the lived reality of those it represents, continuing to push for legislation and practices that make a tangible difference. Making it three in a row, Paarl School in Brackenfell has claimed the top spot as the Western Cape’s leading Casual Day sticker seller with an outstanding 10 508 stickers during the 2025 campaign. Together with the support of the broader community, the school last year raised a remarkable R210 000 in aid of the NCPD and Paarl School itself. The school has thanked every individual, business and school that supported the initiative, because every sticker makes a difference.

The Brackenfell Driving Licence Testing Centre will stop taking cash from 1 October as the City pilots a cashless payment system. The City’s remaining centres will continue to accept both cash and cards for now. The City operates 18 DLTCs across the metro, processing thousands of transactions monthly including traffic fine payments, learner’s and driving licence applications, licence card renewals and replacements, and Public Driving Permit (PrDP) applications. The switch to cashless is aimed at reducing the risk tied to handling cash, cutting reconciliation workload, limiting opportunities for revenue theft, and trimming cash collection fees. The City says it also supports broader digital transformation and improved service delivery. Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith, said the pilot would determine whether cashless payments could be rolled out to all DLTCs. He pointed to

two further developments that could ease pressure on the centres: the Road Traffic Management Corporation has already piloted an online appointment system in Gauteng and the Eastern Cape, which Smith called “a game changer” for Cape Town, and the recent announcement that driver’s licence cards will be valid for 10 years instead of five. “The City is moving towards more digital resources, to try and improve our customer experience and service delivery in general. Cashless transactions are one such development. This pilot will determine the feasibility of such a system at all of our DLTCs. We also look forward to other possible improvements in the future to help streamline operations at our DLTCs,” Smith said. He added that an online appointment system “would be a game changer here in Cape Town”, and that the extended licence card validity “will also go a long way in reducing the pressure on our centres, once implemented”.

Cape Chamber launches free online learning hub for businesses 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.

FROM PAGE 1 The 50% reduction in house burglaries compared to the previous year he says is very encouraging and is a positive development for our community. “As the CPF, we believe this reflects the continued efforts of the police, the CPF, neighbourhood watches, private security and residents working together to prevent crime. Improved visibility, patrols, information sharing and community involvement all play an important role in creating safer neighbourhoods.” The relatively low number of arrests for drug-related offences, he says, is a concern, particularly when one considers the impact that drugs have on other forms of crime and on the community.

“However, arrest figures alone do not necessarily provide the complete picture. Effective drug enforcement depends on intelligence, investigations, evidence gathering and successful prosecutions, rather than simply increasing the number of arrests. As the CPF, we believe there is a need for continued and strengthened cooperation between the police, the CPF, neighbourhood watches, schools, community organisations and residents to identify drug-related hotspots and provide relevant information to law enforcement. Brackenfell police were approached for comment on the crime statistics and related trends, but TygerBurger had received no response by the time of publication.

LIVE TRAINING CONTINUES 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.” People can browse the chamber’s events calendar to see upcoming training opportunities.

Vermaak // Entertainment 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

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

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 laugh and enjoy something together. Tickets cost R220. Book at www.dieboer.com or on 021 979 1911.

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.

Desalination plant faces ﬁve-year delay KAILIN DANIELS

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. Watch the City’s social media pages for updates.

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
