WHALES RETURN TO CAPE TOWN’S COASTLINE The appearance of southern right whales and their calves has delighted beachgoers along the coast. During the winter and spring months, the whales make their way to the warmer waters of the Western Cape, where they mate, give birth and nurse their calves.

Desalination plant faces ﬁve-year delay KAILIN DANIELS

KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

TRANSNET SAYS IT NEEDS PROPOSED SITE FOR PORT EXPANSION PUSHING CITY’S PLANS OUT TO 2036

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%, Wemmershoek Dam at 90%, Voëlvlei Dam at 59%, Steenbras Upper at 84% and Steenbras Lower at 49%.

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.

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-on-year dam levels mean water restrictions have not been ruled out. According to the latest Water Outlook

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 water-treatment 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.

FROM PAGE 1 “So we’re in the heart of this and it’s dead quiet,” Gotsell said. They then moved towards Koeberg Road, where they again found no obvious source. A faint humming sound was eventually detected, but Gotsell said it appeared to come from the direction of the refinery accompanied by birdsong and dog barks, but it wasn’t coming from there.

ongoing. Officials would continue pursuing reasonable lines of enquiry across Table View, Bloubergstrand and Milnerton, including the essential wet-well cleaning at sewer pump stations. Residents see the latest probe as light at the end of a tunnel.

The search continued to Appaloosa Dog Park, yet the source remained elusive. “We cannot find the noise. Not today,” Gotsell said. He and Van der Linde are asking residents to share more on where and when they heard the sound on Van der Linde’s WhatsApp group. RESIDENTS PUT FORWARD THEORIES The phenomenon has prompted theories from residents, such as container ships berthed close by. One resident said despite a ship’s main engine being switched off when anchored auxiliary diesel generators still provide electricity. And how loud it appears depends on weather conditions, topography and wind direction. Another resident put it down to machinery associated with illegal hydroponic growing, although there was no evidence linking illegal activity to the Table View noise. CITY INVESTIGATION CONTINUES The City’s Noise Control Administration confirmed complaints had been received about noise and that the matter was being investigated under the Western Cape Noise Control Regulations, 2013.It stressed that investigations are based on objective evidence, including officials’ observations and technical measurements, and were

Residents weigh in as the search for the mystery hum continues: Chris Langeveldt — I have patrolled the streets in the dead of night trying to track this mystery. Still zero luck, but the creeping dread is real. And no, I don't believe it to be a “stormdrain truck” or sanitation work. Utter nonsense. The second the hum starts vibrating your walls again, ping this group immediately with a location. I will throw on my slippers and deploy. Stay vigilant. Check your walls. Trust no one. Janine Becker — I even had my ears checked because I thought I could have a problem but it was not that. I only would hear the sound if I am in Table view. So it's deﬁnitely a sound in the area. Natasha Lassen — At about 10.30 there seemed to be a similar drone sound coming from the harbour side. The docks sounded very busy last night with other noises too so I wasn’t able to clearly distinguish the sounds. I am in Woodbridge island. Karen Wienand — Maybe we all have tinnitus. In Bothasig I hear a drowning hum like a washing machine. Jane Howes — The best way to monitor frequency emission and propagation in the area is to measure it with suitable equipment when the pumping stations are operating. A time history report of this data correlated to when the “noise” is heard could help conclude ﬁndings. Rayne de Jongh — I hear this every night. I've always assumed it's the hum of the ocean.

Cable theft thwarted, seven thieves arrested RICHARD ROBERTS

RICHARD.ROBERTS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

even suspected copper-cable thieves were arrested last week after attempting to steal below-ground cables from an open field in Giel Basson Drive (M12), near Burgundy Estate. They was arrested on Monday 7 September. The field, an Eskom reserve area, is located behind the oil-storage tanks in the grounds of the Strategic Fuel Fund (SFF), a hot spot for cable theft. An assortment of tools used to dig the cables up were confiscated. COLLABORATIVE EFFORT The Monte Vista and Plattekloof Glen, Edgemead and Richwood Neighbourhood Watch, the Parow police, District Watch, Fidelity ADT, Securitas, Precinct Response and the Metro Police all played their part in the arrest. Col Deirdré Engelbrecht, Parow Police Station commander, said armedresponse officers had spotted the men digging for cables behind the tanks. They requested back-up, apprehended all of them and handed them over to the police. Engelbrecht said an axe, two spades, copper cable and torch were handed in as evidence at Parow Police Station. Deon Oosthuizen, vice-chair of the Monte Vista and Plattekloof Glen Neighbourhood Watch, said one of the group’s patrollers spotted the group being dropped off by a white bakkie. District Watch and Fidelity ADT armed-response officers responded

SPACE IS A KNOWN HOTSPOT FOR CALBE THEFT IN THE AREA after back-up were called. “I got the Metro police and the police involved,” Oosthuizen said. He said individuals were carrying hacksaws and spades. He had visited the hot spot before, also in the wake of a cable-theft incident. “There is actually a whole operation. The thieves have a makeshift camping area, with trenches where they burn and strip the wire.”

Centre helps families rebuild KAILIN DANIELS A new family contact centre in Table View is aiming to provide children and separated families with a safe, childfriendly environment where relationships can be maintained and, where possible, rebuilt. The Treehouse Family Centre, situated at 234 Blaauwberg Road, was officially opened recently by the Samuel Lawson Foundation NPC, with representatives from the Western Cape Department of Social Development and Ward 113 councillor Sue van der Linde among those attending. The centre provides a range of services for families dealing with separation, parental conflict, safety concerns or a breakdown in contact. These include supervised contact, reunification support, safe handovers, Voice of the Child services and mediation. A CHILD-CENTRED APPROACH The centre has a private social worker, Tanya Daniels, based on site who works directly with children and families referred to the centre. She assists with intake and screening, supervised contact, reunification support and child participation, while also working with courts and other

professionals involved in family matters. According to co-founder and CEO Jade Lawson, the idea for the centre grew out of her experience working as an advocate in the family courts. “I kept seeing cases where supervised contact was ordered or recommended, but there was nowhere suitable for it to take place,” Lawson said. “A family would leave court with an order, but no safe and child-friendly venue where the child could actually see their parent.” Lawson said she also saw the impact of lengthy disputes between parents, particularly when children went months without seeing a parent. SAFE SPACE A key feature of the Treehouse is its playroom, which Lawson said was deliberately designed to avoid the clinical feel associated with offices, consulting rooms or court-related environments. “I did not want children to walk into another cold office, consulting room or place that reminded them of court,” she said. “I wanted them to walk in and feel excited. It needed to feel like a space made especially for them, where they could play, read, draw, build things, use their imagination and simply be children.” The environment is also intended to help children and parents reconnect naturally, particularly where contact has been interrupted for an extended period. Lawson said the aim was to reduce children’s exposure to adult conflict while providing a safe environment where important relationships could continue or be rebuilt where appropriate. Every family undergoes an intake and screening process, with matters assessed according to the child’s age, safety and individual needs. The centre works with courts, social workers, lawyers, advocates, mediators, psychologists and other professionals involved with families. It can also assist families with implementing court orders, parenting plans and professional recommendations. The Table View centre is the first Treehouse Family Centre, but Lawson hopes it will eventually become the first of several. For more information send an email to jade@samuellawsonfoundation.org

Kankerlyer (12) bedank almal vir ondersteuning RICHARD ROBERTS

RICHARD.ROBERTS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

ie gesin van Chánterie van Rensburg (12), ’n jong kankerlyer van Monte Vista, sê hulle is ongelooflik dankbaar vir al die ondersteuning wat hulle sedert haar diagnose in Januarie vanjaar van familie, vriende, haar skoolgemeenskap, ander skole en die publiek ontvang het. Rabdomiosarkoom-kanker (RMS), ’n seldsame sagte-weefsel kanker, is by Chánterie gediagnoseer. Chánterie se ma, Clarissa, het aan TygerBurger gesê dié gr. 7-leerder se chemoterapie- en bestraling-sessies is afgehandel. Hulle het verlede Woensdag ná haar PET-skandering (positron emission tomography) gehoor die skandering is skoon en geen teken van aktiewe kanker bestaan meer nie. REMISSIE Clarissa sê die feit dat Chánterie in remissie is, is vir hulle as gesin moeilik om in woorde te beskryf. “Toe ons op 27 Augustus gehoor het Chánterie se PET-skandering is skoon en [die kanker] is in remissie, was dit die nuus waarvoor ons sedert Januarie gebid het. “Ons het daardie dag ’n ongelooflike mengsel emosies ervaar. Ons lewe het op 6 Januarie binne ’n paar uur heeltemal verander. Van ’n gesonde, aktiewe 12-jarige meisie is Chánterie skielik met erge rugpyn [in die hospitaal] opgeneem en sy kon later skaars loop. ’n Paar dae daarna het ons onsself in ’n wêreld van kanker, operasies, chemoterapie en hospitale bevind. “Om haar nou weer te sien skoolgaan en aktief aan skoolaktiwiteite deel te neem, is vir ons onbeskryflik kosbaar. Dinge wat voorheen so normaal was, voel nou soos ’n groot voorreg en seëning. “Ons weet die pad is nog nie heeltemal verby nie. Sy begin nou met instandhoudingsbehandeling in die vorm van daaglikse chemo-medikasie, wat sy vir die volgende jaar sal gebruik, en haar dokters sal haar baie noukeurig monitor. Maar vandag is [die kanker] in remissie, en daarvoor is ons ongelooflik dankbaar,” sê Clarissa. BEHANDELING Chánterie het nege intensiewe chemoterapie-siklusse ontvang, asook 20 bestralingsbehandelings. Daar was hospitaalopnames, afsondering, bloedoortappings, baie lae bloedtellings, haarverlies, uitputting en dae waarop haar liggaam eenvoudig net moes probeer herstel voordat die volgende behandeling kon begin, vertel Clarissa. “Maar deur alles het sy ons met haar deursettingsvermoë verstom. Daar was natuurlik moeilike dae en trane, maar daar was ook baie gelag en ongelooflike mooi oomblikke tussenin.” Haar onkoloog, dr. Johann Riedemann, het Chánterie as ’n wonderwerk beskryf. “As gesin glo ons werklik dat medisyne, ongelooflike dokters en verpleegpersoneel,

“Ons het daardie dag ’n ongelooﬂike mengelmoes emosies ervaar.” - Clarissa van Rensburg gebed en genade almal deel van haar verhaal is,” sê Clarissa. ONDERSTEUNING Verskeie gemeenskappe en skole het Chánterie die afgelope agt maande in haar stryd gesteun. Clarissa meen dié ondersteuning was ’n ongelooflike ervaring en sy sê die gesin het nie woorde om dit te beskryf nie. Sy sê die ondersteuning wat hulle ontvang het, is iets wat hulle nooit sal kan terugbetaal of vergeet nie. “Ons het altyd geweet ons het goeie mense rondom ons, maar ons het nooit besef hoe groot ons ondersteuningsnetwerk werklik is, totdat ons dit nodig gehad het nie.” “Ons familie, vriende, skole, onderwysers, ouers, kinders en selfs mense wat ons glad nie persoonlik ken nie, het vir Chánterie gebid, boodskappe gestuur, geldinsamelings gehou en op soveel praktiese maniere gehelp. Ons het ondersteuning ontvang wat ver buite ons eie skool en gemeenskap gestrek het. “As ouers was daar dae waarop ons self moeg en bang was, maar dan het ’n boodskap, ’n gebed of ’n eenvoudige gebaar op presies die regte tyd gekom. “Hierdie reis het vir ons gewys wat gemeenskap werklik beteken. Ons het nooit alleen gevoel nie. Daar was letterlik ’n hele gemeenskap wat Chánterie saam met ons gedra het. Ons sal vir die res van ons lewe dankbaar wees vir elkeen wat deel van haar pad was – van haar mediese span tot iemand wat net ’n boodskap gestuur het om te sê: ‘Ons bid steeds’. Elke gebaar het saakgemaak.” Chánterie is intussen terug by die skool. Die Laerskool Panorama, waar sy die hoofmeisie is, het verlede week ’n video op hul sosialemediablad gedeel, waarin Chánterie haar ondersteuners bedank. ‘DIS VIR ONS BAIE EMOSIONEEL’ “Om terug te wees by die skool beteken vir Chánterie ongelooflik baie. “Om haar nou weer in haar skoolklere te sien, saam met haar maats te sien lag en aan aktiwiteite deel te neem, is vir ons baie emosioneel. “Haar groot droom gedurende haar behandeling was om betyds gesond genoeg te wees om deel van haar laaste Interskole te kon wees. “Sy het dit reggekry. “Om haar daar saam met haar span op die hokkieveld te sien, ná alles waardeur haar liggaam gegaan het, was een van daardie oomblikke wat ons nooit sal vergeet nie. Sy wil nou eintlik net weer haarself wees – ’n 12-jarige meisie wat skoolgaan, saam met haar vriende kuier en die gewone dinge doen wat kinders behoort te kan doen.”

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.

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.

NUUS

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

CIRCUS COULD LEAVE LIONS AND TIGERS BEHIND

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.

Four ECD talks planned 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. 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. The department hosts compliance drives and roadshows in communities throughout the year to engage the ECD sector on their journey to compliance. 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. Visit www.capetown.gov.za/local%20 and%20communities/community-buildingand-upliftment/start-a-social-enterprise/ ecd-centres for more information on support provided to ECDs.

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.

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.

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
