CUSTOMISED FURNITURE “We had just moved into our renovated home before covid, and I had the opportunity to build my dream workshop. It was just an amazing time in that I was able to set everything up. I was approached by friends in interior decoration, who asked me for my help to make customised furniture for clients, as all the factories were closed during that time. I took on the challenge and then got the opportunity to also manufacture furniture for their next project. I could not resist the call to a new adventure and so The Makers Shed was born. “I have been fascinated with making things from a very young age. As a child I was brought up on a farm and our family business was furniture manufacturing, restorations and refurbishment. “With access to a wonderland of equipment, a father who never said no and great mentors who came across my path, I would spend every spare moment honing my skills and making new things. This fascination and love of making things always stayed with me during the many paths I followed in my life journey. TO PAGE 4

DURBANVILLE WOODWORKER TO TAKE PART IN PRESTIGIOUS RUBIO

rom rekindling an old hobby from his childhood during the Covid-19 pandemic, a woodworker from Durbanville has just been selected to participate in the prestigious Rubio Monocoat Heritage Build-Off Auction 2026. The work of 12 talented woodworkers has been selected in a nationwide competition that celebrates creativity and craftsmanship while supporting an important cause. All the work will be auctioned from 1 to 30 September — all proceeds in aid of the Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa). Morris Knudsen from D’Urbanvale worked as operations manager at a local church in Durbanville for 11 years when the pandemic struck. With only online church services for almost a year and him being at home most of the time, Knudsen was trusting for the next chapter for him and his wife, Franita, known as Fran by family and friends. He was challenged by friends and family to start designing his own furniture. He also presented classes for children and adults in woodwork at some stage.

Animal keeping bylaw amended

he City of Cape Town is inviting public comment on proposed amendments to its animal keeping bylaw. The changes would ban wild and exotic animals in circuses, authorise law enforcement officers to seize animals kept in contravention of the by-law, and introduce stricter regulations for working animals. During the last financial year, the City's Animal Control Unit responded to 9 499 calls, with the most falling into the following categories: Animals on the roadway (672); stray livestock (497); stray dogs (4 431); dogs off leash (107); dangerous or vicious dogs (2 839), neglect, cruelty or injury to animals (325) and information calls (628). “There is no doubt that Cape Town is a caring city as witnessed by the thousands of complaints we receive annually about animal abuse, cruelty, neglect and genuine concern,” said chairperson of the Safety and Security Portfolio Committee Mzwakhe Nqavashe. “The bylaw aims to help protect public health and safety by setting out the rules for vaccination, quarantine and the treatment of animals. It also includes the regulating of public spaces, such as animals on leashes to keep residents safe. How we treat our most vulnerable furry, and non-furry friends is a reflection of our values,” said Nqavashe. Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith said the City takes the welfare of all our residents seriously, including the four-footed, furry and feathered ones. “Acting or simply removing an animal can be a lengthy process, especially as the City is limited in when and how we can act. The amendments aim to extend our reach and strengthen our enforcement. By doing so, we are creating a better life for the many animals in the city,” said Smith. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS The proposed amendments include: A prohibition on the use of animals for

Misdaad styg met 6,9% TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS angemelde misdaad in die Durbanville-polisiegebied het in die eerste kwartaal van die 2026-’27-boekjaar met 6,9% toegeneem. Altesaam 929 misdade is tussen 1 April en 30 Junie aangeteken, teenoor 869 in dieselfde tydperk verlede jaar. Die kwartaal is deel van die polisie se jongste misdaadverslag vir April tot Junie 2026. Van die opvallendste toenames was in ernstige geweldsmisdaad. Nege moorde is aangeteken, teenoor vier ’n jaar tevore, terwyl verkragtings van vier tot 11 toegeneem het. Poging tot moord het op 10 gebly. Gewone aanranding het van 45 tot 57 gevalle gestyg, terwyl aanranding met die doel om ernstig te beseer van 22 tot 23

GEWELDSMISDAAD SOOS MOORD EN VERKRAGTING NEEM TOE toegeneem het. HANDELSMISDAAD NEEM TOE Handelsmisdaad het ook ’n merkbare sprong getoon – van 106 sake verlede jaar tot 153 vanjaar. Dwelmverwante misdaad het van 195 tot 204 toegeneem, terwyl roof met verswarende omstandighede min verander het, maar steeds van 36 tot 37 gestyg het. ’n Verbetering is wel in sommige misdaadafdelings aangemeld. Diefstal uit of vanaf motorvoertuie het van 109 tot 71 gedaal. Ondanks die afname was dit

steeds een van die misdade wat die meeste gedurende die kwartaal aangemeld is. Voertuigdiefstal het daarenteen van 13 tot 17 toegeneem, terwyl huisbraak effens van 67 tot 64 afgeneem het. Die jongste kwartaal skets dus ’n gemengde prentjie vir Durbanville, met dalings in sommige eiendomsverwante misdade teenoor toenames in geweldsmisdaad en handelsmisdaad. Die polisie se data geld vir die hele Durbanville-polisiegebied en nie net die sentrale woonbuurt nie. Die syfers sluit misdade in wat by die polisie aangemeld of deur die polisie opgespoor is. Die polisie verduidelik ook dat die syfers misdaadtellings verteenwoordig en nie noodwendig die aantal saakdossiere nie, aangesien een dossier meer as een aanklag kan bevat.

Business rezoning proposed for D’ville property TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS A property in central Durbanville could soon move from residential to business use. The City published a land-use application for Erf 865 at 12 Oxford Street on 4 September. According to the notice, the applicant wants to rezone the site from Single Residential Zone 1 to General Business Zone 1. Jacobus Fourie Olivier and Edge Telecommunications (Pty) Ltd are listed as the applicant and owner. The application also includes the removal of restrictive title-deed conditions, amendments to township conditions, approval of a site

development plan and permission for parking within 10 metres of the boundary. WHAT THE ZONING CHANGE COULD ALLOW Under the City’s Development Management Scheme, General Business Zone 1 allows for several uses, including offices, business premises, flats, hotels, places of instruction and places of worship. The notice does not spell out exactly what the applicant plans to operate from the property. That detail is likely to draw interest from nearby residents and businesses,

particularly because Oxford Street sits close to Durbanville’s busy commercial centre. PUBLIC COMMENT REMAINS OPEN Residents have until 5 October to comment or object. Submissions must include the application reference number, 1500165164, along with the reasons for supporting or opposing the proposal. The application can also be inspected at the City’s Northern District planning office by appointment. The matter will go through the normal land-use process before a final decision is made.

Roadworks add to traffic squeeze TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS Motorists travelling through parts of Bellville, Tygervalley and Durbanville face months of roadworks as congestion emerges as one of Cape Town businesses’ biggest local concerns. The City currently has road resurfacing projects under way in Welgemoed and several Durbanville suburbs, with much of the work expected to continue until November. Roadworks are taking place in areas including Welgemoed, Schoongezicht, Vierlanden, Vygeboom, Wellway Park East and Langeberg Village. Further north, motorists using Okavango Road also face disruption at its intersection with Hennop Road. That project is scheduled to continue until 15 December. The work includes widening the road and intersection, installing and upgrading stormwater infrastructure, improving traffic signals and upgrading streetlights. The City said the improvements were required as part of development approvals in the Kraaifontein and Durbanville area and are intended to accommodate increased traffic linked to new development. The construction comes as businesses increasingly flag traffic congestion as a major obstacle. A Business Environment Survey released by the Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry on 2 September found that congestion ranked as the single biggest constraint businesses face at precinct level. The Bureau for Economic Research conducted the survey, which was analysed by Impact Economix. Among 230 respondents in the Cape Town metro, 54,8% identified traffic congestion as a serious constraint. The figure climbed to 72,7% among businesses employing more than 200 people. Across the Western Cape respondents surveyed, traffic ranked ahead of local concerns about electricity supply, digital connectivity and crime. For residents, however, the immediate concern will be navigating the existing roadworks.

FROM PAGE 1 “In a world consumed by mass production, there is something so gratifying in the slow and meticulous process of creating a unique piece from start to finish with our clients,” he says. DESIGNING OWN PIECES Encouraged by family and friends, Knudsen also started to design his own pieces. The first was a chair he worked on with a client for six months. He named the chair “The Hanlie” after her “for her grace to allow me the freedom to design the chair and the patience to wait during the process of getting it right”. “I am thankful that my passion is my work. I also have a passion for teaching and hope to get classes for children and adults up and running again. My trade is a dying one,” he says.

OLD-WORLD CHARM “I chose to create an eight-seater dining table from French oak. I love the warmth, character and old-world charm of this beautiful timber — particularly when it is used to create fresh, modern designs. Blending the old with the new is something I enjoy incorporating into both the design and manufacture of our furniture. “In the spirit of celebrating South Africa’s Heritage Month, I chose to create a table because it represents a place where we gather. As South Africans, so many of our most meaningful moments happen around a table — with family, friends, good food, generous hospitality, and shared memories,” he explains. He has named the design “The Fran” after his wife of almost 26 years. “The table resembles her characteristics

and reminds me of her. She loves people, entertaining and cooking, and brings us so much joy to be able to feed people good food,” he explains. NATURAL BEAUTY “Every piece (in the auction) will be finished using Rubio Monocoat PreAging and the new Oil Plus 2C colours, highlighting the natural beauty of the wood and giving it good protection. “Rubio Monocoat is a company and product range that I know well and have trusted in my furniture-making for many years. This build gave me a rare opportunity to design and create something entirely from my own imagination. “Beginning with a completely open brief was both exciting and challenging, allowing the design to develop naturally throughout the creative process,” he says. Like and follow The Makers Shed on Facebook and Instagram over the next few weeks to follow the story behind the table and the process of creating it. Visit https://rubiomonocoat.co.za to view all the incredible pieces and place your bids.

This French oak table will be auctioned in aid of Cansa.

Knife-point robbers nabbed after cell snatch DESIRÉE RORKE DESIREE.RORKE@TYGEBURGER.CO.ZA

Two men were arrested in Hout Street in Peerless Park North on Wednesday afternoon after allegedly robbing a 13-year-old schoolgirl of her cellphone at knifepoint. The pair were nabbed shortly after 14:00 when a Titanium Securitas Tactical Reaction Team member spotted two individuals matching the description given to security by informants. The school girl had been on her way home from school when the suspects allegedly struck her in the face, threatened her with a knife, and took her cellphone, according to a spokesperson at Titanium. “The victim positively identiﬁed the pair on the scene. A search followed, turning up both the stolen phone and the knife. Both suspects were arrested and handed to Kraaifontein police for further investigation,” said the spokesperson. The office of the provincial police commissioner conﬁrmed the arrest saying the two men aged 30 and 35 appeared in Bluedowns Magistrates' Court on Friday. The attack has sparked outrage among Peerless Park North residents, many of whom say they have had enough of crime in the area. Community members expressed particular anger that a 13-year-old girl was targeted on her way home from school, a time and route that should be safe for children. Residents described the incident as symptomatic of a broader problem, with robberies and opportunistic crime leaving families living on edge. Several said the fact that the suspects were caught so quickly was a relief, but questioned how two grown men could target a child in broad daylight. The swift response by security, aided by community informants, has been welcomed, but residents say one arrest does not solve the problem. They are demanding sustained action.

City joins global road safety drive DESIRÉE RORKE

DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA

he City of Cape Town has signed on to the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety (BIGRS), gaining access to world-leading road safety expertise and four full-time professionals embedded at the City for the next four years. The initiative links more than 30 cities worldwide in implementing evidencebased measures to cut traffic deaths and injuries. For Cape Town, the partnership arrives just as the City’s transport planning and network management team begins rolling out the recently approved Road Safety Strategy. Projects stemming from the partnership will be managed by the urban mobility directorate in close collaboration with traffic services. Mayco member for urban mobility Rob Quintas said the timing could not be better. “The launch of this exciting partnership is perfectly timed as our transport planning teams embark on the implementation of the City’s recently approved road safety strategy, which ultimately directs our efforts in making Cape Town’s roads safer and reducing the number of accidents and loss of life,” he said. The updated strategy addresses safety for pedestrians, other non-motorised road users, and passengers, especially scholars and public transport users. “We are aligned to what we know is one of the greatest drivers for the BIGRS, which is to assist cities in creating a transport system that allows people to move safely and efficiently,” Quintas said. BIGRS director of injury prevention Kelly Larson said the initiative helps cities implement a proven package of lifesaving activities, with a strong focus on

INITIATIVE LINKS CITIES ALL OVER THE WORLD TO SHARE EXPERTISE OF FULL-TIME PROFESSIONALS

data collection and surveillance, changing road-user behaviour, and improving road infrastructure. “We are thrilled to be in Cape Town this week to mark the start of our new partnership with the City of Cape Town,” Larson said. “We are certain that Cape Town will achieve great success in their efforts over the next few years and plan to support the team with the experience and resources we have to offer.” The City leads the development, coordination, and oversight of road safety initiatives. Through the strategy, priorities include safer pedestrian crossings, traffic calming, improved safety around schools, safer walking and cycling environments, public awareness campaigns, and targeted enforcement in high-risk locations. “In a few years’ time, we want to see a stronger road safety culture here in Cape Town with fewer serious injuries and lives lost to accidents that were in fact preventable on many occasions,” Quintas said. “I can’t wait to see all the innovative projects that have already been implemented successfully abroad, and which ones could be implemented here to keep Cape Town moving safely.” PROGRESSED TO BE TRACKED Since 2007, the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety has worked with governments and

international and local partners to pass nearly 200 national, state, and city policies, protecting 4,2 billion people and saving an estimated 900 000 lives, according to the organisation’s website. The initiative has also improved safety features in 135 car models, redesigned more than 2 400 dangerous intersections, and trained nearly 80 000 traffic police across 22 countries. The initiative implements a comprehensive package of activities proven to save lives, focusing on five key areas. This includes strengthening national legislation, enhancing data collection and surveillance, changing road-user behaviour, improving road infrastructure, and upgrading vehicle safety. Its next phase aims to save one million additional lives through 2030.The initiative includes the Bloomberg Initiative for

Cycling Infrastructure (BICI), which helps cities design streets that increase biking rates, revitalise neighbourhoods, and promote community health and well-being. Since 2022, BICI’s competitive grant programme has reached two million people across 10 cities, building over 200 miles of safe cycling facilities and preventing 8 000 crashes. It anticipates a reduction of 97 000 tons of CO2 emissions by 2040. For Cape Town, the partnership will bring technical assistance and training from experts in the world’s leading road safety organisations, benefiting the City’s Transport Planning and Network Management team as they implement the recently approved Road Safety Strategy. The City has assured residents that progress from the partnership will be tracked, with interventions and resources directed to areas of greatest need.

Curro Durbanville’s Hannah Olujobi has capped off a remarkable 2026 athletics season by claiming gold in the girls u-17 shot put competition at the Cossasa Games in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. The achievement comes after a season of consistent improvement that saw Hannah progress from a personal best of 13.53m at the start of the year to 15.03m at the SA Schools Athletics Championships in Pretoria, where she secured silver and was ranked as the second-best u-17 girls’ shot put athlete in South Africa. Hannah’s season began with gold at the Inter-Curro Podium competition at Dal Josaphat Stadium in Paarl on 2 February, followed by a breakthrough performance of 14.01m and second place at the Top 5 Athletics Interschools. She went on to claim silver at the Curro Podium Grand Final in Pretoria with a throw of 13.78m, before producing another personal best of 14.23m in the ﬁnal Western Cape qualifying round.

Curro Durbanville’s Karlien Botha has reached impressive heights on the tennis court over the past few weeks, establishing herself among the best junior players in South Africa. Karlien, still an u-13 player, recently travelled to Kenya to participate in two international ITF u-14 CAT 0 tournaments. She entered the competition as an unranked and unseeded player, but managed to finish in the top four of both tournaments. In the first tournament, Karlien won the silver trophy in singles and also progressed to the quarterfinals of the doubles. In the second tournament, she secured a bronze medal in singles and a silver trophy in doubles, earning her first international points. Karlien’s success at international level has been followed by another exceptional achievement at home. According to her combined Tennis South Africa ranking, she is currently among the top six u-14 players in South Africa, earning her direct entry to the 2026 Trio TSA Junior Masters. The Junior Masters is the biggest junior tennis tournament in South Africa, with only the top eight players in each age group invited. Karlien’s place is one of only two u-13 girls who managed to earn a place in the u-14 division of this year’s Junior Masters, taking place from 10 to 13 September at Edgemead Tennis Club.

Fairmont High marks 49 years TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS airmont High School marked its 49th anniversary with celebrations that began on 3 September and continued into the weekend. The Durbanville school, which opened in 1977, also hosted its first Monty Sunrise, bringing learners and families together on the school grounds ahead of its 50th anniversary next year.

FROM 330 PUPILS TO AROUND 1 500 LEARNERS Fairmont opened as Eversdal English Medium School under founding principal Clive Wigg, with 330 pupils and 17 teachers. It was renamed Fairmont High School at the end of its first year. The campus was still taking shape

SCHOOL HOSTS FIRST MONTY SUNRISE at the time. The school hall was under construction, the sports fields were not yet complete and the upper floor of the main building was initially unused. Today, Fairmont has around 1 500 learners and offers academic, sporting and cultural programmes. Some of its traditions date back to those early years. Wigg wrote the words to the school song, while his wife, Lynn Wigg, proposed the motto “Stand Fast”. The school held its first Founders’ Day in 1981, creating a tradition of recognising its history and former learners.

Kleurloop gee kinders ’n dag om te onthou Kleur, skaterlag en hope energie het The Valley Primêre Skool die afgelope Saterdag (5 September) gevul toe leerders en hul families vir die skool se laaste geldinsamelingsgeleentheid van die jaar byeengekom het. Caressa Rhode, die sekretaresse by die

skool, het gesê die geld wat ingesamel word, help om in verskeie behoeftes te voorsien waarvoor die skool self verantwoordelik is. Dit sluit die opknapping van toilette en die speelterrein, algemene herstelwerk, opvoedkundige en sporttoerusting, tegnologie soos dataprojektors en verbeterde skoolveiligheid in. “Die geld help ons ook om die salaris van een opvoeder te betaal,” het Rhode gesê. Vir die skool was die dag egter nie net oor geldinsameling nie. Baie van die leerders kom uit landelike gebiede en van omliggende plase, waar gesinne nie altyd uitstappies of ander ontspanningsaktiwiteite kan bekostig nie. “Ons kinders het nie altyd die geld om uit te gaan en sulke dinge te ervaar nie,” het Rhode gesê. Die kleurloop is daarom as ’n gesinsgeleentheid aangebied waar kinders saam met hul ouers, ander familielede en maats kon deelneem. Rhode het gesê sy was tevrede met die opkoms en die ondersteuning wat die skool ontvang het. Dominique Beyneveldt van Kraaifontein was een die ouers wat die dag bygewoon het om haar dogter Zoë te ondersteun. Laeticia Adonis van Fisantekraal het saam met haar dogter Skyler gekom en gesê sy het die geleentheid baie geniet. “Dit was wonderlik. Ek het dit regtig geniet. Dit was ’n baie lekker geleentheid.”

Meaningful networking brews over coffee A networking event designed to spark conversations about ethical leadership and purposeful living will take place at Nitida Wine Farm on Friday 18 September. Coffee With Purpose, hosted by Unashamedly Ethical, brings individuals passionate about creating positive change in their communities through ethical leadership. The gathering will be held at Cassia restaurant at the Durbanville wine farm, offering guests an opportunity to connect and engage in conversation over coffee and breakfast in a relaxed setting. “Coffee With Purpose is about creating space for genuine connection and conversations that matter,” said Unashamedly Ethical CEO Gary Power. “We want people to leave not only having met new peo-

Registration opens at 08:30 and costs R165 per person, which includes coffee or tea and breakfast. Seating is limited and pre-booking is essential. RSVP to Pippa Pringle at comms@ unashamedlyethical.com by 9 September.

Kommentaar // Comments LEWENSKIEKIE

THINKING OUT LOUD

Don’t just jump on the party bus this election Before backing a party in the local government elections, voters should ask three questions about its ideas: Does it make historical sense? Does it make political sense? Does it make moral sense? As young South Africans, how often do we stop to ask where the ideas we support come from? Can they actually work? And if they do, are they right? Or do we simply ask whether they sound good or speak to our frustrations? This makes me think about a bus. If I were standing at a bus stop, I would want to know where the bus was going. But the destination would not be enough. I would want to know who was driving, which route we were taking, and whether the bus had made the journey before. Politics is not so different. As South Africa moves towards the 2026 local government elections, political parties will offer different destinations: better services, more jobs, economic freedom, safer communities. But a destination on a sign does not tell us everything about the journey. This matters because political identities can be inherited long before political beliefs are properly examined. We may support a party because our parents do, or reject one because of what we have experienced. But at some point, we have to ask: what do I actually believe? Does it make historical sense? South African politics cannot be separated from our history. Colonialism and apartheid shaped who held power, who owned land, who had access to education and where people could live. That history still inﬂuences how many vote. For many South Africans, the ANC’s history as a liberation movement remains important. For others, its record in government carries more weight. The EFF has found support among voters frustrated by inequality

A SLOGAN IS NOT A PLAN. A PROMISE IS NOT A GUARANTEE.

and land ownership, while the DA has built its identity around liberal democracy and effective government. The Patriotic Alliance has gained support around crime, migration and political representation. These parties offer different answers to what South Africa should become. Understanding where those ideas come from does not mean agreeing with them, but we cannot understand the road ahead if we refuse to look at the road behind us. Does it make political sense? Can it work? A party can promise jobs – how will those jobs be created? It can promise housing – where will the money and land come from? It can promise redistribution – how will wealth continue to be created? A slogan is not a plan. A promise is not a guarantee. Local government makes this particularly clear. Politics is visible in our daily lives: whether bins are collected, lights stay on, water reaches our homes and roads are maintained. These involve choices about money, priorities and responsibility. Parties should be judged by what they say and what they do with power. The DA has governed the Western Cape since 2009 and Cape Town since 2006, so its record can be measured against its promises. The same standard must apply to every party. No party should receive a free pass. Does it make moral sense? Even if it works, is it right? A policy can be effective and still cause harm. A government can deliver economic growth while leaving people behind. Politics is not only about what we want to achieve but also about what we are willing to do to other people to achieve it. Perhaps we spend too much time deciding what we are against and not enough time deciding what we are for. “Anyone but them” is not a political philosophy. As young South Africans, we have an opportunity to develop political beliefs of our own rather than simply inherit them. If I believe in accountability, I should demand it from the party I support. If I believe in human dignity, that principle should not change depending on who is affected. And if I change my mind after learning something new, that does not make me disloyal. Before we get on the political bus, we should ask more questions. We may never know exactly where the journey will end. But we can choose whether the driver, the route and the direction are ones we are willing to trust. - NAMHLA MONAKALI

What we need is more accountability With reference to the letter, "Static response is disingenuous" in TygerBurger on 2 September, I completely disagree. Firstly, whether you're driving uphill or downhill, the speed limit does not change. You as a driver are responsible to stick to it. And if you get caught speeding, be it uphill or downhill, take responsibility and just pay the ﬁne. From experience, it's the guys who got caught with their hands in the cookie jar that are ﬁrst to complain. And yes, it's easy to complain hiding behind your anonymity. Secondly, just because you don't see it does not mean it doesn't happen. The city is big and there are only so many traffic officials. What we really need is

more accountability from motorists, whether you drive a taxi, car, bus or truck. Yes, maybe traffic services can do more, but they can't be everywhere at once. The reality I witness day after day is that your average motorist has just as much disregard for the rules of the road as some taxi drivers — yellow-lane passing, skipping stop streets, jumping red lights, passing over solid white lines, and driving against oncoming traffic. And that's despite passing various traffic services vehicles in my daily commute. For instance, this morning I passed ﬁve — two provincial and three City of Cape Town vehicles. Of these, two were clearly out on visibility patrols — one in the process of pulling a bakkie over on the N1 — and the others were dealing

with infringements next to the road, of which one was a taxi. Motorists behave when they see traffic officials, but as soon as they're out of sight, the bad behaviour returns. What you refer to as "static response" is also necessary. The officials don't just pick a spot they think will be easy money; they put their cameras in spots where there are regular complaints. To this I can attest, living in a neighbourhood bordering a busy through road where speeding is a huge problem and residents regularly complain. The same goes for them popping up at the stop street in a quiet neighbourhood; it's usually a response to regular complaints. Esther, DURBANVILLE

Daadwerklike optrede teen Durbanville-plakkers geëis Dit is vir ons as inwoners van Durbanville verontrustend om te sien dat absoluut niks gedoen word oor die plakkers wat hul skuilings teenaan die taxistaanplek se heining in Nuwestraat opgeslaan het nie. Ons het begin kla toe daar een was en nou is daar al meer skuilings van karton en plastiek. Is daar enige geldige rede waarom niks daaraan

gedoen word nie? Of knyp die Stad Kaapstad maar die oë toe en laat hulle begaan? Ons wil gewis nie ’n Dunoon in die hartjie van ons dorp hê nie. Die munisipale verkiesing is om die draai. Wie gaan vir die DA stem as hy plakkers in ons middedorp toelaat? Is dít waarvoor ons belasting betaal?

Staatsgeboue kan beter gebruik word Dit is tyd dat belastingbetalers en kiesers se oë oopgaan oor hoe staatsgeboue bedryf word, want hulle betaal vir die foute en wanbestuur. Alle staatsondernemings is – veral sedert 1994 – tot in die grond afgebreek, en nou ook Sassa. Korrupsie vier steeds hoogty – selfs ná Zuma. Pres. Cyril Ramaphosa het in 32 jaar in die regering nog geen “kollegas” verklap wat korrup is nie. Onder hierdie wanbestuur tel ook staatsgrond en -geboue. In Bellville staan die sentrale Sanral-gebou, wat nog nooit gebruik is nie; in Voortrekkerweg by die binnelandse-sake-kantoor staan mense rondom baie blokke terwyl die een in Tygervallei net leë stoele genereer as gevolg van ’n lomp besprekingstelsel.

Hope staatsgrond kan beter benut word deur dit vir ontwikkeling deur private maatskappye te verkoop. Die massiewe Transnet-Bellville-rangeerwerf het feitlik geen waarde meer behalwe as dit verkoop word vir ’n bekostigbare behuisingsdorpie met woonstelle, ’n opvoedingsentrum, handwerkfabriek en trimpark nie. Ander voorbeelde vir ontwikkeling is die Soutrivier-rangeerwerf, Akasiapark, Wingﬁeld en Youngsﬁeld. Almal kan geld inbring vir die staat en in behoeftes voorsien. Die druk is op ons as kiesers om seker te maak dat verteenwoordigers wat in die komende verkiesing gekies word, nie net weer verdwyn soos hul foto’s op die pale nie. Waarnemer, BELLVILLE

Cattle in suburbia are a problem As a municipal taxpayer and senior citizen of Kuils River I'm very upset that cattle, goats and sheep are grazing freely on ﬁelds, pavements, private property and crossing the main road in search of further grazing while one herdsman attempts to control up to 70 animals at a time. My car was bumped by a cow in Mitchell street recently when cattle moved across the main road. No response from the police, metro police, or Kuils River municipality, although Cape Town emergency services advised that the matter would be attended

to. The stench of the animal dung and manure causes flies, blue flies and gnats entering houses. Living less than 100 meters from the canal, my wife can’t open the backdoor as the insects swarm in especially when preparing food. This couldn't-care-less attitude is not acceptable. It's becoming a serious health and security issue. Surely the owners of the animals have a responsibility and are obligated to find other suitable grazing. Kevin Quinton , KUILSRIVER

Die taxistaanplek is reeds vir ons ’n steen des aanstoots oor hoe dit daar lyk. Dit raak net erger en die munisipaliteit doen niks daaraan nie – zero. Theresa Uys, die raadslid vir wyk 112: Ons as inwoners vra vir en verwag spoedige optrede teen hierdie plakkers. Werner van Tonder, DURBANVILLE

U-draaie hou gevaar in Voor die Hoërskool Stellenberg in Mountain View-rylaan is daar hoeveel bordjies wat sê geen U-draai nie en van die tekens is selfs op die pad geverf. Maar gereeld kry ’n mens mense wat ’n U-draai maak en ander mense in gevaar stel. Ek is ’n motorﬁetsryer en vanoggend weer het ’n voertuig my amper van my ﬁets af gery toe hy ’n U-draai wou maak. Dis net genade dat ek die botsing kon voorkom. Kan iets gedoen word om dit te stop? Of moet iemand eers sterf voordat opgetree word? Deon Venter, E-POS

Gordon Hill-Lewis vra ons moet saamstaan Wanneer word die gras op ons sypaadjies in die voorstede gesny? In Ridgeworth staan dit al middellyfhoogte. Stap saam met “Cape Audit” en kyk hoe plak mense onder in Bellville – kilometers ver by die brug naby die taxistaanplek. Dit is skokkend hoe daardie kinders moet grootword. Jammer, DA, in my oë faal julle. Eliza Ridgeworth, E-POS

Teachers targeted in fresh jobs scam New, unemployed and substitute teachers in the Western Cape are again being targeted by a scam that promises permanent posts and demands payment for fake appointment letters. The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) first flagged the scheme in December 2025 and says several schools have now reported fresh incidents, according to WCED spokesperson Bronagh Hammond. “WhatsApp messages sent to teachers. These messages typically claim to be from a district official or school principal and state that a permanent post has become available at a particular school, with the recipient identified as the preferred candidate. “The WhatsApp message may even include the name and photograph of the relevant principal or official to make the communication appear authentic. The message then instructs the teacher to report to a school with specific documentation or contact a WCED official using the scammers contact details,” says Hammond. Critically, it concludes with a request for a “once-off fee”, usually to the amount of approximately R2 800, allegedly required for the “authorisation of an appointment letter” at district offices, accompanied by banking details. The department stresses that permanent teaching posts are advertised only through its Directorate: Recruitment and Selection, and that

the WCED including head office, district

offices and schools, will never ask for payment

for job applications or appointments.

Province to boost burns care

ith the upcoming fire season the Western Cape government said it was raising the importance of strengthening burns care and doing what it can to ensure the province’s health system is adequately prepared to respond to burn-related injuries. Last week the government said it was preparing its health system before any increase in fires and burn injuries. The Department of Health and Wellness is also strengthening specialised services and ensuring that appropriate care is available closer to communities, the province said. The Western Cape currently has two dedicated specialised burns services: the 18-bed paediatric C2 Burns Unit at Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital and the adult burns service at Tygerberg Hospital, comprising 20 low-care and six high-care/critical-care beds. During the 2025-’26 financial year these services managed 606 paediatric patients at Red Cross and 220 adult patients through Tygerberg Hospital. BRINGING CARE CLOSER TO COMMUNITIES The department was also looking beyond the traditional model of concentrating all burns care in specialised centres. In partnership with The Children’s Trust it is providing specialised equipment and targeted training at Ceres Hospital and Worcester Hospital to strengthen their

DEPARTMENT LOOKING BEYOND THE TRADITIONAL MODEL OF CONCENTRATING ALL BURNS CARE IN SPECIALISED CENTRES ability to manage appropriate paediatric burns closer to where patients live. The approach is to decentralise what can safely be decentralised while ensuring the most serious and complex cases continue to reach specialist- and critical-care services, the province pointed out. The department was developing a broader service redesign for adult burns care over the next 18 months. The redesign will make better use of general surgical and critical care capacity across the province while concentrating highly complex burns at Tygerberg Hospital. “This approach demonstrates that good governance is about anticipating pressure, planning for it and building capacity before communities need it,” said Memory Booysen, spokesperson for the Department of Health and Wellness. “We welcome this strategic approach and will continue to support efforts that make health care more accessible, resilient and responsive, particularly as the Western Cape enters a period where the risk of fires and serious burn injuries increases.”

Voices needed for World Singing Day at Groote Kerk

Leon Oosthuizen en Stephaan van Zyl by ’n vorige konsert-geleentheid in 2025.

Erfenisdag-gala by musieksentrum

ie Suid-Afrikaanse Vryrietinstrumentvereniging (Safra) se Erfenisgala 2026 vind vandeesmaand by die Hugo Lambrecht-musieksentrum se ouditorium in Pictonstraat, Parow, plaas. Volgens Safra Free Reed Mzansi, ’n organisasie sonder winsoogmerk, wat die geleentheid aanbied en ook as die Suid-Afrikaanse Vryrietinstrumentvereniging bekend staan, bring dié konsert toonaangewende trekklavier-, konsertina- en mondﬂuitjiespelers, ensembles, dansers en gasmusikante uit die Wes-Kaap, Noord-Kaap, Gauteng, KwaZuluNatal en Lesotho byeen. Die gala vier die merkwaardige verskeidenheid musiek wat met vryrietinstrumente – waaronder die trekklavier, konsertina en mondﬂuitjie – verbind word, met ’n program wat strek van klassieke musiek, boeremusiek, maskandi en famo tot Franse chanson, Suid-Afrikaanse pop, Duitse schlager, Argentynse tango, Keltiese musiek en Skotse kontreidans. Die geleentheid herdenk ook ’n merkwaardige sameloop van erfenismylpale uit 1926, soos die stigting van die Krugerwildtuin; die eerste boeremusiekopnames; die eerste opname van “Die Stem”; en die geboorte van die legendariese Suid-Afrikaanse trekklavierspeler wyle Nico Carstens. Die vereniging sê 2026 vier boonop 40 jaar sedert die totstandkoming van die Hugo

Lambrechts-musieksentrum en die vrystelling van Paul Simon se baanbrekeralbum Graceland, wat Suider-Afrikaanse musiekklanke – soos die kenmerkende klank van die trekklavier – aan wydlopende internasionale gehore bekendgestel het. “Vryrietinstrumente is in ’n unieke posisie om plaaslik én internasionaal brûe te bou,” sê Leon Oosthuizen, die president van Safra Free Reed Mzansi. Gehore word genooi om ’n grootse Erfenisdagjubileum te kom ontdek en te geniet en verras te word deur ’n viering van ons mense, ons trots en ons passie – gedeelde musiekklanke wat ons hier aan die suidpunt van Afrika verbind, sê Oosthuizen. “Ons het meer in gemeen as wat ons dalk besef. Deur hierdie verbintenisse te vier, bring die Erfenisgala ons uiteenlopende erfenisklanke na die konsertverhoog – met ’n sprankeltjie hoop.” Die Safra Erfenisgala 2026 vind op Donderdag 24 September om 15:00 plaas. Kaartjies vir die geleentheid is by www. quicket.co.za beskikbaar.

GLOBAL MOVEMENT Cape Town will join communities around the world in the 15th annual World Singing Day, founded in 2012 by Colorado musician Scott Johnson. The movement’s central message is: “Sing together. Unite the world.” “South Africa has something distinctive to contribute,” Poulsen said. “Our extraordinary singing tradition is renowned for its emotional depth, rhythmic vitality, rich harmonies and ability to communicate across cultural and linguistic boundaries.” Sampson said music had enabled her to bridge divides among people from all walks of life. “Even during Apartheid, music played a very signiﬁcant role in building our morale, giving us courage and uniting us to stand against the evils of human unkindness and intolerance. It is still doing this, even today,” she said.

Die Nederlandse sopraan Amira Willighagen bring haar vertoning Lente in die lug! op Sondag 20 September om 14:00 na Die Boerteaterrestaurant in Durbanville.
