he future of cycling at the Bellville Velodrome is again under the spotlight after the GOOD Party raised concerns about plans to remove its indoor cycling track. GOOD secretary-general and Cape Town mayoral candidate Brett Herron on Sunday 9 August questioned whether the planned cycling facility at Vygieskraal Stadium would adequately replace the Bellville track. The City of Cape Town announced in April that the Bellville Athletics Track and Velodrome precinct was set for a major private-sector redevelopment. Plans include upgrading the athletics track and transforming the Velodrome

OPPOSITIONS RAISES CONCERNS ABOUT PRIVATE SECTOR LEASE OF VELODROME into a multipurpose indoor events and concert venue. The existing cycling track will not be retained. WHAT IS PLANNED FOR BELLVILLE? The City’s Mayco greenlit the proposed redevelopment in April, with the recommendation then due to go to Council for final approval. The project stems from a tender awarded in 2009 for the development of the 11,47 ha precinct.
Under the proposal, the City will retain ownership of the athletics track and Velodrome. The developer will lease the facilities for an initial 50 years, with a conditional option to renew for another 10 years. The developer will also purchase identified vacant erven around the facilities for mixed-use development and will be responsible for upgrading and operating the athletics track and Velodrome as event venues. The planned indoor arena would accommodate approximately 14 000 to 18 000 spectators. The athletics track would receive a modern, competitioncompliant surface, while public access would be retained.

VYGIESKRAAL IDENTIFIED AS CYCLING HUB The City previously said it would not be sustainable to retain the existing cycling track as part of the Velodrome redevelopment. It said this followed a city-wide cycling feasibility study that looked at demand and how best to provide cycling facilities sustainably. Vygieskraal Stadium in Athlone was subsequently identified as a central hub for cycling. In April, the City said it aimed to carry out a R20 million upgrade at Vygieskraal during the 2026-'27 financial year, including the reinstatement and upgrade of a cycling track. TO PAGE 4

No congestion charges for now DESIRÉE RORKE
T
DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA
he City of Cape Town has dismissed claims that it plans to hit motorists with congestion charges, with Mayco member for urban mobility Rob Quintas saying such measures are off the table until Cape Town’s public transport is up to scratch, and that current national legislation doesn’t even allow for it. This comes after Cape Independence Party (CAPEXIT) last week slammed the City’s proposed Travel Demand Management (TDM) Strategy as an Orwellian dystopia, warning it would punish motorists with higher parking fees, congestion charges and financial penalties simply for driving. In his council speech in the July sitting, the party’s leader Jack Miller said the City’s strategy would burden motorists with unnecessary costs and restrictions. The strategy, approved by Council last month after a public participation process in October and November 2025, proposes measures to reduce traffic congestion, commuting times and carbon emissions. Miller argued the proposal would restrict the movement of Cape Town drivers rather than address the root causes of traffic. “We are presented with a strategy to control and manage the demand that Capetonians have to travel. And of course, the answer is various forms of punishment and more taxation,” he said in his speech. He referred to what is called “pricing measures” listed in the document that proposes to make parking more expensive for motorists driving during peak traffic times, and to penalise drivers for driving by themselves in their own car. “How exactly the City intends to implement these policies one can only imagine would require fleets of CCTV cameras tracking and monitoring the facial biometrics of drivers, counting the number of people in each car, and calculating how much to fine them at the end of the month depending on what hours of the day they were driving,” he said. “If the City really wants to decongest the roads, they can stop pushing high density low cost housing into every open crack, corner and crevice of Cape Town,
‘Of course, the answer is various forms of punishment and more taxation ...” — Jack Miller
and spending 75% of our budget on free handouts that invite economic migrants to come get a free house, free electricity and free water, and of course add to the overflowing traffic and collapsing water and sanitation infrastructure.” ONLY IN THEORY In response, Mayco member for the Urban Mobility, Rob Quintas, said to TygerBurger: “A congestion charge is not something the City is introducing now, or in the near future. Also, current national legislation does not make provision for such a system.” Quintas said congestion charging is “theoretical” and only to be considered once an effective, reliable and wellintegrated public transport system and enabling legislation are in place. “A congestion charge is mentioned as one of several long-term possibilities that may be considered only after we have achieved our primary goal of providing a reliable, efficient, and city-wide public transport network that serves as a viable alternative to private cars. We are a long way off,” Quintas told TygerBurger. “As for parking fees, the City charges R4,80 for every 15 minutes for the use of on-street parking bays in areas where the demand for parking is high. These are mostly business districts. Parking management ensures a turnover of parking bays and prevents any one motorist from occupying a parking space for extended periods.” The TDM strategy document states: “Beyond alleviating congestion, it contributes to reduced local emissions, enhanced urban mobility through increased use of public transport, walking and cycling.” It adds: “As public transport services improve, an investigation to understand the best suited scheme for Cape Town could be considered.”
Cape Town libraries recover R4.7m in overdue items The City of Cape Town said on Tuesday 4 August that their libraries have received a total of 37 422 overdue items back during its Fine Free Weeks. According to the City the cost of the overdue items was R4 767 836,51. “The number proves just how popular our Fine Free Weeks are. It is an opportunity for patrons to return books and other items without paying a fine for late returns. “Returning books allows others to also experience reading their favourite book. Our libraries have so much to offer, and I would like to invite residents to visit their local library to enjoy a safe reading space and so much more,” said Francine Higham, Mayco member for community services and health. Over the course of a year, the City’s Libraries and Information Services held four successful Fine Free Weeks – the last being held during the recent school holiday break which ran from 29 June to 4 July. This week also saw the return of 10 300 items valued at R1 393 920, the City said. Library patrons also returned 12 442 items during the National Fine Free Week in March earlier this year, the City said.

Enforcement gets a boost
T
he City's Law Enforcement department has seen a 70% surge in arrests in the past year, along with increases in enforcement categories. They City says the increases are partly due to the Neighbourhood Safety Officers (NSO) initiative, and the establishment of the anti-hijacking unit. The Metro Police Department is in its 25th year of operations. The first intake of recruits started active duty in December 2001. Over time, numerous specialised units have been introduced, including the K9 and Equestrian units, the Gang and Drug Task Team, the Strategic Surveillance Unit (CCTV), and the Tactical Response Unit. In September 2025, the Metro Police Department welcomed 700 new recruits who have been deployed in 99 municipal wards as Neighbourhood Safety Officers. The following month, 44 additional Metro Police officers started working on a shift rotation to shore up patrols on the N2 and surrounds. In November, an increase in hijacking incidents involving City-owned vehicles led to the establishment of the Anti-Hijacking Unit, focusing on vehicle recoveries. “I am pleased to note the increases in key categories, which are indicative of consistent efforts to drive down crime rates and hold those responsible to account within our limited scope. The amount of narcotics removed from our streets has nearly doubled, and there have been notable gains, too, in the recovery
ARRESTS SURGE 70%
of illegal firearms and ammunition, along with stolen vehicles. “While these are incredible successes worth noting, we need to work towards improving conviction rates. The City has placed on record its willingness and ability to assist, if granted expanded powers for our Metro Police Department, and we are now pursuing further steps to bring this to a head with national government,” said Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith. ATTACKS ON STAFF A note of concern is the consistent increase in the number of attacks on staff. These have nearly doubled in the past few years, from 64 incidents in the 2022/23 financial year to 116 in 2025/26. “I struggle to understand how people can deliberately turn on the very ones who put their lives on the line to make communities safer, and yet it is a reality that our staff face far too often. In fact, on average, a Metro Police officer is targeted in some way every three days. That's not including our other enforcement and emergency services. The fact is that it's but a small number of people who choose to protect the bad guys, instead of helping the good guys. In doing so, they are putting entire communities at risk from criminals who remain free to continue their illegal deeds,' added Smith.
Beware of traffic fine scam The City of Cape Town’s traffic services have warned people not to fall for a scam in which a demand is made to pay a fine within 24 hours or face legal action. In a statement issued on Wednesday 5 August the City's Traffic Services spokesperson Kevin Jacobs said it was aware of the resurgence of the scam, which involves emails or text messages being sent to motorists demanding they pay the fine. “We want to remind the public please to be careful and verify notices received before making payment or sharing their details. In Cape Town infringement notices are sent via post and MMS, with followup SMS reminders. They will include a picture of the fine notice and links to two online platforms.” Jacobs said if motorists do receive a fine they should check the details closely, including whether they were in fact in the area mentioned, or appear in the photograph on the day on which the infringement occurred. Motorists can also visit their nearest driving-licence testing centre or one of the City’s fine payment points to check the validity of the fine, he said. Jacobs said people who suspect they have been scammed should lay charges of fraud with the police.

KOMMENTAAR OOR DIE STAD KAAPSTAD SE BYGEWERKTE BELEID OOR BYDRAES 2026 Die Stad se eenheid vir tegniese vennootskappe (TPU) is tans besig met die bywerking van die beleid oor bydraes aan die Stad Kaapstad (beleidnommer 41636) wat oorspronklik in 2015 opgestel is. Meer oor die konsepbeleid Die Stad Kaapstad is besig om die beleid oor bydraes, wat in 2015 goedgekeur is, te hersien en by te werk. Die hersiene beleid verskaf ’n duidelike raamwerk vir hoe die Stad bydraes vanaf eksterne partye ontvang, evalueer en bestuur. Dit sluit tegniese bystand, toelaes en skenkings in. Aktiwiteite wat buite die omvang van die beleid val, soos borgskappe en nuwe inisiatiewe, word ook uiteengesit. Die bygewerkte beleid stem ooreen met huidige wetgewing, vereistes vir regeringsbestuur en die Stad se prosedures. Hierdie hersiening word gedoen omdat die bestaande beleid nie meer die kompleksiteit van bydraes wat deur die Stad ontvang word, weerspieël nie. Nuwe prosesse is oor die afgelope dekade bekendgestel, wat teenstrydighede tussen die beleid en onderliggende prosedures skep. Die bygewerkte beleid vereenvoudig prosesse, verbeter deursigtigheid, versterk regeringsbestuur en maak dit makliker vir Stadsamptenare, inwoners, besighede en ontwikkelingsvennote om die bestuur van bydraes te verstaan. Waarom word die beleid bygewerk? Die beleid word bygewerk om: 1. met huidige wetgewing, vereistes vir regeringsbestuur en die Stad se prosedures ooreen te stem. 2. die nuwe standaardbedryfsprosedures en riglyne wat sedert die opstel van die oorspronklike beleid ontwikkel is, te weerspieël. 3. teenstrydighede en verouderde bepalings uit die 2015-beleid te verwyder. 4. deursigtigheid, doeltreffendheid, risikobestuur en gladde sakeverloop te verbeter. 5. duideliker riglyne aan Stadsamptenare en eksterne belanghebbendes te verskaf. Verwagte uitkomste Die hersiene beleid bied ’n eenvoudiger, duideliker en meer konsekwente raamwerk vir die bestuur van bydraes aan die Stad. Die beleid sal na verwagting administratiewe vertragings verminder, voldoening versterk, wetlike en finansiële risiko’s minimaliseer, en samewerking tussen die Stad en organisasies wat munisipale programme en projekte wil ondersteun, verbeter. Die hersiene beleid gee ’n duidelike uiteensetting van: • wat ’n bydrae behels; • watter aktiwiteite buite die omvang van die beleid val; • hoe bydraes versoek, geëvalueer en aanvaar kan word; • hoe bydraes met die Stad se prioriteite en wetgewing ooreen moet stem; en • waar verdere leiding deur middel van onderliggende prosedures en riglyne beskikbaar is. Sê jou sê Interne konsultasie met verskeie lynfunksies van die Stad het gehelp om hierdie konsepbeleid op te stel en te verbeter. Dit is nou jou kans om jou sê te sê. Kry hier: http://www.capetown.gov.za/haveyoursay en by openbare biblioteke toegang tot die dokument.

Project to improve 42 roads across Road resurfacing in parts of Parow, Goodwood and Bellville are set to last until end of November this year, if all goes as planned, the City of Cape Town's Urban Mobility Directorate said. "The good news is that up to 42 roads in the Parow, Goodwood and Bellville areas have been identified for this project. We will be resurfacing sections of these roads over the next four months. The work includes the maintenance of the stormwater infrastructure, and the repainting of road markings after the resurfacing has been completed," said Rob Quintas, Mayco member urban mobility. The work will cover just over 13km in distance in the three areas. "We will try our best to limit the impact on road users and local residents, but
unfortunately, this work will bring some inconvenience, as is to be expected of all road projects," Quintas said. Daytime work will happen from 07:00 to 17:00; When needed, the contractor may work in the evening from 18:00 to 06:00; The anticipated completion date is 30 November, pending any unforeseen delays; The work includes the installation and repair of kerbs, manholes, channels and pruning of trees. The roads that will be impacted are located in Triangle Farm, Bellville South, Parow Industria, Parow East, Stikland Industria, Beaconvale, Parow Valley, Klipkop, Bo Oakdale and N1 City. Road users are advised to consider alternative routes and to anticipate some traffic congestion, the City warned.
FROM PAGE 1 At the time, the City said construction was expected to start in July this year. Herron said a due diligence briefing presented to Council in June described the planned Vygieskraal facility as a “moderate speed outdoor municipal cycling track” intended for recreational and training use. He argued that this would not be comparable to the indoor cycling track at the Bellville Velodrome. “The truth is that Cape Town will not get another Olympicstandard velodrome; once converted into a concert venue, it is gone,” Herron said. Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis previously described the proposed arrangement as a “win-win scenario”. He said private-sector investment would allow the Bellville facilities to be upgraded and maintained for athletes, schools and residents in a way
the City and ratepayers could not achieve through municipal funding alone. The City also said funds raised from the transaction would go towards upgrades to regional sporting facilities elsewhere in Cape Town. The Velodrome and athletics track themselves would remain under public ownership, while identified vacant erven surrounding the facilities would be sold for mixed-use development. TygerBurger has approached the City for comment on GOOD’s latest concerns and asked whether the planned Vygieskraal track will accommodate the same level of competitive cycling as the existing Bellville facility. The City was also asked to confirm the current approval status of the redevelopment. This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.

All Blacks fever hits Canal Walk Three All Blacks brought rugby supporters from across the Western Cape to Canal Walk earlier this month. Fans from Citrusdal, Paarl, Atlantis, Goodwood, Muizenberg, Kuils River and Bothasig queued at Totalsports on Thursday 6 August, where Peter Lakai, Fabian Holland and Samisoni Taukei'aho met supporters. For many, it meant joining a long queue and waiting for the chance to get an autograph or photograph with the New Zealand players.
Leonard van der Sandt and Tyler Daries from Kuils River with Qiyaam Arendse from Bothasig were among the northern suburbs fans who joined the occasion.

TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS hile South Africans marked Women’s Day over the weekend, one local woman spent it doing what has become close to her heart – helping animals find families of their own. Puppies and kittens looking for homes were among the weekend visitors at Majik Forest Shopping Centre in Van Riebeeckshof, where Loving Paws Rescue held an adoption day. Behind the initiative is founder Nadia Diedricks from Brackenfell, whose love for animals led her from dropping off bags of dog food after work to helping animals in communities where owners often struggle to afford their care. The weekend adoption day gave shoppers an opportunity to meet, cuddle and play with some of the animals looking for homes. And a few little paws may have found their match. “You can scroll past a picture, but when you walk in and touch them, it is difficult to walk past,” Diedricks said.
W
IT STARTED WITH WHAT SHE SAW Diedricks’ journey into animal rescue started about two-and-ahalf years ago. While travelling through Kuils River to write exams, she regularly saw pregnant dogs, puppies and animals suffering from mange and illness. She found herself seeing the same need each time she passed through the area. “I literally prayed and said, ‘Just show me what to do, because I can’t handle this anymore’.” So she started doing what she could. She asked for donations, collected food and deworming treatments and began dropping them off in the community. “I would pass there after work and drop off a few bags of food,” she said. Eventually, people began approaching her with puppies they could not keep.

HER JOURNEY STARTED ABOUT TWO-AND-AHALF YEARS AGO “That is how the puppy thing started.” What started with a few bags of food grew into Loving Paws Rescue. HELPING WHERE SHE CAN Diedricks said her experience has also taught her not to judge families who may be struggling to care for their pets. “Some of them do love animals, but they just can’t afford it,” she said. Sterilisation has therefore become an important part of the work, particularly in communities where unwanted litters can quickly add to the number of animals needing homes. “It is an ongoing thing. You think you have your area covered and then, when you look again, there is another pregnant mommy or a mommy with babies.” For Diedricks, another part of changing this is teaching children how to treat animals.

Litterboom catches 94 tons of waste
L Meer as 1 500 vroue het die geleentheid Sondag in die Kunstekaap se Operahuis bygewoon.
1 550 vroue sing lofprysinge Die Kunstekaap Operahuis was Sondag gevul met lofprysing, hoop en diep emosie toe meer as 1 550 vroue van oor die Wes-Kaap en Suid-Afrika heen byeen gekom het vir Radio Tygerberg 104FM se uitverkoopte Sis'ters 2026 Vrouekonferensie. Met die tema "Vryheid" het die dag vroue uitgenooi om opnuut die vryheid te ontdek wat slegs in Jesus Christus gevind word — vryheid van vrees, skaamte, seerkry, verwerping en die druk van die alledaagse lewe, lui 'n verklaring deur Radio Tygerberg. Deur kragtige aanbidding, inspirerende boodskappe en eerlike getuienisse is vroue aangemoedig om hul laste by God neer te lê en met nuwe hoop en geloof vorentoe te stap. "Ons wou 'n ruimte skep waar vroue die geraas van die alledaagse vir 'n paar uur kon agterlaat en weer God se stem kon hoor. Ons gebed was dat elke vrou bemoedig, versterk en met nuwe hoop huis toe sou gaan," sê Benescke Janse van Rensburg van Radio Tygerberg. "Ons is diep dankbaar vir elke vrou wat deel was van hierdie dag. Om saam te sien hoe God harte aanraak, is iets wat ons nooit as vanselfsprekend sal aanvaar nie." Die konferensie het optredes en boodskappe van Benescke Janse van Rensburg, Jenna-Leigh Bilong, Gretha Wiid en Lindie Strydom ingesluit, terwyl die gehoor ook deur betekenisvolle aanbidding en kreatiewe
produksies gelei is. Een van die hoogtepunte van die dag was die bekendstelling van die WAVES Foundation, Radio Tygerberg se nuwe gemeenskapsinisiatief wat mense wil inspireer en toerus om deur eenvoudige dade van liefde 'n blywende verskil in hul gemeenskappe te maak. Met die leuse "Ordinary people. Extraordinary change," wil WAVES Foundation 'n beweging skep waar gewone mense saamstaan om buitengewone verandering te bring. Tydens die bekendstelling is vroue genooi om deel te word van die beweging en saam golwe van hoop, liefde en omgee deur Suid-Afrika te stuur. Radio Tygerberg het sy opregte waardering uitgespreek teenoor die Kunstekaap, die hoofborg Brights Hardware en al die ander vennote, vrywilligers, kunstenaars, tegniese spanne en diensverskaffers wat gehelp het om die dag moontlik te maak. "Hierdie dag was soveel groter as 'n konferensie; dit was 'n ontmoeting met God. Ons glo die impak van Sis'ters 2026 sal lank ná die laaste lied voortleef — in huise, gesinne, kerke en gemeenskappe waar hierdie vroue elke dag leef en dien," sê Janse van Rensburg. Radio Tygerberg sien reeds uit na volgende jaar se Sis'terskonferensie en bedank elke vrou wat deel was van 'n dag waarop geloof versterk, harte aangeraak en ware vryheid gevier is.
itterboom prevents 94 tons of waste from entering Black River A partnership between the City of Cape Town and environmental non-profit organisation The Litterboom Project (TLP) has prevented nearly 94 tons of waste from flowing into the Atlantic Ocean. Between March and June 2026 three litterbooms in the Black River system intercepted 93 963 kg of waste before it could reach the ocean. Eight full-time river wardens monitored and maintained the waste interceptors daily while also carrying out clean-up operations across four priority waterways.
WASTE INTERCEPTED BEFORE REACHING OCEAN The City’s grant restored full-time operations at the Jakkelsvlei, Bloemvlei Canal and Vygieskraal Canal litterboom sites, while also establishing full-time waste interception at the Bokmakierie Canal. The initiative forms part of the City’s efforts to tackle pollution in waterways before waste can make its way downstream and ultimately into the Atlantic. City Mayco member for Water and Sanitation, Zahid Badroodien, said the results demonstrated the value of partnerships in tackling pollution. “Intercepting nearly 94 tons of waste before it reaches the ocean shows the undeniable power of our partnerships on the ground,” he said. “Interceptors and dedicated river wardens are essential, but to protect our catchments for the long term, we must run a dual-track strategy.” CITY TARGETS ROOT CAUSES OF POLLUTION Badroodien said the City was also focusing on the socioeconomic factors contributing to waste in high-density communities. “Alongside our ongoing infrastructure efforts with
PROJECT INTERCEPTS POLLUTION IN WATERWAYS
partners like The Litterboom Project we are focusing on the socio-economic drivers of waste in high-density areas,” he said. He said initiatives such as waste-for-goods swap shops and the expansion of the recycling market could provide residents with economic incentives while helping to keep waterways clean. “By expanding Urban Waste Management initiatives like waste-for-goods swop shops led by the City and unlocking the broader recycling market, we can turn river protection into direct economic value for our residents,” said Badroodien. “It takes both dedicated
containment and communitydriven incentives to keep our waterways clean.” PARTNERSHIP CREATES JOBS AND SUPPORTS RECYCLING The initiative has also delivered benefits beyond waste interception. Recyclable materials recovered through the programme were diverted from landfill and incorporated into new products through TLP’s circular economy programme. The grant also sustained eight local employment opportunities, combining environmental protection with socio-economic benefits.

Nagmerrie-ervaring met Women who shape our stories Sassa-aansoek THINKING OUT LOUD
On 9 August 1956, 20 000 women marched through the streets of Pretoria with a simple yet powerful message: “Wathint’ Abafazi, Wathint’ Imbokodo — you strike a woman, you strike a rock”. This happened long before I was born. I was fortunate enough to be raised by another remarkable woman: my own mother. She taught me resilience, compassion and quiet strength, not through speeches, but through the example she set every single day. Women like her, and the thousands who marched before her, helped shape the world we have the privilege of living in today. I say this without taking anything away from the brave men and fathers who also have a special place in our lives. But Sunday belonged to the women who have carried families, communities, businesses and our country forward, often without fanfare and always with extraordinary courage.
..
THEY HELP ALL OF US NAVIGATE IT WITH WISDOM, EMPATHY AND DETERMINATION
..
To the women of 1956 who marched and refused to be silenced, and to the women of today who continue to embody that same spirit: thank you. You are the rock upon which so much is built, and you continue to shape our world for the better. I see that strength every day. The journalists chasing stories before dawn. The sales teams opening doors and building trusted relationships. The editors shaping narratives with precision and heart. The digital teams growing audiences across the country. So many of them are women, and so much of our success rests on their talent, resilience, leadership and unwavering commitment. As we navigate constant change in our industry and in the world around us, it is often the women in our business who remind me what courage truly looks like. They don’t simply adapt to change; they help all of us navigate it with wisdom, empathy and determination. To every woman in our organisation, our industry and across South Africa: thank you. You are not simply part of the story. You are the story. Stories of hope. Of heart. Of perseverance. Of inspiration. Of purpose. I see those stories in extraordinary women doing seemingly ordinary things every day: showing up, lifting others, solving problems, leading with grace and doing what needs to be done. Today, and every day, I salute you. ESMÉ SMIT, NovaNews * Esmé Smit is General Manager of Novus Media.
Op 26 Junie het ek 60 geword en begin met my aansoek om 'n Sassa-pensioentoelae. Op 19 Junie besoek ek Sassa se Bellville-kantoor naby Nobelpark — met al die nodige dokumente, gereed in my hand. By ontvangs word 'n papier oor die toonbank geskuif met al die nodige dokumente afgemerk wat ek benodig. Nadat ek die amptenaar ingelig het ek wil aansoek doen om 'n toelae, word ek aangesê om Maandag 21 Junie terug te kom. Let wel, net 'n handjievol mense het in daardie stadium gewag om gehelp te word. Op 21 Junie daag ek om 07:00 op en gaan na die ingang waar 'n sekuriteitsbeampte my voorkeer. Ek wys hom die papier wat ek die vorige Vrydag van 'n beampte gekry het en word toegelaat om op 'n stoel by die ingang te sit. Tussen halfnege en nege-uur word die aansoekers ingelig dat slegs diegene met 'n afspraak gehelp gaan word. Die res moet afsprake maak. Weer eens terug in 'n ry vir 'n afspraak. Tydens my beurt om 'n afspraak te maak, lig ek die beampte in dat ons nuwe aansoekers onkundig is met die prosedure en sy my al die vorige Vrydag van 'n afspraakdatum kon voorsien het of ingelig het dat ek eers een moet maak. Die afspraak word toe gemaak vir Maandag 20 Julie. Kwart voor ses neem ek my plek in die ry in — wat amper strek tot by Ou Paarlweg. Tussen die gesels deur verneem ek dat party mense daar geslaap het of al van 03:00 gearriveer het in die hoop om gehelp te
word. Teen 06:20 word ons ingedeel in drie groepe — navrae, vingerafdrukke en laastens, aansoekers. Aansoekers moet binne gaan sit en hul beurt afwag om 'n nommer te kry. Die ander twee groepe moet buite in die koue sit en wag. Teen omstreeks 15:00 besef ons dat ons nie voor 16:00, wat toemaaktyd is, gehelp gaan word nie. In daardie stadium was ons ongeveer 47 mense wat sit en wag. Net ná 16:00 het 'n beampte ons ingelig dat ons hele groep Vrydag 06:00 moet terugkom, dan sal ons gehelp word. Groen identiteitsboekies, wat wettig is, word ook nie meer aanvaar deur die nuwe stelsel nie en diegene wat dit het moet dus nuwe smart-identiteitskaarte kry voor hulle gehelp kan word. Aangesien ek Vrydag nie weer vir 'n hele dag daar kan sit nie, sal ek maar nog 'n tydjie sonder Sassa se inkomste moet klaarkom en sal my kinders hul moeder vir nog 'n rukkie moet onderhou. ‘n Sassa-aansoek is 'n absolute nagmerrie met 'n stelsel wat nie 100% werk nie, asook kantore wat onderbeman is. Dalk, as die ministers 'n slag uit hul aircon-kantore en luukse voertuie kom en 'n slag saam met Sassa-aansoekers in die donker, koue en soms reën in rye kom staan, sal hulle besef waardeur applikante vir 'n aalmoes moet gaan om darem vir 'n gedeelte van die maand te kan eet. LIZELLE STRYDOM, Bellville
Good service above and beyond We are often quick to write letters or post comments when public service falls short, but less inclined to acknowledge those who go the extra mile. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to subcouncil manager 3, Roxanne Moses, for her assistance during the recent upgrade of the Theo Marais Park boundary wall. The project initially caused unnecessary concern and frustration among residents due to shortcomings in public participation and communication. It was at this point that Roxanne's intervention proved invaluable. She took the time to meet with residents, listened to our concerns, and facilitated engagement between the project manager, the ward councillor Anthony Bernadie, and the community. Her calm, professional approach helped restore confidence in the process and ensured that all parties worked together towards a practical and mutually acceptable solution. As a result, the necessary repairs were completed promptly and efficiently, leaving residents satisfied with the outcome. Throughout the process, Roxanne demonstrated professionalism, responsiveness, integrity, and a genuine commitment to serving the community. Public servants who quietly make a positive difference seldom receive recognition. It is therefore only fitting that we acknowledge someone whose dedication, empathy, and willingness to engage have had such a meaningful impact. To Roxanne, thank you for reminding us that excellent public service is alive and well. STRETCH AND JYOTHI NAIDOO, Milnerton Ridge
Thank you Sixty60 driver for you kindness during break down I wanted to share a small but meaningful moment that reminded me just how much kindness still exists in our community. Last night I broke down on Jip de Jager near Loevenstein and found myself standing outside my car waiting for friends to come and help. Out of nowhere, a Checkers Sixty60 driver pulled over. He had already finished his shift and was heading home, but when he noticed me, he actually turned
back to come check on me. He asked if I was okay and when I explained that help was on the way, he still offered to stay with me until my friends arrived. I was honestly so touched that someone would take time out of their evening like that – not just to stop, but to genuinely care. I even worried that I might be delaying him, only for him to tell me he was already done for the day. What stayed with me most was what he said: “We
need to help one another.” Simple words, but he had already shown exactly what that means through his actions. It was such a powerful reminder that there are still good people out there — and that people, at their core, are good. I thought this small moment might be worth sharing, as a reminder of the kind of community we can be. LAUREN, E-mail
If you can’t fix it, tax it, is the City’s flawed modus operandi A new plan to fix one of Cape Town’s biggest problems [rail transport] demonstrates CoCT’s failures to plan for, let alone invest in land use, infrastructure and services. As with its property rates, electricity and other tariffs, traffic and parking charges and fines, etc. its only solution is to increase taxation. For years it has ignored or avoided sensible options. Like London, New York, San Francisco, it seeks to force citizens to use inconvenient or unaffordable transport
options. No mention is made of allowing minibus taxis to use MyCiTi bus corridors, encouraging ride sharing through autonomous vehicles using artificial intelligence to understand and optimise road usage patterns, decentralising public services to the communities that they are supposed to serve and promoting distributed commercial and industrial nodes to be closer to residential areas. God help taxpaying residents if bureaucrats manage
to get control of Cape Town’s railways. Addictive taxation highlights is an economic feedback loop in which governments become financially dependent on revenues generated from systemic revenue collected by any and all means. While those commuting between their downtown executive suites and Winelands retreats will not care too much, this is just another nail in the financial coffin of the average Capetonian.

A
fter months of uncertainty over an emergency evacuation and a shortage of specialised polar diesel the SA Agulhas II has finally set sail from Cape Town for Marion Island, marking the return of South Africa’s scientific research team to the remote sub-Antarctic island. The vessel is carrying the 83rd Marion Island Overwintering Team, known as M83, which comprises about 20 scientists, researchers and specialists who will spend the next eight months continuing South Africa’s research programmes on the island. The voyage follows the temporary closure of the Marion Island research base at the end of May after the annual resupply and team rotation mission was disrupted by a shortage of polar diesel. Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment David Maynier was led the official send-off of the SA Agulhas II on Monday 3 August, as the vessel prepared to resume the mission. Maynier said the department had worked to ensure the team could return to Marion Island after they were evacuated earlier this year. “The department has pulled out all the stops to ensure that our team get back to Marion Island after being evacuated earlier this year because of a shortage of polar diesel,” he said. “Of course, we’ll have our scientists returning, about 20 scientists, who will be contributing to world-class research programmes.” FUEL CRISIS FORCED EVACUATION The return of the team comes after the previous base was temporarily closed following an increasingly difficult fuel situation. TygerBurger previously reported the SA Agulhas II was initially expected to leave Cape Town earlier in the year to relieve researchers who had been stationed on Marion Island since April 2025. However, the mission was delayed after the vessel only received a shipment of the specialised polar diesel
“Of course, we’ll have our scientists returning, about 20 scientists” - David Maynier required for Antarctic and subAntarctic operations on 1 May. The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment attributed the delay primarily to a global scarcity of fuel products linked to geopolitical developments in the Middle East. At the time, the research base had enough polar diesel reserves to last until around 20 May, while food supplies were expected to last for approximately two months. Backup petrol generators and nine stocked research huts were also available across the island to support emergency requirements if necessary. The newly delivered polar diesel also had to undergo testing and mixing to ensure it would not crystallise or freeze in the extreme cold conditions experienced in the region. The fuel crisis ultimately led to the evacuation of personnel from the island and the temporary closure of the research base, putting the annual handover of researchers on hold. With the SA Agulhas II now under way, the M83 team will take over the next phase of the island’s research programme. The team includes members from the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, the South African Weather Service, the South African National Space Agency, the South African Polar Research Infrastructure and BirdLife South Africa’s Mouse-Free Marion Project. Their work will contribute to South Africa’s internationally respected scientific programmes in the Southern Ocean, covering environmental, meteorological and wildlife research. Marion Island, situated about 1 920km southeast of Cape Town, is an uninhabited, rocky island covering approximately 290 square kilometres. Despite its remote location, it is an important base for longterm environmental and meteorological research.

Dance company trace the line
I
ndependent dance company WGRUV returns to Cape Town's District Six Homecoming Centre from 27 to 29 August with a new programme, Highlights: Tracing the Line, following the successful run of its 2026 season opener Juxtapose in Johannesburg and Gqeberha. The programme brings works by internationally acclaimed choreographer Jessica Lang, Jesse Obremski, Michael Trusnovec and WGRUV's own Holly and Lex Gruver together. Lang's neo-classical craftsmanship has defined a generation of ballet,
while Obremski's movement language explores human connection, and Trusnovec is known for sculptural clarity and quiet power. The Gruvers' collaborative choreographic voice continues to develop its own distinct character. Highlights combines audience favourites with new discoveries, brought to life by WGRUV's artists with the precision and passion the company is known for. The works explore the fundamental language of the body, line, colour, weight and meaning in a programme designed to be felt as much as watched.

Nasionale netbalaksie by Stellenberg TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS Die SPAR Nasionale Netbalkampioenskap het van 5 tot 11 Augustus by die Hoërskool Stellenberg plaasgevind, met senior- en o.21-distrikspanne van oor Suid-Afrika heen wat sake op die baan uitgespook het. Botswana en Namibië het vanjaar ook as uitnodigingspanne aan vriendskaplike
wedstryde in die Senior A-afdeling deelgeneem. Die jaarlikse kampioenskap is ’n belangrike plek waar spelers hul talent kan wys, met talle huidige en voormalige SPAR Proteas wat oor die jare daar 'n indruk gemaak het. Die toernooi het ook ondersteuners en gaste na Stellenberg gelok.

Teen crowned world champ
LISE BEYERS 16-year-old Reddam House Durbanville learner has become the under-17 pentathlon world champion and world-record holder. Tatiana Thomatos won gold at the 2026 UIPM Pentathlon u-17 World Championships in Kaunas, Lithuania, with a finish just two points ahead of her nearest rival. Competing against 158 athletes from 32 countries, Thomatos scored 1 463 points, surpassing the previous world record of 1 452 points set by Egypt's Farida Khalil at the 2025 championships in Johannesburg. The Grade 10 learner began strongly in the fencing discipline, finishing second, before performances in the obstacle race

and swimming kept her in contention going into the laser run — the final and often decisive part of the competition. Thomatos combined calm shooting with a courageous run to cross the finish line first, ahead of Türkiye's Tulya Kesebir in second and Great Britain's Jemima Chetwood in bronze. The victory continues a remarkable rise through the international ranks for Thomatos, who won the inaugural u-15 Tetrathlon World Championship in Guatemala in 2024 and earned individual bronze at the u-17 World Championships in Johannesburg in 2025.

RACE CELEBRATES WOMEN, FITNESS AND COMMUNITY
Jerono wins
K
enya's Daisilah Jerono celebrated her South African racing debut in style, claiming gold at the Totalsports Women's Race Cape Town in 31:29, as she joined thousands of women in celebrating National Women's Day on Sunday, 9 August. Currently ranked No 7 in the world for the half marathon in 2026, following her impressive 1:05:21 performance in Berlin, Jerono is also the second-fastest Kenyan over the distance this year. With the goal of bettering her personal best, Jerono achieved just that while claiming the top spot on the podium. "The race was tough. It was windy, with a few ups and downs, but I am happy to have run today," says Jerono. "This is my first time in South Africa. I didn't come with the idea of winning; I came to see where I am in my training. The runners were so cheerful, and I really liked how they cheered for us. I am so happy to win today. I was not expecting it; it's by God's grace. God willing, maybe I'll come back next year." Fellow campatriot Faith Cherono came in second, while Neheng Khatala of Lesotho finished third. The 2026 Totalsports Women's Race Cape Town attracted 10 000 entrants, bringing women of all ages and abilities together to celebrate women, fitness and community while supporting PinkDrive. Reflecting on a memorable day of racing, Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports, praised both the elite performances and the incredible spirit shown by thousands of participants. "Congratulations to Daisilah Jerono on a truly outstanding performance. The

“I really liked how they cheered for us.” - Daisilah Jerono standard of elite racing at this year's Totalsports Women's Race Cape Town was exceptional, with an exciting display of talent and determination from start to finish," says Meyer. "It was equally inspiring to see thousands of women take to the streets to celebrate Women's Month, support PinkDrive and embrace the spirit of this iconic event. We look forward to taking the celebration to Joburg on 16 August, where we'll bring another chapter to what has already been an incredible Women's Month."
