School transfer applications open T

he Western Cape Education Department (WCED) opened its school transfer applications on 3 August, for learners in Grades 2 to 7 and 9 to 12. Applications will run until 17 August for the 2027 school year. Department spokesperson Bronagh Hammond, said those wanting to move their child next year should submit their applications during this period and advised that the application process has been adjusted. Parents need to check whether they should apply online or directly at a school or district office, depending on their circumstances. Online applications are available only to learners who meet specific transfer criteria. Parents whose situations do not qualify will need to apply directly to the school they want their child to attend. WHO CAN APPLY ONLINE Parents may submit an online transfer application if any of the following apply: The learner has reached the highest grade offered by their current school, such as a school that only goes up to Grade 3 or Grade 9. A parent or caregiver has moved employment to another area, making a school change necessary. The family has moved home to a different area. Online applications can be submitted through the WCED admissions website at admissions.westerncape.gov.za. Parents who have not used the system before will need to create an account first.

. .

WHEN TO APPLY DIRECTLY AT A SCHOOL Parents who want to move their child purely because they prefer another school, and who do not meet any of the online criteria, must apply directly to the school of their choice using a hard-copy transfer request form.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT OPENS 2027 SCHOOL TRANSFERS UNTIL 17 AUGUST Certain applications must also be submitted in hard copy at the school only, due to their sensitive nature. These include cases where: There is a documented concern about the learner's safety, wellbeing or protection; the learner needs access to medical or psychological treatment that is not reasonably available near their current school, and supporting documents must accompany the application; or the learner is a ward of the State under the care of an appointed guardian or statutory authority. Transfer request forms are available from the Resources section of the admissions website, schools and district offices. Parents and caregivers will need to supply the following supporting documents: The learner's latest school report. An ID, birth certificate, passport, study permit, proof of application or police affidavit. Proof of residential address or a police affidavit. GRADE R, 1 AND 8 ADMISSIONS The department said schools are currently finalising admission lists and confirming placements for Grade R, Grade 1 and Grade 8 learners for 2027. Parents who have not yet applied for these grades are urged to contact their district office. The online admissions platform for Grade R, 1 and 8 applications is currently closed. Visit westerncape.gov.za/education or call the WCED on 0861 819 919 and select option 1 for admissions.

Pedestrian killed in hit-and-run on Koeberg Road RICHARD ROBERTS A 21-year-old man appeared in the Cape Town Magistrates’ Court last Thursday following his alleged involvement in a hit-and-run incident in Milnerton, two days before which claimed the life of a woman. Milnerton police spokesperson Capt Nopaya Madyibi said the man is facing charges of culpable homicide following his arrest on Tuesday 4 August. The incident occurred earlier the day at the corners of Koeberg and Blaauberg road. “It is alleged that the 30-year-old deceased female was crossing the road at the Astron Reﬁnery

in Milnerton when a black BMW came down the MyCiti bus lane at a high speed and knocked her. He failed to stop. “A witness in the area chased the driver and caught the suspect,” says Madyibi. The man was then arrested by Milnerton police officers. The woman was declared deceased at the scene. The Western Cape police’s office has conﬁrmed that a case of culpable homicide had been opened following the hit-and-run and said the investigation is ongoing.

FROM PAGE 1 To honour Dyokwe, the community held a memorial service on Sunday followed by a march. “Like Sino, people — many, if not most of them, women — live in fear of extortionists every day. Why then does the SAPS not want to take the hand of capable DA governments to help fight the scourge?” Gotsell said. Gotsell said the accused had attempted to hide his face during his first court appearance and his attorney again opposed media coverage of the proceedings. The magistrate dismissed the application to prevent the proceedings from being filmed, saying the accused’s face was visible to those in the gallery regardless.

extortion. “Our communities live in fear of these extortionists every day,” he said, calling for people to come forward and report threats while urging authorities to ensure police have the resources to act against extortion syndicates. Gotsell said everyone who planned, facilitated or carried out such crimes must be brought to book. The allegations against the accused have not been proven in court.

EXTORTION FEARS DEEPEN Gotsell said Dyokwe’s murder was about more than one person, raising concerns about whether organised extortion syndicates were attempting to intimidate community leaders and interfere with democratic participation. Gotsell also referred to reports of two more people being murdered in Witsand in incidents believed to be linked to

Ward 113 councillor Sue van der Linde said she was aware of the outage and was working to ensure the extent of the disruption was brought to Eskom’s attention. Residents urged to share fault references Van der Linde urged residents who had already logged faults with Eskom to send her their reference numbers, together with their addresses. She said this information could be added to an Eskom management group she is part of, allowing the extent of the outage to be highlighted. “I am aware of the power outage affecting Donken Avenue and the

Litterboom catches A woman brings hope to little paws 94 tons of waste

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.” Badroodien said the City was also

PROJECT INTERCEPTS POLLUTION IN WATERWAYS focusing on the socio-economic factors contributing to waste in high-density communities. “Alongside our ongoing infrastructure efforts with partners like The Litterboom Project we are focusing on the socioeconomic drivers of waste in high-density areas,” he said. He said initiatives such as waste-forgoods 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-forgoods 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 community-driven incentives to keep our waterways clean.” PARTNERSHIP CREATES JOBS 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 socioeconomic benefits.

TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS While 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. IT STARTED WITH WHAT SHE SAW Diedricks’ journey into animal rescue started about two-and-a-half 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. “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.

Mills calls for responsible support KAILIN DANIELS

KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

omelessness is a complex challenge and Ward 107 councillor Jonathan Mills says long-term solutions need more than just removing people from hotspots. He said homelessness was a systemic issue connected to a range of social factors, including addiction, mental health challenges, family estrangement and personal trauma. According to Mills, the City continues to respond to homelessness through clean-ups, attending known hotspots and supporting community organisations working in affected areas. “Homelessness is a systemic problem that no liberal country, no matter how wealthy or not, has solved,” he said. “The issue is connected to everything from addiction to mental health, estranged families and personal traumas.” He said the situation was complicated by well-meaning residents who give food, shelter or money without connecting people to programmes aimed at addressing the underlying causes of homelessness. “But just because we can't wish it away, we don't ignore it either. We will continue to attend the hotspots, we will continue to clean, we will continue to support community groups — and we will not

stop,” he said. Mills also acknowledged the difficulty of managing public spaces where people experiencing homelessness may move from one location to another following patrols or clean-up operations. “The homeless are also very resourceful — when we patrol one spot they go to another, when we go there they come back,” he said. He added that law enforcement resources were limited, with officers also required to respond to emergencies and other incidents. “Law enforcement cannot be on every corner at every moment, and they cannot stop attending to emergency calls to watch land while it is empty,” he said. SHELTER PLANS IN PROGRESS Mills rejected suggestions that the City was simply ignoring the issue, pointing to ongoing interventions in Ward 107. “If the City was really doing nothing, this area would have been over-run years ago,” he said. He said illegal structures reported to him in Ward 107 were generally removed within a relatively short period. “I can say that there is not a single illegal structure on the streets of Ward 107 which has been reported to me that has been there more than a month — and most

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.

Sewer upgrades aim to protect rivers DESIRÉE RORKE DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA

The City of Cape Town is tackling the river and coastline pollution that has plagued Cape Town for years, by replacing aging pipes with larger mains designed to handle a growing population and cut overflows. For years, sewage orginating from Wallacedene has flown into Mosselbank River through the suburb of Kraaifontein, past Durbanville and downstream into Milnerton lagoon and the ocean; and to the south-east, it flows from the Botfontein canal into Bottelary River, at the back of Brackenfell into Kuils River, downstream to Macassar and into the ocean, polluting agricultural and residential areas along their way, as reported by TygerBurger for close to a decade. The City last week announced that its Water and Sanitation Directorate has been upgrading all 225 metres of asbestos cement sewers to 300mm diameter uPVC Class collector mains across four phases, totalling 1,6km of new pipeline. Three phases are already complete, the fourth is scheduled to begin this month and wrap up by December. According to the City, the upgrades significantly improve the conveyance capacity of the sewer network, reducing the risk of surcharge events and adding capacity to support future growth in the catchment area. This includes additional wastewater flows from Wallacedene, which saw heavy land invasions during the Covid-19 pandemic that strained existing infrastructure. The R2,4 million first phase, between 10th and 12th avenues, was completed on 30 June 2025. Phase 2, covering 8th to 10th avenues, cost R7,3 million and was finished on 7 April 2026.

The third phase, from 3rd to 5th avenues, cost R7 million and was completed by 31 July this year. The fourth and final phase, from 3rd Avenue to Plantation Road and into Voortrekker Road, carries a price tag of R7,3 million and is scheduled to begin this month (August), with completion expected by December. The project used open-trench construction, where the existing pipeline is excavated, removed and replaced with a larger one. The method completely replaces old infrastructure, increases hydraulic capacity for current and future flows, and is cost-effective. New sewer manholes were built at strategic points along the route for future inspection, cleaning and maintenance, while existing manholes were upgraded or connected into the new system. Other work included excavating and disposing of unsuitable clay, providing proper pipe bedding and backfill, reinstating roads and sidewalks, managing live sewer flows during construction, relocating affected underground services, and testing the new pipeline for watertightness and operational performance. According to the City, the completed upgrades have significantly improved the conveyance capacity of the sewer network in Belmont Park, reducing the risk of surcharge events and providing additional capacity to support future development and growth within the catchment area. "Once completed, a total of 1,6km of sewer pipelines will be upgraded, significantly improving the reliability of the network in Belmont Park," says Mayco member for water and sanitation, Zahid Badroodien.

Brander Park gets indigenous trees KAILIN DANIELS

KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

MILKWOODS PLANTED AS PART OF ADOPT-A-TREE PROGRAMME

rander Park in Bloubergrant is becoming greener, with 10 indigenous Milkwood trees planted as part of the City of Cape Town’s Adopta-Tree Programme recently. The new trees are expected to provide shade, support local biodiversity and contribute to a greener and more resilient neighbourhood as they grow. The planting also highlights the importance of community involvement in caring for Cape Town’s public green spaces, with the Friends of Brander Park thanked for their ongoing stewardship and volunteer efforts.

more than simply putting trees in the ground. These indigenous Milkwoods will provide shade, support biodiversity and contribute to a greener, more resilient neighbourhood for years to come,” she said. Higham also acknowledged the Friends of Brander Park for their commitment to maintaining the space and encouraged residents to play a role in protecting newly planted trees. “The real legacy comes from protecting and caring for these trees so they can thrive for generations,” she said.

GROWING A GREENER COMMUNITY Mayco member for community services and health, Francine Higham, said planting trees was an investment in the future of communities. “Planting for the future is about

MORE ABOUT THE PARK Brander Park is a much-loved community park in Bloubergrant and is sometimes referred to as Brander Street Park or Bloubergrant Park. Brander means wave in Afrikaans.

Francine Higham during the planting of 10 indigenous Milkwood trees at Brander Park.

Bordered by Foam Road, Dolphin Drive and Brander Avenue, its proximity to the nearby Blouberg Beachfront should come as no surprise. Brander Park is a place where everybody is welcome. Residents and guests enjoy the beautiful open space to relax, play, exercise or simply meet their friends and neighbours. A children’s play area, five distinct gardens and two basketball courts add to the attraction and multi-functional use of Brander Park. It is also a popular space for people to walk their dogs. WORKING TOGETHER Ward councillor Jonathan Mills said the planting was another example of what could be achieved when the community and City work together to care for public spaces. “This is another public space in our community which is thriving through the community and City working together,” he said. Mills thanked the Friends of Brander Park volunteers for helping make the park a special place for residents and their dogs to relax and enjoy. The Friends of Brander Park have played an important role in the ongoing care and development of the green space, with volunteers helping to ensure it remains welcoming and well maintained.

The City is encouraging residents and community organisations interested in planting trees in their neighbourhoods to participate in the Adopt-a-Tree Programme. The programme provides an opportunity for communities

to contribute to greener public spaces while helping improve urban biodiversity and create healthier neighbourhoods. Residents interested in participating can apply through the City’s Adopt-a-Tree programme via https://tinyurl.com/3xrehrb7

Francine Higham and community representatives joined efforts to grow Brander Park’s urban forest with 10 indigenous trees.

New trees are set to provide shade and strengthen Brander Park’s green spaces for generations to come.

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.

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.

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.

SA Agulhas II sets sail for Marion KAILIN DANIELS

KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

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 Marion Island research base was temporarily closed following an increasingly difficult fuel situation. TygerBurger previously reported the SA

“Of course, we’ll have our scientists returning, about 20 scientists” - David Maynier 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 required for Antarctic and sub-Antarctic 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. M83 TEAM RESUMES RESEARCH 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

Marion Island takes about five days. For the M83 team, the voyage marks the long-awaited return to the island and the resumption of research after a challenging period that saw the previous team evacuated and the research base temporarily closed. The SA Agulhas II’s departure now puts the annual overwintering programme back on course, with the new team set to spend the coming months carrying out research in one of South Africa’s most remote scientific outposts.

Dance company trace the line

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.

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

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.

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

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."
