The Parow Community Policing Forum (CPF) has said it is deeply concerned about the act of violence which played out on Friday 15 August in the area in which an adult male lost his life

"We do not condone any form of violence in our community, and we stand firmly in support of efforts to ensure safety, justice,

and peace for all residents "Incidents like this are a stark reminder of the challenges we face and the urgent need for continued collaboration between community members, local organisations, and law enforcement partners," said CPF chair Bronwin Daniels Daniels was referring to the shooting incident in Francie

van Zijl Drive, Parow in which a father was gunned down The incident occurred metres away from the entrance to the Tygerberg Hospital

Daniels said the matter is currently under investigation and that as the CPF they are not in a position to comment on the details or speculate the possible motives

She said however that as the CPF they urge anyone with information that could assist in the investigation to report it via the appropriate platforms

A similar call was made by the Western Cape police who is currently investigating the matter

In an answering affidavit to the court case brought by the South African Property Owners Association (Sapoa) to have the three new fixed tariffs for Cape Town residents reviewed and set aside, Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis warns that scrapping them would leave the City with a billions of rand shortfall this financial year

The 300-page affidavit was filed in the Western Cape High Court on Monday 11 August

Sapoa in mid-July filed an urgent application in the Western Cape High Court, challenging the legality of the three new property-linked tariffs in Cape Town’s 2025-'26 budget Sapoa held that the cleaning levy and fixed water and sanitation charges based on property value unfairly burden ratepayers and infringes on property rights under Section 25 of the Constitution, along with setting a concerning precedent

They stated that the new tariffs do not comply with the Property Rates Act in that it is based on property values rather than actual use It says the charges are not a consumption-based fee, a basic surcharge, or a municipal tax, but rather a form of property rate that doesn’t meet legal requirements

Negating the argument Hill-Lewis stated that the City in determining the 2025- 26 budget fulfilled its constitutional obligation and that the tariffs are lawful and constitutionally sound

He says Sapoa’s case has no substantial legal grounds, as the tariffs are fair and rational, as well as being constitutional in that the metro has a constitutional duty to provide water, sanitation and cleaning services and to establish the right or levies to pay for them

Pointing to South Africa having the highest inequality in the world, he said, the budget encapsulates the principle of equality within the current social context "In an ideal world the City's revenue would meet all the City's needs, but this is not the case There are obvious tensions

“Thereareobvioustensions betweenpolicyprioritiesand financialrealities.

- Geordin Hill-Lewis

between policy priorities and financial realities," he stated

PROPERTYVALUESUSEDASMEASURE

The mayor says Sapoa does not argue that the tariffs are excessive and that the court application is therefore limited to one issue, namely that it is unlawful to link the fixed tariffs to property values

In this respect he argues that property values in this instance are merely used as a measure to determine the tariffs that are not in essence a property tax

He furthermore stated that municipalities across South Africa are caught in a financial vice, driven by rapidly growing populations and the urgent need to expand infrastructure to maintain basic services Without raising funds from residents, the only alternative is the decline and eventual collapse of public services and infrastructure

He said the tariffs are needed to set the city on a "new path" to combat poverty in the face of a massive population growth in Cape Town Hill-Lewis cited census data showing Cape Town’s population grew by 27% between 2011 and 2022, now officially at five million

He believes the true figure is higher due to undercounting in informal settlements, where over 1,2 million people live in some 800 such settlements with only shared taps or toilets

"I do not in any way wish to suggest that I regard concerns raised over the budget as trivial The concern which almost all residents in this country raise in relation to relentless increases in municipal bills, food and fuel is real and acknowledged by the City and has been taken into account "

The urgent court challenge is set to be heard on 17 and 18 September in the Western Cape High Court

Since early July, a new outbreak of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) has been confirmed in wild seabirds across the Western Cape

These are the first wild–bird detections in the province since April 2024 The public is therefore encouraged not to touch sick or dead birds and to report them to the authorities.

Wild seabirds infected with HPAI often develop neurological signs such as tremors, head twitches and seizures

Although HPAI occasionally infects mammals and humans, the risk to the public remains very low when basic precautions are followed

WHATISHPAI?

"High pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI), also known as bird flu, is a viral disease that causes rapid, severe illness in birds The type of HPAI affecting seabirds in South Africa is officially known as H5N1 clade 2 3 4 4b," the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (Sanccob) says

Asked which birds have been affected, Sanccob says at the beginning of August, most of the affected wild birds were Hartlaub’s gulls

"Cases have also been reported in Great White Pelicans, Grey-headed Gulls, Kelp gulls, Whitebreasted cormorants, Crowned Cormorants and Sacred Ibises Domestic chickens and ducks have also been affected "

Sanccob says they have played a leading role in response to this crisis

"Our priorities are: keeping our seabird hospitals safe from infection, supporting conservation authorities with wild

responder efforts, monitoring the impact on wild birds, and ensuring good animal welfare Our actions include surveillance, working with State Veterinary Services and conservation authorities to monitor and manage the disease, advising on response procedures, educating rehabilitation centres, veterinarians, and first responders, and arranging humane euthanasia for birds showing clinical signs "

Additionally, Sanccob actively engages the public through media outreach and education on how to report sick and dead birds safely, to help map the outbreak in real time

HOWCANTHEPUBLICTELLIFABIRDHASHPAI?

HPAI can only be confirmed through a laboratory (PCR) test At this time, any bird displaying any of the following signs should be suspected to be affected by the disease:

. Twitches or seizures;

. Unusual tameness;

. Cloudy eyes;

. Inability to walk or fly away

HOWCANTHEPUBLICHELP?

If you encounter a sick or dead wild bird, please report it Do not touch, feed, or attempt to rescue the bird yourself

Observe from a safe distance and record the following:

. The exact location (GPS coordinates are best, or an exact street address You can record the exact location on a smartphone mapping app, WhatsApp location pins work well);

. The date and time;

. Species (if you can identify it), clinical signs (tremors, unusual tameness, cloudy eyes), the number of birds affected;

BIRD FLU DETECTED IN SEABIRDS, SANCCOB SAYS

. Take a video and photograph of the bird;

. Report immediately via one of these channels: For seabirds: Sanccob: 021 557 6155 (landline) / 078 638 3731 (cellphone and WhatsApp)

. For birds that are not seabirds: Use the DFFE Avian Influenza Reporting Tool: https://arcg is/1585011 Sadly, affected birds cannot be treated The authorities will assist with arranging for humane euthanasia

"Your report helps us map the outbreak in real time and take swift action to protect other birds

“Do not handle sick or dead birds without authorisation Keep domestic poultry and pet birds away from wild birds Seek medical advice if you develop flu-like symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat) within 10 days of contact with a sick or dead bird, and inform your

Spanbestuurder van Parow bereik reuse

RICHARDROBERTS

RICHARD ROBERTS@NOVUSMEDIA CO ZA ’n Lid van die NTK-rugbyklub in ParowNoord het die afglope naweek n reuse mylpaal behaal - Arthur “Mr Manny” Reichhardt is nou reeds vir 50 wedstryde die eerste span se bestuurder, en is onlangs deur sy mede-spanlede beskryf as lojaal, passievol en iemand wat altyd die span aanmoedig

Die NTK-rugbyspan het op Saterdag 16 Augustus teen die Primrose-rugbyklub te staan gekom

Reichhardt sê dit neem n speler, afrigter of bestuurder gemiddeld so vier jaar om dié mylpaal te bereik “Ons is vanjaar geseënd dat drie mense hul 50ste gehaal het,” sê hy Sy storie

Reichhardt het vertel dat hy van 2009 tot 2019 vir 11 jaar verbonde was aan die Goodwood-rugbyklub Hier het hy onder meer afgerig, in die komitee gedien en as spanbestuurder opgetree, sowel as die klub verteenwoordig by die Westelike Provinsie Rugbyunie (WPRU) “Ek het by die WPRU se prysuitdeling in 2019 my WP-kleure ontvang vir vyf jaar diens as verteenwoordiger namens die klub, iets wat vir my n geweldige groot oomblik was Goodwood sal altyd diep in my hart wees, en ek is steeds op n goeie voet met die klub,” sê hy

Hy het in 2020 by die NTK-rugbyklub in Parow-Noord aangesluit ná gesprekke met bestuurslede van die klub Die aanbod was om die eerste spanbestuurder te word, asook die klub se verteenwoordiger te wees sowel as om in die komitee te dien “Die uitdaging was vir my ook gepas aangesien die klub in die Super A-liga meeding en ek graag die ondervinding wou opdoen van hoe dit in ´ n Super A-ligaopset is Die tyd was dus reg vir n skuif en ek wou dieper en groter gaan Ek is sedert 2020 die eerste span se bestuurder en is nou al ses jaar lank by die NTKrugbyklub,” sê hy Hy sê die Covid-19-pandemie het ongelukkig die span belemmer om in 2020, asook 2021, rugby te speel As dit nie vir daardie twee jare was nie, sou hy vandag meer as 70 toetse op sy kerfstok gehad

het, meen hy “Daardie twee jaar was vir my n laagtepunt, maar in daai twee jaar het ek die klub se geskiedenis opgebou in ons klubhuis Met my koms was daar amper niks, en nou is ons mure vol trotse geskiedenis - 23 Springbokke wat vir die klub gespeel het, se foto's pryk lewensgroot op ons mure asook nog vele meer geskiedenis oor die klub,” sê Reichhardt

HOOGTEPUNTE

Van 2022 tot 2025 het die span voluit gespeel, maar hier en daar is wedstryde misgeloop as gevolg van ander verpligtinge, sê hy "Ek was geseënd om deur die unie verkies te word om as skakelbeampte op te tree onder meer by die internasionale Wêreldbeker-sewes en die Challenger Cup 7s oor die tydperk, sê hy Reichhardt sê om by internasionale spanne betrokke te wees was vir hom ´ n reuse-hoogtepunt “Ek het dus sekere wedstryde misgeloop by die klub as gevolg hiervan ”

Ander hoogtepunte vir hom in die NTKrugbyklub is die mense wat hy ontmoet het, en vriendskappe en bande wat hy gevorm het, nie net by die klub nie, maar ook ander klubs “Ek het geweldig baie vriende in hierdie kringe Dit het nie altyd wen-gewys goedgegaan met ons nie, maar wentoernooie wat vir my uitstaaan is die een teen Brackenfell-rugbyklub wat ons in swaar reën gewen het Verlede naweek teen my ou klub Goodwood was ook spesiaal ” Van die lekkerste plekke om te speel, sê hy, sluit in die Danie Craven-stadion teen die Maties, Villagers, Hamilton en nog vele om te noem “Die moeilikste plekke om te wen is die SK Walmers en Valsbaai

"Maar die beste plek bly maar tuis vir my ” Reichhardt is getroud met Joni en hulle het n eenjarige seuntjie

“Joni is die grootste motiveerder en ondersteuner, asook ons seun Ek werk dus volstoom, ter wille van hulle Dit is my dryfkrag,” sê Reichhardt

Hy sê hy het deur rugby baie geleer in die lewe en geleenthede gekry "Jy leer ook baie oor jouself Dis nie altyd 'n maklike pad nie, en soms voel 'n mens baie alleen

Dit is 'n geweldige opoffering om Maandae, Dinsdae en Donderdae te oefen en op 'n Saterdag te speel Dit neem baie gesinstyd in beslag en dis vir my die swaarste en moeilikste van die storie, om weg van my vrou en kind te wees Maar, dan verstaan my vrou ook ons doelwitte, en die redes daaragter, so sy ondersteun my ten volle " DROME

Hy sê rugby het vir hom baie gegee, maar ook geneem "Ek is geweldig dankbaar en dit is in my bloed Ek is 'n ware dienaar van die spel en doen dit met passie en oorgawe," sê hy

Sy grootste droom is steeds om eendag spanbestuurder vir die WP te word "Ek wil ook die voorste spanbestuurder in klubrugby wees, dis iets wat jou spelers bepaal, seker deur hoe jy hulle behandel en wat jy vir hulle doen," meen hy

“Do not let your past determine your future.”

This was the main message shared with a group of women at a Women's Day event held on Friday 15 August at the Lighthouse Christian Centre in Voortrekker Road, Parow, by keynote speaker Rachel Marcus from Radio Tygerberg 104FM

Marcus shared her life-story with the women and where she came from She encouraged women to put their past behind them, to not be defined by their past or their mistakes, but to move forward

She explained how she became a young single mother at 19 years, the loss of her husband in 2011 and her relationship with a drug addict Marcus further encouraged women not to wear a mask, reminded them that God can see right through it, and emphasised that they should not let people define who they are Kim Appollis from the non-profit organisation John 617, another guest speaker, also encouraged women to put their past behind them and said that no matter what you have been through or are facing today, as a woman you have the power to rise above it

"As women, we are often expected to be caregivers, nurturers and selfless But I want to remind you that self-care is not selfish, it is essential Take care of yourself, prioritise your well-being and invest in your own being

"Let us rise up, lets shatter the chains of oppression, break the cycles of pain and forge our own paths Let us celebrate our wins, support each other's journeys and uplift one another's voices," she said

To those struggling with addiction, she

RACHEL MARCUS SHARES LIFE STORY

said, you are not alone

"You are not defined by your struggles Addiction may have taken control, but you have the power to take it back You have the strength to rise above, to seek help and to heal You are not your addiction, you are a warrior, a survivor You have a story to tell, a voice to be heard and a life to live

"Do not give up, even if it gets tough Keep pushing forward one step at a time

"Remember, recovery is possible and healing is real "

ABUSE

Appollis also spoke to those women who are trapped in abusive relationships, and reminded them again that they are not alone and that they are also not to blame

"Abuse can take many forms, physical, emotional or verbal But no matter what, you have the strength to break free, you have the power to reclaim your voice, your autonomy and your life

"Remember, abuse is never your fault You may feel trapped, but there is help

There are people who care, who support and who believe in you

“Reach out, ask for help and take the first step towards freedom You deserve a life, free from abuse You have the power to create a better future for yourself," says Appollis

To the females maybe carrying guilt and shame she also reminded that they are not defined by their past, that they are not bound by their mistakes, that they are free to rise above, to forgive themselves and to start anew

"Guilt and shame may weigh you down,

but they do not dictate your worth You are worthy of love, forgiveness and redemption You are worthy of a life unencumbered of the weight of other's expectations or your own self criticism

“Remember you are a human, you are perfect and you are deserving of compassion, kindness and understanding, from yourself most of all Let go of the guilt, release the shame and step into the light of self-love and acceptance You are enough, you are strong, and worthy of every ounce of love and forgiveness you can offer yourself Your pain may be real, but it does not define you," says Appollis Past Derick Schroeder of the Lighthouse Christian Centre welcomed everyone and opened the service with prayer He also applauded the three different partners, Voortrekker Road Corridor Improvement District, Parow police and Radio Tygerberg, for all coming together to arrange the event

Gardner as Magda Louw by Die Boer

Desiree Gardner kom maak eersdaags as Magda Louw 'n draai op Die Boerteaterrestaurant se verhoog. Haar vertoning (K)Letterkunde sal van Donderdag 28 tot Saterdag 30 Augustus om 20:30, en op Sondag 31 Augustus om 14:00, op die planke wees.

Magda Louw, die kletskous sonder ‘n wag voor haar mond, gesels oor die waarde en waansin van woorde Van lag en treur in jou hartstaal, en die dinge wat ons soms sê wat eerder net ’n gedagte moes bly Sy't iets te sê oor die daaglikse uitdrukkings, gesegdes en idiome waarmee ons soms

situasies ontlont Van haar kop in ‘n byenes steek tot op die hond se stert staan, speel sy oop kaarte sonder om heuning om enigiemand se mond te smeer

Magda kan nie ’n les in letterkunde gee nie, maar wat sy wel aanbied, is 'n les in “kletterkunde” Sy vra die vrae waaroor sy self wonder: In watter taal droom jy? Waar kom sekere gesegdes vandaan en hoe maak 'n mens as jy en jou lewensmaat en/of kinders verskillende weergawes van dieselfde taal praat?

‘Oupa’wordMarvelbynuwehuis

KAILINDANIELS

KAILIN DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA CO ZA

Wanneer jy na Adriaan Nieuwenhuizen (39) van Parklands luister, besef jy gou dat sy lewenspad vol diens, geloof en hoop is Maar deesdae is daar een naam wat sy storie oorheers – Marvel, sy reddingshond, sy beste vriend en sy grootste seën

In Oktober 2024 het Adriaan ’n eenvoudige uitstappie na ’n aannemingsdag vir honde in Durbanville onderneem Hy het nie toe geweet dat sy lewe daardie dag onherroeplik sou verander nie

“Marvel het my nie eens ’n keuse gegee nie,” vertel hy met ’n glimlag “Hy het sommer self besluit ek is sy mens Hy het vir vyf ure lank net langs my gelê, terwyl ander honde om hom speel en blaf Hy het nie van my af beweeg nie – asof hy van die begin af geweet het ons behoort saam ” Daardie aand het Adriaan onmiddellik begin reëlings tref om Marvel huis toe te bring Drie weke later, op Swart Vrydag, was dit amptelik – Marvel het sy nuwe huis en sy nuwe lewe gekry

VANPYNNAWONDER

Marvel se oorspronklike naam was Oupa, ’n weerspieëling van sy rustige aard Maar sy storie was allesbehalwe maklik As hondjie is hy mishandel, selfs deur sy eie ma, en hy het wonde gehad wat sy swaar verlede verraai het

Adriaan het gevoel ’n nuwe begin vra ’n nuwe naam – iets wat sy krag, oorlewing en unieke gees kon vasvang Hy het op Marvel besluit, ’n naam wat wonder en miracle beteken “Hy is regtig my miracle dog, ” sê Adriaan “Hy het soveel trauma oorleef en tog sy liefdevolle hart behou Marvel is vir my ’n geskenk ” Marvel is meer as net ’n troeteldier –hy’s ’n karakter op sy eie Sy stokperdjies sluit in roadtrips, bal speel, zoomies in die park, knuffels, slaap en natuurlik

KIES SELF SY BAAS BY AANNEMING

lekkernye Hy is beskermend en dapper, maar ook snaaks en speels

“Hy het ’n manier om mense te laat lag, selfs wanneer hulle hartseer is Marvel kan my gedagtes lees – net soos ek syne verstaan Hy is my veilige plek,” vertel

Adriaan

AGTERGROND

Adriaan sê sy wortels lê in Bloemfontein, "maar in 2014 het ek ’n pad begin stap wat my lewe vir altyd sou verander " Hy het daardie jaar ses maande by Youth With A Mission (YWAM) betrokke geraak – ’n sendingorganisasie wat ’n verskil maak deur gemeenskapsuitreike, deur mense te help, hoop te bring en eenvoudig liefde uit te leef "Hierdie tyd het my perspektief verander en my hart oopgemaak vir mense en gemeenskappe in nood "

Later daardie jaar tot in April 2015 was hy vir ’n paar maande in Pakistan, "waar ek die kans gehad het om eerstehands te sien hoe groot die impak van diens en omgee kan wees Ná my tyd daar het ek weer in Bloemfontein gaan stilstaan om dinge uit te sorteer en myself reg te kry vir die volgende hoofstuk van my lewe "

In April 2015 het hy die geleentheid gekry om Kaapstad sy nuwe tuiste te maak "My eerste stop was in Muizenberg, toe na Plattekloof om nader aan my werk te wees, en uiteindelik het ek my in 2016 in Parklands gaan vestig "

Dieselfde jaar het hy betrokke geraak by ’n kerk in Kaapstad "Daar het ek aanvanklik by die jeugbediening (gr 6 tot 9) begin werk, en later ook gemeenskapsprojekte Dit was juis deur hierdie betrokkenheid dat ek met TLC in Table View paaie gekruis het Ek is ongelooflik dankbaar vir tannie Colleen, die hoof van TLC, wat deure vir my oopgemaak het en my die kans gegee het om werklik deel te van die gemeenskap te wees TLC doen fantastiese werk - nie net in Table View nie, maar regdeur die Weskus-omgewing Ek het gesien hoe mense se lewens daardeur aangeraak en verander word," sê Adriaan

As hy terugkyk, besef hy dat elke stap – van Bloemfontein, na sy sendingwerk tot Kaapstad – hom gevorm het in wie hy vandag is "Ek dra groot dankbaarheid in my hart, en ek glo vas dat wanneer jong mense of matrikulante betrokke raak by ’n uitreik soos TLC, dit nie net die gemeenskap raak nie, maar ook hul eie lewens op ’n diep en blywende manier verander "

MARVELSESPEELPARADYS

Toe Marvel by Adriaan se lewe aansluit, het hulle verskeie parke uitgetoets

Maar eers toe hulle Brander Park in Bloubergstrand ontdek, het dit gevoel soos “huis”

“Dis groter, ruimer en vol lewe Marvel

het sy eerste vriendin, Jasna, daar ontmoet – en van daardie dag af was dit sy gunstelingpark,” sê Adriaan Marvel se sosiale kring het gou gegroei: Harry en Buddy, die golden retrieverbroers; Murphy, Siri, Sophie, Shaggy, Zoey en vele meer Elke hond het hy op sy eie manier hanteer – soms rof en speels, ander kere sag en rustig “Brander Park is waar hy sy gelukkigste herinneringe gemaak het ”

’NNUWEREISSAAM

Adriaan en Marvel staan nou voor ’n groot verandering – ’n verhuising weg uit Kaapstad weens persoonlike omstandighede Dit is ’n moeilike besluit, maar een ding is seker: Marvel gaan saam “Ons skerm vir mekaar Hy hou my sterk wanneer ek af voel, en ek sorg dat hy veilig en geliefd is ” Adriaan droom daarvan om Marvel as ’n psigiatriese dienshond te laat oplei “Die opleiding is duur, maar ek weet dis die beste vir ons albei Hy het my gered; nou wil ek vir hom ook die beste toekoms gee ” Hy oorweeg om ’n BackaBuddy-blad te begin om die opleiding te finansier Intussen deel hy hul avonture op Instagram by @marvelous marvel2025

’NHONDWATMEERAS’NHONDIS

Vir Adriaan is Marvel nie net ’n troeteldier nie, maar ’n engel “Ek glo God het hom gestuur om oor my te waak en my te herinner dat ek nooit alleen is nie ” Met ’n diep dankbaarheid kyk hy terug na die Kaapse gemeenskap wat hom en Marvel verwelkom het “Ons gaan julle mis – elke vriend, elke stap in Brander Park, elke klein gebaar van liefde Dankie dat julle vir Marvel ’n familie gegee het ”

THINKING OUT LOUD

When goodbye comes too soon

It is a strange, almost unreal feeling to watch someone you love endure a grief so deep it seems to swallow them whole Two weeks ago, I watched my fiancé lose his mother, and I felt a pain unlike any I have ever known

It was not my mother, not my family, yet the weight of it pressed on me, leaving a hollowness I had never experienced before I wanted to reach out, to say the perfect words, to somehow ease the ache, but grief is not something that can be fixed with words And sympathy, however heartfelt, sometimes feels hollow when the loss is not your own I have been blessed to still have both my parents I have hugged them, laughed with them, shared the ordinary chaos of everyday life, and perhaps taken it all for granted Watching my fiancé navigate a world without his mother was a sudden, jarring reminder of how fragile life truly is Death does not send warnings, it does not schedule its arrivals at convenient times It comes uninvited, and the void it leaves is vast and echoing

Over the past week, I saw a man strong, capable, and loving confront the unimaginable: the absence of the one person who has been a constant presence in his life since birth His grief was raw and unfiltered, spilling into every corner of the room and touching everyone near him I wanted to comfort him, to hold him, to take away the sorrow, but I could only be there, quiet, present, a steady hand and listening heart

The pain was multiplied when I had to explain to our three-year-old that his “Ma” had gone to heaven The innocence of a child makes grief even more poignant His small face scrunched with confusion and disbelief “No,” he said repeatedly, “she went to work and will be back ”

BRIEWE / LETTERS

How can you tell a child that some people leave forever, that no one can bring them back? His world of stability and routine was shaken, and I could feel the heartbreak in every tremor of his voice

We hugged, we whispered, we repeated that heaven was a special place, and yet, the simplicity of his understanding made my own emotions even more complicated How fortunate are those of us who still have mothers? To hear their voices, to feel their embrace, to know their love is something that should never be taken lightly

Yet life is fleeting In one week, a life can change completely Death is not a distant concept; it is a reality we cannot predict, and the reminder is both sobering and urgent: we must cherish the time we have with those we love I have learned, in watching my fiancé grief, that love is not diminished by loss; it is magnified Memories become sacred, every shared laugh, every quiet conversation, every simple gesture is etched more deeply into the heart And while sympathy can never replace presence, compassion, patience, and listening become small acts of sanctuary for those enduring the storm of grief

So this week has been devastating, yes, but it has also been a lesson: to hold those we love a little closer, to speak words that matter, to celebrate life in all its fragile beauty The loss we mourn today reminds us that tomorrow is not guaranteed, and it challenges us to live fully, to love fully, and to treasure the people who fill our lives with meaning

Grief is heavy, but so too is love And in the quiet spaces of sorrow, it is love that keeps us tethered to hope, to each other, and to the memory of those who are gone too soon -KAILINDANIELS

Nuwe spoedkamera kan verligting bring

In reaksie op die brief "Spoedkameras in Brackenfell-boulevard" (TygerBurger 13 Augustus), ek ry daardie roete daagliks soggens vanaf Hellingstraat na Proteaweg en smiddae vanaf Bottelary (verby die einste spoedkamera) na Helling en het al lankal gewonder hoekom daar nie enige vorm van verkeerskalmering by by enige van die kruisings is nie Veral op

die Brackenfell-boulevard kruising met Hellingstraat, aangesien daar 'n skool in die straat geleë is Soggens is dit 'n nagmerrie om regs uit Helling te draai

Die nuwe spoedkamera sal darem help om motoriste binne die spoedperk te hou en hopelik help dit om bietjie makliker in Brackenfell-boulevard in te draai ESTHER, Durbanville

SpursclinchYouthCup

Cape Town Spurs were crowned this year's Bayview FC u-16 Youth Cup after defeating a spirited Antalyaspor JPM 2-1 under the floodlights at Athlone Stadium on Saturday 16 August It was rather a moment to remember for the Parow-based outfit, after falling at the last hurdle against Ubuntu FC last year

Other big winners on the day were Norway Park, Woodlands United, D6 Mitchells Plain and Lentegeur FC; they beat PPG Langa, Heath Athletic AFC, Pioneer Sport Club and Southampton FC, respectively Spurs lifted the Platinum Cup, with Norway Park taking the Gold Cup home while Woodlands claimed Silver D6 Mitchells Plain took the Wagiet Cup and Lentegeur Bronze

In the only ladies' match of the day, Rygate Invitational Ladies locked horns with Mitchells Plain LFA ladies The two sides played a 1-1 stalemate

An elated tournament organiser and Bayview FC chair Mark Rodrigues hailed the event He thanked all the sponsors, teams and supporters for their commitment and support in making the tournament one of Cape Town's top sporting events "This was a very special year for us, not only because the finals were played at the Athlone Stadium, but it is also a huge milestone for the team We are celebrating our 20th anniversary," said Rodrigues

He said this year's venue elevated the tournament to new heights and gave people from across the province an opportunity to witness young soccer talent

on display The tournament also gave the players a chance to play on a proffessional pitch

"This means if you dream it you can do it Playing at Athlone Stadium is not something many of our young footballers get to do in their lifetime This gives them an opportunity to be part of something special," he said Rodrigues described the occasion as "very special" and an the journey to Athlone Stadium as "emotional" "It was not an easy journey There were too many obstacles but the support from everyone has been amazing This is not about people It is about giving the younsters an opportunity to showcase their talent "

He added that preparations were already underway for next year's tournament

Derbies lewer goeie rugby op

Die eerste rugbyspanne van die hoërskole Stellenberg, Brackenfell en Bellville het - soos in hul interskole-botsings die vorige paar jaar - die afgelope Saterdag andermaal stem dikgemaak Vir hul onderskeie teenstanders, Durbanville, HS Tygerberg en DF Malan, bly die situasie onveranderd: "Ons probeer maar weer aanstaande jaar"

Stellenberg het in die tweede helfte die hef in die hand gekry om die Durbies met 21-14 te troef, terwyl Brackenfell met beter benutting van sy puntekanse met 18-9 teen Tygerberg gewen het

HS Bellville was met 15-3 te sterk vir DF Malan

Monumentpark het in Kraaifontein sy jaarlikse interskolestryd teen Vredenburg voortgesit, maar ondanks verskeie navrae is geen terugvoer ontvang nie Elders het Milnerton sy goeie vorm gehandhaaf en HS Strand met 41-18 gelooi terwyl Tygerbergklub met 20-17 die meerdere van Table View was HTS Bellville het genoeg rede om ongelukkig te voel oor sy onderonsie met die Hamlets-klub

Om een of ander duistere rede het Hamlets se afrigter self as skeidsregter in die wedstryd opgetree en (vanselfsprekend) sodanige besluite geneem wat die Bellvilliete van 'n oorwinning ontneem het, aldus beamptes van HTS Bellville Die eindtelling was 7-7 Twaalf o 19-spanne sal dit vandag (Woensdag) uitspook in Beal Travel se jaarlikse sewemantoernooi, wat by die Laerskool Curro in Bellville plaasvind Die spanne ding in vier groepe mee, waarna die afdelingwenners mekaar in die halfeindronde die stryd sal aansê Die deelnemende spanne is: Afdeling A: Brackenfell, Curro Durbanville en Melkbosstrand Afdeling B: De Kuilen, Bosmansdam en HS Bellville Afdeling C: Bellville-Suid, HS Tygerberg en Monumentpark Afdeling D: HTS Bellville, Curro Delft en Milnerton -SARELBURGER
