Additional classrooms have also existing schools and, in added 175 new classrooms
Although the building does notfall directly under DPWI’s mandate, the department prioritised the repairsdue to the severity of the damage.
“No police station should be allowed to deteriorate to the point where its most public-facingfacility becomes structurally unsafe,” said DA Member of Parliament, Nicholas Gotsell
According to Gotsell, the collapse of theceiling in the charge office created unacceptable conditions for both police officers and the public.
He welcomed the DPWI’s decisionto treat the matter as urgent, noting that safety must remain anon-negotiable priority at police stations.
While the repairs are under way, Gotsell warned thatinfrastructure improvements alone do not address deeperchallenges facing the station.
In response to arecent parliamentary question, the acting minister of police confirmed that Table View Police Station is operating at only 78,4% of its staffing allocation, despite the area experiencing rapid population growth.
“The Independent Electoral Commission’s decision to createan additional ward in Table View isclear evidence that the populationhas expanded beyond what existing policing resources were designed to serve,” Gotsell said. “Yet staffing levels and operationalcapacity have notkept pace.”
He added that vehicles remain unused in garages and terrain-appropriate resources have been removed, further weakening
the station’s abilitytopolice alarge and challenging area.
The parliamentaryreply alsoconfirmed that a4x4 vehicle was removed from Table View Police Station to support Operation Shanela.Gotsell criticised the decision, saying it undermines crime-fighting effortsin an area with sandy andoff-road terrain.
“Taking vehiclesand capacity away from afast-growingprecinctdoesnot fight crime—itentrenches vulnerability,”he said Gotsell further expressed concern that while police increasingly relies on the City of Cape Town’s metro police to shoulder theburden of crime prevention, it remainsreluctant to modernise policing roles or devolve certain investigative powers.
The DA hascommitted to continued oversight to ensure thatthe creation of an additional ward is formally reflected in staffing levels, vehicle allocation and infrastructure investment at Table View Police Station.
“Resources mustbeadded to highgrowthprecincts, not removed from them,” hesaid. “Communities likeTable View cannot be expected to absorb rapid population growth andrising crime while policing capacity stagnates or declines.”
He added that while the DA remains grateful for the dedication of Table View police officers, sustained pressure will continue until thestationisproperly staffed,equipped andhoused in facilities that are safe, functionaland fit for purpose.

After arecent petition gained momentum, Milnerton residents have joined forces with communities across Cape Town to urge the public to sign the ‘Stop the Sewage’petition, callingfor urgent action and accountability from the CityofCape Town over ongoingsewage pollution
Distinguished epidemiologist Dr Jo Barnes, Emeritus from Stellenbosch University’s Health Department at Tygerberg, has publicly supported the petition, issuing astrong plea to the City to address repeatedsewage spills thatpose seriousrisks to publichealth, livelihoods and the environment.
Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis,Deputy Mayor Eddie Andrews and Francine Higham were formally invited to accept the petition, which highlights the widespread impacts of sewage pollution across the Helderberg, Milnerton and surrounding areas.
Ongoing sewage spills into rivers, wetlands, beaches and the ocean expose communitiestoharmful bacteria such as E. coli and Enterococci, while public warnings remain inconsistent or inadequate. Residents sayanxiety over water quality has stripped many communities of simplerecreational pleasures and compromised their wellbeing.
Tourism, hospitality and small businesses are also feeling the strainas foul odours, beach closures and pollution advisories deter visitors. Residents continue paying rates and taxes while property values decline and jobs areput at risk.
“We pay our rates every month, yet we can’t safely swim, walk near the lagoon
orlet our kids play on the beach," said resident Deon Jacobs. "This isn’t aluxury issue —it’sabout basic services and public health.”
According to thepetition, environmental damage causedbysewage pollutionis severeand oftenirreversible. "Wetlands, estuaries and marineecosystems are degraded, seabirds andfish are killed, andCapeTown’s unique biodiversityis increasingly threatened —leavingfuture generations to bear the cost,"the petition reads,
Environmentalists andconservation groups have addedtheir voices to the growing call for action, saying thescale of pollutionwitnessed overthe festive season reinforces the urgencyofthe petition.Zoë Prinsloo, an environmental activistwho participated in extensive coastalcleanups overthe holidays, said the volume of waste and pollution collected was deeply concerning Ayesha Davids from Sunset Beachsaid: “Clean-ups help, but volunteers shouldn’t be cleaning up sewage pollutioncaused by system failures. The City must fix the source, notjust manage the fallout.”
The City’sInland Rivers andWetlands Report(May 2024) found thatCape Town’s rivers andwaterways are 59% contaminated, reflectinga20% increase from the previous reporting period.
Scientific research hasconfirmed pharmaceutical contaminationinmarine life andeven in critically endangered
African penguin eggs, highlighting how pollution moves through catchment areas into coastalenvironments. Key water bodiessuchasMilnerton Lagoon,Zandvlei, Rondevlei and Zeekoevlei, along withrivers including the Diep,Black, Disa,Lotus, Eerste, Lourens, Soetand Sir Lowry’s, are now considered barometers of environmental degradation.
Residents have alsoraised concerns aboutthe threeAtlantic Seaboard marine outfall pipelines, which discharge approximately 50 million litres of raw sewage daily into marineprotected areas near Hout Bay, Camps Bay and Green Point.
CONSTITUTIONALRIGHTSAND LEGALOBLIGATIONSBREACHED
The petition statesthatongoing sewage spills violate Section 24 of the South African Constitution, which guarantees theright to an environmentthat is not harmful to health or wellbeing. It further citesbreachesof:
*NEMA Section 28 (Duty of care)NEMA
Section 30 (Pollutionincident response)
City Water andSanitation By-laws
*TheNational HealthAct
Residents saydelayed responses, poor communication andinadequate maintenance amount to afailure of governance.
The petition calls for:
. Transparent financial reporting.
.Independentwaterquality monitoring and public dashboards
.Immediatepublic alerts within two hoursofspills.
.Infrastructure upgrades and a development moratorium until capacity is adequate.
.Economic relief for affected residents and businesses.
.Abinding action plan by 31 March 2026City response and ongoing concerns.

Many individuals, organisations and businesses have come to the aid of displaced residents in Dunoonfollowing adevastating fire that destroyed hundreds of homesearlier this month, leaving thousands of people without shelter or basic belongings.
The fire, which swept through parts of the settlement on Friday 9January, was fanned by strong south-easterly windsand destroyed at least 632 homes. An estimated 2604 people were displaced, with children accounting for nearly half of those affected.

“It wasencouraging to see howactive the siteis, with residents rebuilding as quickly as theycan,” Mills said.
“While there is still alongway to go, the distribution of aid is helping to meet urgent needs,particularly around food security.”
City teams, together with Eskom, havebegun restoringbasic services, including electricity andwater through temporarystandpipes. Plansare also in place torebuild the fire-damaged wall of the nearby bus depot in away thatwill improve firefighting access to the furthest parts of thesettlement in future.
Support hasalso come from various organisations, including the Lions, Rotary andTLC, who haveassisted victims with essential suppliesand relief efforts.
“Together we can makea difference,”
TLC said in amessage of solidarity.
In neighbouring Killarney Gardens, the community has rallied to support those affected. Killarney International Raceway has openedacollection site, appealing for practical donations rather than cash. Items requested include school stationery, school shoes,blankets, bedding and basic householdappliances such as kettles and toasters.
“With the school year about to start, manychildren will return to class without uniforms, booksorstationery,” organisers said. “Theseare ourneighbours —and for some,family members.”
Agarage at Killarneyhas been made available as acollection site "Please bring whatever you can to the reception office in theAdmin ToweratKillarney, between 08:00 and 16:30 on weekdays. You can also bring donations to theJoubert Pits Lounge

The past festiveseason sawRatanga Parkbuzzing with life as families, runners, and picnickers flocked to enjoy its scenicspaces and vibrant activities. TygerBurger joinedthe fun, taking atrip along the canalat Intaka Island and amemorable ride onthe park’s tramway.
As one of Cape Town’s mostbeloved outdoor destinations, Ratanga Park continues to evolve —recently unveiling brand-new ablution and information facilities designed to enhance comfort, convenience, and accessibility for thousands of monthly visitors.
More than just practical improvements, these new facilities carry arich storyand honour the park’s history.
Perched proudly atop thebuilding isthe beautifully restored Temperance Flyer— atrain many remember fondly fromthe heyday of the former Ratanga Junction theme park.
This thoughtful design preserves Ratanga Park’s roots while moving confidently into the future.
The Temperance Flyer once brought joy to countless families winding through Ratanga Junction’s colourful landscapes. After the theme park’s closure, the train found asecond life at the Central Park Natural Goods Marketand special community events like the Carolsin the Park, becoming asymbol of local nostalgia
However,years of use meant the train required significant refurbishment.
While awaiting restoration, it was safely storedunderground, its future uncertain —but its legacy alive in the hearts of
those who rememberits cheerful whistle.
During this time, AndriesKeyser, an engineerand owner of the Winelands Light Railway, envisioned anew tram custom-built for Century City.
Designed to run on the existing 2,4-gauge track between CentralPark and Ratanga Park, this tram would combine functionality withstorybook charm.
Styled with nostalgic details —from an oversized headlamp to handcrafted flipoverbenches—the new tramoperates weekly and during special events, continuing the tradition of bringing delight to visitors.
So what became of the Temperance Flyer? According to JohnChapman, DirectoratRabie,the answer came unexpectedly.
“We wanted to retain the legacy of the Temperance Flyerafter its retirementbut weren’tsure how,” Chapman explains.
“When designingthe new ablutionand information facilities, we realised the flat roofstructure was perfect for installing the train —creatingatalking point and paying homage to Ratanga Junction’s legacy.”
Restored meticulously by Keyser and repainted in the traditionalred, black, andgoldinstead of its original brightblue andred, the Temperance Flyer nowsits proudly atop the new building,watching overthe park it once helped bringtolife
The new facilities include an information andsecurity office,aswell as public
bathrooms —including wheelchairfriendly toilets —designed to support the park’sgrowingpopularity Ratanga Parkisalso averypopular space for private events and production shoots.
“We hosteverything from fundraising concerts to birthday picnics, corporate eventsand teambuildings and are regularly used for film/ product photoshoots and smaller shoots like weddings, families, matric dances etc.” . Eventqueries canbedirectedtoevents@ centurycity.co.za

Dietwee wetstoepassingsbeamptes van die Stad Kaapstadwat op aanklagte van korrupsie in hegtenis geneem is, is op R1 000 borgtogelk vrygelaat.
Diebeamptes is verbondeaan die Stad KaapstadseLeap-inisiatief (Law Enforcement Advancement Plan)enis op Dinsdag 13 Januarie in 'n lokval deur die polisie se teenkorrupsie-eenheid in hegtenisgeneem
Ditvolg nadat hulle glo R3 000 van 'n dronk motoris geëis het.
Dietweehet op Donderdag 15 Januarie in die Bellville-landdroshof verskyn. Kapt.Frederickvan Wyk, Wes-Kaapse polisiewoordvoerder, het aan TygerBurger gesê hulsaak is tot 16 April uitgestel vir verdere ondersoek en dat hulle op R1 000 borg vrygelaat is, sowel as op voorwaarde dat hulle niemet die staatsgetuie inmeng nie.
Diebeamptes het glo op Maandag 5 Januarie 'n motoris in Voortrekkerweg, Parow, gestop. Diemotoris was glo onder die invloed. In plaas daarvan om hom in hegtenisteneem,het die beamptes glo R3 000 as omkoopgeld van hom geëis, sê die polisie
Diebeamptes het glo ook ´n video van die voorval opgeneem, hul
kontakbesonderhede op die motoris se selfoon gestoor en hom ingelig dat hy die geld in ‘n latere stadium aan hulle kan betaal.
Die motoris het daarna speurdersbydie teenkorrupsie-eenheid genader en 'n lokval is in plek gestel.
Gemerkte kontantnote is aan die motoris gegee, en hy is opdrag gegee om ditaan die beamptes te oorhandig. Die beamptes het die betrokke dag opgedaag soos afgespreek is.
Die video wat opgeneem is, is glo voor die motoris van hul selfoon verwyder, waarna hulle die kontant aanvaar het. Albei verdagtes is op heter daad betrap en daar is op hul selfone, sowel as die gemerkte kontant, wat as bewysstukke sou dien, beslag gelê, sê die polisie.
Wayne Dyason, woordvoerder virdie Stad Kaapstad se wetstoepassingseenheid, het die inhegtenisneming van dietwee beamptes bevestig. Dyason sê die voorval is teleurstellend, maar voeg by dat die Stad nie sulke optrede sal duld nie, en dat die eenheid met die polisie in hul ondersoek sal saamwerk
Die polisie moedig slagoffers van korrupsie aan om korruptes te ontbloot deur na vore te kom sodat ondersoek ingestel kan word.

Veertien jong siele het Maandag onderweg skool toe gesterf toe die bussie waarin hulle was, met 'n vragmotor gebots het. In 'n land waar so baie kinders steeds die reg tot gehalte-onderrigontsêword, is 14 dooie kinders te veel. En weer, soos in baie kere tevore is die beweerde beskuldigde iemand wat veronderstel is om met kinders vertrou te kanword —die bestuurdervan die skoolvervoermotor Nog vars in ons geheue is die Buttskoptragedietoe 10 kinders grusaamdood is omdathul bestuurder ongeduldig geraak het en probeer het om die treinspoor oor te steek. Die res van die storie is te hartseer om hier te herhaal, so lees maar self op wat op sy onbesonne daad gevolg het.
Ongelukkig is baie ouersdeesdae uitgelewer aan skoolvervoer, wat net daarop uit is om die maksimum geld te maak, maar nie 'n duit vir die kinders omgee nie. Hulle prop soveel as moontlik kinders in dikwels onpadwaardige voertuie om die winsnaald te laat styg. Of hulle tel verskillendegroepe kinders op verskillende tye en plekke op, wat veroorsaak dathulle soos besetenes moet jaag om betyds by die skole te wees Nadat ek uit Oudtshoorn verhuis het, moes ek desperaat virmyeen seun 'n nuwe skool soek. Die ideaalsou wees dat hy by 'n skool naby aan die huis aanvaar word, sodat hy sommer kan stap. Onswou hê hy moet in Afrikaans klas kryenhet veral uitgereik na skole waar daarnog in sy moedertaal klas gegee word.Een van die nabygeleë skole hethom aanvaar, maar toehulle sê daar is reeds meer as 50 leerders in die Afrikaanseklas,het my moed my begewe. Ons moes ‘n ander plan maak.
Baieouersisaandieeuwelvan skoolvervoeruitgelewer
Uiteindelik is hy by die Laerskool De Kuilen aanvaar, wat 'n hele entjie van ons huis af was. Ons moes dus ‘nplanmaak dathy'nplekkie op 'n skoolbussiekry. Metons eerste besoek aan die eienaaris ons hand en tand belowe dathynet die beste belange van die leerders op syhart dra. Ditwas met 'n swaar hart wat ons soggens douvoordag die arme siel in die bussie moes laai, soms amper aandie slaap. En omdat die bussie sobaieleerders moes aflaai in die middae, het hy eers middae na 16:00weer tuisgekom.Soms later.
Twee weke nadat die skoolbegin het, sit ek een Vrydagmiddag by die werkenmy selfoon lui. Dis 'n onbekende nommeren toe ek antwoord,sêdie vrouestem aan die ander kant: "Meneer, jou graad 1-seuntjie staan voor die skool en die hekke isreeds gesluit." Dadelik bel ek die eienaarvan die bussie
Dieverskoning? Hy was haastig, want hy moesna'nbegrafnis buitedie stad gaan. Hierdieis'ngesinskoerant en daarom kan ek nie die woorde wat ek gebruik het, herhaal nie, maar daardieeienaar het goed gehoor wathydalk niewou nie. Na nogeen of twee voorvalle het ek uiteindelik besluit, laat ek maarself die klong skool toe neem. Hy het verledeweek sy matriekuitslae gekry en het baiegoed geslaagengaan een van diedae verderin sy gekose veldstudeer. Ek dank die Here vir die voorreg wat ek konhêomskool toe te ry. Daar is egter ouerswat dit nie kan bekostig of motors besit nie, en is aan die euwel van skoolvervoer uitgelewer.Ek ken daai vrees dat jou kind dalk niehuis toe gaan kom nie, maar jy kanhom ook nietuis hou nie. Dus is diegebed van my hart dat elke ouer wat soggens hul kinders skool toe stuur, hul weer in die middae sal ontvang. —BRENDEN RUITER

TheCityofCape Town is to be congratulated on its choice of acompetentcontractor to renovate the GoodwoodSwimmingPool. Even afterthe extensive work undertaken, the contractor completed the projectwithinthe specified timeframe.Moreover, sincethe pool wasoriginally built,ithas neverbeen in such apristine condition! With the extremelyhigh temperatures, people
flocked to findrelief, with manyfromsurrounding areasbeginning to queue from 08:00. Of the numerous peopletowhomIspoke, therewas nothing but praise. Regrettably, the above success contrastedsharply with the varying, conflicting, andcontradictory notices andutterancesbythe City's officialsoverthe past year.The Maycomember forcommunityservices and health referred to merely"cosmetic repairs" being
undertaken, whichIcategorically refuted (TygerBurger, 5March).

MilnertonPlayers present The Night of January16th,written by iconic writer andphilosopher AynRandand directed by Johann vander Merwe from 6to21February (weekends only).
Thestage becomesacourtroom with atwist
This gripping drama centres on therise anddestruction of abrilliant andruthless man, but with adifference: 12 patrons become jurors who vote guilty or not guilty each night,changing theending of every performance.The play embodies Rand's styleofsocial commentary,asking: "Who is trulyontrial —the accused, or the societythatjudges her?" It promisesto be anail-biting,thought-provoking and absorbingevening.

BECOMES THE JURYINMILNERTONPLAYERS’ GRIPPING COURTROOM DRAMA
Swedish financier Bjorn Faulkner,she stands accused of his deathafter he fell 50 storeysfromthe penthousethey onceshared. Thecourtroom becomes thestage foramoral duel between two opposing worlds: thecoldrationalism of District AttorneyFlint (TumeloMogashoa) andthe passionate defianceofdefenceattorneyStevens (Gillian Vosloo), who insists that thetruthabout Faulkner's death is tied to thekindofman he was—ruthless, magnetic, andunbound by ordinaryrules. Witnesses deliver testimonyone by one: building staff,the policeinspector,a private investigator, thewidow andmore. Each bringsanother pieceofthe puzzle,until an unexpected
twist silences thecourtroom. While AynRandachievedfameasa novelist (TheFountainhead and Atlas Shrugged among her most famous works),her first public success came as aplaywright. TheNight of January16th, which opened on Broadway in 1935, introduced her to audiences as abold criticofsocial conformity. Thethemes explored remain as relevant today.

With the 2026 academic year now in full swing, parents have been reminded to exercise caution when dropping off or picking up their children from school.
District Group, alocal private security company, last week shared some helpful safety tips in this regard, to help parents.
In apost on its social media page, it says the daily school run is routine, but that routine can bring risks. Busy streets, predictable routes, and rushed handovers create opportunities for mistakes and crime, they wrote. The group mentions, however, that small habits make abig difference.
Furthermore, parents are reminded that paying attention matters. “Patterns matter. Criminals and opportunists notice predictable routines. Add distracted s esca sa gu saf . whenever . driving . sta . or . fo . an

Just recently she donated some of the beanies to theTygerberg Hospital Children's Trust.
Last year,onFriday 19 December, the family also donated some of the beanies to the Red CrossWar Memorial Children's Hospital Trust.The latter had been their mother’s main support system when it came to getting medical attention for all her children, Arlettesays.
BARNEY’SBEANIES
Blanche is the founder of Barney’sBeanies. Arlette says her mother would welcome anyone who wants to learn and at one stage gave free knitting lessons. At one point her house was upgraded to include adedicated knitting room, she says.
After almost 50 years, she decided to cut back and focus on her hand knitting more asa hobby. This time, knitting mostly jerseys and capsfor family and

The National Department of Social Development has dismissed false claims circulating on social media that theCovid-19 Social Relief of Distressgrant is set to end.
Videos and graphics spreading across various social-media platforms have incorrectly stated that the government planstoterminate the cSRD programme, prompting the department to issue an urgent clarification.
“There is no such decision, announcement or directive from theDepartment or government regarding the termination of thecSRD.”
The department expressed particular concern over theunauthorised use of the minister’s official image and thedepartment’slogo in the misleading posts, warning that such actions constitute illegal misrepresentation of government communication.
Social Development officials havecautioned the public
against creating and sharing fake news that causes unnecessary panic amongst grant beneficiaries who depend on the monthly payments.
Thedepartment urged South Africans to disregard the false information and rely solely on verified announcements from official government channels.
Thedepartment directed the public to four official sources for accurate information about social grants and government announcements. These include the Department of Social Development’sofficial website, SASSA and NDA official platforms, verified government social-media pages, and the DSD WhatsApp Channel.
Theclarification comes as millions of SouthAfricans continue to rely on the Covid-19 Social Relief of Distress grant for financial support, making any rumours about itstermination particularly concerning for communities that are vulnerable.
