Entries are welcomed across the DIY spectrum, including home renovation and décor projects, sustainability and upcycling initiatives, and community improvement work. “Over the past two years we’ve been inspired by women from every walk of life who are using their creativity and practical skills to build businesses, improve homes, support communities and challenge stereotypes,” said Orlando Luis, CEO of Brights Hardware.

Gesinne onseker oor toekoms TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS

SPORTFASILITEITE OP PERSEEL BEPLAN

TARRYN.EDITORIAL@GMAIL.COM

eer as 100 gesinne wat in die Hardekraaltjie-woonwapark in Bellville woon, word deur ’n onsekere toekoms in die gesig gestaar nadat die Stad Kaapstad bevestig het ’n sportfasiliteit gaan op die eiendom ontwikkel word. Die grond is formeel vir dié doel aangewys en die beplanningsproses het reeds begin. Inwoners wat steeds in die park woon, sê egter hulle het nêrens om heen te gaan nie. Volgens Miranda van Wyk, ‘n inwoner en hul woordvoeder, is daar tans na raming tussen 101 en 104 gesinne in die park. Sommige woon reeds tot 10 jaar

daar. “Baie van hulle is bejaard of het mediese probleme. Baie woon hier omdat hulle naby hospitale is,” sê Van Wyk. “As hierdie park gesluit word, gaan baie mense op straat sit.” Van Wyk woon al byna twee jaar saam met haar man en twee pleegkinders in die woonwapark. Haar man het sowat drie jaar gelede ’n beroerte gehad en kan nie werk nie. Sy is gevolglik die gesin se enigste broodwinner. Volgens haar bevind verskeie ander huishoudings hulle in soortgelyke finansiële en gesondheidsomstandighede, terwyl sommige inwoners slegs van hul pensioen afhanklik is.

Die ingang na die Hardekraaltjie-woonwapark in Bellville, waar die Stad Kaapstad beplan om ’n sportfasiliteit te ontwikkel.

“Verblyf is baie duur, so hierdie mense maak staat op dié verblyf. Hulle het nêrens anders om heen te gaan nie. Ek bedoel, waarheen gaan hulle?” Die ligging is veral belangrik vir mense wat gereeld mediese behandeling benodig. Van Wyk sê sommige inwoners ontvang behandeling by die Tygerberg-hospitaal, terwyl kinders, bejaardes en mense in rolstoele ook deel van die gemeenskap is. “Dit is ’n ideale plek; dit is naby winkels en hospitale. Almal is min of meer hier gevestig.” STAD VOLG REGSPROSES Luthando Tyhalibongo, woordvoerder van die Stad, sê die eiendom word tans onregmatig beset en die Stad volg die toepaslike regsproses. Kennisgewings om die perseel te ontruim, is deur die Stad se prokureurs aan inwoners beteken. Die tydperk wat aan hulle toegestaan is, het op 26 Julie verstryk. “Die voortgesette onregmatige besetting van die eiendom belemmer tans die Stad se vermoë om met die voorgestelde ontwikkeling voort te gaan,” sê Tyhalibongo. Hy sê die Stad het oor ’n tydperk met die inwoners kontak gemaak en sy standpunt oor die besetting en gepaardgaande regsproses gekommunikeer.

Van Wyk bevestig dat inwoners kennisgewings ontvang het, maar sê hulle kan nie bloot vertrek sonder bekostigbare alternatiewe verblyf nie. “Hulle wil ons hier uit hê, maar waarheen moet ons gaan?” Sy sê inwoners sal die uitsettingsproses teenstaan. “Ons moet ’n plek hê om heen te gaan. Hier is baie gesinne met kinders, bejaardes en mense in rolstoele. Waarheen moet hulle gaan?” GEMEENSKAP HOU PARK IN STAND Te midde van die onsekerheid sê Van Wyk inwoners gaan voort om self na die terrein om te sien. Hulle maak gemeenskaplike gebiede skoon, werk in die tuine en dra by tot instandhoudingskoste wanneer probleme ontstaan. “As die dreine verstop, betaal ons self om dit oop te maak,” sê sy. “Ons is ’n baie hegte gemeenskap. Ons kyk na die park en ons kyk na die terrein.” ’n Klein bestuursgroep help ook inwoners wat swaarkry met kos en ander ondersteuning. Van Wyk het intussen ’n veldtog op sosiale media begin om skenkings van kos, klere en ander benodigdhede in te samel. ERFENIS OOK ONDER DIE LOEP Die toekoms van Hardekraaltjie het ook aandag getrek weens die terrein se geskiedenis en ’n gemeenskapsveldtog om dit en die volwasse bome daar te bewaar.

TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS Motorists parking around Tygervalley and Willowbridge and commuters travelling through the Bellville CBD are being urged to keep up their guard as police ﬂag two crime concerns in the area. Theft from vehicles has become a concern in parking areas near Virgin Active, especially during the afternoon. Meanwhile, robberies along the busy route between the Bellville taxi rank and train station during morning and evening commuting periods. Sgt Charles Neelse, spokesperson for Bellville police, described theft out of motor vehicles as one of the station’s biggest concerns over the past week. According to Neelse, the vehicle-related incidents generally occur in the afternoon. Police are again urging motorists not to leave valuables in their vehicles, even when stopping for a short period and drivers should check that doors are locked before walking away and keep bags, laptops, cellphones and other valuables out of sight. In the Bellville CBD, there are concerns about robberies between the taxi rank and train station. Neelse said incidents tend to coincide with the times commuters are heading to work or returning home. “It will normally happen when people go to work and when they return back from work,” he said. The early morning and early evening are therefore periods when commuters should be alert. Those walking through the area are encouraged to keep valuables out of sight and remain aware of what is happening around them. Police are appealing to residents to report criminal or suspicious activity rather than ignore it.

Gate will stay open TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS

TARRYN.EDITORIAL@GMAIL.COM

he pedestrian gate linking Saffraan Street in Welgemoed to Jip de Jager Drive will remain open during the day after the City of Cape Town rejected a request to close it permanently. The decision follows consultation with residents and property owners about safety and access. According to the Welgemoed City Improvement District (WCID), the City’s District Head: Roads and Stormwater did not approve the application. The gate will continue to be locked at night until about 05:00 and monitored by CCTV. The City found that the access point forms part of the area’s pedestrian network and connects directly to a recognised bus and taxi embayment. It is used predominantly by domestic workers and recreational pedestrians and includes concrete stairs and guardrails. The alternative route via Eksteen and Bonsma streets has no sidewalks, while the steep gradient makes it more difficult and potentially dangerous for pedestrians. CCTV monitoring over about 10 weeks

CITY REJECTS REQUEST TO PERMANENTLY CLOSE GATE recorded an average of 75 people using the Saffraan Street access daily, increasing to around 89 on weekdays. About 61 daily users were domestic workers and other workers travelling to and from properties in the surrounding area. Before approaching the City, the WCID surveyed 70 residents and property owners. Of those who participated, 45% said they never used the stairs, while 55% used them to some degree. About 2% reported using them daily. The WCID submitted the survey results, CCTV data and safety concerns raised by residents to the City for consideration. The information also highlighted the number of regular users who fall outside the WCID’s resident and property-owner communication channels. Should the current arrangement not be maintained, the City said the gate would have to be removed entirely to ensure the public route remains accessible.

Friends of Tyger Valley Library hosts to book sale

Staff of Tyger Valley Library with author Tony Park.

Tony Park launches new book Acclaimed thriller author Tony Park launched his latest novel, King of Beasts, at Tyger Valley Library. The event on Monday 17 August, organised by The Friends of Tyger Valley Library and Bargain Books, brought together book lovers, library patrons, and members of the local reading community for an engaging morning celebrating African storytelling, adventure fiction, and the enduring power of books. Park, one of the most popular authors writing about Africa today, is renowned for his action-packed novels that blend wildlife conservation, adventure, and

contemporary African issues. King of Beasts continues this tradition, taking readers on a thrilling journey across South Africa filled with suspense, international intrigue, and unforgettable characters. A highlight of the event was a lively question-and-answer session, where attendees had the chance to engage directly with Park.

Kenridge Tennis Club’s seven octogenarian players, from left, Tony Lockett, Joan Ward, Mervyn Hobbs, Jenny Beyer, Peter Aspinall, Meryl Russell and Basil Haworth, continue to take to the court twice a week.

FROM PAGE 1 “Good exercise, fun and banter on the court.” There is another benefit, he jokes — “escaping the wife’s job list”. The seven have long histories with the sport. Beyer has played for 48 years, Ward for more than 40 and Hobbs for 36. Haworth first picked up a racquet during his primary school days and still travels from Table View to play at Kenridge. “The younger you start playing, the longer you will play,” Haworth said. The club’s Wednesday social group dates back about 35 years when a small group of older male players began getting together for matches. Women later joined and the group grew. Today, between 14 and 30 people regularly turn up. Although commonly known as the “Wednesday Vets”, players of all ages are welcome, with many of the current

participants aged 70 and older. The afternoons involves doubles, with players mixed up for games against others of a similar standard. But “social” does not mean the competitive streak has disappeared. Hobbs said the interaction with other members and the fun on court were among the reasons she continued playing. There are also moments of friendly frustration. “One of the players does all these drop shots, which makes us all mad. He just loves doing these shots,” she said. Play usually runs from about 13:30 to 16:00 before the group heads to the clubhouse. Their message to younger generations is much the same as their approach to tennis: getting older does not mean giving up the things you enjoy. “Don’t ever give up sport because of growing old — adapt how you play and keep going,” Aspinall said.

Bowls legend celebrates 88 years HERMAN JANSEN massive 5 000 hours for the love of the game, totalling about 210 days. This is how long the logbook of Walter Oosthuizen, the legendary Durbanville Bowling Club (DBC) stalwart, shows he has spent around bowling greens in his 45 years as a bowling umpire.

FORMIDABLE OPPONENT The affable Oosthuizen from Table View turned 88 yesterday (Tuesday 25 August)) and is still

Walter Oosthuizen was awarded the Western Province Bowls Merit Badge in 2021 for 40 years of service to the sport.

A LIFETIME SPENT ON THE GREENS a formidable opponent on the greens as well. Oosthuizen, a member at DBC for 33 years, qualified as a South African Bowling Association Technical Official in 1981. He has served in this capacity for an uninterrupted 45 years. SPORTS LEGEND AWARD In 2016 already the Western Cape ministry of cultural affairs and sport honoured Oosthuizen with a Sports Legend Award "in recognition of the unselfish contribution that you have made to sport in the Western Cape". He and his wife, Pat (86), this year celebrated 65 years of married life. They got married in Worcester on 11 March 1961. The couple have lived in Table View for many years. Oosthuizen studied mechanical engineering and spent decades in Worcester at Eskom. TABLE TENNIS His sporting career began as a table tennis player where he was dubbed as "King of Boland" in this sporting code. He first got Boland colours in 1959 and eventually was capped more than

fifty times. He won more than sixty Boland titles. The couple moved to Cape Town in 1988. INCREDIBLE FEAT After 30 years of playing bowls, Oosthuizen won the Western Province senior single title in the 2020-'21 season. In the first round he achieved the incredible feat which got him into the Guinness Book of Records in 1997. He won this match 21-0 within six heads. This is the quickest possible: The player first to 21 wins a (four-bowl) single match. 'GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS' Pat Oosthuizen used to be a formidable bowler as well. She also made the Guinness Book of Records almost 30 years ago. Her Durbanville Fours team set up a world record by beating George Lee Park 64-0 in the SA Nationals in Cape Town on 10 March 1997. A corner in DBC clubhouse is dubbed "Oosthuizen Nook", celebrating their achievements with pictures and certificates against the wall.

Durbies-toneel beste in Wes-Kaap

ie senior toneelgroep van die Laerskool Durbanville se produksie A++ is Maandagmiddag as een van net ses finaliste in die nasionale ATKV-tjokkertoneelkompetisie aangewys. Dit het gekom nadat die produksie skoonskip gemaak het in verskeie afdelings van die Wes-Kaapstreekkompetisie. Die produksie is verlede Woensdag in die Baxter-teater as die wenner in die afdelings vir beste produksie, beste ensemble en beste regie aangewys. A++ is 'n tong–in–die–kies–komedie wat die wêreld van kultuuraande, kompetisies en drama-mammas met heerlike oorgawe aanpak. Wanneer die skaam Elizabeth teen haar sin in die kollig gestoot word, begin ego’s bots en ruk die soeke na die gesogte Mozart Monoloog–wisseltrofee behoorlik handuit. Die produksie is geskryf deur Ilne Fourie. Die regie word behartig deur Veronica Geldenhuys en Tronéll Lessing. Dié produksie is ook as wenner by die Montagu-jeugtoneelfees aangewys en het 'n tweede plek in die Playhouse Theatre Festival in Somerset-Wes behaal. In die Laerskool Welgemoed se produksie Die Bruilof is Dawid Bruwer as Willem van Wyk by die streekkompetisie as beste tjokker-akteur aangewys. Die oorwinning by die streekkompetisie was die hoogtepunt nadat die toneelgroepe van 17 tot 19 Augustus die Pam Golding Baxter-teater in Rondebosch laat leef het met die laaste streekkompetisie van die sesde ATKV-tjokkertoneelkompetisie. FINALISTE Die ses nasionale ATKVtjokkertoneelfinaliste sal deelneem aan die ATKV-toneelaanbod se nasionale eindronde op 2 Oktober in die Kunstekaap-

TONEELSTUK AS EEN VAN SES FINALISTE AANGEWYS NADAT DIT SKOONSKIP MAAK IN STREEKKOMPETISIE teater in Kaapstad. Ander nasionale finaliste is die produksie Hart van die Laerskool Bastion in Brackenfell, onder regie van Jan Burger, Uil van die Laerskool Beaumont in Somerset-Wes, asook drie produksies van skole in Roodepoort — Om te onthou van die Laerskool Helderkruin, en twee produksies van die Laerskool Roodekrans, Dagdromer en Die Neonkas. In Hart neem ’n groep kinders en ’n ou robot ’n koue KI-regering aan in 'n wêreld waar emosies, drome en verbeelding verban is. Hul wapen? Die een ding wat tegnologie nie kan vervang nie: die krag van die menslike hart. JONG VERBEELDING Altesame 576 tjokkers in 23 produksies het die Wes-Kaap-streekkompetisie met kleur, energie en ’n oorvloed jong talent afgesluit. Onder vanjaar se tema, “Asem”, het die deelnemers gewys hoe groot jong verbeelding kan droom wanneer dit ruimte kry om te speel, lui 'n verklaring deur die ATKV op sy webblad. Die verhoog is gevul met stories, karakters en kreatiewe keuses wat telkens daaraan herinner het waarom Tjokkertoneel so ’n belangrike eerste tree in ’n jong kunstenaar se teaterreis kan wees. Met hierdie laaste streekkompetisie het die nasionale Tjokkertoneelseisoen ’n indrukwekkende mylpaal bereik: altesaam 1 325 tjokkers in 60 produksies het vanjaar

oor Suid-Afrika heen deelgeneem, lui die verklaring. MENTORSKAP Die Wes-Kaapse produksies is vanjaar deur die mentorbeoordelaars Bianca Flanders en Jacques Bessenger begelei. As deel van ATKV-tjokkertoneel se ontwikkelingsfokus ontvang elke produksie pasgemaakte stemnotas van die mentors. Hierdie terugvoer bied aan deelnemers en onderwysers praktiese leiding en aanmoediging om lank ná die fees steeds oor hul werk te besin, nuwe idees te ondersoek en hul liefde vir teater verder te laat groei. Dit is juis dié kombinasie van speel, leer en ontdek wat die sesde ATKV-tjokkertoneel so besonders maak, lui die verklaring. "Die applous is belangrik, maar die ervaring en groei wat deelnemers saamneem, leef veel langer." JUNIOR TONEELGROEP Die Laerskool Durbanville se junior toneelgroep is as kategoriewenner vir beste produksie bekroon by die Tygerbergeisteddfod se toneelfees en vorm ook saam met A++ deel van drie laerskoolproduksies wat gekies is om in die halfeindronde van die Wes-Kaap-streek van Pronk Pret te kompeteer. Hierdie produksie is ook deur Ilne

Fourie geskryf. Die regie word behartig deur Veronica Geldenhuys en Caeli Aggenbach. Kaartjies vir die eindronde van die ATKV-tjokkertoneelkompetisie sal van 9 September via Webtickets en by die Kunstekaap-kaartjiekantoor beskikbaar wees.

Talk looks at slave heritage “My family tree and enslaved ancestors” was presented at the last meeting of Durbanville Heritage Society on Saturday 15 August by Dr Adrienne van As, lecturer in history education at the Wellington campus of CPUT. A large group from the Genealogical Society joined Durbanville Heritage Society for the afternoon at the Durbanville library. The highly interesting talk and slideshow guided the attendees on the use of online and digital tools and DNA testing to trace family history. There was a focus on the large number of slaves that were at the Cape during the time of the Dutch East India Company

settlement. During her talk, Dr Van As briefly shared the history of some of these slaves and their eventual assimilation into the lines of South African families.

Durbanville church hosts flower festival All Saints Church in Durbanville will host a flower festival from 2 to 6 September in celebration of its 170th anniversary. The church is the second oldest in the Durbanville area. The festivities will start with a church service, followed by daily floral displays until Sunday 6 September, when another church service will conclude the programme. The All Saints complex includes the original church and the old parsonage, as well as a church hall and a garden of remembrance. The complex dates back to 1860 and is closely associated with the history and

development of Durbanville. Built between 1850 and 1860 during the early growth of Durbanville, in Baxter Street, the church features a Victorian-style church. It was designed by Sophy Gray, wife of Cape Town's first Anglican bishop, Robert Gray. It showcases classic Victorian Gothic Revival architectural elements, including distinct buttresses. The church was declared a national monument under old NMC legislation on 30 July 1982. Entry is free to the floral displays, while there are reflection and prayer spaces, music and moments of thanksgiving.

Durbanville CPF Fed-up motorist demands answers hosts special DESIRÉE RORKE

DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA

ix months after filing a complaint with traffic services over daily lawlessness of taxi drivers, a concerned Brackenfell resident is still waiting for answers, and says nothing on the road has changed, endangering the lives of other road users across the northern suburbs of Cape Town. The resident, whose identity is being protected, describes a daily barrage of reckless taxi behaviour along several roads in Brackenfell and surrounds that includes taxis blocking lanes, skipping slipways and forcing their way ahead of law-abiding motorists at intersections. In his written complaint to the traffic department he attached detailed illustrations of the routes on Google Earth photos of where the daily violations occur. These roads am among others include De Bron, Eversdal, Mountainview and Fairtrees road as well as Eskom Crescent. “This is a textbook example. A taxi stopped dead in the middle of De Bron Road, blocking an entire lane, despite there being a designated area to pull over barely two meters further on. Having caused the congestion himself, the driver then used the very gap his blocking had created to drive down to the traffic light, ignored the slipway completely, turned left directly at the light, and forced his way in front of

RESIDENT PENS COMPLAINT TO CITY ABOUT DAILY TAXI LAWLESSNESS every single vehicle legitimately waiting to turn into Mountain View drive,” he says. “I want to be absolutely clear that this is not an isolated incident I am blowing out of proportion. It is a daily occurrence. Every day these drivers treat the rules of the road as if they simply do not apply to them, and every day there is not a single officer anywhere to be seen holding them to account.” “It has now been close to six months since traffic services acknowledged my complaint and undertook to monitor the situation and provide feedback. I have had no feedback, and far more importantly, nothing on the road has changed,” he told the newspaper. To the City he writes “I have given you the routes. I have reported the behaviour, yet the only response I received was that I should phone 107 each time, as though the responsibility for policing our roads now rests with the motorists being endangered rather than with the City that taxes us for that very service. “That is not a solution. It is an admission that there is no proactive enforcement whatsoever. So let me ask plainly, what options are actually left to the tax paying citizens of this city? I cannot take the law

into my own hands. I cannot take these taxi drivers to court myself.” The resident warned that growing “we own the road” behaviour from taxi drivers, combined with continued population growth in the Western Cape, points to a City that has lost its grip. “It does not take a rocket scientist to see that the City no longer has any control over the roads, and with more and more people flocking to the Western Cape, I don’t see the City regaining any control without taking drastic steps.” He is demanding concrete answers. “What concrete enforcement action has actually been taken on the reported routes, and what plan exists to put visible, consistent traffic policing back on the roads so that these drivers can no longer act with complete impunity?” “Drivers that blatantly and constantly show no regard for the rules and face no consequences as there simply is absolutely no one to police them.” CITY FIRES BACK The City has hit back at the claim that taxi lawlessness goes unchecked, calling the

accusation “disingenuous” and pointing to thousands of fines, impoundments and arrests as evidence of active enforcement. In a written response, Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith said traffic services issues thousands of fines and impounds hundreds of taxis every month, with statistics published weekly on the City’s website and social media platforms. Smith acknowledged the City receives hundreds of complaints daily but said officers cannot remain static in any one area due to the sheer demand on the service. “The safety and security directorate’s efforts to address the lawlessness on the roads are well documented,” he said. He referred to the City’s administrative logistics for an amended by-law, recently gazetted, that strengthens provisions for impounding vehicles. “Now that it has been gazetted, traffic officers are able to impound vehicles in a number of instances, including where the vehicle is being driven on a public road in a manner that is reckless and poses an immediate or imminent danger to the life of passengers, road users, or pedestrians,” he said. Smith noted the by-law targets lawlessness across all motorists, not only taxi drivers, and urged residents to report reckless driving to the Public Emergency Communication Centre on 021 480 7700.

City releases more land for housing T

he City of Cape Town’s land release programme is channeling over 14 000 affordable housing units worth R26 billion in private sector capital into communities that already exist, while opening the door to dignified, well-located homes for more Capetonians. It is as much a housing project as it is a socio-economic investment programme, according to the City. In his address to the Affordable Housing Investment Connect conference in Cape Town last week, Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis said the City has released more land for affordable housing in the current term than the decade prior under its Priority Programme to accelerate land release. The City is aiming to forge strong publicprivate partnerships for more affordable housing, and thus brought together private sector developers, financiers, government, and international finance bodies for this groundbreaking conference. According to the City, land parcels with

a yield of over 14 000 affordable units are currently in the active land release pipeline or project packaging stage. A further 7 000-unit yield is estimated across land parcels already awarded to developers, while over 6 000 completed social housing units are already in operation in Cape Town. Carl Pophaim, Mayco member for human settlements, said the City had released land valued at R1,7 billion in just the last two years. “We’ve released land with an estimated yield of 13 766 opportunities over the past two years. Over this period, the City also enabled more than R960 million in discounted release, bulk infrastructure investment, and incentives to enhance the viability of projects,” he said. “If this is what we’ve been able to do in just over two years, imagine what we will achieve as our programme matures.” “Our unique land release for affordable housing programme is essentially a neighbourhood socio-economic investment

LAND PARCELS WITH A YIELD OF OVER 14 000 AFFORDABLE UNITS ARE IN THE ACTIVE LAND RELEASE PIPELINE programme. This programme unlocks economic growth, and improved infrastructure, services, and amenities in existing neighbourhoods, while also enabling greater access to dignified, well-located accommodation for more Capetonians,” said Councillor Pophaim. CALL FOR FUNDING The City is also calling for national grant-funding to be increased dramatically, and for it to be directly allocated to the metro, rather than via the red-tape laden Social Housing Regulatory Authority (SHRA). According to the City, Cape Town’s housing market has seen significant

shifts in recent years, with Covid-19 enabling greater mobility and driving high semigration to the city. Two broad forces are behind the demand, people seeking employment opportunities, drawn by the city’s higher employment rate, and growing confidence in good governance prompting investment. Looking ahead, the pressures are set to intensify. Cape Town’s population is expected to grow to 8,4 million people over 24 years, with 70% of housing demand, both ownership and rental, falling in the affordable bracket. Between now and 2050, more than one million housing units will be required to meet the demand. The market has also seen a noticeable shift from freehold to sectional title developments, which now make up more than 50% of total property sales. According to the City, affordable housing brackets for ownership properties are valued at up to R1,5 million, while the rental space targets households earning between R3 500 and R34 800 per month.

US se Sunskill-sentrum vier ‘n dekade van uitnemendheid Die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) se Sunskill-sentrum vir Chirurgiese Vaardigheidsopleiding by sy Tygerbergkampus buite Kaapstad het pas 'n dekade van uitnemendheid in chirurgiese onderrig gevier. Terselfdertyd het dit ook 'n belangrike nuwe hoofstuk in sy ontwikkeling ingelui met die uitbreiding van sy aanbod van opleiding in robotgesteunde chirurgie, luidens 'n verklaring deur die universiteit. Dié sentrum, wat tot stand gekom het danksy 'n langdurige vennootskap tussen die US en Medtronic — 'n wêreldleier in gesondheidsorgtegnologie — het tot 'n toonaangewende platform vir chirurgiese opleiding, vaardigheidsontwikkeling en gesondheidsorginnovasie in Afrika ontwikkel. Die insluiting van opleiding in robotgesteunde chirurgie versterk die sentrum se rol in die bevordering van voorpunt- chirurgiese praktyke, die gebruik van tegnologie en pasiëntsorg dwarsoor Suid-Afrika en die vasteland, lui die verklaring. "Die sentrum bied al langer as 'n dekade praktiese opleiding van wêreldgehalte vir chirurge en ander gesondheidsorgwerkers en ondersteun sodoende kliniese uitnemendheid, die gebruik van tegnologie en beter pasiëntsorg oor Afrika heen,” het prof. Karin Baatjes, vise-dekaan: leer en onderrig van die fakulteit geneeskunde en gesondheidswetenskappe, gesê. "Ons is net so opgewonde oor die volgende hoofstuk van uitbreiding na die vinnig ontwikkelende veld van opleiding in robotgesteunde chirurgie."

DUISENDE GESONDHEIDSORGWERKERS ONDERSTEUN Sunskill, wat in die US se Biomediese Navorsingsinstituut geleë is, is een van Afrika se voorste fasiliteite vir chirurgiese opleiding en onderrig. Sedert die opening daarvan in 2016 het dit die professionele ontwikkeling van meer as 10 000 gesondheidsorgwerkers deur middel van meer as 800 opvoedkundige en praktiese opleidingsgeleenthede ondersteun en sodoende toegang tot gevorderde mediese onderrig, innoverende tegnologieë en kliniese vaardigheidsontwikkeling onder leiding van kundiges gebied, lui die verklaring. Sunskill het oor die afgelope dekade chirurge, verpleegkundiges, kliniese ingenieurs en multidissiplinêre gesondheidsorgspanne van Suid-Afrika, elders op die vasteland en die buiteland verwelkom. "Die uitbreiding na opleiding in robotgesteunde chirurgie is nog 'n belangrike mylpaal in Sunskill se ontwikkeling," het prof. Ian Vlok, direkteur van Sunskill en hoof van die afdeling neurochirurgie aan die US, gesê. "Hierdie nuwe aanbod skep geleenthede vir chirurge van Suid-Afrika en dwarsoor Afrika om blootstelling aan een van die belangrikste tegnologiese ontwikkelings in moderne chirurgie te kry. Deur toegang tot gevorderde opleiding in robotgesteunde chirurgie te bied, rus Sunskill gesondheidsorgwerkers toe met die vaardighede en selfvertroue wat nodig is om die hoogste standaarde van pasiëntsorg te lewer."

‘n Chirurg demonstreer die nuwe Hugo-stelsel vir robotgesteunde chirurgie.

HUGO-STELSEL VIR ROBOTGESTEUNDE CHIRURGIE Die sentrum sal nou opleidingsgeleenthede vir Medtronic se Hugo-stelsel vir robotgesteunde chirurgie (RAS) skep. Die Hugo RASplatform, wat ontwerp is vir gebruik in algemene, urologiese en ginekologiese chirurgie, kombineer beweegbare robotarms, hoëdefinisie- driedimensionele visualisering en 'n oopkonsole-ontwerp,

wat groter samewerking tussen lede van die chirurgiese span in die operasiesaal moontlik maak, sê die universiteit. "As 'n oorplantingschirurg het ek groot waardering vir die waarde wat chirurgiese kundigheid tot pasiënte se lewens toevoeg. Chirurgie red lewens, verbeter uitkomste, verkort hospitaalverblyf en kan gesondheidsorgkoste verminder," het prof. Elmi Muller, dekaan van die fakulteit, gesê.

Help karateka represent SA in Japan Supporters of South African talent are invited to enjoy an unforgettable afternoon with some of their favourite Suidooster and Kelders van Geheime personalities to helping a young martial artist achieve his dream of representing South Africa in Japan. A special lunch at the High-End 420 Hotel will take place on Saturday 10 October, bringing together soapie fans, celebrities, and the community for a fundraising event in support of Tinus Schoeman, who has been selected to participate in the prestigious Goju Kai Cultural Exchange and Black Belt Grading in Japan. LUNCH INVITATION "Tinus has earned this opportunity through years of dedication, discipline, and hard work. The tour includes intensive karate training, cultural exchange activities, and the opportunity to grade in Japan under internationally

respected instructors. "My son has been doing karate since he was three and a half years old by Francois du Plessis Karate School. This is the second time he has been selected to do his black belt karate grading in Japan," says mom Naomi. The estimated cost of the trip is between R55 000 and R60 000 per participant, with fundraising efforts helping to cover these expenses. WHAT GUESTS CAN EXPECT Guests attending the fundraiser will enjoy a delicious lunch, exclusive appearances by stars from Suidooster and Kelders van Geheime, and the rare opportunity to take a personal photo with the celebrities. There will be time to mingle and interact with the actors, followed by a fan Q&A session where audiences can put their questions directly to the cast.

Lucky prize giveaways will round off the entertainment, and the event will also feature motivational speaker Bradwin Daniels and fellow actor Bradley Williams, adding inspiration to an already memorable afternoon. Only 50 tickets are available at R450 per person, with ticket sales closing on 5 October. According to Tinus's family, every ticket purchased brings him one step closer to proudly representing South Africa on the international stage. The fundraising campaign aims to make a lifelong dream a reality while showcasing the power of community support. The current fundraising target is R60 000, with additional sponsorships and donations still needed. The fundraiser takes place on 10 October from 11:00 to 14:00, with tickets priced at R450 each.

Twee Durbanville-wyne die beste

wee wyne van die Durbanville-wynvallei is verlede Vrydagaand bekroon as Suid-Afrika se beste jongwyne in hul kategorieë in die strawwe nasionale SA Jongwynskou. Dit is die 2026 Chenin Blanc (gehout) van Groot Phesantekraal en die 2026 Shiraz (gehout) van die Diemersdal-wynlandgoed. Hierdie jaarlikse skou vir wyne van die huidige oesjaar word aangebied deur die SA Nasionale Wynskouvereniging (SANWSV) in samewerking met AgriExpo, wat steeds nóú betrokke is by die hierdie merkwaardige kompetisie as die oorspronklike eienaar en sy verbintenis as beskermheer tot vandag handhaaf. NUWE STREEK Die SA Jongwynskou het vanjaar geskiedenis gemaak deurdat 'n nuwe

goue medaljes opgelewer.

“Dit is opwindend op Kaapstad as nuwe streek welkom te heet ...’’ - Christo Pienaar streek by die oorspronklike agt streke deur die SANWSV bygevoeg is. Die produsente van Kaapstad, wat in 2017 as Wyn van Oorsprong-gebied afgebaken is, het aansoek gedoen om as 'n nuwe streek te kan deelneem, nadat hulle tot verlede jaar deel van Stellenbosch was. Kaapstad, een van die 12 groot wynhoofstede van die wêreld, sluit die wyke Durbanville, Constantia, Houtbaai en Philadelphia in. Die nuwe streek het sommer met die intrapslag buiten die twee nasionale kampioene ook vier klaswenners en vyf

GEHOUTE PINOTAGE 'n Gehoute pinotage van Wellington Wines is bekroon as die SA Kampioenjongwyn van 2026, nadat dit ook as die beste pinotage aangewys is. Dit is die derde keer dat dié wynmakery die trofee as algehele wenner verower. Wellington het ook in 2018 dié prestasie behaal, ook met 'n pinotage-wyn, en in 2023 met 'n cabernet sauvignon. KWV het die Pietman Hugo-trofee vir die derde keer gewen as die wynmakery wat die meeste punte met sy vyf beste ingeskrewe wyne behaal het. Dit is die tweede keer agtereenvolgens dat KWV met dié trofee wegstap nadat hulle dit verlede jaar, asook in 2015, losgeslaan het. Hulle het uitgeblink deur drie nasionale trofeë te verower, naamlik vir die KWV Sauvignon Blanc (gehout), KWV Petit Verdot (gehout) as die beste ander rooi kultivar en met die KWV Petit Verdot/ Pinotage/Carignan (gehout) as beste rooi versnit. SPOGDINEE Die kompetisie se indrukwekkende versameling nasionale trofeë is oorhandig by ’n spogdinee wat deur Agri-Expo by die Elsenburg-landboukollege aangebied is. Altesaam 52 wyne het klaswenner-status behaal en 117 wyne het goue medaljes ontvang. Vanjaar se 1 387 inskrywings is deur 88 spesialis-beoordelaars op 13 panele in oënskou geneem. Die beoordelaars was dit eens dat die gehalte van die 2026-wyne puik is, ondanks ‘n uitdagende parstyd wat wingerdboukundiges en wynmakers se tegniese vermoë deeglik beproef het, lui ‘n mediaverklaring.

BESTE VERTONING Die voorsitter van die SA Jongwynskou, Christo Pienaar, het gesê die gehalte van die jongwyne het vanjaar besonder beïndruk. Ondanks die uitdagende omstandighede het die sleutelkultivars deurgaans uitnemende wyne opgelewer, met sterk geurkonsentrasie, gebalanseerde sure en suikers, asook uitstekende kleurontwikkeling in rooiwyne, het hy gesê. “Dit is opwindend om Kaapstad as nuwe streek hartlik welkom te heet by die SA Jongwynskou en verblydend dat die nasionale wenners van oor die land se wynproduksiegebiede kom, sowel as van ‘n verskeidenheid tipes wynmakerye. Die SA Jongwynskou bly ná 194 jaar steeds relevant vir die wynbedryf. Dit gee ’n waardevolle eerste kykie na die gehalte en potensiaal van die nuwe oesjaar, asook vroeë aanduidings van nuwe wyne en wyntendense.”

THINKING OUT LOUD

LEWENSKIEKIE

People on the streets are also human On a sunny winter's afternoon in Cape Town, it is easy to become absorbed in the beauty of the city. The blue skies, warm sunlight and busy streets can make it tempting to believe that everything is well. But on the streets, another reality exists: one that many people walk past without a second thought It is the reality of people living there. For many, the sight of someone sleeping under a bridge, sitting on a pavement or pushing their belongings in a trolley has become part of the city's landscape. We see them, but don’t really see them. We make assumptions about how they got there and, sometimes, we judge them. But perhaps the most important lesson is that we should not judge. People living on the streets have hopes, talents, friendships, memories and dreams. Their circumstances are different from ours, but their humanity is not. I recently wrote about Sally Roman, who has lived on the streets of Cape Town for more than 20 years. She arrived in the city as a teenager, hoping to find a better life. Her journey did not unfold as she had hoped. Yet, sitting on the Fan Walk in Green Point, with a pair of scissors in her hand, Sally is not defined by homelessness. She is a self-taught hairdresser. She loves children. She loved singing in her school

PEOPLE LIVING ON THE STREETS HAVE HOPES, TALENTS, FRIENDSHIPS, MEMORIES ...

choir. She describes herself as someone who gets along with everyone. What is equally striking is the bond she has formed with the people around her. Her friend speaks warmly about her after she cuts his hair. He is happy with the result, but his words reveal that the value of the interaction goes beyond a haircut. He describes Sally as a nice person who is always happy. These friendships remind us that people living on the streets build communities too. They look out for one another. They share stories, laughter and sometimes the little they have. They form genuine connections because, in a difficult environment, having someone who knows you, understands you and accepts you can mean everything. Life on the street is undoubtedly difficult. It can expose people to violence, hunger, illness, loneliness and uncertainty. But it can also create bonds that are difficult for those outside that world to understand. During Women's Month, Sally's message that women should support one another is particularly powerful. She speaks against the tendency to put other women down and calls for more love between women. Perhaps that message extends beyond women. We all need to ask ourselves how we treat people whose lives look different from ours. Compassion does not mean ignoring the challenges associated with homelessness. It means recognising the person behind the circumstances. It means understanding that not everyone chose to live on the street. For many, a series of difficult circumstances, limited opportunities, family breakdown, poverty or other challenges led them there. Sometimes, what a person needs most is not judgement, but a listening ear, a conversation, a meal, a kind word, a moment of dignity. We may not be able to change someone's life, but we can choose how we respond to them. Because the people on our streets are someone's friend, someone's parent, someone's child and above all, they are human beings deserving of love, compassion and dignity. - KAYLYNNE BANTOM

BRIEWE/LETTERS

Concern for plight of Rawsonville Thank you for I am writing out of deep concern for the community and local businesses of Rawsonville, a small farming town. Following the severe rain and ﬂooding across the province, the main bridge connecting surrounding farms and communities to the town centre sustained critical damage. It is currently closed to all vehicular traffic and accessible only to pedestrians. As a result, residents and farmers are forced to take a 60 km detour to reach the other side or travel all the way to Worcester to conduct basic business. Local business owners are suffering severely under these circumstances. Several have had to lay off staff, and some have been forced to close down entirely due to the drastic decline in foot traffic and trade. Despite political representatives visiting for multiple meetings, no practical repairs or relief efforts have begun to assist this farming community.

This situation imposes a massive ﬁnancial and logistical strain on everyone, forcing workers and residents to commute signiﬁcantly longer distances for work and daily necessities. It is disheartening to see both national and local governments leave a struggling community to fend for itself. Furthermore, I was informed that a local company offered to create a temporary crossing for cars to relieve the congestion, but was reportedly halted by a nearby mining company along the river (though I cannot independently verify this report). It raises a painful question: why must smaller, vulnerable communities suffer the most and wait the longest for emergency assistance? For anyone travelling in or near the area, please make a conscious effort to support our local businesses. JACQUES, E-mail

Traffic services need more visibility There are comments made by the mayor about being the best municipality in the country — with concern for the well-being, safety and security of the citizens of this city but it appears that the mayor and the senior official responsible for safety and security have a total disregard. Many letters have been written in the local Wednesday newsmedia regarding the disregard for stop signs, yield signs, red traffic lights, but there are no traffic police who spend time in the suburbs patrolling. There has been no evidence by the mayor or the senior official providing instructions to the traffic police, to apply the law, neither any mention of these lawless incidents are stated as key performance indicators. Visibility of traffic police is only evident when a road incident occurs and they arrive in their numbers, but during the normal daily traffic movement "they are out of sight, out of mind". The success of any organisation is determined when the most senior official in the business drives the company through KPI's down to the lowest level to ensure the desired results are achieved. At the City. Fines should be issued to a few citizens for disobeying, disregarding stop signs, yield signs, traffic lights and tailgating, and the message will soon have the desired effect. DISGUSTED, Uitzicht, Durbanville JP Smith, Mayco member for safety and security, responds: The City’s traffic service issues thousands of ﬁnes to motorists each month. As indicated previously, these statistics are available and traffic service reports are presented monthly at the subcouncil. Therefore, to claim there is little to no enforcement is disingenuous.

The efforts of the safety and security directorate to address the lawlessness on the roads are well documented. In addition, the City’s traffic service is now finalising the administrative logistics required for enforcement of the amended by-law recently gazetted. The amendments centre on the provisions for impounding vehicles and related penalties. Now that it has been gazetted, traffic officers are able to impound vehicles in a number of instances, including where the vehicle is being driven on a public road in a manner that is reckless and poses an immediate or imminent danger to the life of passengers, road users, or pedestrians. In the last year, between July 2025 and June 2026, the City’s traffic service recorded nearly four million offences. During the period, they made 2 767 arrests — up from 2 255 the year before. Drunk driving arrests increased by 32% from 1 619 in 2024/25 to 2 138. The Traffic Enforcement Unit recorded the following successes. A total of 20 deployments were held in Durbanville (9), Uitzicht (6), and Fisantekraal (5); a total of 1 143 fines were issued in Durbanville (658), Uitzicht (213) and Fisantekraal (272); and a total of 41 taxis impounded in Durbanville (23), Uitzicht (9) and Fisantekraal (9). The traffic enforcement statistics and the hundreds of thousands of complaints every year are key reasons why we introduced this by-law in the first place, and then spent three years working on even tougher amendments, to address the continued lawlessness on our roads, perpetrated by the motoring public and not just taxi drivers. I encourage residents to report reckless and negligent driving to the public emergency communication centre on 021 480 7700.

your kindness

Dear kind strangers, I hope this message somehow ﬁnds its way to the wonderful couple who paid for our meal at Wimpy Groot Phesantekraal Mall on Saturday morning 8 August. I want you to know how deeply touched I was by your kindness. At a time when I’m was struggling to walk because of my Parkinson’s Disease, your thoughtful gesture brought me comfort, dignity and a reminder that there are still people in this world who notice others and care. You did not just pay for a meal - you gave us a moment of warmth and encouragement on a difficult day. Your generosity meant far more than you could know, and I will remember your kindness for a long time. Thank you for showing such kindness to someone you didn’t even know. May the goodness you shared return to you many times over. With sincere gratitude, a grateful stranger. YVETTE MEYER, Buh-Rein Estate

The unsafe outdoors I read with a wry smile the letter about Saturday-night window shopping in Bellville. (TB 19/8) I too remember Voortrekker Road as the heartbeat of our weekends, the strolling, the chatting, the simple pleasure of looking before buying. But I must respectfully push back on one point. Online shopping is not the villain here. It is a tool, and like any tool, it depends on how we use it. Yes, a website cannot replace the warmth of a shopkeeper's greeting or the pleasure of browsing with a friend. But online shopping has also given elderly residents, people with disabilities and working parents access to goods and services they might otherwise never reach. It is not impersonal by nature, it is efficient. The real tragedy is not that we shop online, but that we feel unsafe outdoors. If we want our town centres back, we must ﬁght for them not merely mourn their passing. Bellville is not beyond saving. New developments, improved lighting, visible policing and community-driven initiatives can change the picture. The Brackenfell Business Improvement District has shown what organised community action can achieve. There is no reason Bellville's CBD cannot follow suit. The Valiant is long gone, and no website will bring it back. But neither will nostalgia alone revive a street. If every resident who remembers the good old days committed to visiting a local shop once a week, the difference would be visible within months. I share the longing. But longing without action is just a sigh. Let us shop local, support local and walk our streets again. carefully, yes, but deliberately. HAPPY SHOPPER, Brackenfell

Graves’ warrior turns diagnosis into book DESIRÉE RORKE

AUTHOR TACKLES MYTHS SURROUNDING GRAVES’ DISEASE

DESIREE.RORKE@TYGERBURGER.CO.ZA

hen his heart started racing and the weight started falling off, people told him he was "just stressed". Diagnosed with Graves' disease in early 2024, Thembalethu John Kumatana from Kraaifontein has turned two years of living with the autoimmune condition into a guide for others. His book, Living with Graves

Disease: A South African Perspective, published this year, grew out of the journaling he started just to make sense of it all. Born in Elliot in the Eastern Cape in 1982, the author wanted to share his journey with others in the hope of strengthening them.

Each book represents a different chapter of his life and a different journey of healing.

"I have come to learn that you do not write for applause. You write because you must, because your story might be the one that helps someone else feel less alone," he tells TygerBurger. Graves' is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, causing it to produce too much thyroid hormone. The result, he says, is that the whole body goes into overdrive, racing heart, unexplained weight loss, insomnia, trembling hands and mood swings. "The hardest part was hearing 'but you look fine'," he says. "Because not every day is the same. Some days I had energy. Other days I could barely get out of bed from fatigue and muscle weakness." Thembalethu says thyroid disease is under-discussed in South Africa, where getting a diagnosis, understanding medication like Carbimazole and Methimazole, managing frequent blood tests and covering the costs is "a journey". He also tackles three myths head-on, that patients caused the disease themselves, that a pill cures it, and that it only affects the thyroid. Graves' can also impact the eyes, skin and heart, and remission can be followed by relapse.

WHY THE BOOK "I'm not a doctor. I'm a Graves warrior," he says. "And our job is to educate and share." He says he wrote the book so the next person diagnosed doesn't feel alone, so families understand what is happening, and to build awareness and survival strategies together. His advice to others is to ask questions at every doctor's visit, find a community, track symptoms and advocate for yourself in the healthcare system. "If you're reading this and you've just been diagnosed, please know: it gets better. It's a journey, a process." Writing a book is an experience that is difficult to put into words, says Thembalethu who has authored several other books on topics such as the importance of fatherhood and a counselling guide. "It begins as a thought, a whisper in your heart that refuses to leave you. A story that needs to be told. There is a deep excitement that comes with it, the moment when the first words finally find their way onto the page. Your heart beats faster. You feel a sense of purpose, a feeling that your voice will finally be heard. Seeing your name on the cover for the first time is an overwhelming moment, a mixture of tears, joy and disbelief. It is the moment you realize, I really did it." he says. "But behind that excitement is

Thembalethu John Kumatana

also hard work and vulnerability. “We do not write for ourselves. We write for people to understand. “Everyone is going through something. So our role is to communicate, to educate, to inspire, and I have chosen to do that through writing. I do not know any other way of fighting my battles, but when I get a pen and paper, I transfer my feelings and it makes a lot of sense to me. It leaves me lightened. “It relieves the stress, it relieves the anxiety. Writing for me is therapeutic. That is how I have found peace, between those pieces of paper.” For more information contact the author on 071 880 2717.

Youth Classical Concert celebrates 55th year YOUNG SOLOISTS WILL PERFORM ON STAGE

Soprano Phoebe Damons (20) from Bellville

he annual Youth Classical Concert celebrates its 55th year at Artscape on Saturday 5 September at 19:00. Twelve young classical musicians and singers who auditioned successfully will perform as soloists with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO), conducted by Brandon Phillips. Presented by Artscape and the CPO, supported by the City of Cape Town, the concert gives young musicians the opportunity to perform with a symphony orchestra on a professional stage. Audition candidates had to be bona ﬁde music students, perform at a high standard and reside or study in the Western Cape. The concert is a celebration of young musical talent, not a competition. The programme includes concertos by Ravel, Mozart, Shostakovich, Hofmeyr, Weber, Ibert, Khachaturian and Donizetti, with arias by Saint-Saëns and Handel. SOLOISTS The soloists, aged between 12 and 22, include pianists Giorgia Ehlers (19) from Mowbray, Alexander McIvor (18) from Cape Town and siblings Xizhi Aiden Luo (15) and Weien Amy Luo (18) from Stellenbosch. Other instrumentalists are cellist Solange Rojas (22), raised in Lima, Peru, marimba player Kyrah Adams

(20) from Paarl, clarinettist Benjamin Monvoisin (12) from Loevenstein, euphonium player Kumkani Kabane (20) from Cape Town and saxophonist James Cilliers (20) from Durbanville. Singers are sopranos Phoebe Damons (20) from Bellville and Sinesipho Tokwe (19) from Observatory, and mezzo-soprano Lilitha Nkuku (20) from Goodwood. Each soloist receives mentoring from Phillips, resident conductor of the CPO, head of woodwinds at the South African College of Music at the University of Cape Town and conductor of the UCT ensembles. This year marks the 11th Youth Classical Concert he will conduct. Since the concert's inception, more than 600 young musicians have performed with the CPO. Many are now soloists or members of South African and international symphony orchestras and opera companies. A record 75 applications to audition were received this year. The concert runs for two hours, including a 30-minute interval. Fine Music Radio will broadcast the concert live. Tickets are R100 for adults, R50 for pensioners, students and scholars, and R80 for block bookings of ﬁve or more. Book through Webtickets or Artscape Dial-a-Seat on 021 421 7695. No children under age six.

International ballet talent comes to CT The 13th South African International Ballet Competition (SAIBC) concluded with a gala at the Artscape Opera House on Thursday 6 August. This year's competition, supported by the City, brought together 118 dancers aged between nine and 22. They competed across the Scholar, Junior and Senior divisions. Dancers took part in Classical Ballet, Contemporary, Choreographic and Ensemble categories. Competitors from South Africa and countries including Cuba, Russia and the United Kingdom (UK) gathered in Cape Town for the semi-finals and finals, highlighting the competition's growing reputation as a leading international ballet platform on the African continent. Founded by Dirk Badenhorst, artistic director of Mzansi Ballet, the SAIBC remained the only international ballet competition of its kind in Africa. It provided young dancers with performance experience, international exposure and opportunities to connect with leading figures in the ballet industry. The competition, a member of the International Federation of Ballet Competitions, was adjudicated by an international jury comprising Joseph Morrissey from the United States of America, Sergey Usanov from Russia, Callum Hastie from Australia, Kate Coyne from the UK, Lorelei Bari from Romania/ Germany, Ariel Mejic from Cuba and South Africa's Thoriso Magongwa, who

was based in Chechnya. The closing gala featured performances by competition winners and guest artists. Prima ballerina Angela Revie of Mzansi Ballet performed the Walpurgisnacht Pas de Deux with fellow Mzansi Ballet dancer and Cuban juror Ariel Méjica. The Awakening of Flora Pas de Deux, composed by Riccardo Drigo, was performed by Mikayla van Heerden and Royal Ballet School student and SAIBC alumnus Nico Prinsloo. The Solace Duet was performed by Omogolo Gaorekwe and Tshenolo Tshoma. Cape Town City Ballet's Zachary Healy also stepped in at short notice as a non-competitor to partner Bolshoi Ballet School graduate Luna Helm after her original partner was injured during the event. Recognition awards were presented to Artscape Chief Executive Officer Marlene le Roux, Carolyn Steyn, John Linden, Sharon Friedman, Alfred Hinkel, Andrew Warth and Magongwa. Badenhorst said the standard of entries continued to grow each year, adding that the competition allowed young dancers to inspire one another, build friendships, celebrate excellence and create opportunities for future generations. The City said its partnership with the SAIBC reﬂected its commitment to artistic excellence and the growth of the performing arts by creating opportunities for young creatives to develop their skills and gain international exposure.

Die komedie Art is van 1 tot 12 September in die Baxter-teater te sien. Hierdie internasionaal bekroonde teaterkomedie volg op die sukses van die Afrikaanse verwerking, Kuns, wat in 2025 by die KKNK gedebuteer het. Die produksie is wyd geprys en het later ook sy sukses by die Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees voortgesit. Marthinus Basson, gevierde teatermaker, is die regisseur van die plaaslike Engelse produksie met bekroonde vertolkings deur Wilhelm van der Walt, Wessel Pretorius en Ludwig Binge. Kritici het die ensemble-spel tussen dié drie akteurs as een van die produksie se sterk punte uitgesonder.

Art, geskryf deur die Franse dramaturg Yasmina Reza en in Engels vertaal deur die Oscar-bekroonde skrywer Christopher Hampton, is een van die suksesvolste kontemporêre komedies. Die storielyn is ooglopend eenvoudig: Serge koop ’n duur kunswerk wat geheel en al uit wit lyne op ’n wit skilderdoek bestaan. Sy vriend Marc is geskok. Hul gemeenskaplike vriend Yvan bevind hom in die middel. Wat begin as ’n meningsverskil oor kuns, ontrafel gou tot ’n skreeusnaakse, vlymskerp ondersoek van vriendskap, lojaliteit, identiteit, smaak en smaak. Kaartjies kos R220 en is by Webtickets beskikbaar.

Ludwig Binge, Wessel Pretorius en Wilhelm van der Walt is te sien in Art.

BENJAMIN WARD IS AWARDED THE PREMIER BOWLER AWARD

Durbanville cricketer awarded

AVRIL FILLIES enjamin Ward, leg spin bowler from Durbanville Cricket Club, was recently awarded the Premier Bowler Award for the 2025-2026 season as the leading wicket taker with 56 wickets at the awards ceremony of the Western Province Cricket Association in Newlands. His average is 11.34 per wicket and economy of 3.64 per over, with his best of 6/20. He was also awarded the Durbanville Cricket Club Player’s Player for the 2025’26 season, as well as the leading bowler at the National Club Championships.

SHOWMANSHIP AND DRAMA Ward attended Elkanah House and Parklands College and is playing cricket for 16 years. He is a big fan of the late Shane Warne and Ricky Ponting from Australia and admired their showmanship and drama they created which add to the excitement of the game. “I am a big fan of creating an atmosphere, like them. I feel good about going into the next season as the leading wicket taker. Last season was a good season, but that doesn’t mean for one second that I have any expectations for the 2026-’27 season. Every season is new, and cricket is a team game, there are so many variables going into every match that you cannot take it for granted. I am hoping I

LEG SPIN BOWLER CELEBRATED FOR BEING THE 2025-2026 SEASON’S LEADING WICKET TAKER can contribute where I can,” he says. HOBBIES For hobbies he likes learning things and taught himself how to play the piano and do some card tricks, but wouldn’t say he has any specific hobbies. His other sport is playing tennis and he plays golf really badly. “I used to be a goalkeeper for my school football team too, because I knew I didn’t have to run as much as the other guys. I have so many things that motivate me. Family, my teammates, coaches, my girlfriend and a constant drive to improve, even if sometimes it really doesn’t go my way,” Ward says. To establish which coach had the best impact on his cricket career would by unfair as he played a lot of cricket for a lot of different teams and listing all the coaches is tough. FANTASTIC CLUB ENVIRONMENT “The coaches at the Complete Cricketer Academy (Craig Copeland, Robbie van Harte, and my dad Laurie Ward) have been there from the start for me, Craig in particular being a role model and friend

during the tough times that are inevitable as a leg spin bowler. At junior level, David Sandmann was an incredible mentor and helped me believe in myself when I often didn’t. “For Jersey my coach Neil MacRae has been fundamental in my development as a player too. Ryan Bailey, my coach at

Maties, also helped me grow as a player and put trust in my bowling at various competitions and tournaments around the country. “Finally now at Durbanville, Sean Ackerman has helped me settle in to a fantastic club environment. He helps me control my emotions (which is no easy task) and always aims to get the most out of us all as players and as individuals. I have been incredibly fortunate with the coaching I have been provided with throughout my career,” he says.
