Increase the risk of payment disruptions. A Mitchells Plain crime activist has expressed concern about sexual abuse of minors in the community, saying she deals with a new case daily.

Practice every day. You've got to do put in your time. You can't miss out. And I think these are the kind of habits that we want to teach in schools as well. You know, just in the regular school system, not just on the sports field. Mark Potterton, thank you for talking to us this afternoon, Principal of Immaculata Secondary School. In Soweto, Andrew says, I believe in some Mitchell's Plains schools, troublesome kids are told to remain home and only attend for exams, but they are.

And the safety with regard to that particular area and the immediate action that the city of Cape Town now has to take. But if you look at the public protectors report, it also affects many other areas like Dunoon, Blackiesdorf, Mitchellsplain, and many other areas. So at the end of the day, as a mayoral prospective mayor of the city of Cape Town, what would I have to do? We cannot ignore the public protectors report. That is one of your first actions. You've got to do an audit throughout the city of Cape Town, also with regards to

In Constantia, Durbanville, half an hour tops I saw on the group the other day, the truck is there repairing the light. The same services you have to for the same complaint in Mitchellsplain, any other community on the Cape Flats, it's maybe a week or two that you have to wait. So a well run city for who? When we keep on saying that the DA is doing the best and we keep on showcasing and saying that you know what, in comparison to the ANC, near Clarence, we cannot keep doing that comparison.

Well, considering the colored voter, I mean, I come from the Mitchellsplain area and I've kind of witnessed the target on especially Mitchellsplain because our people seem to be so susceptible and in a particular mindset of fear. If they're going to vote for a particular party other than the Democratic Alliance, they're going to continue to suffer. But yet, we have witnessed a herd mentality. And I'm sorry, I see it a lot in Mitchell Splain.

This is more than local. It's personal. It's personal. This is Cape Talk. We join the conversation with Clarence Ford. The news, we're into that third and final hour. We've got that mayor candidate conversation that's going to be happening at Town Hall. So folks have gathered here with us at our labs in Mitchell's Plain. And so to our mayoral.

GBV Scourge. And we've been chatting to Linda Phillips and Captain Abrams from Saps in Mitchell's Plain. We are going to take a closing comment. Let's go to Dr. Sherith Sanger. I think if you can bring it near and soon to be, Doctor. Sorry. I don't want to scratch out that DR because I think maybe you can bring it all together. Political whirl, political whirl. Yeah.

Would represent this amazing job that they have in the manner that this captain does. Okay, being long in Mitchell's plan, I can vouch for that. The sector commanders do go out and we do have meetings on the fields, open fields, so that we can draw. But for me, training is important for your visible police officers because they are the ones that is the first one that comes to your house. And if they treat you with hostility as

Are in Mitchell's Plain. We are looking to decisively deal with the issues, and we're wanting the political leaders to bring political will to the equation and put a stop to the trends that, yeah, we haven't even reined in the trends. It is still growing. So, Dr. Alicia English is a founding member of the Mitchells Plain Legacy Project, a resident here as well. This is Poverty of the Soul. You're looking to maybe fill up some vacuums there, are you? Yeah, I think when we talk about poverty, poverty of the soul,

Important than that, and that's poverty of the soul because only that could manifest in the ugly patriarchy that we are experiencing, the social ills. We get poverty, but we don't get the ugliness that comes with poverty of the soul. With you know, people I've walked across the continent, but there's an anger in this particular country. Maybe I should talk to Dr. Alicia English, founder, member of the Mitchell's Plain Legacy Project. We are getting a fix on GBV.

To talk about protection orders. We often hear stories in South Africa about police kind of failing victims with protection orders. What's going wrong there, and how would you treat a protection order in Mitchell's Plain? Well, a protection order is a very good document for a victim. And unfortunately, our people do not know that. That's why my driver is always educating our people.

Care center just for reference purposes. It's at Mitchells Plain Hospital. It was opened to provide medical, legal, and forensic support to GBV survivors. It handles, apparently, a very heavy clinical caseload distinct from police dockets. Have you got experience with this Tutuzela care center? Is that the kind of model that is an important part of our response to this pandemic? I really think that that is important.

Because this is more than local, it's personal. It's personal. This is Cape Talk. We join the conversation with Clarence Ford. And a very warm welcome back to views and news with me, Clarence. It is seven minutes past 10 o'clock into that second hour. And of course, it is a live town hall. It's coming from our labs in Mitchell's Plain. We are, of course, talking to some.

Stop with you, Captain, because I've been looking at the stats. Is it correct to break the entire Mitchells Plain down into the Mitchells Plain Precinct and the Lentecher Precinct? Yes, that's correct. Mitchells Plain used to be on its own only had Mitchellsplain Police Station, and government then recognized that the population was growing and we needed more police stations. So the Lentecher Police Station.

Is a town hall. We are in Mitchell's Plain confronting the issues that the community of Mitchell's Plain is confronting. GBV on the agenda. Please be part of the conversation via WhatsApp at 072-567-1567. Plenty of voice notes in as well. We play catch up on that on that WhatsApp line. A warm welcome to you, Lynn, and Sherith Sanger, and of course, Captain Abrams. It's great to have you with us. Thank you. Thank you for having us. Maybe I should.

And while local government elections are due for the 4th of November, today, a whole lot of GBV cases are going to be brought and charges are going to be brought to Mitchells Plain SAPS or Lentia SAPS to primary stations, police stations in Mitchells Plain. So we're going to have a roundtable on GBV. Yes, gangsterism is a problem. It plays out in the streets, visible to other community members, and often the

I think a lot of people is going to use that to inform their vote. We're going to have to wrap it there. Oscar vanieran, thank you, Dr. Oscar van Yeren, setting the scene. We are in Mitchell's plane today. Of course, there are important things, new things. For example, the Auditor General's finding, a finding that marks the end of Caetown's long streak as the country's sole metro with a completely clean audit. This is new, and we should be flagging this.

They had 41.8% of the vote. 2011, 60.92% of the vote. 2016, 66% of the vote. And I was very fortunate to be a radio presenter for a long time. I know that for four years, I was with Mayor Heland Zilla, and she had the mayor's show right across from me in the same studio. And she would talk to community. She would talk to people from Mitchell's Plain. She would talk to people from Guggs, from Kyalicha. The lights weren't working.

Being able to kind of take this model also elsewhere as well. Yeah, and what about maybe incentives, incentives for entrepreneurs, social entrepreneurs like you to come and join you in Mitchell's play and provide work over here and opportunity over here? You know, there's a lot of social enterprises that do amazing work. Entrepreneurs has got a very kind of social mandate. I think there's an opportunity for institutions and partners to really kind of get alongside many of these entrepreneurs. One of our

Growth venture, residents were forced to leave their community every morning. When we talk about Mitchell's Plain, we talk about all the townships around Caetown as well. Enter our Labs. Now, our Labs are host today specifically Marlon Parker, who founded R Labs in Mitchell's Plain in 2008, an award-winning social enterprise. They deal in innovation and tech academy, they deal in incubation and acceleration, they deal in social innovation, and they

And famous side. We're going to really deal with issues on that particular front. And of course, ask those mayoral candidates to join us a little later on some pretty serious questions about the needs of the city and the communities that they're seeking to serve. So that's Views and News, a very special town hall out of Mitchell's Plain, and you're welcome. Views and News with Clarence Ford. We all have a voice. Use yours. Call 0 to 1, double force.

It's personal. It's personal. This is Cape Talk. We join the conversation with Clarence Ford. And it's a very good morning to you. We are live from Mitchell's Plain this morning. It is eight minutes past nine o'clock. My name is Clarence. It's views and news through till 12 o'clock. Mitchell's Plain, Mitchell's Plain, Mitchell's Plain. 50 years old. A very significant milestone accomplished, of course, this year and being celebrated around Mitchell's Plain. We are here to talk about.

There's some tough questions that they're going to have to deal with a little later on. So that's where we are in Mitchell's Plain at our labs. And we are going to get up front and personal with the mayoral candidates. And I'm looking forward to it. It's Clarence Ford in 18 minutes' time on our conversation of parental choice and school choice. Lisa says private school almost not a choice if you have a girl child for better safety and an academically strong girl child for better learning opportunities.

So we're going to have a roundtable on related matters. Lynn Phillips of the Cape Flats Safety Forum will join us. Dr. Alicia English, founder and member of the Mitchell's Plain Legacy Project. Dr. Sherith Sanger, acting director of UWC's Gender Equity Unit. And Saps will also be represented. Captain Abrams will join us for the initial roundtable on the GBV Scourge and then a mayoral debate. And again, we have some of the mayoral.

Clarence Ford and views and news is at his election roundtable in Westridge in Mitchell's Plain this morning. Clarence, what can we expect? I'm feeling a little vulnerable without you by my side, but I brought some incense to some young stockies with me today. We are in Mitchell's Plain, and we know the reality of Mitchell's Plain, born out of the hushed geometry of apartheid spatial planning, conceived in the 70s under the Group Areas Act. We are at a place called

Welcome from 9 to 12. It's town halls, and we are planning three. This is number two of three. And I know that it's going to be the ground zero of a battle for support in Mitchell's Plain. People are looking for the colored vote to essentially deliver some very significant political change in South Africa or in Cape Town specifically. Let's be clear about that. And we're going to hear what the pitch is essentially.

Their dreams for a Captown. We also gonna look at the issues as they manifest in Mitchell's plane. Lots of issues that we're gonna contend with out on that side. But again, a bit of a microcosm. Mitchell's plan is. We're gonna look at GBV very specifically in Mitchell's plan. Do you think that gangsterism is the big issue in Mitchell's plan? It is, in fact, gender-based violence. And we're gonna round up the people. We're gonna talk to the people about GBV in the context.

Don't forget that WhatsApp line: 072567-1567. Yeah, did you think that he was only capable of honky tonk? He was capable of a whole lot more. Um now tomorrow I'm going to be out in Mitchell's Plain and I'm quite looking forward to it. We'll have another couple of mayoral candidates joining us. We're going to be talking to them about their pledges and their

Certain truths when you speak of certain things, right? So, areas mentioned included Mitchell's Plain, Hanover Park, and Al Dorado Park. And then, more than a year later, the MPs want clarity on what those measures were and whether they have been implemented or not as well. What happened to the promises? The promised extraordinary measures to tackle the gang violence within the Western Cape because Umton said ordinary policing wasn't enough.

Things that one can recognize and identify as the child feels safe, you know, as the feeling of safety accesses the child, and you can see the child becomes more relaxed in this space. Okay, well, there we are. Lots of hope there. Wendy Abrams, the founder of the Advanced Educos Foundation, resident of Strangfon Tain, grew up in Mitchellsplain, and this is really for the Mitchellsplain Safety and Development Forum, launching a trauma-informed quality program for.

Thank you. When you're saying Stranfon, I'm being very nostalgic because I've certainly been to the beach in Stranfonte and to Mitchell's Plain, and I plan to come to Cape Town this weekend. So there we are. I am being nostalgic. Having said that, there are problems, and we know there are many problems in township developments like Mitchell's Plain. So tell me what the plan is. Okay, so Mitchell's Plain Safety and Development Forum is a forum that brings together government, police, civil society, and the business sector all around.
