And Pippa is a near neighbour. She never. Okay, right. Why? Because the dividing line is Daviliers, houses on the northern side. Okay, so there's a kind of separation that does make that kind of

Come. It's great to have you with us. Thank you so much, Clarence. Thanks for having me. And I look forward to having you on the ocean with us. I'm there every day. I'm there every day, literally, most days in the week. I'm lucky to live pretty close to it. But I think people in Strandfontein live pretty close to it. I don't think they, and people in Kailicha lives, they live very close to the ocean. I don't think necessarily they see it in the way that I do. Why not? Well,

To be concentrated around looming elections, and you would have been impacted by it. You would have been impacted on the end two. You would have been impacted in recent weeks on the Art 300. And Mfuleni residents are vowing to continue such protests on the ART 300 and on the N2. We're going to get close to the action. What are the demands? What are the needs of Mfuleni residents?

Candidates who actually live in the area. The other being Shami Masali of Al-Jama lives in the Sabran Park area. Rashad lives in Rondebosch East. All the rest don't live in Rondebosch East. But I want to talk about the emergence of civic associations, local community groups who are now saying politics shouldn't be left to political parties. Community members, residents, neighbors should start finding their voices.

And that is, you should be only allowed to register where you live, where your residence is. That's it. Simple. Rashad Davids is the chairperson of the Civic Association of Rondebosch East Care. He's contesting Ward 60 as an independent candidate, but he is contesting on behalf of the Rondebosch Civics Association. What's quite interesting in Ward 60, he's only one of two.

My tires twice during the three years I worked. I really enjoy the job, but the driving is taxing on your body and your pockets. Lester, my brother, used to drive 300 kilometers a day, but that was because he had a big area to cover with my father. You can maybe explain just what business you are in. Kashiva says: I drive from Platoklov to Islamia in Lansdowne.

Let me talk about South Africa because I am indigenous South African, but I've done research in the whole continent, which I'm not even getting funding for a self-funded project, trying to find out exactly how we live because I'm advantaged to speak so many languages in South Africa, though, being taught, I can speak Nyanga, I can speak Bemba, I can speak Israeli. That's how I'm blessed. And now I know who I am, I know my roots, and I've encountered such things.

Police spokesperson Dakwala says Police Commissioner Sesake.

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.

In an unrelated matter, anti-gang unit members have conducted a search at the premises in Hanover Park following a tip-off. They searched the premises and found a 9-millimeter pistol with ammunition in the house. The suspects will make their respective court appearances in the Athlor Magistrates Court. The South African Police Service has been unable to recruit new members due to a cancelled 360 million.

Two suspects for the illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. They acted on information about the Red VW Golf with armed occupants driving around the Athlone area last night. And these arrests follow a gang-related shooting in Athlone's Belgravia suburb yesterday morning when a man was shot shortly after dropping his child at school. And Iraq's central bankers devalued the dinar currency against the dollar today in response to the disruption.

Immediately. The second judge in a different matter did not release the applicants but ordered Home Affairs to immediately process their asylum interviews. As a result, Judge President Ladwaba placed a moratorium on hearing all similar applications in Gauteng until legal certainty is established. Kanimapanga, SABC News, Johannesburg. Police are probing the murder of a 43-year-old man who was gunned down in Bonteville on the K flats last night. Police spokesperson.

A sporting dilemma in Cape Town. Let's hear what she's got to say. These questions are so tough, man. Sports. But if I absolutely have to, it's going to be Cape Town FC there at Athlone Stadium. The Stormers and Alai Anag teams are wonderful. But I think nothing beats like a local soccer game on the flats, the vibe and everything and the kids and all that conversation.

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

The department says false claims are circulating that Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber, or the department, decided to suspend so-called good cause interviews for asylum seekers. It says the change was not a political decision, but the direct consequence of a binding constitutional court judgment handed down in July. These are not the stories at 12 or as they happen. EWN traffic in Philippi, there's a protest on government.

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.

Is not the Democratic Alliance. It is other parties who are still understanding and comprehending the roots and where they come from. Okay, I'm going to restrict you to three minutes so we can kind of, in a nice way, equitable way, kind of share the time. But let's go to Dereline. Dereline, your view. Travis, Action ESA is not yet. Are you guilty? Okay. Sorry. Action ESA is not here to perpetuate the inequality that's already existing in the Western Cape, especially on the Cape Flats.

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.

Been patiently waiting to just fill up in time to save some cash. And then they want the windows to be cleaned, tires to be pumped, oil to be checked, and then other people behind that are getting agitated because they want to move on. Kasatu has described the fuel price increase as a devastating blow to workers, while the South African National Taxi Council hasn't yet decided what this means for taxi fares. Lauren Isaacs, Eyewitness News, Goodwood.

Was among the thousands of motorists queuing for fuel yesterday. Hi there, how are you? Good. Can you fill up? Unleaded? Please, thank you. Motorists queued at the engine garage along Vasco Boulevard in Goodwood until late last night. Forecourt manager Chris Cronier says he's had all hands on deck with attendance running between eight pumps since Monday. He says many drivers want extra services, much to the dismay of those who

I think by now we all know what is unfolding on the Cape Flats, and we all know the challenges, we all know the shortcomings. I want to speak about the solutions, the solutions that Action ESA has to offer the residents of the Cape Flats. First and foremost, you all know I'm an activist, I'm very passionate about substance use disorder, and I recognize the many moms who have to flee from their homes because that's where it starts: you know, being violated, being attacked by their very family members, their very children. As Action ESA, we will ensure that we have safe spaces, safe spaces for

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.

Thanks, Clarence. Good morning. Police have arrested two suspects for the illegal possession of firearms and ammunition in the Athlone area. Last night, members of the Maitland Flying Squad followed up on information that occupants of a Red Volkswagen Golf, which was driving in the area, were armed. Meanwhile, a search continues for gunmen responsible for an alleged gang-related murder in Athlone. The shooting happened outside a primary school in Belgravia, Road.

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.

Thank you so much for your call. Bona Kele is on the line to us from Kailicha. Bona Kele, good morning. A very good morning. How are you doing? I'm fine, thanks, Bonakele. You're late today. It's 9:47. Where have you been? Look, I'm on the road. That's the thing. In fact, but look, there's something that worries me. I'm gonna talk about the issue of lungies.

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.

Solutions that are going to be worthy of our time and consideration. You come with solutions. You're solutions-oriented. Is that a personality or what? Is that a deep faith in the people that you grew up with, in your social history, in the community? You got a sense of what is possible here? I mean, you know, when you grow up on the Cape Flats, you have to be solution-driven. When there's no meal to eat, you think about the next meal. You gotta make a plan.

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

You really have shown us a way to deal with apartheid spatial planning. This could easily be replicated in other townships. Absolutely. You know, for us as Ard Labs, we've always kind of believed that your greatest investment that you can make is investing in people. And that has always kind of been part of our mission. We want to see the reconstruction of communities. And I mean, over the last couple of years, we've seen that, how we've been able to kind of start the journey from the Cape Flats.

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.

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
