Plumstead

Problem out in Bowward Road in Claremont. Yeah, I was going to say Claremont on the road. Yeah, very popular, very nicely done, and very good for the community. But the guys living right across the road, it was a change from a normal quiet tennis club. So then you say, well, let's enclose it. And that's definitely the way to stop the sound. But then, because it's quite a high roof, you need at least a nine to ten meter high roof so that you can actually lob the ball. Then it becomes quite a big structure. Yeah. And then you potentially block the views of some neighbors. So now you've got.

And schools and then interprovincials and so on. Do we have any schools as far as you know offering paddle as a sport? Yeah, so there's some schools that have land available and they've already built courts. Okay. And I think with the view going, they need to make sure that they offer it as a school. The clubs are the schools that don't have space, which is quite substantial. And I'm just going to name some in Cape Town, let's say, for example, like Sachs or Wynberg or Bishops, or there's lots of them. They don't actually have the land, so therefore, they will tip.

Studio and in an actual garden. It's an extension of our gardening segment into the real life space. And this month we're going to be visiting the Gabriel Road Food Garden, established by Plumstead residents a couple of years ago after they got sick and tired of seeing a vacant plot go to rack and ruin. It was becoming a problem area in the neighborhood, an ISI site, a dumping ground for rubbish, a place where drug use was happening. Residents got together and said, let's change this picture. We'll start a food garden.

Eyewitness News Parliament. A house robber has been killed, and another is under police guard in hospital following a home invasion in the Crawford area in Athlone in Cape Town. The incident happened at nine o'clock last night. The police's Wesley Twiggs says a gunman demanded cash. The victims were tied up. We can confirm that shots were fired, and one suspect was fatally wounded. A suspect who was also wounded was later arrested and is in hospital under police guard. The circumstances surrounding the incident is

Spreading misinformation about South Africa abroad and police investigate Athlone House Robbery. It is one o'clock. Good afternoon. I'm Martin Slobber. International Relations Minister Ronald Lamoula has supported a call to clamp down on individuals and organisations who actively spread misinformation about South Africa abroad. The chairperson of Parliament's International Relations.

Funded mainly by UCT and some businesses. For further confusion, Alma Road, Rosebank, south side of the road, comes under Rondebash Saps and the north side under Mowbray Saps. 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

They do not have a strong civic association joined at the hip for decades. They do not have one, okay? But in two different worlds, two separate councillors, the Joint Civic Association, RMCA, seems to have fallen by the wayside. And one part of Rosebank and one part of Mowbray belong to LMRID, to which residents pay extra rates via cocked account. Another part of Rosebank and Mowbray have a different

Experience with local government if it's been accessible to you through your counselor. And especially, I want to celebrate the fact when it has been accessible to you through your counsellor. If your counselor has really kind of delivered on the expectation of the community that your counsellor serves, then I think they should be celebrated. Some stories, related stories, have kind of trickled through. Jill writes a story about Rosebank and Mowbray. Let's get an understanding through Jill's eyes of Rosebank and Mowbray.

Following a home invasion in the Crawford area in Athlone. The incident happened at 9 o'clock last night. Here's the police as Wesley Twigg. Lennon Police registered the House of Robot Case for investigation following an incident on Wednesday night in Rockerbeare Road, Crawford. According to reports, the victims were at home when unknown suspects entered the house armed with firearms. Twigg says the assailants demanded cash. The victims were tied up. We can confirm that shots were fired and one suspect was fatally wounded.

You must remember that whilst this development in Krombum was happening, at the very same time, 44 sites were sold via auction in Constantia. And all the disadvantaged areas are already densified. Okay? And we are not against socializing, as you said, we can go over that again. But the point is that open the city for all. And we are not saying you're practicing spatial apartheid. We're saying that the Constitutional Court.

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.

Also, forced to travel. I jop y job. It's you have a business, you have a job. It's on the other side of the city. You make your calculations. Leicester, I worked three years from Plumstead to Paul. I finished working there in July 2026. I filled up once a week. I serviced my car three times a year due to mileage. I did about 850 kilometers or more every week. I replaced

To town. Depends what you drive. Depends what you drive. I drive a little Yahus, so that's light on fuel Aslam spends 160 kilometers a day in a round trip. We're from Plumstead to Paul. 2,000 Rand a week petrol budget. Are you nuts? 021 4460567. It's 17 minutes to 8 o'clock. Cape Talk. Cape Talk. A world view from London.

One way. Loads of people do this commute daily. Earlier, we spoke to Peter John, who is about 140 kilometers in a round trip from Krabo to the CBD to Pardon Island. Aslam, what's your commute? Hi morning, Lester. I travel every day, six days a week, Plumstead to Paul. That's 160k. 160k is returned.

A chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Police in the National Assembly, Ian Cameron, has raised questions about the promotion of a senior Cape Town police officer facing criminal charges linked to the alleged assault and torture of a Mowbray barber. Cameron took to social media today to express concern about SAPS officer Delmore Manuel being promoted from Lieutenant Colonel to Colonel and formally appointed as station commander at Musenberg Police Station.

And what to do about it. And then, after news at half past four, a really happy story. There's an abandoned post office building at the Kenilworth station, and two people involved in the children's book world have decided to put a children's bookstore into that building. That's what we should be doing: reimagining space in that creative way. Call us on 021-446-0567. Email john m at cape talk.co.za and watch.

Police spokesperson Wesley Twigg says the incident happened in the morning. The motive behind the attack is unknown, and no arrest.

To the Cape Town station in the dark and taking a train in the dark. Maybe I'm being unnecessarily nervous about this, but no. And if I go into town and then I don't know how late the trains run, but if I arrive at the Cape Town station at nine o'clock for a train to Lakeside, it's not something that I am prepared to do. Anyway, it's four o'clock.

Often, that's often where airlines around the world make most of their profit is on those in-flight snacks. So it's intriguing to me that they're the only ones that have seen that market and are willing to make people pay for it. Dean has just written to me from Constantia, Andrew, to say I recently had to pay for a second check-in bag on an airling flight and nearly fell over when it cost just under a thousand rand because they charge by weight, and that's what I had to pay for a bag that weighed 20 kilograms. This compared to flying.

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.

Janet, we're so grateful to you for joining us on air today. Welcome to the show. Hi, hi, Wendy. Thanks so much. So, Janet, this is Pippa. I understand you bought your white I-20 from Hyundai Plumstead and took delivery back in June 2016. And it was a 2014 model, is that correct? Correct. So, how soon did you first notice the paint start lifting or blistering? I'm sorry to say I don't remember the exact date of the first time it started blistering around the back windscreen.

To Consumer Talk, that this month's Common Ground event is coming up next week. For those who've missed it, these monthly events extend our gardening segment off-air and into real life. They offer Cape Talk listeners a chance to interact with some of our gardening guests and to tap into their expertise one-on-one. This month, we are going to be visiting the Gabriel Road Food Garden, which was established by Plumstead residents who were sick and tired of seeing a local vacant lot being used as a dumping ground.

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.

Other from colonial to apartheid to racist to spatial planning, and now the one oak is talking about Constantia versus Alcis River. It blows my mind that the wealthy people are actually subsidizing the poor people in this city, whether you like it or not. That's the truth. So, why, oh, why, oh, why are they whinging? If you didn't have the wealthy people,

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.

Thanks, Clarence. Good morning. Police have arrested two suspects for the illegal possession of firearms and ammunition in the Athlone area.

When these applications reopen. Mike in Newlands is on the line to us. Mike, you want to talk about the fuel price? Hi. Yeah, hi, Jan. I do. You know, many years ago, I had a car, I sold that. Then I bought a motorbike, and as the fuel price went up, I sold that. And I now ride around on a scooter, which costs me an incredible 320 rand to fill this little tank up on this little scooter. And you know, your one caller just said he's not enjoying the country anymore.

Think it is actually quite remarkable the progress that we've made, and we can be very proud of that, which is why I said in the first paragraph of my affidavit, I actually welcome the opportunity to update the court on the progress made in these last five years, because it has been quite innovative. We have published the first land state land discount guidelines in the country, which allows us to discount city-owned land up to right up to 90%, which is exactly what we did at Salt River Market. Salt River Market was stuck in the mud.

For that little bit of history, it puts into context how palliative care and primary care, primary health care, can benefit from somebody that understands it as astutely as Dr. Malumba. Good morning, Clarence, on the topic of medical care issues. I waited five hours at the Lady Michaelis Day Hospital in Plumstead yesterday, and that is just heartbreaking. It's the story of so very many complaints.

This listener needing to get from retreat to Bylands, wanting to park their car at the station, worried about whether the park and ride is safe? 021-446-0567. Drop me a WhatsApp: 072-567-1567. Want to help shape the talk of the town by sharing your take? Oh, yes. With a municipality now increasing my electricity by 64%, because now suddenly the

Station. How reliable is the train except for days that are late? The route is retreat to Pinelands and then Pinelands to retreat. Trains have generally become more reliable. I would suggest, I wouldn't park and ride at retreat station. What I would do is maybe if you're coming from the south, the deep south, Lakeside provides, I think, a bit more safer park and ride, park there.

That gets to stop in between train stations. So they can be a little bit unreliable. Even though they clean, the security is heavy, and like it's a pleasure to ride on these new blue trains, I must admit. But if I could predict that if I leave Cape Town at 4:34, I will get to Ronabosch at 4.48, then I would be certainly more reliant on Metro Rail than I currently am. But I am able to access public transport, which is quite cool. Someone asked me.
