Good day, Bonteheuwel,

What an incredible few weeks it has been for our community. We have experienced a period of safety, with crime remaining low, and we have proudly welcomed the deployment of five permanent Metro Police Officers who are already serving our area with dedication. Added to this, many families have finally received their long-awaited homes. From the visits I have made, it is clear that these are not just houses being handed over, but homes being built with love, dignity, and hope for the future.

But I want to pause here. Receiving a home is a tremendous blessing, and while we rightly celebrate with those who have been granted this opportunity, I also understand the disappointment of those still waiting. That disappointment is real, and it is justifiable. What cannot be accepted, however, is when disappointment turns into bitterness. Rumours that children are receiving homes, or that unworthy or unqualified people are benefiting, are simply untrue and unfair.

As part of my oversight role, I can assure you with confidence that not a single unqualified person has received a home thus far, and none will. The process is being conducted with integrity. To spread false stories not only hurts the beneficiaries but also damages the fabric of our community.

Let us remember this truth: no good thing will God withhold from those who walk righteously. Even in times of waiting, our faith and our character are revealed in how we choose to respond. If you have genuine proof of wrongdoing, do not gossip—report it. But if not, let us not rob others of their joy. Instead, let us celebrate with them, trusting that in time, blessings will also come your way.

Bonteheuwel, let us continue to support one another, to celebrate each other, and to build together a community marked by hope, dignity, and unity.

I wish you all a safe and blessed weekend.

Yet again, we are delivering on our promises! 💪 Today we officially welcomed five Metro Police Neighbourhood Safety Officers to each of our five wards in Subcouncil 15 – including Bonteheuwel. These officers will be deployed immediately to work hand-in-hand with our communities, building relationships, being visible on our streets, and standing as a strong force against social ills and criminal activities. 🚓👮‍♂️

A few months ago, I had the opportunity to vote on the City of Cape Town’s budget – and one of the key items was securing five dedicated officers per ward. It was my greatest pleasure to play my part in making this a reality, because I promised the people of Bonteheuwel and Subcouncil 15 that I would do everything possible to keep our communities safe. Today is just one of the many rollouts of that promise being fulfilled.

Unfortunately, parties like the National Coloured Congress and the Patriotic Alliance chose not to support this vote – choosing politics over the safety of our people. But let me be clear: we will not be distracted or deterred by small parties who mislead voters. Our focus remains on delivering for all our residents – even those who didn’t support this initiative.

Safety is not just a promise, it’s a commitment – and today we proved again that we keep our word. ✅

🚨 BREAKING NEWS (again): Gayton McKenzie has threatened to leave the GNU. 🎉

Now, before we all burst into tears… let’s be honest: this would be the single biggest win for sports, arts, and culture in South Africa since Bafana beat France in ’98. ⚽🎭🎶

Over the past year, promises have been made but absolutely nothing delivered. Instead, thousands of jobs in arts and culture vanished, programs were cut, and communities suffered. Gayton’s leadership has been like cancelling the Springboks at half-time: disastrous.

This is not the first time he’s said he’s leaving. The only difference now? South Africa is actually hoping he finally keeps his word. 🙏

Being a minister is not about running a gang. It’s not about power games, threats, and theatrics. It’s about serving all the people of South Africa with wisdom, humility, and responsibility — qualities Gayton has consistently shown he doesn’t have.

So, Gayton, while you may be waiting for us to beg you to stay, here’s the truth: South Africa says, “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” 🚪👋

We thank you for your signal, and we welcome your exit. The arts, culture, and sports of this country deserve better. 🇿🇦

🌍🇿🇦 Heritage Day 2025 – Remembering Bonteheuwel’s Heritage 🇿🇦🌍

Our Heritage is etched in our Faith.

For far too long, when we’ve spoken about our heritage in Bonteheuwel , we’ve focused on only one side of the story — the political struggle, the brave names of people like Ashley Kriel, Colleen Williams, and so many others who stood boldly in the fight for freedom. And while their contribution remains etched in history, today I want us to pause and remember another side of our heritage — one that has too often been overlooked.

Through the 70s and 80s, when the uprising was at its most intense, when arrests were being made, when lives were being lost in the fight for South Africa’s freedom — it was our religious fraternal in Bonteheuwel that carried much of this fight, not with weapons in their hands, but with prayers on their lips and courage in their hearts.

✝️☪️ Our churches, mosques, and religious leaders across faiths led marches, demanded justice, and declared that freedom was not just an option — it was our God-given right. The Bible, the Qur’an, and every holy book spoke to freedom, to dignity, and to the unshakable call to be free. And our leaders — Christians, Muslims, and many others — pursued this relentlessly.

Our streets became streets of prayer.
Our homes became houses of hope.
Our churches and mosques became fortresses of courage, where faith reminded us never to give up, never to quit.

This part of our story — this part of our heritage — has been hidden for too long. Today, on Heritage Day 2025, I want to acknowledge and honor those religious leaders, those congregations, and those young people from Bonteheuwel who carried us through the darkest nights with their faith and their relentless pursuit of freedom.

Let us never forget: the fight for freedom was never one-sided. It was a collective fight. A fight of courage, a fight of faith, a fight of people united.

And today, because of them, we stand in a democracy. Today, we celebrate a heritage that belongs to all of us. ✊❤️

Happy Heritage Day, Bonteheuwel .

Today was truly special ❤️ Meeting the next 30 recipients of homes in our Bonteheuwel Housing Project reminded me again of how far we have come, and how much this means to every single family.

This is Bonteheuwel’s very first housing project in a long time — a project that is not just about bricks and mortar, but about restoring dignity and returning legacies that were once taken away by the apartheid government. Today, families were reminded that their dreams matter, their future matters, and their children’s success matters.

As your councillor, I want you to know you will never stand alone. I am in your corner, relentlessly fighting for your legacy, your future, and your success. Together, we are writing a new chapter for Bonteheuwel — one of hope, opportunity, and unstoppable progress.

💙

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Bennett, has blocked me hence my public response to the below post from him.

⚽️🔥 Enough is Enough, Bennett Bailey! 🔥⚽️

Lately, I’ve noticed – and coincidentally, very close to elections – that SAFA Western Cape President Bennett Bailey has chosen political activism over soccer development. That’s fine, Bennett. I don’t pay your salary. But the poor mothers and fathers, who want nothing more than to see their children rise on the soccer field, do – and they must hold you accountable.

Yes, the Metropolitan Sports Field falls in my ward. And yes, it is a sad shame how far the facility has deteriorated over the last few years. This despite the millions of rands the City, through ward allocations and other funding, has ploughed into it. Just last year, we completed a boundary wall costing well over R2 million.

You fail to tell people that only last week we restored electricity at huge cost. You fail to mention the new cricket nets we’re constructing for the brilliant Bonteheuwel Cricket Club. And most disingenuously, you fail to admit that SAFA contributes ZERO to the very facility you claim control of through the LFA.

Do you tell parents that most Bonteheuwel soccer players are forced to play outside their own community because your organization refuses to allow them onto the field unless they are affiliated to SAFA or the LFA? Not everyone wants to join your little tea party, Bennett. But that should never stop them from using a public facility.

So next time you throw stones from a glass house, make sure your windows are intact. Because let me remind you:

Usage by all ensures ownership and care.

Exclusivity and gatekeeping leads to vandalism and breakdown.

Don’t expect me – or this community – to fund your political campaign. Tell SAFA to take its billions and plough money into the very facilities you demand exclusivity at.

Goodness, Bennett, you even had taxpayers foot the bill for VAR – something SAFA should have funded – and yet not a single local football field benefits from it.

👏 Well done, Bennett. Well done indeed. 👏

💔➡️❤️ A Journey of Hope – Sally’s Story ❤️➡️💔

My connection with Sally and her family epitomizes why I love and serve Bonteheuwel with everything I have.

In 2020, at the height of Covid, I got a call I will never forget. Sindy, heavily pregnant at the time, phoned me in desperation — her water had broken. I called an ambulance, but I also braved the virus and rushed to her side, making sure she got to the hospital safely. That day, I witnessed the miracle of her giving birth to a beautiful, healthy baby. 🙏✨

Sally, her mom, has walked one of the hardest journeys I have ever seen. From living in a car, to a shack on the side of a field — through tears, pain, and endless judgment from others. Many people complained about her, and I defended her. Those same people later tried to use her against our housing project. But through it all, I promised Sally and her daughters that I would never give up on them — that I would be relentless in helping change their circumstances.

Today, I am proud to say that promise is becoming a reality. Her daughters are doing well, and Sally now has a house she can call a home — a place for a brand new start, a place of dignity, a place of hope. 🏡💛

But this is not the end of the journey. This is the beginning. And here is where I need your help. 🙏

I want to appeal to all my friends and family here online who have followed this journey with me: please help me make Sally’s house a home. Any contribution — a bed, a fridge, a curtain, or even the smallest donation — will make a massive difference.

As I’ve said before: sometimes the only Bible some people will ever read is the life you and I live. 📖✨

Let’s live out that love. Let’s stand together for Sally and her family. Let’s show what Bonteheuwel is truly made of. 💪❤️

Please WhatsApp me to 0824441850 if you able to assist.
