🙌 Our community works best when we work together.

📲 To ensure that issues are addressed as quickly as possible, please report them through the City of Cape Town's official channels (not Facebook or Wapp or your Ward Cllr)…. Most importantly, always request and keep your Service Request Reference Number (C3 Number). *This number is essential for tracking progress, following up on outstanding matters, and enabling councillors to escalate long unresolved issues where necessary.*

📊 By using the correct reporting channels and sharing your reference numbers when assistance is needed, we can *work together* to improve service delivery and keep our community clean, safe, and well maintained.

💙Thank you for being active partners in building a better neighbourhood for everyone

🙋‍♀️ Ways to Log a Service Request:

*Online Service Request Portal (Recommended)
https://eservices1.capetown.gov.za/coct/wapl/zsreq_app/index.html
The City's online fault-reporting system allows residents to report issues such as water leaks, potholes, illegal dumping, broken streetlights, sewer overflows, refuse collection problems, and hundreds more. Once submitted, a reference number is generated and can be tracked.

*Customer Call Centre
☎ 0860 103 089

*City of Cape Town App
The City app provides access to fault reporting and City services. Fault reports are routed through the City's service request system and generate a reference number.

💧 Dams are at 77,5%, about 2,3% less than last year.
🌧️ Rainfall remains unpredictable. Be water wise at all times.
🚰 Last week’s water use: 867 MLD, more than our 860MLD winter limit.

Let’s be water wise to keep limited supply, every drop counts!

⛄️ It’s mid-winter recess so councillors have a bit of extra time to spend in their wards, on training, visiting legacy projects, community get togethers, and wrapping up ward allocation projects/loose ends.

☕️ To prove I don’t only exist in coffee shops 😉 please find some of my visits this past week : in no particular order…

1) Oversight of the hoarding installation and beginning of the demolition of the old BP fuel station corner Main and Military.. soon to be Astron.

2) Feel Good Events Ward 71 outreach at WPBTS in Blue Route Mall - with 10 of our residents who stepped up to save lives with their blood donations. Thank you for tackling this Lee-Ann Laufs!

3) The amazing collab and partnership between The City of Cape Town , Friends of Orchard Village Waterways, and Zandvlei Catchment Management Forum to create a new mini wetland and SUD (sustainable urban drainage system) adjacent to Kerner Close Park in Orchard Village - 📸 by Marcel.

4) In sight at last - the potential temporary repair of the Raapkraal Wooden bridge - whilst a new one is designed and budgeted for as part of the exciting multi million rand Liveable Urban Waterway Project in our Ward. Thanks for this to Louise from KERA - KERA - Kirstenhof and Environs Residents' Association Page who has been motivating me to continue driving this issue.

5) Handover of Neighbourhood Watch Equipment to Tokai Neighbourhood Crime Watch and KCW - Kirstenhof Crime Watch. I am forever thankful for their amazing voluntary service to our communities throughout Ward 71!

💙 It is only *together* that we can continue to make progress possible.

The City of Cape Town is inviting residents to comment on proposed amendments to the Municipal Planning By-law aimed at *improving transparency around approved building plans.*

The proposed changes would give surrounding property owners the right to request copies of approved building plans and the reasons for their approval, while allowing other *interested parties to view approved plans on request.* The amendments also introduce new requirements for public notices when building plans are approved, while protecting personal information.

Residents and interested parties are encouraged to review the proposals and submit comments by 17 July 2026.
