Anerley Park revived as Killarney residents reclaim public space
Anerley Park, in Killarney, has quietly transformed from a neglected, overgrown patch of land into a vibrant green space, thanks to a group of dedicated residents who refused to let it fade away. After its original palisade fence was stolen during Covid-19, the park became vulnerable. It soon attracted vagrants, the grass grew wild, and municipal maintenance dwindled. Residents watched as a once-inviting space fell into disrepair. Read more: Killarney Country Club lease dispute sparks community support Instead of giving up, a few neighbours began clearing the park. They trimmed grass, removed litter, and planted small gardens, slowly bringing life back to the area. Bradley Kirton, one of the volunteers, said the idea of installing a proper fence soon followed. He reached out to Cochrane Clearvu Fencing, who generously sponsored the new fence, marking a turning point in securing the space and protecting the community's efforts. What started as a simple clean-up, turned into a full community restoration. More green areas have been beautified, and early garden beds are now in bloom. Resident Ismail Randeree believes the changes go beyond appearance. He said the community's presence in the park discourages misuse, simply by showing that the space is cared for. Their goal is to keep Anerley Park in line with the standards of the wider Killarney area… Safe, clean, and welcoming for all.

‘Lucia's Kiddos' grows from a few loaves to a lifeline for a community
'Lucia's Kiddos' grows from a few loaves to a lifeline for a community What began with R100 and a few loaves of bread has grown into a lifeline for 83 children, thanks to a domestic worker's vision and a community's compassion. Seven years ago, Lucia Majola from Cottonlands, Verulam, had a dream in which God told her to feed hungry children in her area. 'I asked, 'How will I do that? I am just a domestic worker who also needs help.' The voice in her dream replied, 'Start with the little you have,'' said Majola. The dream stayed with her, but it wasn't until last year, when hardship struck, that her sister reminded her of the dream. She took the plunge and began feeding children who often go hungry over weekends. Today, she feeds 83 children every Saturday and Sunday. 'More children come, and I wish I could feed them all. But I am deeply thankful to everyone who has helped. It means so much to the children and their parents.' Her story inspired Donovan Chisholm, a sales executive at Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito. 'If she could start with R100, so could I,' he said. Chisholm rallied colleagues and formed a group called Making a Difference, encouraging community members to contribute R100, food or time. The initiative grew rapidly, with Ballito families joining in, donating meals, clothes and toys, while bringing joy through dancing, singing and play. 'For those few hours, there's no darkness, just life and light,' said Chisholm. In the past year, the group has served more than 7 000 meals and is now registering as an NPO. Plans are under way to build a shelter to protect children during food distributions. Their latest project, a winter blanket drive led by the Toyota Knights of Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito, has raised over R15 000 worth of blankets, with support from Radio Life & Style, local donors and even international donors. 'One mother told me her daughter had considered ending her life, but after joining the weekend programme, she found hope,' said Chisholm. 'We are just getting started. Anyone can make a difference, you simply have to choose to. Contact Lucia at 068 241 5880. Stay in the loop with The North Coast Courier on Facebook, X, Instagram & YouTube for the latest news.

City Hall's clock tower chimes for the first time in 15 years
For the first time in decade and a half, the chimes of Cape Town City Hall's clock tower rang out across the CBD on Thursday, marking the successful revival of a cherished city landmark. Built in 1905 by the same company that constructed London's Big Ben, the iconic timepiece had fallen silent around 2010, following a failure in its bell strike and chime functions. After a painstaking six-month restoration, the clock now strikes the hour with renewed precision. Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis led a celebratory relaunch ceremony, joined by James Vos, Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth, and staff from City Hall. 'When it struck 12, I felt goosebumps,' Hill-Lewis said, reflecting on the moment the tower's bell rang once again. 'We take pride in what we have, and we take pride in our city.' Restorers dismantled the mechanism, replaced worn gears, and tuned the bell fittings to their original specifications, restoring the clock's accuracy and rich soundscape. The restoration is part of a wider City of Cape Town heritage initiative aimed at conserving historic landmarks across the metro. Now fully functional, the clock's chimes can be heard from Grand Parade to St George's Cathedral, serving as a sonic reminder of the city's vibrant past. Officials have also introduced a quarterly maintenance plan to ensure the mechanism remains in working order well into the future. The revival of the City Hall clock not only restores a beloved acoustic feature to Cape Town's skyline – it also reaffirms the city's commitment to preserving the architectural and cultural heritage that defines its identity.
