The City of Cape Town said planned maintenance work will result in water supply disruption to these areas: Strand (Algoa Street, Gants Plaza and surrounds) – A City-appointed contractor will be conducting a complex pipe replacement, which will result in a temporary shut-off from 9:00 – 20:00 on Monday, 7 July. This will affect water supply to Algoa Street and the surrounding streets in Gants Plaza, Strand. Water tankers will be deployed to the area during this time in consultation with the Local Ward Councillor.

New Jerusalem seeks generous support this Mandela Month
This Mandela Month, the New Jerusalem Children's Home stands at the forefront of a powerful wave of generous donations, already propelled by a heartfelt contribution from Hyde Johannesburg Hotel Rosebank. As a long-established sanctuary for vulnerable children, the home provides essential love, shelter, and education. Read more: 67 Blankets and Cedar Lakes Estate donates blankets to New Jerusalem Children's Home However, with only 80 out of 120 children currently receiving funding from the Department of Social Development, the home faces significant challenges in meeting the increasing needs of its residents. Hopkins Kaira, the home's marketing manager, emphasised the importance of support during Mandela Month—a time when organisations and individuals mobilise resources to give back. 'In this month, we see many people and organisations stepping forward to help,' said Kaira. 'The home has expanded, and so have the needs—maintenance, school materials, uniforms, and everyday essentials, among others. The children deserve a safe and nurturing environment, and these donations directly contribute to that.' The home's wishlist for this Mandela Month is extensive and includes storybooks, fencing, gates, dustbins, furniture, paint, toiletries, food, cleaning supplies, and more. Moreover, volunteers are essential to the cause and are encouraged to lend their time and skills. 'Tasks like weed removal behind the centre and outdoor maintenance are crucial for creating a welcoming environment for our children,' Hopkins added. He also highlighted that the classroom project now only requires painting. Tshepiso Mofokeng from the Hyde Johannesburg Hotel noted the impactful early donation made on July 4, which effectively kicked off the month of giving. He said donating is part of their ethos, and they seized the opportunity to contribute well ahead of Mandela Day on July 18. 'New Jerusalem was introduced to us by one of our colleagues, who has been working closely with the home…We partnered with them in 2023 and have been consistently donating food. It's a heartwarming initiative, allowing us to engage with the children directly,' said Mofokeng. Those wishing to support the New Jerusalem Children's Home can reach out via 010 224 0458 or 082 732 7832, or email [email protected] or [email protected]. Read Midrand Reporter for more.

Cape Town announces a 9-hour power outage in these areas
The City of Cape Town notified Gordon's Bay residents about a planned electricity supply interruption on Wednesday, 16 July. The power outage from 7:40 to 17:00 is necessary for Eskom to maintain essential infrastructure. City officials stressed that only areas indicated on the official power outage map will be affected. 'It is important to note that the interruption to supply will only impact the area on the map and only on the relevant date,' said the city in its public advisory. The city has provided a link to the map detailing affected zones to assist residents with preparations. The city has urged residents to cautiously approach the power outage and treat all electrical installations as live throughout the scheduled work. The city warned that power may be restored earlier than expected, which could pose a risk to unattended appliances. 'Customers must please treat all electrical installations as live for the full duration of the planned maintenance work,' the city advised. Residents are also recommended to unplug or switch off all appliances during power outages to avoid damage from power surges when electricity is restored. This warning comes amid growing concerns about the risks of equipment failure during sudden power returns. In anticipation of the scheduled work, the city thanked affected residents for their patience and understanding. 'The City thanks residents for their cooperation and understanding,' the statement read. Although the power outage may cause some inconvenience, officials emphasised that the work is critical for maintaining and improving the reliability of the local power supply. All efforts will be made to complete the task within the planned time frame. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
