BackaBuddy campaign launched to repatriate body of Cape Town woman murdered in US
A BackaBuddy crowdfunding campaign has been launched to assist the family of Kim White Towne, a 32-year-old Capetonian who was murdered by her American husband in Chantilly in the state of Virginia. The campaign aims to raise funds for the repatriation of her remains to South Africa so that she can be laid to rest among her loved ones. Towne's tragic death, reportedly at the hands of her husband during a domestic dispute, has left her family devastated and facing a financially overwhelming situation. The campaign, organised by Lauren Delcarme, is titled 'Bring Kim Home' and, at the time of publishing, has already raised R88 404 of its R108 000 target. 'Kim was a vibrant and cherished member of our family whose warmth, kindness and gentle spirit touched everyone she met,' said Delcarme on the campaign page. 'Her sudden and untimely death has left us in profound grief, and we are faced with the heartbreaking task of bringing her home to South Africa.' Delcarme noted that the costs of repatriation are substantial and include cremation, legal documentation, and international transport, among other formalities. The family is appealing to the public for any contributions to help reunite Kim with her family in Cape Town. Kim White Towne, originally from the Blouberg area, had moved to the US to build a life with her husband, with whom she shared a young son. The BackaBuddy page has been flooded with messages of support and heartfelt condolences from friends, family, and even strangers moved by the family's plight. Those wishing to contribute can visit the official BackaBuddy campaign via and search for 'Bring Kim Home' or donate directly to the listed banking details on the campaign page.

Cape Town's ambitious rollout of the largest public transport infrastructure project
A new MyCiTi bus stop has been proposed along the Parklands and Camps Bay routes. Image: File Parklands and Camps Bay residents have been invited by the City of Cape Town to comment on new proposed MyCiTi stops, which fall in line with a bid to tackle Cape Town's traffic congestion. A new MyCiTi bus stop has been proposed along the Parklands and Camps Bay routes. The city said that this follows an assessment of various public requests to make it easier to access the bus along existing MyCiTi routes. The proposed stop in Parklands would be on Tryall West (northbound and southbound), where the closest intersection is West Coast Road and Tryall Road. Meanwhile, in Camps Bay, the proposed stop would be on Argyle (eastbound and westbound), with the closest intersection being on Argyle Street and Lincoln Road. The city is making a big push into using the MyCiTi to tackle the traffic congestion headache facing drivers in Cape Town. Mayco Member for Urban Mobility, Rob Quintas, said the city is currently undertaking the rollout of the largest public transport infrastructure project in the country. 'We have set aside R5.4 billion for the rollout of the MyCiTi bus service in the medium-term to connect Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha with Wynberg and Claremont; as well as R88 million for the refurbishment and replacement of the current MyCiTi fleet; R397 million for upgrading public transport interchanges in Bellville, Happy Valley, Macassar, Makhaza, Retreat, and Westlake; and R153 million for formalising MyCiTi bus stops on existing routes and rebuilding damaged stations,' he said. 'The implementation of the second phase of the MyCiTi bus service to connect communities from the metro-south east with Wynberg and Claremont is the biggest life-changing investment in public transport since the implementation of passenger rail many decades ago. 'It is a mammoth project and we are tackling it incrementally,' Quintas said. Here is a look at the route stops in Parklands. Image: MyCiTi / Screenshot He explained that Phase 2A arises from the city's Integrated Public Transport Network (IPTN) plan, which envisages a continued phased implementation approach of MyCiTi services across the entire city. 'This is part of a commitment to redressing spatial inequality and implementing quality integrated public transport for the benefit of all residents and the local economy,' Quintas said. He shared that for more information on the new routes and stops, as well as the upgrades to the public transport interchanges, road and station infrastructure, residents should visit: Here is a look at the proposed stop in Camps Bay. Image: MyCiTi/Screenshot As for the aforementioned stops in Parklands and Camps Bay, the public is invited to submit their written comments/objections with motivation from April 10 to May 13, 2025, via the following channels: Email [email protected] and quote reference number MC0012/25 (Parklands) or MC0011/25 (Camps Bay) Submit your comment or objection via and quote reference number MC0012/25 for Parklands and MC0011/25 for Camps Bay The city added that objections would be considered before a final decision is reached. The city's Public Participation Unit will assist those who cannot read or write, live with disabilities, or are from disadvantaged groups and are unable to submit written comments. [email protected]
