South African prisons are bursting at the seams, holding double the number of people they were built for! Thousands of foreign inmates are stuck, making things even worse because sending them home is super slow. This dangerous overcrowding causes sickness and makes crime even more organized inside. The system is like a ticking time bomb, needing quick changes to stop it from exploding.

Get ready for a big change at Strand Beach! From December 15, 2025, to January 15, 2026, a part of the beach, between the municipal pool and Norman Road, will be closed.

So, while a piece of your favorite beach will be closed for a short time, it’s for a very important reason: to keep the beach safe and beautiful for many years to come!

A 44-Page Mirror: How the Western Cape Locked the School Door on Its Own Children

by Hannah Kriel
December 10, 2025

The Western Cape’s school system is broken, leaving thousands of children without a place to learn. Old computer rules and slow officials make it hard for kids, especially those moving from other areas, to get into schools. This leads to overcrowded classes in flimsy mobile rooms, and children with disabilities or those considered “too old” are left behind. It’s a sad picture where promises are broken, and many young lives are unfairly affected.

From Cardboard to Contracts: Rewriting Cape Town’s Homelessness Playbook with Trauma-Smart, Step-Up Housing

by Hannah Kriel
December 10, 2025

Cape Town’s homeless shelters are like a ‘trap,’ keeping people stuck instead of helping them find real homes. They offer only temporary beds with no privacy or support, making it hard for people to get back on their feet. This old way just moves people around in circles, never truly solving their homelessness. We need a new plan that gives people private rooms, helpful services, and a clear path to lasting housing, turning shortterm fixes into real new beginnings.

Midnight Algorithms: How One Metro Turned Integrity Into Infrastructure

December 10, 2025

While the rest of the city sleeps, a converted warehouse on the fringe of the financial district glows like a spaceshuttle cockpit. Inside, forensic linguists, reformed blackhat coders and retired revenueservice auditors stare at walltowall monitors that look like Bloomberg terminals on adrenaline. Every crimson pixel is a ledger entry that should not exist: a salary paid to a ghost with a Gmail address, a supplier born 36 hours after a bid closed, a fuel card that buys groceries 200 km from the nearest depot. By the time commuters pour their first coffee, 312 such glitches have been promoted to “cases”; nine public servants are invited for a friendly cup of tea; one middlemanager is already deleting selfies from a yacht he never declared. No press release, no sirens just the hum of machines proving that prevention can be louder than punishment.
