Cape Town has set up a temporary traffic circle at the busy intersection of Govan Mbeki and Duinefontein to make driving safer and smoother while big roadworks happen. This roundabout helps cut down traffic jams and accidents by keeping cars moving in a steady flow. It’s part of a bigger plan to improve public transport and connect neighborhoods better. Though temporary, this traffic circle is a step toward a future where getting around Cape Town is easier and faster for everyone.
In Cape Town’s Helderberg Basin, minibus taxis are a lifeline for many, but fierce battles between rival taxi groups make daily travel dangerous. These fights over routes cause fear and disrupt the simple act of getting to work or school. The city tries to keep peace, but the taxi industry’s complex history and loose rules make solutions hard. Despite the challenges, the taxi ranks remain a hub of community life, full of resilience and hope for safer, fairer rides ahead.
