Amy JephtaGUEST
And for me personally, it's stuff I've, yeah, I struggle with it all the time.
Amy JephtaGUEST
Like what it means to go home, for example, like, you know, I live in the workup and then going home means going to Mitchell's Plain.
Amy JephtaGUEST
Going home means going to Bishop Levis where my family still lives.
Amy JephtaGUEST
And then for me, there's very much a sense of dis-ease and disconnect because I'm like, I am no longer, almost like I'm no longer part of that.
Julian AdamsGUEST
clearly you are more prophetic than I am.
Pete PortalHOST
You were born in Mitchell's Plain, right?
Julian AdamsGUEST
That's correct.
Pete PortalHOST
Yep.
Julian AdamsGUEST
It didn't remove me from the traumatic moments.
Julian AdamsGUEST
But it did frame it differently because we had a different kind of hope that was put into our hearts because of our collective encountering of God as a family.
Pete PortalHOST
What does that do to you growing up in that environment? What does that do to a little boy, little Julian growing up in Mitchell's Plain? What does that do to your identity? And tell us a little bit about just...
Pete PortalHOST
I suppose, an emerging of identity that you had in your family, looking around you maybe with your peers and the similarities and differences or what God did in you at that time?
Geordin Hill-LewisGUEST
And we're getting our first, uh, international call centers.
Geordin Hill-LewisGUEST
In fact, we've got two signed up to build new call center facilities right in the heart of Mitchells Plain, which I think is a huge success story.
Geordin Hill-LewisGUEST
I love that.
Geordin Hill-LewisGUEST
Then, of course, tourism.
John MaythamHOST
Why- why didn't you release that four years ago so that could be producing usable water by now?
Zaheed BadroodienGUEST
now?So, and I can respond, John, to say that despite water being a major water investment in terms of our new water, our groundwater at Strandfontein has been producing 6 million liters a day, 10 million liters a day from Philippi, 38 million liters a day from Mitchells Plain will eventually come online, uh, when that project is activated.
Zaheed BadroodienGUEST
That's from groundwater alone.
Zaheed BadroodienGUEST
And in, in terms of our alien invasive plant removal, we have saved up to 30 million liters a day because of that simple intervention in our dam catchment areas, uh, specifically.
Ash MullerGUEST
Lots of people are looking for homes there.
Ash MullerGUEST
But also in the southern suburbs are places like Mitchell's Plain, where house prices have also increased on freestanding homes over the past few years.
Ash MullerGUEST
So it doesn't necessarily have to be ultra rich suburbs.
Ash MullerGUEST
One thing Cape Town is promising in certain silos is is capital growth.
Lester KiewitHOST
Let them do their job.
Lester KiewitHOST
Linda Jones is a member of the Mitchell's Plain United Residents Association.
Lester KiewitHOST
A couple of things to talk about here.
Lester KiewitHOST
Of course, the gender-based violence factor.
Linda JonesGUEST
And I think instead of backing off, that infuriated our soldiers.
Linda JonesGUEST
And first and secondly, we as a community, that was our first instinct.
Linda JonesGUEST
When we heard that people are shouting, please bring in the army, because things were running really badly in Mitchell's Plain.
Linda JonesGUEST
Gangs were infiltrating, killings were happening on a daily basis, and our people were living in fear.
Lester KiewitHOST
What specifically have these leaders like Gaten McKenzie, Fadil Adams, promised their voters that they have failed to deliver?
Lorenzo DavidsGUEST
Yeah, I think the betrayal is that when we say, oh, Mitchell's Plain is overrun by black cashiers at every store from Khayelitsha, that's a betrayal of our democracy.
Lorenzo DavidsGUEST
That's what we fought for, for a non-racial society.
Lorenzo DavidsGUEST
When we say that we can't deal with all the taxis and all the pressures that's happening in our society... and people are driving crazy.
Dan ChaboliGUEST
doing a special collaboration with an amazing Maori singer, Kapa Wairua.
Dan ChaboliGUEST
And one of the things that I'm particularly really excited about is we discovered an amazing choir in Mitchell's Plain called the Yellowwood Primary School Choir.
Dan ChaboliGUEST
And they'll be opening the concert and singing the EU anthem, Ode to Joy.
Dan ChaboliGUEST
So it's incredibly diverse.
David FosterGUEST
But how do we tell a different story? How do we pick up and how do we make sure that we rewrite that narrative? You know, especially what's happening in Rijkaapak, because there's beautiful stories to tell.
David FosterGUEST
I mean, at the moment, our communities have been bleeding across South Africa, especially in Rijkaapak and Westbury and Mitchell's Plain and all these areas.
David FosterGUEST
But how do we tell a different kind of story? But it starts with, you know, you picking yourself up based on that bad experiences.
David FosterGUEST
And what we've also learned, I mean, I've got a 25 year old, I've got a 16 year old, I've got an 80 year old.
Nadira HassanGUEST
Then we have one in Durban, in Pietermaritzburg.
Nadira HassanGUEST
My, uh, need skill center is in Pretoria and Elphida has just set one up in Mitchell's Plain in Cape town.
Nadira HassanGUEST
So we are targeting all over South Africa to help people as much as we can.
Nadira HassanGUEST
Um, and we, our plan is to actually set up a whole lot more, but obviously there are challenges to setting up these skill centers.
