City’s Graduate Internship Programme retains 11 internsCity’s Graduate Internship Programme retains 11 interns<img alt="" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/PublishingImages/City%20news.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" />​The City of Cape Town would like to congratulate 11 Digital Internship Programme interns who have successfully secured permanent jobs with the City.<p></p><span><p>‘I had the opportunity to meet six of the 11 interns during our International Women’s Day celebrations last month and wished them the best in their full-time careers with the City. During their two-year internship, they gained experience in project administration and management, change management and technical IS&T experience. The Graduate Internship Programme started with 13 interns and ended up retaining 11. This is testament to us being able to retain top talent,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Corporate Services, Alderman Theresa Uys.</p><p>The City has already shortlisted this year’s Graduate Internship Programme intake and is in the process of interviewing graduates. This internship programme is available to graduate students who have completed their qualification at an Institution of Higher Learning (University/University of Technology). </p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/DSC_3005%20-%20women%20in%20tech.jpeg" alt="" style="width:949px;" /> </figure>​​</span><p>The City’s Language Services Branch is also looking for graduate interns whose home languages are Afrikaans or isiXhosa. Incumbents must live within the boundaries of the City of Cape Town and should preferably demonstrate good translation or interpreting skills, strong interpersonal skills, solid written and oral communication skills and excellent time management skills to name a few. The closing date is tomorrow – Friday, 25 April 2025.</p><p>‘There are many more exciting internship opportunities and graduate training programmes within the City.

This challenge is about documenting the wildlife in our city. All that is required of residents when contributing an observation is to take a photo and upload it onto the iNaturalist app. Capetonians are spoilt for choice with an array of nature reserves and conservation areas. Access to the City’s nature reserves will be free from 25 April until 28 April 2025 for those taking part in the challenge,’ said the City’s Deputy Mayor and Mayoral Committee Member for Spatial Planning and Environment, Alderman Eddie Andrews.</p><p><strong>How to get involved:</strong><br>• A smartphone with a camera and GPS turned on, or a camera that connects to a computer with internet access<br>• An internet connection (at home, school, City nature reserve, or City library)<br>• Download the free iNaturalist app from the Play Store (Android) or App Store (iPhone) and sign up via this link: <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2025-city-of-cape-town" target="_blank">https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2025-city-of-cape-town</a>   <br></p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/Popi%20Salggerno%20-%20Shaggy%20Stargrass%20or%20Hypoxis%20villosa.jpg" alt="" style="width:1900px;" /> </figure></span><span><p>Once downloaded, please ensure that you check your iNaturalist app regularly for updates ahead of the challenge next weekend.</p><p>Schools, universities and social groups are encouraged to use this as an opportunity to facilitate, manage and support student outdoor learning and exploration in schoolyards, nearby parks or other green spaces.</p><p>There is no limit to the number of observations one can submit. Residents are encouraged to record as many wild plants and animals that they can find in nature reserves, suburbs, schools and gardens.<br><br>‘In 2024, the City Nature Challenge saw more than 83 000 people across 690 cities in 51 countries on all seven continents documenting more than 2,4 million wildlife observations. Of these observations, 42 643 were done in Cape Town. I am confident that we can increase these numbers this year.

City rehabilitates 2km of sewers in Uitsig City rehabilitates 2km of sewers in Uitsig <img alt="" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/PublishingImages/City%20news.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" />Work on the Water and Sanitation Directorate’s pipe replacement programme is accelerating with a number of sewer and water pipe replacement projects under way.<p>​</p><span><p>As part of the Mayor's Priority Programme (MPP), the City has expanded its Pipe Replacement Programme by setting aside R523 million for infrastructure maintenance in the 2024/2025 financial year. Pipeline rehabilitation forms part of the directorate's strategy to reduce the number of sewer spills and to provide efficient sanitation services to the residents of Cape Town. </p><p>The City aims to replace or rehabilitate about 1,5% of the total sewer network annually.</p><p>The latest project in Uitsig started in January 2025 and is scheduled to be completed in June 2025 at an estimated value of R7,1 million. This project will see up to 2,1km of 150mm and 250mm diameter sewers rehabilitated in Kambro Road, Kosmos Road, Laventel Road, Kirkwood Road, Vygie Road, Sonneblom Road, Salie Road, Malva Road, Rose Road and Petunia Crescent. Some of these are mid-block sewers located on residential properties. </p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/City%20rehabilitates%202km%20of%20sewers%20in%20Uitsig%201.jpg" alt="" style="width:3399px;" /> </figure></span><span><p>The need for replacement was identified after repeated sewer overflows and collapses were experienced in Uitsig over the last few years. This is as a result of ageing infrastructure (50+ year-old fibre cement pipe) and misuse of the sewer system where residents are flushing or getting rid of items such as rags, newspapers, plastics and building material, causing blocked pipes. </p><p>The trenchless rehabilitation method used for this project is called cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining where a textile tube coated in resin is inserted into the existing pipe and hardens after insertion into a joint-less and seamless pipe. This method of rehabilitation is one of the most widely-used trenchless methods. </p><p>In addition to the CIPP lining, the scope of works also includes: pre- and post CCTV investigation of the sewer line, isolation of sewer lines, over-pumping or bypassing of flows to ensure uninterrupted services to residents, extensive cleaning of debris which has been illegally dumped into the sewer system and the construction of additional or point repairs of the sewer if required. <br></p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/City%20rehabilitates%202km%20of%20sewers%20in%20Uitsig%202.jpg" alt="" style="width:1029px;" /> </figure></span><span><p>‘A significant section of Uitsig’s sewer pipes are going to be relined to improve functionality from a technical perspective. Our teams will monitor the progress on site very closely as this project was previously put on hold due to extortion threats. However, work has resumed as this upgrade is essential for the benefit of the Uitsig community. </p><p>‘Residents will also need to play their part in using the sewer system responsibly to maintain its integrity. Only toilet paper and human waste can flow through the sewer system without causing damage. Anything else like wet wipes, sanitary towels, diapers, fats and oils, hair and condoms, will block the sewer pipes and cause overflows. Although the City is upgrading the sewer pipes, overflows will persist as long as foreign objects are flushed down household toilets or dumped in street manholes.<br></p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/City%20rehabilitates%202km%20of%20sewers%20in%20Uitsig%204.jpg" alt="" style="width:933px;" /> </figure><p>‘It’s important that we work together to look after investments made in upgrading sewer pipes to be able to derive the long-term benefits of how the system is designed to function,’ said Mayoral Committee Member for Water and Sanitation, Councillor Zahid Badroodien.</p><p> </p><p><strong>End​​</strong></p></span><p><span>​​</span><span>​​</span></p>2025-04-23T22:00:00Z1

 

 

 

 

Prevent blocked sewersPrevent blocked sewersThe City has an excessively high number of sewer blockages each year. On average, we attend to nearly 300 sewer blockages every day.
