Taking away their only accessible transport deepens exclusion, poverty

- KAYLYNNE BANTOM

This is the plight of Cheryl Halford, a visually-impaired woman, who will now have to find alternative means of travelling around following the City of Cape Town's announcement of significant changes to its Dial-a-Ride (DaR) service from next month.

This dedicated kerb-to-kerb service for people with disabilities unable to access mainstream public-transport services, from Monday 8 September, will be available only to eligible wheelchair users and people with severe walking impairments.

The City said in a press statement limited services were due to budget constraints.

It said the DaR service was experiencing "severe capacity challenges" where the demand exceeds the available resources.

Will Sona optimism translate to real change?

While President Cyril Ramaphosa spoke of a strengthening rand, falling inflation, and renewed investor confidence during his State of the Nation Address (Sona) at Cape Town City Hall on Thursday 12 February, many of us woke up the next morning to a far less reassuring reality: dry taps, rising living costs, unemployment queues, and neighbourhoods where safety cannot be taken for granted.
