In an indication of the concern Kom residents have about development in the village, the public meeting on Tuesday 11 March to consider the Spar development this week attracted a large gathering. The meeting was hosted and facilitated by Mike Smit (KRRA Treasurer), who explained that the purpose of the meeting was to provide residents with an opportunity to hear directly from the developer and the proposed SPAR operator, ask questions, and gather information regarding the pro

On 8 March, the Kom FynForce riders take on the Cape Town Cycle Tour. Not just for the finish line. For the land we love. 🌿 INVASIVE ALIEN PLANTS ARE CHOKING OUR FYNBOS They steal water. They destroy biodiversity. They fuel wildfires. We are fighting back. 💥 YOUR R110 MAKES IT REAL 10 donations of R110 = 2 workers + 1 chainsaw = 1 full day clearing alien vegetation That’s restoration. That’s protection. That’s action. 💛 EVERY RAND COUNTS Every pedal stroke counts. Every

After at least 7 years of delay during which time KRRA has contacted developers, Spar, architects and the City with minimal or no response, we now have a set of updated plans for the proposed SPAR shopping centre just east of our traffic circle. These are out for comment until the 23 March 2026 as departures from the building regulations are being applied for and have to be dealt with before construction can begin. Departures from building regulations mostly concern the entr

The Kommetjie Residents and Ratepayers' Association (KRRA) is deeply concerned by an incident in Kommetjie yesterday that saw a security guard strike a young resident of Ocean View in the face with a pistol, which required medical attention at Fish Hoek Hospital.

In Part 2 of the KRRA Summer Wildfire Safety Series, we look at ways to reduce the threat of veld fires encroaching on our property to limit damage and danger to buildings, people and pets.

Thanks to this summary by Lizelle Wagner: Councillor (Simon Liell-Cock) explained that a significant portion of the problem has been caused by people deliberately putting objects into the sewer system, particularly in Ocean View. Items found in the pipes include drainpipes, ladders,

Clear NSRI signage has been replaced, and a new buoy is now in place to help keep swimmers safer along this stretch of coast.

KRRA is volunteer-led and powered by community care. Projects like this only happe

There will be a public meeting regarding sewage spillage and river health concerns on Wednesday 21 January at the Kommetjie Primary School Hall starting 6pm.

The Kommetjie Residents’ and Ratepayers’ Association (KRRA) has endorsed a submission by the Sunnydale Ratepayers’ Association (SRA) that objects to plans for 32 dwelling units on Capri Common -- a Critical Biodiversity Area (CBA).

We’re currently facing two significant wildlife health risks along our coastline — Avian Influenza and rabid/aggressive seals — and together they create an increased safety concern for residents, pets, and wildlife.

Contractors have been working overtime in the past couple of weeks to resolve a series of sewage spills between Kommetjie and Ocean View, which prompted numerous enquiries and concerns from residents -- the latest spills were caused by two sewage pipe collapses in Ocean View, which sent raw sewage into the stormwater system and the Bokramspruit. The Homeowners Association (HoA) of Riverside Village confirmed that five sewege spills have occurred within the village since Septe

After three years of negotiations, a 3-metre-wide tarred walkway and cycle path is finally being built between Kommetjie and Ocean View, which ensures safer passage for wheelchair users, parents with prams, children, and cyclists moving between our two communities. A huge thank-you to KRRA road safety principle Caro Smit from SADD ( www.sadd.org.za ) for her persistent, tireless work to make Kommetjie’s roads safer for all of us. Caro’s dedication — supported by KRRA — has le

🌿 Wildlife Alert — Let’s Protect Our Young Caracals! Two adventurous young caracals have been spotted roaming between Kommetjie and Misty Cliffs. They’re curious and still learning about their new world — let’s help keep them safe as they settle in. 💚 Simple ways to coexist: • Keep dogs on leads • Give caracals plenty of space • Keep cats indoors at night • Drive slowly, especially at dawn and dusk • Don’t use rat poison — it kills owls, caracals, and other predators that n
