BONUS - RUSTENBURG - Die AfriForum-tak in Rustenburg het gedurende die eerste kwartaal van 2025 meer as 21 hektaar se gras by plaaslike parke en groenstroke gesny.
Dié tak het gewoonlik sowat vier hektaar se gras in ’n maand gesny, maar danksy die gebruik van ‘n trekker, is 21 hektaar-gras in slegs drie maande gesny.
Is your child a troublemaker or can they just not hear?
BONUS - RUSTENBURG - Fifteen percent of school-age children have impaired hearing, which often gets misdiagnosed or interpreted as naughtiness. In 2012, Johannesburg-based speech language therapist and audiologist, Venisha Naran, did a routine hearing screening for a Grade 1 learner at a private school in Johannesburg.
The referral came with a brief. “They said they didn’t think there was anything wrong with her ears, but she had recently arrived from China and didn’t understand much English,” says Naran.
Glenrose Xaba fights hard
BONUS - RUSTENBURG - Defending series champion Glenrose Xaba had to dig deep on Sunday morning, but she managed to hold off a challenge from Ethiopia's Selam Gebre to win the opening leg of the 2025 SPAR Grand Prix in Cape Town.
Pushing the pace hard at the start, Xaba (Boxer Athletics Club) pulled two athletes with her in the early stages - Gebre and another Ethiopian, Meseret Fita (both representing Nedbank Running Club) - as they opened a gap on a larger chasing group.

On Saturday, 29 March, the Our Ward Matters team were all hands on deck for a cleanup and repaint of the SPCA’s premises.
The team of volunteers were in good spirits whilst raking leaves, cutting grass, weeding the garden, painting walls and of course, playing with some of the SPCA’s inhabits.
