New budget hikes tariffs

Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - Residents of the City of Matlosana must brace themselves for an increase in their monthly utility expenses following the council’s approval of the 2025/2026 Medium Term Revenue and Expenditure Framework (MTREF) last week.

The new budget, effective from July 1, introduces upward adjustments across various service tariffs, including electricity, water, sanitation, and waste removal, alongside changes to property rates. 

Winter warmer...

Keanu Coetzer (2) will keep warm this winter. The prediction for this weekend is typical winter weather - lovely warm days with cold nights and mornings. The temperatures will not be above 24 degrees during the day. The mornings will be cold with 4 degrees. Next week a cold front will bring frost to the area.

Rowers terroriseer middestad

Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - ‘n Motoris wat ‘n slagoffer was van ‘n misdaadbende in die middestad is oortuig dat die aanvalle nie vir persoonlike gewin is nie, maar eerder as haataanvalle beskryf kan word.

Nicolene Greyling sê OR Tambostraat is “die mees onveiligste straat in die land’’. “Ons stad se gevreesde hoofstraat word dalk deur die polisie as petty crimes gesien, maar ek verskil daarvan. Mense word direk geteiken, in sommige gevalle ernstig beseer en skade word aan jou voertuig aangerig.’’
