Rescue operation continues: Bodies pile up
Klerksdorp Record, Khuma - It is the smell of decaying bodies that will stay with the mine rescue workers tasked with extracting illegal miners from their underground hell at shaft 11.

Metal art sculptures go missing
Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - A local artist well-known for his craftsmanship with metal art sculptures is concerned after two of his sculptures were stolen in broad daylight.
The area on the corner of Dr Yusuf Dadoo- and Austin Street is known for its display of beautiful metal art and garden ornaments and the site has for years now been home to a select few to show and sell their exquisite work. One of the artists, the Mozambican Enias Chingombe has been trading from this spot for years, without incident except when two of his sculpted horses disappeared overnight two years ago.
