Sandy Schoeman is nou ‘n dubbel bekroonde skrywer. Nie net het sy verlede week gehoor dat sy NB Uitgewers se Jeugboekprys gewen het met haar manuskrip Chakalaka uit ‘n blikkie nie, maar haar debuutboek Rooiletterkind, uit Naledi se stal, is met die Desmond Tutu-Gerhard Brand prys bekroon. Verlede jaar is die prys ook deur ‘n Klerksdorper gewen. Rooiletterkind vertel van Sandy se reis as pleegma en later aanneemma van ‘n besonderse jong meisiekind.

Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Plaaslike parkrunners is dankbaar noudat die voëlpark se gras gesny is, want dit het byna skouerhoogte gestaan en veral bejaardes en kinders wat aan die parkrun deelgeneem het, verdwerg.
AfriForum se Klerksdorp-tak het onlangs die netheid en veiligheid van die voëlpark in sy eie hande geneem deur die lang gras te sny waar deur talle inwoners weekliks die Parkrun moet hardloop.
Dié park word vir ’n geruime tyd al nie behoorlik onderhou nie, maar om te verseker dat die spasie veilig benut kan word, gaan die Klerksdorp-tak voorts die park instandhou.
Bridget Kleu, die parkrun direkteur, het AfriForum bedank en gesê hulle is so dankbaar vir die instandhouding.
“Ons kry skaam vir die park as ons besoekers ontvang, wat dit word nie onderhou nie. Ons moet altyd op Vrydae gaan vullis optel, net om die plek beter te laat lyk, maar met die gras wat nou gesny word, lyk dit sommer stukke beter. Baie dankie.’’
