Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Mev Klerksdorp het vandeesweek ‘n liefdadigheidsprojek afgeskop waarin sy ‘n beroep op die gemeenskap doen om haar te ondersteun in die insameling van toiletware vir die bejaardes van die SAVF/Evanna ouetehuis op Hartbeesfontein.
Lizelle Mahoney wil graag omgeepakkies opmaak om aan bejaarde inwoners van die tehuis uit te deel. ‘n Groot behoefte bestaan vir badseep, waslappe, handdoeke, tandepasta, deodorant en volwasse doeke. Met die winter wat naderkom is komberse en kouse ook ‘n behoefte.
“Baie van die inwoners in Evanna het net hul staatspensioene en oorleef skaars, daar is nie geld vir basiese behoeftes nie. Ek wil hulle graag bystaan en vra almal om saam by te dra sodat ons die las op die tehuis ligter kan maak,’’ sê sy.
Stem vir Stefaans
Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - ‘n Klerksdorper is een van die finaliste vir Netwerk24 se eerste Smaakmaker-toekennings.
Stefaans Coetzee het min bekendstelling nodig in Klerksdorp. Hy dra verskeie hoede - gemeenskapswerker, skrywer, gesinsman, radio-omroeper, prediker en motiveerder. Sy groot liefde is egter boeke en daarom het NB Uitgewers hom uitgesonder as een van hul Smaakmakers. Wat is ‘n Smaakmaker? Dit is ‘n loslit-woord wat deur Netwerk24 se lesers uitgedink is vir die Engelse “influencer’’.
Van Stefaans se boek-resensies verskyn gereeld in nasionale koerante en hy bied ook ‘n radioprogram op die gemeenskapsradiostasie, Life FM aan saam met Klerksdorp Rekord se redakteur, wat handel oor skrywers en boeke. Die program word Vrydae om 11:00 uitgesaai.

Music can change lives
