Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - One of the country’s top comedians will be on the Escapades Stage this month and he promises to keep you giggling! Two lucky couples can attend the show for free and they can also go to dinner; all with compliments of Rio Casino.
Schalk Bezuidenhout will be at the casino on Saturday August 16. He is described as South Africa’s favourite quirky funnyman and his latest comedy show is sharper, braver, and more hilarious than ever.
Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - The North West Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (NW-DARD) has committed R36.856 million to the Red Meat Industry Development and Enhancement Programme, a targeted intervention aimed at repositioning the province as a major player in South Africa’s red meat economy.
Announced last Wednesday July 23, by MEC Madoda Sambatha during his Department’s Policy and Budget Speech at the North West Provincial Legislature, the programme is set to directly benefit 7 242 farmers including 4 728 men, 2 219 women, 252 youth, and 43 people living with disabilities, through structured production support, access to value chains, and market integration.
Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Dit was nie net die poedingtafel wat onder die bakkies nagereg gekreun het nie, maar die heerlike pap-en-kaiings en varsgebakte pannekoek wat Klerksdorpers na die Tehuis vir Bejaardes se jaarlikse basaar gelok het.
Die basaar was weereens ‘n uitverkoop sukses, want daar was van vroeg af lang rye om van die lekker tuisgebak op te raap. Elke jaar ondersteun die skole ook die gebeurtenis met kunswerke, musiek en gedigte en vanjaar het Laerskool Saamtrek se jongspan Afrikaanse idiome uitgebeeld en Laerskool LaHoff se skoolkoor het opgetree.
Hoërskoolleerlinge het aan ‘n selfoon-fotografiekompetisie deelgeneem en Klerksdorp Rekord se redakteur, Salomé Kotzé het die wenners aangekondig. Rebecca Moll van Hoërskool Wesvalia het die wenfoto geneem.
Plaaslike sanger Michael D’Angelo het ook die besoekers vermaak. Die dag was ‘n rasende sukses vir die organiseerders en inwoners van die tehuis.
Rebecca Moll het die foto in Namibië tydens die gr 11 roeitoer geneem. Die foto is as die beste foto aangewys in Klerksdorp Tehuis vir Bejaardes se selfoon-fotografiekompetisie vir hoërskoolleerlinge.
Klerksdorp Record, Potchefstroom - Prof Bismark Tyobeka, principal and vice-chancellor of the North-West University (NWU), has lauded Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi’s announcement that plans are in place to add to the country’s ten academic hospitals.
