Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - A Jouberton police officer was honoured at the NW provincial excellence awards that was held at Sun City last week.
Capt Adél Kruger received the IPID trophy as a special award for her heroism last year September when she foiled an armed robbery at a local supermarket. “Upon entering the shop while an armed robbery was ongoing, a shootout ensued between her and five robbers. Although she was shot in the leg, she managed to shoot and kill one robber. Another robber was also injured, but fled with his accomplices. He was later traced and arrested by police. All stolen property that included money, cigarettes and cellular phones were recovered. Her bravery saved the life of the innocent and ensured that the perpetrators were identified,” said Col Adele Myburgh, police spokesperson.

Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Marina de Lange was die vriendelike persoon wat familielede ontmoet het wanneer hulle die groot stap geneem het om hul geliefde te laat opneem by die Sanpark rehabilitasiesentrum.
Sy het verlede week afgetree en vertel 36 jaar is in ‘n oogwink verby. Sy was dertig jaar oud toe sy daar begin werk het. “Dit was net die wil van die Here wat my na Sanpark geneem het.’’
As student wou Marina met kinders werk en het plekke vir haar praktiese werk as student altyd so gekies. Sy het na haar studies by die kinderhuis begin werk en moederskap en verdere studies het haar besig gehou. “Ek moes toe ook ‘n module doen oor verslawing en prakties doen. So land ek toe by Sanpark as nagraadse student en het nooit weer weggegaan nie. ‘n Nuwe lewe vir mense wat so verstrik raak in verslawing het baie gou my passie geword,” vertel sy.
Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Inwoners het Chanelle Greenan al by van die stad se verkeersligte naby die landdroshof in die middestad gesien waar sy in haar rystoel sit en vra vir donasies.
Dié 23-jarige is so swak dat haar man haar moet ronddra, optel en versorg.
Sy en Johan het Klerksdorp Rekord besoek in die hoop dat iemand haar kan help om ‘n elektroniese rystoel te kry. Hy doen al die praatwerk en sy het in die motor gesit en net gegroet. “Die staat gee nie sulke duur toerusting nie. Ek weet van ‘n gebruikte een wat by ‘n pandjieswinkel staan, maar hy kos R12 000. Ek het die eienaar gevra of hy hom sal skenk, maar hy wil nie. Ek weet nie hoeveel kos ‘n nuwe een nie,” het Johan gesê.
