Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - A memorial service honouring well-known businessman Victor Ramos was held in the Roman Catholic Church earlier this week.

Vic was 63 years old. He died suddenly last week after being admitted to hospital where he was diagnosed with lymphoma. His wife, Yolandi and children, Marilyn and Rob, and their spouses, Lourens and Ella are devastated by the loss of their husband and father. “He was ill and after the diagnoses we were shattered, but we never expected it to happen so quickly,’’ a tearful Yolandi said after his memorial service. 

Klerkdorp Rekord, Rustenburg - Dr Thelma de Kock is verlede week oorlede nadat sy drie weke gelede verstik het. Sy was ‘n geliefde dokter in Klerksdorp vir baie jare voor sy na Rustenburg verhuis het. 

Volgens haar man, Des du Plessis, was haar dood onverwags, want sy was blakend gesond. Sy het op 72-jarige ouderdom nog steeds praktiseer. Sy is op Vrydag 14 Maart in Rustenburg oorlede nadat sy drie weke in die hoësorgeenheid was nadat sy verstik het.

“Haar slukderm het geskeur en dit het komplikasies veroorsaak,” het ‘n treurende Des aan Klerksdorp Rekord vertel.

Stefaans met sy boek Onbeskryflike Genade en Sandy met haar jongste pennevrug, Chakalaka uit ‘n blikkie, het met mekaar gesels oor oorvleuelde temas in hul boeke. Die verantwoordelikheid van ouerskap en veral die verlies aan ‘n ouer en die invloed daarvan in jou grootmensjare is ondermeer bespreek. Albei woon in Klerksdorp.

Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - After taking the leap, placing her name in the hat, and submitting her application to be part of the 2025 Mrs South Africa season, Klerksdorp’s very own Blessing Ngwenya, was announced a semi-finalist in the Mrs South Africa pageant.

The big draw for Ngwenya is the pageant’s promise of genuine empowerment, personal transformation, and the ability to make a lasting impact. 

Every story is unique - ask every contestant, and each will have a different defining moment that brought them here. Likewise, for Ngwenya, her reason for joining the Mrs South Africa sisterhood was clear.
