Klerksdorp Record, Orkney - The Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality is steadfast on community skills development, particularly youth within its borders. Evidence to this is a novel partnership with the Department of Employment and Labour, and KST Multimedia, a skills development training institution focusing mainly in the media development space.

The three institutions are in a public private partnership to offer media skills to 200 youth from both City of Matlosana and JB Marks Local Municipalities.

Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Almal het hom as Hennie Spietkop geken, al het hy al agtien jaar gelede die tuig neergelê as verkeersbeampte.

Hennie Prinsloo (63) is op Sondag 17 Augustus oorlede. Hy is op Vrydag 15 Augustus in Wilmed Park opgeneem nadat hy by die huis geval en ‘n heup gebreek het. 

Sy vrou, Lindie en kinders is hartseer, maar het berusting. Hennie wat aan Parkinsons se siekte gely het, het drie weke gelede gehoor sy kanker is terminaal en daar is niks meer wat dokters kan doen nie. Sy seun, Clinton, vertel dat sy pa die laaste paar jaar hard baklei het teen kolonkanker. “Ons is bly hy is verdere lyding gespaar. Dit was nie vir hom maklik nie, veral nie die laaste paar dae in die hospitaal nie.’’
