Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Die reuse- driedimensionele letters wat “Afrikaans” spel en ’n landwye draai gemaak het as deel van die 100ste bestaansjaarviering van Afrikaans as amptelike landstaal, het op Dinsdag 27 Mei eindelik by die Voortrekkermonument in Pretoria aangekom. Dié geskiedkundige oomblik is met groot opgewondenheid en trots gevier.
Ná ’n wye tiekiedraai tot in die Kaap en terug, is die Voortrekkermonument die trotse tuiste van dié letters vir die res van 2025.
’n Aand om te onthou vir Triest se gaste
Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Dit is vir hulle soos ‘n matriekafskeid, maar eintlik is dit nie.
Vir die kliënte by Triest Sentrum vir Intellektueel Gestremde Volwassenes is hulle Glitz & Glamour Gala ‘n aand van prag en praal. Waar hulle hul mooiste en blinkste uitrustings kan aantrek, op ‘n rooi tapyt kan stap en die aand om dans. “Amper soos ‘n matriekafskeid,’’ glimlag Johan Gerber wat die sentrum bestuur.
“Elke jaar sit ‘n klompie plaaslike borge koppe bymekaar om vir ons inwoners ‘n stylvolle aand te verseker. En daarvoor kan ons nie genoeg dankie sê nie.’’
