Klerksdorp Rekord, Orkney - ‘n Trop ape wat baljaar in ‘n deel van Lourenspark naby aan die Vaalrivier, is besig om inwoners grys hare te gee.

Klagtes wat Klerksdorp Rekord ontvang het, sluit in skade aan tuinornamente en stoepmeubels, bevuiling van die tuin, en ‘n geplunder van vrugtebome en groentetuine. Wat vir Christine Scheepers in Watermeyerstraat verder die harnas in jaag is dat mense die ape voer wat hulle al verder in die woonbuurt lok. Troeteldiere word ook geteister, sê sy.
