Klerksdorp Record, Jouberton - An employee of the municipality is shocked after he was allegedly beaten up by the police when he went to the local police station to enquire about the well-being of his teenage son who was arrested. Now he wants justice...
Daniel Mmane (52) and his son both appeared in the magistrate’s court in Klerksdorp on Thursday October 19. Both spent two nights in the holding cell at the police station before their appearance.
Daniel went to station on October 17, after his son, Keorapetse (19), was arrested for carrying a dangerous weapon. He was, in fact, carrying a table knife. His case was thrown out of court and he was released. Daniel had a very tough experience and it is not over yet.
City has one Post Office left
Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - The Post Office in the City Mall has been closed since last year, but the post boxes stayed open. They are also closed now.
Upset consumers have been phoning Klerksdorp Record to find out what is happening as according to the complainants they were not informed and they don’t know where to get their post.
Klerksdorp Record contacted the only Post Office still left in the city, Flamwood, and was told that owners of those post boxes can collect their post at the depot in Delver Street.
“Just ask at the window for your post,” the newspaper was told. This is where owners of “postal bags” collected their post.
Flamwood Post Office is still functioning, but you cannot renew your vehicle licence at this Post Office. In Klerksdorp, this service is now only offered at the licencing department in Uraniaville.
The Post Office in Songloed at the Pick n Pay centre is also closed. The Post Offices in Orkney and Stilfontein are still operational.

Angry mob sets killer alight
Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - A mob of angry taxi drivers killed a man suspected of killing one of their own by drenching him in petrol and setting him alight.
Community members said Mzikayise Madala Qala (33) was necklaced but SAPS’ Lt Col Amanda Funani said she could only confirm that Qala was set alight by using petrol. Necklacing is a method of torture carried out by forcing a rubber tire drenched with petrol around a victim’s chest and arms, and setting it on fire.
After this incident in the early hours of Sunday October 15, the NW Provincial Commissioner, Lt-Gen Sello Kwena cautioned members of the community to refrain from taking the law into their own hands.
