Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - A local artist well-known for his craftsmanship with metal art sculptures is concerned after two of his sculptures were stolen in broad daylight.
The area on the corner of Dr Yusuf Dadoo- and Austin Street is known for its display of beautiful metal art and garden ornaments and the site has for years now been home to a select few to show and sell their exquisite work. One of the artists, the Mozambican Enias Chingombe has been trading from this spot for years, without incident except when two of his sculpted horses disappeared overnight two years ago.

Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - North West retained its fourth place in the top performing provinces with an improvement from the class of 2023 by 5.9%.
However, the DA is concerned by the decline in the uptake of gateway subjects, specifically physical sciences, accounting, and mathematics. “We are encouraged by the announcement by Education Minister, Siviwe Gwarube, that she will prioritise efforts towards improving early childhood education and foundational phase support which will capacitate young learners with the language and numeracy skills required for these subjects in later grades, which will improve overall academic performance,’’ said DA spokesperson, CJ Steyl.
