Klerksdorp Rekord, Stilfontein - Die Matlo-sana/Stilfontein Animal Shelter het 27 worshonde verlede week uit “haglike omstandighede’’ gered toe hulle by ‘n honde-teler se huis op die dorp toeslaan.
Suzette Kotze het aan Klerksdorp Rekord gesê dat sy via ‘n selfoonboodskap ingelig is van die worshonde. Wat sy by die huis aangetref het, het haar ergste verwagtinge oortref. “Ek was geskok. Ek het al erger gesien, maar dis erg. Hulle is baie swak. Hulle het so min kos gekry,” het sy vandeesweek gesê.
Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - The taxi rank, next to the N12, turned into an ugly and muddled site with illegal vendors and structures. This week, the Matlosana Municipality rounded up some help from SAPS and tore down and removed most illegal structures.
“Despite repeat warnings, vendors refused to remove the structures, which were not only illegal but also contributed to the deterioration of the town’s cleanliness and aesthetic appeal,’’ said Ntswaki Makgetha, municipal spokesperson.
Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - There is a new cop in town - and he means business.
Klerksdorp SAPS welcomed Brig Tsietsi Morebodi into its fold in September and after almost three months in the hot seat, he has settled in his new position as Klerksdorp Station Commander. It was his admiration for the uniform and the discipline that comes with it, that encouraged a young Morebodi to join SAPS after matric.
Growing up in Ikageng, he admired the men and women in blue, until he became one himself. He started his career in uniform 31 years ago when he worked at the VIP unit in Pretoria. He then proceeded to Public Order Police (POP) Vereeniging in 1995 and was transferred to Potchefstroom POP in 1997. Four years later, he was appointed as the Station Commander of Klerkskraal SAPS as a Warrant Officer.
