Klerksdorp Record, Pilanesberg - Zander Lombard was delighted to be back at Sun City for an event which this year boasts a stellar 66-man field including defending champion Tommy Fleetwood, Major winners Justin Rose, Francesco Molinari and Justin Thomas, and Ryder Cup stars Max Homa, Nicolai Højgaard and Robert MacIntyre as well as a host of other DP World Tour winners.

“It’s great to be back. It’s always a special week with friends and family that come to support. That’s what you play golf for. It’s great to have a few of the PGA Tour golfers here as well and it adds to the value of this event. I’m just really looking forward to this week,” said Lombard.

Klerksdorp runners made their mark in the recent marathon, Let’s Go Potch, that was held in the student city. The runners are training partners, share training ideas together and always strive to better their marathon times. Pictured is Abe Nkomo (third place), Diketso Radebe (second place) and Tolo Mooketsi (winner). This is the first time that all three of them were on the podium.

South Africa has won the Rugby World Cup, beating New Zealand 12-11 in a rain-soaked heavyweight tussle at the Stade de France. They certainly did it the hard way - and prevailed. 

It’s almost ridiculous - how on earth does a team anywhere, in any sport, win three colossal matches by one point each time? France, England and New Zealand will look at this in the days and weeks to come and think ‘how did that happen? 

Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - Two “brothers from another mother” both completed their 250th parkruns over the weekend.

Although Nantes Coetzee and Kevin Smit both started their Parkrun journeys on the same date (February 27, 2016) at Klerksdorp Parkrun when it was based at Makadu Restaurant, they only started walking/running together after they had completed 20 to 25 Parkruns.
