Lentswe, Alabama - Kingdom Recovery is a volunteer group of Alabama who lends a helping hand towards drug addicts undergoing rehabilitation.
Currently they provide for 17 individuals in four different rehabilitation centres in Gauteng and need to raise R22 500 every month to pay for the six month programme. The programme started in June and it is a struggle to pay the funds due every month as they rely on funding from donors because many families cannot pay for the rehab themselves. “It is very sad that when a family comes to us with a patient that wants to go for rehabilitation then we have to put them on a waiting list due to lack of funds available.

Mall trespassers ignore court order
Lentswe, Klerksdorp - A court order issued last week against so-called trespassers or inciters at the new Village shopping centre that is being erected in Buffelsdoorn Road seems to have mostly been ignored.
