The Noordwester received the following kudos-letter from a resident in Coligny:
Councilor Cobus van Tonder (DA Ward 15) is going out of his way for the residents of Coligny. After the recent rain, using his own equipment, the main street was repaired - crasher and all.  He does a lot of work that should be done by the municipality. He buys clamps, even fixes their tractors and so much more.   “Councilor van Tonder, we want to give you a big shout-out from the residents in and around Coligny  going the extra mile for us.
