Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - ‘n Gesinsuitstappie langs die viswaters die afgelope naweek het tragies geëindig vir ‘n gesin van Klerksdorp.
Twee mans is dood toe die motor waarin hulle onderweg was huis toe van ‘n hengel-uitstappie Sondagmiddag 25 Augustus verskeie kere omgeslaan het. Conraad van Zyl (43), sy sestienjarige dogter, en ‘n huisvriend, André Nel (43) is aldrie uit die motor geslinger. Die dogter het die ongeluk wonderbaarlik oorleef met skrape en kneusplekke.
Klerksdorp Record, 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.
Work on the new shopping centre came to a standstill a bit more than two weeks ago when employees on the site were intimidated and chased away by the so-called Construction Mafia, who demanded jobs. Klerksdorp Record was told that the contractor feared for his life.
Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - “We are not construction mafia. You can’t label us like that. We represent the poorest of the poor and will continue doing that.’’
This is how an upset Mzukisi Jam reacted to the report in last week’s Klerksdorp Record in which he was identified as one of the trespassers against whom a court order was issued earlier barring him from the construction site in Buffelsdoorn Road. Jam is provincial spokesperson of the South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO).
Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - Cultural heritage is that which defines a nation, that which makes people proud, that which defines their values in a world and the significance of that which has happened yesterday pales against the background of the instant gratification offered by the glamour of social media and even mainstream media.
