Klerksdorp Record, Potchefstroom - President Cyril Ramaphosa held a successful engagement with the community of the JB Marks Local Municipality in Potchefstroom last week.
This was a return visit to the province following the initial District Development Model (DDM) Presidential Imbizo in Mafikeng last year March. The purpose of the engagement was to assess progress on the government interventions since his previous visit.
Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - A mob of angry taxi drivers killed a man suspected of killing one of their own by drenching him in petrol and setting him alight.
Community members said Mzikayise Madala Qala (33) was necklaced but SAPS’ Lt Col Amanda Funani said she could only confirm that Qala was set alight by using petrol. Necklacing is a method of torture carried out by forcing a rubber tire drenched with petrol around a victim’s chest and arms, and setting it on fire.
After this incident in the early hours of Sunday October 15, the NW Provincial Commissioner, Lt-Gen Sello Kwena cautioned members of the community to refrain from taking the law into their own hands.
Wending in soektog na vermiste man
Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Die soektog na die man wat ‘n maand gelede in Klerksdorp verdwyn het, het ‘n vreemde wending geneem nadat hy in kontak gekom het met sy ma.
“Hy lewe, hy is veilig,’’ het Natasha Swanepoel vandeesweek aan Klerksdorp Rekord gesê. Sy wou nie verder uitbrei nie, net dat haar seun nie wou verklap waar hy is nie en gesê het hy vrees vir sy lewe en die van die mense na aan hom. “Ons is in die duister, maar ek is net verlig hy lewe. Ek het regtig gevrees vir die ergste.’’
Klerksdorp Rekord, Orkney - Familie van die vermoorde Ria Jansen van Vuuren van Orkney het hulle nou na die privaatondersoeker Mike Bolhuis gewend in ‘n poging om antwoorde te kry op wat regtig daardie noodlottige Vadersdag gebeur het. Ria, ‘n teatersuster by ‘n Klerksdorpse hospitaal, is vermoedelik deur haar eksman in die gesig geskiet.
Die familie het egter hoop verloor om reg te laat geskied nadat Johan (52), die eksman, verlede week by sy huis beswyk het. Daar word vermoed dit was ‘n hartaanval. Johan was skaars twee maande terug by die huis waar die treurspel afgespeel het, nadat hy op 15 Augustus op borgtog van R3 000 vrygelaat is.
Hy was sedert die voorval op 18 Junie in aanhouding. Op Woensdag 11 Oktober was hy dood.
Antoinette Coetzer, een van Bolhuis se ondersoekers, het aan Klerksdorp Rekord gesê Ria se familie wil steeds hê geregtigheid moet geskied en die waarheid oor wat daardie oggend gebeur het, moet uitkom. “Daar heers baie verwarring, veral nadat Johan in sy borgaansoek gesê het hy het haar perongeluk geskiet. Haar familie glo dit nie vir een oomblik nie.’’
