Klerksdorp Midweek, Klerksdorp - Shocking hygiene violations, including live crabs found in a refrigerator, raw frozen meat left directly on the floor in butchery areas, and the discovery of fake branded clothing for sale, were uncovered during a special cleanup operation by the Matlosana Municipality on Friday January 16.

The raid at the taxi rank used for commuters to Tigane in the Noorkom Centre in North Street, Klerksdorp led to two premises being immediately prohibited from trading due to severe non-compliance and poor hygiene.

The operation, part of the City’s ongoing efforts to enforce municipal by-laws and national legislation, was led by Steven Mpato, Assistant Director for Fire and Rescue Services, alongside various law enforcement and compliance teams. Its primary objective was to promote public health, safety, and a clean trading environment for commuters, residents, and visitors.

Klerksdorp Midweek, Klerksdorp - Dit is terug skool toe en terwyl leerlinge regoor die land vir ‘n nuwe akademiese jaar inskakel, word ouers en versorgers aangemoedig om veiligheid ‘n topprioriteit te maak.

“Terug skool toe is ‘n opwindende tyd, maar dit bring ook nuwe roetines en verantwoordelikhede mee,” sê Charnel Hattingh, groephoof van Kommunikasie en Bemarking by die Fidelity Services Group.

“Om kinders eenvoudige, ouderdomsgepaste veiligheidsgewoontes te leer, kan ‘n groot verskil maak om hulle veilig te hou, beide binne en buite die skool. Dit is noodsaaklik dat u seker maak u kinders weet presies hoe om moontlike gevaar te vermy, en ook wat hulle moet doen indien iets slegs met hulle gebeur.”

With Potchefstroom Clinic logging 47 cases and Park Street Clinic in Klerksdorp CBD reporting 52, authorities are sounding the alarm about a concerning surge in this bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI).

Philemon Maboe, Chief Director of District Health Services, is calling on all sexually active members of the community to get tested and seek immediate treatment, even if they show no symptoms. “This is a major concern,” Maboe stated, highlighting the rapid increase in MUS diagnoses.
