Please donate blood
Klerksdorp Midweek, Klerksdorp - If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to start donating blood, it is best to begin immediately. SANBS is appealing to O+ donors to donate as blood stock levels are critical. The current levels are very low. SANBS needs to maintain a blood stock level of five days for each blood group to ensure sustained blood availability for patients in need. It is classified as significantly low when it reaches 3.5 days and critical at 3 days. According to the SANBS website, less than 1% of South Africans are active blood donors. A unit of blood only lasts 42 days after donation and, for this reason, it is important for blood donors to donate regularly. Donors can give blood as often as every eight weeks.
Learner fooled by ‘prophet’
Klerksdorp Midweek, Stilfontein - Various so-called prophets are roaming the streets, stealing from unsuspecting residents. In a recent incident, a man wearing a black hat approached a learner from the local high school, introducing himself as a prophet. Another man approached the learner, who asked for directions. According to W/O Dawie Venter, the investigating officer, the ‘prophet’ gave the man who asked for directions a bag saying he must put his cellphone in it.
No more cash payment of grants
Klerksdorp Midweek, Klerksdorp - If you collect your grant payment at your local Post Office, you will have to make other arrangements. According to the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa), grant beneficiaries will no longer be able to collect their grants from the Post Office and Postbank. Physical cash payment points will also be phased out according to the organisations. The phasing out will take place from this month.
