Klerksdorp Midweek, Klerksdorp - Lilie, ‘n chihuahua, wat op 31 Januarie vermis geraak het, is steeds weg. Haar mense het ‘n beloning uitgeloof om die klein hondjie terug te kry. Megan Smith se hart is gebreek. Lilie is al vir langer as tien jaar aan haar sy en het per ongeluk uit hul erf in Van Onselenstraat, Neserhof gekom. “Sy was nog nooit buite die erf nie. Sy is so klein en het ongesiens uitgekom. Sy is ligbruin van kleur, haar tong hang effens uit en sy volg ‘n spesiale dieet omdat sy al so oud is. Asseblief, ons wil haar bitter graag terug hê,” smeek Megan.
