RUSTENBURG HERALD - RUSTENBURG - The day of 14 January 2017 would be life changing for the Esterhuizen family - even if they didn’t know it yet. 
At the time, the Esterhuizen family, and especially mom of three, Bianca, was yearning for a little girl to add to their family of five. Bianca and her husband, Gerhardt were proud parents of three sprightly young boys, who had filled their house with love and laughter. However, as Bianca explains, her longing for a blue-eyed, blonde little girl would not subside.  “In 2009 I had fallen pregnant for the third time and at 13 weeks we were overjoyed to find out that it was a girl.” After giving birth to two boys, the Esterhuizen house would finally be complete with the pitter-patter of a little girl’s feet.

Saturday, 24 August, saw one of the biggest turnouts ever at the annual Golden Oldies Car Show at Brauhaus Afrika with a record number of 1 000 adults pouring through the gates.
What a day it was - excellent views of the Magaliesberg and Olifantsnek Dam, miles and miles of classic, collectibles and nice-to-have cars from yesteryear, static engines, lots to eat and drink and the company of family and friends - the proverbial field day, so to speak.

RUSTENBURG HERALD - RUSTENBURG - Van hoeveel instansies, organisasies of sake-ondernemings in Rustenburg en omgewing weet jy (of jou ouers) wat die bykans onmoontlike vermag het om ‘n volle 100 jaar oud te word? 
Ja ons weet, hoewel daar oor dekades heen talle baanbrekersorganisasies en ware geskiedenismakers uit ons wêreld vorendag gekom het, is dit nie elke dag dat enige instansie sy volgende “verjaarsdag” ‘n “eeufeesviering” kan noem nie.

RUSTENBURG HERALD - RUSTENBURG - Die Rustenburg Golden Oldies is eerskomende Saterdag, 24 Augustus, weer op hul pos met hul jaarlikse Golden Oldies Motorskou wat vanjaar by die gesellige kuierplek Brauhaus Afrika aangebied word. Onder Rustenburg se motor- en enjingeesdriftiges is die jaarlikse motorskou sekerlik die kersie op die koek van plaaslike gebeurtenisse. Kortom behels die Motorskou ‘n spoguitstalling van ongeveer 200 motors indien nie meer nie, wat wissel van klassieke versamelaarsrygoed, so ‘n bietjie jonger maar nogtans nostalgiese immergroen-modelle wat pragtig gerestoureer is, dalk meer byderwetse “muscle cars”, sogenaamde Street Rods en dan uiters duur en ikoniese motors wat mense se asems sonder uitsondering wegslaan as jy so gelukkig is dat een hiervan by die verkeerslig in die baan langs jou intrek. 

RUSTENBURG HERALD - RUSTENBURG - In celebration of our incredibly dynamic women on the front page this week, here is a quick rundown of what makes them so special and indispensable in their individual communities:

Talle Rustenburgers wat hul lewens lank al hier in die dorpie in die skadu’s van die Magaliesberg woon, sal met ‘n tikkie nostalgie kan onthou hou Rustenburg Herald in hul vroeë kinderjare as’t ware die eerste koerant was waarmee hulle kennis gemaak het en hoe hulle met verloop van die lewe net soos die koerant verskeie metamorfoses tot volwassenheid ondergaan het.
