BONUS - RUSTENBURG - Nordic walking is a buzz word when it comes to exercise, because walking with a Nordic pole enables you to use 90% of your muscles, burn 45% more calories than normal walking and has 30% less impact on your joints.
Scientific studies show that Nordic walking can have a positive impact on people who suffer from Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as arthritis - blood circulation in your brain can radically improve during the Nordic walk improving brain function. It can also have a positive effect on heart health.

Late Sunday afternoon the first real thunder storm of the summer rolled over Rustenburg. It brought some slight relief after an extremely hot weekend.

Juan-Dré Schmidt took this impressive photo from his home in Leyds Street, Rustenburg. The forecast for the rest of the week promises cooler, cloudy days. Rain is only predicted again for next Tuesday (21 November).

Four new speed humps which were erected in Cuckoo Avenue Rustenburg  over the weekend literally became the talk of the town with residents and motorists flocking to social media in great numbers to point out the pros and cons of these “traffic calming devices”. According to DA Cllr Tanya Rothman of Ward 17, the new speed humps have been necessitated following constant complaints of reckless driving and speeding by motorists in the area over the course of the past two years.

When the day is done
And the darkness slowly comes
The hands of forgotten gods light the flickering candles up above
Beckoning the scorpion, the ram, the bull and the lion
Calling the Southern Cross to guide
To light the way
To this piece of earth we love
