Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - The MMC for Electrical Engineering, Cllr Matome Mangesi, encourages residents to upgrade their prepaid meter systems.

Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Dit is nie aldag dat ‘n 89-jarige man agter die stuurstang van ‘n vliegtuig sit nie, wat nog te sê vlieg, maar vir Basie van der Merwe van Klerksdorp is kan-nie dood van kruiwa stoot en toe Cliff Lotter sê vlieg, toe vlieg hy.
Cliff, kampioen kunsvlieënier, het op Vrydag 1 November vir Basie en sy vrou, Magda vir ‘n sonsondergang vlug in sy 4-sitplek Cessna gevat. Die egpaar het die “sunset cruise’’ gewen as besgeklede paartjie tydens Klerksdorp se eerste Distinguished Gentleman’s Drive.
