Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - ‘n Veertienjarige skoolseun van Pretoria wat verlede week in die stad kom hokkie speel het, is die jongste slagoffer van misdaad in die middestad.
Die kind, een van ‘n tweeling, is met ‘n mes gesteek. Hy het steke vir die wond in sy skouer gekry en sal waarskynlik op anti-retrovirale middels moet gaan as deel van sy behandeling. Hy was deel van ‘n besoekende skoolspan wat by KHS ‘n hokkiewedstryd gespeel het. Die span het Donderdagmiddag 20 Maart op pad terug huis toe by die Mccafé in die hoofstraat gestop om kos te koop.
Klerksdorp Rekord, Orkney - Gewapende mans wat in ‘n bruin Mini Cooper rondry, word by verskeie voorvalle betrek waar daar glo die afgelope ruk probeer is om kinders te gryp.
Die jongste geval was by ‘n Laerskool op Orkney waar die mans glo probeer het om ‘n tweejarige dogtertjie uit haar ma se arms te gryp. Sy het buite die skool parkeer toe die Mini Cooper by haar stop.
Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Klerksdorpers moet liefs hul motors snags in geslote motorhuise parkeer of hul sekuriteit opskerp as hulle hul motorwiele wil behou.
Só waarsku ‘n plaaslike sekuriteitsmaatskappy nadat wiele die afgelope ruk weer by heelparty huise in verskillende Klerksdorpse woonbuurte gesteel is.
