Klerksdorp Rekord, Orkney - Ken jy die geestelike lied “hoor jy die klokke beier?” En hoor jy die klokke lui op Orkney?
Elke dag om 12:00 lui die kerkklok in Byronlaan sewe keer. Dit is om die Orkney gemeenskap te herinner om te bid vir die dorp. Net daar waar jy is kan jy bid vir die dorp se mense, besighede, kinders, die buurtwagte en vir veiligheid terwyl die kerkklok beier.
Dit is by die ou NG Noordvaal kerkgebou waar pastoor Petro Kotze Odendaal en haar Voetliggemeente ingetrek het. Hulle het van Orkney Vaal verhuis waar die kerk gestig is en gebruik nou die kerkgebou wat aan die NG Kerk behoort. Dit is die pastoor se inisiatief om die kerkklok daagliks om 12 uur te laat beier, want “Orkney behoort aan die Here’’.
Father, son spend time in cell
Klerksdorp Record, Jouberton - An employee of the municipality is shocked after he was allegedly beaten up by the police when he went to the local police station to enquire about the well-being of his teenage son who was arrested. Now he wants justice...
Daniel Mmane (52) and his son both appeared in the magistrate’s court in Klerksdorp on Thursday October 19. Both spent two nights in the holding cell at the police station before their appearance.
Daniel went to station on October 17, after his son, Keorapetse (19), was arrested for carrying a dangerous weapon. He was, in fact, carrying a table knife. His case was thrown out of court and he was released. Daniel had a very tough experience and it is not over yet.
City has one Post Office left
Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - The Post Office in the City Mall has been closed since last year, but the post boxes stayed open. They are also closed now.
Upset consumers have been phoning Klerksdorp Record to find out what is happening as according to the complainants they were not informed and they don’t know where to get their post.
Klerksdorp Record contacted the only Post Office still left in the city, Flamwood, and was told that owners of those post boxes can collect their post at the depot in Delver Street.
“Just ask at the window for your post,” the newspaper was told. This is where owners of “postal bags” collected their post.
Flamwood Post Office is still functioning, but you cannot renew your vehicle licence at this Post Office. In Klerksdorp, this service is now only offered at the licencing department in Uraniaville.
The Post Office in Songloed at the Pick n Pay centre is also closed. The Post Offices in Orkney and Stilfontein are still operational.
