Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Apteekdienste by Klerksdorp en Thepong hospitale word oorval met pasiënte van naburige dorpe en om die las te verlig, sal hulle hoofsaaklik pasiënte van die Kosh-gebied verkies.

Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Botle ke botle, oftewel mooi is mooi, is ‘n projek wat Klerksdorp weer mooi wil laat lyk.
Die Matlosana Munisipaliteit se departement van Gemeenskapsdienste, onder leiding van LUR Kgosietsile Seitshiro, het die projek van stapel gestuur, wat tans aan die gang is. Dié inisiatief het in 2022 begin en is daarop gemik om omgewingskwessies binne Matlosana aan te spreek.
Die Uitgebreide Openbare Werkeprogram (EPWP) in Matlosana ondersteun hierdie inisiatief deur te fokus op die skoonmaak van oop ruimtes, die verfraaiing van die N12-roete, afvalverwydering en ander omgewingskwessies. “Spanlede kan gesien word met groen oorpakke langs die N12-roete en ander plekke. Die groen oorpakke simboliseer hul verbintenis tot omgewingsvolhoubaarheid,”sê Ntswaki Makgetha, woordvoerder.
Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - Valerie Proudfoot passed away last week.
Valerie (83) was the proud mother of Matthew. He grew up in Klerksdorp and was part of both the Springbok and English rugby team’s coaching staff in the past.
Matthew stayed with her in Klerksdorp up to her passing, while he was still coaching the Leopards in Potchefstroom. Condolences from all over the world started streaming in when news of her death became known.
According to Yvonne Glaser, who was a close friend of Valerie, her death on Friday July 11 was unexpected.
“She was disabled and in a wheelchair, but she had carers. I don’t know what caused her death, but she certainly wasn’t sick. I’ve known her for many years. We played bowls and bridge together,” Yvonne said.
Valerie’s funeral service will take place at the Presbyterian Church at 11:00 on Saturday July 19.
Klerksdorp Record, Stilfontein - The NW Health Department last week issued a letter saying it will grant a hundred bed licence to Stilfontein’s revamped Duff Scott hospital - provided its’ management comply with a check list within six months.
This would entail laying in gas lines that enable theatre operations - at a cost of nearly R30 million which remains unaffordable to the hospital’s shareholders. CEO Annisia Botha says the hospital could legitimately open its doors tomorrow to create the necessary cash flow - without theatres for the moment.
