STELLALANDER-VRYBURG: Presies drie dekades nadat “Hie’ kommie Bokke!” in 1995 tydens die Springbokke se historiese Rugbywêreldbeker-oorwinning oor die All Blacks op die destydse Ellispark in elke huis en motor opgeklink het, het die Federasie van Afrikaanse Kultuurvereniginge (FAK) ’n eretoekenning aan Leon Schuster oorhandig vir sy lewensbydrae tot Afrikaanse musiek, rolprente en radiowerk.

STELLALANDER-VRYBURG: Hannes and his sister, Irene Fourie, have lived on a small plot just outside Vryburg for more than 40 years. Known locally as Ben Blom’s plot, the property is home to 12 families, including 14 school-going children who have no transport to get to school. 
What makes life even harder for these residents is the complete lack of running water. According to Hannes, the only borehole on the property collapsed years ago when the pipes fell in. Today, residents rely on a makeshift system, drawing water from the narrow borehole using a coffee tin attached to a 100-metre rope. “Fifteen coffee tins make up about 20 litres of water,” explains Hannes. Irene adds that it’s almost impossible to get enough water for washing clothes and bedding. While the plot does have electricity, which residents purchase as prepaid power, the absence of water and proper infrastructure remains a major challenge.
