Donker week in Rustenburg se kragsake
RUSTENBURG HERALD - RUSTENBURG - Met die Rustenburg Munisipaliteit se vertoning oor die afgelope tyd ten opsigte van onbeplande krag- of wateronderbrekings is dit sekerlik ‘n onbegonne taak om enige krisis “die ergste in jare” te noem - die reeks krisisse waarteen ‘n mens dié oor ‘n lang termyn moet vergelyk, blyk ongelukkig net té lank te wees.
Inwoners in bykans elke uitbreiding sal saamstem dat dit nie ‘n oordrewe argument is om aan te voer dat verbruikers reeds vir jare (wat dienslewering betref) aan die agterspeen suig nie.

RUSTENBURG HERALD - RUSTENBURG - Van hoeveel instansies, organisasies of sake-ondernemings in Rustenburg en omgewing weet jy (of jou ouers) wat die bykans onmoontlike vermag het om ‘n volle 100 jaar oud te word? Ja ons weet, hoewel daar oor dekades heen talle baanbrekersorganisasies en ware geskiedenismakers uit ons wêreld vorendag gekom het, is dit nie elke dag dat enige instansie sy volgende “verjaarsdag” ‘n “eeufeesviering” kan noem nie. En in die wêreld van ink en papier (soos ons onlangs in die media verneem het) het die gedrukte media dit oor die afgelope 10 tot 20 jaar nie maklik gehad nie.

Watwou - WA van Zyl-saal nou skielik “weg”?
Gerugte dat die bekende WA van Zyl Gemeenskapsaal sowel as die munisipale woonstelle in Geelhoutpark skynbaar ‘n geruime tyd gelede aan ‘n prominente mynboumaatskappy in Rustenburg “verkoop” is of, trouens, in ‘n grondruil-transaksie tussen die maatskappy en die Rustenburg Munisipaliteit in kontraktuele rompslomp “verlore gegaan” het, het sedert verlede Dinsdag soos ‘n veldbrand versprei. Sover vasgestel kon word, is só ‘n transaksie hoegenaamd nie by wyse van ‘n Raadsbesluit deur die RLM bekragtig nie.
