Klerksdorp Record, Bothaville - Following weeks of heavy rainfall, Grain SA and the NAMPO reassured all exhibitors, visitors, and partners that the 2025 event will go ahead as scheduled from May 13 to 16.

Vloedskade beloop derduisende rande

Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Na die swaar reën die afgelope maande en die Vaalrivier wat twee keer binne etlike weke sy walle oorstroom het, sukkel inwoners om weer die stukke op te tel nou dat die vloedwater begin sak het.

Klerksdorp Rekord is bewus van heelwat vloedslagoffers wat hande in die hare sit oor die skoonmaakproses. Van hulle het alles verloor in die vloed. Ook besighede met hoë uitgawes én volgens die bestuurder van die Wawielpark Vakansieoord betaal die meeste versekeraars nie vir vloedskade nie - die skade is dus vir hul eie sak. Een van die stad se finansiële dienste wat naamloos wil bly, het dit beaam.

Sponsors who want to become involved with the pageant, can contact Dyson on 071 171 1111.

Lank lewe Afrikaans

Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Wat ‘n voorreg om op Donderdag 8 Mei, die eeuviering van Afrikaans as amptelike taal van Suid-Afrika te vier.

Dis hoe Klerksdorpse prokureur Danie de Kock, hierdie mylpaal beskryf. Op 8 Mei 1925 het Afrikaans, naas Engels, amptelik een van Suid-Afrika se twee landstale geword.

“Afrikaans is natuurlik veel ouer as ‘n honderd jaar, maar die datum 8 Mei 1925 is sonder twyfel een van die belangrikste datums aangesien dit die dag was wat Afrikaans amptelike status gekry het. ‘n Status wat dit na 1994 behou het en vandag nog steeds het.
