Klerksdorp Rekord, Stilfontein - ‘n Deel van Umgenistraat op Stilfontein is gesluit vir verkeer nadat die teerpad begin insak het.
Die sinkende pad voor Barbara Botha se huis veroorsaak slapelose nagte en sy leef in angs dat haar huis in ‘n gat gaan ver-dwyn. “Mense verstaan nie ons vrees nie. Net verlede week het my vriendin se motor in ‘n gat in die pad weggesak. Dit is toe ons besef ons sal die pad vir verkeer moet sluit. Dit is te gevaarlik om daar te ry."
