Die Carletonville Herald het weer oorverskeie nuusgebeure in sy uitgawe van20 jaar gelede berig.Confusion still surrounds the num-
ber of people who died in the horrorcrash in the Eastern Cape over the wee-kend which involved a bus fromMulti-Service company. According to mediareports, it is thought that 46 people losttheir lives and another 25 were injured.The owner ofMulti-Service BusCompa-ny, Mr Cronje van Aswegen, said thatwhen the bus left Carletonville the previ-ous Friday it was carrying 52 adults andsix children, and was bound for theTranskei.The bus crashed through safety rails
and rolled down a steep embankment
at Satan’s Neck near Engocobo in theEastern Cape.Laerskool Jongspan se skolierpatrol-
lies is as die algehele wenner gekies ty-dens die skolierpatrollie-kompetisiewatdeurdie verkeersafdeling vanCarle-tonville aangebied is.

ately noticed that a connection cable tothe battery had been cut off. When hewent closer to the van he realised thatthe battery wasmissing and the personwho stole it was nowhere to be found.He had to to get a business selling
with batteries to come and assist himto get going again.
According to the police inCarletonville, another inci-dent took place when asmall truck was parked atthe Pick n Pay parking area.This truck was also parkedin an isolated space.The police is warning the
Merafong public to be alertas there have been similartendencies of such crimesand they offer some tips onparking for vehicle owners.Owners shouldbe careful
when they choose their par-king space and they shouldnot park their cars in isola-ted areas. They should alsolook around before parkingand be aware of people whoare sitting in a car as theymight be criminals.
In the meantime moto-rists should watch-out forbystanders, even those whoare selling on the streets.Batteries must be tied up
in a more secure way whilemotorists should re-checkthe vehicles after parking.

They say the best things in life are free and yetpeople base their lives on what they possess.It is as if life is all about the things that are tan-gible whichmoney can buy, but the truth ismo-ney cannot buy everything.There are many precious values that we as
human beings have to strive to attain and atmany are timespeople struggle to achieve thesevalues because life has been so materialised.Sometimes the simple things that we take forgranted are the things that are themost impor-tant and missing pieces in our lives.I cannot imagine a life without love and peace
of mind but many people live without ever ex-periencing the pleasure of such. We need tostart giving value to ideals thatmake us humanbecause most of themindsets that prevailare rather focused onhaving a good financi-al status and provingto others that you arebetter or that you canafford what theydon’t.I believe life is not
about how much youhave in your bank ac-count but it is moreabout learning andgrowing from perso-nal and other people’sexperiences.It is also more
about finding fulfil-ment in how you live,what you do and howyou add to other peo-ple’s lives. Having material possessionsdoesn’t guarantee you happiness and it caneven lead you to feel empty while you are ina position of material wealth. Through raisingthis point I am not saying that you do not haveto strive to be financially wealthy but I’m say-ing, let us work towards living the best lives.Let us create a life that is rather fulfilling thanhaving everything but lacking the most impor-tant.There are many things that can bring fulfil-
ment to one and many are of those things can-not be bought with money.We should remember that we are naturally
born to worship our creator. That is the sole
purpose of life as I believe and humanityshould never deviate from its primary reasonof existence. I can understand that not everyo-ne believes in what I believe.It is never easy to find fulfilment if you are
constantly trying to impress others or seekingof their approval. Sometimes you have to letgo of what others think of you and do thingsyour own way. It is as if we as people keep eachother in little prisons by applying judgementalattitudes upon one another.The one ideal that has been fought for bymen
from centuries ago is “freedom.”I believe even to this daymany people haven’t
found their total freedom. People are still try-ing to find themselves because it is throughfreedom that people can reach their fullest po-tential. In the past people were fighting for a
different freedom fromwhat the current genera-tion is longing for. Be-sides the financial free-dom issue, I know manypeople are not aware ofthis but people need tobe truly liberated men-tally. This is the kind offreedom that today’s so-ciety lacks because firstof all, most people arenot educated and educa-tion is an important keyto a human mind’semancipation.It is maybe due to the
lack of knowledge thatmany people find it diffi-cult for people to live agood, better or ratherthe best life possible.
Whether you have more or less than others,there will always be something that you needto improve and people need to take time to fin-ding out and to working on the part of themsel-ves that needs to be improved. It may be perso-nal, spiritual, relationships, work related issu-es or in your community but throughacknowledging where the problem is or wherethe imbalance lies, there can be a way forward.
As long you are alive you have a chance toright your wrongs, make better decisions,mend your relationships, change your attitu-des and make the best out of the little that youhave. Enjoy life through loving and acceptingyourself as well as other people.
Make the best out of everything

Residents staying on dolomitic ground in theareamust nowpay thousands for geological dril-ling if they want to extend on their houses.
An estate agent recentlymade theHerald awa-re that property owners who wanted to extendonto their current buildings, were instructedthat they had to have geological drilling donefirst.“This is something new as drilling only had
to be done in the past if a structure containingwater, such as pipes or a swimming pool wasto be erected. Now even owners who want tobuild a garage must have drilling done first.“I recently spoke with one of my clients who
indicated that the cheapest quote he could getfor this kind of drilling was R76 000. This is ahuge issue and not many people are aware ofit,” the agent lamented.The newspaper asked theMerafong City Local
Municipality if they could shedmore light on theissue.“This is applicable country wide for all areas
which has underlying dolomite up to a depth of100m.With regard to Merafong City this means that
the northern part of Merafong City which inclu-des amongst others the towns of Carletonville,Khutsong, Welverdiend, and Blybank, as well assurrounding farming and mining areas are af-fected,” a spokesperson for the municipality re-plied on questions about the matter.“The determination is done in terms of Secti-
on 4.2.1.3 of SANS 1936 – 3 (2012). It impactson all extensions, additions and upgrading ormaintenance work to existing buildings, struc-tures and infrastructurewhich are subject to thestipulations of SANS 1936 -1 (2012).No extension, additions or upgrading shall be
undertaken unless the resulting developmentcomplies with SANS 1936 (2012). In short thismeans that a site specific geotechnical investiga-tion will be required for each stand in order todetermine its suitability for the proposed deve-lopment,” the spokesperson added.

that he is still waiting for Abe to an-swer to his invitation for a meetingwith the community. The question is:how long will the MEC wait while Me-rafong descends into ungovernablechaos?” Cilliers wondered.
“The DA stands in unity with thiscommunity and will continue to expo-se issues of maladministration andcorruption until the MEC takes acti-on,” she added.
“I find theMEC’s answer very distur-bing, but as our area has now been lin-ked to Nkandla, they will do anythingto protect Zuma,” Wisani told the He-rald late on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, DA member of parlia-ment and the constituency head forMerafong, Ms Ina Cilliers, during thelegislature sitting, asked the legislatu-re sitting what Mamabolo, the MEC(Member of the Executive Committee)of the Gauteng Department of Co-ope-rative Governance and Traditional Af-fairs (COGTA) intends to do about theserious concerns raised by communi-tymembers during a protest on 29Oc-tober.

The erstwhile Editor of the Khutsong newspaperSeipone, Mr Herman Letsie, is still ready to takeon issues in the community with his pen.
“I want to relax but writing is in my blood,”Letsie, who is currently 72 years old, told the He-rald onMonday. He tells that Seipone, whichme-ans “mirror”, was started in April 1979 after hewas approached by former colleagues Ms KotiePretorius and Judy Carter. Thenewspaper, which reported onall events in communities in thearea including funerals, wed-dings and sport, soon became ahousehold name.
The newspaper’s last editionappeared in 1984 after it wasclosed due to coorperate reshuf-fling According to Letsie, he hadbeen submitting articles fornewspapers since the age of 14.He grew up in Khutsong and isthe son of the late Mr HermanMoeketsi, who founded Letsat-sing School at West Driefonteinin 1957. After the demise of Sei-pone, Letsie went to work for Ci-ty Press. His journalistic careeralso included jobs at the RandDaily Mail, The World and a pu-blication of the Chamber of Mi-nes.
He still clearly remembers so-me of the controversial articlesthat appeared in the Seipone du-ring his time in office. One, called “The gun-to-ting Mayor” reported on the actions of a formermayor from Wateredge with the who stopped abus on the way to Khutsong with his gun. In ano-ther article, called “Council leaves the people in
the dark” he exposed two politicians, the Chair-man of the Khutsong Community Council, MrMoses Lokwe, and the Township Superinten-dent, aMrVanderMerwe, over their plan to raisebus fares and rental money in Khutsong. As theywanted to be voted in for another term, they didnot tell residents of the plan.
Except of being hauled over the coals by localpoliticians and administrators, Letsie also gotregular visits from the security police’s branch
from Potchefstroom.Letsie went to school at the
Wilberforce Training Institute inEverton, where he in 1960, theyear before he completed hisma-tric, attended a meeting in theschool’s hall led by MangalisoSobukwe, the political dissidentwho founded the PAC. After themeeting, the students helped tocreate a bonfire at the Native Af-fairs’ Office where many peopleburnt their pass books. Alt-hough Letsie was arrested du-ring this event and taken to theStofberg Police Station, he got offwith a warning for being in “badcompany”.
According to Letsie, there aremany issues in the communitythat still concerns him, such asthey way in which people whosehouses are affected by sinkholesare treated. Although Letsiestays in Randfontein, his familyis still residing in Khutsong. As
a result of his interest in the community, Letsieplans to in the near future starts to write somecolumns for the Herald again.
“I think that people must have guidance. Theymust not be left in the dark,” Letsie believes.

It seems like residents of the areacontinually have to suffer over politi-cians not taking their best interestsat heart.Last week the Herald reported on
an exposé by the radio station KayaFM that the money that was suppo-sed to renovate the Carletonville Poli-ce Station was used to update Presi-dent Zuma’s Nkandlamansion.Whatcauses this to have an even bigger im-pact on our community is the factthat crime is one of the biggest issueswe are faced with.Tomakematters worse, the area in
Merafong where there has been thehighest increase in crime is the Bly-voor area. Blyvoor falls in the Carle-tonville policing area which could ha-ve benefiteddirectly if the police stati-on was upgraded. The most popularexcuse used by government on nottackling big issues, such as the incre-ase in illegal activities linked to the
influx of zama zamas is that there isnot enough money to get more policeofficers to chase the offenders away.Just think about the difference the
money used for Nkandla could havemade if itwas spent on combating cri-me in our area? It is however not onlyon national level where problemsseem to be increasing. On local levelpeople staying in Extension 3 inKhutsong have four years been wai-ting in vain for new houses.According to police crime statistics
released by theDA this week,murderin the Merafong area increased by astaggering 152%,attempted murderby nearly 20%, illegal possession offirearms by 87% and stock theft by75%.The ongoing battle between those
in power and the normal populaceagain proves that politicians andothers in power always need to bewatched carefully.

Op 6November het ‘n geyser by ‘n huisin Eureka Park gebars.Die oorstroming van water het ver-
oorsaak dat die hele plafon ingevalhet, bo-op die arme oumensies watdaar woon. Al hul aardse besittings,insluitend hul bed was deurnat en diehele huis ‘n gemors. Ek wil net graagbaie dankie sê aan die DA raadsledewat so vining reageer het en die inwo-ners dadelik te hulp gesnel het. Dieamptenare van die munisipaliteit hetslegs ‘n ongevoelige skouer opgehaal,en dit nadat hulle uiteindelik die foon
beantwoord het. Raadslede Gary Is-herwood, Laura Isherwood, JudyRos-souw en Blackie Zwart het gehelp metdroë huisgoed, beddegoed asook kosen kruideniersware, en hulle volge-houe druk het naderhand veroorsaakdat die munisipalitiet die probleemnie langer kon ignoreer nie. In ‘n jap-trap was hulle daar om die geyser tekom regmaak. Ons dorpe val uitme-kaar weens ‘n munisipaliteit wat niksomgee vir ons weerlosemense nie. Ge-lukkig is daar darem nog ‘n handvolraadslede wat behoorlike pligsbesefhet, en waarop ‘nmens kan staatmaakin tye van nood.
Dankie aan raadslede vir hul hulp

Word from the Bible: Bennie Mostert
Jeremiah 1:5“Before I formedyou in thewomb
I knew you, before you were bornI set you apart; I appointed you asa prophet to the nations.”Exodus 33:17And the Lord said to Moses, “I
will do the very thing you haveasked, because I am pleased withyou and I know you by name.”Matthew 6:8Do not be like them, for your fa-
ther knows what you need beforeyou ask him.Isaiah 42:9“See, the former things have ta-
ken place, and new things I declare;before they spring into being I an-nounce them to you.”Isaiah 46:10Imake known the end from the end
from the beginning, from ancient ti-mes, what is still to come. I say: mypurpose will stand, and I will do allthat I please.2 Timothy 2:19Nevertheless, God’s solid foundati-
on stands firm, sealed with this in-scription:
“The Lord knows those who areHis,” and, “everyone who confessesthe name of the Lordmust turn awayfrom wickedness.”Romans 8:29-30
For those God knew He also pre-destined to be conformed to the liken-ess of His son, that He might be thefirstborn among many brothers.And those He predestined, He also
called; those He called, He also justi-fied; those He justified, He also glori-fied.Acts 2:23This man was handed over to you
by God’s set purpose and foreknow-ledge; and you, with the help of wic-kedmen, put Him to death by nailinghim to the cross.Matthew 24:36“No one knows about that day or
hour, not even the angels in heaven,nor the son, but only the father.”

Inwoners van Welverdiend sit blyk-baar steeds met hul hande in hul ha-re oor burewat gemors gooi net waarhulle wil.Sover as wat Wysneus kon hoor, is
inwoners van Derdelaan wat nabydie spruitwoon,woedendomdat vanhul bure verder op in die straat aan-hou om hul gemors op die oop erwenaby die spruit te kom gooi.Volgensinwoners van dié omgewing het daardie afgelope paar jaar verskeie gesin-ne van voorheen agtergeblewe ge-meenskappe in die straat ingetrek.Dié mense is blykbaar wonderlike
burewat ook sekermaakdat hul vul-lis gereëld verwyder word en in nie-mand anders se pad kom nie. Dieprobleem lê blykbaar by van diemense wat al jarelange inwoners vandie dorp en omgewing is. Veral eengesin, wat in ‘n mooi groot huis metnetjiese erf woon, is blykbaar lief omhul gemors nie vir hulself te hou nie.Nou wonder Wysneus. Hoekom
kan mense maar nie net teenoor an-der optree soos wat hul sou wou hêandermoet teenoor hulle optree nie?Wysneus sou ook dink dat sulke
jarelange inwoners ‘n liefde vir diedorp en omgewing waarin hullegrootgeword het, sal hê en nie sal wil
hê dat alles slordig lyk en vir almal on-gesond raak nie. Wysneus het al baiegedink dat die area rondom die spuitdeur die dorp só ‘n stukkie natuur tus-sen al die huise is wat eintlik iets mooiis om na te kyk en almal se gemoedsommer kan oopmaak.Wysneus wonder of die mense wat
so rommel strooi honderde kilome-ters ver na allerlei natuurreservate en-oorde ry om te gaan kyk hoe natuurlyk wat nie met rommel bemors is nie.Of dalk is hulle van die mense wat kladat ander plekke skoner as hier by onsis?DieWelverdienders se ondervinding
het Wysneus ook met nuwe oë na vandie rommelhope elders in ons omge-wing laat kyk. Mens dink altyd disslordige mense wat uit slordige erween huise kom wat sulke wandadepleeg. Wie sê diegene wat elders rom-mel strooi is nie ook soosWelverdiendse ‘netjiese varke’ nie?Intussen het Wysneus weer die afge-
lope week gewonder hoe van diemuni-sipaliteit se mense dink dat hulle an-der sal kry om vir hulle te luister. Netin verlede week se koerant sien Wys-neus dat ‘n belangrike man van diemunisipaliteit sommer gearresteer isnadat hy blykbaar mense wat die bur-
gemeester huurgeld skuld, gaan boeliehet. Intussen is daar met die voorafbe-taalde elektrisiteitsmeter in die einstehuis wat aan die burgemeester be-hoort, gepeuter. Maandag ry ‘n kollegavan Wysneus voor die munisipale kan-tore verby toe sy sien dat van diemuni-

Residents of Khutsong Extension 3 is still waitingfor government to deliver on its promises that theywill receive houses. According to two communityleaders inExtension3,MessrsPuleRakamaneandChuku Kerileng from the Khutsong Crisis and De-velopment Resolution Committee, many people inthis area of Khutsong are still waiting for houses.“We have lost count of how many meetings have
been held about this issue. Some people have losthope that theywill ever receive houses,” Rakamanetold the Herald. One of the Extension 3 residentswhohas beenwaiting in vain for a house of her ownis Mrs. Nthabiseng Ncunana (62). Despite the factthat she already applied for a house in 1992, Ncu-nana, her husband and her daughter, who suffersfrom respiratory problems, have had to stay in ashack for the past 24 years.Ncunana’s 24-year-old daughter, Lindiwe, de-
pends on extra oxygen for survival. In summer theheat in the shackmakes life almost unbearable forher and her family. In winter, the rest of the familycannot put on heaters in the cold shack becauseit worsens Lindiwe’s condition.“There are many people who are suffering like
this,” says Kerileng. According to Rakamane andKerileng, communitymembers’ hopeswere recent-ly raised when ward councillors and some officialspromised them during a community meeting andsmall soil turning event on 9 November that thebuilding of houseswouldproceed the next day. Theday for which this progress was promised, lastweekMonday, however brought nothing new.“Theysaid thatmaterial for thenewhouseswouldbedeli-vered to some of the yards where the houses areto be built the next day but nothing happened. Be-cause we are so concerned about what is going on,we decided to go to the provincial government togathermore information.On6October, theprovin-cial government toldus that thebuildingof thehou-ses will only continue next year,” Kerileng told theHerald. “Of the 970 subsidy applications that havebeen submitted for approval to date there are 230subsidy approvals that are available. The depart-ment is currently in a process to appoint a contrac-tor to construct the 230 houses with 50 of the 230planned to be built in this 2014/15 fiscal year bythe 31st of March 2015. The request has gonethrough the department’s bid adjudication com-mittee and is now waiting for the accounting offi-cer’s approval. Beneficiary administration is alsoundertaken since the number of people/familiesthat are residing on serviced stands and are yet toreceive top structures is more than the currentlyapproved 230 beneficiaries,” a copy of theGautengLegislatureReport obtainedby the concernedcom-munity members reads.
As a result of the problems with the houses, thenewspaper sent questions to theMerafong City Lo-cal Municipality about the matter.“Gauteng’s Department of Human Settlement
appointeduVukoCivils for theconstructionofhou-ses in Khutsong Ext 3. On 9 November 2014 thecontractor was introduced to the affected commu-nity. No commitment was made that the work willcommence the next day, namely 10 November2014. The community was informed that the con-tractor will start with the construction of two showhouses on stands identified by community leader-ship. It was further communicated that due to thecompulsory December site closure most of thework will be done in January 2015,” a municipalspokesperson replied to questions on the matteron Tuesday afternoon. “Since this is an in-situ de-velopment project, where the houses will be builtonervenalreadyoccupiedby thecommunity, coun-cil officials and the community leadership are busyconsulting with the owners to create the space ne-cessary for the casting of foundations. The con-struction of the showhouseswill commencebeforemonthendNovember2014andbecompletedbefo-re the compulsory site closure on 12 December2014. The construction of the outstanding unitswill commence in January 2015, depending on theapproval by province. If possible, some of the foun-dations will be cast before month end November2014. “In terms of the dolomite hazard zonation,Khutsong Ext 3 is a Zone 2 area. Zone 2 reflectsa medium susceptibility of large sized sinkholesand subsidence formation (with sub-areas reflec-ting a high susceptibility of medium-to large-sizesinkholes and subsidence formation), with respectto ingress of water and a low susceptibility of all-si-ze sinkhole and subsidence formation (with sub-areas reflecting amediumsusceptibility of large-si-ze sinkhole and subsidence formation), with res-pect to groundwater level drawdown. In the eventthat the groundwater level is drawn down signifi-cantly, (6m or more), the hazard classification willremain unchanged. “In layman’s terms KhutsongExt 3 is developable, provided that the develop-ment complies with SANS 1936, which deals withthemonitoring ofwet services and conducting foot-print drilling. The municipality indicated that itsuspends development in the Khutsong area untilan extensive investigation into the dolomitic condi-tions in the area was completed. This investigationhas now been completed and therefore develop-ment in certain areas can now commence, subjectto the requirements of SANS 1936.“New housing projects are planned in various
areas in Merafong City, but the funding and appro-val of these projects are still outstanding. As appro-val become availablemore informationwill be pro-vided,” the spokesperson indicated.
Still no houses aftermany years

The problems at the R500 road that hasbeencloseddue toasinkhole earlier thisyear, is worse than originally throught.TheR500-road,which linksCarleton-
ville with the N14 main route betweenKrugersdorp and Ventersdorp, hasbeen closed since February after a sink-hole fell in on the one side. Although theroad surface had, at the time, not cavedin, authorities closed off the road becau-se the sinkhole reached underneath theroad surface. Since the time that theR500 was closed, people staying next tothe gravel road, which is used as an al-ternative route for the time of the roadbeing closed, complained that the ex-cess dust from the extra vehicles nowusing the road were making their livesunbearable. Some people also continu-ally kept removing barriers that closedoff the sinkhole road. This has led to se-veral accidents as people who do notknow the area were unsure of whether
they could use the road or not. DAmember of parliament and the constitu-ency head for Merafong, Ms Ina Cilliers,has continually been following the mat-ter up in the provincial legislature as noanswerswereavailableona local or regi-onal level. Although the Gauteng Roadsand Transport MEC Ismail Vadi indica-ted that this department intended to re-pair the road during September andOc-tober, this never happened. On Tues-day, Cilliers again asked questions onthe matter in the provincial legislature.“The MEC confirmed that the situationismuchworse than originally estimatedand that extensive rehabilitation workwill have to be carried out. However, theMEC was unaware that the detour roadhas become impassable due to floodingand showing signs of ground subsiden-ce. The DA has extracted a commitmentfrom theMEC that the road will be fixedwithin six months of the tender beingawarded – which will be advertised thismonth,” Cilliers indicated on Tuesday
afternoon. A councillor living in the areaof the sinkhole road, Ms Judy Rossouw,told theHerald that the condition of thisdetour road has deteriorated majorlyduring the past two weeks as a result ofthe rain that fell in the area. Accordingto Rossouw, farmers staying in the areahave also indicated that the detour roadis build over a previously filled-up sink-hole.To make matters worse, the barriers
closing off the sinkhole road have beenremoved so many times by members ofthe public that the Gauteng Roads De-partment has stopped putting them inplace. Previously this had to be done se-veral times a week.When the Herald visited the site on
Tuesday afternoon, most drivers wereusing the barred-off road next to thesinkhole. Although the barriers havepartially been opened, there were manyother signs in place showing that therewas a sinkhole ahead and that the de-tour road was supposed to be used.
Sinkhole road’s problemsworse than thought
Despite the danger of the deep sinkholemany drivers took the chance to take ashortcut past it.

The Merafong City Local Municipalityrecently discoveredmany illegal electri-cal connections that posed a huge dan-ger to residents.According to a spokesperson for the
municipality,MerafongCity recently an-nounced an amnesty period for resi-dents who tampered with their electri-cal connections to come forward wit-hout prosecution. A large number ofresidents made use of this amnesty.What themunicipality foundwhen wor-king through the list of houses whereeither the tenant or the owner appliedfor amnesty was that not only tampe-ring took place with regard to the me-ters but that various changeswere effec-ted to the internal electrification of thehouses, which poses severe danger tothe residents of those houses.In somecases changes were made to electricalinstallations in houses where the distri-bution boards burned out as a result.The changes were further clearly madeby unqualified people. Apart from the
risk that the houses of citizens whoma-de themselves guilty of these typeof acti-ons can burn down, it must be remem-bered that electrical fires give off toxicsmoke, which can easily claim the livesof the residents in such a house if thefire occurs while people are sleeping.The electrical installations in residenti-al and commercial properties are doneaccording to strict codes which is con-tained in the Electricity Act, 1987 (ActNo 41 of 1987) as amended, the Electri-cal Installation Regulations 2009 asamended, the Occupational Health andSafetyAct, 1993 (ActNo85of1993)andSANS (South African National Stan-dards)10142of2009. In termsofSANS10142 every building with an electricalinstallation must have a Certificate ofCompliance, and a test report, whichmust be issuedby aqualified electricianregistered with the Department of La-bour as a master installation electrici-an, installation electrician or an electri-cal tester for single phase installations.

Electrical tampering can be seen here as the sealed electrical installation is broken. Thisis a non-compliant installation and the first signs of fire hazard is visible on the plug.

Peoplemust be on the lookout fora suspected fraudster who alle-ged that she does research on be-half of the Heralde.According to Ms Dipuo Sega-
kweng (36) from Carletonville,she was at home at 38 KeniteStreet at lunchtime on 17 No-vember when a visitor came toher house claiming to be conduc-ting a survey for the Herald. Thevisitor was an African womanwearing a T-shirt and a denimskirt. Mrs Segakweng’s 14-year-old sonwas present aswell as thehousekeeper and amale relative.She was alarmed when her sontold her that there was an un-known visitor at the house andthat he had let her inside. Thewoman started asking questionssuch as how many people readthe Herald newspaper in thehouse and how the Herald washelping them.Then Mrs Segakweng asked
for an identity card and thestrange woman suggested thatthey should walk to her car. Sheissued a laminated businesscard which had a name of an un-familiar company on it. Whenshe returned to the yard, she be-gan asking suspicious questions
about how many people lived inthe house, if there was a man inthe house and how many chil-dren resided there. She alsowanted to know if therewere peo-ple living in the back room. Shealso asked for the phone num-bers of the husband. Mrs Sega-kweng started to become suspi-cious because after they had spo-ken the stranger moved adistance away and made a priva-te suggested that they should fi-nish the survey at her work pla-ce, but the stranger then said shehad to do it at the house and thenleft.The woman was dark in com-
plexion and had a female passen-ger with her in the silver grey carthat was parked outside theyard. Mrs Segakweng has previ-ously experienced a house break-in in 2011where a personal com-puter, clothes and money wasstolen. She also had her silvergrey Polo stolen in 2013 at the sa-me house. She told the Heraldthat she fears for her family andlife after those incidents. She re-cently had a golf-set stolen fromthe yard a few days after she sawa man fiddling with the gate. Theman ran away when he was con-fronted.

Bejaarde inwoners van Carletonville isvies vir die munisipaliteit na hulle am-perdie grootstedeel van ‘nduisendrandas gevolg van ‘n kassier se fout verloorhet.Volgens mnr. Vic van Winkel en sy
vrou, Marlene, is hulle op 10 Novemberna die Carletonville-kantore van dieMe-rafong City Plaaslike Munisipaliteit omhul munisipale rekening te betaal.Volgens mev. Van Winkel het sy vol-
gens ‘n uitdruk wat ‘n munisipale amp-tenaar haar by die hulptoonbank gegeehet, vasgestel datdie gesinR1009.04virdie afgelopemaandsewater enelektrisi-teit aan die munisipaliteit verskuldig is.Sy is dadelik na ‘n kassier en het aange-dui dat sy die hele uitstaande bedrag wilbetaal.Na sy R1 050 aan die kassier oorhan-
dig het, het hy haar R40 kleingeld gegee.Op pad uit die kontantsaal het mev. VanWinkel na haar strokie gekyk en gesiendat net R110 op die uitstaande rekeninginbetaal is.Na ‘n amptenaar by die hulptoonbank
aanvanklik met haar gestry het, het hyhaar tog na die kassier wat haar gehelphet, terugverwys. Die kassier het op dieou end haar strokie teruggeneem, dieuitstaande geld opdie agterstallige reke-ning inbetaal en ‘n nuwe kwitansie aanhaar uitgereik.“Ons wil net graag andermense, veral
bejaardes, daarvan bewus maak dathulle mooi na hul strokies moet kyk.Ons het na die tyd by Jacob’s Cyclesmet‘n anderman en vrou gepraat wat sê datsulke probleme ‘n gereelde ding is. Hoe-veel oumense kyk nie mooi nie en ver-loor dalk so geld?” het mnr. Van Winkelgewonder.“Die kassier het ‘n fout gemaak deur
R110.00 in plaas van R1 100.00 in te
tik. Hy het sy fout agtergekomna die kli-ent met ‘n afskrif van die kwitansie te-ruggekeerhet.Diemunisipaliteit vra omverskoning vir die fout,” het ‘n munisi-pale woordvoerder Dinsdag by navraaggesê.

Merafongmotorists are advised to be awa-re of a homeless man who stands aroundthe four-way stop between Annan Roadand the R500 road near 007 in Carleton-ville.The man is apparently a mentally dis-
turbed person who suspectedly comesfrom outside South Africa. He continuallygets in the way of drivers especially at traf-fic lights. He walks into oncoming traffic
and puts his life and other people’s livesat risk.When theHerald’s spotted themanrecently he was standing next to the roadfacing an advertising board. A white carstopped next the road and the man appro-ached the car. He then retreated and wentback to where he was standing.He then tried to attack someone who
was taking photographs of him. He shou-ted thewords “Don’t do, don’t do”as hewastrying to hit the photographer with a blan-ket or what seemed lyk a black jacket. Ac-
cording to the police, they cannot do anyt-hing to the man as he has not committeda crime.The Carletonville Police indicated that
the man has to be assisted by the Depart-ment of Social Services and Welfare whodeal with people who have mental pro-blems.The community is also advised to report
the matter to the relevant departments asthey have the authority to remove himfrom the roads.

Die ster junior renjaer van Fochville,Lonika Maartens, gaan binnekorthaar vaardigheid agter die stuurwiel indie Verenigde State beproef.Die 14-jarige Lonika, ‘n gr 8-leerder
van Hoërskool Fochville, is gekies omSuid-Afrika tydens die 2014 Legendswêreldfinaal te verteenwoordig. Die re-sies vind plaas by die InternasionaleRenbaan by Alton in die Amerikaansedeelstaat Virginia. Al die punte wat Lo-nika in Suid-Afrika verwerf het, isdeurgestuur om haar vir deelnameaan die wedren te laat kwalifiseer.Lonika is al ‘n jarelange presteerder
op die renbaan en is ook onder meer‘n ster op die atletiekbaan en krieket-veld. Sy is die afgelope atletiekseisoenas haar skool se Victrix Ludorum enbeste veld- sowel as baanatleet aange-wys en was ook een van die skool setop 10 atlete wat in Pretoria gaan deel-neem het.Sy het saammet Hoërskool Fochvil-
le se o/15A-seuns krieketspan deelge-neem en het haar so goed van haartaak gekwyt dat sy vir die o/19 Noord-wes vroue-krieketspan gekies is. On-gelukkig bots die tyd waarop dié spanse toernooi plaasvind met die wedrenwat in Amerika vir haar wag en kan synie daaraan ook deelneem nie.Lonikawas verder ookdeel vanhaar
skool se eerste tennisspan gewees.Dié jong ster het reeds op sesjarige
ouderdom knortjorre (go-carts) begin
ry. In 2012 was Lonika die jongstevroue-deelnemer in haar klas toe sy indie Formule M-klas begin meedinghet.Sy het haar so goed van haar taak
gekwyt dat sy rekords op die Midvaal-,Zwartkops- en Kyalami renbane opge-stel het. Sy het vanjaar vir die eerste
keer aan die Legends-kompetisie be-gin deelneem en is ook die jongstevroue deelnemer wat in dié wedrennemeeding.Hoewel Lonika as gevolg daarvan
dat sy nog nie 15 jaar oud is nie, elkekeer agter die ander deelnemers moetwegtrek, beklee sy die algehele sewen-
de plek in die reeks. Volgens die jongster is wedrenne in haar bloed. Haarpa, Matty, wat in die V8-reeks jaag, ishaar grootste inspirasie. Haar klein-boet Keogan, wat maar net tien is, hetal verskeie eersteplekke in die “Rook-ie”-klas verwerf. Hy neem aan wedren-ne by die Randfontein ovaalbaan deel.
