Dawid soars to Comrades qualifier at Sedibeng!

Platinum Weekly newspaper | Rustenburg – On Sunday 7 December 2025, the flat roads of the Sedibeng Marathon in Vereeniging witnessed a proud moment for the Run/Walk For Life Rustenburg (RWFL) — when club-athlete Dawid van Dyk smashed the marathon in a Comrades-qualifying time of 4:55:00, accompanied by his training partner Bruno Letarde.

The Sedibeng Marathon — held at the Vaal Showgrounds in Vereeniging — is known for its relatively flat, double-lap route across the Vaal Triangle, making it a popular “last-call” qualifier for runners aiming for the Comrades Marathon.

A Global Triumph for Lebone II College

Platinum Weekly newspaper | Rustenburg – Lebone II College is celebrating a remarkable international achievement after Grade 8 student Onalenna Ramorula brought home not one, but two prestigious titles from an international pageant held in Brazil. Onalenna was crowned Miss Pre-Teen Nations and Miss Pre-Teen Princess of the Sea International 2025.

With another global competition set to take place in Turkey soon, Onalenna remains focused, grounded, and deeply passionate about the purpose behind her pageant journey.

When asked what first drew her into the world of pageantry, Onalenna spoke with maturity beyond her years. “I joined pageantry because I wanted to express myself confidently and inspire other young girls to believe in their dreams,” she shared. “Pageantry gave me a platform to grow, learn, and show that age doesn’t limit your purpose.”

Her love for modelling, leadership, and helping others made pageantry a natural fit — a place where all her passions intersect.

Onalenna’s determination didn’t stop after her first international win. “Winning my first crown showed me what I’m capable of,” she said. “Instead of stopping, it motivated me to push harder, improve myself, and prove that focus can take you even further.” While the first title was an exhilarating dream realised, the second represented progress — a deeper understanding of who she is and what she stands for. “My second title felt like growth. I was more confident and more aware of my purpose.”

Despite her rapid rise, Onalenna remains humble. “I stay humble by remembering where I come from, appreciating everyone who supports me, and understanding that the crown is not just about me — it’s about representing others.”

As the date for her next international competition in Turkey awaits confirmation, one thing is clear: Onalenna Ramorula is not just collecting crowns — she’s building a legacy of confidence, purpose, and empowerment.

Rustenburg shines brighter together

Platinum Weekly newspaper | Rustenburg — This year’s Silwerrand Schools Light Festival didn’t just glow… it blazed with community spirit, joy, and heart. Over five dazzling nights, from 2 to 6 December 2025, thousands stepped into a wonder-world of colour, characters and Christmas cheer — all for a cause that will leave a lasting impact far beyond the festival grounds.

The event burst to life on opening night as families wandered through glowing tunnels, paused for photo ops with storybook royalty, and warmed their hands (and hearts) beside crackling bonfires. “The atmosphere was absolutely magical!” shared festival-goer Madith Sebatana, attending with her granddaughter Barbara van Rooyen. “Events like these truly bring our community together.”

And that spirit of togetherness became the festival’s greatest triumph.

Silwerrand Schools’ school director Charlene Schoeman reflected on the week with gratitude: “It was a massive success. I am very grateful that we could help the children’s home. They let me know that they will be able to get through December 2025 now with enough food. We lost a bit on the first night because of the rain but all in all, it was really fabulous to see the entire Rustenburg community together.” She added a heartfelt message: “Thank you, Rustenburg, for supporting us.”

The festival’s unique entry fee — R20 plus a non-perishable food item — transformed a joyful outing into meaningful charity. Every can, packet and donation contributed directly to Rustenburg Child and Family Welfare.

Along with its purpose, the Light Festival dazzled with creativity: glowing fairy-tale figures, LED-covered vehicles, massive, illuminated structures, and carefully crafted scenes brought an extra sparkle to the Silwerrand Schools grounds. Teachers spent weeks preparing, and their dedication shone through every magical detail.

This year, Rustenburg didn’t just attend a festival. It built one glowing, generous, unforgettable moment — together.
