Rustenburg sisters ready to shine in Brazil!

Platinum Weekly newspaper | Rustenburg – Talented Rustenburg sisters Naledi and Remofilwe Khunou are preparing to carry South Africa’s flag proudly on the international modelling stage. Naledi (15), Teen Miss Nations SA 2026, and Remofilwe (8), Little Miss Nations SA 2026, will travel to Brazil on 21 September 2026 to compete in the Miss Nations pageant against contestants from several countries, including Brazil, Russia and Ukraine. The sisters earned their national titles after competing in Little Model Earth on 13 March 2026. They represent Globe Model Look (GML) and are coached by its owner, Lizelle Jacobs. Both young models have already built impressive résumés. Naledi was crowned GML Supreme Queen 2025 and Model of the Year Overall 2025.

More than clean-ups:
action that changes Rustenburg

Platinum Weekly newspaper | Rustenburg – Our Ward Matters (OWM) continued its work across Rustenburg this past week, addressing overgrown vegetation, litter, illegal dumping and public-safety concerns while encouraging residents to take pride in their surroundings.

Founded by Ward 15 councillor André van Dyk and led by Cllr Van Dyk and Cllr Tanya Rothman, the initiative remains active in Wards 15, 16 and 17.

Residents’ concerns investigated
On Wednesday 2 September 2026, Cllr Van Dyk visited Boven Street after residents asked him to investigate several longstanding concerns.

These include allegations of businesses trading without the required permits, further businesses opening in the area, illegal dumping and a growing informal settlement in the bushes near the Helen Joseph Drive bridge. Residents also raised safety concerns and questioned what permission had been granted for commercial activities at the site.

The concerns will be reported and escalated to the relevant authorities. According to Van Dyk, the visit demonstrated that Our Ward Matters does far more than clean-ups – it listens to residents, investigates complaints and works to ensure that problems receive attention.

Signs of positive change
On Tuesday 1 September, the Ward 15 team worked in Protea Park, concentrating on Mispel Avenue, surrounding streets and the area near Laerskool Protea Park towards Wildevy Centre. The team removed rust, prepared and repainted 42 road and street signs – with one group completing 26 signs and another restoring 16.
Damaged, faded or missing signs are more than an eyesore. They can create safety risks for motorists, emergency services and visitors who depend on clear street identification. While working, the team also identified and reported other matters requiring municipal attention.

Cleaning where it counts
On Wednesday and Thursday, 2 and 3 September, the team continued its work in Azaleapark, Selly Park and along Helen Joseph Drive towards Robin Avenue. Overgrown grass was cut along Langeberg Avenue and towards Kougaberg, improving visibility and reducing the risk of veld fires. Near Laerskool Selly Park, the team cleaned a stormwater drain, removed grass growing into the road and collected more than 40 bags of rubbish.

Potholes and mud along Drakensberg Avenue following the rain were also identified for reporting. The initiative thanked the RLM Waste Department for working alongside its volunteers.

Consistency creates change
For almost five years, Our Ward Matters has continued showing up week after week. What began with one clean street has grown into a community movement operating across three wards. The team cuts grass, clears overgrown areas, removes litter and illegal dumping, cleans stormwater drains and helps improve safety and visibility. Its vision is now to reach even more areas of Rustenburg – but community support is essential.

Residents, businesses, churches, organisations, petrol stations and garages are invited to assist with petrol, equipment, refuse bags, brushcutter line, maintenance or financial contributions.

“Don’t stand on the sidelines waiting for someone else to make Rustenburg better. Get involved, take ownership and become part of the solution.”

Confirm the driver, vehicle and registration details before getting in.
Where possible, pay electronically in advance to prevent unnecessary confrontations.

Scholar transport driver jailed for eight years for r**e

Platinum Weekly newspaper | Rustenburg – The Bafokeng Regional Court in Tlhabane sentenced 31-year-old scholar transport driver Odirile Modise to eight years’ direct imprisonment on Thursday, 27 August 2026, after finding him guilty of ra**ng his girlfriend.

According to police spokesperson warrant officer Ofentse Mokgadi, the offence took place in Tlhabane on 11 November 2023. Modise asked his girlfriend to have s*x with him, but she refused and told him she was tired. Despite her refusal, he proceeded without her consent.

The victim reported the incident to the police, leading to Modise’s arrest. He was released on bail and remained on bail until sentencing. In addition to the prison term, Modise was declared unfit to possess a firearm and prohibited from working with children. The court noted that he had pleaded not guilty and shown no remorse.

Acting district commissioner brigadier Mamotsamai Ntoagae welcomed the sentence and commended investigating officer detective warrant officer Christopher Maimela and prosecutor advocate Zola Mpayipheli for ensuring that justice was served.

“No means no. Every person has the right to decide whether or not to engage in s*xual activity, regardless of their relationship with the other person,” brigadier Ntoagae said.

South Africa Vs New Zeeland

2026 Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Tour

Saterdag 5 September

FNB-stadion, Soweto
Op ’n ysig koue dag in Soweto was die Bokke allesbehalwe koud. Hulle het witwarm rugby gespeel en die Kiwi’s met 29-24 geklop in ’n epiese stryd tussen twee rugbyreuse. Bykans 88,000 fanatiese ondersteuners was singend deel van dié riller. Die All Blacks kon weer nie die mas in die skrums opkom nie – maar die vraag is nou: Wie kan staande bly teen die groen monsters?

Die laaste wedstryd vind op Saterdag 12 September in Baltimore, VSA, plaas. Afskop is om 23:00 Suid-Afrikaanse tyd. Die toets sal beslis of die reeks gelykop eindig en of die Bokke met 3-1 triomfeer.

Verskeie sleutelspelers in albei kampe is beseer, en die All Blacks sal sonder hul beseerde kaptein, Ardie Savea, moet uitdraf.
