Die skietdood van Jannie Wildskut (40) en sy vriendin, Alvina Robyn (35), albei van De Doorns, het verlede week skokgolwe deur die gemeenskap gestuur.
In hierdie tragiese voorval blyk dit dat Wildskut, ook bekend as “Jango”, vooraf video-opnames gemaak het waarin hy vertel dat hy homself om die lewe probeer bring. In die laaste van vier video’s kan gesien word hoe ‘n vrou in ‘n pienk kamerjas, vermoedelik Robyn, in ‘n plas bloed lê. Dit kon nie bevestig word hoe die video’s versprei is nie.

Nuus dat 'n Boland-skeidsregter na bewerings sy vriendin doodgeskiet en toe hom om die lewe gebring het, het skokgolwe deur De Doorns gestuur.

‘n Reuse-agterstand bestaan in die druk van bestuurderslisensiekaarte, en van jare se beloftes van ‘n nuwe lisensiekaartdrukker het nog niks gekom nie.
Die burgerregteorganisasie AfriForum het daarom vroeër in September ‘n ten volle werkende lisensiekaartdrukker op die departement van vervoer se voorstoep in Pretoria se middestad demonstreer.

Die oplossing van die reuse-agterstand in die druk van bestuurderslisensiekaarte kán plaaslik opgelos word, glo AfriForum.

Vandag vier ons die 80ste verjaardag van een van Suid-Afrika se mees geliefde teaterikone, die satirikus Pieter-Dirk Uys.
Pieter-Dirk, gebore in Kaapstad op 28 September 1945, het nou 80 jaar oud geword en bly steeds ’n inspirasie. Sy onvergeetlike alter ego Evita Bezuidenhout (wat vanjaar op haar b***t 90 word) is volksbesit en simboliseer die krag van satire om maatskaplkie verandering teweeg te bring.

Vandag vier ons die 80ste verjaarsdag van een van Suid-Afrika se geliefste teaterikone en satirikus, Pieter-Dirk Uys!
