Die bejaarde inwoners van die SAVF Maroela-oord in Lephalale gaan elke maand tot en met Desember ‘n verassingsgeskenkie van hulle “spook” ontvang. Lede van die gemeenskap neem as te ware ‘n inwoner aan en bederf hulle elke maand met ‘n geskenkie.

Die Piet Potgieter Monument Ouetehuis het Woensdag ‘n Lentetee vir sy inwoners aangebied en sommer die geleentheid gebruik om Loslitdag te vier. Hier kuier die tannies kloksgewys om die tafel: Cathy Dames, Bets Prinsloo, tehuispersoneellede Violet Lebelo wat spog met haar bont pruik en Suster Miempie van Waveren met haar vrolike July-hoed vir Loslitdag, Kotie le Roux, Dalene Basson en Marian Vos.

EXXARO Resources received R601 million from Eskom in the six months leading up to the end of June for coal the parastatal had contracted to buy for its new Medupi power station, but could not receive due to delays in the building of Medupi, BDLive reported on Thursday.

Só roep ‘n mens die somer nader! Susan Otto, Wilien Bezuidenhout, Johané Bezuidenhout, Jonathan Brink, Johan Bezuidenhout, Francois Pretorius en Dolla Költzow almal van Lephalale, het Saterdag van die heerlike sonskynweer gebruik gemaak om met hulle vierwielfietse die Mogolrivier te verken.

Die Mokopane Sakekamer se president, Gerrit van der Veen, is gekies as stigtingsvoorsitter van die Afrikaanse Handels Instituut (AHI) se nuwe tak in Limpopo.

The announcement last Thursday that a third coal-fired power station has been approved by cabinet has been met with strong resistance from environmental activists.

In a bid to improve policing, prevent crime and to enhance the consultation process between police and the public the South African Police has embarked on a nationwide project to establish street committees throughout the country. Northern News spoke to acting Mokopane station commander, Lt.Col. Isaac Mantjane to find out more about the project.

Undercover agents of Molalatau Security’s task force apprehended four suspects on Tuesday afternoon when they tried to sell marijuana at the Onverwacht Business Centre. The suspects were arrested right in front of Northern News offices. Police officers were quick on the scene to escort the suspects to the police station. A fifth suspect got away and was almost run over by a car when he ran across a busy Walter Sisulu Street and jumped a wall to evade arrest. This was the task team’s second success for the day after they arrested suspected copper thieves earlier that day.

“Dis ’n ver­skrik­like tra­ge­die. Hier­die plaas sal sonder die twee dog­ter­tjies nooit weer die­selfde wees nie. Niks sal Bobo se plek vul nie en sy was die rede waar­om my klein­kind hier kom kuier het.”

Working at Platreef Resources’ planned platinum mine just outside Mokopane will be like working in Sandton City’s underground parking area as opposed to working underneath a table.

Toe die Piet Potgieter Monument Tehuis vir Pastoor Richard Vigus van die AGS kerk in Mokopane nader met die versoek om aan hulle bakhuis identiteit te gee, het die bestuur dalk die woord ‘Bakhuis’ bokant die deur in gedagte gehad. Maar hy het sommer dadelik begin dink hoe ‘n mens dit van veraf op ‘n meer kreatiewe manier duidelik kan maak wat in dié gebou aangaan. Sy muurskildery bokant die deur maak ‘n mens met die eerste oogopslag sommer lus vir varsgebak.
