A collaborative exhibition featuring the work of Diane Victor and Oliver Mayhew is set to open as part of the Momentum Aardklop festival lineup. Titled A South African Dream, the exhibition examines the tension between economic hopes and everyday realities across the country. Image: Webpage: Momentum Aardklop Past Exploitation Meets Technological Futures The core promise of the post-apartheid era was straightforward: earn a degree or trade qualification, find steady work, and lift your household out of poverty. Yet with official unemployment sitting above 32% and youth unemployment climbing past 45%, that trajectory has stalled for millions. South Africa finds itself trapped in an economic waiting room, held back by low investor confidence and sluggish growth. A South African Dream brings together two distinct artistic voices to unpack this dilemma: Diane Victor offers a critique grounded in historical labour dynamics, examining how past growth often came at the expense of worker dignity. Oliver Mayhew focuses on the rapid rise of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and automation. The exhibition contrasts these viewpoints to pose a sharp question: how does a nation still struggling with basic infrastructure prepare for high-tech disruption without leaving its workforce further behind? Event Details Exhibition Momentum Aardklop - A South African Dream Artists Diane Victor and Oliver Mayhew Dates 29 September – 3 October 2026 Times 09:00 – 17:00 daily Venue NWU Gallery, Hoffman Street, Potchefstroom Admission Free Work by Diane Victor.

Wanneer Aardklop vanjaar die strate van Potchefstroom laat bruis, is daar een plaaslike rockgroep wat gereed is om die verhoog aan die brand te speel. Die alternatiewe Afrikaanse rockgroep Kerk Straat maak gereed om feesgangers te wys hoekom hulle as een van die opwindendste nuwe name in die bedryf beskou word. Foto(Facebook) : Kerk Straat Die groep, wat bestaan uit Francois Viviers (sanger en ritmekitaar), Christo Franken (baskitaar), Jason Coetsee (hoofkitaar) en Caleb Bediako (tromme), het 'n diep wortel in Potchefstroom self. Die naam "Kerk Straat" kom van die oorspronklike Kerkstraat (nou Walter Sisulu-rylaan) waar Viviers grootgeword het en sy liefde vir musiek saam met sy wyle pa ontdek het. "Ons wil mense herinner hoekom hulle oorspronklik verlief geraak het op Afrikaanse rock en wys dat daardie storie nog lank nie verby is nie.", Kerk Straat Eerlike Musiek Sonder Voorgee In 'n musiekwêreld wat dikwels deur oppervlakkige giere oorheers word, kies Kerk Straat 'n ander pad. Hulle kombineer rou, meesleurende gitaarklanke met eerlike lirieke wat oor die werklikheid van die lewe praat. Feesgangers op Aardklop kan uitsien na 'n vertoning gelaai met energie en veral hul gewilde enkelsnitte: "MK Dae" , 'n Nostalgiese dog skerp snit wat teruggryp na die goue era van Afrikaanse rock waar die "klein ou" 'n stem gehad het. "Val" , 'n Krap-waar-dit-jeuk alternatiewe rocksnit wat reeds 'n gunsteling onder hul aanhangers geword het. "Een Keer" , Nog 'n bewys van hul meesleurende melodieë en sterk verhoogteenwoordigheid. Volg Kerk Straat Spotify : Kliek Hier Facebook : Kliek Hier Moenie dit Misloop Nie Wat Kerk Straat uniek maak, is nie net hul kragtige klank nie, maar ook hul toeganklikheid. Die groep maak 'n punt daarvan om ná hul optredes tyd saam met aanhangers te spandeer en 'n regte konneksie te bou. As jy vanjaar Aardklop besoek en van regte, eerlike Afrikaanse rock hou, is Kerk Straat se optrede op die feesterrein 'n afspraak wat jy beslis op jou rooster moet sit. Kaartjies vir die Aardklop-feesterrein is vooraf beskikbaar via Webtickets, by Pick n Pay-winkels, of by die feeshekke in Potchefstroom.

The Merafong City Local Municipality has issued an official public notice informing residents and local entities of an emergency water supply interruption. The alert, dated 23 July 2026, stems from urgent repair work currently being conducted by bulk water supplier Rand Water on its main E9 pipeline. Failure of E9 Valve Triggers Emergency Repair Operations According to official details released by Rand Water and communicated through the municipality, the emergency intervention was necessitated by a failure of the sluice mechanism within the E9 valve. This mechanical breakdown resulted in an immediate shutdown of the primary water flow through the pipeline. While technical teams have already commenced repair work on site, authorities have confirmed that the exact duration required to complete the valve replacement remains unconfirmed at this stage. Affected Areas and Impact on Bulk Infrastructure The compromised E9 pipeline serves as a vital supply route for the Rand Water Driefontein Reservoir. As water levels within the reservoir continue to decline during the downtime, municipal authorities have cautioned that several key residential communities and mining facilities may experience severe low water pressure or complete supply interruptions. The impacted areas specifically identified in the notice include: Wedela Harmony Mines (including Deelkraal, Kusasalethu, Mponeng, Savuka, Tautona, and No 9 Residence) Mohaleshoek Kokosi Greenspark Fochville Municipal Response and Ongoing Mitigation Measures In light of the interruption, the Merafong City Local Municipality, under the direction of Municipal Manager Dumisani D. Mabuza, has urged all residents and commercial consumers to exercise extreme restraint and use water sparingly. The local government confirmed that it is in continuous communication with Rand Water to monitor progress and stabilize bulk supply. To mitigate future risks and manage current demand, the municipality is actively intensifying local leak detection, enhancing repair efforts, and optimizing distribution networks to reduce system losses. The administration expressed its apologies for the inconvenience caused while work continues to fully restore service. #MerafongCity #RandWater #WaterInterruption #Fochville 🚰⚠️🛠️🚨

As iemand al ooit gewonder het hoe dit voel om gelyktydig van jou ma te probeer wegloop en hals oor kop verlief te raak, is daar goeie nuus. Die bekende treffer-komedie Butterflies Are Free het ’n vars Afrikaanse baadjie gekry, en dit beloof om gehore behoorlik te laat giggel. Waaroor gaan die storie? Die produksie vertel die storie van Daan Bekker, ’n 19-jarige blinde ou wat besluit het Kaapstad toe is die ideale plek om sy eie voete te vind. Hy wil eintlik ’n sangloopbaan naestreef, maar die eintlike rede vir die trek is sy ma. Mevrou Bekker is die definisie van ’n "helicopter parent" en ’n absolute beheervraat. Daan wil net onder haar vlerk uit. Dinge raak baie vinnig baie interessant as sy nuwe buurvrou, Griet, in die prentjie verskyn. Griet is ’n vrye gees en voor die eerste koffie koud is, is die twee smoorverlief. Maar net toe Daan dink hy wen die lottery van die lewe, daag sy ma op. Sy het ’n belofte verbreek omdat sy te bekommerd was, en sy is glad nie impressed met Daan se nuwe leefstyl of sy nuwe meisie nie. Daan moet skielik veg vir sy onafhanklikheid en sy love life. Die mense agter die skerms Hierdie skreeusnaakse produksie spog met top-talent. Die bekende Cindy Swanepoel, Heinrich Wentzel, Jeanne-Marié Koekemoer en Geon Nel is op die verhoog te sien. Die teks is oorspronklik deur Leonard Gershe geskryf, maar Wessel Pretorius het die verwerking en regie behartig. Marie Vogts hou alles in plek as produksiebestuurder. Die stuk is moontlik gemaak deur Momentum Aardklop en die Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees. Gimmies, reëls en die fynskrif Die vertoning is ’n lekker ligte komedie van 90 minute lank. Hou net in gedagte dat daar ’n ouderdomsbeperking van "Geen o. 14 (T/V)" is, so los die jonger kinders maar eerder by die huis. Die venue is die Gimmies-saal, geleë te Molenstraat 20, op die Bult in Potchefstroom.

July has been an extraordinary month for Paws Haven. Between reaching exciting community milestones, celebrating a historic Mandela Week, and introducing a fresh lineup of precious rescue animals ready for adoption, the shelter is buzzing with hope, hard work, and endless gratitude. Here is a look back at the incredible moments from the past week, and a preview of the newest furry faces waiting for their forever homes! Expanding the Paws Haven Community To kick off the week's updates, Paws Haven officially announced the launch of their brand-new Instagram page. Social media plays a massive role in saving lives, as every share, like, and follow increases the chances of a rescue pet finding a family. By following their new Instagram community, supporters can look forward to: Heartwarming adoption stories and updates on available pets. Behind-the-scenes rescue journeys and happy endings. Announcements for upcoming shelter events and community campaigns. Practical ways to get involved and support the shelter’s mission. A Mandela Week to Remember: 14 Lives Changed! Mandela Day (18 July) proved to be an overwhelming success thanks to the incredible generosity of the Potchefstroom community and beyond. From donating bags of food, blankets, and cleaning supplies to sponsoring individual animals for R67, shopping at the Mom's Closet sale, buying eggs, or volunteering time, supporters showed up in full force. The most inspiring milestone of all? Fourteen animals found their forever homes during Mandela Week alone! Fourteen deserving pets traded shelter kennels for warm beds, loving hands, and dedicated families. Beyond changing those 14 lives, every adoption freed up crucial space at Paws Haven, allowing the team to rescue more animals in urgent need. The funds and momentum generated during the week will also go toward Paws Haven's ongoing mass sterilisation project, aimed at reducing unwanted litters in the local community.

It is what difference we have made to the lives of others."— Nelson Mandela While Mandela Week was a massive triumph, the shelter reminds everyone that the need never truly stops. Food, medicine, cleaning supplies, and daily care are required 365 days a year, and ongoing support remains vital to keeping the shelter gates open. Meet the Newest Rescues Looking for Forever Homes!
