The city of Potchefstroom has long been a cradle for sporting and academic excellence, but today, the spotlight shines on the checkered board. Dewald Coetsee, a local chess prodigy and Grade 12 student, has officially been crowned the 2026 U/18 Junior Chess Champion of South Africa. This prestigious title has earned him an invitation to represent the nation at the FIDE World Youth Chess Championship 2026 in Montesilvano, Italy, this June. A Journey Defined by Strategy and Passion Dewald’s journey began in Grade R after a simple demonstration by Chris Greyling sparked a lifelong obsession. Though told by his parents to wait until Grade 1, his enthusiasm never wavered. Under the mentorship of local coach Johan Steenkamp, Dewald’s talent flourished. By Grade 4, he had already dominated the Kenneth Kaunda region, necessitating a move to the highly competitive Tshwane region in Pretoria to find opponents who could match his growing skill. His rise through the ranks has been consistent and impressive: 2021:  Secured 3rd place in the Online SA Junior Closed Chess Championships. 2023:  Earned his Protea Colors and competed in the World Youth Rapid and Blitz tournament in Greece. 2024:  Represented South Africa in the U/16 World Olympiads in the Netherlands. 2026:  Achieved the ultimate national honor by taking 1st place in the U/18 Open division at the SAJCCC in Rustenburg. The Challenge Beyond the Board While Dewald has mastered the complexities of the Sicilian Defense and endgame theory, he now faces a challenge that cannot be solved with a clever gambit: funding. Despite being an official representative of South Africa, the lack of available state funding for Chess SA means that the financial burden of international travel, accommodation, and tournament fees falls entirely on the player and his family. As Dewald prepares to conclude his junior chess career on this incredible high note, his family is reaching out to the Potchefstroom community and local businesses. This trip to Italy from June 14–27 is a rare opportunity for a local talent to pit his wits against the best in the world, carrying the hopes of a nation with him. How the Community Can Support The goal is to ensure that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a national champion’s dreams. Every contribution, whether from a private individual or a corporate sponsor, goes directly toward making this international representation possible.

The Hong Kong Sevens has long been described as the "pinnacle" of global rugby sevens, a three-day carnival of elite athleticism, neon-lit partying, and sporting legend. As the tournament celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2026, the stakes felt higher than ever. For the Blitzboks, the event carried a heavy historical burden. Despite having won nearly every trophy available in the international game, including World Series titles and Commonwealth Gold, the cup in Hong Kong had remained stubbornly out of reach. That narrative changed irrevocably this weekend. In a tournament defined by dramatic swings of fortune, the Blitzboks transformed from "day-one disasters" into clinical champions, dismantling Argentina 35–7 in a final that will be remembered as a masterclass in tactical rugby. Image: Blitzboks The Day One Crisis: Spain Stuns the South Africans The Blitzboks’ campaign began not with a bang, but with a whimper that threatened to derail their season. After a workmanlike 12–7 victory over Uruguay, the South Africans faced a Spanish side that arrived on a six-game losing streak against them. What followed was a result that sent shockwaves through the newly inaugurated $3.85 billion Kai Tak Stadium . Spain produced a performance for the ages, capitalising on a slew of uncharacteristic South African errors to lead 14–0 at the interval. Tobias Sainz-Trapaga and Eduardo Lopez each crossed the whitewash twice, while Jeremy Trevithick put the finishing touches on a 31–12 rout. For the Blitzboks, it was statistically their worst performance of the year. The "Hong Kong Curse", a legendary hex that had seen South African teams fail in four previous finals, seemed more potent than ever. Image: Blitzboks The Resilience of Champions: The Saturday Fightback The shock of the Spanish defeat necessitated a total mental reset. Coach Philip Snyman , the architect of the Blitzboks' resurgence over the last 24 months, was tasked with guiding his team through a "must-win" Saturday morning. Their opponent was Argentina, a team that had looked invincible on day one with massive wins over Uruguay and Spain. In the early hours of Saturday, the Blitzboks delivered a response that defined their championship pedigree. They didn't just beat Argentina; they dismantled them 38–0. Veteran Ryan Oosthuizen ignited the fire, stealing lineout ball and facilitating a brace of tries for Sebastian Jobb and Tristan Leyds. A red card for Argentina’s Martiano Arrieta, following a dangerous tackle on Zane Davids, further opened the gates. By the time Shilton van Wyk crossed in the second half, the Blitzboks had not only qualified for the quarterfinals but had remarkably topped their pool on points difference. Knockout Drama: Heartbreak for Kenya, Despair for the All Blacks The quarterfinals provided the tournament’s most heart-stopping moment. Facing a powerful Kenyan "Shujaa" side, the Blitzboks found themselves trailing 22–14 with less than two minutes remaining. Kenya’s physical dominance suggested another early exit for South Africa. However, the depth of the Blitzbok bench proved decisive. Quewin Nortje , returning from a long-term injury, used his blistering pace to score a solo effort that brought the side within one point. Then, in the final play of the game, 10-year veteran Shakes Soyizwapi , who made his debut in Hong Kong in 2016, crossed the line to break Kenyan hearts and secure a 26–22 win. The semifinal saw a more measured approach against the All Black Sevens. While New Zealand is often the gold standard of the circuit, they were no match for the Blitzboks' defensive pressure. Sebastian Jobb and Tristan Leyds combined for a long-range counter-attack score that set the tone. By the time Ryan Oosthuizen scored to make it 26–0, the result was beyond doubt. Even two late consolation tries from the All Blacks couldn't dampen the feeling that history was beckoning. Image: Blitzboks The Grand Finale: Breaking the Hoodoo The final was a rematch against Argentina, the defending Hong Kong champions. Despite the 38–0 pool stage result, Los Pumas were expected to provide a much stiffer challenge with a trophy on the line. The match began as a tactical chess game. Tristan Leyds , eventually named Player of the Final, broke the deadlock with a clever chip-and-chase. Argentina responded through Santino Zagara, but it was to be their only highlight. Selvyn Davids, the orchestrator of the South African attack, regained the lead with a jinking run before the half. In the second half, the Blitzboks' tactical kicking game completely neutralized the Argentinian defense. Shilton van Wyk pounced on a loose ball to set up Ryan Oosthuizen, and Leyds once again turned provider for Van Wyk to put the game out of reach. The 35–7 scoreline was an emphatic statement: the hoodoo was dead. Image: Blitzboks Springbok Women: A Tough Learning Curve While the men celebrated historic gold, the Springbok Women’s Sevens team faced a challenging weekend against the circuit's "core" powerhouses. The gap in professional experience was evident early on as they suffered heavy defeats to Australia (33–0) and Canada (31–0). There was a glimmer of hope on day two when the women secured a hard-fought 19–5 victory over Great Britain, highlighted by a brace from Maria Tshiremba  and a strong performance from Lerato Makua . However, they were unable to replicate that form in the ninth-place semifinal, falling 19–14 to the same British side in a reversal of fortunes. The team eventually moved to the 11th-place playoff against Argentina, continuing their journey of adaptation to the high-intensity World SVNS Series. The 50th Anniversary: A New Era at Kai Tak This year’s tournament was more than just a series of matches; it was a celebration of five decades of rugby history. World Rugby Chair Brett Robinson noted that the Hong Kong Sevens remains the "jewel in the crown" of the sport, citing its role in returning rugby to the Olympics. The move to the new 50,000-seat Kai Tak Stadium marked a transition from the nostalgic, mud-caked days of 1976 to a futuristic, high-tech era. With 24 changing rooms and a retractable roof, the venue provided the perfect stage for the Blitzboks to surpass the legendary 1997 South African team, which featured icons like Joost van der Westhuizen—by finally claiming the title that eluded their predecessors. Image: World Rugby Sevens A Golden Future and the Road to France With this victory, the Blitzboks have won four consecutive tournaments (Perth, Vancouver, New York, and Hong Kong) and sit comfortably at the top of the World Championship standings. For Coach Philip Snyman, the win is the culmination of a 24-month turnaround that has already yielded an Olympic Bronze and a World Series lead. The focus now shifts to the final stretch of the season. Following this historic weekend, the series moves to Valladolid, Spain (29–31 May)  for the penultimate round before the grand finale. The season will reach its ultimate crescendo at the World Rugby SVNS World Championship in Bordeaux, France (5–7 June) , where the Blitzboks will look to crown their historic year by officially being named World Champions. #Blitzboks #HongKong7s #RugbySevens #Champions 🇿🇦🏆🏉🔥

The Agricultural College Ground was a hive of activity this past Sunday as the highly anticipated “Africa Is One” tournament brought local football fans together for a day of high-stakes competition. The standout performance of the day belonged to Kayo Stars, who delivered a clinical 5-0 masterclass against a struggling Merafong Ladies side. From the opening whistle, Kayo Stars asserted their dominance, utilizing the wide spaces of the Agricultural College pitch to stretch the Merafong defense. The victory was headlined by a sensational individual performance from Karabo, whose clinical finishing earned her a well-deserved hat-trick. Match Highlights Kayo Stars' attacking prowess was too much for the opposition to handle. While Karabo took home the match ball, the team's depth was on full display with contributions from across the front line: Karabo: 3 goals (Hat-trick) Nomvula: 1 goal Tshego Motsorogane: 1 goal Tournament Atmosphere The "Africa Is One" tournament served as more than just a series of matches; it was a community gathering that spotlighted the growth of women's football in the region. Despite the lopsided scoreline, Merafong Ladies showed flashes of resilience, though they were ultimately undone by the speed and precision of the Kayo Stars' counter-attack. As the tournament progresses, Kayo Stars have firmly established themselves as the team to beat, leaving fans eager to see if they can maintain this "five-star" momentum in the coming weeks. Full-Time Result: Kayo Stars 5 – 0 Merafong Ladies

Goudkoppie Heritage Hill serves as a Grade II Provincial Heritage Site that encapsulates a staggering two million years of human history. It is a rare "stratigraphic palimpsest", a place where layers of geological formation, ancient hominid survival, colonial expansion, and industrial warfare are all etched into a single topographical feature. Graffiti from the South African War at Goudkoppie Hill - Heritage portal I. Deep Time: The Lithic and Geological Foundation The hill is part of the Timeball Hill Formation  (Pretoria Group), shaped billions of years ago by the Rietfontein wrench fault system. This geological genesis created the epigenetic gold deposits that would dictate the region’s destiny. Archaeological evidence indicates that Goudkoppie has been a "persistent place" for humanity: Early Stone Age (~2,000,000 years ago):  Crude lithic tools and handaxes represent the earliest hominid presence north of the Vaal River. Late Stone Age (~10,000 - 2,000 years ago):  The Khoesan people  left a spiritual record through petroglyphs  (rock engravings) depicting ritualistic life. Domestic Indicators:  Refuse middens and fire pits suggest stable, prolonged settlements where inhabitants managed resources through hunting and herding. II. The Pioneer Era: Voortrekkers and the Schoonspruit In 1837/1838 , the first Voortrekker pioneers, led by Hendrik Grobler , settled along the Schoonspruit ("Clear Stream"). This established Klerksdorp as the oldest European settlement in the former Transvaal. Key Administrative Milestones: 1830s:  Appointment of Jacob de Clercq , the first landdrost and namesake of the town. 1859:  President M.W. Pretorius formalized town governance. 1865:  James Taylor and Thomas Leask opened a trading store, making the town a regional economic hub. Engineering:  The pioneers built a 12-kilometer irrigation canal system, an agrarian feat that later supported the water-intensive mining industry. III. The Alchemy of Gold: From Diggers to Corporations Gold was detected near Goudkoppie in November 1885 , triggering a "champagne-soaked" boom. By 1888, the town had its own Stock Exchange, briefly rivaling international financial centers. The Mining Evolution: The Alluvial Phase:  Early miners used pans and stamp mills to extract gold from surface quartz reefs (reaching grades of 26g/t). The Great Slump:  Deeper "pyritic" ore, chemically bonded with sulfur, resisted traditional mercury extraction. The Scientific Rescue (1890):  The introduction of the MacArthur-Forrest Cyanide Process  allowed gold to be extracted from pyritic rock, birthing "Big Business." Corporate Domination (1933):  Anglo American and other houses pushed shafts to depths of five kilometers, eventually discovering uranium as a strategic byproduct. IV. Militarized Topography: The Anglo-Boer War During the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902) , Goudkoppie was repurposed as a British military hub to protect the N12 "Treasure Route" and the railway. The Blockhouse System: Masonry Blockhouses:  Multi-story stone structures costing up to £1,000. Rice Blockhouses:  Prefabricated "double-skinned" corrugated iron structures filled with shingle, which could be erected in six hours. Defense:  The hill was reinforced with sangers  (stone walls), barbed wire entanglements, and chemical tripwire alarms. Human Archive:  Soldiers left "war graffiti" and regimental emblems etched into the rocks, which remain visible today. V. The Institutional Guardian: Klerksdorp Museum The Klerksdorp Museum  (housed in the Old Gaol , built in 1891) acts as the custodian of this memory. It manages a diverse portfolio, from the "Klerksdorp spheres" (natural geological concretions) to the history of its most famous son, Archbishop Desmond Tutu  (born in 1931). Program/Exhibit Focus Area Impact Anglo-Boer War Gallery POW Art Humanizes the conflict. Blacksmithing Course Traditional Metallurgy Preserves heritage skills. Khoesan Exhibition Rock Engravings De-centers the colonial narrative. VI. The Endangered Frontier: Modern Crisis Goudkoppie was nominated as one of South Africa’s Top 10 Endangered Heritage Sites  in 2017. The primary threat is the influx of Zama-Zamas  (illegal miners). Vandalism:  Illegal miners occupy 19th-century shafts and the replica blockhouse, washing gold-rich soil on heritage grounds. Infrastructure Failure:  Stolen perimeter fences and a lack of the R10 million  required for high-security fencing have left the site vulnerable. Socio-Economic Link:  Since 1996, 80% of the formal mining workforce has been retrenched, driving the "ghost economy" that currently threatens the hill. #PrehistoricMatlosana #KhoesanArt #GoldMiningHistory #BoerWarHeritage #SaveGoudkoppie #MatlosanaRenewal #SouthAfricanHistory

The Crater Cruise returns to the cycling calendar on 14 June 2026, marking a shift in status as the event incorporates the South African XCGravel Championships. Hosted at the Koedoeslaagte Trail Park, the race follows rural and off-the-grid roads along the Vaal River within the UNESCO Vredefort Crater. A Return to Gravel Roots First established in 2004, the Crater Cruise originally gained a reputation as the primary battleground between road cyclists and mountain bikers. Over the years, the organisers adapted the event into a hybrid mountain bike format. However, in June 2025, the decision was made to strip back the event to the dedicated gravel road race format it originally occupied. The 2026 edition continues this focus, now with championship stakes. Race Distances and Costs The event offers three distinct distance categories. Riders licenced in coastal provinces—specifically the Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, and KwaZulu-Natal—are eligible for a discount on entry fees. Category Distance Elevation Gain Entry Fee (Full) Full-Cruise 155km 1250m R900.00 Crater Cruise 115km 1125m R800.00 Crater Cruise 50km 596m R450.00 Note: The 155km and 115km routes are restricted to riders U/19 and older; the 50km route is restricted to riders U/15 and older. Championship Regulations Because this event serves as the SA XCGravel Championships, the organisers have implemented specific regulations for 2026: Status: It is an open event, allowing international participants, though podiums will be separated between overall and SA Championship results. Licensing: All championship category participants must possess an active CyclingSA membership (CSA ID). Social riders require a membership or must purchase a day-license upon entry. Elite riders must hold a full UCI Racing License. Equipment: Flat-handlebar mountain bikes are permitted, but Elite men and women must compete with drop-handlebar configurations. Time-trial bars are prohibited. E-bikes are permitted exclusively in the 50km category. Support: No team support vehicles are allowed on the route. Technical and support stations are available at specific waterpoints on the 155km and 115km routes. These stations are accessible via tar roads, meaning support crews do not need to enter the race route itself. Route Recce Riders wishing to preview the course may visit Koedoeslaagte Trail Park on weekdays or weekends. Access to the park requires an entry fee of R50 per adult and R25 per child. The organisers have noted that single and jeep-track route links are marked, though riders are reminded that these sections cross private land and should be treated with care. Registration Entries are now open for all categories. Interested participants can register via the official event portal here . For further information regarding the race or to view the GPX files, participants can visit the official race website or contact the organisers via email at attie.koekies@gmail.com.

Die sportvelde van Potchefstroom Gimnasium (Gimmies) was die afgelope naweek 'n miernes van aktiwiteit en spangees tydens die strawwe kompetisie teen Hoërskool Duineveld. Gimmies het weereens bewys waarom hulle as 'n sportkragbron in die streek beskou word, met uitstekende resultate oor die hele spektrum van rugby, netbal en hokkie. Foto: Potchefstroom Gimnasium Rugby: Onoorwonne op die Hoofveld Die Gimmie-rugbyspanne het 'n byna perfekte rekord gehandhaaf. Die o.14A-span  het die toon aangegee met 'n skitterende 54–0 oorwinning, terwyl die o.19A-span (Eerstes)  in 'n opwindende kragmeting met 38–26 as oorwinnaars uit die stryd getree het. Die diepte van die rugby-akademie is verder beklemtoon deur die o.19B en o.19C spanne wat albei hul wedstryde gewen het, terwyl die o.14B en o.15B spanne karakter getoon het deur gelykopuitslae af te dwing. Netbal: Naelskraap-oorwinnings en Intense Kompetisie Op die netbalbane was die kompetisie vurig. Die Eerstespan  het die toeskouers op die punte van hul stoele gehou met 'n naelskraap-oorwinning van 39–38 teen Duineveld. Ander hoogtepunte sluit in die o.14A (33–15) en o.16A (27–13) spanne wat oortuigende seges behaal het. Ten spyte van 'n paar uitdagende wedstryde vir die junior C-spanne en die tweede span, het die Gimmies se algehele deursettingsvermoë koning gekraai. Hokkie: 'n Doelfees op die Astro Die hokkiestokke het behoorlik geklap met beide die seuns- en dogterspanne wat die doelhokke laat rittel het: Dogtershokkie:  Die o.14A, o.15A en Eerstespan het absolute oorheersing getoon met onderskeidelik 10–0, 10–0 en 8–0 oorwinnings. Die 2de span het ook 'n skoon blad gehou met 'n 5–0 sege. Seunshokkie:  Die seuns het die momentum behou met die Eerstespan wat 5–1 gewen het en die o.16A-span wat met 'n reuse 7–0 oorwinning van die veld gestap het. Gimmie-Gees en Sportmanskap Die skoolbestuur het hul trots uitgespreek oor die "ware guts" en toewyding wat elke speler getoon het. Daar is ook spesiale dank betuig aan die borge—insluitend Fairtree, Brocor, Discovery en FNB—asook die Gimmie-sport Ondersteunersklub (GSOK) vir hul deurlopende ondersteuning. Bo en behalwe die uitslae, is Hoërskool Duineveld geprys vir hul uitstekende sportmanskap en die gesonde kompetisie wat hulle gebied het.

Dit voel seker vir baie mense in Potchefstroom soos gister toe hulle in 1996 die skoolhekke van Volkskool vir die laaste keer as leerders agter hulle toegegooi het. Nou, dertig jaar later, is dit tyd om weer bymekaar te kom, herinneringe uit te ruil en te kyk hoe baie (of hoe min) almal verander het. Die Klas van 1996 se reünie vind op 23 Mei 2026 plaas en dit beloof om 'n dag van nostalgie en goeie kuier te wees. Die dag se program Die reünie skop vroeg af by die skool self. Die oud-leerders gaan die dag saam deurbring by die bekende Volkie vs Gimmie sportdag. Dit is die ideale geleentheid om weer daardie ou skoolgees te voel en te kyk of die mededingende gees nog in die bloed is. Wanneer die son begin sak, skuif die groep aan na die Volkies Wildsfees. Dit is waar die regte kuiersessie gaan plaasvind. Die organiseerders het drie Lapa’s bespreek, wat beteken daar is plek vir 30 mense per Lapa. Dit gaan lekker intiem wees, so dit is raadsaam om nie te lank te wag om 'n plek te bespreek nie, want kaartjies is beperk. Wat om te verwag Die spyskaart klink na 'n ware Suid-Afrikaanse feesmaal. Gaste kan uitsien na sosaties, wildswors, en natuurlike potbrood met konfyt en botter. Daar is ook twee slaaie, sjerrie en natuurlik nagereg vir die soettande. Daar is egter 'n paar belangrike reëls vir die aand wat gaste moet onthou: Daar is geen kontantkroeg nie, so bring jou eie drinkgoed saam. Gaste moet hulle eie eetgerei en glase saambring. Omdat ons almal nou dertig jaar ouer is as in 1996, is dit dalk 'n goeie idee om jou eie gemaklike stoel saam te bring. Hoe om deel te wees Die reünie kos R300 per persoon. Kinders onder 6 jaar kom gratis saam. Dit is 'n uitstekende manier om die goeie ou dae te herleef en dalk selfs 'n paar nuwe herinneringe te maak. Die reünie vind plaas by Kruisstraat 41, Potchefstroom. Vir meer inligting te kry, stuur 'n e-pos na volkiesmatrieks1996@gmail.com . Kry Jou kaartjie by Quicket Dit is 'n eenmalige geleentheid om weer bande te smee met ou skoolmaats. Sorg dat jy daar is.

The Proteas continued their clinical run in the T20I series, securing a comprehensive eight-wicket victory in the second encounter. This result grants the home side an unbeatable 2-0  lead in the series, following another disciplined performance with both bat and ball. Image: Cricket South Africa Clinical Execution and Series Dominance The South African national team maintained the momentum from the opening match, outclassing their opponents in all facets of the game. The bowlers set the tone early by restricting the run rate and taking crucial wickets at pivotal moments. This solid platform allowed the batsmen to chase the target with confidence, resulting in a swift and efficient victory. The "comprehensive" nature of the eight-wicket win highlights the current gap in form between the two sides. The Proteas' ability to sustain pressure and force errors was the deciding factor in this series-clinching match. Focus Shifts to Johannesburg With the series already secured, attention now turns to the third and final clash taking place this coming Wednesday  in Johannesburg. For the Proteas, this match offers an opportunity to achieve a series whitewash, while also providing the selectors a chance to potentially experiment with the squad composition. The Wanderers Stadium, famous for its fast outfield and high-scoring matches, will provide the ideal backdrop for the series finale. The team’s #Unbreakable ethos will be on full display as they aim to keep their momentum intact ahead of their next international challenge.

Residents of Ikageng were left in disbelief this morning after a minibus taxi plunged into a deep excavation at the "First Stop" intersection between Mapetla and Defense. The dramatic scene has sparked heated discussions among locals regarding safety protocols at construction sites within the township. The Scene at First Stop The incident occurred during the early morning commute, a peak time for local transport. The white taxi appears to have driven into a large, unpaved trench in the center of the road. Recovery Efforts: A large Rondebult yellow excavator was positioned directly over the vehicle, attempting to assist in the recovery or stabilize the surrounding earth. The Hazard: The hole, which occupies a significant portion of the roadway, appears deep enough to have almost fully submerged the front half of the minibus. Current Status Traffic: The road between Mapetla and Defense remains heavily congested as heavy machinery occupies the lanes to extract the vehicle. Injuries: While the vehicle sustained significant damage, no fatalities have been reported as of mid-morning. Motorists in Ikageng are urged to use alternative routes and exercise extreme caution near construction zones, as many roads remain unpredictable following recent maintenance work.

The JB Marks Local Municipality has announced a targeted initiative to support vulnerable residents within Ward 1. Led by Councillor Rabodiba Maloganye, the program focuses on providing direct assistance to indigent households, specifically helping them navigate the process of completing debt write-off forms.

Soms is ’n restaurant meer as net ’n plek waar kos bedien word; dit is ’n plek waar geskiedenis geskryf word, waar gebede beantwoord word en waar elke bord kos ’n storie van generasies vertel. By Boeresjiek in Potchefstroom is dit presies die geval. Wat jare gelede as ’n klein winkeltjie genaamd Mr Salad   begin het, het vandag uitgegroei tot ’n baken van sielskos en gemeenskapsdiens. Foto: Boeresjiek Die storie is ten nouste verweef met die lewens van Susan en Kosie, die stigters. Susan, wat vir 20 jaar ’n geliefde onderwyseres by Laerskool Baillie Park was, het haar passie vir kosmaak gevolg toe die geleentheid hom voordoen. Wat begin het met wegneemetes en slaaie, het vinnig uitgebrei toe sy ’n gaping in die mark vir egte, tuisgekookte Sondagetes raakgesien het. Vandag staan die tweede generasie aan die stuur met Chrisna, wat aanvanklik Regte en Sielkunde geswot het en in 2013 by die familiebesigheid aangesluit het , die jaar van die groot handelsmerkverandering na Boeresjiek. ’n Gebed op die Voorstoep Een van die mooiste staaltjies agter die skerms is hoe Chrisna haar man, Hendrie, ontmoet het. Chrisna vertel hoe sy as jong meisie gebid het dat die Here haar man letterlik tot voor haar voorstoep sou sê. Tydens ’n spysenieringswerk op die NWU-kampus het sy Dr. John van der Merwe ontmoet, wat so beïndruk was dat hy dieselfde aand sy seun, Hendrie, gebel het om te sê hy het sy vrou gevind. Hendrie het kort daarna by Boeresjiek ingestap vir ’n koffie-afspraak, en die rest is geskiedenis. Vandag werk die paar skouer-aan-skouer nadat Hendrie sy regspraktyk in 2018 verruil het vir die uitdagings van die restaurant- en spysenieringsbedryf. Die Geheime Bestanddeel: Emily en die "Ingewerkte" Pot Gaste wonder dikwels wat Boeresjiek se pampoenpoffers en pampoentert so uniek maak. Die geheim lê by Emily, wat reeds 28 jaar lank deel is van die span en die poffers soos ’n goed geoliede masjien bak. Met ’n spesifieke lepeltegniek en ’n reuse pot olie wat self ook reeds 28 jaar oud en "ingebak" is, lewer sy die perfekte ronde poffers waarvoor die dorp bekend is. Hierdie kontinuïteit en liefde vir die handwerk is wat die kos daardie spesiale tuisgemaakte smaak gee wat mens nie sommer elders vind nie. Gesterk deur Uitdagings Die pad was nie altyd maklik nie, en die COVID-pandemie het die besigheid hard geslaan, wat hulle genoodsaak het om een van hul twee takke te sluit. Vir Chrisna en Hendrie was dit egter nie ’n mislukking nie, maar ’n geloofsuitdaging waarbinne hulle daagliks van God se voorsiening kon getuig. Na ’n gesondheidsskok aan die einde van verlede jaar het hulle die dapper besluit geneem om Saterdae te sluit om tyd te maak vir rus, familie en gehoorsaamheid. Hulle glo vas dat die lewe oor meer as net ’n bankbalans gaan en vertrou die Here vir elke dag se krag. Winter-Sielskos op die Tafel Soos die koue intrek, berei Boeresjiek voor vir hul besigste en lekkerste tyd van die jaar. Vanaf Mei-maand kan kliënte uitsien na warm vloeibare goud soos hoenderroomsop met vars gebakte potbrood, asook tradisionele gunstelinge soos beesvleisbredie, pampoentert en warm kerrie. Vir diegene met ’n soettand is daar altyd vars vetkoeke en warm melkkos gereed. Terwyl die winter buite byt, hardloop die span in die warm kombuis rond om seker te maak elke bord kos voed nie net die liggaam nie, maar ook die siel. ’n Toekoms met ’n Hoër Roeping Vir die volgende vyf tot tien jaar is die visie vir Boeresjiek om meer as net ’n restaurant te wees. Chrisna en Hendrie sien dit as ’n bedieningsveld, veral vir jong mense en studente wat ver van die huis af is en onder groot druk verkeer. Hulle wil ’n lig wees in ’n donker wêreld en kliënte wat met bekommernisse instap, laat voel dat hulle gewaardeer word en waarde vir hul geld kry. Dit is ’n reuse mylpaal dat Susan en Kosie reeds 46 jaar getroud is ten spyte van die harde werk, en dat Chrisna en Hendrie nou al 12 jaar van huwelik en agt jaar van suksesvolle samewerking vier. #BoeresjiekPotch #Sielskos #FamilieBesigheid #PotchefstroomEetplekke #GeloofEnWerk #Pampoenpoffers #Tradisie #KookMetLiefde #NWUStudente

Welcome back, Potchefstroom! We’ve officially crossed into the middle of April 2026, and the pace in our beautiful city isn't showing any signs of slowing down. Image (Created) : The Go-To Guy This week, the Go-To Guy  team has been balancing the "now" and the "then",from the launch of trendy new eateries and the arrival of world-class tool ranges to somber deep dives into our local history and municipal governance. Whether you’re looking to finish a DIY project, grab a world-class burger, or understand the administrative shifts in our municipality, Week 15 has something for everyone. Grab a cup of coffee and settle in for your 10-minute briefing on the life and times of Potchefstroom and Ikageng. Our Eyes in the Field: Potchefstroom Our "Eyes in the Field" team has been zigzagging across town this week, from the bustling Steve Biko Street to the quiet, hallowed grounds of Alexander Park. Here is the chronological breakdown of the week that was. April 13: A New Spot on the Bult – Stud. Burger is Open! We kicked off the week with some mouth-watering news for the foodies and students of Potch. Stud. Burger  has officially opened its doors in Steve Biko Street! The Bult has always been the heartbeat of Potchefstroom's social scene, and this new addition is already turning heads. Our team popped in to get a first look at the interior and the vibe, and it’s safe to say they’ve nailed the "urban-cool" aesthetic. If you’re looking for a new "spot" to grab a bite between classes or a Friday night treat, watch our video tour and then head over to Steve Biko Street to taste what the hype is about. April 14: Value Meets Variety – Ingco at Build it On Tuesday, our focus shifted to the builders and DIY enthusiasts. We visited the floor at Build it to check out their impressive Ingco range. Ingco has rapidly become a favorite for both professionals and home-improvement hobbyists because of its incredible balance between durability and price. The full range is currently on the floor, and the team at Build it is running some fantastic specials. If you’ve been putting off that home project, now is the time to get more value for your money. Image (Created) : The Go-To Guy April 16: Heritage and History – A Visit to Alexander Park Thursday was a day of reflection as we stepped away from the commercial hustle to visit the historic Alexander Park Cemetery. We had the privilege of walking through the grounds with Johan Wolfaardt, the Vice-Chairman of Heritage Potch Erfenis. Johan shared fascinating insights into the "stories behind the gravestones",the pioneers and residents who built the foundation of the town we live in today. It was a sobering reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage sites. Often, we drive past these areas without realizing the rich history buried right next to us. Our latest video feature explores this in detail; it’s a must-watch for anyone who loves the history of our town. April 16: Accountability – The MPAC Governance Crisis Report In a shift toward civic duty and accountability, we also reported on a developing story within the JB Marks Local Municipality. The Municipal Public Accounts Committee (MPAC) has officially flagged a significant governance crisis and widespread administrative non-compliance. This report highlights serious concerns regarding how our local municipality is being managed. At The Go-To Guy , we believe in keeping our community informed on the "uncomfortable" news just as much as the "good" news, as transparency is the only way toward a better-functioning city. April 16: More Gear! Ingco Arrives at Flotek It seems April is the month of Ingco! For those located closer to the industrial area, Flotek  has also announced that they are now officially stocking a wide variety of Ingco products. There’s no longer a need to drive across town to find high-quality tools for your plumbing or mechanical projects. Having a range this versatile available at Flotek makes it even easier to get all your professional equipment under one roof. April 17: Finishing Projects with Oppi Copy We wrapped up the week by visiting the team at Oppi Copy . If you have a project that needs a professional finish, this is your one-stop shop. From personal home decor like high-quality canvases to professional business needs like custom stickers and Plexiglas signage, they do it all. Keep an Eye Out:   They are very active on social media, which is the best place to catch their latest specials and competitions. Convenience: They are open Monday through Friday, and,crucially for those of us with busy schedules,they are also open on Saturdays . Image (Created) : The Go-To Guy Ikageng: Energy, Art, and the Basketball Court While Potchefstroom was busy with business and history, Ikageng was alive with the sound of music and the rhythm of the streets. April 13: "Payback Time" at the Basketball Court If you weren't at the basketball court this past Saturday, you missed something special. Payback Time  brought the heat for an afternoon of high-intensity dance and community vibes. Ikageng’s street culture is thriving, and the talent on display was truly "next level." Our team captured the highlights, and the energy in the footage speaks for itself. Shoutout to every dancer who left it all on the floor,the passion and discipline it takes to perform at that level is exactly what we love to see in our community. Stay tuned to our Ikageng feed for the realest updates on the local scene. Final Thoughts Week 15 has been a perfect example of the balance we strive for at The Go-To Guy . We want to celebrate the new (like Stud. Burger), support the local economy (like Build it and Oppi Copy), and respect the past (like Alexander Park). Even while our StroomStories studio is taking a short break, we are out there every day ensuring you don't miss a beat. Whether it’s at the stadium, the cemetery, or the shopping center, we are your eyes and ears in the field.
