Its grille and taillights are not just functional but can easily be mistaken for couture in the car world. Interiors: When Your Bakkie Flirts Back While "that other bakkie" bakkies may be the "short tight-fitting pants" of the vehicle world here, the P-Series is that perfectly tailored suit, drawing eyes wherever it goes.

Extra Perks: Step Up Your Charm The cherry on top? The GWM P-Series comes with an easy step for the tailgate. No longer do you need to do the awkward "climb onto the wheel" dance when accessing the bakkie bed. Especially handy when setting up that romantic picnic spot. The Verdict Lads of Potchefstroom, while "those other bakkies" (wink, wink) might make you student-famous, the GWM P-Series could just be your key to long-lasting love. Offering luxury, style, and off-road charisma, it's a bakkie that ensures your date night isn’t just limited to the town’s pubs. Looking for love (or a comfortable drive)? The P-Series might just be your perfect match.

Formative Years and Triumphs In 2006, the South African music scene was graced with the formation of the "Broers" - a trio that epitomized harmonious singing and exhilarating rhythms. Comprising of the Snyman brothers - Christo, Cobus, and Stephan, the band's name, which translates to 'Brothers' in Afrikaans, was a perfect representation of their bond, both familial and musical. Image : Facebook Die Broers Their talents were not just limited to producing entrancing music; they also ventured into the publishing realm with their own company, SMP (Snyman-musiekproduksies). Their 2008 hit, "Huistoe," resonated with many, earning them the title of "Best Song of the Year" at the Tempo Awards, an accolade presented by the famed Afrikaans magazine, Huisgenoot. The Early Duo: Christo en Cobus Before the inception of Broers, Christo and Cobus had already embarked on their musical journey as a duo, aptly named "Christo en Cobus." Their collaborative venture began in 1992 and continued till 2007, producing melodies that would lay the foundation for the later emergence of Broers. This collaboration culminated in four studio albums, including a notable gospel album that showcased their versatility. Stephan's Solo Brilliance: Nic Stevens The youngest of the trio, Stephan Snyman, embarked on a solo career under the pseudonym Nic Stevens. As a multi-instrumentalist, he brought life to his songs, skillfully playing the piano, guitar, and trumpet. Among his achievements is a unique album dedicated to covering songs by the iconic Bryan Adams. However, his heart would eventually find its way back to collaborating with his brothers, cementing the legacy of Broers. A Lifetime of Music From their early days, the passion for music was evident in the Snyman brothers. They began crafting melodies as young children, singing in choirs from their primary school years. Their dedication was further enhanced by formal training in various instruments, including the piano, trumpet, guitar, and double bass. For them, music was not just a hobby, it was a calling - a profession they chose wholeheartedly. National Pride and Performances One of the defining moments in their illustrious career was the honor of performing the national anthem during the International Rugby Board’s 3-nation matches between rugby giants - New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa. Their powerful rendition echoed in the hearts of countless South Africans. Moreover, Christo's skills extend beyond singing, as he's also a seasoned master of ceremonies. The brothers, known for their magnetic performances, are available for shows across the nation. In the rich tapestry of South African music, the Broers' harmonious threads will forever remain interwoven, leaving behind an unmatched legacy of rhythm, melody, and soul.

A Call to Action for Every Resident – Politics Aside, This is About Our Home Potchefstroom is at a breaking point. Sewage spills are becoming the norm, not the exception. Parks, homes, and even the Mooi River are contaminated with raw sewage. Families are forced to live with unbearable stench, blocked toilets, and health risks that are nothing short of catastrophic. Just last week, the JB Marks Concerned Citizens group took legal action against the municipality, demanding emergency interventions to fix burst sewage pipes and failed pump stations across Promosa, Baillie Park, Central Potchefstroom, and more. And yet, shockingly, every year, R40 million allocated for municipal infrastructure upgrades goes unspent and is sent back to the National Treasury. Let that sink in. While our city collapses under the weight of a decaying sewage system, while our children walk to school past sewage-soaked streets, the money that could have fixed these problems is left untouched. Now Is Our Moment to Demand Change A Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and Budget Review meeting will be held on: • 🗓 Wednesday, 7 May 2025 • 🕔 17:00 • 📍 Madiba Banqueting Halls This is not just another meeting. This is where the future of our city’s budget is discussed — and where your voice can make the difference between R40 million being used to fix our sewage system, or vanishing back to Pretoria. All affected wards, including Wards 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 15, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 28, will be represented by your elected councillors, many of whom are already trying to raise the alarm. But they can’t do it alone. They need you. When the public shows up in numbers, the pressure becomes real. The spotlight turns to action, not excuses. Why This Matters to Everyone, Regardless of Politics This isn’t about party lines. This is about clean streets, working toilets, safe parks, and a city our children deserve. It’s about dignity. Whether you voted or not, whether you support the current leadership or not, this is your city, and this is your money. And right now, your city is crying out for help. What Can You Do? • 📢 Attend the IDP Meeting on 7 May. • 👥 Bring your family, your neighbours, your community groups. • 📸 Share evidence of service delivery failures, every voice adds weight. • 📝 Demand that this year’s R40 million allocation is used, not returned. We Can’t Afford Another Lost Year The legal action initiated by JBMCC has highlighted just how dire the situation is. The courts may compel the municipality to act, but real change will only come when the community stands together and makes it clear: enough is enough. This is the time to rise above political divides and come together as residents of Potchefstroom. Let’s flood the meeting halls — not our streets. Let’s Save Potchefstroom. Together. #ShowUpPotch #FixOurCity #R40MillionMatters #NoMoreSewage

In every community, there are unsung heroes working tirelessly to protect and care for animals in need. In our town, PAWS and Free Range Cat Colony (Vee's) play an essential role in rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding loving homes for stray and abandoned pets. Whether through donations, volunteering, or adoption, you too can be a part of their mission. Image: The Go-To Guy Creations PAWS: Giving Pets a Second Chance PAWS is dedicated to rescuing and protecting pets, primarily dogs and cats, ensuring they receive the care they deserve. However, this important work cannot be done alone. PAWS relies on the kindness and generosity of the community to continue their mission. Ways to Help PAWS • Donations: PAWS is always in need of pet food, blankets, and monetary contributions to assist with veterinary bills and various projects. • Sponsor a Kennel: For R240 per month, individuals and companies can sponsor a kennel. Sponsors can even visit PAWS, choose a kennel, and have their name or company logo placed on it. • Volunteer Opportunities: Love animals? PAWS welcomes volunteers to help walk dogs, brush cats, and assist in other areas. • The “I Walk a Dog” initiative allows individuals over 18 years old to choose a dog, fill out a form, and provide much-needed exercise and companionship. • Children under 18 can also participate with parental consent, with parents required to fill in the necessary forms. Image: The Go-To Guy Creations • Adopt a Pet: PAWS has dogs and cats of all sizes waiting for a loving home. The adoption process is simple: 1. Visit PAWS and walk through the kennels to select a pet. 2. Fill out an adoption pack at the office. 3. A PAWS manager will conduct a home inspection to ensure the environment is suitable. 4. Once approved and sterilization is complete, you can welcome your new pet home! • Foster a Pet: Similar to adoption, fostering includes a home check and allows families to temporarily care for a pet for at least two weeks. If the family decides to adopt the pet permanently (a “foster fail”), a formal adoption process follows. PAWS covers medical expenses during the fostering period. For more information on donating, volunteering, adopting, or fostering, contact PAWS at 071-681-9264. Watch the video in the comments below. Free Range Cat Colony: A Safe Haven for Feline Friends Although part of PAWS, the Free Range Cat Colony initiative operates separately, providing a safe space for stray and semi-feral cats on PAWS property. Recent Upgrades to Free Range Cats Premises The Free Range Cats area has recently been upgraded with a new space that includes shelter, a play area for the cats, spotlight installations, a camera, and secure fencing. These improvements ensure the safety and well-being of the cats, providing them with a comfortable and stimulating environment. How You Can Help Free Range Cats • Food Donations: These cats require gemaalde wildvleis (ground wild game meat), as they do not eat wet cat food. Donations of dry cat food, milk, and blankets are also greatly appreciated. • Adopt a Cat: Many of these cats are in need of a forever home. The process is as follows: • Interested individuals can contact Vee, who will arrange a time for them to meet the cats. • During this visit, potential adopters can interact with the cats to find one that connects best with them. • Vee will then guide them through the entire adoption process, which includes sterilization and necessary vaccinations. • Support Vee’s Efforts: Volunteer Vee visits three times a week to care for the cats. Extra hands and resources can go a long way in ensuring these felines are well-fed and cared for. • Volunteer Opportunities: Volunteers are also welcome to contact Vee and inquire about what assistance is needed. • Monetary Donations: Financial contributions are also welcome. A separate bank account is maintained for these funds, and each month, receipts for purchases such as dry cat food and veterinary bills, along with a bank statement, are submitted to PAWS to ensure transparency and accurate record-keeping. Additionally, monetary donations can be made directly to the vet’s account, allowing the Free Range Cats to receive veterinary care as needed. Image: The Go-To Guy Creations Contact and Donation Delivery Arrangements 📞 Contact Vee: +27 72 227 2688 • For donation delivery arrangements, contact Vee to schedule a meeting, or she can collect the donations. • Donations can also be dropped off at PAWS, but it must be specified that they are for the Free Range Cat Colony. Ask for Lloyd, who will assist donors and inform Vee about the received donations. Watch the video in the comments below. A Call to Action: Be a Hero for Our Furry Friends Animals bring joy, companionship, and unconditional love into our lives. PAWS and Free Range Cats work tirelessly to protect and care for these animals, but they need our support. Whether you donate, volunteer, adopt, or foster, your actions can make a significant impact. Together, as a community, we can provide these pets with the love and care they deserve. Every small act of kindness counts—will you be part of the change? #TheGoToGuy #stroomstories #potchefstroom #potchgazette #caring #furryfriends #PAWS #FreeRangeCatColony #Supporting #Iwalkadog
