On 7 October, the Wellness Centre together with Cantina, Hairtrends Salon and Potchefstroom Academy   photography studio are hosting a “Spa Milkshake Party” for girls aged 6 to 12. The event will run from 10h00 to 12h00 at Dr James Moroka Avenue, Potchefstroom. What’s included in the R250 ticket The ticket price covers more than just a milkshake. Each child will get a mini manicure and pedicure, a choice of braids or curls finished off with glitter spray, and a sweet milkshake treat. A mini photoshoot is also part of the deal, with three edited professional images included in the package. Why the milkshake? The organisers seem to be leaning into the idea that a pamper session feels better with a drink in hand. It might not be champagne, but a strawberry milkshake does the trick just as well when you’re six. Details at a glance Date: 7 October 2025 Time: 10h00 – 12h00 Venue: 58 Dr James Moroka Ave, Potchefstroom Price: R250 per person Ages: Exclusively for girls aged 6–12 Contact and bookings Bookings are essential and can be made via WhatsApp on 060-782-7998. The event promises two hours of pampering, glitter and giggles. It’s a one-day only gathering, and spots are limited. Parents keen to treat their kids may want to move fast before all the milkshakes are spoken for.

Potchefstroom kry weer iets besonders om oor te praat: Dr Gwenneth Miller se nuwe solo-uitstalling met die titel “Omgekeerd”. Dit open amptelik op 7 Oktober 2025 om 16:00 by die bekende Snowflake Venue, geleë op die hoek van Piet Bosman- en Wolmaransstraat. Die openingsrede word gedoen deur Dr Louisemarie Combrink. Die uitstalling vorm deel van die Momentum Aardklop Nasionale Kunstefees en is oop tot 11 Oktober. Wat om te verwag Miller beskryf haar werk as ’n gesprek met haarself, die kuns “praat terug” en sy antwoord dan weer deur nuwe temas of deur vorige werke om te keer. Die resultate is digitale drukwerke, collages, installasies, skilderye en tekeninge wat almal op ’n manier oor “behoort” en sisteme van samehorigheid praat. Sy hou daarvan om die mediums deurmekaar te gebruik en die grense van kunsvorme te toets. Die projek word aangebied in samewerking met Momentum Aardklop en UNISA, met Snowflake as die gasheer. As mens vir net ’n glasie wyn en bietjie kuns soek, lyk dit soos die regte stop in Oktober. En natuurlik, dis Potch, so jy kan sommer ná die opening gaan koffie drink en kuier soos net Potchefstroom dit kan doen.

A Festival for Budding Artists The NWU Gallery is opening its doors to younger audiences with a children’s art programme as part of the Momentum Aardklop Festival 2025. Titled Young Eyes, Bold Art, the programme runs on 8 and 9 October 2025 and is designed to introduce children to the world of art in a way that’s fun, structured, and maybe a little messy (in the best way possible). When and Where Venue: NWU Gallery, Building F16G, 11 Hoffman Street, Potchefstroom Dates: Wednesday 8 and Thursday 9 October 2025 Sessions: Ages 6–10: 09:30 – 11:30 Ages 11–15: 12:00 – 14:00 Participants: Maximum 15 children per session What’s in the Bag? Each child who takes part gets: A guided tour of five exhibitions A hands-on art activity (the part where shirts may never be the same again) An activity and snack bag to keep spirits fuelled and creativity flowing At R50 per child, it’s about the price of a takeaway coffee and definitely longer-lasting. Tickets are available through Webtickets. Booking and Contact Email: gallery@nwu.ac.za Phone: 018-299-4341 Tickets: Buy at Webtickets A Note on Availability Sessions are capped at 15 children, so bookings are essential. At last check, spaces for the 11–15 year age group were still open. Parents keen on avoiding last-minute panic are advised to get in touch with the gallery sooner rather than later. If your household involves paint-splattered hands, sticky snack bags, and the occasional masterpiece stuck to the fridge, this might be the one event you won’t want to miss.

NAMPO Alfa returns to Bothaville with a three-day expo that combines South Africa’s largest livestock showcase with hunting and outdoor attractions. Visitors can expect everything from firearm testing on a shooting range to 4×4 test tracks, caravans, camping gear and angling exhibitions. Originally launched as ALFA in Parys, the event has grown into the country’s top livestock expo. Now, with NAMPO Park as host, the livestock section is joined by hunting and outdoor life. According to organisers, the combination makes sense, if you farm animals, there’s a fair chance you like a bit of biltong and a fishing rod too. SpekGesprek: Talking Pork On Saturday, 18 October 2025 (09:00 – 12:00), the Member’s Hall at NAMPO Park will host SpekGesprek, a panel discussion diving into the tough questions around South Africa’s pork industry. The line-up includes: Andrew Reeders (Topigs Norsvin): Business and economics of pig farming. Stefan Corbett (Agritistics): Data and decision support for pig producers. Shaun Mockford (Mockford Farms/The Flying Pig): Welfare-focused pork production. Enrike Maree (AgreetothisAgri): Agri communicator busting consumer myths. Stefan Vermaak (Eskort): COO with focus on insights, value chain and innovation. Dr Marlene Louw (SAPPO): Assurance, welfare and consumer trust. Producers, processors and anyone who likes bacon with their breakfast will want to listen in. RSVPs close on 1 October. Tractor Boeresport Challenge If debates about data-driven pig farming feel too serious, there’s always tractor sports. The Trekker Boeresport competition runs throughout the expo with practice rounds on 16 and 17 October at R50 per person. The final takes place on Saturday, 18 October. Entry fee: R400 per team of four Prize: Trophy for the fastest team around the tractor obstacle course Cause: Proceeds go to Kleinbroek Primêre Skool Contact: Johan Swanepoel – 083 381 5924 It’s less Formula 1 and more “don’t stall the tractor in front of your tannie,” but bragging rights are on the line. Bothas Oktoberfees On Friday, 17 October 2025 at 18:00, the Nampo Saal will host the Bothas Oktoberfees. Expect food stalls, a cash bar and live music from the band Wingerdgriep. Price: R150 per person (includes expo entry) Bookings: School office – 056 515 2700 or via Open Ticket The poster promises “koue drankies, kos, musiek” – which basically ticks the big three boxes for a decent Friday night. General Info Event: NAMPO Alfa – Livestock, Hunting & Outdoor Expo Dates: 16 – 18 October 2025 Venue: NAMPO Park, Bothaville Tickets: R70 per person per day Bothas Oktoberfees: R150 per person (includes expo entry) Website: www.nampoalfa.co.za Facebook: Nampo Alfa (official page) Ticket site: Open Ticket NAMPO Alfa 2025 offers more than just cattle and combines. Between the expo, pork debates, tractor bragging rights and a proper Oktoberfest, there’s enough to keep farmers, hunters, and city folk in gumboots entertained.

Coffee and Potchefstroom are synonymous, so we know that this International Coffee Day will be well celebrated within our community. Image: The Go-To Guy Creations Launched in 2015 and celebrated on 1 October, International Coffee Day promotes and celebrates surely one of the most beloved hot beverages in the world, although these days there seems to be an increase in its cold cousin’s popularity. Iced coffee is creeping its way up the ladder and is a strong contender for the most consumed beverage. Coffee, stat. I mean, coffee stats. Let’s face it, there’s nothing quite like a steaming cup of coffee in the morning - whether you fancy a Flat White or opt for the stronger Espresso or even just a good cup of instant coffee, to some it’s the perfect (or only) way to start your day. In our beloved South Africa, two-thirds of the adult population drink coffee on a daily basis - that’s approximately 21.7 million people. That’s a lot of coffee mugs! And on a larger scale, over 2.25 billion people enjoy a cup of Joe each and every day. According to further statistics, 2023 saw more than 1.4 billion litres of iced coffee consumed globally! The demography for this cold beverage is mostly Millennials and Gen Z, as these two groups tend to grab a ‘little treat’ at least once a week.  Image: The Go-To Guy Creations Pick your poison There is no shortage of coffee shops in Potchefstroom, so coffee lovers need not be alarmed when deciding on where to celebrate this International Coffee Day. With a new café opening its doors nearly every six months, the choices are endless. Coffee enthusiasts can enjoy their favourite hot (or cold) beverage at one of the MANY following spots: deMilko Platō Coffee Padlangs Koffiestop Kukua Coffee Cuppa Café All Rise Coffee Court Vida e Caffé Seattle Coffee Pavement Special Coffee Co. Brayat Die Akker Koffiehuis Recharge Coffee SLOUW Café Die Pienk Huis Black Orchid Café Toro Central Perk Coffee Bootleggers Mugg & Bean Blank Canvas Café  Loop Straat Bakery Not to mention the hidden gems like Espresso Carwash, where you can enjoy a really good cup of coffee while you wait for your car to be washed (we heard that their American Fudge coffee is a showstopper). And although it's not coffee, you absolutely have to try the hot chocolate from the Shell Garage across from The Broken Pot. Unfortunately, we bid farewell to Hooked Coffee Co., but not to worry, a new, exciting coffee spot is opening in its place…because, why not? Keep an eye out for Surf & Turf Coffee opening soon at the Baillie Park Spar shopping centre.  Whether you’re a hazelnut iced coffee guy or a double shot espresso girl, one thing is for certain - Potch has got your caffeine fix covered this International Coffee Day. So, go out there, drink the coffee, and do the things.  ________________________________ Johané van Dyk - Potchefstroom The Go-To Guy Team loves a good coffee

The JB Marks Local Municipality has issued a public notice informing residents and motorists of a planned temporary closure on Oudebrug Street . The road will be closed on Monday, 06 October 2025, from 08:00 until 17:00 , covering the stretch between the R501  and Hennie Bingle Street . The closure is linked to construction work requiring cranes and the transportation of heavy concrete slabs, with safety and traffic management measures put in place to minimise disruption. Image: The Go-To Guy Creations Purpose of the Closure According to the municipality, the closure is essential for public safety . Construction teams will be using heavy-duty cranes to transport and position large concrete slabs, a process that poses risks to vehicles and pedestrians in the immediate vicinity if traffic is not restricted. Municipal officials emphasised that the work could not be completed without a full closure of this section of Oudebrug Street, as the scale of equipment and materials involved makes partial traffic management unsafe. Safety Precautions and Management To ensure the safety of both workers and the public, the municipality confirmed that several precautionary measures will be implemented: Signage and Barriers:  Advance warning signs and road barriers will be placed along the affected area to alert road users and guide them toward alternative routes. Traffic Officers:  Dedicated traffic officers will be stationed at key points throughout the day to manage diversions, control flow, and ensure compliance. Restricted Access:  No unauthorised vehicles or pedestrians will be allowed to enter the construction zone during the closure period. Emergency Protocols:  Coordination with local emergency services will ensure that ambulances, fire vehicles, and police can respond quickly in case of emergencies requiring passage near the area. Community Impact and Alternatives The closure is expected to cause some inconvenience to daily traffic, particularly for motorists who use Oudebrug Street as a connection between the R501 and Hennie Bingle Street. The municipality has urged residents and commuters to plan their journeys in advance and make use of alternative routes during the closure hours. Local businesses and residents in the affected zone have been informed of the temporary restrictions. The municipality has assured them that access will be restored immediately once construction operations are complete. While disruptions are anticipated, municipal officials emphasised that the closure is temporary and limited to one working day , designed to minimize long-term inconvenience while prioritising safety. Cooperation Requested from Residents In its notice, the municipality appealed for understanding and cooperation  from the public. Compliance with signage, barriers, and traffic officers’ instructions will be key to ensuring the closure proceeds smoothly and without incident. The municipality also reminded residents that infrastructure work of this nature is part of broader efforts to strengthen service delivery and support urban development. Short-term disruptions, they noted, are sometimes unavoidable but ultimately contribute to the area’s long-term safety and infrastructure capacity. Broader Context of Infrastructure Maintenance The closure of Oudebrug Street comes at a time when the municipality is undertaking a range of infrastructure and service delivery initiatives. Road repairs, water supply stabilisation, and sewer upgrades have been ongoing in various areas, reflecting a strategic push to improve core infrastructure. Events like this temporary closure highlight the balancing act municipalities face: ensuring safety during construction while maintaining the flow of daily community life. In this case, officials argue that the full-day closure, while disruptive, represents the safest and most efficient way to complete critical construction tasks. Wrap-Up The temporary closure of Oudebrug Street on 6 October is a necessary safety measure tied to heavy construction activities. With signage, barriers, and traffic officers deployed, the JB Marks Local Municipality aims to minimize inconvenience while ensuring public protection. Residents and motorists are encouraged to prepare for diversions, exercise patience, and cooperate fully with officials on the day. The municipality’s message is clear: safety comes first, and community understanding will help ensure the smooth completion of the project. #TheGoToGuy #JBMarks #Potchefstroom #RoadClosure #InfrastructureUpdate #CommunitySafety 🚧🛣️🏗️🚦
