Anton Smith, oorhandig is. Hierdie fasiliteit is die resultaat van ’n kragtige vennootskap tussen die skool, die sakegemeenskap en vrygewige borge. Foto: Laerskool La Hoff ’n Projek Gebore uit Gemeenskapsgees Die oprigting van hierdie pragtige fasiliteit het sy oorsprong gehad by die 9de Bona Bona Platinum-veiling.

North-West University (NWU) has solidified its position as a central hub for athletic talent following the selection of six student-athletes to represent South Africa at the 2026 CAA African Athletics Championships. The event, scheduled to take place in Accra, Ghana, from 12 to 17 May, features a 35-member national squad aiming for continental success. The inclusion of these representatives highlights the university's consistent contribution to the national sporting landscape. Images: NWU A Diverse Roster of Talent The selected athletes represent a broad spectrum of track and field disciplines, showcasing the technical depth of the NWU sports program. The university representatives joining Team South Africa include: Bradley Nkoana Righardt Stander Mihlali Xotyeni Luan Munnik Valco van Wyk Rogail Joseph In addition to the student-athletes, NWU coach Cyril Lawless has been appointed to the national coaching staff. His inclusion provides technical expertise to the South African delegation in Accra, further demonstrating the high-performance environment fostered at the university. Recent International Milestones The selection follows several historic performances by NWU-affiliated athletes on the global stage. Bradley Nkoana enters the championships with significant momentum, having recently secured a silver medal at the World Relay Championships as a member of South Africa’s 4x100m relay team. The university’s influence has also been felt in recent record-breaking feats and qualification milestones: Viwe Jingqui was a key member of the South African women’s 4x100m relay team that recently established a new national record. Bradley Maponyane represented the nation in the mixed 4x400m relay team, which successfully secured qualification for the 2027 World Championships. Images: NWU Balancing Academics and High-Performance Sport The participation of these athletes in Ghana serves as a testament to their ability to balance rigorous academic requirements with the demands of international competition. Spanning disciplines from sprinting and middle-distance running to technical field events, these students continue to represent the university while pursuing their respective degrees. As the 2026 CAA African Athletics Championships progress in Accra, the performances of these six individuals remain a point of focus for the national team. Their presence on the continental stage reinforces South Africa's athletic depth and the university's role in developing talent capable of competing at the highest levels of the sport. #NWUSports #TeamSA #Accra2026 #AthleticsAfrica 🇿🇦🏃‍♂️🥇🌍

Die gemeenskap van Fochville bars van trots nadat een van Laerskool Fochville se leerders, Liam van Wyk, die sportwêreld aan sy voete gehad het. Liam het onlangs na Bangkok, Thailand, gereis vir die 2de Thailand Kickboxing World Cup, waar hy nie net teen die wêreld se bestes meegeding het nie, maar as die amptelike Wêreldkampioen gekroon is. Foto: Fochville Laerskool ’n Stryd teen die Wêreld se Bestes Die omvang van Liam se prestasie kan kwalik oorskat word. Die toernooi het meer as 1 000 atlete uit 63 verskillende lande gelok, wat dit een van die mees mededingende skopboks-geleenthede op die internasionale kalender maak. Om uit so ’n groot poel van talent bo-op die podium te eindig, vereis meer as net natuurlike vermoë, dit verg die hart van ’n vegter. Liam se pad na die goue medalje was geplavei met: Harde Werk: Maande se intense fisiese voorbereiding en tegniese slyping. Dissipline: Die opofferings wat nodig is om op elite-vlak te fokus en te presteer. Deursettingsvermoë: Die krag om staande te bly teen teenstanders van regoor die aardbol. ’n Ambassadeur vir Suid-Afrika Liam het nie net as individu geveg nie; hy het die hoop van sy skool, die trots van Gauteng en die gees van Suid-Afrika op sy skouers gedra. Sy oorwinning in Bangkok stuur ’n kragtige boodskap aan sy mede-leerders by Laerskool Fochville: Geen droom is te groot as jy bereid is om die werk in te sit nie. Die skool het hul opregte dankbaarheid en trots uitgespreek en beklemtoon dat Liam se sukses ’n bewys is dat toewyding die sleutel tot die onmoontlike is. Hy keer terug na Suid-Afrika, nie net met ’n trofee nie, maar as ’n inspirasie vir elke jong atleet in die land. Die Toekoms van ’n Kampioen Met ’n wêreldtitel reeds agter sy naam op so ’n jong ouderdom, lê die wêreld oop vir hierdie jong vegter. Sy prestasie plaas Fochville stewig op die wêreldkaart van gevegskunste en versterk Suid-Afrika se reputasie as ’n broeines vir wêreldklas-atlete. Baie geluk, Liam! Jy het gewys dat die pad vanaf Fochville tot bo-op die wêreldverhoog korter is as wat mens dink met die regte ingesteldheid. #FochvilleTrots #Wêreldkampioen #KickboxingWorldCup #LiamVanWyk #SouthAfricanPride #ChampionMindset #Bangkok2026 #JongHelde

In the heart of the North West, Potchefstroom has long been defined by more than just its history and oak trees; it is defined by a spirit of "Stroom Cares." Image : BackaBuddy This community-driven ethos, championed by local platforms like The Go-To Guy and various neighborhood networks, has a powerful history of stepping up when one of its own is in need. Today, that call for compassion is louder than ever as we share the story of Shané Swanepoel. A Mother’s Fight Against an Invisible Enemy Shané’s life changed forever at the age of 16 when she was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis (MG). Often called the "snowflake disease" because it affects every patient differently, MG is a rare autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the connection between nerves and muscles. For years, Shané managed her condition with resilience, but since December 2025, her battle has taken a harrowing turn. What was once manageable has become a daily fight for survival. Her condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to repeated ICU admissions, collapsed lungs, and the terrifying necessity of ventilator support. The Weight of a Rare Disease For Shané, the simplest joys of motherhood,walking with her two daughters (aged 4 and 8), eating a meal with her husband, or even taking a deep breath,have become grueling tasks. To stay alive and fight for a return to health, she requires: Ongoing Plasma Exchanges: A critical but expensive procedure to remove harmful antibodies from her blood. Specialized Medication: Chronic treatments that are essential for muscle function. Trialing New Treatment Plans: Constant medical supervision as doctors search for the right "cocktail" of care to stabilize her. Despite having medical aid, the reality of rare diseases in South Africa is that many life-saving treatments and extended ICU stays are not fully covered. The mounting financial burden has placed an immense strain on a family already dealing with the emotional toll of a mother in crisis. How Potchefstroom Can Help The "Stroom Cares" movement is built on the idea that "no contribution is too small." Whether it is a financial donation to help cover the gap in medical costs or the power of prayer, every gesture brings Shané one step closer to being the mother her girls so desperately need. How you can support Shané Swanepoel: Donate: Every Rand helps cover the costs of plasma exchanges and specialist care that medical aid refuses. Share Her Story: Use your voice on social media. One share could reach someone who can offer the specific help the family needs. Pray: The family holds onto hope and asks the community for continued prayers for strength and healing. Shané remains determined. She is fighting not just for her health, but for the chance to watch her daughters grow up. Let’s show her that in Potchefstroom, no one fights alone.

Die lug in Potchefstroom gaan binnekort gelaai wees met meer as net die aandluggie; dit gaan gons van wedywering en skooltrots wanneer Potchefstroom Gimnasium en Hoërskool Volkskool mekaar op die krieketveld pak. Hierdie twee reuse van die dorp ontmoet mekaar op Dinsdag, 19 Mei 2026, in ’n kragmeting wat beloof om een van die hoogtepunte van die seisoen te wees. Foto: Potchefstroom Gimnasium Skitterende Aksie Onder die Ligte Wat hierdie wedstryd ekstra spesiaal maak, is die feit dat dit by die bekende JB Marks Oval plaasvind. Vir enige jong krieketspeler is dit ’n droom om op ’n internasionale standaardveld uit te draf, en die aand-atmosfeer onder die spreiligte gaan ongetwyfeld sorg vir ’n elektriese atmosfeer. Die Gimmies se Eerste Krieketspan het hard voorberei vir hierdie stryd. Met die "Gimmie-guts" waarvoor hulle bekend is, sal hulle poog om hul bure van die anderkant van die bult te uitoorlê met sowel die kolf as die bal. ’n Roepstem na die Ondersteuners Die Gimmie-sport Ondersteunersklub (GSOK) en die skoolbestuur het ’n beroep op alle Gimmies gedoen om die paviljoene vol te maak. Die boodskap is duidelik: "Bring jou gees, jou stem en jou Gimmie-trots." Die skool het dit ook maklik gemaak vir leerders om die span te ondersteun, enige leerder wat in hul amptelike skoolklere opdaag, sal gratis toegang tot die stadion geniet. Vir ouers en ander ondersteuners is die toegangsfooi ’n skamele R20, wat dit die perfekte geleentheid maak vir die hele gesin om topgehalte skoolkrieket te beleef. Tradisie en Mededinging Die wedywering tussen Gimmies en Volkies is een van die oudste en mees gerespekteerde in die land. Hoewel die kompetisie op die veld genadeloos sal wees, is dit ook ’n viering van die ryk sporttradisie in Potchefstroom. Hierdie wedstryd gaan oor meer as net lopies en paaltjies; dit gaan oor die eer van die skool en die geleentheid vir spelers om hul volle potensiaal op ’n groot verhoog te wys. Maak seker jy is daar wanneer die eerste bal om 18:00 geboul word. Gaan dit die blou-en-groen van Gimmies of die rooi-en-geel van Volkies wees wat aan die einde van die aand feesvier?

Die manne en vroue van die Dr. Kenneth Kaunda Ringbaldistrik ruil binnekort hul ringbal-tekkies vir gholfskoene. Op Vrydag, 29 Mei 2026, word daar ’n groot gholfdag by die Klerksdorp Gholfklub gehou. Die doel van die dag is om fondse in te samel vir die spelers wat in Julie 2026 aan die RingbalSA Nasionale Kampioenskappe gaan deelneem. Dit is ’n goeie verskoning om ’n dag uit die kantoor te ontsnap en terselfdertyd plaaslike sporttalent te ondersteun. ’n Bekende gesig op die baan As jy dink jy gaan net teen die plaaslike gholf-pro’s meeding, dink weer. Gys Swarts, die bekende gesig van die KykNET-drama Diepe Waters, gaan ook daar wees om die dag saam met die spelers te geniet. Of hy so goed gholf speel soos wat hy toneelspeel, sal die deelnemers maar self op die baan moet uitfigure. Dit is in elk geval ’n goeie geleentheid vir ’n vinnige selfie tussen die setperke deur. Hoe die dag gaan verloop Die verrigtinge skop af met registrasie om 09:00. Die formaat vir die dag is ’n 4-bal "better ball scramble drive". Dit beteken selfs die ouens wat gewoonlik meer tyd in die lang gras as op die skoonveld deurbring, het nog ’n kans om goed te lyk. Die "shotgun start" is om 11:00 en almal word teen 17:00 weer by die klubhuis verwag vir die prysuitdeling. Pryse en kostes Niemand hoef met leë hande huis toe te gaan nie. Daar is vleispryse en "lucky draws" op die spel. Vir diegene wat wil saamspeel, kos ’n 4-bal R1 200. Besighede wat ’n bietjie ekstra blootstelling soek, kan ’n putjie borg teen R2 000 en dit sluit sommer ’n 4-bal in. Dit is ’n goeie manier vir plaaslike besighede om hulself te bemark en terselfdertyd die gemeenskap te help. Bespreek jou plek As jy wil deel wees van die pret, moet jy nie te lank wag nie. Plekke is beperk en die putjie-borgskappe gaan gewoonlik vinnig. Vir enige navrae of om ’n plek te bespreek, kan Esmé Gous gekontak word op 083-342-6927. Of jy nou ’n pro is of net die gholfstokke afstof vir die dag, dit beloof om ’n lekker kuier te wees vir ’n goeie saak. Jou gholfdag opsomming: Datum: 29 Mei 2026 Plek: Klerksdorp Gholfklub (Boet Randlesstraat 7, Neserhof) Koste: R1 200 per 4-bal / R2 000 vir putjie-borgskap Kontak: Esmé Gous: 083-342-6927

Die wag is uiteindelik verby vir die ondersteuners van Hoërskool Schoonspruit. Vrydag word die gewone roetine van huiswerk en take opsy geskuif vir die grootste gebeurtenis op die skool se sportkalender: die jaarlikse FNB Classic Clash. Vanjaar pak die "Schoonies" die formidabele spanne van Hoërskool Wolmaransstad in ’n kragmeting wat beloof om die hele Klerksdorp-gemeenskap op hul voete te hê. Foto: Hoërskool Schoonspruit Meer as Net ’n Wedstryd Vir die leerders, onderwysers en oud-leerders van Schoonspruit is die Classic Clash nie sommer net nog ’n naweek se sport nie. Dit is ’n dag waar tradisie, trots en passie saamsmelt. Die voorbereidings duur al weke lank, met atlete wat hulself tot die uiterste gedryf het om te verseker dat hulle gereed is om alles op die veld te gee. Die dag bied ’n vol program van aksie, insluitend: Hokkie: Waar spoed en presisie die deurslag gaan gee. Netbal: Kragmetings wat bekend is vir hul spoed en strawwe kompetisie. Rugby: Die hoofwedstryde waar die fisiese stryd om glorie die dag sal afsluit. ’n Roepstem na die Gemeenskap Schoonspruit het ’n dringende beroep op hul ondersteuners gedoen om die velde pienk, blou en goud te kleur. Die boodskap is duidelik: Bring jou familie, vriende en selfs die buurman saam! Die skool glo dat die "twaalfde man", die ondersteuners langs die lyn, dikwels die verskil tussen ’n goeie vertoning en ’n oorwinning kan maak. "Die spanne is reg. Ons is reg. Nou wag ons net vir die gees langs die veld," lui die opgewonde verklaring vanaf die skool. Die fokus is nie net op die telbord nie, maar ook op die uitsonderlike sportmangees wat hierdie reeks wêreldwyd bekend gemaak het. Die Toekoms van Schoonie-Sport Met die momentum van die 2026-seisoen agter hulle, hoop Schoonspruit om hul tuisveld-voordeel te gebruik om ’n merkwaardige reeks resultate teen hul teenstanders van Wolmaransstad te behaal. Dit is op dae soos hierdie waar nuwe helde gebore word en stories geskep word wat nog jare lank in die skool se gange vertel sal word. Maak gereed vir ’n dag van titaniese stryde, harde kompetisie en onvergeetlike oomblikke. Die Classic Clash is hier om te bly! #FNBClassicClash2026 #Schoonies #ClashDay #Sportmangees #SchoonspruitPride #WolliesVsSchoonies #KlerksdorpSport

Hierdie prestasie word beskou as ’n groot eer vir sowel die speler as die skool, aangesien dit die hoogste vlak van verteenwoordiging vir laerskoolrugbyspelers in die provinsie is. Foto: Laerskool M.L. Fick ’n Pad van Harde Werk en Toegewydheid Ruben se insluiting in die Luiperdsgroep is nie net ’n bewys van sy natuurlike talent op die veld nie, maar ook van die ure se harde werk, dissipline en deursettingsvermoë wat hy gedurende die seisoen ingesit het. Om tussen die beste spelers in Noordwes gekies te word, vereis uitsonderlike vaardigheid en die vermoë om onder druk te presteer, eienskappe wat Ruben duidelik tydens die proewe getoon het. M.L. Fick: ’n Kweekplek vir Jong Sterre By Laerskool M.L. Fick is daar ’n ryk tradisie van sportuitnemendheid. Die skool fokus nie net op die wen van wedstryde nie, maar ook op die holistiese ontwikkeling van hul atlete. Die afrigters en personeel speel ’n deurslaggewende rol in die vorming van spelers soos Ruben, deur hulle te leer van spangees, integriteit en die belangrikheid van sportmanskap. Die skool het sy trots uitgespreek oor Ruben se prestasie en beklemtoon dat hy ’n ambassadeur is vir die waardes waarvoor M.L. Fick staan. Die Pad Vooruit As deel van die o/13 Luiperdsgroep wag daar nou ’n opwindende tydperk op Ruben. Hy sal die geleentheid kry om teen die land se elite-spanne mee te ding, waar hy sy staal op ’n nasionale platform kan wys. Hierdie ervaring is dikwels die eerste stap vir jong rugbyspelers om uiteindelik drome van provinsiale en selfs nasionale senior rugby na te jaag. Die hele M.L. Fick-gemeenskap, van die hoof tot die jongste leerder, staan bankvas agter Ruben terwyl hy sy Luiperds-trui met trots aantrek. Baie geluk, Ruben, mag hierdie net die begin wees van ’n blink rugbyloopbaan! #MLFickTrots #LuiperdsRugby #NoordwesRugby #RubenMinné #JongTalent #RugbySterre #PotchSport #GeesEnDissipline

The air in Potchefstroom is thick with anticipation as the Carien Broodryk Women’s League reaches its fever pitch. This coming Saturday, 16 May 2026, the hallowed turf of the Potch Dorp Home Grounds will play host to a monumental semi-final encounter. The home favorites, Potch Dorp Women’s Rugby, are set to lock horns with a formidable Ikageng Women’s side in a match that promises to be a masterclass in grit, skill, and tactical prowess. With a spot in the grand final on the line, both teams are expected to leave everything on the field in pursuit of provincial glory. The Road to the Semi-Finals The journey to this penultimate stage has been a grueling testament to the growth of women’s rugby in the region. Potch Dorp has navigated a season defined by consistency and physical dominance. Their campaign has been built on a foundation of structured forward play and clinical finishing in the backline. Throughout the round-robin stages, the "Pride of Potch" has demonstrated an ability to grind out results under pressure, a trait that will be vital come Saturday afternoon. On the other side of the pitch, Ikageng Women have proven themselves to be the ultimate competitors. Known for their explosive pace and tenacious defensive lines, Ikageng enters this semi-final as a team capable of upsetting any rhythm. The tactical battle between Potch Dorp’s structured approach and Ikageng’s flair is expected to be the deciding factor. As the number one and four seeds respectively in this specific bracket, the pressure is squarely on the hosts to defend their home ground against a hungry visiting side. Leadership in Focus: Captain Lara DeWet Central to the Potch Dorp strategy is their talismanic leader, Captain Lara DeWet. The club recently celebrated DeWet’s stellar individual performance following their match on 9 May, where she was officially named Player of the Match. DeWet’s influence extends far beyond her statistical contributions; she is the emotional heartbeat of the squad. Her ability to galvanize the team during the "dark minutes" of a match, those periods of intense physical exhaustion, has been a hallmark of Potch Dorp’s season. Leading by example, her work rate at the breakdown and her communication across the defensive line provide the stability her teammates rely on. As the team transitions from the regular season into the sudden-death atmosphere of the play-offs, DeWet’s experience and calm under fire will be the compass that guides Potch Dorp through the inevitable storms of the semi-final. The Carien Broodryk League Context The Carien Broodryk League has become a premier platform for female athletes to showcase their talents, and this weekend’s fixtures represent the pinnacle of that effort. While the clash at Potch Dorp Home Grounds takes center stage for local supporters, the league's second semi-final features Welkom vs. Matlosana, scheduled for the same day. The dual fixtures highlight the expanding footprint of the sport. For Potch Dorp, this isn't just about a single victory; it is about validating the "One Team, One Dream, One Purpose" mantra that has been plastered across their locker room walls all year. The technical staff has reportedly focused heavily on set-piece accuracy and discipline this week, knowing that semi-finals are often won or lost on the back of unforced errors and penalty counts. A Call to the Community Rugby in Potchefstroom has always been a community affair, and the club is making a concerted effort to ensure the stands are packed. Kick-off is scheduled for 13:00, a timeslot designed to draw in the local faithful. The club’s management has emphasized that the "16th player", the crowd, can be the difference-maker in a tight semi-final. The atmosphere at the Home Grounds is expected to be electric, with fans encouraged to bring the energy, pride, and passion that have become synonymous with the Potch Dorp brand. Supporting women’s rugby at this level is crucial for the continued development of the sport, and a high turnout on Saturday would send a powerful message about the strength of the local rugby culture. Potch Dorp Women’s Rugby stands on the precipice of greatness, led by a captain in peak form and backed by a season of hard work. Whether they can overcome the spirited challenge of Ikageng remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the Carien Broodryk Semi-Finals will be a spectacle of sport that no rugby enthusiast in the North West should miss. #PotchDorpRugby #WomensRugby #SemiFinals #CarienBroodrykLeague 🏉🦁🔥🏆

The JB Marks Local Municipality has officially released an updated load curtailment schedule effective from May 13 to May 18, 2026. This strategic intervention follows a period of heightened pressure on the local power grid, specifically involving the 66 kV infrastructure and the primary transformer at the Potch DS Substation. According to municipal notices, the rotation is a proactive measure designed to prevent total system failure while technical teams manage overheating issues and ongoing repairs.

When the first sharp cold front sweeps across the North West province, the transition from mild afternoons to freezing Highveld nights happens almost overnight. For homeowners in Potchefstroom, this shift usually triggers a frantic search for warmth. Image(Facebook) : BUCO Potchefstroom However, the secret to a comfortable winter doesn’t lie in reactive buying, but in strategic preparation. BUCO Potchefstroom has established itself as the definitive destination for residents looking to fortify their homes against the chill, offering a comprehensive approach to winter readiness under a single roof. The Strategy of Heat Retention Most people focus on generating heat, but the most cost-effective way to stay warm is to prevent the heat you already have from escaping. This is where the concept of "winter-proofing" becomes essential. A home that hasn’t been properly sealed or insulated functions like a bucket with holes; no matter how much energy is poured in, the warmth simply drains away. BUCO Potchefstroom addresses this by providing the specific materials needed to seal a home’s "envelope." This includes: Ceiling and Roof Insulation: Since heat rises, an uninsulated roof is the primary culprit for heat loss. Installing high-quality bulk insulation can significantly stabilize indoor temperatures. Geyser Efficiency: In the dead of winter, geysers work overtime. Utilizing specialized blankets can reduce energy consumption by preventing heat dissipation from the water tank. Draught Prevention: Small gaps under doors or around window frames allow icy air to seep in. Simple DIY applications of weatherstripping and door seals can transform a drafty room into a sanctuary. Image(Facebook) : BUCO Potchefstroom Choosing the Right Heating Source Beyond structural integrity, the method of heating a home is a personal choice based on room size, safety preferences, and energy costs. The local climate in Potchefstroom often requires a multi-pronged approach. For large, open-plan living areas, gas heating remains a popular choice due to its ability to provide instant, intense warmth without relying on the electrical grid,a vital consideration during peak demand periods. Conversely, for smaller spaces like home offices or bedrooms, electric and infrared solutions offer a more localized and controllable heat source. For those who prefer the traditional ambiance and dry heat of a fireplace, the necessity of having the right accessories and seasoned fuel becomes paramount as the frost sets in. The One-Stop Convenience Factor The "One-Trip" philosophy is what sets BUCO apart. Instead of visiting multiple specialty stores, residents can find technical building supplies alongside lifestyle heating products. This convenience is particularly valuable when the weather turns suddenly, and the urgency to secure a home increases. By positioning themselves as a problem-solver rather than just a retail outlet, the team at BUCO helps locals navigate the technical aspects of home maintenance, ensuring that the products purchased are the right fit for the specific architectural needs of Potchefstroom homes. Winter is here. BUCO has everything you need, under one roof. Community-Centric Expertise BUCO Potchefstroom emphasizes practical, helpful advice over simple commercialism. This approach focuses on educating the homeowner. Whether it is a quick tutorial on how to apply window seals or a deep dive into the benefits of different insulation R-values, the goal is to empower the community to make their homes more efficient. As the mercury drops, the importance of a proactive winter plan cannot be overstated. By focusing on insulation, draught-proofing, and efficient heating, Potchefstroom residents can ensure their homes remain a refuge of warmth. For those ready to face the cold head-on, a single visit to BUCO provides the tools, the tech, and the peace of mind to weather any storm the season brings.

The National Council of Provinces (NCOP) officially launched its high-impact "Taking Parliament to the People" programme today, Tuesday, 12 May 2026, at the Spirit Word House in Stilfontein. Running from today until Friday, 15 May, the NCOP is urging all community members from Matlosana and JB Marks to utilize this window of opportunity to engage directly with the government. The initiative represents a significant move to bring the machinery of national government directly to the doorsteps of residents within the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District. Hosted under the banner “Celebrating 30 Years of the Constitution: Deepening Participatory Democracy for Service Delivery,” this week offers residents a rare platform to confront elected officials, including NCOP delegates, Cabinet Ministers, and provincial leaders—regarding persistent challenges facing their specific wards and neighborhoods. Image: South African Police Service Localized Focus on Infrastructure and Rights The sessions are designed to tackle the most pressing issues affecting local households. Key discussions and oversight visits will prioritize: Water and Sanitation: Addressing supply interruptions and infrastructure maintenance in local townships. Roads and Electricity: Evaluating the progress of road repairs and the stability of the local power grid. Human Settlements: Reviewing housing backlogs and the quality of recent housing projects. Healthcare and Economic Development: Identifying opportunities for local job creation and improving local clinic services. Direct Government Services for Residents In an effort to turn the event into a "one-stop shop" for civic needs, the South African Police Service (SAPS) and various government departments have deployed units to the Spirit Word House site. Residents can currently access essential services on-site, including the certification of documents, commissioning of affidavits, and applications for identity documents and social grants. Voter registration assistance is also being provided by participating departments. The North West PROVJOINT, a combined security force, is maintaining a high-visibility presence to ensure the safety of all participants and to facilitate the smooth flow of the daily proceedings, which run from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily. Image: City of Matlosana Presidential Keynote and Public Accountability The week of intense public engagement will reach its peak on Friday, 15 May, when President Cyril Ramaphosa arrives in Stilfontein to deliver a keynote address during a special plenary session. This session is expected to provide a roadmap for how national government intends to intervene in local service delivery failures and bolster the rights enshrined in the Constitution. With transport provided throughout the district, the programme serves as a vital constitutional exercise in cooperative governance. It is a critical moment for the public of Matlosana and JB Marks to move beyond grievances and participate in the active oversight of those responsible for the development of their communities.

There is a specific kind of magic that happens inside a boutique grooming salon in Baillie Park. It begins with the arrival of a scruffy, perhaps slightly matted "woef" and ends with the departure of a gleaming, fluffy showstopper. Image(Facebook) : Esmi's Pet Grooming This dramatic transformation is the heart of Esmi’s Pet Grooming, a business that has recently been cemented as a community staple after winning the "Best of Potch" Readers' Choice Award for 2025. The Science of the Transformation While the visual change is what captures the attention of passersby on Bremner Street, the team at Esmi’s views the process through a scientific lens. The salon, founded by Esmi Bronkhorst, operates on the principle that grooming is a vital pillar of preventative healthcare rather than just a cosmetic luxury. One of the standout features of their service is the focus on scientific deshedding. In the fluctuating climate of Potchefstroom, many owners are tempted to shave their pets to keep them cool. However, the experts at Esmi’s advocate for specialized combing techniques that remove the stifling undercoat while leaving the protective guard hairs intact. This ensures the animal can regulate its body temperature naturally, proving that a "Wow" transformation is as much about function as it is about fashion. Beyond the Brush: A Holistic Health Check Every "Van Woef tot Wow" journey involves a comprehensive physical assessment. Because the groomers spend extended periods with each pet, they are often the first to detect: Skin Irritations: Identifying allergies or hot spots before they require veterinary intervention. Podiatry Needs: Ensuring nails are clipped to a precision length to protect joint health and gait. Early Anomalies: Spotting unusual lumps or parasites that are often hidden under thick coats. Image(Facebook) : Esmi's Pet Grooming A Social Media Sensation Recognizing that pet transformations are the most engaging content format in the industry worldwide, Esmi’s has launched a signature transformation series. This digital campaign uses quick, punchy video reels to show the satisfying journey from arrival to reveal. By setting these transformations to trending audio and high-energy edits, the salon has turned the "chore" of grooming into a spectator sport for the Potchefstroom community. This social-first approach extends to their clients through the "Pet Parent of the Week" feature. By highlighting a different pet and their owner each week, the salon fosters a sense of local pride. It gives owners a reason to share their pet’s new look, turning every groomed dog into a walking advertisement for the salon’s "gentle approach" philosophy. The Gentle Approach What truly sets the salon apart is the environment Esmi has curated. Unlike high-volume franchises where noise and pace can overwhelm a sensitive animal, this salon prioritizes a low-stress, quiet atmosphere. This is particularly crucial for senior pets or those with grooming anxiety. By managing appointments to ensure no pet is rushed, the "Van Woef tot Wow" experience remains a positive, spa-like event rather than a stressful ordeal.
