A Birthday, an Anniversary, and a Whole Lot of Music Potchefstroom's NG Miederpark Gemeente will be alive with the sound of music on 6 April 2025, as the “Music Go-Round” concert takes the stage. This home-grown production marks two big milestones: internationally acclaimed soprano Amira Willighagen’s 21st birthday, and the 10-year anniversary of her charity project, Gelukskinders. And yes, it’s not just about cake and candles. The organisers have gone full out with a musical tribute that hops across genres and time zones – hence the cheeky title “Music Go-Round,” a nod to the global musical journey and its merry-go-round style lineup. Local Kids, Big Roles This isn’t your average school play. The stage will be packed with young voices and faces from different walks of life, all drawn from the schools in and around Potch. The choir features singers aged 12 to 18, while the dancers hail from Ikalafeng School in Ikageng. And for those who’ve always wondered what a Potchefstroom version of The Sound of Music might look like – wonder no more. The Von Trapp family has been completely reimagined with local talent, with Amira herself starring as Maria, everyone’s favourite nun-turned-nanny. But wait, there’s more – she’ll also be donning the hat and umbrella of Mary Poppins later in the show. Her father, Gerrit Willighagen, will join her on the organ, just to keep it in the family. Local Stage, Local Crew Everything from the musical directing to the lighting and costume design is being handled by Potch locals. The show is proudly homegrown, and every costume, spotlight and sound cue is being handled by members of the community. The NG Miederpark Gemeente, known for its impressive organ (and acoustics that don’t mess around), is the venue for the evening. Nostalgia Meets Fresh Moves Expect plenty of nods to the classics – the cast will be kitted out in outfits that’ll bring instant memories of old-school musicals. But don’t get too comfy – the choreography’s going to flip expectations on their heads. It’s familiar, but with a twist. When, Where, and How Much? 📅 Date: 6 April 2025 🕕 Time: 18:00 📍 Venue: NG Miederpark Gemeente, 22 Aarbei Ave, Potchefstroom 🎟️ Tickets: R150 per person 🔗 Booking: Quicket Link There’s no shortage of heart in this production – it’s a community effort through and through. Whether you’re a die-hard musical fan or just keen to see the local kids shine, this one’s worth the ticket. And honestly, who says no to Mary Poppins, Maria, singing clocks and candle costumes all in one night?

Dutch concert organist Minne Veldman is heading back to South Africa for his seventh tour, bringing his renowned skills to audiences in Pretoria, Stellenbosch, Cape Town, Robertson, and Potchefstroom. Local music lovers will have the chance to experience his artistry on Wednesday, 19 February 2025, at NG Kerk Vyfhoek, Baillie Park, Potchefstroom. This recital is part of the NWU School of Music Concert Series 2025. A Rare Afternoon Treat Unlike most midweek concerts, which tend to be in the evening, this one kicks off at 3:00 PM. A bit of an unusual timeslot, but for those who can slip away in the afternoon, it's a golden opportunity to hear one of Europe’s finest organists without having to battle through peak-hour traffic afterwards. A Diverse Programme Veldman’s setlist for the afternoon includes a mix of classic and lesser-known works, featuring composers like Telemann, Nystrom, and German. He will also perform Bach’s First Trio Sonata, Handel’s ever-popular The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, Mendelssohn’s Sixth Sonata (which includes the famous variations on Vater Unser), and Boëllmann’s dramatic Suite Gothique. In a special touch, he will also play his own composition based on Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven. Veldman won’t be taking the stage alone—trumpeter Peet du Toit will join him for some of the programme, adding an extra layer of musical brilliance to the performance. Ticket Information Tickets are available via Quicket, priced at R130 for adults and R80 for pensioners and students. Whether you're an organ connoisseur or just someone who appreciates a good live performance, this promises to be a rewarding musical experience. Veldman’s performances are known for their technical precision and expressive depth, making this an event worth marking on the calendar.

Residents of the JB Marks Local Municipality are experiencing water shortages due to low levels at the Eersterandjies Reservoirs. The local municipality has confirmed that this situation is particularly affecting high-lying areas, including Extension 11, where water supply disruptions have been reported.

In response, the municipality has deployed water tankers to affected areas as a temporary relief measure while efforts to restore reservoir levels continue. While the exact cause of the drop in water levels has not been disclosed in detail, factors such as increased demand, infrastructure issues, or climate-related changes could be contributing to the problem. Residents are urged to use water sparingly and report any issues with tanker deliveries to local authorities. Stay Informed As the JB Marks Municipality continues its efforts to restore water levels, residents are urged to remain vigilant, conserve water, and stay informed about further developments. The municipality encourages affected individuals to report urgent water supply issues and tanker shortages.

'n Kykie na Vinc's Se Dinge openbaar 'n inspirerende verhaal van uitbreiding, vernuwing en volgehoue toewyding. Image: The Go To Guy Creations In 2004 het Vincent Judd 'n klein onderneming begin met die koop en verkoop van landboutoerusting en skrootmetaal. Die groei was so vinnig dat 'n groot perseel van 18,000 vierkante meter aangekoop is om aan die groeiende voorraad en uitbreidingsbehoeftes te voldoen. Deesdae, onder leiding van Conrad Viljoen, is Vinc's Se Dinge 'n erkende verskaffer van beide klein en groot gebruikte plaastoerusting in die streek. 'n Nuwe Era en Innovasie neem vorm In 2022 het die Judd-familie geëmigreer en het Viljoen die leierskap oorgeneem. Met sy bestuur het die maatskappy hul aktiwiteite uitgebrei deur nie net plaaslik te handel nie, maar ook deur landbou-, boerdery- en industriële toerusting aan buurlande te verskaf. Die drang na innovasie het ook tot die ontwikkeling van hul eie toerusting gelei. Vier jaar gelede het Vinc's Se Dinge begin om hul eie snyers en hooimakers te vervaardig, wat wissel van 1.2 meter tot 2.1 meter. Hierdie produkte kan aangepas word om aan kliëntspesifikasies te voldoen, insluitend die keuse van kleure en die tipe lemme en ratkaste wat gebruik word. Image: Vinc's Se "Dinge" Facebook Vertroue en Kwaliteit: Sleutels tot Sukses Vinc's Se Dinge het 'n lojale kliëntebasis opgebou deur betroubare diens en produkgehalte. Met jare lange ervaring, uitstekende naverkoopdiens, en 'n persoonlike benadering tot elke kliënt, bly hulle 'n betroubare naam in die industrie. Die maatskappy se besigheidsmodel beklemtoon veilige en betroubare transaksies, wat verder vertroue onder hul kliënte bevorder. Hoe Dit Werk: 'n Doeltreffende Proses Vir diegene wat hul toerusting wil verkoop, bied Vinc's Se Dinge 'n eenvoudige en doeltreffende driestap-proses: stuur 'n foto van die produk, reël 'n ontmoeting, en indien die produk aan standaarde voldoen, maak hulle 'n aanbod en koop dit. Image: Vinc's Se "Dinge" Facebook Afsluiting Vinc's Se Dinge het bewys dat hulle nie net kan oorleef in 'n mededingende mark nie, maar ook kan floreer deur aan te pas by veranderende omstandighede en deur innoverend te bly. Hierdie besigheid gaan verder as net die koop en verkoop van toerusting; dit dra by tot die opbou van 'n gemeenskap en die versterking van die landbousektor in die Noordwes en daarbuite.

Die Donkie kry sy sê Vanjaar se Paastyd in Klerksdorp kry ’n bietjie van ’n ander aanslag. The B Gallery bring vir die publiek ’n geestelike uitstalling met die titel "As die Donkie kon Praat". Dis nie net ’n snaakse naam nie – daar’s eintlik ’n baie diep boodskap agter dit alles. Die donkie, daai stil ou werkdier wat altyd agter die skerms was, het eintlik ’n groot rol gespeel in baie Bybelse stories. Dink maar aan Jesus se intog in Jerusalem – op ’n donkie nogal. The B Gallery het besluit dis tyd dat dié nederige dier ’n bietjie erkenning kry. Wat kan jy verwag? Die uitstalling is nie net mooi kuns nie – dis kuns met betekenis. Kunstenaars van die streek het saamgespan om verskillende werke te skep wat die donkie se rol in die Bybel ondersoek. Dis nie net vir die baie kerklike mense nie – enige iemand wat hou van stories, simboliek en ’n bietjie skerp waarneming sal iets hier vind om oor te praat. Die plek en tyd Maak seker jy stoor die datum: 📍 Vrydag, 11 April 2025 🕖 19:00 📌 The B Gallery, 6 Michaelstraat, Wilkoppies, Klerksdorp Bring net jouself, dalk ’n vriend of twee, en kom kyk wat die donkie sou sê as hy kon praat. Oor die gallery The B Gallery is nogal iets besonders vir Klerksdorp. Dis nie net ’n plek waar jy na kuns kyk en dan verdwyn nie – dis ’n platform vir plaaslike kunstenaars om hul werk te wys aan mense regoor die wêreld. Hulle het ook ’n aanlyn gallery vir die ouens wat nie altyd tyd het om in te loer nie, maar steeds iets mooi vir hul mure wil hê. Kontak en media As jy nog vrae het, of net bietjie meer info wil hê: 🌐 Webblad: www.thebgallery.co.za 📘 Facebook: facebook.com/TheBgalleryonMichael 📞 Telefoon: 018-462-9155 📧 E-pos: info@thebgallery.co.za "As die Donkie kon Praat" is dalk ’n kunsuitstalling, maar dis ook ’n gesprek – een wat jou laat dink oor eenvoud, simboliek en hoe ons dikwels die stil karakters in stories misreken. Hierdie een is nie net vir kunskenners nie, dis vir enige iemand wat hou van iets met ’n bietjie diepte... en dalk ’n lag of twee ook. Kyk, dis nie elke dag dat ’n donkie vir jou preek nie.
