For many residents in Klerksdorp, Potchefstroom, and the surrounding North West regions, the conversation around personal safety often leads to a single, daunting question: "How do I actually get a firearm license?" Image(Facebook) : Impact Alpha Training Centre While the desire for self-protection is common, it is frequently eclipsed by the perception that South African firearm laws are an impenetrable thicket of red tape. Impact Alpha Training Centre stands as the definitiv

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.

The history of Klerksdorp is inextricably linked to the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902), a conflict that introduced a devastating military strategy known as the "Scorched Earth" policy. While the town’s stock exchange represented the height of colonial ambition, the concentration camps established on its outskirts represented the nadir of human suffering in the region.

Before the skyscrapers of Johannesburg dominated the horizon, there was Klerksdorp. Established in 1837 on the banks of the Schoonspruit ("Clear Stream"), it is the oldest European settlement in the former Transvaal.

Today, Klerksdorp stands as a resilient survivor, bridging the gap between its agrarian r

The NW N12 Marathon Series hits a milestone on 2 May 2026, marking its fifth anniversary since the inaugural 2022 event. This year, the series presents a four-in-one race edition that serves both the elite athlete chasing a Comrades Marathon qualifying time and the casual walker looking for a Saturday morning stroll.
