16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM
Benoude katte maak glo benoude spronge. Dit verwys na wat tans by die Bolandrugbyunie aan die gang is, en is seker nie die laaste van die soort van spronge nie.

For the next two weeks South Africans are being asked to combat violence against women and children. The campaign will also endeavour to generate greater awareness of the negative impact of violence on the development of women and children. It further aims to emphasise the importance of partnerships between government and civil society in eradicating women and child abuse. Victims and survivors of violence will be provided with information about legislative services and other mechanisms which have been
Sluiting van skole na hof Die besluit van die Wes-Kaapse onderwysdepartement om 20 skole in Desember te sluit raak die plaaslike skole Bergrivier NGK en LK Zeeman Primêr. Dit kom ná die Wes-Kaapse onderwysminister Donald Grant se aankondiging dat verskeie skole gesluit gaan word, hoofsaaklik weens daling in leerlingtalle.
