Die bus en vier kinders besoek Colesberg Vat jou goed en trek…van Niekerk! ❑ Corné van Noordwyk COLESBERG: Verbeel jouself jy en jou gesin neem ‘n bus, omskep hom in ‘n ‘leef-bus’ en begin reis, tot sovêr as 200km per maand? Klink dalk vir jou onmoontlik? Wel, vir die van Niekerk gesin was dit ‘n lewenslange droom, wat hulle onlangs verwesenlik het. Hulle noem hulle self op die wêreld-wye web #4kidsandabus en maak landswyd opslae met hierdié unieke konsep.Sonja van Niekerk verduidelik in kort: “Ek en my man Rheinholdt, was Hoërskool liefdes, wat graag soveel as moontlik tyd saam met ons vier kinders, Katie (7) die oudste, Kaden (5) ons enigste seun, opgevolg deur twee meisies, Kayla en Karlien (albei nou 2jaar oud), wou spandeer. Toe besluit ons om ‘n bus te koop en die res is geskiedenis…” Volgens die gesin het die ‘leefstyl’ ongelooflike baie voordele, maar daar is ook so paar nadele. “Die bus is geweldig
swaar op brandstof en ons top-spoed is beperk tot op 80km per uur. Afhangende van die provinsie en paaie kry ons maar 3 to 5km per liter diesel. Dit is waarom ons slegs 200km per maand probeer aflê en bly tussen 2 to 3 weke op een plek.” Sonja lag en sê: “Die voordele is egter prysloos! Die voordeel dat ons in ‘n bus (Ons Ark) woon is, ons trek elke maand sonder om regtig ‘te trek’, ons uitsig vanuit elke venster verander en is asemrowend, klein spasie beteken ons kan as ‘n gesin naby mekaar wees, daar is minder skoonmaak spasie, ons kinders se speelgrond strek oor die hele land, ons ontmoet wonderlike mense langs ons roetes wat ons ry en dorpe waar ons stop en ons reis ons hele land vol, sonder om ons huis te verlaat.” Volgens die foto’s wat die gesin daagliks op sosiale media plaas, kan mens sien dat die ervaring een reuse avontuur is. Die kinders ry fiets, speel in die sand, swem en leer soos hulle deur die land
reis. Die gesin is onlangs deur die SABC 3 tv-kanaal genader om ‘n dokumentêr oor die gesin op kamera vas te lê. Die gesin het op die prog ‘The Insider’ verskyn Maandag 26 April. “Die filmspan en al die kamera’s was iets wat die gesin nog nooit ervaar het nie en was vir die kinders baie opwindend.” Die gesin gaan binnekort Colesberg besoek en het op hulle amptelike Facebook gevra of ‘n plaaslike boer dalk die gesin, met hulle bus, op hulle plaas sal kan ‘huisves’. Hulle is ook bereid om by ted ra met uitgawes. Wees gerus op die uitkyk vir die gesin se dubbel-vlak geel bus waarin hulle toer. Volg sommer gerus die gesin se daaglikse avonture deur hulle op die internet te volg of op Facebook: 4KIDSANDABUS (Sien gerus die foto’s op Bladsy 4 wat ‘n paar hoogtepunte van die gesin se reis uitbeeld!)

Truckers can sleep safe in Colesberg
PICTURE: FACEBOOK
COLESBERG: Recently a trucker who had to overnight in Colesberg at the Caltex filling station, shared a very heartwarming story with his co-truckers. He claimed that about a week ago he was approached by a local that goes by the name Johannes. He offered to wash the driver’s ‘horse’ in exchange for a loaf of bread. He told the guy that truckers need something else and, a brand-new initiative started. “I told Johannes that truckers are always concerned about their safety and the safety of their cargo, so I offered him a decent tip in exchange to look after my truck while I was taking my routine nap.” Colesberg is a very convenient stop for
trucks on the long road. “I then assured Johannes that if he makes sure he is here at the Caltex around day fall, he can offer to look after several of the trucks and receive decent tips from the drivers. I assured him that I will spread the word and makes sure we support him.” The trucker was advised by Johannes not to share a photograph of him on social media because other locals will target him and pick on him. One trucker was so happy about the fact that he could have a decent night of sleep without worrying about his safety, that he blessed him with his old cellphone. “Spread the word, sleep safe…and remember to tip Johannes!”

Covid-19 cluster outbreaks in these 3 provinces

NORTHERN CAPE: Health Minister Zweli Mkhize on Tuesday (27 April 2021) said there were several COVID-19 cluster outbreaks in mines, schools, and townships in three provinces, which health experts were monitoring closely. The Northern Cape, the Free State, and the North West have recorded a significant spike in daily new coronavirus infection rates over the last few weeks. Mkhize said it could be

attributed to the Easter holiday break where the virus spread faster. “These increases show that we’re still at risk and, therefore, we must keep using masks, social distancing more now than ever. "The sense of complacency of people feeling that we’re fine and were without problems… we must remove that thinking because it is going to cause us an earlier surge, which we could’ve actually delayed.”
