Om ’n eeu te leef is buitengewoon, maar hierdie week vier Welkomiete die lewe van twee besonderse vroue wat albei 104 jaar oud word
Maria Boone en Bybie Fourie het op onderskeidelik Woensdag en Donderdag hul verjaardag gevier, maar om hierdie mylpaal meer besonders te maak, deel albei vroue ’ n pioniersavontuur
Die twee vroue deel ’ n band met die Goudstad se geskiedenis
Hulle het albei in 1951, so aan die begin van die bestaan van die gouddorp Welkom, saam met hul mans en nuwe gesinne hierheen verhuis om die onbekende hul nuwe tuiste te maak

Police seek help from the public
Thabong detectives are requesting public assistance in locating Thembile Zembu Sehoshe (29), a person of interest in a murder and attempted murder investigation following a fatal stabbing incident in Thubelisha
The investigation stems from an incident on Sunday 22 December 2024, when the 18-year-old Ntando Ntho was fatally stabbed whilst a 22-yearold male victim sustained serious stab wounds
At approximately 09:50, police members were summoned to reports of a murder in Thubelisha
Upon arrival at the scene, officers met with emergency services personnel who directed them to the body of Ntando, who was purportedly found lying motionless in a pool of blood with multiple stab wounds
According to information gathered at the scene, the second victim was transported to the local hospital for medical treatment after sustaining multiple stab wounds during the incident
The circumstances surrounding the attack remain under investigation as police work to establish the motive and sequence of events
The police believe that Sehoshe may be able to assist with their investigations into both cases
Authorities are treating him
as a person of interest and are actively seeking his whereabouts
Anyone with information that could help the police locate Sehoshe is requested to come forward immediately

Kies liefde nou en altyd
Ons almal weet dat liefde ’ n prys het’ n goeie een Wat ek nie altyd wil hê of doen nie het ook ’ n prys, maar as ek liefde kies, dan kry ek meer van my lewe
As ons sou kon kies om onbetrokke te leef, sou ons ’ n lewe van gevoelloosheid en harteloosheid kies, maar dit is nie hoe die Here ons geskep het nie
Ons is gemaak om lief te hê en om onsself te gee Daarom het liefde ’ n prys wat ons lewe meer sinvol maak
Liefde bring droefheid mee wanneer ons geliefdes ly en sterf Dit bring teleurstelling mee wanneer diegene naby aan ons ons in die steek laat
Ware liefde soos ons lees in 1 Korintiërs 13:4-7 sê: “Liefde is geduldig, liefde is vriendelik; dit is nie afgunstig nie, is nie grootpraterig nie, is nie verwaand nie Liefde handel nie onwelvoeglik nie, soek nie sy eie belang nie Liefde is nie liggeraak nie, hou nie boek van die kwaad nie Liefde verbly hom nie oor onreg nie, maar verheug hom oor die waarheid Liefde bedek alles, liefde glo alles, liefde hoop alles, liefde verdra alles”
Dit hou aan Dit begin weer en weer, vir die hoeveelste keer
In 1 Johannes 4:8-10 lees ons: “God is liefde Geliefdes, ons moet mekaar liefhê, want liefde kom van God, en elkeen wat liefhet, is ’ n kind van God en ken God Wie nie liefhet nie, het gee Hi

Constant piles of waste an eyesore
Dangerous environmental conditions at dump sites in Odendaalsrus and Allanridge, as well as at an illegal waste processing plant in Odendaalsrus, have become a source of significant concern and genuine distress for local communities
Residents express concern that neither the local nor district municipalities are taking adequate action to implement proper environmental regulations to ensure the safety of both the environment and the people living within it
Jessica Nel, DA councillor for the Matjhabeng Local Municipality, states that the municipality has persistently neglected waste management facilities, directly endangering surrounding communities, exacerbating public health risks, and accelerating environmental degradation
“During my oversight visit, I discovered that the facility was under lockdown due to a lack of personnel This has resulted in waste being dumped alongside the road leading to the facility by both the public and the refuse department,” Nel reported
The DA will submit a formal letter to the acting municipal manager, Thabo Panyani, compelling the municipality to restore environmental safety and ensure full compliance with environmental health regulations following the ongoing crisis at the Odendaalsrus Waste Management Facility
“This area is not zoned for waste dumping and thus violates numerous environmental regulations It poses a considerable health risk to pupils at the Eldoret Secondary School and residents of the nearby suburb,” Nel emphasised
Fire represents the most significant hazard, as the combustion of plastic waste produces toxic smoke that can be inhaled by residents The situation has already caused an infestation of rodents, snakes, and insects whilst potential fires could force these pests to seek refuge in nearby homes
At the Allanridge dumping site, similar waste problems persist caused by waste being dumped along roadsides According to site workers, the excavator is unavailable due to fuel shortages
“I have been championing environmental issues and reported earlier this
year on a recycling company in Josias Street, Odendaalsrus, that is operating illegally and in breach of environmental regulations
Despite numerous legal interventions to halt these operations and relocate the facility to an approved recycling zone, attempts have proved
futile,” Nel stated
“It is genuinely concerning that neither the local nor district municipality is taking action to implement proper environmental regulations to ensure the safety of the environment and the people living within it”
A request for further intervention will be submitted to the DA provincial leader in the Free State and to the MP for Agriculture and Environmental Affairs, Roy Jankielsohn
Nel emphasises that the Covid-19 pandemic demonstrated how fragile the environment can become and the devastating effect this has on human beings
“Unless all spheres of government begin taking the impact of environmental management seriously, we can be certain of more pandemic outbreaks and dreaded diseases
“We will remain a vigilant watchdog and advocate for environmental safety, promoting quality of life in our communities,” Nel concluded
The situation highlights critical failures in municipal waste management and environmental oversight, with potentially severe consequences for public health and environmental integrity across the Goldfields region

Storm brings with it great damage

A violent and destructive storm with massive hailstones and high winds struck Welkom, Odendaalsrus, and Virginia on Tuesday 2 December leaving a trail of uprooted trees and destroyed homes in its wake
Extensive tree damage
François Klaassen, the assistant fire chief of Matjhabeng, reported that he and his team received numerous reports of fallen trees across the Welkom area
These destroyed roofs, palisades, blocked roads, and crushed walls
Some residents were even unable to access their properties following the storm
Reportedly, more than 30 trees fell in Welkom during the storm, creating widespread disruption across the city
Klaassen noted that massive hailstones reportedly fell in Virginia, whilst fallen trees were reported in Odendaalsrus
Although the South African Weather Service (SAWS) had issued a Yellow Level 2 storm warning on Tuesday morning, Klaassen believes the storm
proved more violent than anticipated Power outage crisis
Strong winds, rain, and hail lashed the city for approximately half an hour, resulting in a power failure across large portions of the city that lasted some six hours
Residents reported between 16mm and 25mm of rainfall during the halfhour period
The power outage occurred on the Eskom side of the Welkom Park substation when the storm caused two insulators to "flash" and trip the electricity supply to Bedelia, Naudeville, Jan Cillierspark, and St Helena
This resulted in large portions of Welkom being blacked out Eskom technicians called to attend to this matter worked tirelessly to restore the supply and replace the affected insulators
In Welkom, roads flooded in Constantia, Human Motors circle, and Jan Hofmeyr opposite Hi-Q which impeded the flow of traffic
In Stateway, between the Deo Doxa Church and the Bedelia shopping complex, the road was inaccessible due to a large fallen tree
Power outages were also reported in Odendaalsrus
Recurring storm trauma
The violent storm that caused hundreds of thousands of rands in damage in Welkom on Friday, 14 November, remains fresh in residents' minds
When dark clouds gathered again on Tuesday, many residents were gripped by memories of that devastating November storm
The recurring severe weather events highlight the vulnerability of the region's infrastructure that always seem to fall victim to extreme weather conditions with long periods of recovery in between
