Goudveld Rekord geloods VANDAG word die Goudveld Rekord geloods nadat 5 plaaslike Rekord koerante saamgevoeg is om die nuwe digitale Streekskoerant te loods. Die besluit is geneem nadat Rekord Media sy sake model aangepas het om by die behoefte van die adverteerder op die platteland in te pas. In die afgelope vyf jaar het verskeie besighede op die platteland hulle

deure gesluit wat die behoefte geskep het vir besighede in naburige dorpe om hulle dienste in die dorpe te adverteer. Vir kerke, skole, klubs en nie winsgewende organisasies is die goeie nuus omrede die area waarin u bydrae nou verskyn duisende meer lesers gaan bereik. ‘n Opname is ook gedoen in die dorpe waar Rekord ‘n koerant uitgee wat aangedui het dat

‘n groot getal lesers in die 5 dorpe aankope in Welkom doen en dus was dit vir ons die logiese keuse om die dorpe om Welkom saam te voeg in ‘n streeks koerant waar adverteerders van Welkom die platform kry om hulle dienste/produkte te adverteer tot voordeel en die gerief van ons lesers. Die koerant slaan ook van ‘n A4 blad formaat na ‘n ponie koerant

(tabliod) formaat oor. Die koerant spog ook met ‘n nuwe meer moderne uitleg en formaat. Nuus inhoud sal nog steeds volgens bydraes van korrespondente, organisasies, klubs en vrywillige bydraes gedoen word. Rekord is bewus dat skole sensitief is oor die plasing van ander skole nuus in hulle dorpe maar ons beleid is om die skole wat nuus beskikbaar stel

aan Rekord vir plasing die blootstelling te gee. Die skuif raak egter nie die 19 koerante se Facebook blad en WhatsApp groepe nie wat nog steeds apart bestuur gaan word. Die koerant sal nog steeds op Maandae verskyn met die sperdatum vir nuus en advertensie Vrydae 17:00.

Water challenges slow bucket project down The Department of Water and Sanitation is faced with the challenge of the pending bulk sewer construction in the Free State to advance the Bucket Eradication Project. In addition, toilets have to be connected to sewer lines. According to Dr Tshidiso Ntili, provincial manager of the department, sewerage infrastructure will be installed in Ficksburg, Senekal, Clocolan, Arlington, Petrus Steyn and Reitz to advance the project. Ntili said the water service authority intervened through the Water Supply Infrastructure Grant for funding of the construction of bulk sewers. According to him, insufficient water supply remains a serious challenge to the eradication of the bucket system. He said approximately 10 202 toilets are unable to flush due to the insufficient water supply caused by the pending construction of bulk sewer. To date, about 22 194 buckets have been replaced since the implementation of the eradication project in 2013. Of these, 11 992 have been replaced with flushing toilets. The Bucket Eradication Project is implemented in several towns in the Matjhabeng, Phumelela, Setsotso, Ngwathe, Naledi, Mohokare, Nketoana and Kopanong local municipalities, as well as the Mangaung Metro. According to Ntili, large strides have been made in Virginia and Hennenman (Matjhabeng), where 1 055 buckets and 568 buckets respectively have been replaced with flushing toilets. In Memel (Phumelela Municipality), 373 buckets have been replaced with flushing toilets. The department has eradicated 820 buckets in Lindley, and 583 in Marquard. Although 218 toilets in Ficksburg are unable to flush due to a lack of water supply, Ntili said significant progress has been made in that 1 251 buckets have been replaced. “The Water Services Authority developed two business plans for the conversion of the Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) to waterborne toilets through the Municipal Infrastructure Grant,” said Ntili. “Approximately 500 VIP toilets still need to be converted into waterborne toilets.

A contractor is working on the connection.”

He said the department has completed the construction of 554 toilets in Vredefort (Ngwathe Municipality) and 55 in Rouxville (Mohokare Municipality), adding that they were flushing.

Altogether 188 flushing toilets were constructed in Theunissen, 962 in Hertzogville, 302 in Boshoff, 243 in Reddersburg, 33 in Fauresmith, 404 in Cornelia, 252 in Tweeling, 1 150 in Villiers and 1 915 in Frankfort. Courtesy: Express

AfriForum se Hoogland-buurtwagte neem aan nasionale patrollie deel Die AfriForum-buurtwagte in Bultfontein, Harrismith, Odendaalsrus, Welkom, Winburg, die Sandrivierdistrik en Ventersburg het op 4 Oktober 2019 aan dié organisasie se nasionale patrollie deelgeneem om polisiëringsigbaarheid op te skerp. Die patrollie is tussen 18:00 en 06:00 in samewerking met die polisie, gemeenskapslede, verskeie sekuriteitsmaatskappye en ander veiligheidsinstansies in die onderskeie gebiede uitgevoer.

Die Hooglandbuurtwagte se betrokkenheid by die nasionale patrollie was ’n reusesukses.

Altesaam 235 patrolleerders het 4 116 km in 120 voertuie afgelê. Ses verkeersake is

aangemeld, wat uitstaande boetes en verkeersoortredings insluit.

“Die Hoogland-buurtwagte sal aanhou om veiligheidskwessies in dorpe op te los en sigbaarheid in die streek te verbeter. Veiligheid is baie belangrik in enige gemeenskap en die AfriForumtakke neem dit ook baie ernstig op.

Deur goeie samewerking tussen AfriForum-buurtwagte, die SAPD en ander rolspelers kan ons soveel meer bereik,” sê Jp Nel, AfriForum se assistentkoördineerder vir die Hoogland.

Afriski Presents Snow+Rock Enduro – the Mountain Event with Something for Everyone Thanks to Afriski Mountain Resort, the annual Snow+Rock Enduro Event is not only a wonderful experience for enduro motorcyclists but their families get to have fun too!

Supporting their favourite rider is just one of many activities that partners and kids can enjoy during the event, making Snow+Rock a wonderful family occasion.

Deep in Lesotho’s beautiful Maluti Mountains, Afriski has teamed up with Wild West Enduro Track to create an event that promises fun for beginners, a rewarding challenge for intermediate enduro riders and a chance for advanced bikers to hone their skills. “We’re delighted to be hosting Snow+Rock Enduro once again,” commented Peter Peyper, Afriski Sales & Marketing Director. “Of course, with Afriski being a year-round mountain resort, there’ll be plenty of activities for non-riders to enjoy, including kids’ play areas, monster rollers, abseiling and Lesotho cultural visits, to name but a few,” he added. By the end of October, when Snow+Rock takes place, the bracing cold of winter will have been replaced by gentler temperatures – making the great outdoors even more appealing. The event will represent a genuine challenge to enduro riders of every skill level and friends and family will have the option of following the race on a spectator-friendly tar road surrounded by beautiful scenery.

There are options to hit the hiking trails that are well marked or mountain bike trails, both offering a different way to see the countryside. “We’re certainly encouraging riders to bring their families to Snow+Rock Enduro,” said Francois Marais, one of the founders of the event and owner of Wild West Enduro Track. “As well as watching the riders tackle the mountains, partners and kids can enjoy their own adventures before heading to Africa’s highest restaurant to cool down with a Maluti beer or warm up with a mug of hot chocolate.” Afriski and nearby guest houses offer well-priced, extremely comfortable accommodation with stunning views and catering options including the Sky Restaurant at Afriski – Africa’s highest eatery.

Event Details Snow+Rock Enduro 2019 What: A 2-day motorcycle enduro event, featuring a Lowland Ride and an Altitude Ride.

When: October 25 – 27, 2019.

Where: Afriski Mountain Resort, Lesotho (and surrounding areas). Afriski is approximately 5½ hours by road from Johannesburg, 6 hours from Durban, or a 14hour drive from Cape Town.

Who: Novice, intermediate and advanced enduro riders and their families.

Cost: R750.00 per entry for the 2-day ride (includes goodie bag and exclusive Snow+Rock event T-shirt), no entrance fee charged for spectators.

How to enter the event: Visit www.racecontrol.co.za/ Other activities: Kids’ indoor and outdoor play areas, hiking, monster rollers, mountain bike trails, gorge jumping and river swimming, abseiling, 4x4 off-road routes, day trips to Katse Dam, fly-fishing and Lesotho cultural visits.

Accommodation options: a range of options at Afriski, from a backpacker lodge to ski chalets. See www.afriski.net/accommodation/ for details.
