SPEAK UP ◾ According to the DA, locals are set to pay significantly more in property rates than homeowners in major metros like Sandton and Cape Town, following the approval of an "unfunded" 2026/27 Matlosana budget.

According to DA Caucus Leader Gerhard Strydom, a homeowner with a property valued at R1 million in Matlosana will pay R1 371.16 per month starting July 1.
By comparison, the same R1 million property would cost a homeowner approximately R440.41 in Sandton and R235.65 in Cape Town.

GOOD NEW️S ◾ Local legend Aubrey Kruger has just conquered his 14th Comrades Marathon, finishing the grueling 85.777km course in 11:51 to earn the Vic Clapham medal. But for Aubrey, this race wasn’t just about the miles - it was about the mission.

Running as part of the Activities 4 Bibles (A4B) campaign for the Bible Society of South Africa, Aubrey has already raised an incredible R19 811.77!

He is now just a few steps away from his goal of R21 000. Reaching this milestone will ensure that more than 200 people receive their very own Bible. "It was a huge privilege to run for this cause. Help us reach R21 000 or more," says Aubrey.

UPDATE ◾ Following the post below, we received an update regarding the driver of the Ford Ranger involved in the accident,

While reports from the police suggest the driver fled the scene, a friend of the driver has clarified that this was not the case. "Due to there being only one ambulance on-site - which was occupied with the two seriously injured occupants of the Landcruiser - friends transported the Ranger driver to the hospital privately.''

We have confirmed that he has yet to give a statement to the investigating officer.

WATCH ◾ This horrific accident took place at the corner of Central and Williams Street, Klerksdorp in the early hours of Sunday morning June 21. Two young people in the Landcruiser were injured after the driver lost control of the vehicle. The Ford Ranger then crashed into the Cruiser.

The driver of the Landcruiser suffered head trauma and his passenger, a young woman, some minor injuries. He is still in hospital.

Reports indicate that the driver of the Ranger fled the scene on foot, but here is the twist: his name and cellphone number are printed on the back of the bakkie.

Police are investigating a case of reckless and negligent driving.
