Evacuation at Matlosana Municipality
We received this video of the chaos at the municipal building in Klerksdorp this morning. The building was evacuated after a fire was started at the entrance to the building. Apparently disgruntled employees entered demanding that their overtime pay be paid...
DA councillors in Matlosana are pleading with Matlosana Municipality to get their ducks in a row and sort out the city's water department.
This leak on the corner of Lautz and Jansen Ave in La Hoff (ward 16) has turned into a small river. Cllr Jackie Basson said Matlosana repair teams have no vehicles. On top of that, they have downed tools due to non payment of overtime.
Midvaal Water came to the rescue to fix the pipe burst and prevent more water loss.

Noodroep tydens rooftog
LUISTER ◾ Tydens 'n rooftog by hul huis het 'n ma reggekry om om hulp te vra op 'n selfoon wat sy vir die rowers weggesteek het.

Riool spoel af in Orkney se hoofstraat
UPDATE - Blykbaar het 'n kontrakteur die toneel besoek en die rioolverstopping opgeklaar. Die drein loop nie meer nie. Nog verskeie ander rioollekke en -verstoppings op Orkney het egter nog nie aandag gekry nie.
KYK ◾ Inwoners van Orkney is woedend oor 'n aanhoudende riool-lek op die hoek van Milton- en Meredithstraat. Die probleem is al telkemale gerapporteer, word aandag aan gegee, maar die volgende dag lyk dit weer so. Dit hou 'n gevaar vir mens en dier in. Ondernemings kla oor die stank.
Water pipe burst
WATCH Earlier today a water pipe burst in Ian Street resulted in some damage to the infrastructure. Motorists are advised to use caution when travelling in the area.
WATCH ◾ Illegal miners continue to surface from an abandoned shaft near Stilfontein.
The zama-zamas started resurfacing from Friday night November 1 and at 12:00 (midday) on Sunday November 3, almost 600 have already surfaced (video supplied by SAPS). They have been placed under arrest.
According to information received, we understand that they are severely malnourished following a Vala Umgodi operation that stopped their supply of food. This forced them to resurface. Police and soldiers are monitoring all exit points that extend to Orkney and Stilfontein.
SAPS believe some of the Zama-Zamas have been underground for over a year.
The Acting National Commissioner of the SAPS, Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya has commended the teams on the ground
