Avonturier Dave van Graan het nog ‘n mylpaal bereik toe hy die 1 000 km merk van sy epiese 1 600 km staptog vanaf Ruacana tot by Victoria Valle hierdie week verbygesteek het.
The Vhembe District Municipality is in shambles. Apart from continuous strikes, non-existent service delivery and allegations of massive fraud, the Auditor-General (AG) has stopped short of describing their bookkeeping as being in total chaos.
“Nothing but glorified stealing!” This is how well-known businessman Mr Robert Rauch from Louis Trichardt describes the property rates he is being charged monthly according to the latest valuation roll for 2018 to 2023 which came into effect on 1 July last year.
