Movember is part of their lives Festive bomb Tumi Riba [email protected]

Randfontein — Traffi c offenders will face the full might of the law and are guaranteed to face jail without any bail. This is the warning issued by Kenny Mampondo, chief of the Rand West p. 3 City Traffi c Department (RWCTD) who said his Department will join forces with other law-enforcement agencies to COMMUNITY adopt a zero-tolerance policy especially for drunk drivers this festive season. New hope for Mampondo said given the great num- abandoned ber of holiday-makers going to various destinations and more road users, his baby Department will intensify its operations and activities to curb crime and bring the situation under control, and most importantly, securing safety for all. “Drunk drivers will be arrested and some of them may possibly not spend the festive season with their families. We will go as far as opposing their bail applications so that they learn their lesson the hard way,” Mampondo warned. He added that the programmes p. 6 during the festive season will include joint roadblocks and walk-ins in the malls, CBD and continuous by-law SPORT enforcement.

Today, at the age of 25, Rikus said he would like to grow his beard down to his feet, “If possible even longer than that,” he jokingly remarked. Rikus said he was attracted to the idea of the beard from a very young age, and has embraced it ever since. “As I was growing up I used to see all my uncles’ big beards. I would look at them and say to myself that I want to grow my beard like that one day. So, that is where it all began,” Rikus said. Rikus proudly said it was for no other reason than that he is a man who loves a beard. “I am not planning on shaving it off. I really want a proper beard,” he said. It has only been seven months since Rikus started growing it, and so far he says even his wife wants him to let it grow. Rikus van Niekerk said he will grow his beard all the way down to his feet.

Off -road treat Glenharvie — Both Toyota and Ford were awarded with championship titles in the Production Vehicle Championship during the Gold 400 and fi nal round of the 2018 South African Cross Country Series. It was held in Glenharvie, Westonaria on Friday, 2 and Saturday, 3 November. According to Charmaine Fortune from the SA National Off Road Car Racing Association, the weekend delivered the nail-biting action as predicted and consisted of 375 tough kilometres on a tight and rocky route. The battle for the overall title between the two Toyota Gazoo Racing SA teams of Giniel de Villiers/ Dennis Murphy and Henk Lategan/ Barry White was nerve-wracking with De Villiers/ Murphy winning the 49km qualifying race on Friday but dropping back on Saturday after an early puncture cost them some valuable time. Although Lategan/ White were quick out of the blocks they had diffi culty fi nding the route early in Loop 1, and with Chris Visser/ Philip Herselman (Atlas Copco Toyota Hilux) taking an early lead in the second of the two 163km loops, De Villiers/ Murphy played it safe and their third overall win as well as a victory in Botswana resulted in them being crowned the 2018 overall Production Vehicle champions. Lategan/ White received a penalty for a route infringement on Loop 2 but still fi nished second. Their second place in the FIA Class resulted in them claiming this class championship title ahead of team-mates De Villiers/ Murphy. Read the full story on our website www.randfonteinherald.co.za.
