Die 40ste jaarlikse rugbyderby tussen die Hoër Tegniese Skool Sasolburg en die Hoërskool Sasolburg het soos oudergewoonte honderde toeskouers en oud-leerlinge gelok. Die Big Brag voor die afskop van die hoofwedstryd om 20:00 was voorwaar ‘n skouspel van klank en kleur. Oud en jonk het nostalgie en heimwee beleef en hulle self ingeleef in die opbou tot die groot kragmeting. Die Hoërskool Sasolburg het die wed- stryd uiteindelik met 31-10 gewen, maar die tweestryd was nie so eensydig soos wat die eindtelling wil voorgee nie.

Bejaarde dames wat in Berninistraat net buite die middedorp woon, het Vaalweekblad onlangs uit nood gekontak. Hulle straat is vol slaggate en maak dit dus vir hulle baie moeilik om oor die weg te kom. Een van die dames, mev. Marie Rhynders (81) is in ‘n rolstoel en die ander dame, Magda Oosthui- zen (59) versorg haar. Die kanse is skraal dat die stadsraad die slaggate sal vul. Indien daar enige plaaslike sakeman of inwoner is wat die dames kan help, sal dit hul lewe aansienlik makliker maak. Magda kan by 081 8464 622 gekontak word.
