Vroeg uit die vere was die wagwoord vir deelnemers aan 'n plesierige dag tydens die plaaslike NG Kerk se Pretdag op 25 Februarie 2017 wat by die hoërskool afgeskop het.
Hierdie reëlings het alles gegaan oor fondsinsameling vir die kinderhuise Jan-nie Roux in Barkly-Wes en Tsolofelo in Daniëlskuil wat onder die Noord-Kaap kin-derhuise, wat bestuur word deur Caritas Gemeenskapsfokus in Kimbersley, val. Die NG Kerk se Ds Keydy O'Callaghan en René van Niekerk van die Fietsry & Drafklub het aan die roer van sake ge-staan met menige helpers om met alles en by elke waterpunt hulle deel by te dra. 76 deelnemers het die bergfietsafstande, wat oor 15km, 30km en 60km gestrek het en 100 deelnemers wat die stap/drafafstande oor 5km, 10km, en 15km strek, aangedurf. Agt van die 10km drawwers het die pad so bietjie byster geraak en in 'n wildkamp beland, waarna hul toe sommer die 15km afstand aangedurf het . . . wys jou net. Daar was ook pretdraf- en fietsryitems vir die jongspan op die hoërskool se sport-terrein. Deelnemers het uit Postmasburg, Lime Acres, Daniëlskuil, Kathu, Kuruman en Blackrock vir die dag gekom om tot die sukses by te dra. Die uitstekende fietsryroetes het oor plase en wildskampe om die dorp gestrek. Daar was 7 lafenisse (waterpunte) wat oasesse vir die meedoeners was. Die kinders was bederf met goeie pryse, geluktrekkings en almal het medaljes gekry. Die mooi bedrag van R47 700 is vir die kinderhuise ingesamel met hierdie pret-tige, geslaagde geleentheid. Dis nou mooi meelewing vir 'n goeie doel.

Operations at Kathu Solar Park (which is nearing 25% completion) are being thwarted by workers demanding new bonuses. This comes as the fixed term contract for installing foundations is drawing closer.Workers from one subcontractor are dissatisfied with this prospect as they will be without jobs when their fixed term contracts end. They believe they are even entitled to back bonuses, since September 2016 even though these benefits do not form part of their contracts.
With 6 weeks left in their contract, these writers downed tools and started protesting at the main entrance to the Kathu Solar Park. They overturned the security cubicle as well as portable toilets and laid branches and stones across the public T25 road.
Several attempts at negotiation were unsuccessful in reaching the agreement and finally, a hearing was organized for the protesters by their company according to Labour Law. It was found though that the demands were unwarranted and that they had participated in unlawful behavior They were dismissed and replacement workers were hired. The dismissed workers were not happy with this outcome and continued their protest action. On Tuesday 07 March 2017 the plant was deserted with only security personnel left, as the protester had become violent. The public is warned to use caution when using the public T-25 road as the Situation is still unsettled.
