Jaco "Kaalvoet" Swart wat reeds vir byna ‘n jaar om Suid-Afrika loop, is pas by Steenbokpan naby Lephalale verby, kaalvoet natuurlik! Hy het menige Bosvelders ‘n tweede keer laat omkyk. Die bosveldpaaie is warm, stowwerig en klipperig. Maar Swart stap al langs die grenspaaie af, sonder bekommernis oor waar hy gaan slaap, vertel hy. Hy getuig van Suid-Afrikaners se gasvryheid teenoor hom. Swart gesels graag oor sy geloof, wat hom hierdie lang pad laat aanpak het.

The Young Communist League (YCL) in Capricon District, known as Castro Pilusa, is gunning for Capricorn District Municipal (CDM) Manager, Ms Merriam Molala.
To add insult to injury the YCL is calling for Molala’s suspension with immediate effect.
YCL was infuriated by an incident earlier this month when businessperson, Mr Daniel Renky Seuname was sentenced to ten years imprisonment for fraud and money laundering involving a R4,5 million fraudulent transfer from CDM.
