What is even more amazing, is the fact that he has been selected five times, which is quite an achievement. “I honestly wasn’t expecting to be selected this year,” said Klopper. “I’ve just moved into a new age group (U23), and with the transition to university life at the University of Cape Town, there were a lot of changes and challenges to navigate.

Frustration is mounting among residents in Fourways as taxi drivers continue to disregard traffic rules, using pedestrian and cyclist walkways to bypass bumper to bumper traffic.

Lonehill Dam breathes again after months being choked by Kariba weed

2 weeks ago | citizen.co.za | Ditiro Masuku

It all began quietly in November last year, just another early summer in the area, until something strange started happening at Lonehill Dam. A thick, green carpet began spreading across the water, inch by inch, until it swallowed the entire surface.

Lonehill resident targeted in water scam after months without access

3 weeks ago | citizen.co.za | Ditiro Masuku

Thea Swann, a Lonehill resident, narrowly avoided a sophisticated scam, involving a fake City of Johannesburg (CoJ) official who offered to clear her mounting municipal debt… But at a cost. The ordeal added insult to injury for Swann, who has been living without running water since February due to unresolved billing and infrastructure issues. “It was two weeks ago, on a Saturday morning, around 10:00, when I received the call from a man who introduced himself as Mr Leo from the CoJ.
