Perd en sy ruiter herenig
Die perd wat in Russellweg in die Baaise middestad wag staan, is Vrydag ná ’n jaar met sy soldateruit er herenig. Die munisi paliteit het die soldaat, wat vir 110 jaar langs die perd gekniel het, verlede April vir veiligheid verwyder, nadat vandale dié beeld – opgerig ter nagedagtenis aan die perde wat in die AngloBoereoorlog omgekom het – beskadig het.

The MBDA is clearly spending their money correctly.” Without the MBDA, it would not have been possible to establish an SRA in Richmond Hill, Slattery added. “It was a long process, but the MBDA oversaw all of it and was an integral part of putting it in place.” The SRA status means that residents pay a
