Daar is geblaf en baie gelag Ethan Vollenhoven van Kuilsrivier dra sy hondjie, Zack, terwyl Zeke maar moes swem by die eerste Muddy Puppy-hindernisbaan-pretdraf wat Sondag op die volstruisplaas langs die N7-snelwag plaasgevind het. Die 2 km-uitdaging het uit verskeie hindernisse bestaan en daar moes gekruip, gespring, gegly en geswem word, met ’n bietjie modder tussendeur. Daar is gesweet, geblaf en baie gelag.

Local Kalkfontein resident Johannes Pula, who was instrumental in organising the past weekend’s protest action, confirms the action was a result of the 100 beneficiaries coming from New Rest. “Our local people need to get preference.
