Strength for the weary
The Annual Winter Revival Campaign in Klarinet Ext 8 was a deeply spiritual and transformative gathering where believers came together to strengthen their faith, seek divine restoration, and embrace God's promises. Led by powerful guest speakers – Pastor Shaun Mnguni, Pastor Francois Botes, Pastor Caiphus Mashilane, Mrs P, and Prophet Elijah Qwabe – the event on May 31 ignited a renewed commitment to trusting in God and walking in faith. One of the central themes of the revival was the importance of trusting in God above all else, rather than relying on human wisdom or understanding. Mashilane emphasised that faith is the 'main ingredient' that transforms lives, referencing Proverbs 3:5-8. He encouraged attendees to appreciate even the small blessings, as God has the power to turn 'nothing into something'. The revival reinforced that, with God, no obstacle is too great. Joshua 1:9 was a guiding verse throughout the event, reminding worshipers that when God is on their side, no force can stand against them. Walking with faith was a key takeaway, with speakers urging believers to remain steadfast and speak positivity into their lives. Qwabe delivered a message of peace and restoration, drawing from John 14:27 – 'God's peace surpasses worldly understanding and provides deep comfort to troubled hearts,' he said. The revival encouraged attendees to lay their burdens before God, as highlighted in Matthew 11:28, where God promises strength to the weary. Attendees were reminded that they cannot walk alone – true transformation comes from inviting God into their lives, listening to His command, and embracing the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Isaiah 43:18-19 perfectly captured the essence of the event, illustrating God's ability to bring rivers of abundance into the driest deserts of life. As the revival came to a close, hearts were filled with hope, peace, and a strengthened faith. The Klarinet Ext 8 community left with the firm belief that God's power unlocks possibilities beyond human understanding, and His guidance leads to true spiritual growth.

Siyanqoba residents cry out for gravel road repairs
Residents in Siyanqoba are fed up with the municipality's inaction towards fixing the gravel roads, hindering them from accessing a number of services as vehicles struggle to pass through. The ward 12 residents from Yellow Bone complain that it all started during heavy rains experienced early this year, which flooded their gravel roads not far from their yards, causing serious damage to the roads, as there have been big holes that require urgent intervention. 'We have been reporting the issue, but it's so sad to see that not much is being done about it,' the residents cried, adding that they are no longer able to receive services such as waste collection due to the terrible state of their road. 'The waste collection workers told us that they won't collect waste until the roads are fixed,' they said. The residents claimed that road workers came to fix the road, but only the section in the public eye received attention, and for their street, the condition still remains the same. Their great concern is how the situation poses a danger to both pedestrians and motorists at night, especially with the lack of streetlights. As if that wasn't enough, the community went on to complain about the irregular supply of water in their area, as they claim that the person responsible for the pump doesn't operate it as he is expected to, leaving residents without water for weeks. Ward Councillor Lucky Tolo, explained that the biggest issue that they are facing is that they are not fully capacitated when it comes to the equipment needed to fix the road. 'We got a team who attended to the road two weeks ago, but they couldn't finish up as they were then called to an emergency in another area,' he said, adding that he will check with the team to find out when they will be going back to finish up the work. WITBANK NEWS reached out to the municipality on the matter, but there has been was no response yet.
