Misdaad in die dorp was die afgelope naweek buite beheer gewees, met twee moorde wat binne ure van mekaar aangemeld is. Die dorp en omgewing het sedert Junie vanjaar ‘n styging in misdaad ervaar. Dit is veral die stygende gewelddadigheid wat met die voorvalle gepaard gaan wat inwoners diep bekommerd maak.

Die omstandighede rondom die moord op die 48-jarige me. Maggie Castleman bly steeds onduidelik. Haar bebloede liggaam is gevind voor haar werkperseel, Gouws Auctioneers, in Presidentstraat, Louis Trichardt.

Die Smith-gesin van Louis Trichardt ag hulself baie gelukkig om te leef, na ‘n inbraak by hulle plaashuis verlede Vrydag.Die voorval het plaasgevind net ná 23:00, toe die stoor se alarms afgegaan het. Dennis en Jana Smith, wat op ‘n kleinhoewe bly net buite die dorp op die Levubu-pad, was reeds in die bed.

The sleepy and peaceful village of Tshitanini outside Thohoyandou came alive at the weekend when thousands of people from all over Southern Africa and abroad converged on the village. This was during the beatification of the late Benedict Tshimangadzo Daswa (44), who was bludgeoned to death in 1990 in a trap by community leaders, who differed from his stance of resisting witchcraft.

Damage amounting to more than half a milllion rands was caused when a house belonging to a local community leader was gutted by a mysterious fire.
