Local voices. Real stories. A community connected.
Many of us dream of making better choices for our health, happiness, and future — yet life’s busyness often gets in the way.
Thabazimbi Local Municipality women councillors extend warm wishes to every woman in our community this Women’s Month. Together, we honour the strength, compassion, and resilience of women who continue to inspire change, uplift families, and build stronger, more caring neighbourhoods.
Ons onthou met liefde wyle Bertie van der Merwe (59), oorlede op 18 Augustus 2025. Sy verassing sal privaat geskied, en ‘n roudiens sal later te Thabazimbi gehou word.

On 29 July 2025, Russia’s Far East was rocked by a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake — one of the top 10 strongest quakes on record worldwide! Centred off the Kamchatka Peninsula, it triggered Pacific-wide tsunami warnings, though thankfully no major destruction followed.
