“Weens die huidige Covid situasie en die baie mense wat siek is en sterf in Middelburg, is daar besluit om die vlooimark te kanselleer tot ’n meer geleë tyd. Ons ag almal se veiligheid belangrik,” het senior inspekteur Petro Oberholzer (bestuurder, Middelburg DBV) gesê.

Sy het gemeld dat persone wat reeds betaal het om om uit te stal en hul gelde wil terughê, hul kantoor kan bel by 013 246 1201 (Brenda).

“Anders kan ons julle geld hou tot ons weer ’n vlooimark hou.”

A national task team has been established to assist in bringing you credible news reports on Covid-19. Readers with any comments or queries may contact National Group Editor Irma Green (irma@caxton.co.za) or Legal Adviser Helene Eloff (helene@caxton.co.za).
