It’s the last newspaper for October. Christmas is becoming apparent in just about every store. It will soon be time for Jingle Bells and Boney M.
Japanese wisdom: If it’s not yours, don’t take it. If it’s not right, don’t do it. If it’s not true, don’t say it. If you don’t know, shut up!
Kim Bagshaw is a local author from Pennington whose book Genesis (My Journey With God At The End Times Part 1) was recently published by Multi-Marketing Publishing. She describes her experience with God. Her book is about a deep dive into the Bible from the Book of Genesis to the Book of Ezekiel. She attended the Multi-Marketing Book Awards Ceremony in Pretoria at Colbyn Military Bowls Club on October 24, where she received the Multi-Marketing Best Non-Fiction Author Award 2026. Her daughter Kayla Marshall, who is a hidden talent in Pennington, gave a dance performance at her mom’s book launch and was then asked by Multi-Marketing to perform for them at future events. She performed at the event on the 24th and also received an award – the Best Multi-Marketing Dance Performer Award 2026. Well done, Pennington locals.
