Sards are coming this way
SARDINES were netted at Hibberdene and Sea Park down the coast over the weekend.
Sardine fever gripped the Lower South Coast as people scrambled in the water to get a share of the free fish. Although the sardines moved out to sea on Monday due to a big swell, they are still moving northwards and should be seen along the Upper South Coast soon.
New vehicle testing grounds for Toti
THE new Amanzimtoti Vehicle Testing Centre is where the old Winklespruit testing grounds used to be.
In fact, the premises are the same, but a new name brings new facilities and the offices and yard have been completely revamped. The newly painted and refurbished premises now offer services far in excess of any previous testing ground. A seven day a week service is now on offer, which no other testing facility provides. A soft-drink vending machine, outside refreshment area with tables and umbrellas and landscaped gardens have also been provided.
Petrol swallowed
TOTI Fire and Rescue Services helped stabilise a woman who was forced to drink almost a litre of petrol on Friday, 1 July.
The woman had apparently been forced to drink the petrol by her boyfriend. Paramedics were called to KwaMakhutha clinic at about 10.20am to stabilise the seriously ill woman. The patient was taken to Toti Fire Station and was later transferred to hospital by ambulance.
