BONUS - RUSTENBURG - November of 2022 will without any doubt be remembered for a very long time as the month with the highest November rainfall in 20 years, if not the highest in human memory.
Until 08:00 on Monday, 14 November, no less than 294.8 mm has been recorded in Rustenburg and in particular at Geelhout Gardens Nursery. It is almost laughable to recall that until two weeks ago, the highest November rainfall in 20 years since 2003 was the "miserable" 176 mm of November 2020!
As pointed out by Charlie, it is very likely that new record month figures will be pushed up even higher, as the month end if still at least 15 days away. While the immediate forecast for the coming week is mostly sunny with few showers on the horizon, chances for rain are much higher again from the end of this week, according to the South African Weather Service.
As we have warned last week, now is perhaps the best time ever to invest in a new raincoat or at least a new umbrella. Keep watching NW Bonus and Rustenburg and remember - be extremely careful of river crossings during downpours!
Record after record for
most rain
BONUS - RUSTENBURG - The rising incidences of intimidation and extortion by so-called 'taxi inspectors' against ordinary motorists and commuters are worrying.
Brig Joël Pheto, Rustenburg Station Commander has expressed his concern and indicated that action will be taken against those transgressing the law.
Most incidents are reported early in the morning when commuters are en route to work and when using communal transport.
Even official transport of companies and businesses are targeted by this 'enforcers'.
"Only Law Enforcement - South African Police and Traffic officials - are authorized to address permit related issues and no other entities have authority to impound vehicles or demand money," said Brig Pheto in a statement.
Well-know hiking spots in Rustenburg CBD, especially opposite the taxi rank have become notorious and problematic. These incidents are not restricted to hiking spots - even when commuters wish to use other means of transport.
Similar incidents have also been reported on the R24 road. SAPS will continue to monitor hiking spots and other means of transportation of members of the public to ensure that they continue to express freedom of choice when selecting modes of transport.
"There is no law against a motorist offering someone else a lift - as long as no reward is payed," the Police said.

BONUS - RUSTENBURG - The Parys 400, the seventh and final round of the South African Rally-Raid Championship that took place on Saturday, 12 November, turned out to be yet another extremely challenging event as torrential rain and a flooded route resulted in changes to the race that was the final title decider of the season.
With Round Six the previous day already shortened to a 12 kilometre Pirelli Qualifying Race and one 98 kilometre loop, the final championship decider on Saturday followed after more torrential rain that drenched the route. According to competitors, the extremely wet conditions of the weekend after persistent heavy rain leading up to the event, made it almost impossible to race, and
the organisers had no choice but to shorten the race distance for the final event to a 12 kilometre qualifier and an 86 kilometre loop, which included a 16 kilometre de-controlled section.
A first overall victory and FIA T1+ win of the season eventually went to Gareth Woolridge/Dreyer who edged out De Villiers/Burke, but the runner-up result was enough for De Villiers to claim the overall and FIA T1+ title. There was, however, disappointment for Lategan/Cummings who were forced to retire due to alternator issues and the power steering belt dislodging due to the wet conditions. The third place went to Chris Visser/Albertus Venter (Red-Lined Motorsport REVO) who were the FIA T1 victors. It was once again a tight battle at the front with a mere 98 seconds separating the first four teams at the finish. Botterill/
Vacy-Lyle rounded their season off finishing fourth overall and third in FIA T1+ while the FIA T1.2 victory went to the newly-crowned class champions, Lance Trethewey/Leonard Cremer (King Price Xtreme CR 6) who were fifth.
In the Special Vehicle Category, Trace Price Moor/Shaun Braithwaite (TipTop Milk BAT Venom) added another overall and Class A victory to their wins the previous day with Lood du Preez/Chris Visser Jnr (Farmers Meat Stryker) finishing second overall and in Class A. It was another real challenge for the open-wheel vehicles in Class A, Class P and Class G in the treacherous conditions with these vehicles not having the luxury of a windscreen, wipers and windows. The 2022 Parys 400 will be remembered as the wettest race in almost two decades and brought back memories of the Carnival City 400 in 2003, while it was more than likely the first time in the history of the modern racing series that organisers were forced into the extreme changes to the race and routes. Although it was a challenging way to round off the 2022 SA Rally-Raid Championship, it definitely added to a highly successful and memorable season.
