🌫️❄️ WELKOM WOKE UP IN A BLANKET OF MIST THIS MORNING! ❄️🌫️

With temperatures reportedly dropping to a chilly -1°C, thick mist covered parts of Welkom, making visibility difficult for motorists during the early hours.
Many drivers switched on their hazard lights and reduced their speed, taking extra precautions on the roads as they made their way to work.

Safety came first as the dense mist created challenging driving conditions across town.

Stay warm, stay safe, and remember to keep your headlights on and maintain a safe following distance during these cold winter mornings.

Goldfields Uplift Media News

Our June issue is available now!
A Community That Continues to Shine...

As winter settles over the Goldfields, one thing continues to stand out in our community - the warmth of people coming together, supporting one another, and celebrating local success stories. At Uplift Media News, this has always been at the heart of our vision: to shine a light on the positive, the inspiring, and the people who continue to build our community every single day.

This month’s edition proudly includes our special GoldFM Golden Globes 2026 supplement, where we acknowledge and celebrate some of the remarkable winners and Top 3 finalists who continue to make a difference in the Goldfields.

These individuals and businesses represent excellence, perseverance, leadership, and passion. Their achievements remind us that despite challenges, there is still so much good happening around us worth celebrating.

June also brought another major highlight on the community calendar - the annual Amari Melodramari. Once again, the event showcased the incredible talent, dedication, and teamwork of learners, staff, parents, and supporters. From the atmosphere and entertainment to the spirit of unity and purpose, it was truly a celebration of community in action. Be sure to see all the highlights inside this issue.

As we celebrate Father’s Day this month, we also take a moment to honour the fathers, grandfathers, mentors, and father figures who guide, support, and inspire families throughout our region. Your role in shaping future generations is deeply valued and appreciated.

Congratulations to Morgan Motor Group Welkom on celebrating 20-years in the Goldfields. It is encouraging to see companies believing in the future of our region and creating new opportunities for residents. There is also growing excitement within the local motor industry as new franchises continue opening across the Goldfields. These developments are more than just new businesses - they are signs of growth, confidence, investment, and progress within our local economy.

At Uplift Media News, we remain committed to uplifting the Goldfields through positive journalism, community partnerships, and local storytelling. Thank you to every reader, advertiser, contributor, and supporter who continues to believe in our vision.

Salwaa’s Kool Frikkadel (oumense onder die komberse)

Salwaa’s Cape Malay Cooking
From My Kitchen To Yours - keeping our heritage alive

Ingredients:
500g mutton / beef pieces pieces
2 tablespoons oil
2 onions, chopped
Salt to taste
7 cloves
1 – 2 green chilies, deseeded and chopped
1 piece stick cinnamon
1 large cabbage
Nutmeg
Butter
Water as needed

Frikkadel ingredients:
500gr fat free minced meat
1 onion
1 small green pepper
1 tomato
1/2 bunch dhanya (optional)
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 slice of slightly stale bread soaked in water
1 egg
Salt & pepper to taste

Method:

Soak bread in water and squeeze excess water out.
Chop onion, pepper, tomato, dhanya finely.
Add all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly using your hands.

Method:
Heat the oil in a large deep pot. Braise the onions until very brown, add the meat and spices and cook until the meat are brown and tender, 20 – 30 minutes depending on you meat, adding water (not excessive) to prevent it from burning. In the meantime separate the outer cabbage leaves, cutting the veins from each leave but don’t cut through the leave. Chop the inside (the hard part) of the cabbage finely, put the chopped cabbage in a colander. Pour boiling water over the cabbage and leave to drain. When the meat is nicely browned add the chopped cabbage in the pot, stir and cook another 10 minutes until the cabbage are browned as well, stirring often to prevent burning. Wash the cabbage leaves you left whole and steam on top of the meat remove when softened and set aside.

Prepare your frikkadel. Place a small ball (40ml) of frikkadel mixture in the centre of each cabbage leave and fold into parcels. Place the frikkadel parcels on top of the mutton mixture, add 1 cup of water. Sprinkle with grated nutmeg, dot with small pieces of butter and cook, covered for about 30 minutes on medium.

Serve, with white rice and atchar.
