A small group of protesters gathered at Brighton Beach on Saturday to voice their outrage over the authorisation of an application to undertake an offshore seismic survey between Plettenberg Bay and Algoa Bay.
Nelson Mandela Bay residents reached out to the family of murdered physiotherapist and triathlete Marolien Schmidt on Saturday by gathering at the beachfront in her honour.
Wilderness physiotherapist Sineke Schmidt was up early preparing for a full programme of Women’s Day activities with her friends when she got a devastating phone call her daughter, Marolien, had been murdered in her home in Gqeberha.
As messages of condolence streamed in for a much-loved Gqeberha physiotherapist, Richmond Hill residents described how they tried in vain to save Marolien Schmidt after she was stabbed by an intruder in the early hours of Women’s Day.
