1. PLETTENBERGBAAI NUUS - Verskeie toeriste is vanmiddag ernstig beseer toe 'n restaurant in Plettenbergbaai, The Deck, inmekaar getuimel het. Die boonste verdieping van die restaurant, wat volgens 'n betroubare bron aan die Bitou-munisipaliteit behoort, het met gaste inmekaargesak en op die onderste dek te lande gekom. Nooddienste het na die toneel gehaas en dit wil voorkom asof 'n gas haar rug gebreek het en verskeie gaste erge frakture opgedoen het. Nie die munisipale bestuurder of uitvoerende burgemeester het reageer op telefoniese of e-pos-navrae nie. Dit wil blyk uit vertroulike inligting dat die munisipale bestuurder geweier het om die gebou se huurkontrak bekend te stel. - Knysna/Plett Herald.
