Four stories you may have missed
FOURWAYS - The Fourways area has been a hive of activity this week, especially from a news perspective. We've rounded up a few stories that are doing exceptionally well, and that you may have missed.
Our top story for the month was: Woman kidnapped and raped by 3 men in false Uber vehicle
This story got a lot of people talking due to how popular Uber is and how many people use it on a daily basis. However, many were speculative and used social media platforms to ask how the alleged attackers knew the young woman was waiting for an Uber cab. How often do you double check the registration of the Uber cab before getting into the car?
Our second top story was: Man sets himself alight in Montecasino
This was devastating, not only for the man involved and his family but for the many diners in the vicinity. Many families were out for dinner, enjoying the evening when the incident took place.
Reports on what exactly happened aren’t clear, but many have taken to social media to send their condolences to his family and pray that he find the rest he so desperately sought.
On a lighter note, we love when community members go out of their way to help animals in distress. You may have missed our two feel-good stories for the week, and you’ll definitely want to check them out because these little critters are adorable.
A few Kyalami residents, the Owl Rescue Centre and the Greater Kyalami Conservancy (Gekco) worked together to save rare owl chicks from a devastating veld fire.
Another rare animal was found by the Wildlife Centre for Rehabilitation and Education (CARE), which was started by Irene McKenzie-Fraser, a resident with a big heart. She’s dedicated her time and resources to helping a number of animals, from a variety of species and her efforts have not gone unnoticed. When Fourways Review published this article, a resident was quick to shower McKenzie-Fraser with praise.
Nix Stix stated on Facebook that McKenzie-Frasers home is actually the care centre. “I was amazed at how this lady managed to look after and care for the vast amount of species which had been handed in.”
Stix went on to explain that McKenzie-Fraser pays for all the food, medicine and equipment out of her own pocket and said any donations towards supporting CARE’s cause would not go unappreciated.
