The gas cylinder must be outsideyour home as well.Gas heaters also need to beserviced. These heaters are in fact verydangerous because the gas cylinder isnormally in the same casing as they areand gas leaks can cause problems.Rather use torches and not candlesas candles can fall over and start toburn your other items; we have seenhow candles have started fires inpeople’s homes.If you cook with a primus or paraffincooker, make sure it is safe to use andplaced on a level surface and awayfrom combustion items.If you are cooking on the electricstove and the power goes off due toload shedding, never place your gascylinder on the stove top to cook yourfood as this is very dangerous.We have seen people do this andwhen the electric power comes backon, they forget that the stove plates maybe on still and they then can have anexplosion when their gas cylinderexplodes.Never use your oven with the dooropen to heat your home.Make sure your electrical wiring inyour home is certified by a qualifiedelectrician.❝Police spokesperson Captain Namhla Mdleleni saidthe operation yielded positive results.QUEENSTOWNCheapest rates in town!!!Dentures made in 1 weekNo long waiting listsGENERAL PROCEDURES (SHORT LIST)Extractions (First tooth)(Then for every other tooth)Stick-on goldCleaningsFillingsDENTURESOne toothTwo teethFour teethFull upper OR lowerFull upper AND lowerVISIT OR CALL ONE OF OUR BRANCHES68A Prince Alfred Street, Queenstown045 838 1133 / 045 050 0987ORShop A06 Lukhanji Mall, Queenstown045 050 4966OR SEARCH FOR US ON FACEBOOKdentistsincqueenstownsouthafricaWHATSAPP076 401 3510VISIT OR CALL TODAYR170R70R350 UPR490R400R1450R1700R1900R2800R4100Police arrest 171; bodies unidentifiedREP REPORTERIn an effort to clamp down oncrime in the Chris Hanidistrict, law enforcementofficers continued with theiroperation which includedtracing wanted suspects in theBEEF CHUCK FRESHPORK SHOULDER CHOPSCHILLY WORSCHICKEN WINGS LOOSEMAGGI 2 MIN NOODLESSWEET CORN PUNNETCARROTS RUGANI 1KGR74.99 KGR49.99 KGR59.99 KGR49.99 KGR4.99 EAR16.99 EAR8.99 EAE&OE - WHILE STOCKS LAST - LIMITEDQUANTITIES - WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TOWITHDRAW SPECIALS WITHOUT NOTICESPECIALS ARE VALID FROM THE28TH - 30TH OCTOBER 2022SATURDAY 08:00 TO 16:30SUNDAY 08:00 TO 12:00region.
