SCHOOL MONEY

When will the grant to schools be distributed? Some schools state that suppliers of stationery and other products have stopped their service because they want to be paid. This may take some time as distribution will be done through the district councils.

COMPENSATION

The recipients of the Manawanui compensation are reportedly getting $800 per family member. The bigger the family, the higher the amount received.

PANIC

Panic buying of fuel has started in neighbouring Pacific states. Some predict that it will not be long before people at home start buying and storing excess fuel.

EVERY DAY

Was it good to see police at almost all intersections along the main highway on Tuesday? A driver curiously asked why this was not done every day. Good question.

KEYS

Why would anyone take a vehicle's keys forgotten in a shop? Lucky for one vehicle owner, one such act was caught on camera. Maybe the person taking the key forgot to give it to the shop employees to ensure its safe return.

POTHOLES

Some villages are taking it upon themselves to fill potholes. This is after waiting for a long time for the authorities to take action. In some locations, the potholes are a major problem.
