‘When is
something goingto happen?’
“We are still waiting for response a from
President J acob Zuma’s office, they said on
Monday a letter was posted, but we have
not received anything.
We are also waiting for the National
Council of Provinces. We handed our
concerns to them in black and white when
they visited the ar ea earlier this year at
their big tent in Praktiseer. Since then,
nothing. The war d committ ee does not
actua lly function, we never see our ward
councillor, and we are wa itng for the
Greater Tubatse Municipality, nothing ishapp ening. We are wait ing for everybody.
Nobody makes a move, we have no wat er,
the electrical pump is broken. Only the
rich people can afford electrical
connections.
Look at t his place, the RDP housing
project stands abandoned. People want to
build their own houses on the stands where
the toilets are erected. The Governmen t
said th ey will come back to us. They did
not. What mus t we do?”
This is the question Mr Joseph Maboi
and Fra nk Seerane (right an d left at t he
dry water point on the bottom photograph
respectively) wrestles with every day.
Their village, Malaneng, are next to
Mapar eng village accros trhe river as you
turn from th e Ohrigstad road to Graskop.
Mr Maboi is the chairman of thecommunity committee tha t tr y to better the
villagers’ plight.
“We invited you h ere becaus e people
must see that we are suffering”. A

with a delegation from Mapareng to bring
attention to their plight to the President.

Ready forthe future
Not too lavish, but quite comforta ble will be
the most accurate description for the new
counci l chamber of the Greater Tubatse
Municipality in the building up on the h ill in
Burgersfort.Tuesday sa w the first council meeting in
the new building. Un fortu nat ely the Mayor
and Acting Municipal Manager could not
att end becaus e of other commitment s. The
first thing that literally struck visitors, was
the cold ai r f rom the very ef fect ive ai r
conditioning.
The (figuratively) hot seats a re ra ised and
every councillor ha s a comforta ble high-back
chair. The sound system seems to be state-
of - the-ar t and everybody (Counci l lors,
bottom left an d visitors, above) stood quiet
and on attent ion while a decent instru menta l
version of the national anthem played over
the loudspeaker s before proceedings sta rted.
Councillors struggled a bit with theirmicrophones, but should be us ed to it soon.
The public gallery is on the sma llish side,
but also comfortable.
Unfortunately everything was still very
new, and officials were clearly not really
geared for the media. Platinum Gazette left
with a p romise from officials th at n ext time
everything will be running smooth.
Given the standard of the new building,
bad decisions can for sur e not be blamed on
the conditions...

4 NEWS 8 OCTOBER 2010
Tensions flareAnd so the leader of the ANC Youth
League, Mr Julius Malema, visited
Maandagshoek last week Saturday.
His visit generat ed quite a lot of
interest from the local commu nity, whule a
large number of the audience was also
bused to the venu e from other r egions inLimpopo. Par t of the au dience were also
prominent local politicians, a num ber of
them a ttending in their individual
capacities, to come and hear what t he
Youth league leader had to say.
As promised by the posters of the
meeting, he made quite an emotional case
for th e nat ionalisation of mines. While part
of the programme was a lso the handing
over of memorandums to representatives of
foreign minin g compan ies, most of the ra lly
was spen t a s a goold old fash ioned political
rally.
But, the National Union of
Mineworkers was not so impressed with
Mr Malema. After the meeting they issues
the following statement:
The National Union of Mineworkers
(NUM) is highly pertubed by theuttera nces attr ibuted to the ANC Youth
League President in saying that “ ...mines
that are not cooperative to the
nationalisation concept will have their
operations disrupted...” Not only does the
NUM finds the utteran ces unacceptable,
but such reckless utterances threat en the
livelihoods an d secur ity of jobs of the over
400 000 mineworkers employed in the
industry. The NUM remains stea dfast
that nothing about the mineworkers it
represents will be done without th eir
involvement. Whilst the NU M supports
state intervention in stra tegic sectors of
the economy in order to alleviate direpoverty within the populace, we refuse to
be blackmailed, indoctrinated a nd
manipulated by juveniles.
We strongly support t he Nat ional
Genera l Coun cil ‘s resolution th at pr oper
research be done on the n ationalisation
concept and that such findings be
presented t o the ANC ‘s Na tional
conference in 2012. We however call on
the ANC to provide the much needed
leadership and to reign in on its youth
wing to ensure that in the process serious
damage is not done to the reputa tion of
the country an d image of the South
African mining industry in the face of the
investor community. such ut terances
create unnecessary tension and
uncertainty amongst workers.
As far a s th e NUM is concerned, nomining operation will be disrupted by
anybody and we call on th ose who want to
disrupt operations to come forward and do
so.”
As could be predicted, this Cosatu
Union’s view resulted in m ore verbal
fights dur ing the week, but had died down
by the t ime of going to press .
Platinum Austr alia Limited has announced that the perman ent connection
of the Smokey Hills Mine to the national power grid was completein
September.
The entire operation, including the pr ocessing plant an d undergroundmine have been operating on only grid power since without incident.
The completion of the permanent connection to the grid has allowed
Smokey Hills to cease ru nning t he diesel generators which ha ve been
supplying approximately half of the power requirements of the operation
since start up. This will result in a net saving of approximately $0.5 million
per month and will also provide a more reliable power source.
The operation will however retain its sta ndby diesel generators to provide
back up in t he event of any issues in t he future with the supply of power
from th e nat ional grid.

It was said that unity was achieved for a
sma ll period of time dur ing th e Soccer World
C u p , b u t i t q u i c k l y d e r a i l e d a g a i n
afterwards.
Prof. Jansen feels that especially young,
whi te South Afr icans have an angered
att itude and messages such as “only black
candidates m ay apply” or “it is only a ma tter
of time before your farm s will be repossessed
and given to previously disadvantaged
people” is fuel for t his a nger.
In his opinion racial ten sion in South Africa
is like a vulcano that could errupt at any
time.
Deputy President Motlanthe also feels
strongly about the youth. He believes that
the focus for a n on-racial society should be
instilled from young and the youth mustgrow up with ideals of unity.
In Cap e Town Archbishop Thabo Makgoba
of the Anglican church this week said that
people should not forget about the wounds
inflicted to especially white men who were
forced to fight for apartheid. He feels that
t h i s i s a n i s s u e t h a t n e e d s c a r e f u l
c o n v e r s a t i o n t o b r i n g h e a l i n g a n d
understanding of the effect apartheid had
on both wh ite and black.
We asked readers if they feel racism and
racial tension is a problem in our a rea. They
also told us why they felt this way and wha t
can be done to bring unity.
Me. Susan Louw sê: “Daar is nograssisme want daar is nog nie goeiekommunikasie nie, maar dit kan regkom.Mense moet net meer geduld met mekaarhê”.
Mr Lennox Mphogo said: “No, I don’tthink racism is a problem in our area.Apartheid is over and we can all do thesame things with all kinds of people”.
Mnr. Bertus Verdoes sê: “Ja, hier is nogbaie rassisme. Ek glo nie dit kan regkomnie”.
Ms. Thembi Motau said: “No, even ifpeople speak different languages theywon’t point fingers and let arguments getout of control. I’ve never experienced ‘youblacks’ or ‘you whites’”.
Mr Tshepo Mashile said: “No, mostly weall interact and work together with no fuzzlike during apartheid”.
Mr Patrick Mandi said: “Yes, there istention, but colour does not matter, itmatters from where you come. People callus from other areas in the country‘incomers’ and other names. I find thatblack people are the most racist of all”.With him is his daughter Buhle Mandi.
Me. Charmaine Maré sê daar is nog rassisme en mense moet mekaar beter in agneem. Mnr. Gerhard Maré sê: “Nee, ek dink weer dis nie so erg nie. Ons almal werksaam en dinge is al baie beter as wat dit voorheen was”.
Me. Mar-Louise van Tonder en me. Marie van Tonder sê: “Hier is nog rassisme. Jy saldit nie sommer wegkry nie. Dit kan beter raak as almal hulle deel in ons land bring”.
Ms Singret Letsoalo said: “It is not thatmuch of a problem. We all help eachother and we all queue together in shopsetc.”.

our area? What do you think?
Mnr. Phillip Roetz sê: “Ja, beslis. Hier is nog baie rassisme. Dit kan dalk beter raak asalmal hulle deel doen en oor die algemeen by die land se reëls en regulasies hou”. Mnr.Willie van Rensburg sê: “Ja, hier is nog rassisme. Ek dink die rasse-spanning sal albeter raak as veral die taxi’s wat net stop waar hulle wil by die padreëls hou en dieverkeersdepartement hulle deel doen. Wanneer die taxi’s net so stop jaag hulle mybloeddruk op! As dit kan beter raak sal ek ook minder vloek”.
Mr Adam Tjale said: “Ja , there is a lot ofracism. It goes into judging people.Whites feel undermined when blacks areempowered and especially in some caseswhere the black person do not deservethe position, the whites start to bear agrudge”.
Ms Mpho Tlagadi said: “The racial issueis not a problem here. We are all differentpeople from different places who camewith one vision to this area - to work. Weall just click”.
Mr Given Mokgothu said: “In Burgersfortthere is no problem. We accept that weare different but living together in onecountry”.
Mr Calvin Mncwango said: “Everything isgoing well. It is good to be united. I amworking with white people and thecommunication is good. Even on thefarms everything is good”.
Mr Golddollar Mtheza said: “In our area Idon’t think racism is a problem. Theblack, white and Indian people are gettingalong fine. Sport is bringing peopletogether”.
Me. Chantel Grobler sê: “Nee, ek dink niedis ‘n probleem hier nie. Dis dalk omdatdie mense op mekaar staatmaak vir hulveiligheid op die myne dat daar nie plekvir rassisme is nie”.
Me. Priscilla Baird en mnr. Theo Baird sê: “Dit is nog altyd ‘n probleem. Mense moetsaamstaan en so moet rasseverskille opgelos word”.
Mr Johannes Molapo and Mr Edwin Boshigo said: “At Burgersfort there is no racism.There are people from Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Mozambique, Zambia and many othercountries working here and the white, black and indian people all get along very well”.

A draw in the ‘backyard’Last week Satu rday, Maatlopo United FC

their own backyar d’. This was said a fter
they won Tubatse United to advance in theNedbank Cup the week before.
Maat lopo United h ad a difficult game.
Politics mixed with sport an d this led to
the team playing without any reserves and
one man short on t he field. (Many of their
players at tended a p olitical rally in
Maandagshoek).
The team however stuck together a nd
during the first half Thapelo Moropane
man aged to score a goal. By half time they
were st ill leading. A goalkeeping error in
the 70th minute gave Tubatse United the
opportu nity to even the score.
The points remained 1-1 until the end of
the game. Thapelo Moropane was named
the Maatlopo Man of the Match.
This week Maat lopo United F C will play
against Material Black Chiefs at Ntoampe
stadium for the SAB league on Saturday
and at J ane Furse in the Nedbank Cup on
Sunday.Sunda y’s winner will represent the r egion
in t he provincial pla yoffs.
“We are aiming to repeat what we did last
year - to go on and repr esent our r egion,”
Makola said this week.
The team is organising transport to Jane-
Furse a nd encourage all their supporters to
join th em. Tra nsport will cost R50 per
person.
