?Water supply in Burgersfort was

intermittenent this week - to say theleast. The editor showered in the rain

on Wednesday (enclosed back yard).

Lepelle Northern did not want to speak

to the newspaper. Call centre did not

answer their phone. Sekhukhune

District Municipality’s Willie Mosoma

was very helpful (after hours), saying “I

will come back to you in three minutes”.

He did, after five minutes, and explained

that the water pumps were flooded by

the rain. Repairs were done, but the

reservoirs were empty and busy filling

up. He offered a visit to the water plant

where they are working to the

newspaper, but we declined. We

believed him.

Year en d ta l l t a le sRed Riding Hood was one of the characters in Steelpoort Academy’s pantomime that was performed in the school hall last week

(Pantomime: a form of musical comedy stage production, designed for families. It was developed in the United Kingdom and mostly

performed during the Christmas and New Year season. Modern pantomime includes songs, slapstick comedy and dancing, can

employ gender-crossing actors, and combines topical humour with a story loosely based on a well-known fairy tale). The modern twist

to old fairytales (and more recent ones like government and social problems) thoroughly entertained the audience - more photograpghs

Dwarsrivier Mine helps shape

the future through Early SuccessDwarsrivier Mine handed over the renovated Early

Success Day Care Centre on 30 October 2013.

Thaba Chweu Local Municipality receives many

requests for assistance and Early Success Day Care

Centre was one of them. A storm blew away the

Centre’s roof and damaged it to such an extent that

the children accommodated there were exposed to

the rain and wind. The municipality does not have the

budget to assist everywhere and together with

Dwarsrivier Mine identified Early Success Day Care

Centre for help from the Mine.

Through Dwarsrivier Mine’s assistance a new roof and

tiles were put in place. The building was also painted.

De Hoop

Dam fears

allayedThe De Hoop Dam will not only supply water

to select communities when it starts to deliver

water.Speaking at an imbizo held in Ngwaabe

last week Saturday, Sekhukhune District

Mayor, Mogobo David Magabe, told

residents of Greater Tubstse Municipality

Wards 27 and 28 that they should take

ownership of the dam and see it as a

resource that should be shared.ities. The

imbizo formed part of the regular public

participation mayoral outreach by the

government to give people the opportunity to

raise issues around problems of

employment, economic development, basic

services and to give government the

opportunity to dispel their fears about some

perceptions and rumours.

Relaying the context through which the

imbizo was held Cllr Magabe assured the

residents of Ngwaabe of government’s

commitment to the betterment of their lives

through programmes of all three spheres of

government and private sector.

He said there has been substantial

investment by government and mining

companies in the community of Ngwaabe

that should be acknowledged, promoted and

improved upon. One of the residents Mr

Philemon Phasha of Kutullo Village raised

concerns that ranged from the terrible state

state of the Phasha-Mampuru road, watertanker permits and the uncomfortable issue

about residents perceiving De Hoop water to

be servicing only Makhuduthamaga local

municipality. Mayor Magabe said similar

perceptions and misleading rumours were

doing the rounds when he held similar

imbizo interactions with communities of

Makhuduthamaga who said the De Hoop

linked water pipeline was going to serve the

communities of Polokwane and Capricorn.

“We are your leaders, we were with

you when there was no dam. Now the

dam is 96% complete. You allow some

people to mislead you about this very

major strides we made together. This is

your dam, in it there is you’re your water

and the same water you will proudly

share with fellow residents of the district.

Hence we say we are committed to the

vision of a better life for all” Magabe said.

Magabe invited members of the

community to the official opening of De

Hoop Dam on 02 November 2013.

Platinum Gazette has learned this

week that the event was postponed to a

date still to be determined.

New sanitary block

for Dipitisi PrimaryDipitsi Primary School at Kgautswane (Rietfontein) held their grade

seven farewell function last week Thursday, while new sasnitary

buildings was also handed over to the school by the government.

The school is one of the biggest primary schools in its area with

more than 500 learners and according to the Chairperson of the

School Governing Body, Mr Peter Kgwete, the old toilets becametotally inadequate. He said with the new sanitary blocks handed over

to the school, the old toilets will be demolished as it became

dangerous and unhygenic.

The handing over ceremony was attended by guests fom the

Education Department, Local Municipality, former principals, other

stakeholders and also some of the new young German volunteers

who are working in the area.

THe school started in 1974 and the first building was erected in

1976. According to Mr Kgwete, the school buildings are also not

fulfilling in the school’s needs any more and that development of the

school is urgently needed.

The school said goodbye to 84 grade sevens this year.




Effectively negating the left turn lane by entering the traffic from the taxi

stop at the left in front of Burgersfort Mall, four lanes of traffic squeeze

into two lanes on the other side of the traffic light, with pedestrians all

over the place as nobody, but nobody, rides the white elephant (aka

several million rand pedestrian bridge).

On the other side of elephant, chaos. Luckily, the untrained car guard / taxi marshall (with presumeably no training) accomplished in 30seconds (untangling a traffic mess) what traffic cops (presumed trained)

do not even attempt. Remotely.

In the mean time Mr Anthony Molapo from Ohrigstad took this photograph

with his cellphone inside the Khadima Centre. “ I wondered whether

the cattle looked for a snack or a taxi” he bemusedly told the newspaper.

Yes, it was month end again.

Jubilee secures funds for tailings projectJubilee, the AIM and JSE Limited quoted Mine-to-Metals specialist, says it has reached a key milestone in the

commencement of processing of the platinum-bearing Dilokong Chrome Mine (DCM) tailings by concluding a

funding arrangement to meet the working capital requirement.

Jubilee is targeting to commence processing wi thin the next three months based on expected time lines to

re-commission the processing plant.

The funding arrangement includes both debt and equity. The debt component was secured following due

diligence by the investor on the earnings potential of the processing of the DCM tailings, which allowed Jubilee

to reduce the equity funding requirement.

Leon Coetzer CEO of Jubilee said: “The funding arrangement secured by Jubilee is a key step towards the

commencement of the processing of the Dilokong Chrome Mine tailings. Jubilee has targeted an initial

processing rate of 10000 tonnes per month ramping up to a targeted 25000 tonnes per month within 4 monthsof operation. Jubilee is currently in discussions with the community to access a second road link to allow the

targeted processing capacity to increase to 35000 tonnes per month.

“The processing of the Dilokong Chrome tailings significantly enhances Jubilee’s earnings capability and

brings the company a step closer to concluding the proposed Platinum Australia transaction. We have a strong

asset base from which to grow and remain fully focused on becoming an integrated and operational platinum

company.”

Jubilee’s subsidiary Pollux Investment Holdings Pty Ltd (Pollux) was awarded the processing right to recover

the platinum group metals (PGM) contained in the 800 000 tonnes Dilokong Chrome Mine surface tailings.

Jubilee concluded a toll processing agreement in November 2012 with PhokaThaba Platinum Pty Ltd

(PhokaThaba or Smokey Hills), a subsidiary of Platinum Australia Limited (PLA) (under administration), for the

processing of the Tailings at the Smokey Hills concentrator. The Toll Agreement enables Jubilee to commence

processing of the Tailings starting at a rate of 10 000 tonnes per month and ramping up to a targeted 25 000

tonnes per month over a 4 month period.




Mnr. Dillan Viljoen sê: “Nee, die onderwys is

nie goed nie. Hulle moet meergekwalifiseerde onderwysers aanstel. Ekdink hulle moet op die oomblik 50% vir tale

hê om deur te wees en 30% vir ander vakke.Hulle moet dit 35% vir alle vakke maak dansal die slaagsyfer ook beter wees”.

Mr Patrick Lekwadu said: “It is better. They

must just give the assistance when it ispromised. Hopefully the youngsters will beencouraged through this”.

Mnr. Marius Venter en me. Annelie van der Westhuizen sê: “Ons kom van Rustenburg endaai area se sillabusse is maar baie dieselfde. Dissipline in skole hier is swakker en dit terwylRustenburg groter klasse gehad het. Die hele sisteem is besig om te fail . Die leerlinge kry ‘n

hupstoot deur slegs 30% vir ‘n slaagsyfer te kry. Nou word amper almal deurgesit en dingesoos die slaagsyfer verlaag sodat die Departement van Onderwys beter kan lyk. Mense watdit nie verdien nie kan nou deurkom”.

Ms Pontsho Morena said: “In the public schools it are bad. Things are only improving in theprivate schools and a few public schools are trying. The figure you need to pass is now verylow, it is sometimes embarrasing”. With her are Siyabonga and Sifuso.

Me. Helen Mzimande sê: “Die minister is regas sy sê dit gaan beter. Ek hoop daar komdalk nog meer matrieks deur. Dalk sal alleshierdie jaar nog beter wees”.

Mr Ledimo Moretsele said: “I really feel it isconfusing. They are not really educating.

They keep on changing the curriculum whilethey should at least spend a decade or so on

one. This constant change is confusing forlearners. We do not at all have a better passrate. It was 40% in the past and now it is30% or worse you need to pass. We call it

the Madoda Score - it means they are justletting you pass even if you did not”.

Mr Simon Moloto said: “I agree, it is gettingbetter, but only because the score needed to

pass was dropped from 40% to 30%. It isdegrading”.

Mr Patson Sekgobela said: “Yes, theeducation system is getting better. There is alot of things happening at grass roots level”.

Mr Walter Simetshi said: “They are stillstruggling a lot. We cannot guarantee the

picture the minister is painting. To many it is just hearsay”.

Mnr Richard Khoza sê: “Daar is maar nogbaie goed waar die ouers en onderwysersmoet saamwerk om reg te kry. Baie problemeis waar daar ‘n tekort aan dissipline is. Somskan een kind of soos by my kind se skool, 5kinders, ‘n hele klas sleg beïnvloed. Die hoof

moet dan met die ouers praat dat dit beterkan gaan. Ek dink dat daai corporal punishment terug moet kom dat die kinders

‘n bietjie kan leer. Daar is soms ookonderwysers wat nie hul job doen nie, maardis nie die onderwyser se werk om die kind te

dissiplineer nie”.

Mr Louis Magomotsi said: “What I’ve read isthat there is an improvement. Rome was notbuild in a day. Eventually we’ll get there towhere the system is perfect. Steady but

surely”.

Me. Sannie Maroga sê: “Ek dink dit gaanbeter. Ek dink net dat hulle al die kindersmoet leer Afrikaans praat. Ek like Afrikaans.

Dis vir my so ‘n mooi taal. Ek hoor dieEngels, maar ek verstaan nie so mooi nie”.

Recently the Minister for Basic Education,Angie Motshekga said that the country’seducation system is improving. She

attributed this to curriculum revision andbetter support for struggling schools. Shealso mentioned last year’s pass rate of73.9% with improvements in Mathematics

and Science as evidence for the turn around.We asked readers whether they share herpositive outlook and why.

Is the education system improving?

On 18 October the 2013 Spirit of Comades

Awards took place.This night honoured the truly deserving as

the Comrades Marathon Association (CMA)hosted the awards gala in Durban.The CATHSSETA Spirit of Comrades awards

gala celebrates three individuals annually fortheir very human attributes of selflessness,dedication, perseverance and Ubuntu,combined with their love for The UltimateHuman Race.The prestigious awards gala has been a

defining feature of the CMA since 1996. Thethree Spirit of Comrades recipients arepresented witha a one-ounce, 24 carat goldmedallion, courtesy of CATHSSETA (Culture,Arts, Tourism, Hospitality & Sports SectorEducation & Training Authority) as well as

acknowledgement of note.The awardees are nominated by CMA

members, Comrades Marathon runners andthe general public; and are subject to thediscretion of the CMA board. The awardscriteria place special emphasis on ComradesMarathon winners, legends, volunteers and

otherwise ordinary heroes and heroines,either in a single race or over a period oftime, exhibit the noble qualities associatedwith The Ultimate Human Race.The first Spirit of Comrades awardee was

Brad Brown. Brad has worked tirelessly over

the past four years to raise money for theAmabeadibeadi charity campaign. Not onlydid he overcome major physical obstacles tocomplete the Comrades Marathon severaltimes, but Brad very selflessly gave of histime and effort to set up the Race 4 Charity

website and inspired the special ‘CC -Charity seeding batch’ to motivate runners to

raise funds for charity.The Race 4 Charity initiative has since raisedR2.4-million rand for the Amabeadibeadicharities and Brad continues to inspire

Comrades Marathon runners to race forcharity and support the greater good. For hissterling efforts, Brad was awarded with thecoveted Spirit of Comrades medallion.The second notable awardee was Australian

runner, Joseph Ta. When fellow Aussierunner Joanne Tremonti had collapsed from

hypoglycemia on Race Day, Josephselflessly put his race on hold to carry her tothe Comrades Marathon Medical Tent. Notonly that, Joseph patiently waited 45 minutesfor the ambulance to arrive. He remainedthere until Joanne had regained

consciousness and was safely in theambulance. After an hour and a half of

waiting and caring, Joseph then went on tocomplete the race alone. He has beendescribed as a kind and caring person andhis noble deed went on to earn him the

second prestigious accolade.The thrid Spirit of Comrades recipient wasVincent O’Neill, a British runner who ran the89km distance to drum up support for theendangered rhino. Vincent’s passion for

saving the beleaguered rhino drove him to

finish the epic race in a 12kg rhino costume,bearing in mind that the 2013 ComradesMarathon was also one of the hottest andmost difficult races in nearly 40 years. Vinnywas amazed at the camaraderie and support

along the route, with many runners guidinghim to the refreshment stations and evenhelping to feed him. Many runners were leftdeeply impressed by Vincent’s honourabledeed in creating awareness of the incessant

rhino poaching in our country, and creating a

real spectacle of himself along the ComradesMarathon route whilst advocating a trulyworthy cause.Another facet of the glitzy evening is theCMA’s Journalist of the Year Award. This is asincere acknowledgement and appreciation

of the important and enduring work of themedia and rewards the journalist who has

shown a year long interest in the ComradesMaradon; and in that spirit has generated themost media coverage for The UltimateHuman Race. Sarel van der Walt once againclaimed the prestigious title by being the

most prolific messenger of the ComradesMarathon good news and he received a cashreward and due recognition of his sterlingefforts.

The presentation of the CMA GreenestRefreshment Station Award to SASOL was

next. This is a significant acknowledgementof the efforts made by the hosts of therefreshment stations on Comrades MarathonRace Day to keep their areas clean andgreen. Some of the defining features of thecleanest and greenest refreshment station is

the drive to recycle waste generated on theday and to ensure that their stations are

spick-and-span and that the route is cleanedup after the runners have passed.Over the years, the CMA has alsorecognized key role-players in the

Comrades Marathon family. Four deeplydeserving individuals were presented in thisregard with a CMA Life Membership Award.These were CMA Board Member, NevilleThomas and Start Venue Portfolio

Conveners, George Roberts and IanKerford.

The CMA is also mindful of the efforts givenoff by individuals and organizations whohave contributed in a significant way to theComrades Marathon Association over theyears. Due recognition and appreciation wasaccorded to these do-gooders for their

outstanding service or for going beyond the

call of duty in adding value to the Comrades

Marathon via the CMA’s Certificate ofAppreciation. These notable tokens ofgratitude were presented to Ian Laxton, inrecognition of his amazing years of service

to the Comrades Marathon in the mediasector. Mr Price Group was also recognisedin this category for its many years of ITsponsorship and support; and overall

involvement with the CMA.
