De Hoop update

The window of opportunity is “wide open” forSouth Africa to create hundreds ofthousands of new jobs and simultaneouslyobtain a source clean zero-emission power,Anglo American CEO Cynthia Carroll saidthis week in Durban at the COP 17Conference.

“With platinum at its heart, a fuel cellindustry would support South Africa’s drivefor jobs,” Carroll said.

Anglo American, through JSE-listedAnglo American Platinum, is the world’slargest producer of platinum.

Carroll outlined how Anglo American hadput an expert body to work in London, whichhad concluded that hydrogen fuel cells coulddrive development of a whole new industrialsector in South Africa and provide thecountry with the opportunity to become amajor player in the global green economy.“The country has an opportunity toprofoundly influence the climate changedebate well beyond COP 17.

While much of the talk of climate changeis understandably focused on mitigatingcarbon emissions, we mustn’t ignore thehuge opportunities that exist in a low-carbonworld,” Carroll added.

Addressing a function for the presidencyof the United Nations climate changeconvention’s 17th Conference of the Parties(COP 17), Carroll said that the findings ofthe UK’s Carbon Trust on fuel cellsdevelopment in South Africa were that:

• with the appropriate levels of deploymentof investment in manufacturing, insulationand maintenance activities, “hundreds ofthousands of new jobs” could be createdover the next 30 years;

• fuel cells produced could simultaneouslyhelp to meet existing energy securitychallenges and provide rural communitieswith energy, without any major expansion tothe national electricity grid; and

• there would also be clear potential toexport knowledge and products to the globalmarket.

Carroll said that South Africa wasalready funding and directing research intofuel cells as part of its hydrogen strategyand fuel cell demonstration projects wereunder way around the country, ranging fromthe powering of vaccine fridges in ruralclinics to providing heat and power forhospitals. Anglo American Platinum wasitself demonstrating a 150 kW zero-emissionfuel cell close to the COP 17 conferencevenue to highlight the green credentials ofplatinum, which is on the way to being usedin 95% of the world’s new cars to capturenoxious gas.Carroll reported that the R100-million fund to support users of platinum-group metals had made its first investmentto a US company that was manufacturingand marketing fuel cell systems in SouthAfrica and Sub Saharan Africa. The use offuel cells to power underground locomotivesand miners’ cap lamps wasimminent.Hydrogen fuel cells using platinumcatalysts were efficient, versatile andscaleable and represented a proventechnology that provided clean, reliable andcost-effective power.

“I know that the South Africangovernment is determined to seize thisopportunity,” Carroll said, adding that SouthAfrica could become a global leader in fuelcells.Fuel cells, which used hydrogen andoxygen to produce electricity and water andheat, could be used in their stationaryformat, with the source of the hydrogen fromcoal-bed methane, which could be used toproduce water and electricity.

Carroll also pointed out that light emittingdiodes (LEDs) used in flat screen televisionsets, smart phones and laptops usedsapphire crystals from iridium crucibles,which was creating additional demand foriridium, a platinum group metal sourcedmainly from South Africa.

Anglo American spells itout: Fuel cells andplatinum - the road ahead

Advertorial

Facts about intestinal wormsInfection by intestinal parasitic worms is widespread throughout the world, affecting millions of people. Childrenare particularly susceptible and typically have the largest number of worms, which cause a number of health problems;making them unwell, affecting their physical and mental development, and affecting their attendance andperformance at school.The worms Three of the most common kinds of worms that infect children are roundworm, whipworm and hookworm. Theseworms live in the intestines and their numbers build up through repeated infection. Children may often be infectedwith more than one kind of worm.

What problems do they cause?

As numbers of worms build up over time, many of the health problems caused by these worms are chronic and canbe long lasting. The worms can cause malnutrition, as they rob the body of food through loss of appetite so thechildren eat less, or through stopping the food being absorbed properly once it has been eaten. Children withchronic worm infections and large numbers of worms may be stunted and underweight. Heavy infections withroundworm can also cause bowel obstruction. Intestinal worms can also contribute to anaemia, especially hookworm,which causes bleeding in the intestines and loss of blood. The larger the number of worms, the more likely they areto make the children ill, which can also lead to the children missing school, and doing less well when they are atschool. Chronic infections can lead to long term retardation of mental and physical development, and in very severeinfections, even death.What are the symptoms of intestinal worm infection?The different kinds of worms can cause different symptoms, and children with only a few worms probably won’tnotice any symptoms. However, with heavier infections, common symptoms in children with one or more kind orworm may include:Loss of appetite, Distended abdomen, Painful abdomen, Coughing, Fever, VomitingDiarrhoea, Listlessness and generally feeling unwellHow do people become infected with intestinal worms?People become infected with intestinal worms through contact with soil that has been contaminated with humanfaeces from an infected person. For roundworm and whipworm people can become infected when they ingest theworm eggs, either by eating contaminated food (e.g. fruits or vegetables that have been watered with water containingcontaminated soil), or by geophagic activity (ingesting contaminated soil directly). For hookworm, people becomeinfected when the larvae burrow through the skin of bare feet.What are the benefits of treatment?Benefits of treatment to individual children are: generally feeling better, an improved appetite and loss of many ofthe symptoms of worm infection described above. By having their worm infection treated, children should haveimproved nutrition, better school attendance, and be able to concentrate better when they are attending school.

Treatment of school age children will also benefit the local community, since children notonly carry the greatest burdens of worms, but can also be a major source of infection.

The Second Limpopo Valley ToyRun under the auspices of BikersThat Care took place on 19 and 20November at Mapochs ClubRoossenekal. The event wasattended by about 100 motorcyclesand 300 people. This turnout wasrealisd despite miserable bikingweather in the area. Peoplecontributed both toys (970), cashand much goodwill at the event.The toys are now distributed andthanks to the collective effort,Bikers That Care say they will beable to make Christmas a littlebrighter for 1195 children inLydenburg, Burgersfort,Steelpoort and surrounding areas.

Community will get a tar road

Bringing water to the thirsty

Smokey Hills Mine on Friday lastweek launched community projectsthat will not only be a contribution tothe economic upliftment of thecommunity, but also make life easierfor everyone traveling on the currentgravel road.Phokathaba Platinum(PTY) Ltd underwhich Smokey Hills is licensed will betaking on the responsibility for theconstruction of approximately 2.5kmof tar road from the circle atMaandagshoek, to the turn-off to themine.The contractors, BIGEN Africa willstart constructing a by-pass before the15th of December and hopes tocomplete the new tar road within fivemonths.At the ceremony, Mr Piet Kleynhanson behalf of Smokey Hills Mine toldthe community and governmentrepresentatives that they’ve heard thecall for a tar road. They also askedthe community to be patient during theconstruction phase.Municipal and community re-presentatives all thanked the SmokeyHills for the road that will be coming.During a ceremonial sod turningceremony, the mine representatives,government representatives andcommunity representatives dug intothe very hard gravel surface with ashovel and pick. It was however withsmiles on their faces that they did theirbit of hard labour for the day.

Smokey Hills Mine licenced under Phokathaba Platinum (PTY) Ltdhas shown their goodwill towards the community that had been sufferingwithout water.The Mahubane Section of the Maandagshoek area now has runningwater at taps in different sections of the community. The mine firstdrilled for water to provide the community with borehole water, but thewater was not fit for human consumption. Plan B then kicked into

action and the community reservoir is now fed directly from themine’s supply. This is a temporary measure until the SekhukhuneDistrict Municipality’s water pipeline reaches the community. In themean time the Mine has appealed to the community to take care ofthe line. Illegal connections into homes diminish the pressure andthen the supply cannot reach all areas of the current pipeline.They’ve also asked that the community not take the taps or pressure

valves from the line. Municipal officials thanked Smokey Hills fortaking the initiative to provide the community with water fromtheir own source. The community in turn expressed theirappreciation, but also urged government to provide sections notserved with the new line with water as soon as possible.Thehand-over of the project was celebrated by Mr Piet Kleynhans ofSmokey Hills with a drink from the tap!

Running water at Mahubane section.

A ceremonial sod turning ceremony took place at CrossongSection in Maandagshoek. A section of the gravel road will betarred over the coming months.

Mr Titus Nkgudi, Ms Lucia Shabangu and MrKarabo Masinga said: “It is very good thatnational government is taking charge. Theirfocus must be on better control overspending. Audits must be done on aquarterly basis. The loophole was on theaudit side”.

Ms Khuliswa Bomoyi, Mr Patrick Aphane andMs Bongiwe Mlilwana said: “People who arein politics in high positions misuse the moneyfor themselves instead of helping where themoney must go. The problem is they takepeople who have not gone to school andmake them their leaders. SA will be likeZimbabwe very soon”.

Mnr Rassie Snyman en me. Arlette Snymansê: “Dit gaan alles oor geld. Sodra geld ‘nissue raak dan hardloop party mense sekoppe met hulle weg. ‘n Mens moet dienasionale ouens ‘n fair kans gee en kyk ofhulle die provinsie kan uitsorteer”. By hulle isRuben en Samantha.

Mnr Pieter Oosthuizen en me. ElizeOosthuizen sê: “Hulle sal iemand moet krywat kan toesig hou, maar jy sal nooit weet ofhulle ook korrup is nie”. By hulle is Janine enGertjie.

Ms Mabotsha Mankge and Ms MantwaneMothapo said: “The problem is that theyappoint people who are not properlyqualified. They need to restructure and getpeople who are qualified to do the job.People who can see things like this coming”.With them is Refentse Mankge.

Me Rachel Mangaba en Genevieve Ferrissê: “Hulle moet mense met regtekwalifikasies kry. Hulle moet fokus op dieregte dinge doen. Hulle spend te veel geldop onnodige dinge. Ons is bly daar isingegryp”.

The Limpopo provincial government wasplaced under partial administration this week.The affected departments are the Treasury, theDepartment of Education, the Department ofRoads and Transport, the Department of PublicWorks and the Health and Social ServicesDepartment.The provincial government has allegedly usedup their 757.3 million overdraft facility. Thissevere financial trouble comes just halfway intothe 2011/2012 financial year. Limpopo has nowrequested the SA Reserve Bank to increasetheir overdraft facility to R1.7 thousand million(billion). Cabinet will now take over theresponsibility for the departments who wereplaced under administration.The partial administration of the provincialgovernment was greeted with mixed feelings.The ANC Youth League said that the move wasaimed at “reducing the confidence of ANCmembers in the current leadership” shortlybefore the party’s provincial conference nextweek.Cosatu and the SA Communist Party bothwelcomed the decision. Cosatu called for the“arrests and the dismissal of the culprits behindthe mess”. Opposition parties felt that the ANC’sdeployment of comrades to the provincescontribute to their financial trouble.

Ms Phindile Nkosi said: “With nationalgovernment handling things it will be muchbetter. There was a lot of corruption”.

Mnr Johan Albertyn sê: “As hulle net diekorrupsie kan uitsorteer sal dit beter gaan.Daar is soveel korrupsie in die land dat eknie weet of hulle die regte mense sal kan kryom dit uit te sorteer nie. Daar was baietenders vir tjommies en familie. Almalprobeer beter doen, kry niks reg nie enintussen word die geld uitgemors”.

Mr Nicholas Jones and Mr Howard Magopasaid: “It is a good thing that they have takenover. People of politics don’t deliver services,they want to enrich themselves. We hope itwill be all right now”.

Mnr Albert Schoeman en me. Chantelle vanHeerden sê: “Hulle moet die onbekwames enkorruptes uitkry en mense insit wat die job kandoen. Gee geld op die belangrike goed uit”.

Mr Thulani Cele said: “It is not good for thefuture. The problem is that we haveincompetent people in critical positions. Howdo you over spend 1.4 billion and then justgo to national government for a handout?You have to have competent people like inthe private sector. What happens in theprivate sector if you overspend? You getfired! We should start running governmentlike a business in the private sector. Thefailure to do so will see us heading for adisaster”.

Mnr James Letsoalo, Mnr Isaac Mothoa, Mnr Andries Ebersöhn, Mnr Richard Khoza en Mnr.Eddie (Casanova) Krause sê: “Dis wonderlik dat daar oorgeneem is, maar dit sal nie betergaan nie. Ons soek Trevor Manuel hier om die over-spending te kom uitsorteer. Hy kansommer vir 2 jaar in Burgersfort kom bly”.

Ms Patience Mahlake said: “It is good ifnational government takes control. Whenprovincial run themselves things don’t workout because people tend to look after theirrelatives even though they don’t have thequalifications.” With her is Fahlogelo.

Ms Thelma Matlala said: “I don’t think it’sgoing to be better now. They can putwhoever they want there, but there iscorruption everywhere”.

Ms O’Dilhea Keulder en Me. YolandeKoekemoer sê: “Hulle sal moet kyk na diekorrupsie en die onbekwame mense. Kyk naal die ongemagtigde tenders wat vir pêllegegee word. Daar sit mense in poste watomtrent nie eens hul name kan spel niemaar besluite moet neem. Mense is moeg virhoe hulle belastinggeld spandeer word. Ditlyk of 80% van die regering korrup is en dieander 20% maklik deur hulle beïnvloed kanword”.

Mr Frank Napo said: “We’ve heard from themedia that there are a lot of unqualifiedtenders that were given to friends and familyof officials. I am a teacher and every schoolreceives what we call ‘Norms and standardsfees’ with which you have to run the school.It usually comes in two allocations. The onearound May and the other December. We’venot received anything yet and I’m afraid wewill not get it. Where it comes to moneynational government have to interveneotherwise the civil servants will not get paid”.
