    Still nothappyKgautswane was a buzz this week when the government decided to visit the area, with a

    commu nity meet ing (imbizo) held on Tuesda y where people got th e opportu nity to speak

    their minds about service delivery problems in the area.

    The E xecutive mayor of Sekhukhu ne Distr ict Municipality, Cllr Mogobo David

    Magabe, Great er Tubat se Municipality Mayor, Ralepane Mama ekoa, local councillors andother dignita ries sought to inter act with th e commu nity over the course of two days, with

    the public meeting held on Tuesda y. People started gath ering at th e governmen ts tent

    next to the clinic from early in th e morning and t he forma l proceedings star ted at about

    13:00. Without mu ch ado the commu nity got the chance to speak their minds . The issues

    raised were familiar, na mely RDP housing, with accusations of favoritism and corruption,

    the condition of the access and internal roads in the area, water provision and the issue of

    the t he war d councillor, Cllr Joseph Mohlala, who appear ed in court more tha n once

    recently on charges that he was allegedly reckless with a firearm.

    More than thirt y people spoke their minds, a mong them m embers of the so-called

    Kgautswane Crisis Committee who recently organised a peaceful march in Burgersfort

    relating to the very same issues. The Committee also did not partake in the closed caucus

    meetings of the morning and the previous day, choosing instead to speak their minds at

    the imbizo.

    The Kgautswane Crisis Committee told the newspaper after the imbizo that the

    people are still not happy. The chairman , Mr Hendrik Coetzer, says alth ough people

    have ma de it clear tha t th e ward councillor should resign or be removed, no clear a nswer

    was given to this request. Although the governmen t ha s promised to look into problems

    experienced with th e distribut ion of water, no hope was forthcoming on the condition of

    the roads in the area. He said it was clear that a tar red access road was out of thequestion in the near future. All that is happening now is the reconstruction of a two

    kilometre length of gravel road at a cost of about R2,8 million. It will not help mu ch he

    told the newspaper.

    The Crisis Committee was due to convene a m eeting yesterda y, where the dea dlocked

    issues would have been discussed. J ust before the meetin g Mr Coetzer said tha t it seems

    the government was playing hide-and-seek with the community and t hat the primary

    purpose of yesterda ys meeting was to see what a ction the Committee could take in futur e

    to remedy the situa tion.

    The underperforming Marula platinum mine

    may be closed if it fails to return to

    operational profitability, Impala Platinum

    (Implats) CEO David Brown told the mining

    publication Mining Weekly in an int erview

    last week.

    Delivering 45% lower gross Im plats

    profits of R9,8-billion, Brown sa id tha t t he

    year ah ead rema ined challenging for

    Marula .

    Marula h ad a difficult year,

    characterised, Implats sa id, by reduced

    productivity and persistent labour issues.

    Its imperat ive that the operation

    achieves its production targets, Brown said

    in an of the rhodium-price-dependen t

    operation t hat is losing money and which

    has been the site of slower-than-expected

    ramp-up in production and safety stoppages.

    In reply to a question from mining

    ana lyst Nic Dinham, Brown said that a

    detailed review of Marula wa s ta king place

    under new management and the results of

    that review could be anticipated in

    November.

    Quite clearly, well be sett ing ours elves

    targets to make sure that the mine is a t

    least breaking even, or is restored to

    profitability.

    Marula is, unfortunately, somewhat

    subject t o the rhodium price, other m etal

    prices and the ra nd/dollar exchange ra te.

    From a group perspective, Marula is

    still net positive at this sta ge, because we

    have the Impala Refining Services contract for

    Marula. but we want to make sure tha t it is

    profitable at operational level as well.

    We will be able to come back ea rly next

    year to tell the market where we are with

    Marula, but I think t he obvious is quite clear:

    if Marula doesnt meet its set t argets a nd fails

    to return to profitability, then we will have to

    look at closure for that mine, Brown said.

    Implats owns 73% of Marula, with Mm akau

    Mining, a black-owned company headed by

    Bridgette Radebe, a community-based trust

    and local Limpopo business interest s owning

    the r emaining 27%.

    Loans obtained from Standa rd Bank by

    black economic-empowerment partners for

    purchasing 27% of Marula amount to R710-

    million.

    A spokesperson for Mmaka u said th at h e

    was well aware of the situation at Maru la, and

    declined to comment further.

    Brown said that, a lthough the tons milled

    at Marula had increased by 8% to 1,57-million

    in the 12 months to Ju ne 30, this was well

    short of what ha d been planned, owing to

    limited mining flexibility, strikes and

    accidents.The ra mp-up of the new mining plan ,

    in which R398-million capital had been

    invested, remained behind schedule.

    While Marula produced 73 000 oz in the

    year, its net costs r ose by 30% to R11 730 a

    platinum ounce in concentrate, owing to the

    high inflationary environment and lower-than-

    planned throughput.

    Bleak future

    for Marula?

    Trouble

    atModikwaTrouble struck at Modikwa platinum mine this week when

    United Association of South Africa tra de un ion (UASA)

    started a strike yesterday morning follwing the suspension of

    supervisory personnel at one of the sha fts on Wednesday.

    Details of the str ike at Modikwa were n ot exactly clear

    when the newspaper phoned the mine early yesterday and noimmediate r esponse could be obtained from the mine.

    An UASA member phoned the newspaper, saying that

    members of the N ational Un ion of Mineworkers at one of the

    shafts downed tools on Wednesda y, demanding th at t wo of

    their supervisors be suspended.

    According to th e UASA member th e deman ds of the NUM

    members were met, but that it was unfair to the supervisors.

    The natu re of the dispute between th e supervisors an d

    workers at the shaft were not available at the time of going to

    press.

    UASA members say the initial NUM members reaction

    came after sa fety rules were strictly enforced by the

    supervisors. According to UASA members at t he mine, t his is

    now the sixth time in eight years tha t supervisors were

    suspended because of the same type of incident and that they

    cannot work in these circumstances.

    At the t ime of going to press a lar ge number of UASA

    members were gathered at the central administration offices

    at the mine, waiting for the outcome of a managementmeeting where one of the suspended supervisors were also

    present a s far as could be determined. UASA members also

    allege that t he right pr ocedure was n ot followed with the

    suspen sion of one of the s upervisors, as h e was only told that

    he was suspended after he arrived for work yesterday

    morning.

    Are you getting the service youService is somethin g we often h ear

    complaint s about. People feel that they

    deserve good service and undivided

    attention when th ey are paying customers.

    We asked our readers whether they feel

    they ar e receiving the cust omer service

    they deserve from th e shops, bank s, filling

    stations, restaurants, taxi services etc. inthe Burgersfort a rea.

    Die diens is nie so sleg nie. Dis maar normaal soos op ander plekke ook, s me. RiaSnyman en me. Anneline Snyman. By hulle is Angie.

    Ms. Margret Makofane said: Ja, we aregetting service. There is nothing wrongwith Burgersforts service.

    Ms. Eldah Mashaba said: People mustimprove their service. Especially thetaxis.

    Mr. Patrick Mogakala said: Yes, theservice is very nice. They dont crook meat the shops.

    They must improve, especially at theshops, said Mr Ishmael Mogakala.

    Ms. S.M. Matibidi said: The ABSA bankqueues are too long and that is not goodservice. The whole taxi industry is also aproblem. We need more buses. The taxidrivers shout at us.

    Mr kloppers Nyamurowa said: So far, sogood. The taxis must improve on theirtime table. Sometimes transport is notfrequent enough and when it arrives theseguys are not very courteous.

    Mr Jan Motene said: They need toimprove on service. The taxis - we get inand then they go to get petrol and wemust wait. They must first go and put inpetrol and then come to us, so that theycan take us directly home.

    Mnr. Arend Moll s: Die kitsbanke isaltyd baie vol en n probleem, daar isdikwels ook di probleem by vulstasies.By hom is Markus.

    Mr Lebogang Malapane said: No, I amnot at all satisfied with the service.Sometimes people just dont know aboutcustomer care. Will it improve as we arejust around the corner from 2010?

    Me. Jeanette Langa s: Nee, daar is niediens nie. Nie by die winkel nie, nie by dietaxi nie en by die bank is dit ook nie.

    as a customer deserve?

    Mnr. Charlie Cilliers s: Daar is noggoeie diens. Ek het een keer by OK nproduk gekoop wat nie reg was nie en toe

    het Vonnie dit vir my omgeruil en nekstra ene gegee. Dit was goeie diens. Ekhet ook nog altyd goeie diens by Lessingse bottelstoor gekry.

    Mnr. Leon Kotze s: Ek het nog nooitdiens gekry soos een keer by nspesifieke ou by Truworths Man nie. Hy

    het al die reekse vir my gewys, wat dit kosens. Dit was regtig uitsonderlike diens.

    Ms. Winnie Maroga said: Yes, we do getservice, I love it.

    Die OK se diens is puik. Diens in diealgemeen? Dit hang af van waar jy gaan,s me. Evelyne van Jaarsveld.

    Mr. Desmond Magabe said: The serviceis all right. The Standard Bank serviceshould become more geared for the end ofthe month. They must control thequeues.

    Mr Speed Kgwetiane said: The service isall right. We have a shortage of shops.That is why we have to queue. ABSAbank needs to be enlarged.

    Ms. Maureen Malaka said: Yes, I think weget good service. When I go into the bank,the line goes fast.

    Me. Magda Smit s: Die diens is patetiesin Burgersfort. Ek ry liewer Lydenburg toeom my besigheid te gaan doen.

    Mnr. Koos en me. Marit Smit s: Nee, ons is nie tevrede met die diens nie. Van die15de tot die 17de van die maand werk 90% van die OTMs nie en ook van die 25ste totdie 30ste van die maand. Dis wanneer almal betaling kry en wanneer daar n probleemis.

    Ms. Thalitha Makgoga said: Can I

    complain? When I go to the bank I mustqueue, when I go buy food I must queue. Iam so frustrated. I cant come toBurgersfort from the 25th to the 30th ofevery month.

    Mr Lucky Moropane said: They need to

    improve the service so that our town canbe loved and regarded for its superiorservice.

    Nedbank Cup Sekhukhune winnersThe final of the Nedba nk Cup for the Sekh ukh une r egion took place on Sun day, 6

    September at Longtill.

    All the m atches, including the final was delayed with a pproximately one hour due to the

    absence of a net for the goalbox. This discovery was ma de when th e first m atch was due

    to start. The problem was however sorted out and the teams took each other on to

    determine the two best teams for the final.

    In the final Maatlopo United FC played against RT Giant Killers. We meant business

    from th e start , said the Maa tlopo United PRO, Jimmy Makola. Early in the ma tch two

    golden opportunities t o score were missed, but in th e 20th minu te of the gam e, Thapelo

    Moropane man aged to score with a corner kick.

    Maatlopo almost scored again but the ball hit the crossbar and no further goals were

    scored. The half time s core was 1-0.

    During the second half Giant Killers came out strong and managed to even the scores

    despite Maa tlopos strong defence.The Giant Killers were reduced to a 10 man t eam a fter

    one of their pla yers were given a s econd yellow card in the 65t h minu te of the game. Th is

    gave Thapelo Moropane th e opportu nity to increase th e Maat lopo lead to 2-0. He was a lso

    named Player of the Match for his goals.

    On 12 September Maatlopo will play against Tubatse United in Praktiseer. On Sunday 13

    September Ma atlopo will face the Sekh ukhu ne Celtics from Nebo. This game will tak e

    place at the Moroke stadium. Both games will start at 15:00.

    We are happy to be the Sekhukhune champions. We are ready to meet other regions

    such as Vhembe, Capricorn and Mopani, Makola added. He also thanked their

    supporters for their dedication no matter where they play.

    Anyone who would like to enquire about the gam es can contact J immy Makola at 073 775

    57795 of Sydney Mokoka on 072 869 4418.

    Readers can k eep an eye on the n ewspaper t o fiind out how Maatlopo United will be

    performing in the upcoming games against the other regions.
