Steelpoort’s mass rubbish containers are spick and span. On Friday morning whiledelivering newspapers, Platinum Gazette’s team saw people placing rubbish into blackbags at the mass containers that looked so awful last week (see p1 one of last week’snewspaper). On Saturday, on our way to Jane Furse, it was so clean around this particularmass container that you could eat from the ground if scrubbed with soap. But alas,everything was not what it seemed to be. The containers and town were not cleaned byTHEM (the local municipality), but by Ngululu Bulk Carriers who decided to do thecompany’s bit for the community in this regard. Four points in town were identified incollaboration with Town Management to clean as the muicipality still claimed broken downequipment and vehicles. “It is not only unhygenic, but also creates a poor impresssion ofthe area and are bad for tourism” says Ngululu. Steelpoort Management have alsoexpressed their gratitude towards Ngululu in a letter to newspapers in the area.

Saterdag 9 Julie het ‘n klompie jonges enjonges van gees die berg agterBurgersfort gaan klim as ‘n jeug aksie virChristus.“Dit was ‘n poging om die jongemensevan die dorp te wys dat om ‘n Christen tewees glad nie “boring” is nie en dat ‘nmens lekker “adventurous” dinge kandoen as Christen. Die berg agterBurgersfort lyk baie makliker as wat hywerklik is en het baie deursettingsvermoëgekos om tot bo te kom” vertel Philip Smit,een van die organiseerders enbergklimmers.“Geluk aan almal van julle wat die klim somoeilik maak is die feit dat die terrein baiestyl is met baie los klippe. Aan dieonderkant is die bos baie ruig en verderop is die gras baie dik. Dit belemmer ‘nmens se sig en dus kan jy nie die losklippe onder die gras sien nie”.Die groepie het die oggend om 08:00begin klim en was teen 12:00 bo. Daar isby ‘n kruis wat reeds met ‘n vorige klimgeplant is, gebid en die groepie het saammiddagete geniet.
