Bullets and stones flyNobody dead (yet) at ‘Marikana Rank’

‘The guys from Org (Ohrigstad taxis) are wrong” a member of the Eastern Leolo Taxi Association told

Platinum Gazette on Wednesday afternoon just after the shooting, with Police and ambulances still on the

scene at the taxi rank adjacent to the Twin City shopping centre in Burgersfort (Spar).Everybody from the two sides (Ohrigstad taxis and Eastern Leolo) deny throwing a stone or firing a

shot, but quite a number of taxis are damaged and a number of individuals are in hospital with various

wounds.

“It was a commotion” they say. Everything happened in the commotion when nobody listened to

nobody and also did not respect anybody.

So, there you have it. An explosive situation in the middle of town, with nobody brave enough to take

responsibility for anything.

Now what was the reason for the commotion? Apparently the ‘Org guys’ (Ohrigstad taxis) who drive

long distance from Ohrigstad and surrounding villages started their own informal / ill egal rank adjacent to

the Twin City rank (dubbed Marikana Rank) after the rank at the Khadima Centre (old taxi rank between

the Boxers) was partially destroyed. As a result of their new presence at the traditional Eastern Leolo

(Twin City) rank, they allegedly now take business away from Eastern Leolo, who maintains that the taxi

routes and parking in and around Burgersfort cannot be a free for all. Kabam! Fight.

According to Eastern Leolo everybody concerned agreed a week or so ago that informal ranks in and

around Burgersfort should no longer be used and that the various groups and associations should keep to

their designated routes and ranks.

Then came the ‘Org guys’. “This is not the end of it, someone is going to die” they say.

HonouringMadiba’s legacy

Dwarsrivier Mine celebrated Mandela Day

on 18 July 2013 by constructing a fence at

Shaga Primary School in one of their

neighbouring communities.

Not even the freezing weather could chill

the warm spirit of giving.

The Dwarsrivier employees worked to-

gether to start putting up a fence at the

school. This will ensure that stray goats will

not ruin the planned vegetable garden at

the school. The fence is being errected

with the assistance of Vasbyt Civils and

Dwarsrivier Mine would like to thank them

for their contribution.The day was not only work and no play.

Teachers, learners and parents from the

community joined the Dwarsrivier employ-

ees with dancing and they shared delicious

boerewors rolls.

Mr Mthi Mtshengu, General Manager at

Dwarsrivier Mine told the group that their

efforts in the community is no bottomless

pit. If they are making a difference in just

one child’s life it is all worth it. He added

that they know the community is very

poor, with many of the school’s parents

who are unemployed and that they hope

the fence that is being errected and the

vegetable garden that is envisaged will

assist in bringing a small measure of re-

lief.

Ms Wendy Venter from Dwarsrivier Mine handed

something special to the teachers.

Mr Remember Mmbengwa, one of the

Management Members at Dwarsrivier

Mine helping with the fence.

Big and small received something to eat

on this cold day.

The boerewors rolls and cold drinks

were much appreciated.

The Dwarsrivier Mine team at Shaga Primary School.

Dwarsrivier Mine is currently

assisting with transport for

all of the children to the

school. This is just a tempo-

rary arrangement and they

are currently negotiating

with the Thaba Chweu Municipality to try

and find a permanent solution. He added

that they’ve seen that there are other needs

at the school as well, ablution facilities for

example, and the Mine will see what they

will be able to do to assist.

Last week was not the first time Shaga Pri-

mary School benefitted from DwarsrivierMine’s open hand. In March the Mine do-

nated two computers to assist with the

school’s administration.

The Mine’s intervention at the school also

saw enrolment increase from 45 learners to

120. This led to the school winning an award

for The Best Improved School in the

Lydenburg circuit.

The school’s principal, affectionately known

as Mama Sarah, thanked Dwarsrivier Mine

and their employees for everything they did

for the school.

Through their effortson Nelson Mandela’s

birthday, Dwarsrivier Mine honoured what

the former President once said: “ Education

is the most powerful weapon you can use to

change the world”.

4 NEWS 26 J ULY 2013

ASA experienced a shortage of power supply on its four furnaces after

the expansion that has necessitated an additional two furnaces and

applied to Eskom for upgrading of the capacity on the electricity supply.

The only available substation then was the Leseding power supply

situated at the Baroka ba Mashabela community at Driekop.

Although this was an Eskom project to supply electricity to ASA

Metals, ASA Metals assisted by also facilitating the acquisition of the

Community Resolution as it is required by the law. ASA Metals agreed

with the Baroka ba Mashabela Community to identify one of their most

needed projects - The Water Project. The Baroka ba Mashabela

community and the company agreed thast ASA Metals will assist the

community with water supply in honour of their Resolution to allow

Eskom to connect electricity from Leseding Substation on the 11th ofApril 2010.

The Community Resolution comprised of among other things water

supply and waste rock supply. The latter was required to close the donga

that made it difficult for the school kids to cross during rainy seasons

when going to school.

The second project was mainly to do with the water supply to the

community and through the traditional leadership and the ward

councillor, six boreholes were identified. The company and the

Mashabela community agreed that ASA Metals will foot the bills for

electricity tariffs for the next twelve months from the inception date. The

sixth pump was redirected to a new village section which was not initially

agreed upon, hence the delay to relocate with additional costs beyond

the budgeted amount of R250 000. Six pumps in various sections of the

village of Baroka ba Mashabela are running in full capacity.

ASA Metals was supposed to foot the electricity bill for a period of 12

months and in this period the project was supposed to be transferred to

the Sekhukhune District Municipality. The footing of the electricity tariff

bills was supposed to have ended at the end of August 2012, but

realising that the Sekhukhune District Municipality was not ready to take

over due to budget constraints, ASA Metals Management extended

electricity payments till the end of June 2013. ASA Metals continued to

honour the water supply agreement even beyond the agreed period. The

total value of these projects as at the end of June 2013 was R460 496.

On the 16th of July 2013 an official hand-over ceremony was hosted

by the company. Sekhukhune District Municipality Executive Mayor,

Councillor Mogobo David Magabe unveiled the Project Board together

with Mr Kleinjan du Toit, Chief Executive Officer of ASA Metals.

ASA Metals at Dilokonghands over projects

Suprise baby gets

warm welcome

“We did not suspect that Anika (28) my

fiancé was pregnant. We moved to

Burgerfort a month ago where I got an

appointment to manage a business” says Mr

Tinus (26) Labuschagne.

“On Monday, after initially thinking her

normal period was starting, Anika called me

into the bathroom in the middle of the night.

She was delivering a baby! It was quite a

shock, we did not expect anything and we

were not prepared for this little one in any

way.”

Mr Labuschagne called the emergency

service of the cellphone provider. He was

patched through by the operator to Dilokong

Hospital. A doctor (a woman) on duty

explained to Mr Labushagne what he must

to. In need of a piece of string he tied of theumbilical cord with one of his running shoe’s

laces. “I was scared to make a mistake, so I

made two knots before I cut the cord” he told

the newspaper.

The doctor then gave him directions to

Burgersfort Clinic, saying he must take

Anika and little Tiaan (yep, that is his name!)

there to check if she and the baby are okay.

The night duty staff at the clinic were

quite surprised the see the family knock at

the door in the middle of the night and

warmly welcomed them. “They were so

professional and friendly and quickly sorted

us out. Remember, we did not even have

clothes for the baby or diapers. They did

everything to help us and we just want to

thank them for what they did for us.

Although the baby was okay, Anika did not

stop bleeding and they called for an

ambulance to take her there. The vehicle

arrived in record time to take her to Dilokong

Hospital, where she stayed for the night.

The people at Dilokong were just as

professional and friendly and we want to

thank them as well.

In the meantime I went shopping forbaby stuff like clothes, diapers and so on

and received very good service from all the

shops who assisted the new dad for

everything in newborn size.”

Mr Labuschagne says Anika and Tiaan

were discharged the next morning and are

doing well!

Tiaan weighed 3kg at birth.

67 Minutesdedicated tothe elderly

MANDELA DAY CELEBRATED

Modikwa Platinum Mine celebrated former President Nelson Mandela’sbirthday by giving 67 minutes to the elderly in the Maandagshoek area.Modikwa Management and some of the mine’s organised labour (NUM

and UASA, members of the National Department of Agriculture andlocal government) visited an Old Age Group at the old HC Boshoff hos-pital.The elders for this neighbouring community to Modikwa Platinum Minewas happy to receive running shoes from the mine. The idea is to en-courage the group to stay active and healthy - something that is impor-tant to the management of the mine.The group acknowledged the efforts Modikwa is putting into the com-munity to help eradicate poverty and creating a better future for them.Ms Sebopela, representing the group told the visitors that they wouldlike to go on a road trip to Johannesburg one day. “We would like theMine to organise a trip for us to Johannesburg. We just want to get thefeeling and explore life outside Burgersfort, Limpopo. We were bornhere, schooled here and married without exploring the outside world,”

she said. With their new shoes they

feel ready to put their best foot forward in a world far apart fromrural Burgersfort.

The youth from the area also supported the efforts of the mine.Mr Happy Mohlala told the audience that they appreciate the factthat Modikwa Platinum Mine takes the needs of the communityserious. He said: “With the help of the mine we wish to eradicatepoverty and provide job opportunities to the locals.We are think-ing of establishing cooperatives in the agriculture and engineer-ing sectors. Those businesses will benefit the community”.The day would have been incomplete without a tribute to Nelson

Mandela. The group wished him a happy 95th birth-day and with loud ululating and song those in atten-dance wished Madiba a speedy recovery and manymore years.

On 20 July 2013 the Chrome Angling Clubhosted their first club competition at Tubatsedam, Steelpoort.

It started with the drawing of pegs and thefirst lines were cast at 09:00 when the horn

blew for the start of our three species winterchallenge as the competition will be called.Targeted species were: Carp, Barbell andKurper. There were 23 participants, of whichthree were junior anglers that were willing toface the elements and fish through the night.

Isak Holtzhausen was appointed as theweigh master for the weekend; he gave the

anglers tips on the correct landing, handlingand release techniques to cause theminimum stress for the fish out of the

perspective and experience he gained as aspecimen carp angler.Only one fish, caught by Luan Venter, was

landed for the duration of the competition,weighing in at 4.75kg. Never the less there

were a few missed chances. One was whenLuan Venter was forced to endure the coldwater of Tubatse dam and dive into thewater to retrieve his rod after a monsterdecided to take the rod for a swim.The over all spirit was great and the anglers

facing the winter cold right through the night

by kept the fires going at full power. Some

only got to sleep a while, way after sunriseon Sunday morning.The final horn blew at 12:00 on Sunday, withstill only one fish landed. The prize giving

was at 12:30. Luan Venter was awarded theprize for the biggest Carp and the prize forthe heaviest bag. The prizes for the biggestbarbell and kurper unfortunately were not

won on this day. Lucky draw prices wereawarded to all participants.

Unfortunately the biggest carp was onlylanded an hour and a half after the horn hasblown, weighing in at 6kg. BernieOosthuizen has decided that although the

competition was over, he was not done yet.When he was forced to leave for home, heasked the club chairman if he could look

after the rods until the end of the day.Thanks to his angler’s spirit, Theo Visagie

had the privilege to land this beautiful carp.The Chrome Angling Club would like tothank the following sponsors: Mr. AndorEsbach, general manager of TubatseChrome; Hengel & Kuns, Lydenburg; HennieGroenewald, Chrome Club.They wouldalso like to
