Representatives of mediahouses in Sekhukhunejoined the government spindoctors of SekhukhuneDistrict (Communicationpersonnel) last week Fridayfor a combined heritage andtourism media tour in thearea. Here they explore thewonders of Echo Caves nearOhrigstad. More on page 3.

“Why do you advertise a scam in your

newspaper?” an unknown caller

demanded from Platinum Gazette’s editor

after calling him on his cellphone.

The man was furious and this was only

one of countless calls the newspaper

received about the advertisement for

various positions by Phokathaba Platinum

on 19 September in preparation of

restarting the Smokey Hills operation.

It seems that the company was simply

inundated with thousands of jobseekers

who applied for the positions and their

systems could not handle the sheer

volume of the response.

As a result people tried inter alia to

reach the company through the

newspaper when their faxes and e-mailsfailed to reach Phokathaba Platinum.

Platinum Gazette could simply not

assist all the callers or receive faxes on

the company’s behalf. Callers disregarded

business hours and phoned through the

night (every day) and tried to fax their

CV’s. As a result we disconnected our

faxes and used our caller blocking and do

not disturb functions on our phones

extensively.

We requested a formal response from

the company, but did not receive any by

the time of going to press yesterday. But it

was not a scam. All the best to the

thousands who did manage to get their

applications through to Phokathaba from

the newspaper’s side!

Not a

scam

sary for HIV/Aids, TB, Cholesterol, Diabetes and

High Blood Pressure.

On 26 September the programmed rolled out

into the community of Sehlaku Village at

programme was primarily to encourage com-

munity members to often check their health

status. Employees from the surrounding com-munities also promote positive behavioural

change in the area with regards to health and

wellness. Community members supported the

effort and the programme will be expanded to

also roll out in other communities in the fu-

ture.

Some community members also won lucky draw prizes

with their participation in the programme.

Teams worked hard to make sure that health and wellness is a priority during September. They will continue their efforts as the programme’s expansion to surrounding communities is ongoing.

Steelpoort Academy with her Road Showon Tuesday this week.Approximately 1000 people from all overthe Sekhukhune District gathered at theschool’s hall. Principals, circuit managersand GTM mayor, Cllr. RS Mamekoaattended the event.

The principals had the opportunity to raise

some of the challenges in the theirschools. One such an example is the planto rather pay the schools money than

provide the food for the feeding schemes runat the schools. MEC Mwedamutswu agreed

with the principals that it is not practical forteachers and principals to go shopping forthe cheapest food while teaching should be apriority.Mr Anton Alberts, principal at SteelpoortAcademy is very positive after the visit to theschool.

“The MEC gave the impression that

education is a priority for her and that sheand her team will try and address some ofthe challenges we have on grassroots level”.

In South Africa businesses are very involved

in communities through corporate socialresponsibility (CSR) projects. These projects

have in many instances become part of theway imbalances in society are beingaddressed.The South African Companies Act does not

oblige companies to engage in CSR projects,but the Policy Document and King Report onCorporate Governance focus on the need for

social, environmental and economic concerns

in respect of business’s responsibilities.One of the biggest hurdles business need toovercome when implementing their CSRprojects, is the perception that these projectsare often seen as mere marketing and not as

something making a difference. This ishowever not the case if employees are activelyinvolved and the communities from which they

hail are benefiting from their efforts.Research has shown that from a businessperspective social responsibility programmes

are seen as “an extension of a company’svalue and culture”. What is interesting is thefact that South African business shareholdersplace managers under pressure to invest in

such programmes as it is accepted to addvalue to the business.

Platinum Gazette asked readers what they

think about CSR programmes initiated by largecompanies in the area.

Mnr. DJ van Vuuren sê: “Kommunikasie moet‘n groot rol speel. In Burgersfort sien jy net:

‘O, hier is iets nuut besig om te gebeur’.Gemeenskappe weet nie wat word beplan niedaarom dink ek maatskappye moet beter met

hulle kommunikeer”. Mr Stephen Mphego said: “Their projects makesome impact although it is not addressing

challenges the way the community thinks. Weexpect more. An example is theMaandagshoek road we’ve received. We must

be thankful. Challenges are so big andresources so few, that it is why we often don’tsee the difference. Things happen gradually.We must not expect things to happenovernight.

Mr Jerry Napo said: “No, large companies arenot doing enough in our area. They don’t spendmuch money. The one big thing I can now thinkof that I know a mine did, is the road Modikwabuild at Maandagshoek”.

Mr Piet Tlaila, Ms Nomokhoya Zituta and Mr PO Podime said: “Notenough is being done by companies in our area. We can see that theyare trying to develop communities, but they must rather do one bigthing that benefits all instead of lots of small things that benefit onlytwo or three. They must invest in the youth. They must develop sportingfacilities for the youth to prevent young talent going to waste. This will

also reduce things like crime, alcohol abuse and teenage pregnancy.The municipality must not only rely on the mines to do development”.Ms Martha Khoza said: “They are using money

on small things. They must rather help developcommunities than sponsoring small things.People around the mines are often struggling.They must empower women from thosecommunities so that they can beentrepreneurs. Many people focus on the

youth but forget about the women who arebreadwinners and struggling. Theempowerment of women entrepreneurs aregoing too slow”.

Regs: Mnr. PieterDreyer en Mnr. JeanGouws sê: “Menseweet nie watseprojekte word gedoen

nie. Maatskappyemoet dit vir hulle sêdeur dit in die koerant

te adverteer sodathulle kan weet watword beplan en hoe

dit vorder”.

Links: Me. ElizeLötter sê: “Daar is

maatskappye watbaie doen en ‘nverskil maak. Eenwaaraan ek nou sovinnig dink is Bison

Falls Spur. Hulle is

altyd bereid om tehelp en is baiebetrokke in die

gemeenskap. Ekweet Modikwa doenook baie. Maat-

skappye doendikwels meer as wat‘n mens dink”.

Mr Phillip Mushaikwa said: “Communication

should be positive. I always see Modikwa,Samancor and Dwarsrivier in the newspaper.They are there. I think it is one thing forcompanies to do something and another totake responsibility for what one is given in thecommunity. Often when the mines leave after

completing a project it falls apart because thecommunity is not looking after what they were

given. The growth of Burgersfort is changingthe face of the town and that is because ofthe mines. I think it is good. People suffer fromdependency syndrome. They are given

something and they’ll just want more. Theyneed to be involved with what is being doneand take responsibility with the companies”.

Mr Walter Nzimande said: “Most of the largecompanies only do CSR in their policies and

papers but not in reality. The poor backloggedcommunities don’t benefit enough. I musthowever say that there are some of them whounderstand what to do. In general companies

don’t communicate enough with communities.Another problem is that the municipality wants

them to give money aimed for CSR projects.The municipality will then take the money themine is giving and start for example a farmingproject. They will buy 2 packets of seeds, afew spades and a pitch fork and call i t a farmingproject while the real money goes into the

municipality. They are guilty of things like that.Communities must know what is socialresponsibility. If they are given a borehole, theymust not go and steal the pump machine. I amhappy to see what is happening around here,but would like the mines to put money together

to construct a stadium next to the mall. Theone the municipality is building in Ohrigstad istoo far for us to travel”.

Mr Judas Mashile said: “I appreciate what thecompanies in our area are doing, but I alsothink they can do more. They should joinhands to develop the surrounding

communities. Don’t spend money on a bunchof small things that help only a few. I alwayssee what Dwarsrivier is doing because theyput it in the newspaper. That is good. It think

the other mines should also use the paper totell us what they do so that we can have that

information”.

Ms Pinky Mohlabine said: “I think TubatseSUPERSPAR is the company I see doing alot in the community”.

Mr Enos Selaele said: “The companies in ourarea do enough with CSR projects. Look atthe road Modikwa build at Maandagshoek.Glencore’s Thusong Centre at Mapodile and

the classrooms Samancor Eastern ChromeMines are building. I think they make adifference”.
