Who are
they?Page 3
Dwarsrivier Mine are surely in the process of making a huge
difference in Kalkfontein when the fi rst water from new boreholes
were pumped at the village this week. This is a relief, as
connec-tion to De Hoop in the near future may prove to be
problematic as the village was probably not taken into account
because of its informal status. On Monday the mine management held
a small function at one borehole next to the road and the
government highs were also invited, but could not attend for some
or other reason. (Maybe we should vote for the mine during the next
election - editor). More details on page 2.

DWARSRIVIER MINEDwarsrivier brings
water to KalkfonteinOn Monday 12 October, Dwarsrivier Mine
manage-ment visited Kalkfontein Village where they cele-brated the
start of a long term water re cula on project.
The mine has drilled boreholes in di erent lo-ca ons in the area
with the idea to eventually con-nect it to a piping system that
will provide every household with running water. The sec on where
the boreholes are drilled currently have no water supply and
residents cross the tar road to collect water.
Six boreholes were drilled with four yielding water. These
boreholes will deliver more than 450 000 litres of water per day to
residents in the area.
An unexpected hiccup in the project came when the mine wanted to
start with the installa- on of pipes. Kalkfontein has not been
formalized as a se lement and the process has now been put into mo
on. This is necessary so that one day when road construc on and
other services are due to be installed, the water pipes will be
mapped and not destroyed. This town planning process is
delaying
the projects progress, but knowing the importance of water, the
mine will now put up Jojo tanks with points from which the
community can collect water. This will make life easier as the
distance to collec ng water will be shorter. Once the se lement has
been formalized the project will be completed as planned.
Dwarsrivier Mine General Manager, Mr. Rian Burger told the
community that the mine is doing this from their hearts.
Representa ves from the contractor, Greater Tu-batse
Municipality and the Community Property As-socia on all had a turn
to speak. Many thanks were given to the mine for their unwavering
commitment.
The community was quick to bring buckets and drums to collect
water from this point just a er the wet sod turning ceremony. Mr.
Remember Mmbeng-wa, SD Manager of Dwarsrivier Mine was one of the
fi rst to taste the water and assure the community that this
important resource is bringing new life to them. Dwarsrivier Mine
commi ed themselves to this ex-tended project to deliver be er
quality of life to a community close to the mine.

Heritage Month is celebrated annually from 1 to 30 September.
Heritage Month recognises aspects of South African culture which
are both tangible and intangible: crea ve expression such as music
and performances, our historical inheritance, language, the food we
eat as well as the popular memory.
In line with the above, on the 30 September 2015 Booysendal Pla
num Mine in partnership with Fedics Site Services hosted 6 primary
schools at Ga Malekane community hall to celebrate heritage
month.
The General Manager, Mr Willie Theron shared with the learners
about the importance of cele-bra ng heritage month, that Living
heritage is the founda on of all communi es and an essen al source
of iden ty and con nuity. Its about cultural tradi on, language,
rituals, our history, skills and techniques, indigenous knowledge,
living with na-ture, society and social rela onships, he therefore
told the learners that it is important for South Afri-cans to
reclaim, restore and preserve these various aspects of living
heritage to accelerate the use of living heritage to address
challenges communi es are facing today.
September is observed as Heritage month, a celebra on not only
of the past, but of the contri-bu ons of the South African people
in making the country what it is today.
South Africa is a heterogeneous country with so many di erent
tribes, histories; backgrounds and culture, there cannot and should
not be a uniform celebra on. Variety is defi ned as a na onal
asset, and the government announces themes each year that guide o
cial celebra ons.
The theme for this years Carnival was Social Cohesion: South
Africa belongs to all who live in it.
The Primary schools that par cipated in the celebra ons were
Ntake, Maphopha, Masago, Papong, Ngwanathulare and Tibamoshito.
A School which performed be er than the oth-ers in a par cular
category received a trophy.
Ntake primary school received a trophy in the Dinaka category,
Maphopha Primary in poetry whilst Masago Primary walked away with a
trophy in Dipepetlwane.

Let us not betray the poor masses who voted us into government
by developing egocentric politics of money-loving, because by doing
so we will be betraying ANC ancestry of Tambo, Sisulu and Mack
Makgopa
This was the crux of a memorial lecture by Mr Lemon Phala when
he hon-oured the late Mack Makgopa at a Saturday afternoon ANC
political school held on 3 October at Morapaneng villige between
Burgersfort and Moroke.
Members of the community of Ward 3 of Tubatse municipality
gathered at Tlakale aMogase recreation garden to participate in the

Freedom Charter.
Mr Phala narrated political moments he spent with the late
Makgopa and men-tioned that such moments consisted political
debates and clarifi cation on policy matters. He continued to say:
we are not here to praise Cde Makgopa, ntepa e segwa ka ye nngwe
loosely translation of the Pedi idiom meaning we copy from existing
model. He illustrated that Makgopa demonstrated selfl ess service
delivery and patriotic volunteerism as his political life was more
of putting the organizational objectives before his personal
pursues.

The Greater Tubatse Traffi c Department is planning extensive

They will have zero tolerance with motorists that have
outstanding traffi c fi nes. They can come and check their status
for free at the municipality, Traffi c Chief Victor Lekwadu
explained. If there are fi nes outstanding they can make
arrangements to avoid being arrested.
I also appeal to drivers to treat the traffi c lights that are
not working as 4-way stop streets. They should also obey the
instruc-tions of the pointsmen on duty.

24 October 2015. Kick-off will be at 17:00. Australia will face off
with Scotland, Ireland against Argentina and New Zealand against
France.
Eben Etzebeth (lock) has been named as one of the key Springbok
players to watched while Bryan Habanas scoring of fi ve tries
against the United States cannot be over-looked. Commentators has
called the team a physical pack trying to redeem themselves from
being outwitted by Japan in their fi rst game of the
tournament.
Wales is a very fi t side with world-class talent, but has
suffered a terrible run of inju-ries. On their side Alun Wyn Jones
(lock) has been named as the player to watch.
The loser of the game will go home with the winner progressing
to the semi-fi nals.
So far in the World Cup, Greig Laidlaw from Scotland has made
the most points (60). Second is Ayumu Goromaru from Japan with 58
points. Handre Pollard from South Af-rica is in fi fth place when

over the course of the tournament and 3 drop goals has been
scored.
A total of 1 881 023 people has attended matches at the various
venues in England.
Platinum Gazette asked readers what they think about the
Springboks chances this weekend.
Mnr. Doctor Masinga s: Hulle moet wen. Doctor soek daai Cup hier
in Suid-Afrika. Hulle moet hard werk. Ek support hulle baie en
hulle beter wen.
Me. Ivy Pretorius s: Saterdag sal die Springbokke beslis wen.
Dit sal n tawwe game wees met n moontlike telling van 24-18. n
Eindstryd tussen die Springbokke en Nieu-Seeland is moontlik en
daar kan die Bokke ook wen en die beker terugbring.
Mr. Lesley Ndou said: Yes, I think they will win, but not with a
big margin. Something like 22-16 perhaps. Wales has been play-ing
good. Weve played well in the last two games. They should win this
one. I think theyll go through and face-off in the fi nal against
Australia. It is a tough one, but if they keep the momentum, they
can hopefully bring back the Cup.
Mnr. Pieter Muller s: Saterdag is dit Bokke bo! Ons moet hulle
ondersteun wen of ver-loor. Hulle sal beslis teen Wallis wen. Hulle
moet. Verder sal ons moet sien hoe dit gaan.
Mr. Cain Maile said: Japan was a warm-up. Now they are ready to
go all the way to the fi nals and bring back the Cup for the third
time. They will win on Saturday. Ill watch on TV and support
them.
Mr. Thabo Riba, Mr Eleck Riba and Mr. Bongani Mdluli said: Ja,
they will win on Saturday. We like the Springboks.
Mr. Tumisho Mphogo, Ms. Silindwe Mnisi and Mr Khutso Mnisi said:
Japan was just a warm-up for the Springboks. Now they will win
against Wales. They will go all the way to the fi nals which will
be South Africa vs Scotland. Well be watching and supporting them
on Saturday while having a braai and some booze.
Mnr. Johannes Siwela en Mnr. Wiskey Mab-elane s: Hulle gaan wen.
Hulle kan al hul wedstryde wen en die beker vir ons bring, maar dis
ook n bietjie moeilik. Dinge raak soms bietjie warm op daai
veld.
Mr. Rulph Kgwete said: Im quite sure they can make it. We are
proud of them and how they play. I think they will come back home
with the Cup. They are in form now and Ja-pan was just a warm-up.
Theyve shaped-up now. Ill watch them on TV this weekend.
Mr. Precious Maphake said: South Africa will make it. Saturdays
score will be around 30-12. Ill be watching the game at home.
Spiritually I will be with them. They can go to the fi nal. It will
be against New Zealand. It will be tough but we will repeat history
and bring back the Cup.
Mr. Enos Makwana said: They will go through in the same way they
played the USA. This weekend will also be a score like with
America. It will eventually be South Africa vs New Zealand in the
fi nal and we will win there as well.
Mr. Choeukarema Mohlala said: Im support-ing the Springboks
because they are South African. They are going to win. 30 10.
Headman Emmanuel Mmopane said: They underestimated Japan, but
this game they will win. Im very positive. They will win the Cup as
well. I cannot wait to go and meet them at the airport when they
bring back the Cup.
Mr. Marcus Mongala said: They will defi nitely win. It will be
South Africa vs New Zealand in the fi nal. They still have it to
win. Japan was a wake-up call.
Mr. Nati Nandosi said: I support the Spring-boks but they will
lose this weekend because the left wing is their weakest link and
that is where Wales will take advantage. Habanna is a key player
but injuries can make us lose easily. The advantage is that they
will play at their training grounds which is a little like
home.
Mnr. Carl Lourens s: Ek weet nie of die game n ho telling gaan h
nie. Dit sal n harde een wees, maar as hulle nie doellose skoppies
skop nie, kan hulle wen. Spanne wat in lyn staan vir n eindstryd is
Suid-Afri-ka, Australi en Nieu-Seeland.
Mr. Sydney Mashego said: They will win. They will eventually
bring back the trophy. I support them. They are the biggest team in
South Africa.
Mr. S. Komalo said: The Springboks will win. They will be very
strong. They will exchange a lot of players during the game.
Right: Mr. Neo Zain said: The Springboks have some injuries so I
think they might lose this weekend, but I still support them.

Not everyone agrees as this sms received by Platinum Gazettes
editor proves:
This is not how we want to express our feelings. Our villages
are turned into a war zone by a few unscrapulous (sic) people who
serve no ones interests but their own. It is high time that the
authorities, community and the mining companies sit down together
in an all inclusive meeting to seek for solutions that will last
forever. The previous methods wherein the disgruntled few were
addressed separately away from the community have not worked for
us. The solution is to involve all the stakeholders in the
community. The meeting should be held at the chiefs home-stead
where a tribal resolution, binding to everyone could be
reached.
According to reports at least ten vehicles were set alight by
residents of villages along the R555 road between De Hoop Dam and
Steelpoort this week amid angry protests over lack of job
opportunities in the local mining sector.
Still burning but...Four trucks, four buses and two cars
were set alight on Tuesday night by residents as they demanded
jobs and development in the area.
The protesters claimed mining companies had failed to deliver on
earlier promises to employ locals. They also burned tyres and
barricaded roads with debris. Drivers were reportedly pulled off
from their vehicles and ordered to run.
On Wednesday, the majority of mine workers, many of whom reside
far from their places of work, did not report for duty as there
were no buses travelling on the route due to protests.
Public order police had again been deployed to monitor and
maintain peace in the area. Protestors reportedly vowed to continue
with their protests until the Depart-ment of Mineral Resources made
sure that mining companies fulfi lled their social labour and
social development policy obligations as enlisted on the mining
license conditions.

Steelies leer studeerLeerders van Steelpoort Akademie het
gedurende die afgelope Oktober vakansie n Mind Moves studiekursus
bygewoon. Die kursus handel oor tegnieke en die praktiese
toe-passing daarvan om reg te leer. Van die tegnieke wat behandel
en aangeleer is, sluit in: breinstormsessies en breinkaarte,
assosiasies, sleutel en asblikwoorde, tydsbeplanning, eksamen en
toetsvoorbereiding. Die kursus is daarop gerig om leerders te help
om hulself beter te leer ken en hul voorkeur leerstyl te identifi
seer en ontwikkel. Elke leerder ste sterk eien-skappe word met n
profi eltoetsing betaal en daardie eienskappe word dan ingespan om
hulle te help om met selfvertroue struikelblokke in hul leerproses
aan te pak. Van die leerders het die volgende oor die kursus ges:
Lodewyk: My doelwit vir die jaar is om hard te leer deur Mind Moves
oefening te doen en breinkaarte te maak. Zune: Ek gaan gereeld Mine
Moves doen sodat ek minder stres en beter oplet in die klas. Ek het
die kursus baie geniet en weet dat dit my gaan help. Roddy: Nou
weet ek hoe om breinkaarte te maak en sleutelwoorde te gebruik. Ek
het die kursus baie geniet en dink dit gaan my help om op te som.
Ons het lekker speletjies gespeel en gelag. Thinus: Ek het nooig
geweet ek kan met
my linkerhand teken nie. Ek gaan meer by die huis lees, sodat ek
goed kan wees met spoedlees. Ek het verskil-lende spoedleestegnieke
geleer, en weet nou watter een die beste vir my werk. Chene: Ek het
geleer dat ek wel met my vinger mag volg as ek lees. Dit help my om
vinniger te lees en meer te onthou. Ek het ook geleer dat breinkos
en water belan-grik is vir my brein. Samantha: My doelwit vir die
jaar is om hor punte te kry deur reg te leer, Mind Moves te doen en
gesond te eet. Dit was baie lekker dat die juffrou my baie gehelp
het en was die lekkerste week wat ek ooit gehad het. (Inligting

The Sanlam Cancer Challenge season of 2015 will come to an end
next week when the fi nals will take place at Sun City.
The purpose of the challenge is to raise funds and aware-ness
annually for the fi ght against cancer. Golfers from the Lowveld
supported Sanlam and CANSA beginning of May till the end of July to
join in the fi ght against cancer. Staff from CANSA did cancer
awareness and provided sunblock. Club members played in the
competition while tourist enjoyed their golf in the Lowveld while
supporting the event. Men and women took part in this annual event
to raise funds for CANSA.
The Lowveld Region raised a record amount of R 122 139,00 in
2015. CANSA wishes to thank every player, donor and spon-sor that
made a contribution.
CANSA Lowveld wants to thank Johan Aucamp, Nico Cross, Paul du
Plooy and Anton Smit, the Sanlam representatives, who did excellent
work again this year to make the season a huge success. They
attended, promoted and organized with such devotion!
We also want to thank the Golf Clubs and their managers who
supported this project with their unfailing enthusiasm.
CANSA Lowveld wishes all our regional fi nalists all of the best
at the SCC fi nals in Sun City.
Cansa says thank you
