ASA Metals is committed to uplift the communities in the areas it is operating in. One of ASA Metal’s core values is “Care”, whereby the company continuously develop people holistically in all areas.

ASA Metals’ main objective is to develop the quality of education for learners as a long term investment in order to create a pool where to draw skilled labour from in the future, thus their intension to fund schools for educational development.

Burgersfort remains one of ASA Metals’ important labour sending areas, with a remarkable number of employees living there. The Department of Mineral Re-sources (DMR)M statement to the mines recommends that areas from where employees are coming and do contribute to the company’s production, need to be developed even if it is outside the radius that the com-pany covers in terms of Social Development initiatives.

Therefore the company decided to donate an amount of R200 000 to Laerskool Burgersfort. Accord-ing to the Principal, Mr Coert Erasmus, this money will be utilised towards the completion of new classrooms which are much needed to accommodate the huge demand of new learners.

Bottom fl tr are Mrs Elize Moll (SGB), Mr Coert Erasmus (Principal, Laerskool Burgersfort), Mr Hardley Ramodgadi (ASA Metals) and Mr Kleinjan du Toit (CEO ASA Metals).

Eskom this week again warned South Afri-cans that load shedding may be necessary as the country is vulnerable to faults in the elec-trical supply system, especially during times of extra load. They called on customers to switch off gey-sers, air conditioners, pool pumps and all non-essential items during the day. Eskom do load shedding (switching off sup-ply to certain areas for a few hours at a time) in different stages. Stage 1 allows for up to 1000MW of the national load to be cut, stage 2 for up to 2000MW and stage 3 for up to 4000MW. On Tuesday this week Eskom start-ed with stage 1 cuts but later escalated it to stage 2. Platinum Gazette asked readers if they’ve ex-perienced any recent load shedding and how they cope with this.

Mr. Johannes Riba said: “I’ve experienced it where I stay. It is not good. I have extra lights that we charge and use when the lights go out. We save electricity by switching almost everything off”.

Mnr. Gerrie van Vuuren sê: “’n Generator is seker al oplossing wat ons nou het. Dis maar moeilik. By die besigheid kan ‘n mens nie reg-tig spaar nie en by die huis is dit maar normale elektrisiteitsverbruik”.

Mr. Thabang Skhonza, Ms. Alonia Machubeng and Mr. Rollen Mashe-go said: “We don’t have back-up plans for when the electricity goes out. When it comes to where we work. We lose customers because of load shedding. Government must really do something. Away with load shedding! We try to save by switching off the geyser in the day. We do our part to save electricity”.

Mr. Frederick Lesinya and Mr. John Ngwane said: “We are not that much affected. When there is no power it is just back to the old school way of life. We try to save by unplug-ging things during the day – not just to help Eskom, but because electricity is so expen-sive”.

Mr. Walter Mokoena said: “Yes, sure I’ve ex-perienced it. It is not good. If each and every user save just 10% by switching off their gey-sers and appliances that are not in use it will be better. I keep candles as a back up. I ex-perienced load shedding very badly in 2008 in Johannesburg. Here it is a rural area and we can use wood and the three-legged pot to cook. I think the load shedding here has only started”.

Ms. Lerato Tjie, Ms. Nadia de Jager and Mr. Bongani Phephenyane said: “At work we experience it. It is hard. People come in and just start using the computer and then the power goes off. It is frustrating us a lot”. Nadia added: “At home we also experience it. It is usually off be-tween 18:00 and 21:00 and then you have to make plans to cook. We try to save electricity. We have timers on our geysers and it only comes on at night for a few hours”.

Mr. Moses Maile said: “When there is no electricity we use paraffi n, coal and fi re to cook. It is danger-ous. We struggle without electrici-ty. We switch off geysers and other things, so we are trying to save where we can”.

Right: Mr. Thaba Sole said: “In the workplace it is af-fecting us. When there is no elec-tricity the smoke extractors are not working. We are also losing custom-ers while the rent is staying the same. We are losing. I’ve not really experi-enced it at home. When I leave in the morning I switch off my geyser – we are trying to help Es-kom”.

Left: Mr. Benny Mnisi said: “It af-fects our working environment. Our equipment, air con-ditioners, fridges and other things don’t work. How will be we pay our rent if there is no business because there is no power?”

Ms. Joana Mnisi and Ms. Smilly Malapane said: “It affect us at our work. We lose a lot of customers. We do get notice of the power cuts, but we are still losing. There is no back-up plan. When the electricity is off, the air con-ditioners are not working and customers don’t want to stay because it is too hot”.

Mnr. Thabo Mongadi sê: “Dit gebeur baie by die werk maar nie by my huis nie. As dit ge-beur is die besigheid sleg en kan die mense nie werk nie”.

Left: Mr. Mzam-ani Baloyi said: “Yes, I’ve expe-rienced it. It is frustrating. Es-kom must give us the electric-ity we want be-cause we suffer damages if there is no electricity. I want them to warn me when there will be no electricity”.

Mr. David Mndawu said: “It is happening. It is frustrating. It happens when you work or shower and suddenly you stand in the dark. They should do load shedding during the day and keep it on during peak hours. I am not always prepared. The shops also close when there is no electricity”.

Right: Mr. Willy Seloane said: “The business-es are suffering. Children cannot use the com-puters at school so now they will fail. There is nothing we can do”.

Mr. Jim Nkuna said: “At the moment we don’t have much load shedding but R100’s worth of electricity only lasts 3 days. We only have the fridge, TV and lights on. It is becoming too expensive.”

Right: Mr. Patrick Mnisi said: “It hap-pened to me. It is just gone with-out them letting us know. I keep candles, but it is inconvenient. It is hot here and our fridges defrost. Government must work with Eskom to fi x this”.

Me. O’Dilhea Keulder en Me. Charmain Janse van Rensburg sê: “Load shedding in skole af-fekteer die kinders se akademiese prestasie. Skole wat moet water pomp sukkel omdat die pompe nie werk nie en in die hitte is dit vrees-lik. In gevalle waar daar wel air conditioners in die klasse is, werk dit nie en kinders kry hitte-fl outes. Dit beïnvloed oor die algemeen die kwaliteit van werk”.

Regs: Mnr. Petrus Molopo sê: “Es-kom en die ANC eet saam die geld wat vir die opgradering en opwek-king van krag moes gaan. Die mense steel ook baie krag by Eskom en as die polisie hulle net sal vang sal dit beter gaan. Load shedding is sleg”.

Ms. Florence Makgeru said: “It’s a problem. They don’t properly notify people. There is no solution. Government must work hard to employ those who have the knowl-edge to fi x this”. With her is Ms. Lydia Maleka.

Left: Mr. Victor Morena said: “There is no solu-tion. The people of messed up Eskom so bad-ly that there is no money now to fi x anything. We prepare for this by having candles and paraffi n handy”.
