“Johannesburg, Monday 30 January 2012 African Rainbow Minerals Limited (ARM) and Anglo American Platinum Limited, joint venture partners of the Modikwa Platinum Mine (“Modikwa” or “the Mine”) regret to announce the fatal injury of two employees at Modikwa. On Friday, 27 January 2012, two employees were fatally injured in an unfortunate fall of ground accident. Operations at the Mine have since been halted to allow for a re-evaluation of safety procedures. The Company would like to express its sincerest condolences to the family, colleagues and friends of the deceased.” Only a few weeks to go before this diamond in the mining safety crown in South Africa and internationally would have reached the nine million fatality free shifts benchmark, this official communique from ARM landed on editors’ desks. Unofficially Platinum Gazette learned of the deahs of a female and male employee last week Friday. More information about the accident were not available at the time of going to press, apart from the fact that a memorial service for the deceased was held at the mine on Wednesday. A request by the newspaper to attend was not granted. Mr Reginald Kgoedi of the mine confirmed on Wednesday that production had not been normalised yet after the accident. The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) expressed concern over the “ever-increasing” number of mine deaths. NUM spokesperson Lesiba Seshoka stated that the 2011 death toll of over 120 in the South African mining industry was crushing the government’s goal of zero fatality. “The NUM strongly believes that drastic action is needed to compel the mining industry to comply with safety standards and procedures. The Presidential Audit into mine safety revealed that only 67% of mines comply with the Mine Health and Safety Act,” he said. He further added that the NUM remained of the view that the State should undertake a technical audit into the mining industry and its aging and ailing infrastructure. “We call on the State to hold the industry fully accountable for its failures and adopt a no-nonsense approach when it comes to mine deaths,” Seshoka said.

Greater Tubatse Municipality’s Council had their first meeting for the year on Tuesday in the council chamber in the municipal building up on the hill in Burgersfort. Not everybody was there, with two apologies. Notably some of the opposition members were also not there, but they did not apologise. Apart from the normal council business, a surprise also awaited councillors in the form of a visit by a representative of the Auditor General’s office, with areport on the council’s financial affairs to be tabled. This report was not discussed, other than the fact that the council heard from the Auditor genral’s office that they received a qualified report. On four aspects, and one of the aspects has to do with problems regarding supply chain. The gentleman from the Auditor genral’s office told the council that a meeting will be scheduled where the report will be discussed, especially the four qualifications (or bad news, problem aspects). The Mayor, Councillor Nkosi Josias Mahlake, moved that further debate about the report be postponed until after the envisaged meeting. Other things of note is that the Mayor told the council that everything is done from the municipality side to repair infrastructure that was damaged by the recent heavy rains and to make routes accessible again.

Conspiracy ‘Section 54 stoppages impact to kill case negatively on production’ postponed The case against six men charged with conspiring to kill a community leader in Swale village near Burgersfort was postponed by the Burgersfort Magistrate's Court on Monday. Businessman Philemon Tebele, 51, his three sons and two employees, remain in custody until their next appearance on February 6. Police spokesperson Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi said the 51year-old man was arrested at his home on Saturday, while his three sons and two employees were rounded up during the course of the day. Last year local residents accused the 51-year-old man of committing a ritual murder. He then allegedly tried to hire assassins in a bid to kill the man who had mobilised locals against him. “On the 23rd of November last year, James Tebele, 48, went missing and his decomposed body was found on the 30th the same month. “In retaliation, the community attacked the businessman after he was alleged to have been the last to person to be seen with the victim. His house was burnt and one of his shops was also pelted with stones.” Crime intelligence officers then set a trap posing as potential hitmen and were given a firearm together with R2 000, leading to the arrest of the six. An inquest docket was opened after Tebele’s body was found. Police were still awaiting the results of a forensic examination. Three other men would appear in the same court in February charged with public violence related to the attack on the businessman’s property.

Aquarius Platinum CEO Stuart Murray has criticised the increasing number of safety stoppages in South Africa and said the country has become a “difficult place” to operate in. The ASX-, LSE- and JSE-listed miner reported a 4% quarter-on-quarter drop in its attributable production to 105 629 oz of platinum-group metals (PGMs) in the three months to the end of December, which Murray partly blamed on the “widespread and sometimes unjustified” application of Section 54 stoppages. “This issue is making the South African mining industry a difficult place in which to operate and while zero-harm is laudable, there must be practical implementation of the law. Not only have the incidences of these stoppages risen markedly, in many cases the time now taken by the regional department to resolve these stoppages has risen from two days to a week or sometimes more,” he said. The Section 54 stoppages increased in frequency for all South Africa’s platinum miners, with both Anglo American Platinum and Lonmin indicating last week that they were discussing more appropriate safety mechanisms with the Department of Mineral Resources, as the current trend of safety stoppages adversely impacted on production. Murray also slammed the regulatory environment in Zimbabwe, where it owns the Mimosa mine, which reported flat output.“Some of the stakeholders in both countries in which we operate simply do not grasp the fact that there are only 100c in the rand and 100 pennies in the dollar. There is simply no more to be taken before operations are threatened.” Murray said the challenges facing the region’s platinum industry should not be underestimated. “PGM margins are now low in both rand and dollar terms and oversupply,

coupled with poor economic outlook is likely to ensure that this remains the case, at least in the short term.” Production at the Everest project between Lydenburg and Roossenekal was negatively impacted by a protected two-week strike by Members of the Association of Mining and Construction Unions employed by contractor Murray & Roberts Cementation. Production fell by 19% quarter-onquarter to 18 712 oz – its lowest level in 18 months and cash costs rose by 10% to R10 737/oz. Everest’s revenue declined by 34% to R140-million compared to the previous quarter. Attributable production from the Kroondal mine fell by 27% year-on-year and 2% quarter-on-quarter to 43 398 oz in the December quarter. Marikana’s output declined by 12% year-on-year to 14 404 oz. This was, however, an 11% increase on the 12 996 oz produced in the September quarter. Despite issues relating to the implementation of the new hangingwall support methodology at the Kroondal and Marikana mines being largely resolved during the quarter, production remained below capacity owing to the widespread application of Section 54 safety stoppages. Kroondal’s revenue fell by 16% to R642-million quarter-on-quarter due to lower volumes and a reduction in the basket price, which resulted in a negative sales adjustment of R125-million. Similarly, revenue at Marikana decreased by 4% to R221-million quarter-on-quarter despite increased volumes, owing to lower basket prices, which resulted in a negative sales adjustment of R40-million. Average PGMs dollar prices deteriorated in the quarter with platinum and palladium falling by 14% and 17% respectively, while rhodium fell 16%

What is heartburn?

Advertorial

What is heartburn? Heartburn is a feeling of burning, warmth, heat or pain that often starts in the upper abdomen just beneath the lower breastbone. This discomfort may spread in waves upward into your throat and you may have a sour taste in your mouth. Heartburn is also called indigestion, acid regugutation, sour stomach or pyrosis. It is not caused by problems with the heart, although heart problems can sometimes feel like heartburn. Heartburn may cause problems with swallowing, buring, nausea or bloating. These symptoms can last up to 2 hours or longer. Sometimes heartburn problems can cause sleep problems, chronic cough, asthma, wheezing or choping episodes. Heartburn is usually worse after eating or made worse by lying down or bending over. It gets better if you sit or stand up. Almost everyone have troubles with heartburn now and then. Many women have heartburn when they are pregnant. What causes heartburn? Heartburn occurs when food and stomach juices back up into the esophagus, which is the tube that leads from the throat to the stomach. This process is called gastroesophageal reflux. Common causes of this includes: incomplete closing of the valve between the esophagus and the stomach. Food and drinks such as chocolate, peppermint, fried foods, fatty foods, sugars, coffee, carbonated drinks or alcohol may cuase this. Once heartburn occurs the backflow of stomach juices may cause the esophagus to become sensitive to other foods such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, spicy foods, garlic and onions. Eating these foods may cause more heartburn. Pressure on the stomach caused by obesity, frequent bending over and lifting, tight clothes, straining with bowel movements, vigorous exercise and pregnancy are also causes. Smoking and the use of tobacco products. Prescription and non-prescrition medicines such as aspirin, ibuprofen, prednisone, iron, potassium, antihistamines or sleeping pills can cause heartburn. Stress can increase the amount of acid your stomach makes and cause your stomach to empty more slowly. Severity of heartburn Mild heartburn occurs about once a month. Moderate heartburn occurs about once a week. Severe heartburn occurs every day and can cause problems such as trouble swallowing, bleeding or weightloss. Heartburn with other symptoms such as hoarseness, a feeling that food is stuck in your throat, tightness in your throat, asthma, dental problems etc. may be more serious.

Any advice for the new Springbok coach? Heyneke Meyer started his four year term as Springbok rugby coach on Wednesday this week. Meyer was previously the Blue Bulls coach and will now take the top rugby coaching position in the country which was held by Peter de Villiers until 31 January 2012. Meyer was previously assistant coach to the Springboks, but after he was not appointed as head coach when Jake White left the team, he quit. De Villiers this week said: “It wouldn’t be fair of me to comment on someone I don’t know. But what I can say is that it is a very difficult job that he finds himself in - extremely, extremely difficult. I wish him all the best, as he will need it!” We asked readers whether they think he is the right man for the position and what advice they would offer him in order to cope in one of the country’s toughest jobs.

Me. Mia Geldenhuys en me. Christa Loubser sê: “Ons raad aan hom is dat hy niks Bulle in die Springbokspan moet sit nie, maar ‘n klomp Sharks!” Mia voeg by: “En Cheetahs!”

Above: Ms. Lister Selepe and Ms Martha Selepe said: “He must take in new players to be successful”. With them are Moeletsi and Pheladi Selepe.

Mr. Hendrik Manyaka said: “If they will just change their strategy to make sure that the players can also give proper input, it will help the coach to be successful”.

Mnr. Ronnie Anderson en mnr. Frank van Niekerk sê: “Is hy die regte ou vir die werk? Gee hom ‘n kans, dit lyk of hy dit kan doen. Hy moet meer Sharks-spelers in die span bring”. Ms. Magnecia Lesese said: “Yes, Meyer is a good coach. He must just keep some of the experienced players in the team”.

Mr. April (Litre) Maepa said: “Heyneke Meyer must now consult throughout the country for the best players. He must also break the racial divide in rugby”. Ms Maggie Masufi said: “I think the only thing Meyer needs is time. He is new now. Give him time with the players and they will win. He is a good coach”.

Dr Florence Makgamatha said: “I think everybody can make it if you put your mind to it. He must just focus, trust his instincts, always be positive and put his mind to the goal. That way he’ll take them to higher levels”.

Mr Khutso Makofane said: “He is a good coach. He must now do player development. I like rugby and I want to see us win - always!”

Links: Mnr. Johannes Mkondo sê: “Ja, Mr Heyneke Meyer is ‘n goeie coach. Hy gaan die Springbokke uithaal by die begrafnis. My raad: hy moet net sy werk doen want hy is die beste coach in Suid Afrika. Hy het die Bulle gestoot, so hoekom nie ook die Springbokke nie?”

Regs: Mnr. Phillip Roetz sê: “Hy is natuurlik die regte aanstelling. Raad? Hy moet wen. Dit gaan altyd baie goed met ‘n Springbokafrigter as hy wen!”

Mr Willy Baloyi said: “The guy have to establish a nice relationship with the players and that will in the end make him the best coach. The coach of the moment and the best choice”.
