American stars Simon and Garfunkel probably did not exactly know what they were singing in 1964 when they sung the words on the photograph for the first time. Parts of Burgersfort is fed-up with a massive power outage since Tuesday this week, and with it, no water, as the pumps are not working because of the lack of electricity. At the time of going to press, some businesses were on the verge to take legal action because they are losing tens of thousands of rand per day, while Eskom tries to quench the crisis. At the time of going to press, the electricity was still off and rage mounting. The photograph was taken in a supermarket by Platinum Gazette when the electricity went. The editor received the photograph on his photo stream with the message “Your newspaper is going to be late. I am stuck in the supermarket. No power”. Oh well ....

So, we had a hectic few days in Burgersfort. Month-end for industries and everybody else on the same weekend. And everybody only thought about themselves and tried to be the biggest road hogs in existence. The traffic cops tried their best, but they were ignored, and the editor has seen them being verbally abused and shouted at by motorists. Give them a break, they only want to do their job.
A quant little town with it’s issues Ohrigstad is known for its fertile land. Especially their potholes as can be seen in the bottom photograph where plants almost reach knee high. It also seems as if the town has an abundance of water as this water leak in the photograph (left) wasted a lot while supplying water to the not-completed-yet sports field in the background.

Are you going to make South Africans are gearing up for the 2016 municipal elections. Municipal elections are held every five years to elect councillors who are responsible for governing a municipality over a five year term. The current term of office of municipal councillors will come to an end on 18 May 2016. Councillors are there to serve the town and make sure that services such as water, electricity and sanitation is delivered to the citizens of that area. The date of the elections will be known once the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs has proclaimed it. To keep within the constitution this date must be somewhere between 18 May and 16 August 2016. In order to be able to vote in this election, citizens should be registered on the voters roll. To be able to register you need to be a South African citizen, be at least 16 years old (but you can only vote once your are 18), have a barcoded green ID book, smartcard ID or a valid Temporary Identity Certificate (TIC). You also need to register within South Africa. This weekend the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) will be hosting various registration points where prospective voters can make sure that they are registered. You can also make an appointment to apply for registration during office hours at your local IEC office responsible for your voting district. Registrations must be done in person and no online registration is available. When you apply to be registered as a voter you will fill in an application form. Your ID book will be scanned and a barcoded sticker posted in the green ID book or on your valid TIC. If you have a smartcard ID, the sticker will be pasted on a special form that will be given to you. Getting the sticker and completing the form does not mean you are registered, it only means you’ve applied for registration. To process the application may take up to 7 working days. To check your registration details you can send an SMS with your ID number to 32810 (R1,00 per SMS), download the IEC’s mobile app and enter your ID number there, check your registration details online, check at your voting station during the registration weekend or check at your local IEC office during office hours. People should remember that during the municipal elections you will be required to vote at the voting station where you are registered. So if you have moved to another area, you will have to re-register. Platinum Gazette asked readers if they plan to register this weekend and why they feel it is important or not.
Mr Abel Maatjie said: “My vote will make a difference. I’ll register this weekend. Everyone must register. If you don’t, they’ll take our country down”. Mr Jan Mokakati and Ms Rosy Mokakati said: “We are going to check that we are registered this weekend. We want to vote and we are prepared to make changes. We can’t wait for Zuma to fall”.
Mr Danny Mathokwane and Ms Selaelo Mathokwane said: “It is important to register this weekend. Your vote is your voice. It is the only time we get a chance to voice our preferences. We are going to make sure we are registered and vote later in the year”.
Mr Steven Nonyana said: “Yes, I’ll register. It is our time to choose who should govern us. I want to have a say in who governs me and what I want. Everyone should register, every vote counts. I don’t really know where to register, but normally we get advice at work on where we should go”.
Mnr Aaron Lekwadi sê: “Ja, ek gaan registreer in Driekop waar ek bly. Dis belangrik. Almal moet seker maak hulle kan gaan vote. Elke stem tel”.
Bo: Me. Vallery Pieterse en Mnr. Louis Pieterse sê: “Ons is geregistreer maar sal gaan seker maak ons besonderhede is reg. Dis belangrik want elke stem gaan tel in hierdie verkiesing. Jy kan nie kla oor goed wat nie reg is nie, as jy nie gestem het nie”.
Mr Stephen Mphego said: “It is very important for people to vote. Your vote is your voice. If you abstain from voting how will you participate in government? Make sure your details are updated on the voters roll. I’ll be the first in town to do that this weekend. You should participate”.
Left: Mr Ronny Mogoane said: “I’m going to register in order to vote. The only way we can bring about change is by changing our vote. I used to be part of the ruling party, but they are not the party they used to be. I think that maybe a party like the DA can bring real change in our lives. They can perhaps bring a better life for all and create more jobs”.
Ms. Letta Nonyane said: “I’m going to vote so I’ll have to register this weekend. It is important”.

sure you are registered?
Mr Stone Setladi and Mr Mathews Riba said: “It is important to register. Everyone is complaining about things that are not working and the ANC who is doing this and that wrong, but if you don’t register and if you don’t vote for change, nothing will change. Everyone’s vote counts. We’ll definitely make sure that we are registered”.
Ms. Anna Moshwane and Ms. Hetty Mkanzi said: “We’re already registered. Our votes will make a difference. Everyone should register and vote later in the year”.
Me. Marica Geldenhuys en Mnr. Shaun Maloney sê: “Dis belangrik om te registreer. Die IEC moet seker maak mense weet waar hulle kan registreer. Ons sal gaan seker maak ons besonderhede is op die kieserslys. Mense wat nie gaan vote nie, kan nie na die tyd oor ‘n gebrek aan dienslewering kla nie”.
Mr Godfrey Mokofane, Mr Edwin Malele and Mr Thabo Mongadi said: “Our votes will make a difference. We know about the registration as we saw the posters and saw it on social media. We are ready to register. Ons dink dis belangrik om te kan vote”.
Mr Dalton Sambo said: “Yes, I will register. I want to elect people who I believe are the best for the job. We want our voices to be heard”.
Mnr. Werner Keulder sê: “Jy moet stem en daarom moet jy sorg dat jy hierdie naweek registreer. As jy nie stem nie gaan jou stem in elk geval vir die regerende party. Sonder om te stem sal ons nie die ANC uit die stoel haal nie. Kyk net na ons kragvoorsiening hierdie week! Dis deel van hoekom ons die ANC uit wil hê”.
Mr Reuben Marebane said: “Yes, I’ll have to register. I have my rights and I cannot fight for a better life if I don’t vote. I must register and vote and not be passive this weekend”.
Mr Brian Baloyi said: “Yes, I feel it is time to vote for a difference so everyone should make sure that they are registered, I’ll also do so. The IEC should however be making it clearer where we can go and register”.
Me. Nastasja Schutte sê: “Ja, ek gaan verseker registreer. ‘n Mens kan so ‘n verskil maak”. Mnr Peter Mononyane sê: “`Ja, ek gaan registreer hierdie naweek. Ons soek changes so almal moet gaan registreer om the kan stem. Dis belangrik”.
Mr William Mokhabela said: “Yes, I’ll be registering to vote. It will help us to get things better if everyone votes”.
Mr Godfrey Rachidi said: “It it important. Your vote is your power, especially if you want to see changes with regards to infrastructure etc. If you feel you are not getting justice from the current government, vote for change. This is important if you are lacking services and struggling. I am however feeling indifferent to all of this and won’t really bother with it. I am not really affected”.

How do you see the Olifants River? Local artists called to participate in the Ko Nokeng exhibition On 18 March, iNyoka Gallery, in collaboration with the Association for Water and Rural Development (AWARD), is opening the Ko Nokeng exhibition in Hoedspruit. Themed around the Olifants River, the art on display represents people’s appreciation for this vital life source, which means different things to different people. A farmer in Groblersdal views the river in a different way to a grandmother in Penge, a tourist who experiences the river from within the Kruger National Park or a subsistence farmer in Mozambique, says AWARD’s assistant director, Derick du Toit. What all of them have in common though is an experience of the river that is changing as conditions in the Olifants Catchment change. Some of the drivers of change include abstraction of water for agricultural or industrial purposes, a mining explosion and governance structures that affect how water and natural resources are managed. “The data is telling us that the system is under enormous pressure, with potentially devastating effects on the people who rely on the river for their livelihoods,” says AWARD’s director, Dr. Sharon Pollard. Experts believe the effects of climate change will exacerbate the pressures on the Olifants system. By hosting the exhibition, iNyoka and its members are sharing their views of the system and the river at its heart. “Art represents, it challenges, it inspires. The current drought shows how vulnerable we all are and how we rely on natural resources, so this is really an exciting opportunity to use art to see the river through the eyes of the people who love and rely on it,” says artist and iNyoka board member, Mark Blair. AWARD hopes that by engaging with the issues creatively (coupled with robust science) everyone living in the Olifants Catchment will begin to feel a sense of ownership and responsibility for Our Olifants – and how our actions affect one another. “We believe downstream users should support action further upstream and that those upstream should realise what is happening downstream. We should ask ourselves, how can we work together to make the catchment more resilient?” says Pollard. Everyone is invited to the exhibition opening on 18 March at 18h00. There will be live music, snacks and a cash bar. The event will also signal the launch of the #OurOlifants campaign. Artists who would like to exhibit or get involved in the gallery should contact art@ inyokagallery.com or ourolifants@gmail.com. All work needs to be submitted, ready to hang, by 14 March 2016. If you’re not ready in time, there will be a follow-up event later in
the year. You can follow the campaign using #OurOlifants. AWARD is a non-profit organisation specializing in participatory, research-based project implementation. Their work addresses issues of sustainability, inequity and poverty
by building natural-resource management competence and supporting sustainable livelihoods. One of their current projects, supported by USAID, focuses on the Olifants River and the way in which people living in South Africa and Mozambique depend on the Olifants and its contributing waterways. It aims to improve water security and resource management in support of the healthy ecosystems to sustain livelihoods and resilient economic development in the catchment. Anyone interested in learning more about AWARD can visit www.award.org.za or the Our Olifants website www.ourolifants.com. About iNyoka Gallery iNyoka Gallery is run by an artists’ association. The gallery is located in the Kinyonga Reptile Park complex on the R527, about 14 kilometres from Hoedspruit town in the direction of the Abel Erasmus pass. The
complex also contains a framing business, art supply shop and gift shop. The vision for the gallery has always been to provide a democratic, member-run space that will give artists from Hoedspruit and the surrounding areas a place to exhibit their work and grow
as a creative community. The bulk of the profit from art sold goes straight to the artists, with the gallery taking a minimal commission to defray running costs. Visit www.inyokagallery.com for more information. (Photograph below: Villiers Steyn, AWARD)
