Samancor Eastern Chrome Mines celebrates 4 Million Fatality Free Shifts
S
amancor Eastern Chrome Mines (ECM) celebrated 4 Million Fatality Free Shifts (FFS) last week. Samancor ECM has been recognised as one of the leaders within the mining industry by a variety of stakeholders by a variety of stakeholders, including the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) and unions representing the employees. The company however acknowledges the importance of not becoming complacent and while thanking employees for their safe and careful dayto-day work, emphasized that everyone should be their brother’s keeper every day. The celebrations stretched over two days and offered all the mines an opportunity to come together and reflect on the achievement, but also focus on the road ahead to keep safety a number one priority. The celeThumbs up for safety with Samancor ECM safety mascot, Jonkie Jonkie.

brations were attended by representatives from the DMR, Unions, Samancor Corporate Head Office employees - including Mr Jürgen Schalamon, the Chief Executive Officer, Mr Desmond McManus Chief Operations Officer as well as ECM employees. The programme included congratulations on the achievement, but also looked back and remembering fellow employees who have lost their lives between 2005 and 2014. The last fatality at Samancor ECM was on 3 July 2014. Mr John Botha, Samancor Corporate Head of SHEQ, told employees that everyone should take responsibility for his or her own safety. “In every mining accident there are witnesses who can account what happened minute to minute. In most cases accidents can be prevented if employees take responsibility to address any unsafe working conditions. You have a right to a safe working environment”. Mr McManus added that the Samancor leadership team would like to see every employee grow old and grey together. “We want you to go back safe to your family after every shift”. Adding to this Mr Schalamon applauded the employees and praised them for being vigilant when it comes to safety. He underlined the importance of the right to a safe workplace. “I gave you a ‘Red stop card’ and that gives you the right to withdraw from unsafe places until the problems have been rectified. No victimisation or intimidation will be tolerated should you use the ‘Red stop card’ to make sure that unsafe work areas are made safe before work resume”. Mr Emile Britz, General Manager of Samancor ECM thanked and praised employees for their hard work in steering the company from being good to great. During every session safety representatives from the different mines, DMR and representatives from NUM also had an opportunity to speak. During one of the sessions, NUM North East region chairman and NUM national deputy chairman, Mr Philip Vilakazi applauded Samancor ECM for caring about their employees and setting the standard in the industry. He encouraged both management and employees to work together to continue to improve the safety within the company. The programme included industrial theatre focusing on maintaining safety in the workplace. Employees also had the opportunity to win prizes by answering work safety related questions. Each session ended with employees being treated to a braai where they could relax before heading home.

Mines crucial to the economy AND appreciated’ - Mayor In his State of the Local Municipality specch, Mayor Maudu Johannes Phokane stressed the vital role of the mines in our area, saying “Our area is blessed with abundance of the raw materials which had necessitated the growth of the Mining sector. The positive aspects of the sector is that many people got employed and made the economy of our region to grow and also paved a way for the SMME`s to participate. However, there has been dissatisfaction from the communities as they feel that the Mines are not doing enough to develop and empower the locals. We have seen many protests organised by the communities around the Mining operations wanting their concerns to be taken into consideration. As government we believe in engagements to resolve issues and discourage any form of violence or intimidation” that “No amount of violence can solve problems and we must learn to sit down and engage extensively until we find a solution”. He said: “Our LED department has a Mining forum which sits regularly to interact on the operations of the Mines and their contribution to the communities. We hope that the forum will not be a talk show but a platform where development of our communities is a major priority. Our major concern is the fragmented community fora which make life not to be easy in the Mines. We would like to appeal to all community development fora to come together and establish a vehicle that push common interest for our communities. United we stand and divided we fall”. He thanked the mining sector by saying : “Allow me to pay special appreciation to the Mining houses for the contribution they have made in changing the landscape of our Municipality in terms of socio-economic development. The Mining industry is here to stay and despite the challenges we are facing, their contribution towards the economy is enormous and must be appreciated”. He tanked the mines individually for everything they contributed during the past year, as well as their pledges for the future saying: “The Municipality acknowledges that it has an important role to play in bringing harmony between the mining industry and the communities nearby. It also is aware of its responsibility to direct and drive development in the whole of the Municipal area and the mining industry remains its ally in pursuit of radical socio-economic transformation. For that reason, the Municipality has appointed a service provider who will assist in ensuring that a better and rewarding cooperation and partnership is forged with the mining industry to ultimately open opportunities for the economic emancipation of the majority of our people and completely transform the face of the areas of Fetakgomo Tubatse. We also intend to hold a Fetakgomo Tubatse Mining indaba in which we would expect to gather all relevant stakeholders to come carve a way regarding how to advance and unlock rapid economic development within our area”.

Illegal Eskom connections a headache Eskom has warned the public against infrasturcture and electricity theft, including illegal electricity connections. “Our major concern in the case of illegal connections is that danger is posed not only to the people who engage in illegal connections, but also to the rest of their community, particularly children and animals that form part of the environment,” said the power utility’s Divisional Executive for Security, Tebogo Rakau. Illegal connections are the leading cause of unplanned power outages. “Eskom encourages all community
members to report any unsafe and illegal power conditions or connections they come across. These include exposed electrical wiring, low-hanging cables, illegal connections, vandalised electrical equipment such as substations and exposed electrical cables due to theft or vandalism.” Eskom said the public can report electricity and infrastructure theft anonymously to Crime Line on 32211 (at R1 per SMS) or call 0800 11 2722. The identity of those who report theft incidents remains completely protected. Alternatively call 086 003 7566.
No need to panic about land K. Rantho writes about the land expropriation issue in reaction to “Talking about land expropriation” published on page 11 of Platinum Gazette of 29 June 2018: “The Pan Africanist Congress of Azania in Driekop Ga Maroga want to put the PAC’s position to the people of Azania that land is our heritage that must be under the custodianship of the Government. Therefore no one has to panic because the primary objective is to take care of its people, because currently only a few rich people are the people who have access to the use of the land - variously so.

MEC for Sport, Art and Culture resigns The MEC for Sport, Arts and Culture, Onicca Moloi this week resigned from her position as MEC in the Limpopo Provincial Government. The resignation came after recent social media comments she made. Limpopo Premier, Mr Chupu Stanley Mathabatha accepted the resignation and has appointed Mr Rob Tooley as acting MEC for Sport, Arts and Culture until the position can be permanently filled. Moloi was thanked for her performance as MEC and work as part of the Executive Council. In a statement issued by Soviet Lekganyane, the Provincial Secretary of the ANC in Limpopo the party
Africans, we belong to one race, that race is the human race. I don’t think it is proper for people to cater their own self interest. The people of Azania in this current situation need land for livestocks for grazing. It is not right to see their livestock dying of hunger because of scarcity of places to graze. People need land for residential areas. Currently only indigenous African people are squatting at their place of birth because of unavailability of land that Government can use to build houses for people. This is because 87% of fertile land is private”.
“takes, in a serious light, the manner in which Cde Onnica Moloi conducted herself in the week leading up to the Premier accepting her resignation”. He added that they will engage further with Moloi and that “The ANC remains a home to all the people of our country and thus, members who feel aggrieved in whatever way, are expected to use the available channels to raise their concerns”. Moloi had served as part of the ANC caucus in the Legislature and later as a member of the Provincial Legislature and then as a member of the Executive Council. She will remain a member of the Limpopo Legislature.

Ons betaal baie kostes, veral by die Lodges en ek is seker by die besighede ook. In Polokwane het die munisipaliteit ‘n ‘dumping site’ op ‘n erf waar daar ‘n klomp ‘bins’ staan. Daar is grond tot teen die bokant van die ‘bin’ sodat jy kan op ry en maklik die rommel daarin kan gooi. Die mense gooi hulle rommel daarin en die munisipaliteit verwyder dit op hulle onkoste. Dalk kan dit die dorp help om skoner te bly. Dis nie regverdig teenoor ons om te vra dat ons weekliks 90km moet ry om ons rommel weg te gooi nie”.

Have your say about learners being taught about abortion and pregnancy prevention The Basic Education Department has extended the deadline for comments on a policy that seeks to educate learners about abortion and pregnancy prevention methods as part of the school curriculum until the 30 July 2018. “The Department of Basic Education (DBE) has extended the deadline for written submissions on the National Policy on the Prevention and Management of Learner Pregnancy in Schools,” the department said in a statement. Earlier this year, the department issued a gazette in which it invited comments from stakeholder bodies and members of the public on the policy. The policy is an effort by government to address the high rate of learner pregnancy in the country. According to the department, the alarming pregnancy rates has become “a major social, systemic and fiscal challenge” not only for the basic education sector but for the national development in general. “It impacts the lives of many young people often limiting their personal growth, the pursuit of rewarding careers and their ambitions with incalculable impact on the country’s socio-economic systems,” said the department. The policy seeks to ensure the accessible provision of information
on prevention; choice of termination of pregnancy; care, counselling and support; frameworks for impact mitigation; and guidelines for systemic management and implementation. “In particular, it commits the basic education system and other role players to providing comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) crucial to optimal sexual and reproductive health. “The aim of CSE is to ensure that young people gain the knowledge and skills to make conscious, healthy and respectful choices about relationships and sexuality,” said the department. In addition, the policy asserts the constitutional rights of pregnant learners to continue and complete their basic education without stigma or discrimination. “It confirms that there should be no exclusion of pregnant learners who must be allowed to remain in school during their pregnancies and return as soon after giving birth as is appropriate for both the learner and her child,” said the department. Interested parties are invited to comment on the policy in writing via email to pregnancypolicy@dbe.gov.za or fax to 012 328 8401. Closing date for comments is 30 July 2018. The policy document is available on the www.education.org.za

Groot dankbaarheid om honger magies dié winter te kan vul Die Leeuwvallei Christen Gemeente skryf: “Soms is ‘n mens so dankbaar dat jy nie regtig weet hoe om dankie te sê nie. Ons wil graag vir Naranja Packers dankie sê vir die lemoene en naartjies. Ons waardeer dit baie en ons kinders geniet elke skyfie van die naartjies. Ons wil ook ons dank uitspreek teenoor Pick n Pay Steelpoort. Damian en Lodwig, baie dankie vir die kos wat u aan ons voorsien. Dankie dat ons bevoorreg is om aan kinders ‘n bord kos te gee. Dankie aan Magaba se bestuur vir ‘n pot sop. Oom Carl, ons waardeer daardie sop. Baie dankie van Pastoor Williams en gemeente”. (Inligting en foto’s: Rosa Williams)
