Fetakgomo and Greater Tubatse to merge

“Proposed disestablishment of Fetakgomo Local Municipality (LIM474) with a view to optimising the financial viability of these municipalities in the Sekhukhune District Municipality (DC47).” (Title of the map above right obtained from the Municipal Demarcation Board’s website) Ms Jane Thupana, the Chairperson of the Municipal Demarcation Board told the media last week Friday that the borders of a number of municipalities in the country will be redetermined after requests in this regard had been received from the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Mr Pravin Gordhan. She said that in January, February and April 2015, the Board received proposals from the Minister in terms of section 22(2) of the Municipal Demarcation Act, (Act No. 27 of 1998) requesting it to consider the re-configuration of boundaries of certain municipalities (constituting 34 cases) before the 2016 local elections. This was the first time a Minister had invoked section 22(2) since the Act was

Burgersfort, Steelpoort, Ohrigstad

promulgated seventeen years ago. The proposals followed an analysis in terms of the government’s Back to Basics program which revealed that a number of municipalities were not able to fulfil their constitutional obligations. Alongside other strategies that were said to have been put in place to address the challenge, it was suggested in some instances that the challenges were more structural and might be resolved through the re-determination of boundaries; hence the proposed re-determination of some municipal boundaries in the Eastern Cape, North West, KZN, Limpopo, Northern Cape, Mpumalanga, Free State and Gauteng. After the requests received by the Minister, the Board tested public opinion and

published section 26 notices in the media to invite written views, representations as well as suggestions from the public and stakeholders. All views and representations were analyzed and the Board could in terms of section 27 take decisions or make re-determinations at this point. Due to various reasons, including insufficient time available to deal with cases that required more detailed studies and cases that could not be linked to the Back to Basics program, the Board decided during March 2015, not to proceed with 12 of the cases before the 2016 elections. The Board further opted to broaden public participation and obtaining further views and representations through public meetings while investigations were conducted to gather more information. All cases were evaluated in terms of the demarcation objectives and criteria and the Board decided on 23 June 2015, to determine and re-determine municipal boundaries. In Limpopo Mutale will be disestablished and its portions incorporated into the areas of Thulamela and Musina municipalities. A new municipality will be established comprising of portions of the municipal areas of Makhado and Thulamela municipalities. Aganang municipality will be disestablished and its portions incorporated into the areas of Polokwane and Blouberg municipalities. Fetakgomo and Greater Tubatse local municipalities will be amalgamated into one municipal area.

Modimolle and Mookgopong local municipalities will be amalgamatedinto one municipal area. Municipalities in Limpopo will thus be reduced by 3. The Board said that it will publish its determination or re-determination of the municipal boundaries in the relevant Provincial Gazettes. The public is once more invited, this time to submit written objections (if any) on the determinations and re-determinations. The objections should reach the Board within 30 days of publication of the notice in the relevant Provincial Gazette. A copy of the notice and maps can be downloaded from the MDB website www.demarcation.org. za After the 30 days objection period the MDB will consider all objections; will either confirm, vary or withdraw its determination; and will publish its final decision in the relevant Provincial Gazette. The Ward delimitation process in municipalities included in the Minister’s proposal but whose boundaries have not been re-determined, will start within the next two weeks while ward delimitations in municipalities whose boundaries are re-determined will start in August 2015 (after the conclusion of the redetermination process). Any person aggrieved by a determination or re-determination may submit objections in writing to: The Municipal Demarcation Board Private Bag X 123, CENTURION 0046

DWARSRIVIER MINE Thumbs up for Dwarsrivier’s support of educaƟon

Winter school at Ngwaabe EducaƟon and the importance thereof has always been a priority with Dwarsrivier Mine. The company has over the years invested in upgrading faciliƟes at schools, building early childhood development centres, sponsoring placement of addiƟonal teachers to assist with mathematics and science in schools surrounding the mine and now they are supporƟng a Winter School for grade 12 learners in the Ngwaabe area. The learners aƩend the Winter School during the July school holidays. The Winter School started about 3 years ago as an iniƟaƟve from The MulƟ InsƟtute. This is a non-profit organisaƟon formed by teachers and student teachers originally from the Ngwaabe area. This is their way of giving back to their communiƟes and showing that you can fly higher than your circumstances in school. “We were learners at these schools and we want to show these learners that it is possible to rise above your circumstances and make something of yourself with hard work,” said the Program Manager, Bernard Maimela and the coordinator Kgotso Matenchi. The tutors are Jim Mashilangwako, Khotso Moshidi, Prisca Mohlala, Kgaogelo Makaba, Bernard

Maimela, Kgantsho Mantshi and Kgotso Matenchi. They are using the school buildings of Ngwanangwatu Secondary School and Mr B.M. Masha is keeping an eye on everything from the school’s side. The MulƟ InsƟtute approached Dwarsrivier Mine for assistance and the Mine is now supplying transport and catering for the learners, as well as the sƟpends of the volunteers teaching the learners. The learners are from Makgwale Secondary School, Ngwaabe Comprehensive School, Shorwane High School, Ngwanangwato Secondary School, Mashego Secondary School and Sengange Secondary School. Approximately 100 learners signed up to parƟcipate in the Winter School. The learners are geƫng extra classes in mathemaƟcs, science and commercial subjects. Special aƩenƟon is given to common problems and the aim is to empower those with the ability to achieve disƟncƟons, but also provide the support for those with the ability to just pass. The learners and The MulƟ InsƟtute gave Dwarsrivier Mine a huge thumbs up for the assistance they received.

Flooded

The Department of Education’s Circuit Office in Burgersfort was under water on Friday last week.

Employees arrived at work only to be met by water streaming from the second floor of the building in Aloe Ridge.

An extreme leak at a waterpipe at one of the bathrooms led to the flooding. While repairmen worked on fixing the pipe, employees tried to resque paperwork from the water. “Just think of all the work we’ll now have to do again” one told the newspaper.

Dismissed This week Ms Rachel Molepo-Modipa, Limpopo Director General was dismissed after she was found guilty on allegations of misconduct. She was initially suspended on 28 October 2013. At the time the province had been pushed to the verge of collapse with a deficit of more than R2 thousand million (billion). She remained in her position after former premier Cassel Mathale was replaced by his successor Stan Mathabatha. At the time of her suspension details of the charges against her were kept under wraps. She was not alone in her suspension. 88 other officials also received letters calling them for a hearing.

The South African Revenue Service, the Hawks and the Department of Public Service and Administration combed through the province’s departments and 302 cases of maladministration and corruption were investigated. Molepo-Modipa was under fire before her suspension when she was accused of not fully coorperating with administrators in the provinces five departments which were place under administration. The Provincial Government in a statement this week said that no amount of corruption or suspicion of the same shall be tolerated in the administration. Cases involving HOD’s are still continuing and are expected to be concluded soon.

No rest It may be school holidays but for most matric learners there is no rest. Many schools offer additional classes during the school holidays to help them prepare for their final examination. Read about the posibility of Grade 9 learners also receiving a certificate allowing them to leave school. See page 6.

What do you think about the proposed exit certificate? The National Senior Certificate (NSC) ministerial task team is currently working on proposals for a new school leaving certificate fro Grade 9 pupils. The Department is aiming to reduce the number of learners who drop out of school before reaching matric. According to the department’s Elijah Mhlanga the proposed certificate is intended to help learners who do not want to follow the academic route in school. The idea is that these learners further their education in Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) – trade and artisan skills. “The exit certificate is designed to encourage and not discourage learners who do not desire to follow the academic route to alternatively take a technical or vocational route, which will direct them to job-specific careers,” he said. Mhlanga explained that learners with then new exit certificate would be able to follow careers in becoming plumbers or chefs and this could drive the economy and create employment. Answering questions about the dropout rate at TVET institutions Mhlanga said: “Drop-outs happen everywhere, not everyone who runs the Comrades Marathon finishes it. We know that this is going to happen, but we will deal with it”. Industry and Commerce organisations reacted by saying that it will be important to make sure that learners who will opt for the exit certificate go to TVET Colleges and get further technical training. They also emphasized that it is important to ensure that these learners do not simply drop out of the colleges as well. Dumile Cele from the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industries said: “Their employability will be at stake as there are minimal avenues they can follow in life with only the exit certificate. There are countries that make use of an exit certificate before the final matric year. The UK has the Ordinary Level Certificate (close to Grade 10 or 11), while Finland has the Grade 9 exit certificate. This is to say that such a plan, if executed well, could benefit the student. But, if not planned carefully, it will lead to the unemployability of almost half a generation and cripple the economy”. Fears of learners ability to make mature and informed decisions about their future at 14 or 15 years old has also been raised. The Institute for Race Relations said only about half of children enrolling in Grade 1 will ever sit in a matric class. The Institute estimates that out of every 10 children enrolling in school 5 will reach matric, three of those are expected to pass with at most only one of them passing mathematics with 50% or more.

In 2014 approximately 680 000 pupils sat down to write their matric examinations. These were the only ones left of about 1.2 million who started school in 2003. A date for the rollout of the new certificate has not been announced yet. Platinum Gazette asked readers what they think of the proposed exit certificate for Grade 9 learners.

Regs: Me. Charlotte Clarke sê: “Ek dink nie dit is ‘n goeie idee nie. Dit sal net werkloosheid aanmoedig. Dis sommer nonsens!”. By haar is Ethan.

Left: Mr. Rodney Madire and Mr. Given Phokane said: “It is definitely a bad idea. It will drop our matric pass rate while we are already under the

Mr. Brian Kekana and Mr Prince Mpuru said: “It is bad. Matric is at a time when someone is more mature and able to think as an adult. Matrics of the past were more mature and understanding of situations while today they don’t have that level of understanding and intelligence. The overall level of education these days are lower”.

Mr. Elliot Moela said: “It is a bad thing. It is not even an achievement to reach Grade 9. You cannot give someone who is basically dropping out of school a certificate. They will have limited opportunities to further their education and careers”. With him are Ms. Kholofelo Moela and Mogau. Right: Ms. Zelda Moela and Ms. Ilvia Fredericks said: “We don’t think it is a good idea. They should rather encourage the learners to go up to matric. The kids are not dumb, they just need good teachers and they should not be lazy. This is a system

benchmark. The learners will not be motivated to reach matric if they get an exit certificate in Grade 9. We won’t employ someone who only have that certificate”. Mr. Themba Ndlovu and Ms. Lesedi Mashego said: “If they issue a certificate in Grade 9 the learners will not push for more. They’ll think it is an achievement. It will be bad for the country’s economy. We complain that there are not enough professionals and now we issue them a certificate in Grade 9? It will not solve the problem. Mentally kids are also not ready at that age to step into further studies – even in a technical direction”. Right: Mr. S.W. Makuwa said: “It will be good. Most of these learners who will get this certificate will not be able to pass matric with Mathematics and Science”.

through which they want to bring back the times when our grannies did not get properly schooled and left in standard 5”. Mr. Sebusheng Thobejane said: “I don’t think it is a good idea. We’ll drop the overall motivation and standard of education. Now we will actually say to learners to aim low. Where are they going to fall? We are now not setting them up for proper qualifications. How will you differentiate between good and bad if this is the standard?”

Right: Ms. Sharon Mathabatha said: “They should finish matric. Matric is number 1. They don’t only get an education up to matric, but they also develop their maturity. I don’t think they should get a certificate in Grade 9”. With her are Moloto and Nape.

Ms. Fatima Noor said: “I think it is bad. It does not encourage them to try and go up to matric. They can leave at an early age and still get a certificate. They are not motivated enough as it is. Giving them a certificate in Grade 9 will provide them with an easy way out”.

Right: Mr. Mbeusuma Mabaso said: “It is not a good thing. It will take away the level of education we are aiming for in the country. It is unacceptable. It brings shame to our government to even bring such suggestions to the table. It does not make sense. We did not intent our democracy to have such things”.

Beware of bogus centres Course material will be finalised and then accreditation will be awarded - don’t become a victim

13 Evil will never leave the house of one who pays back evil for good. 14 Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out. 15 Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent— the Lord detests them both. - Proverbs 17 NIV (Photograph taken at Ohrigstad Dam)

Wildevy 4x4 Gesinsdag om die draai Die Wildevy 4x4 Gesinsdag is om die draai. Om 25 Julie 2015 gaan die stof staan soos daar op die baan by PLM Boerdery (op R37 na Lydenburg) meegeding word. Hierdie week het die verskillende puntborge hul plekke op die baan vasgemaak en groot pret word oral beplan. Die Wildevy Manne werk hard om te sorg dat alles 100% reg sal wees vir die aksie. “Ons wil sommer reeds Samancor ECM, Modikwa Platinum Myn en Dwarsrivier Myn bedank vir hul bydraes tot die dag. Sonder ons borge is dit nie moontlik om so ‘n dag te reël nie,” sê die Manne. “Dit is goed om te weet daar is groot maatskappye soos hulle wat sake soos hierdie ondersteun”. Die ander borge word nie agterweë gelaat nie, maar is ongelukkig te veel om in een asem te noem. ‘n Paar opwindende dinge is aan die ontwikkel rondom die dag. 4x4 Entoesiaste wat nie ‘n plek tussen die 120 voertuie op die baan kon kry nie, of wat vir ‘n groter uitdaging kans sien, kan hierdie jaar die Morone Berg Roete aandurf. Daar is beperkte spasie (20 voertuie) en voertuie moet toegerus wees met lae strek (low range). Die roete gaan vanaf Khumula Game Lodge op die Steelpoort pad oor die Morone Berge tot by PLM Boerdery. Tydens hierdie rit sal daar verskillende veld en wild identifiseringsaktiwiteite plaasvind. Inskrywings is R1000 per voertuig. Deelnemers sal mekaar 07:00 die oggend by Khumula Game Lodge kry waar daar koffie en beskuit bedien sal word. ‘n Ete word ook tydens die rit op die berg bedien. Al word daar heerlik in die modder en stof deelgeneem, word die rugby nie vergeet nie. Die wedstryd tussen die Springbokke en Nieu-Seeland sal op ‘n groot skerm uitgesaai word sodat niemand enige aksie hoef te mis nie. Die dag bied weer soos altyd iets vir almal. Die publiek is welkom om te kom kyk hoe die deelnemers op die baan vaar. Daar sal weer ‘n gratis trekker-en-wa vervoersisteem wees wat toeskouers tussen punte sal vervoer. ‘n Spesiale kindervermaakarea

sal die kleingoed besig hou terwyl hul ouers die aksie elders ervaar. Helikopter ritte en karnavalritte is van die dinge wat beskikbaar sal wees. Stalletjies wat enige ding van kos, vlooimark-items tot besighede in die area bekendstel sal sorg vir nog iets ekstra op die dag. Die kunstenaars Hans Drommedaris, Henri Alant en Charné Grabe sal vir die musiek en ander vermaak sorg. Die Wildevy & Bison Falls Spur Mountain Bike Race (MTB) vind ook die oggend plaas. Die begin en eindpunte is by die PLM Boskamp op die grondpad na Morone Sitrus se pakstoor. Daar is verskillende afstande sodat almal, ongeag hul fiksheidsgraad of ouderdom kan deelneem. Kies tussen afstande wat wissel tussen 50km tot 2,5km. Fietsryers wat vir die pret kom deelneem sal tydelike lisensies vir die dag by die inskrywingspunt voor die wedren kan koop. Fietsryers kry ook gratis toegang tot die Wildevy 4x4 Dag. Daar kan voor die tyd ingeskryf word, maar ook op die oggend voor die wedren. Die fondse wat elke jaar met die Wildevy 4x4 Gesinsdag ingesamel word, word aangewend vir verskillende liefdadigheidsprojekte. Daarom word die publiek aangemoedig om die inisiatief te ondersteun. Jaarliks besoek ongeveer 7000 mense die baan op hierdie dag. Daarom is dit die ideale geleentheid om ‘n stalletjie vir jou besigheid, diens of produkte te kry. Kom verkoop of bemark jou produkte en kry die blootstelling wat jy graag wil hê. Daar sal geen koelhouers of 4-wiel motorfietse (quads) by die dag toegelaat word nie. Daar is ‘n kontant-kroeg beskikbaar en genoeg stalletjies wat kos gaan verkoop om te sorg dat niemand honger of dors hoef te wees nie. Vir enige navrae oor inskrywings vir die baan, die Morone Berg Roete of stalletjies vir die dag, kontak 013 231 7498. Maak seker dat jy nie die aksie van 2015 misloop nie!

Bogus Training Centres offering short courses on DTT set-top box installation are getting more and more. The Minister of Communications, Ms. Faith Muthambi, this week warned the public about such bogus training centres. “In the last few weeks the Department of Communication has been inundated with calls from people wanting to verify the legality of these institutions. I call on people to refrain from attending courses offered by these institutions. These centres are operating illegally and have no accreditation. As the department we are yet to make an official announcement on which centres will be accredited to offer such courses,” she said. The Department of Communications is working closely with the Department of Labour to design an accredited course for DTT installers. Once the course content is finalised, the Department of Communications will communicate through various community and mainstream media about where interested individuals can undertake such training. While the process of migrating from analogue to digital television presents economic opportunity for South Africans, people must be vigilant and avaoid being robbed of their hard-earned money.

Casual Day: where does the money go? Last year Casual Day was celebrated by over R2.5 million people who donated via a R10 sticker, to persons with disabilities. All in all R28 million was raised. People who bought their stickers from any one of the 300 participating organisations and schools can rest assured that the money they donated went to sustain these organisations, providing education, shelter, assistive devices, transport and accommodation to the persons with disabilities in their care. All the organsations that participate in Casual Day are appropriately registered entities with their governance in place. People who buy their stickers at retail outlets often wonder where the money goes. The funds are distributed amongst Casual Day’s 12 national beneficiary organisations who cover the entire spectrum of persons with disabilities. Sponsored by the Edcon Group, Casual Day is on Friday 4 September 2015. The theme for 2015 is Spring into Action – so take your inspiration from the birds and the bees, the skies of blue, the colours of the rainbow, the blossoms on the trees and the minty hue of new leaves. Our colour for the year is refreshing, zingy mint. The project is owned and managed on behalf of the national beneficiaries by the National Council for Persons with Physical Disabilities in SA (NCPPDSA). The South African National Council for the Blind (SANCB) has its head office in Pretoria and acts as a coordinating body for many organisations providing services to persons with visual impairment. The South African Federation for Mental Health (SAFMH) has as its main goal the development of equal, caring services for people having difficulty coping with everyday life, and those with intellectual and/or psychiatric disability. QuadPara Association of South Africa (QASA) strives to prevent spinal cord injury,

as well as protect and promote the interests of people with mobility impairments by formulating a national policy and strategy, to develop and ensure the full potential and quality of their lives. Autism South Africa (ASA) lobbies for awareness around Autism, which is a lifelong, complex condition that occurs as a result of disordered brain growth, structure and development. Down Syndrome South Africa (DSSA) is committed to finding ways to improve the quality of life of all persons with Down syndrome and other Intellectual disabilities, promoting the idea that they have the right to live with independence, dignity and security as valued adults and full citizens in our society. It endeavours to empower families through dissemination of information, encourages research in the fields of early intervention, education, medical aspects and employment. National Association for Persons with Cerebral Palsy South Africa (NAPCP) aims to promote the medical, educational, vocational and social services and facilities for persons with cerebral palsy to achieve independence. South African National Deaf Association (SANDA) is dedicated to providing quality services, ensuring public accessibility and increasing awareness of issues affecting deaf people at all levels in South Africa. Alzheimer’s South Africa is another beneficiary. Deaf Federation of South Africa (DeafSA) co-ordinates and facilitate the process of providing all kinds of services for the purpose of integrating one million Deaf South Africans into mainstream society. pages/DeafSA The South African Disability Alliance (SADA) is committed to assisting business in understanding disability and incorporating people with disabilities in opportunities, facilities and activities. SADA represents a constituency of approximately 8% of the country’s population and also the demographics thereof. Your R10 in Action will highlight where the Casual Day money is spent. The national beneficiaries of Casual Day, through their affiliates and branches all over South Africa, provide services to persons with disabilities. Casual Day is a way for the disability sector to speak with one voice about ushering in a society that values human rights, inclusion, diversity and universal access to education for all its citizens. Stickers are available from: Edgars, Jet, JetMart, Boardmans, CNA, Red Square and Legit; Absa outlets; Game and DionWired stores; Shoprite and Checkers stores; and And the Casual Day website.

Kankervereniging reeds besig met Mandela Dag aktiwiteite Die Kankervereniging van Suid Afrika (Kansa) is reeds vanaf 7 Julie besig met spesiale dienslewering aan kankeroorwinnaars en kankerpasiënte. Vrywilligers van 30 Kansa Sorgsentra regoor die land het openbare hospitale, klinieke of behandelingsentrums besoek om aanmoediging en ondersteuning te bied. “Madiba, wat ‘n kankeroorwinnaar van prostaatkanker was, inspireer ons om vir 67 minute uit te reik na mense in ons gemeenskappe om so hulde te bring aan die wyse waarop Madiba 67 jaar van sy lewe gewy het om ander te dien,” sê Elize Joubert, Waarnemende Hoof Uitvoerende Beampte van kansa. “Dit is so belangrik vir alle mense wat deur kanker geraak word om te weet dat Kansa se personeeel en vriende omgee,” voeg sy by. “Madiba het as voorbeeld vir ons nasie gedien en as ‘n organisasie wil ons graag voortgaan om aan sy versoek te voldoen om uit te reik na ander in ons daaglikse aktiwiteite en veral jaarliks wanneer sy verjaarsdag ons opnuut aan hom laat dink”. Tydens Kansa se besoeke aan kankerpasiënte wil Kansa se personeel graag vir elke kankeroorwinnaar ‘n spesiale Kansa boekmerk met ‘n inspirerende aanhaling van Madiba gee. Die boekmerk sal ook inligting verskaf oor Kansa se sorg-en ondertseuningsprogramme wat vir kankerpasiënte aangebied word. Kansa bied sorg en ondersteuning aan kankerpasiënte op verskillende maniere. Van die diense wat aangebied word is die Kansa Sorgtuistes, ‘n tolvrye nommer, ‘n KankerSorg Hanteringsgids, individuale en groep-berading, sowel as ondersteuningsgroepe. Dit alles bied ‘n veilige omgewing en manier waarop oor-

winners met mekaar in aanraking kan kom.Joubert voeg by: “Ons moedig alle mense aan om hul 67 Madiba minute van dienslewering aan ander aan te bied by KANSA se Sorgsentra en Sorgtuistes landwyd deur een van ons baie wense op ons wenslysie waar te maak. Dit sluit onder andere die volgende in: om ‘n vertrek waar vrywilligers bymekaar kom en waar vergaderings ter ondersteuning van ons pasiënte plaasvind, te verf en op te knap; vra vir donasies wat gebruik kan word vir kanker siftingstoetse, verbruiksgoedere, kospakkies vir kinders en gesinne wat die stryd teen kanker voer of help om ‘n oprit te bou vir pasiënte in rystoele. Een van ons kombuise by ‘n KANSA Sorgtuiste het dringend verf nodig en mense wat kan help om die kombuis te verf. Vir ‘n volledige lys, besoek http://www.cansa.org.za/cansas-care-support/cansas-mandela-daywish-list/. Vir meer inligting oor Mandela Dag of om te sien hoe jy betrokke kan raak, besoek die KANSA webtuiste (www.cansa. org.za)
