Binne / Inside:
Big change happening The face of Burgersfort is changing fast, with the new hawkers plaza now at the foundation phase. Workers on the terrain told the newspaper “we do important work. This new stalls must be able to withstand wind, weather and lots of hard trading. The steel makes it strong”. A barber, who now renders his services on the sidewalk, commented that “we are happy, work is progressing. We just hope that we will be able to move in before peak time at the end of November and December. Then there is the question of the coming rains. Ons goedjies kan dalk nat word, you know!”

Graphic from the business presentation available on the company’s website
Anglo American Platinum outlines the way forward
Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) is targeting cost reductions and productivity improvements of R3.8-billion by 2016 as it transitions to a lower cost, higher quality portfolio. Amplats told mining analysts who visited the company’s Polokwane smelter on Friday that the company would be growing its openpit operations and leveraging its mechanised mines, as well as implementing short-, medium- and long-term marketing strategies to boost the sales of platinum-group metals (PGMs) across a wide spectrum. Participation in the recycling business, where the 2013 return on capital employed was 43%, was under investigation, the company disclosed. Programmes to drive demand included improving the rate of fuel cell adoption, stimulating rhodium demand for autocatalysts and expanding the gifting of platinum jewellery to both the bride and the groom in India. Mines earmarked for growth were the Mogalakwena, Unki, Twickenham, Tumela, Dishaba and Der Brochen operations together with the Bafokeng Rasimone, Mototolo, Modikwa and Kroondal joint ventures (JVs). Mines that would be exited were the Union and Rustenburg underground operations as well as the Bokoni and Pandora JVs. Discussion was under way to extend the mechanised Mototolo JV into Der Brochen and to boost the pool-and-share arrangement at the mechanised Kroondal platinum mine through the contribution of farms. Amplats CEO Chris Griffith told analysts that the current focus was to create a more profitable, sustainable and socially acceptable company. The north and south divisions of the Union mine had already been consolidated into one operation, the north declines closed and a cash positive mine with a 25-year potential created, using existing infrastructure. The Merensky concentrator has been placed on care and maintenance and the Rustenburg mine prepared to operate on a standalone basis. Interest in buying both Union and Rustenburg would be evaluated this month in tandem with the possible demerging of the mines into a separately listed entity. The company said that structural changes of falling demand, rising supply and increasing costs were impacting the business.
Tragedy Tragedy struch this week Monday at Bokoni Platinum mine when a member of the community of Ga-Selepe, Mr Bernard Maropane, lost his life in a blasting incident at the company’s Klipfontein opencast operation. According to reports the situation in nand around Atok remained tense and the Police in Limpopo increased their presence after the house of a chief was torched. Damage of several thousand rand was allegedly caused to the double story residence. The company issued a statement through its website and later in the week to local media saying: “Atlatsa Resources Corporation (“Atlatsa”) has suspended operations at its Klipfontein opencast mine at Bokoni Platinum Mine (“Bokoni”) pending the outcome of an urgent and full investigation into the fatal injury of a Mosotsi community member, Mr Bernard Moropane. Atlatsa’s CEO, Harold Motaung, the board and management of Atlatsa and Bokoni extend their sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr Moropane. Safety of our employees and community members remains of paramount importance to our operations and mine management is working closely with the South African Police Services (“SAPS”), the Department of Mineral Resources and other authorities involved in the investigation of the fatality. The Company notes with regret that after the fatal injury, members of the local community set fire to community and contractor mining property and equipment, causing significant damage. This too is being investigated by the SAPS, and community engagement to resolve any issues arising from this event is ongoing. The Klipfontein opencast mine comprises approximately 20% of Bokoni’s total production and the mine has adequate stockpile for processing whilst the opencast operation remains suspended.” Meanwhile, the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Mineral Resources on Wednesday said in a statement that it “noted with concern” the blast incident, adding that it was also concerned about the violent protests by community members that followed. “The committee is not in a position to say whether operations at the mine should shut down and can only express a view after receiving findings of the investigation by health and safety inspectors from the DMR,” it said. Committee chairperson Sahlulele Luzipo added that the committee would also investigate how a consultation process was conducted before permission was granted to carry out the blast operation at the mine.

More woes for Nkwe Platinum Australia Stock Exchange listed Nkwe Platinum has lost its 64 percent indirect interest in the two farms forming the Tubatse platinum project near Burgersfort after the Supreme Court of Appeal set aside an earlier judgment that awarded the prospecting rights for these farms to Nkwe’s black economic-empowerment partner, Genorah Resources, in partnership with local communities. This loss of interest is the direct result of two cases previously heard in the North Gauteng High Court. The Supreme Court of Appeal heard the cases in August and the appeals were upheld during judgment on 26 September. The prospecting rights to the farms, Eerstegeluk 327KT and Nooitverwacht 324KT, had, over “a long period of time”, been subject to numerous applications to both administrative and legal bodies in South Africa. In 2011, the Constitutional Court had set aside the prospecting rights to these farms that had previously been held by Genorah, in partnership with the local communities. Following an application and subsequent review of this application, the Department of Mineral Resources re-issued the prospecting rights to both farms to Genorah and the local communities. This award, however, became subject to legal challenge and Supreme Court of Appeal had now set aside the award, resulting in Nkwe Platinum losing its indirect interest in the farms. Genorah and its local community partners had advised Nkwe Platinum that it intended to appeal this decision. According to reports the Company said that while the Tubatse project is of value to the company, these two farms are not part of the company’s flagship Garatau, De Kom and Hoepakranz projects, wherein it holds a valid mining right and has completed a substantial bankable feasibility study.

Drop-top Lamborghini Gallardos are not very common in Burgersfort. In fact, this light blue example was spotted at Tubatse Crossing Mall on Tuesday and caused quite a stir, not only bacause of the thing’s sheer beauty, but also because it took quite a (slow) effort to traverse the speed humps at the shopping centre. But don’t be caught on the open road with this one, 300km/h plus is too ‘easy’...

Boere speel ‘n barshou Lede van Ohrigstad Boerevereniging, gaste en borge het verlede week Donderdag by Pelgrimsrus Buiteklub saamgetrek en behoorlik tussen die putjies vir die organisasie se jaarlikse gholfdag geboer. Hoewel daar ernstig gholf gespeel is, is die bal-slanery afgewissel met allerhande kwajongstreke deur van die lede. Na bewering was ‘n lewendige slang ook op ‘n stadium betrokke. Na die ‘formele gholf’ het almal wat daar was (selfs die wat nog nooit aan ‘n stok geraak het nie) aan ‘n put-put kompetise deelgeneem en oom Constand Viljoen het soos wat dit beskryf is, ‘n general shot geslaan. Teen daardie tyd was ’n tjips-bakkery op groot skaal aan die gang in afwagting van vleis wat later op ‘n gasplaat gaar sou kom. Voor enige pryse uitgedeel is, het oom Jan Ferreira die boere daarop attent gemaak dat die projek om die ou Voortrekker Begraafplaas mooi te maak en te bewaar, stadig vorder. Heelwat geldjies is beloof om met die projek te help en oom Jan het elke belofte sogrvuldig neergepen sodat die manne nie kan wegraak nie. Jan Jacobs, wat die aankondigings gedoen en die musiek gespeel het, het ook sy slag as afslaer tydens die veiling gewys en die aktiwiteit is ook na afloop daarvan as hoogs suksesvol beskryf. O ja, die gholf is deur Cobus Beetge se 4-bal gewen, Robert Cross se 4-bal was tweede en Wimpie Briel se 4-bal was derde. Die 4-bal wat laaste gekom het, het elk ‘n pak “1 ply-no nametoiletpapier” gekry.

Wees deel en staan saam Die hoofbestuurder van Afgri Limpopo (foto, regs) het ook die dag saam met die manne geniet, en sonder om formeel te raak, lekker gesels en aan die einde van die dag ‘n paar gedagtes met boere gewissel. Mnr Van Jaarsveld het boere aangemoedig om deel van georganiseerde landbou in Suid-Afrika te bly en indien hulle nie lid is nie, deel te word en saam te staan teen uitdagings in die bedryf. Hy het daarop gewys dat die speelveld en die rol van individue in landbou organisasies verander het. “Dit gaan nie meer oor wat die formele strukture vir boere kan doen nie, maar elke boer moet hom of haarself afvra watter bydrae hy of sy kan lewer om van georganiseerde landbou ‘n sukses te maak.”

SAFA SAB league games continue unchanged (for now) Widespread discord and divisions within the teams forming part of the Sekhukhune region’s SAFA SAB league is still hovering, but currently games continue in the established format. This resolution was taken in August at a meeting attended by the REC, LFA and team representatives. Alleged complaints and reasons for dividing the league is the distance teams travel to attend games. The possible division of the league also led to fears that the status of the teams will fall in value. Fears of inconsistency and the possibility of strong teams taking advantage of the weaker ones are rife. The lack of development programmes for referees, coaches, administration and officials in the region is also a concern. A major concern is the perceived lack of commitment from several local football associations in the area. The possible division of the league into three streams has been discussed as well as the appointment of a task team to look into the viability of such divisions. The league will continue with 16 teams for the 2014/2015 season. The REC will be consulting widely with
regards to the new proposed streams within Sekhukhune. This should include all stakeholders and must include a meeting with the SAB teams to specifically address the matter. Matters raised as concerns for participating league teams include money collection that is done irregularly by some officials. Teams are asking for a compensation fee should the league be devided. It is recommened that the region’s finances be presented annually and be open for inspection. Administration in terms of documentation collected on behalf of the region should be stored and maintained by the administrator and not the president of the region’s league. This should according to calls also apply to assests such as vehicles. Due to the wide breach of trust, teams are calling for the withdrawal of the current leadership of the current structure. They are also calling on SAFA to ensure that proper training is done to assist the newly elected leadership be competent to perform their duties thoroughly. After the consultation the matter should be tabled at the Competitions Committee before it will be implemented - possibly in the next season although it could take up to 5 years.

Local anglers at annual Loskop Carp Bonanza Anglers from the Chrome Angling Club participated in the annual Loskop Carp Bonanza that took place on 4 October 2014. The big prize everyone were fishing for was the 5 metre Naverone boat with a 85Pk Yamaha motor. To win this anglers had to catch two carp with a combined weight of 9.5kg or more. To win a Mahindra Scorpio 4x2 M/Hawk bakkie, anglers had to catch a 5.5kg carp or heavier. Both these prizes were sponsored by Willie Pieters from Vanstar Auto Lydenburg. The Friday was practice day for the competition and a few small carp were caught. On Saturday morning the sky was overcast and the boat and shore anglers set out to try and catch the big one that will bring in the grand prize. Later in the day the skies cleared and anglers enjoyed a sunny day. On Sunday the prize giving took place. Unfortunately both the big prizes were not won as the winning carp only weighed in at 4.6kg. The winner still walked away with a cash prize of R40 000. The top 30 carp all
received prizes that varied from a Crackle back boat with a 15pk Titan motor, a HOnda scooter, a trailer and cash prizes. Lucky draw prizes were also up for grabs. These ranged from holidays in Mozambique, St. Lucia, Arabie dam and Veygeboom dam. The Chrome Angling Club would like to congratulate Dennis Cruse Junior who was the only one from the Tubatse Chrome Angling Club team who did not go home empty handed. Dennis caught the third biggest carp for the juniors which landed him a gold medal and a fishign rod and reel. Dennis also won a lucky draw prize at Forever Resorts Loskop dam. The club would like to thank the Stywelyne Skippers Academy who arrange the Bonanza, all the sponsors of the event, Tubatse Chrome for the sponsorship of the T-shirts and everyone who participated in the event. Everyone is looking forward to next year’s competition. (Information and photograph: Theo Visagie, Chrome Angling Club)
Tubatse Masters take on ASA Metals’ soccer team Tubatse Masters FC hosted the soccer team from Dilokong ASA Metals at Praktiseer on 4 October 2014. The game was played at the Sekhukhune FET College in Praktiseer. The Masters dominated the game in the first half and managed to score two goals. Motale Mkhondo opened the scoreboard from a pass he received from Andrew Skhosana. The visiting team also received opportunities, but failed to convert them. The Masters’ second goal was scored by Jerial Movundlela from a free kick. This made the half time score 2-0. In the second half, Tubatse Masters continued putting pressure on the Dilokong team’s defence. This paid off and they scored three more goals. A goal by PapanaMkhondo and a brace by Andrew Skhosana ensured that the team won the game 5-0. (Information: Jerial Movundlela; Photographs: Thato Maredi).
