Nkwe woes
No thanks, no school for me!
Mangabane Primary School near Steelpoort, Wednesday morning, a race for the gate. The teacher won. As always. Grade R is not for sissies, that’s for sure! This unhappy little one is only one of a large score of pupils who started their school careers in the area this week. More pictures of the big day on pages 2 and 3.
Nkwe Platinum, the Australian Stock Exchange listed company that is trying to get its South African projects near Steelpoort and Burgersfort of the ground, has advised in a corporate update, that it has been served with an interlocutary (provisional, interim, not final) application filed by Rustenburg Platinum Mines Limited, and ARM Mining Consortium Limited, that is amongst others directed against the Minister of Mineral Resources and the DMR and other parties, including Nkwe Platinum (South Africa) (Pty) Ltd and Genorah Resources (Pty) Ltd wherein Nkwe and Genorah will be prevented from exercising any rights in any way flowing from existing mining rights granted over properties adjacent to the applicant’s Modikwa Platinum joint venture project. Nkwe says it is vigorously opposing the application and that the company and its partner, Jin Jiang Mining Ltd are proceeding with the optimisation of the company’s Garatau Mining Project to be established on some of the land in dispute. It says community consultation is significantly underway and consultation with Government is advanced and satisfactory, adding that the company is not anticipating any major delays. Meanwhile, in the same corporate update, Nkwe has announced that the company’s application for leave to appeal a decision by the Supreme Court that the company loses prospecting rights originally granted in respect of two farms at the company’s Tubatse Project, has now been dismissed by the Constitutional Court. Nkwe says it is disappointed with this outcome to the case, but emphasised that this decision has no bearing on the company’s flagship Garatau Project.

Off to school for the first time Schools in the area started without major hickups this week. The first timers were mostly full of smiles and excitement to start their 12 year school career, but here and there a few tears were shed.

Above, below and right: Calvin Prep School has a whole new group of faces in their Grade R class. This group was happy and still smiling while Mom and Dad hang around at the beginning of the day. They were also quick to start working with colouring a picture of a cat as their first school project.

The group were ready to start learning and were busy drawing and colouring pictures when the newspaper visited them. Thanks to extensions made to the school by Hannah Game Lodge, this group is very comfortable in their class.
Last week this display of Cleome angustifolia or more commonly known as Yellow Mouse-whiskers, was photographed in Burgersfort. This slender herb grows up to 75cm tall and in large numbers provide a glorious display of colour. Variations in the species contains the word Kers in their scientific specification. This has led to some Afrikaans speaking people also calling it the Kersblom.

SDM mourns passing of Diale Nelson Letsau Diale passed away on 9 January after a long illness. He was born in the village of Ga-Masemola on 1 January 1936. Diale was one of the two remaining members of the Lethuli Detachment living in Sekhukhune. Left now is Ntate Kgwana Nkadimeng. His life can be summed up as that of a Community activist, MK member, Member of Parliament, for his excellent contribution to the struggle against apartheid and for his selfless sacrifice for the attainment of freedom for all in South Africa. For this he was awarded the Order of Luthuli
in Silver. This award was given to him by President Jacob Zuma in 2011. Diale attended school in Sekobetlane Maphutha. In 1956 he joined the ANC. Diale was active in the ANC until it was banned in 1960. He was then one of the first to be recruited to its military wind Umkhontowe Sizwe (MK). He remained in South Africa, only receiving training outside the country.In January 1964 he and his unit were arrested and detained for three months. Diale was then sent to Robben Island where he served and 8-year prison sentence. After his release in 1972 he was banned from organising activities in the community. He began working underground. In 1975 he and the whole underground network in the Northern Transvaal were rounded up. Some ended in prison while Diale was acquitted and served with internal banning orders. Diale later worked with Dr Aaron Motsoaledi in establishing the Sekhukhune Advice Office, a centre which was dedicated to helping activists, victims and their relatives financially and logistically. IN 1994 he became a member of Parliament representing the ANC. President Jacob Zuma described Diales as “a courageous freedom fighter who sacrificed a great deal of his life to the liberation struggle, fighting for freedom of the oppressed and equal opportunities for all”. The President has ordered that the National Flag be flown at half-mast in Limpopo on Sunday, the day of Diale’s funeral. Diale will receive a Provincial Official Funeral. (See block on the far right for the different types of funerals in South Africa).

A calendar year injury free at this section Modikwa South Shaft TM3 section sets the standard South Shaft TM3 section achieved an Injury Free 2014 (01 January 2014 – 31 December 2014). Injury Free means no accidents were recorded for this section for the whole of 2014 which has never happened before in Modikwa Platinum Mine. Previously this section had a dismal record with accidents being reported monthly, now is the safety flagship for Modikwa Platinum Mine. They started by being the first mining section to achieve 365 injury free days in August 2014, followed by achieving 500 injury free days in December 2014 and now they are champions of the full calendar year injury free section. This magnificent achievement comes from the section leadership taking a decision to do things differently from what it used to be. Derek Rieck, leader of this section says it started with himself. Everyone had to start looking at themselves and asking what they can do better to ensure the safety of everyone. The results speaks for themselves, the key word is CHANGE. One of the employees, Ruth Vilakazi raised her hand during the celebration when the question was posed as to how did they get so far with safety and she said: “I wish all the other mine overseers were here to hear what I’m about to say. Derek our mine overseer is different, whenever he gets to your workplace
his approach is so touching that you feel so guilty if you do not work according to standard. Though he doesn’t scream or shout. He talks to you with respect and when he leaves you as an employee, you feel so motivated and charged up to work safe and to mine standard, not because you are scared of him but because you feel human enough to take responsibility for your work”. Modikwa South Shaft TM3 will never be the same as the section employees are motivated and looking forward to exceed what they have already achieved. “I’m shocked and over the moon at the same time that South Shaft TM3 section can take a simple goal I had of an injury free day to 365, 500 and now the full January – December calendar year”. Back then Derek said this is a mine and people will be injured. I just said, not in my watch and that has been proven. A word of sincere appreciation and gratitude to the section leadership, supervisors, employees, mine’s service departments(safety, rock engineering, ventilation, etc.), organized labour, mine management and government for their contribution to this section for this achievement” Sipho Zwane the Business Area Leader Mining South Shaft said.

What the people want...in The start of 2015 brought new hope to many in South Africa. Platinum Gazette asked our readers where they are staying and what they hope would happen in that town or village in 2015. The wish list varies from basic services to a cleaner environment – this is what the people want.
Me. Ronel de Villiers is van Burgersfort. Sy sê: “Hulle moet asseblief iets doen aan ons paaie en die robotte wat nie werk nie. Dan wens ek ook dat hulle iets aan die misdaad by die robotte sal doen. My venster is al twee keer uitgeslaan en ons goed uit die motor gegryp”.
Mr Mpho Mothema lives in Aloe Ridge West. He said: “We have many open stands there that are filthy. There are so many snakes on those stands and the thieves hide there. I hope the municipality or the owners of those stands will do something about the state of those properties in 2015. If they do, I will be happy. Those filthy stands also influence the value of our properties in a negative way”. Mr Ralph Molatudi is staying in Motaganeng. He said: “I am a property owner. In Motaganeng there are still many open stands. I wish for neighbours in 2015. People that I can be neighbourly with – do things like ask for salt or help when it is needed. I also fear that there may be snakes on those open stands. With the security not being very active there, I am afraid that we may become victims of crime if we are only a few staying there”.
Mr Kenneth Moela is from Praktiseer. He said: “I want them to give us electricity in 2015. I also want a speed hump. A speed hump in our area will slow down the drivers and make the children safer”.
Mr. Russell Maahlo is living in Maahlashi Village. He said: “We hope for water and a football ground in 2015. We really lack the provision of water”. Ms. Elizabeth Maroga is living in Driekop. She said: “Electricity and water please. It is now a very long time that we’ve been waiting for electricity and water”.
Mr. Oscar Tladi is from Shukung Village. He said: “We have water and electricity, but we wish for sanitation – proper flushing toilets. I also wish for a tar road – the gravel is bad”. With him is Mr. Thondani Maboko.
Above: Mr. Nicholas Nonyane is from Alverton. He said: “I want the schools to be better and the children to progress well”.
Left: Ms. Pinky Digorok is from Riba Cross. She said: “I hope that government will help to give me water in 2015”.
Mr. Thabang Monareng and Mr Coleman Segapethla are from Bothashoek. “We want water and RDP houses at Bothashoek”.
Mr. Simon Masinga stays in Praktiseer. He said: “Enough is enough. Let the municipality deliver the services to the people who voted for them. The water supply is a big problem, streets are not tarred and the Apollo lights are not working – fix this please”.

He said: “I hope that we will have water by the end of 2015. I also hope that the youth in my community will get jobs and that it will reduce the crime”.
Mr. Isaac Mmala is from Maandagshoek. He said: “I wish the surrounding mines will help our youth who just passed matric. They don’t know what to do – they should get learnerships and bursaries”.

Adam Opel Opel Adam Adam Opel, the founder of the company that later became an automotive giant as a subsidiary of General Motors (from 1931), would have been astounded by the little gem that took his name more than a century after his death in 1895. Up until his passing on in that year, Adam’s company manufactured bicycles and sewing machines and only later on, when it became part of General Motors, did it become involved in engine driven vehicles. Talking of the engine, the Opel Adam, just released in South Africa, does not have a large one. You have a choice between a 1400 normally aspirated petrol power plant and the three cylinder 1000 with a very, very smooth turbo to propel you very, very fast into illegal territory. Want proof? We took delivery of a dark blue Adam Jam with white trim from Westvaal Steelpoort last week for a trip or two around the area. As these trips go, everything gets pushed in, pulled out, opened and pressed to see what happens and what it does. Photographing the cubby hole entails cleaning it out first, and what do we find? A fine. During its tour between dealers somebody drove it at a speed of 151 km per hour near Newcastle in KwaZulu-Natal. In a 120 km zone nogal. Experiencing the vehicle, we can believe that this was not intentional as this thing goes like a rocket for its size and the speedo has to be watched with hawk’s eyes. It can go even faster … But let’s start from the beginning. The Opel Adam is a very attractive twodoor with huge doors, lots of technology (stop-start thingy et al, with all the usual technology abbreviations built in, as well as things like park assist). Buying up and down between the standard version and top of the range vehicle will get you more luxury, but the abbreviations will remain the same, not compromising safety etc. Is it big? No. The back is cramped and there is no space for four large adults. There will be space for their bottoms, but not their legs. If you buy this, see it as a generous two plus two, or space for two kids at the back (not teenagers). The rear seatbacks can go down if you need more luggage space, but otherwise there is barely space in the boot for the school run and a litre of milk. The vehicle is very sturdy, zippy as hell and it just oodles fun and style, any way you look at it. Compared to competitors? Rather don’t do that. For us it stood on its own four wheels with a unique character. Expensive? Yes, north of R200 000, but look at the quality and performance, and it is worth it. A car for Eve? O, yes! As you can see in the photograph, she was smitten. Had a problem getting her out of the car though … Final words for Adam Opel about the Opel Adam?
