Two Mountains Burial Services commited to serving clients and communities Two Mountains Burial Services is committed to providing their clients with the best possible support and service during the difficult times when they have to say goodbye to a loved one. The business provides a personal and dignified way to ensure that clients will be able to know things are in good hands when they are focussed on grieving for someone that passed away. The funeral service industry is vulnerable to vandalism and despite this Two Mountains Burial Services strives to provide an excellent service to communities. Recently the company had to deal with an incident through which a family wrongfully identified someone. This led to the loss of property and a misunderstanding with community members who set some of the company’s vehicles alight after an attempt to correct the wrong burial. “Though the company feels the pain and down fall of the vandalism, we still reiterate our commitment to
the communities we serve with pride and dignity,” said Mr Masekwameng, Company CEO, this week. “We have build the business on values to serve the community and will continue to do so. Two Mountains is for the people and it is here to stay and serve its community”. The company would like to thank the Leboeng SAPS, especially Capt. Solomon Moholane for their assistance. Two Mountains has built their reputation as a professional company that is established in the funeral services industry despite ups and downs. As in any industry competition and criticism is there, but the company has shown that it will fly above negativities to continue delivering the service they started out to do. The company that started out as a coffin manufacturing business with 3 employees is currently proud to employ more than 800 staff and have a fleet of 260 vehicles. Although death is a
stark reality in the industry, the Two Mountains staff strives to offer a service at their various offices that is free of morbidity. Staff is humble and always eager to assist. They take pride in securing good relationships with clients as well as communities. That is why it is unfortunate that isolated incidents occur where damage to property is caused. The same property being damaged is used to serve the community. Two Mountains would like to thank all their loyal clients for their support. New clients are joining daily and we would like to assure everyone that they could expect only the best service and commitment with regards to them, their families and the communities in which they live. “We would also like to invite anyone interested in learning more about what Two Mountains has to offer to visit our office in Burgersfort,” said Mr Manganyi, Marketing Manager of Two Mountains Burial Services.

‘Marula SLP must be transparent’ On Tuesday morning this week the communities of Wards 8 and 10 adjacent to Impala Platinum’s Marula Platinum Mine marched on the mine to hand over a memorandum, comprising of demands about the relationship between the company and the parties that are affected by the company’s operations in the area. The memorandum, of which a copy is in possession of Platinum Gazette, inter alia requests a full report about the previous Social Labour Plan (SLP) and consultation with the affected communities regarding the current SLP as per requirement. The memorandum also demand the immediate reinstatement and recognition of the Marula Community Development Agency and the Masedi Development Agency and that the legal control of community income generating projects be headed by these structures. The group of marchers also demands deregistration of the Marula Community Trust and the removal of Marula Community Chrome. The group further demands that the tailings at the mine be utilised for the benefit of the community they represent and that the mine involve community structures when community issues are discussed. The group says engagement with traditional authorities (Magoshi) alone is not acceptable. The group also has a wish for a tarred road between Ga-Mahlokwane (Smoky Hills) and Ntswaneng. The group also has a gripe with certain individuals and they
want them not to be involved with community activities. The community group gathered from early the morning at the R37 Road and the Marula Platinum Mine T-junction from where they proceeded to the mine, some walking, some with the aid of taxis. When Platinum Gazette arrived at the scene there were a lot of singing and dancing with the Police keeping a watchful eye on the proceedings. A problem arose at noon when the memorandum was supposed to be handed over and there was no one from the company’s head office to receive it (the group claimed they requested it). To complicate matters a court interdict from the Praktiseer Magistrate’s Court surfaced (with Tuesday’s date stamp on it), prohibiting the march and gathering (which apparently only arrived while the gathering was already in full swing. This interdict was kept away from the people outside the gate with a representative of the Greater Tubatse Municipality telling the newspaper that it will only complicate matters to try and enforce the order at that moment. In the end the representatives of the group agreed to hand the memorandum to Marula Platinum’s Group Protection Manager, Mr Johan Olivier, who duly received and signed it on behalf of the company and told the community that the company will respond within seven days as requested in the memorandum. Thereafter the marchers dispersed peacefully.
ASA Metal’s Mine achieved 1 500 000 Fatality Free Shifts On 7 April 2014, ASA Metal’s mine obtained 1 500 000 fatality free shifts. The last fatality at the mine was on the 18th of January 2010. The Mine Manager, Mr Hardley Ramokgadi, thanked each employee for their commitment towards Zero Harm, and their contribution in making the mine a safe place to work.

Tubatse SUPERSPAR cares
“Taxis ry net soos hulle wil,hierdie fotos is Saterdag oggend 2 Mei om 10h00 geneem by die robot by KFC, dit het my presies 25 minute gevat om in die hoofstraat te kom en ek was die tweede kar van voor af. Hulle ry net soos hulle wil,verkeersreëls word glad nie in ag geneem nie, dis nie net hier nie,dis orals in die dorp, by elke robot,stopstraat - hulle ry soos hulle wil. Twee bane word vier gemaak, hulle stop wanneer dit hulle pas,draai waar hulle wil, stop waar hulle wil en niemand doen niks daar omtrent nie. Ons as inwoners van Burgersfort is elke dag slagoffers van stampe en stoote, ons karre word gekrap en gestamp en ons moet maar net met dit saam leef want die taxis is die meerderheid en dit gee hulle dan mos die reg om padreëls te verontagsaam Waar is die gereg? O, ja wag, hulle staan buite die dorp oppad Polokwane toe onder die bome. Dit is mos waar ons probleem lê, ons het glad nie ‘n problem in die dorp nie. Ons as inwoners van die dorp raak nou moeg vir die taxis. Ons vra dat iemand vir ons sê hoekomdit so is en wat gedoen gaan word om die taxis te kry om padreëls na te kom?” Whity, Burgersfort

Moedersdag bederf op Ohrigstad Laerskool Ohrigstad het hul jaarlikse Moedersdag “steak” braai verlede week Sondag aangebied. Hierdie geleentheid is reeds ‘n instelling op die dorp en nie net ‘n lekker kuier geleentheid nie, maar ook ‘n manier waarop daar fondse vir die skool ingesamel word. Kaartjies is verkoop en vanaf 11:30 het ouers, kinders en lede van die gemeenskap by die skool saamgetrek. Die lekker van die dag is dat die moeders bederf word
Die braaiers het gesorg dat die vleis na elkeen smaak gebraai word. Saam met die vleis was daar tuisgemaakte peper- of sampioensous. Vir nagereg is sagopoeding voorgesit.
met heerlike kos terwyl hulle saam met hul mans en ander familie kan kuier. Daar is buite en binne die skoolsaal tafels gedek en gaste kon weglê aan heerlike vleis, slaaie, aartappelgebak en tuisgebakte brode. Die sagopoeding vir nagereg was ook ‘n groot treffer. By elke sitplek is ook ‘n spesiale tuisgebakte koekie en boodskappie vir die gaste neergesit. Oud en jonk het lekker saam gekuier op die spesiale dag. Me. Ronnie Ferreira, skoolhoof by Laerskool Ohrigstad het almal bedank wat gehelp het om van die dag ‘n sukses te maak.

Will a declline in political support As the dust settles after South Africa’s national election marking 20 years of democracy, the ANC is still the people’s favourite party. They walked away with almost 11.5 million of the 18.5 million votes cast on Wednesday last week. The party has however had a decline in support compared to previous elections. Despite a population increase, support has dropped by about 11% over the last 10 years. In Limpopo the ANC is going strong. With 79.25% of the votes cast in Greater Tubatse going towards them. The closest opposition party was the EFF with 13.50% of the votes. The DA, formerly the official opposition party slipped down to third place by securing 3.29% of the votes cast for provincial government within the Greater Tubatse Municipality. 90 083 votes were cast for provincial government in Greater Tubatse. This week readers spoke the Platinum Gazette about whether they think the slow decline in support will serve as a motivation for better service delivery in the coming 5 years or not. Many white readers declined to appear in the newspaper as they are afraid of airing their political views. One woman stating that she voted for the first time, said that she voted for the DA in the hopes that Lindiwe Mazibuku will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in parliament and so bring about better service delivery. “Now she is going to Harvard and I am stuck Helen Zille as leader who seems to prefer dancing to confronting issues”. A black reader also declined to comment for fear of his position within the ANC. He said: “I am sorry, but I cannot comment what I truly feel as I am too involved”.
Mr Godfrey Bhisamphiri said: “The ANC will do much better this time around. They will get back the votes in the next election. This is their last chance, you know. They need to improve to prove to the people they can truly deliver. They will work hard”.
Mr Dragon Maroga said: “Things will only be worse than before. They just look for our votes but after the election they forget about us, the communities. We will only see change if another party takes over. If they did not properly deliver in 20 years, how will they do anything in the next 5 years? They’ve seen a hole for money while in power, so it won’t be better”.
Ms Prudence Choma said: “A leopard never loses its spots. Especially with Jacob Zuma as the President things will not change. He is not going to change and things will never improve. The poor will remain poor. Only another party will be able to bring change”.
Mr Frans Mojela said: “They will improve on service delivery after this election. They will work hard. We learn from our mistakes. They will be scared to lose more support, so they will perform now”.
Mr Victor Mashilo said: “They are now afraid of the smaller parties, especially the EFF because of their policies. We will see amazing service delivery now because the ANC is afraid of losing power”.
Mr Phillip Mushaikwa said: “I think the loss of votes will be a motivation to improve on service delivery. People usually do well when they come from adversity. They’ll take this serious because they want to stay in power. It is good for the people because now they will work hard”.
Mr Andries Mnisi said: “I think many people think the ANC cannot deliver. I don’t think they will do better in the next 5 years. Maybe once the DA or the EFF gets into power things will change”.
Mr Duncan Maangoale said: “No, they won’t work harder than before. The ANC must reshuffle the bad elements in the party – like Zuma. They can deliver, they must just work hard. They are not too scared of losing more support, but the people want services. People have been voting for the party and not the people”.
Mr Mark Geddes said: “I think things will just continue as they did in the last 20 years. I doubt if anything will change. We’ve hoped that the opposition will get more votes so that they can pressure the ANC for better service delivery”.
Mr Reginald Mashabela said: “The ANC will improve because they’ll lose many members if they don’t”.
Mr Brian Mogakane said: “I think it will continue like in the last 20 years. The leaders are confident that the people will vote for them, but there is now a new generation that grew up after apartheid. The race card won’t stand with them anymore. Change will come in the form of a new party in power if the ANC don’t change their ways. Either they improve or the country’s leadership will change”.

have an impact on service delivery?
Ms Johanna Selahle said: “The ANC is going to perform more and more and more. Other parties challenge them. I hope that from today onwards the ANC is going to work to deliver”.
Mnr Robbie van der Walt sê: “Ek dink tog dit sal dalk beter gaan na hierdie verkiesing. Hierdie was ‘n groot skrikmaak vir die ANC”. Mnr Michael Seatlanyane sê: “Nee, daai mense het nie skaamte nie, hulle sal nie kan beter doen nie want hulle weet nie wat beter is nie”.
Mr James Segoapa said: “They must improve themselves by delivering services. They are scared now but they must not give up. Just keep concentrating on delivering to the people”.
Me Joyce Komane en Me Thandy Moriri sê: “Die ANC sal nou eers alles uitsort wat nie reg was nie en dan sal alles beter gaan. Hulle kan nie bekostig om nog steun te verloor voor die volgende verkiesing nie”.
Mr Musa Magagula said: “It won’t have an impact. There had already been plans in place to address the concerns with regards to service delivery etc. The ANC is not concerned about votes lost to the opposition”.
Ms Mokgaetsi Moimana said: “If they don’t reduce corruption they’ll be out in the next election. People are sticking to them because of the grants. Before the election people were told they might not get the grants anymore if they don’t vote for the ANC”.
Mnr Oupa Mkhabela sê: “Zuma is nog die President, so die ANC het nie regtig geskrik nie. Hulle sal net soos altyd aangaan na hierdie verkiesing. Hulle sal eers heeltemal teen ‘n ander party moet verloor voor dinge beter sal wees”.
Ms Lily Raphela said: “By losing those votes they will now be forced to work hard. They did not think the EFF will make it and now they see they can lose votes to the EFF. The ANC will work hard to deliver. They must now work to keep the power. It is good for the people now. The ANC was relaxing every day in the past 20 years, now they see the boat can sink. This will benefit the people”.
Mr Obed Mokwena said: “I don’t think the ANC will lose support in the next 5 years. They will do better service delivery”.

Adrenalien vloei op Atok Laerskool Atokia het verlede week Saterdag een van Limpopo Atletiek se amptelike
landloop byeenkomste aangebied. Atlete van regoor die provinsie het kom deelneem en alle ouderdomsgroepe het gehardloop. Die roete het vanaf die skool, oor die golfbaan gestrek. Laerskool Atokia se ouers en onderwysers het hard gewerk om van die dag ‘n sukses te maak. Die skoolhoof, mnr. Beukes van Zyl het almal bedank vir hul bydraes tot die dag.
Van die plaaslike skole wat deelgeneem het was Laerskool Atokia (in groen en blou sportdrag) asook Laerskool Burgersfort in (in rooi en blou sportdrag).
Laerskool Burgersfort het nie net gespog met leerlinge wat deelneem nie, maar juffrou Elize Moll het ook gehardloop.
Skietdag vir maatskappye se spanne Die Bosbok tak van die SA Jagters Vereniging hou Saterdag die 17 Mei 2014 ‘n Span skietdag by Lydenburg. Die idee van die span skiet is daar gestel om skuts van die Mynbou en Privaat sektor Maatskappye te kry om teen mekaar mee te ding. Op die skietdae wat beplan is, sal die Myne, Kontrakteure en Maatskappye hulle passie vir skiet kan uitleef, netwerk geleentede gaan automaties geskep word, en daar gaan terug geploeg word in die gemeenskappe waar hulle woon en werk. Hoe gaan daar terug geploeg word met die skiet word daar gevra? Die uit einde is dat die top spanne n jagpakket sal wen, die wild sal gejag word en die vleis sal aan ouetehuise, skole ens. geskenk word. Enige span (Maatskappy, Myn of Kontrakteur) van vyf skuts is welkom om te kom skiet of te net om te kyk. Spanne bestaan gewoonlik uit twee skuts per span, myne, maatskappye ens. is welkom om meer as een span in te skryf. Saterdag 17 Mei se skiet word saam met Bosbok tak se jaarlikse Intertak kompetisie aangebied, dis vir daardie rede dat die spesifieke skietdag 5 x skuts per span gaan wees en nie twee soos gewoonlik nie. Daar was reeds April vanjaar so n kompetisie geskiet, die opkoms was goed. Baie belangstelling is deur maatskappye, myne en kontrakteurs getoon, en alle aanduidings is dat dit nog baie gaan groei. Die skiet sal plaasvind op die Egbert Hiemstra skietbaan net buite Lydenburg so 2km op die Roossenekal pad aan regterkant. (Langs vliegveld) Die Bosbok tak het dit ten doel om die hele gesin by hul aktiwiteite te betrek, wat onder andere bewaring, volhoubare benutting, opleiding, skietdae, trofeemeet en hulp te verleen met lisensiering van jagwapens insluit. Om hierdie doel word daar spesiaal ook vir die dames en juniors plek gemaak by die skiet. Op die stadium is een dames en junior span reeds ingeskryf. Die dag se skiet word soos volg gedoen: Die Rooiboktabel sonder rus vir die mans (Dames en Juniors Rooibok met rus) gaan geskiet word, en behels 9 skote wat op onderskeidelik op 200m - Lê houding (3 x skote\rondtes), 100m - Sithouding (3 x skote\rondtes) en 50m - Staanhouding (3 x skote\rondtes) geskiet word. Die vlakvark tabel is 75m - 3 x skote (Staan met skietstokke); 50m - 3 x skote (Staan) en 25m - 3 x skote snapskiet 5 x sekondes per skoot (Staan). Inskrywing: R150 per person = R750 per span van vyf. Inskrywingsgelde sluit in sertifikaat, worsbroodjie, koeldrank en Bosbok sakwapen. Navrae: Johan Grimbeek 082 378 0698; JB Willers 082 820 1748 of Leon Visser 082 808 9641.
