Lekgotla slams violent service protests The Sekhukhune Mayoral Lekgotla this week resolved that while communities might have genuine service delivery concerns, violent protests taking criminal forms are not the correct approach of dealing with those concerns. This statement comes at a time when the South African Police Services is working hard in fighting continuous violent actions by some members of the public, particularly in the Greater Tubatse Municipality and Ephraim Mogale Municipality. The latest incident occurred on 15th July 2015 where motorists and general public woke up to find that the people of the Phasha Mampuru and Ngwaabe areas have blockaded roads R579 and R555 leading towards the towns of Steelpoort and Jane Furse with burning tyres, tree trunks and stones. “Whilst we appreciate that the people have genuine concerns we cannot condone the violence that is taking place. As government through the department of public works we have appointed a contractor who will be handed over to the community of Phasha Mampuru before work to tar the road commences. We are forever committed to work with our people and engage in dialogue to solve whatever concerns they may have” said Executive Mayor Cllr Mogobo David
Magabe, during the opening of the one day Mayoral Lekgotla held at Ga-Marishane village. “Having gathered here we have also learnt with sadness the burning of a vehicle belonging to one of our councillors in Phetwane village of Ephraim Mogale Municipality on 14 July 2015). We understand that some members of the community went into a rampage following a dispute over employment within a water project in the Flag Boshielo Dam. And as government we acknowledge that there were loopholes in the implementation of the project on the part of social facilitation appointed by our implementing agent, the Lepelle Northern Water, to appoint labourers. As such, we acknowledge and agree with the community that the appointment of labourers was not done accordingly. We are however, concerned that our people regard projects as job creation mechanism but like with the situation in Phetwane village, we wish to state that the primary aim of this project is to provide sustainable water to the people with jobs as secondary factor” remarked Cllr Magabe. The Executive Mayor further alluded to the fact that the Mayoral Lekgotla is held to look into progress made with regard to service delivery implementation plans and
stressed that local Mayors, Councillors, Traditional Leaders, civil society groups and all members of the community must work together for peaceful solutions to every challenge. Executive Mayor Magabe further said that government is serious about service delivery goals and will continue working with all role players to ensure that there is accountability on financial management, provisioning of basic services and achieving social unity and cohesion.“We have also noted the preliminary recommendation by the Municipal Demarcation Board that the Fetakgomo Local Municipality will be merged with Greater Tubatse Municipality after the 2016 Local government elections. And by implication this will mean that a new type of a municipality will be established in the Sekhukhune District Municipality and government needed to ready itself for this new challenge” concluded Executive Mayor Magabe. The Executive Mayor urged the South African Police Services to strengthen its hand in uprooting acts of criminality where they exist without infringing upon the human rights of other individuals. The Mayoral Lekgotla which is held every 3 months is used by the District Municipality and its five local municipalities as a platform to access government performance and enhance service delivery.
In court According to Burgersfort Police, two groups were already arrested by Wednesday for the public violence along the R555 route between Ngwaabe and Steelpoort this week. Constable Victoria Maluleka told the newspaper that six suspects (al male between 30 and 35) had been arrested and appeared in court in Burgersfort on Wednesday after they allegedly torched a vehicle carrying tiles on 12 July at around 20:40 in the evening. The incident took place on the R555 at the Dwars River bridge at Ngala Camp. The 50-year-old driver escaped before the vehicle started burning. 12 Men were secheduled to appear at the Sekhukhune Magistrate’s Court on Thursday after they allegedly took part in blocking the road to Eerstegeluk on 14 July at around 12:30. When the Police approached, people pelted them with stones. The crowd was dispersed after helicopter backup was obtained. The 12 men were arrested on the scene. The are between the ages of 25 and 29.

Red = STOP
Burgersfort residents smiled this week as some of the traffic lights that were out of order for more than a year started working again. It does however seem that some drivers will need a refresher course on what the coloured lights are meaning as many simply
drive straight over the red lights. The traffic officers may have a break from being pointsmen, but will now have a field day fining those skipping the red lights.

Will you be giving 67 minutes On Saturday 18 July 2015 the world will remember Nelson Mandela’s birthday by celebrating Mandela Day. On this day everyone is encouraged to give 67 minutes of his or her time to help make the world a better place. This figure is calculated by the years Mandela gave in service of humanity. Platinum Gazette asked a few readers what they plan to do on Mandela Day.
Mr. Matthews Seerane and Mr. Freddy Mzimba said: “We’ve identified a granny who stays with her grandchildren and they don’t have a toilet. They are currently using the neighbours’ toilet. On Saturday we will be going there to build her a toilet. It may be more of a project and not only 67 minutes, expanding into Sunday, but Mandela Day should be every day and we should carry his legacy forward”.
Mr. Isaac Mafane said: “I’ve got a driving school – Makakole Driving School. I’ll be giving free lessons on road signs. I’ll lecture people so we can avoid accidents. Especially the young ones buy new cars and drive without licenses and they don’t know the road signs.
Ms. Salome Mamogale said: “I’m going to help people by making tea for them next to Choppies. It will be special tea that will help encourage good health. For 67 minutes I’ll give that for free”.
Mr. Tshepho Mabilo and Mr. Tshepiso Mabilo said: “We’ll start by visiting local crèches or schools and asking there how we can help them. We like tidy places so we’ll also be cleaning in our community. We’d like to visit elderly people and ask how we can help them”.
18 July 2015 - Give 67 minutes of your time
Mr. Sydney Makoka said: “I’ll give my 67 minutes on another day. I share a birthday with the big man and I would just like to celebrate it with my family at Thaba Moshate”.
Mr. Gabriel Komane said: “I want to volunteer at a school cleaning campaign or the municipality’s cleaning campaign. It is important that we celebrate Mandela Day”.
Mr. Zakhele Jozine, Mr. David Mathebula and Mr. Tshepo Nkambule said: “We usually plan something for Mandela Day. We plan it with our company, Working on Fire. We visit grannies at the old age home. We take them some food and we do some gardening for them”.
Mr. Jacky Chuma said: “Mandela Day should be every day. I’m far away from home so I don’t really know where to help around here”.

Mr. Thomas Mabelane said: “Mandela Day should be every day. One should not be doing something for fame or to be in the newspaper. Do what you do to help in the quiet. Ask yourself every day how many people’s lives did you change? I’m not planning something specific for Saturday”.
Mr. Solomon Mafologela said: “We are going to celebrate. I’ll visit some elderly people and if I can I will donate something to them”.

Dreams bigger than houses Many people are very negative when it comes to the young people of South Africa, but there is so much talent waiting to be unearthed that excitement should be in the air. Hidden away in a small village (Ga-Moraba village) near Leboeng is Given Tshehla. He is dreaming big dreams and while he is doing that he is building scale models of what he would like to one day design and see being constructed. He is 17 years old and a grade 10 learner at Maremishe High School. He dreams of one day becoming an architect. This is not something he is taking lightly. He has a passion for the structure and measurements of design and in 2008 started creating scale models of houses with cardboard boxes and other waste materials. His family is however not in a position to make his dream of studying after school a reality. His talent was spotted by the Leboeng Police Station’s Youth Coordinator, Const. Sibatana. Sibatana were doing his duties, making sure the youth of the area is safe and not getting involved with crime during the winter holidays, when he discovered Given’s talent. People who would like to get in contact with Given or would like to assist in helping his dream to one day work as an architect become a reality, can reach him on 076 985 3216 or e-mail him at givenlegodi9@gmail. com. Alternatively contact his mother, Ms. Mamorake Selina Tshehla on 072 208 0460. (Information & photographs: Const. M.A . Sibatana)
Burning broad in daylight
Ohrigstad’s streetlights are shining brightly, even when they are not needed. This is specifically the lights leading through town and not internal street lights. The town has had problems with these lights on and off for years. Often they are not working at all and when they are working they often have the tendency to never switch off during the day. In times where load shedding is a reality, residents asked why these are left to burn during bright daylight? This photograph was taken on Saturday afternoon.
