Relief Gazette From Goverment: “The Sekhukhune District Municipality is pleased to announce that following the recent rainfalls across the country, water supply is back to normal in Burgersfort. It is against this background that we are happy to report to residents of Burgersfort that the process of filling up all the reservoirs is currently underway and water will be pumped 100% to all the previously affected areas. Currently, all our water sources including Spekboom River are running at normal levels and able to produce enough water. Lastly, we appeal to residents at high level areas to be patient as it might take sometime before they receive full water supply. Accordingly, the district municipality wishes to apologize to all residents who have been inconvenienced by the temporary water supply initiative of water tankers. We are aware that our officials didn’t service all residences equally and we humbly apologize to all those who were not serviced accordingly. In conclusion, we are still urging our communities to use water sparingly as we haven’t as yet moved out of drought situation. People must still continue to use buckets for car wash, refrain from watering gardens, use cups for mouth wash and avoid full taps, etc.” Spekboom River photographed at Fraaiuitsicht outside Burgesrfort looked much better on Tuesday this week.

A Ga-Mokgadi, debris roof fell on an Isuzu bakkie. Internal roads were also undriveable because of the heavy wind and rain. (Information and photographs supplied by Mr W Makua).
Rains bring relief ... and damage
Widespread rain in the area has brought welcome relief for especially farmers who suffer heavily from the searing drought. Heavy storms also caused damage, but says, Mr Lodewyk de Jager of PLM Boerdery “We do not mind the damage, we will fix whatever is broken, but nothing can replace water, we will take as much as we get. In our area 90 mm fell in one night. We are thankful”. Not all areas received so much rain and measured figures indicated rainfall of 20, 30, 50 and 70 mm in and around Steelpoort and Burgersfort, apart from the 90 mm that was measured at PLM.

Pedestrian road safety in focus S
howing care and respect for the people living in the communities surrounding Anglo American Platinum’s operations includes helping to ensure their safety. With South Africa’s road accident statistics over the festive season being so horrifyingly high, Twickenham Project recently held, in collaboration with Fetakgomo Greater Tubatse Municipality, a road safety campaign focusing on pedestrians. The event, held at the Ntwampe Sports Grounds on 15 November 2016, was attended by the local Mayor Councillor MJ Phokane as well as representatives of government, local entities such as the municipality, Ntwampe Tribal Council, SAPS, Community Engagement Forum, emergency services and Druta Taxi Association as well as the learners, principals and school Governing body representatives of the Ntwampe, Magobanye, Tekanang, Makopi and Tshihlo secondary schools. More than 200 people attended the event, including people with disabilities. The campaign was the fourth conducted since the series’
launch during the Easter period in 2014. The campaigns are in line with the Provincial Government’s Arrive Alive campaign and Anglo American Platinum’s Zero Harm programme. The purpose of this year’s campaign was to alert both drivers and pedestrians on their responsibilities regarding pedestrian safety. Last year, during the festive season, 1,387 accidents occurred on South African roads in which people lost their lives. Of these accidents, 208 occurred in the Limpopo province and more than a third of the people who died were pedestrians and cyclists. The R37 is a particularly notorious route which is also the focus of the campaign. At the event, Twickenham Project’s Social Performance and Safety team members handed out leaflets and bottles of water with a road safety message, while members of management encouraged road users to show extra caution on the road. Jeff Ngobeni, Senior Social Performance Manager, urged the audience to comply with traffic regulations and provided further practical safety tips. “I would also like to remind others here today, those of you who drive vehicles, to make it a priority to watch out for pedestrians,” he said. “Always remember that small children may not be ‘traffic wise’ and may suddenly run into the road. Let’s all make a decision right here today, to show care and respect for each other by being responsible, alert drivers and pedestrians.” To encourage learners in absorbing safety principles, an exciting question-and-answer session was held, with gifts for those who showed a good understanding of the information shared. The event was also an opportunity for the mayor to donate bicycles to children who travel long distances to school in his Shova Kalula campaign. The overarching goals of the road safety campaigns are to change driver and pedestrian behaviour while informing road users and encouraging them to be alert; to support the law enforcement efforts of the 2016 Arrive Alive programme; and to encourage road users to take responsibility for their safety on the road.
Mayor Councillor MJ Phokane and Twickenham’s Senior Social Performance Manager, Mr Jeff Ngobeni delivered special messages.

Modikwa PlaƟnum Mine cares for the CommuniƟes O ne of the main challenges the surrounding communiƟes experience is the access roads within the communiƟes and to the gravesites. Modikwa PlaƟnum Mine and the communiƟes idenƟfied that challenge and saw a need to tackle it head-on. Through the Social and Labour Plans (SLP) consultaƟon process which was held two years back the mine, communiƟes, local municipality and DMR decided to prioriƟze access roads within the communiƟes and a budget was set-aside for this purpose as part of the SLP commitment. The mine started upgrading the access roads during the third quarter of this year at MaƟmatjatji village cemetery and paving of the access road to Sehlaku village cemetery, and both roads were completed successfully. The mine also upgraded the access roads at Swale and Mamphahlane villages respecƟvely. The communiƟes use to struggle to access the main tarred road (also done by Modikwa) during rainy seasons and such struggle is the thing of the past as the mud has been dealt with. In addiƟon to the above menƟoned access roads, the mine is currently busy with the paving of Mamphahlane village cemetery and upgrading of Mooihoek access roads respecƟvely. These two projects are also envisaged to be completed in the next coming few weeks. The combined cost for all the roads is above R6 million; and local companies from our villages were given the task to do the roads thus empowering local businesses whom in turn hired 65 local people (36 male youth and 29 female youth) to do the work as temporary employees.
The access road to Swale village was upgraded.
The local companies involved in construcƟng the roads are Babina Kosha, Mandladox, TLS 83 Trading, Tshiamiso Trading and Mmupudung. Some of the local companies subcontracted are Efa Mabaka and Mohube Trading. Some individuals with plant hire within the local communiƟes were also used in transporƟng material to the sites. The mine is also busy with the erecƟon of Apollo lights at Mamphahlane and Hwashi villages respecƟvely. A local company called Bana Ba Setso has partnered with a Gauteng based company to do the project; and it is envisaged that the The road to Sehlaku Cemetery has been completed. project will be completed before the end of the year. Through our SLP, Modikwa PlaƟnum Mine in partnership with the communiƟes and the local municipality shall strive to meaningfully develop the communiƟes in order to enhance their socio economic condiƟons. !!!!!

community of Western Cape. The demonstration event will also be the beginning of a multi-fold partnership between the Western Cape Department of Cultural Affairs, TUPS Sport and African Agri Investments. Key areas of interest and cooperation for these role players is addressing the challenges of alcohol abuse, underage drinking, lack of diversity in sport and recreational activities for farm and rural communities. According to the TUPS inventor Mr Puleng Mmotla, the follow-up visit to the Western Cape is the tangible expression of commitment to the introduction of TUPS as an indigenous and recreational sport amongst communities in the rural areas of the province. “We are so highly motivated by the warm reception and the positive response from Minister Marais and her office. We are eager to share the joy of playing TUPS with the Minister and her office, together with the community of the Western Cape. The immediate goal is to establish one TUPS Club in every farm community outside Cape Town. Once these clubs are established we aim to build their capacity and self-sustenance through the TUPS leadership and coaching programmes” says Mmotla He added that the efforts to reach out and introduce TUPS in all the provinces of South Africa is part of the objective to get TUPS Sport recognised by the Department of Sport and Recreation (SRSA) and the South African Sport Confederations and Olympics Committee (SASCOC). Mmotla added that they will focus on the farm communities in the Western Cape because of the work they have done in Somerhoek in Limpopo where they successfully supported the set-up of a sports club for workers.
