Hawkers ready for new dispensation Hawkers in Burgersfort and Praktiseer are readying themselves to move into the long awaited hakwers’ stalls that had been erected in Praktiseer and Burgersfort and they are full of confidence that the move is imminent. Chairman of the Tubatse Hawkers Association, Mr Mphanga, told the newspaper that in order to qualify for the possible allocation of a stall, people must be registered. Registration for Praktiseer hawkers happens this week and next week, while Burgersfort hawker registration will take place next week. People who registered with the Hawkers Association (contact Mr Lekwadu at 072 712 7735) should then approach the Greater Tubatse Municipality and pay R120 for a hawker’s permit. Those hawkers who registered and paid for permits in 2013 should let their registration be verified for new permits and they need not pay again. From 1 to 11 March this year people who are not yet doing business in Praktiseer or Burgersfort, will have the opportunity to register should they want to start hawking. All people will need a green bar-coded ID for registration apart from the R120. In the meantime it seems that problems with the water line are wiping out new hawker stalls at an alarming rate (photograph), and with that the town’s communication systems are also impaired as this week a bunch of Telkom lines were also destroyed when they tried to fix the water issue ...

‘Crime prevenƟon starts with me’
Members of Youth Against Crime at the event.
On Thursday 11 February 2016 the Makgane Sports Ground was a hive of ac vity. A massive crime awareness campaign took place with special performances from the South African Police Service (SAPS) between a long list of speakers. The theme of the day was ‘Crime preven ons starts with me’. Dwarsrivier Mine was one of the day’s sponsors and Ms. Tsakani Mkhabela from Dwarsrivier Mine told the crowd of school pupils and community members that the mine is commi ed towards helping to create safe and healthy environments for the communi es around them. She encouraged the learners to take responsibility in line with the theme and not become involved with criminal ac vi es, but rather become part of a bright crime free future where everyone works together to keep communi es safe. Apart from Dwarsrivier Mine and the SAPS, speakers of the day included the Community Policing Forum Chairperson, a representa ve of the Batau Development Forum, Contralesa, the
Department of Jus ce, Department of Home Affairs, Department of Social Development, Department of Health, Department of Educa on, Love Life, LEDET, SASSA, Youth Against Crime, Sekhukhune Taxi Associa on, a representa ve from the Tradi onal Healers, Moral Regenera on and the Makhudathamaga Municipality. Maj Gen MJ Maepa delivered the day’s keynote address. The group Youth Against Crime is one of the ini a ves Dwarsrivier Mine is suppor ng and the members showed off their T-shirts and caps while making good use of the camera Dwarsrivier Mine donated to them with the clothes. Special performances by the SAPS band, local groups and the SAPS mounted unit gave balance to the serious nature of the event - talking about crime. Dwarsrivier Mine and the other contributors to the day were thanked for their con nuous support in the fight against crime.

The Police at Ohrigstad are investigating a murder case after they found a lifeless body of a 31 year-old-man dumped alongside the R555 road next to Maepa Village on Saturday 2016-02-13 at 05:00. The Police received a call from a passer-by who alerted them about the person who was laying on the side of the road opposite the Hannah Game Lodge entrance. On their arrival they noticed that the person was not breathing and he was having two gun shot wounds, one on the stomach and another on the right thigh. The Police called an ambulance from Leboeng EMS who confirmed that the person was dead. Upon further investigation the Police found that the man was from Riba Cross and he was shot during a hijacking at the gate of his home at Riba Cross on Friday 2016-02-12 during which his vehicle, a VW Golf 7 was taken. His lifeless body was then dumped at the R555 Ohrigstad road. A case of hijacking is also been investigated by Tubatse SAPS, The Police are requesting anyone with information that can lead to the arrest of the criminals to come forward or contact the investigating officer D/Warrant Officer Masuku at 082 704 3943 or Const Phokane at 071 991 3354.
Good or bad - the new lanes
Motorists coming into Burgersfort last week Friday were suprised when they were ‘confronted’ with new road markings from the entrance to a new building up to the Eland Street Dirk Winterbach traffic lights. The new lanes were are ultra narrow and the right-turn lane at the traffic light seemed to be culled. To everybody’s credit, motorists excelled in the excercise of organised chaos and everybody managed to arrive safe. But will it work in the long term? As far as could be determined the contractor who did the road markings did not understand the guidelines very well and the issue will be revisted in the coming week.

Surviving the economic meltdown South Africa is currently experiencing a very difficult economic time and in Greater Tubatse it is being felt to the extreme as major role players in the local mining industry prepares to close their doors or scale down in an attempt to survive. The result is thousands of jobs being lost at mining companies, contractors and related industries. Even in the towns the slump is evident with businesses complaining of fewer feet and less spending. The economic meltdown is a culmination of various factors including (but not limited to) a global economic slow down, large scale community unrest and workforce strikes that made doing business in a profitable manner near impossible for large companies. Platinum Gazette asked readers what they think people should do to survive this meltdown in the economy.
Mr Vincent Tshabalala said: “People who are losing their jobs can start their own businesses or should be willing to work for a small salary just to survive. They can do things like selling fruit and vegetables – anything that will bring money in”.
Ms. Modiegi Mohoaduba, Ms. Pinky Malata and Ms Monicca Maisela said: “People should now start businesses like cooking and selling pap & vleis. They must cut their expenses and if they get money in retrenchment packages they should invest some of it. They can also start businesses like plumbing and electrician services. They can maybe also employ people in these businesses. They will earn less than at the mines or with contractors, but they will eventually get somewhere. If they don’t do this people will only get involved in crime”.
Mr Joel Sekhu said: “People must be willing to work for less money rather than losing their jobs because the business cannot afford to continue. They must not fight for more money or government must not force business to pay more than they can afford because it will just close the businesses down. If businesses close we don’t have anything. No income. Now we are struggling, but one day things will go better again and then people can get paid more again”.
Ms S’bongile Maripane said: “We must start our own businesses. We must start manufacturing toiletpaper. We can also apply for help from government when starting our businesses”.
Me. Lizzie Roetz sê: “Mense moet op hul knieë gaan en repent en leiding en hulp by God en nie die regering gaan soek nie. People should forgive and forget what ‘I’ want and focus on what God wants and obey 2 Cronicals 7:14 that states ‘if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land’. People will be astounded as to what will happen with nature, the economy and our country”.
Links: Mnr. Daniël Kgotle sê: “Mense sal nou moet aanvaar wat hulle betaal word al is dit min. ‘n Halwe brood is beter as niks. Mense moet nou harder werk vir minder geld. Dit lyk my mense dink soms geld kan soos klippe in die veld opgetel word. Mense moet onthou dat al is apartheid deur wit mense gedoen, is nie alle wit mense so nie. Die regering moet weer die wit mense terugbring sodat hulle kan help om ons ekonomie reg te kry. Daar is mense wat bang is dit sal dan weer raak soos in apartheid, maar dit sal nie. Dinge is nou anders. Kyk net hoeveel plase wat swart mense gekry het lewer nou niks. Waar is die hoenders en tarentale? Daar is nou niks van enige iets daar nie”.
Ms. Lorraine Mjekula and Ms. Patricia Maroga said: “People who are losing their jobs will have difficulty starting their own businesses, but if they work hard they can do it. It will however put pressure on those of us already suffering due to an oversupply in the market. People must be willing to settle for less money as long as they get something and can put food on the table. We’ll also have to teach our kids to save money. Kids will now have to learn that brands are not important. South Africa’s money went down with the passing of tata Mandela. It just went with him”. With them is Gift Mjekula.
Links: Ms Sabina Mpinga and Ms Hunadi Makwana said: “People must start their own small businesses because then at least they will survive. Selling things like veggies. They must use their retrenchment money to buy bakkies and start small businesses. People must be willing to do anything to earn money”.

- your plans and advice
Mr Joel Hlatswayo said: “People should be willing to settle for smaller salaries and work hard just to survive. Not everyone can have their own business. When the economy picks up again the salaries will increase again. It is impossible for everyone to open a business. Who will buy from who if we all have shops?”
Ms Naoma Kgomoesoana said: “People should start their own businesses. That means that everything you earn as an entrepreneur is yours. Every cent is yours. People will also work hard if it is for themselves. In our area they can do things like start selling paint, sell vegetables and make clothes”.
Ms Linkie Mothapo, Mr Service Moropane and Mr Gilbert Skhulu said: “As entrepreneurs we face the same challenges in the economy as everyone else. People should reduce their expenses and be willing to settle for a smaller salary for now. You have to look at the bigger picture. You just need to survive. We hope this economic meltdown is a passing thing”.
Mr William Tonga said: “People depend too much on the mines. We must go farming. Even if there is drought farming is still an option. We can live off small farms and sell some fruit and vegetables in town”.
Mr Godfrey Hlongwa said: “It is challenging. Somewhere government is letting us down. The problem lies at the top. Zuma must fall. Look what he did to the Finance Ministers. It is not ok. Many people are losing their jobs at the mines as they close. The days of big pay are over. Everyone must be willing to start small and earn small to survive and grow from there”.
Mr Clifford Phasha said: “Minimise costs. There is nowhere to go where it will be better. Everything is falling apart. We cannot rely on government to provide, we need to have our own plans. We must do things for ourselves like selling on the streets so we can live”.
Mnr. Jaune O’Neill sê: “Alle unies moet weggevat word. Dit is as gevolg van hulle strikes dat die myne moet toemaak. Mense sal nou bereid moet wees om vir minder geld te werk”.
Mr Kaizer Mgiba, Mr Simon Mzimba and Mr Karel Moraba said: “People who are losing their jobs at the mines should start businesses with their severance packages. They must not just take the money and drink it all out. We must try hard to do something for ourselves. There is no place to move to that will be better. We see people from Johannesburg coming here looking for jobs as there are no jobs there either. We can’t go anywhere better. People must support each other so that the small businesses can survive. We have hope that things will get better again”.
Mnr. Doctor Masinga sê: “Ons gaan in die moeilikheid wees. Ons sal moet plase kry. Mense moet hulle retrenchment geld bymekaarsit en grond koop. Ons moet boer. Ons moet dinge plant en daarvan leef en van dit verkoop. Ons moet koeie, hoenders en ‘n tractor koop. Mense moet nie bang wees vir hard werk nie. Ons moet ook bid tot God vir reën. Sonder God kan ons niks doen nie. Kyk hoe baklei hulle by die parlement! Ons moet vir onsself sorg en nie vir die regering wag nie. Die regering moet oppas, honger mense steel!”
Mr Kuziva Nyamurowa said: “People must start cutting on expenses. This is not a time for luxuries and debt. Clear the debt you have. People should start their own business if possible or settle for what is on the table in terms of salaries. A smaller salary at a small company is better than nothing. People are able to adjust to less money as they learn to live according to their income. Perhaps you don’t need a second or very expensive car?”

Accident free year for Ohrigstad Taxi Association Arrive alive taken serious. This is what the Ohrigstad Taxi Association did in order to achieve an accident free year. On Sunday 14 February the Ohrigstad Taxi Association and the Ohrigstad SAPS held a function at the Ohrigstad taxi rank in celebration of the achievement. The association’s vehicles had not been involved in a serious accident for the past year. The event was organised by the Ohrigstad Taxi Association and it was attended by taxi owners, magoshi, pastors, NGO’s, the SAPS and members of the community in the Ohrigstad and Leboeng area. The SAPS took the opportunity to address vehicle owners, drivers and the community about safety issues. The Ohrigstad SAPS station commissioner Capt Mashego encouraged people to make use
of public transport like the Ohrigstad taxis who operate responsibly. She also appealed to taxi owners to assist the elderly who participate in Stokvel with safe transport to the banks with large sums of money. The elderly often become robbery victims on their way to or from the bank. The taxi owners advised their clients in the presence of their drivers to rather be honest and ask the driver for transport if you short a rand or two instead of trying to get a lift from strangers. The taxi owners told commuters that they are there to assist them and work together to fight crime and a safe environment in the transport industry. (Information & photographs: Const.
