Gazette Your expectations noted?

The Greater Tubatse Municipality this past week concluded its public participation programme / consultative meetings with the general public, businesses and industries in the municipality to receive input on matters regarding service delivery and infratructure projects in the area. The presentation by the municipality looked as far ahead as 2021. According to the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s documents, what is needed until 2021 is immense when compared to the feedback report, which gives encouraging information about projects completed, especially in terms of electricity infrastructure in villages. Whether the electricity will be available and affordable was not in the scope of the planning ... In the photograph the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;completedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; foundation of the Burgersfort flea market, as mentioned in the council documents can be seen. From the documents it is not clear what the next step or budget for the project is.

It is not worth it to risk your future now with crime. Rather focus on your studies as this is the way to a be er future. In the past many people were not worried about obtaining qualifica ons, but these days it is necessary to show that you are not only willing to do the job, but also the best qualified candidate for it”.

Full steam ahead for Jubilee tailings

22 APRIL 2016 Photographs obtained from Jubilee website gallery

Jubilee Platinum has announced that all matters relating to its chrome processing development and operations are progressing satisfactory and report increased throughput capacity together with operational control of the ASA project at Dilokong, about 30 km from Burgersfort. Jubilee says since the company assumed operational control of all chrome processing capability at ASA, overall processing capability at ASA increased from 25,000 tpm to 75,000 tpm; This paves the way for increased third party material importation. Currently the company is processing 55 tonnes feed per hour, which will increase over the coming weeks. Operating margins per tonne will not be compromised and could potentially improve, based on only modest change, to the fixed cost component of the overall cost structure. Leon Coetzer, CEO said: “We are very pleased with progress on our tailings projects, particularly the increased chrome processing capability together with full operational control. This scenario will undoubtedly positively impact on all aspects of our chrome treatment business.”

Update: Ohrigstad sport complex Although not mentioned at all in the Greater Tubatse Local Municipality’s IDP presentation prepared for the recent consultative meetings, it seems that after two years the project is about roof level. On grassroots level there is no grass yet, although the wild grasses is threatening the newly constructed netball an tennis court. Estimated time of completion: unknown. (Platinum Gazette previously tried to engage with the contractor, but to no avail).

The missing stop signs in Burgersfort seems to have been replaced and cemented into the ground. How long they will stay put is anybody’s guess. Damaging it, putting advertising signs on it, driving over it, using it in constructing your house and shooting at it, is illegal and the law will deal with you. All you may do, is obey the signs.

What to do? What do you do when a concrete mixer truck is spilling it’s contents on the road like this one between Ohrigstad and Burgerfort recently? You try and flag the driver, who in ignorance just kept on driving. According to a spokesperson for the company who were contacted by e-mail, the company must clean the surface after the spillage (which it did not do). You can can also claim from the company if your vehicle was damaged because of the spillage if you can prove it. Meanwhile it seems that the adminsitrastion of justice around the transporting of anything in the area is almost non-existing. As long as you have your license (legal or bought) with you and your vehicle is roadworthy and you keep to the speed limit where they can see you, everything is fine.

What do you think about the The South African Police Service has announced that the training for new recruits will be shortened to 8 months. This means the time these recruits will be spending in training will shorten by more than half than previously done. Previously they spend 24 months being trained. According to Brig. Hangwani Mulaudzi, the shortened course will be much more intense and aimed at providing a more “pro-active” policing qualification. The new system kicked in on 11 April and these recruits will be ready for deployment by December 2016 – the same time as when the last of those completing the old training will be ready. It is expected that 8000 new young police officers will be ready for deployment by December this year. The new programme is said to place emphasis on a dedicated, disciplined and professional police service working together with the public. They will receive both practical and theoretical training and will do service at community service centers close to training centers across the country. The announcement of the changed training was met with mixed responses from the public. Some criticized it for not giving enough time for proper training while others focus more on the quality of the training. 1992 police officers received only six months of training at a college before being placed at a station. There they received further training while working with a field training officer. Platinum Gazette asked readers what they think about the new training time for police recruits.

Ms Portia Mokgotho said: “Eight months of training is ok, but it must be quality training and they must really want to be police officers”.

Mr Sipho Mahlakwana said: “It is important for South Africa to look at other countries with a low crime rate. We should see how they train and for how long they train their police officers. We should check their systems and strategies and copy it. I don’t think reducing the training time will be a solution for crime”.

Me Carla van der Walt sê: “Hulle behoort langer opleiding te ontvang want vandag is hulle so roekeloos – veral met hulle vuurwapens. Hulle sit sommer op hulle wapens. Reëls behoort te verander en dissipline te verbeter. Hoe moet hulle leer om verantwoordelik te wees as hulle net agt maande opleiding kry?”

Mr Bush Shai said: “Eight months is not enough. At least 24 months is needed. They also have to do physical training because some police officers are too fat”. With him is Ms Lebo Shai.

Mr Elliot Makofane said: “This is not long enough. They must get physical and academic training. Eight months is not long enough for all of that”.

Ms Kholofelo Magabane said: “It is not long enough to train them in eight months, but we also need more police officers urgently. The quality of the training is important”. With her is Ntimba.

Right: Mr Tomile Headman said: “It is ok to train them only 8 months, as long as the training is good”.

Mr Peter Twala said: “Twenty-four months is what their training should be. They need thorough training for their job. Eight months is too short for them”.

Mr Lenox Mmadi said: “Eight months is too short. It should be at least two years. They should have kept it like it was. If they don’t get proper training how can they deliver? If they get enough time to train, they can deliver”.

shortened SAPS training?

Mnr. Vantie Eloff en Mnr. Jean O’Neill sê: “Opleiding help hulle in elk geval nie, dit maak nie saak hoe lank nie. Hulle moet mense wat weet hoe, kry om die opleiding te kom doen. Ons mense weet duidelik nie. Die ander kant is ook – wat kan jy hulle leer as die krimineel meer regte as die polisieman het?”

Mr Daniël Malepe said: “It depends on the quality of the training. The values they implement is a problem. The problem in the SAPS is the values and not the training. Training does not matter. If they have values and don’t do bribery it will be good, but now they only look after their stomachs”.

Mr Thumelo Mashile said: “Eight months is not enough. Before they trained 24 months. Now they will know nothing. They should be able to know the difference between the different types of cases. They need time to train and learn. Sometimes they also need to go to court as part of their training. They should experience different things like conducting a road block”.

Ms Velry Ngobeni and Mr David Mashabela said: “Eight months is ok. Even the biggest companies gives you the opportunity to prove yourself and this they should do when given the opportunity. Eight months is fine as long as it is quality training”.

Mr Gert Rantho said: “One and a half years is what their training should be. They need more time to learn how to work as a police officer. Now they just go to work to go and sleep”.

Mnr Daniël Kgotle sê: “Agt maande is lank genoeg as dit goeie opleiding is, maar ongelukkig is die meeste mense te sleg om regtig te leer en te werk. Die mense dink hulle kan net kry, maar hulle wil nie leer en gee nie”.

Mr Patrick Malepe and Mr Collen Malepe said: “They will not be able to do the job. It is too short. Some of them will take bribes. They must be competent. The new recruits must have a passion to fight crime and not just want a job. Then they won’t take bribes and will work well, no matter the training. They must understand their jobs”.

Ms Sabina Mpinga said: “They should be trained longer. Eight months is too short. They will not have all the knowledge in eight months. Longer training will result in them knowing better how to combat crime”.

Mr Colman Magoma said: “It is too short. Even after 24 months the SAPS is not properly trained. Eight months won’t work”. Mr Christopher Mokoena and Mr Frederick Lesenya said: “It depends. They must train 24 months because when you look at how things are now, the system of training is poor. They must also be competent in handling firearms and must know the laws. When selecting recruits they should also give preference to reservists. Eight months is too short. They must be trained in different environments. It is also important that the selection must not be done on a political base”. Left: Mr Dennis Malepe said: “In our community we need quality training for the police officers. Government is now looking at cutting expenses in training police officers and not at the quality of the officers they’ll be producing. They need at least 18 months of training so they can give proper service. What will now happen is that people will say they don’t want to give a proper service while the reality is that they received poor training on how to give a proper service”.

Right: Mr Sello Skosana said: “We need proper training for our SAPS. Eight months is not enough. At least two years is necessary. They should also improve the quality of training given because our communities have a lot of challenges”.

Casual Day ambassadors are ready The Casual Day theme for 2016 is Up Your Game and will be celebrated on Friday 2 September 2016. Casual Day beneficiaries would like to thank public donors and fundraisers for their massive support for the project in 2015. Says Vanessa du Plessis, Casual Day project leader: “The public have been incredibly generous and we thank them. However, we must not be complacent in our understanding of the great need for funding in this area. Organisations in the disability sector are invited to register with us and raise funds for themselves via our infrastructure. We are embarking on a countrywide roadshow, so look out for one near you. “This funding will benefit thousands of persons with disabilities through the branches of its 12 beneficiary organisations in every region. The public donated an overall amount of R27 million – R18 million was raised

by the NGO sector, while the remaining R9 million was raised through the corporate sector. “The beneficiaries of the funds, collected via a donation for a R10 sticker, on the first Friday in September each year, include 500 schools and organisations that render services to persons with disabilities. In a spirit of transparency, the public must also know that a portion of the funds go to running costs, but we keep them as low as possible,” she concludes. Casual Day is the flagship project of the National Council for Persons with Physical Disabilities in SA (NCPPDSA). And now for 2016: Let the fun and games begin! 2016 is a year of sport and the public is invited to join in the activities.You can contact the organisers of the project on 011 609 7006 or visit the website at www.casualday.co.za The funds are raised as a result of a R10 donation for a Casual Day sticker. www.facebook.com/ CasualDaySA Twitter: @CasualDay_SA #CasualDay

Veldskiet is groot pret

Die Bosbok Tak van die Jagters Vereeniging van Suid-Afrika en die Waterval CVO skool het verlede naweek saamgespan om ‘n Veldskietdag aan te bied. Die dag is by PLM Boerdery gehou en verskillende bane is uitgelê. Daar is op verskillende afstande na verskillende teikens asook boog en gongskiet gedoen. Die idee van die dag is om pret te hê, die publiek ‘n kans te gee om betrokke te raak en meer te leer terwyl lede wat regmaak vir die jagseisoen solank ‘n bietjie kon oefen. Tussen die dag se aktiwiteite deur het die CVO skool gesorg vir heerlike kos en ‘n paar uitstallers het alles en nog wat gehad vir jagters en skuts.

Girls With Guns was een van die vrouespanne wat deelgeneem het.

Pannekoek, boereworsrolle asook pap en kaiings was op die spyskaart.

Riding for Modikwa It was a busy weekend for Modikwa Cycle Club (MCC) members with two races taking place. It was a difficult choice between a mountain bike race at Swadini Forever Resort and a road race in Polokwane. Most members opted for the latter, while Bev Rieck chose to represent the club at Swadini.The Swadini race was held on Saturday the 16th of April at Swadini Forever Resort near Hoedspruit. The other race that took place during the weekend was the Annual Mayoral Cycle Race on Sunday, 17th of April at Polokwane. Members who participated were Darren McDonald, Ilse McDonald, Helgaard Prins,

Juanita Prins, Andre Duminy, Carene Duminy, Nicole Duminy and Reneilwe Nong. Members opted for the 45 km route. All MCC members completed the race without incidents or injuries well before the cut off time and received medals. A special word of thanks must be extended to Modikwa Mine Management and the Sport Club for their involvement in obtaining cycling kits for the members. They were all very proud to be wearing it for the first time during the race and to be representing Modikwa Mine at such a big event. (Information & photographs: Willem Montgomery).
