67 minutes - why?
This question arose in the mind of this newspaper’s editor when he could not sleep, wondering how he will accomodate all the good stories of people, businesses and large companies doing good on Mandela Day that literally swamped the available space in Platinum Gazette this week. Newspapers are businesses and more pages cannot simply be added without the means to pay for it. The other difficult question was, what to put on the front page? As the editor travelled through the area this week, what he saw made him baulk. The dirt that was not cleaned (and is still piling up), the neglect and vandalising of public amenities and the fact that nobody seems to care about stuff like traffic lights not working for months and raw sewerage literally flowing through the streets in Burgersfort’s central business area (top photograph). So there you have it, just a few photographs to remind everybody that 67 minutes once a year is a good idea, but that much more will be needed from government, companies and ordinary people to create a good living evironment for all. Top, right is the side of the road between Burgersfort and Praktiseer, a terrible dumping site on both sides of the road and the Leboeng Community Hall (right), with not a single door or electrical plug or fitting left, animal waste all over the floor, only two windows not vandalised. The blade cuts in all directions. Read the good stories inside.

Dwarsrivier Mine Dwarsrivier Mine honours Mandela Day by giving back
Mr Mthi Mtshengu (above), Senior General Manager at Dwarsrivier Mine and his management team also contributed their 67 minutes in honour of Mandela Day.
Dwarsrivier Mine honoured Mandela Day on 18 July 2014 by renovating Nkotwane Secondary School in Ngwaabe. The school was in dire need of some tender loving care and Dwarsrivier Mine brought that along. A new coat of paint for the inside and outside of the school as well as the replacement of all the broken windows had been done. Some broken classroom doors were replaced and the school grounds were cleaned and the grass cut. In a short ceremony speakers called on the school’s learners, teachers, the governing body and community to take care of the school. Dwarsrivier Mine underlined their commitment towards creating a better future for communities surrounding the mine. Local contractors appointed by Dwarsrivier Mine will complete the work that was not finished on 18 July. Dwarsrivier employees gave more than the called for 67 minutes to help make the world a better place. They also joined forces with Greater Tubatse Councillors, Kgoshi, teachers, community members and learners to pick up rubbish in the area. This task was one President Jacob Zuma requested and all over the country communities cleaned their environment. SK FM ensured that everything happened to a beat and delicious boerewors rolls and cold drinks prepared by Dwarsrivier employees ensured that nobody who pitched in to renovate was left hungry.

Modikwa - a mine that cares for communities Modikwa Platinum Mine employees showed more than their mining skills when they volunteered their time to clean the Bonankwe Primary School in Driekop as an endeavour to assist the less fortunate on Mandela Day. The Mine, along with the Hwashi Difagate Trust and the Section 21 staff members proved to be pillars to local communities when they spent their 67 minutes scraping floors and tidying the premises of Bonankwe. The Modikwa delegation included the organised labour, the National Union of Mine Workers and the United Association of South Africa, was led by the Business leader, Mr Gerhard Van Niekerk. They joined forces with local Councillors and the Greater Tubatse Municipality (GTM) Mayor, Mr Ralepane Mamekoa to undertake this good deed.The delegation assembled at Modikwa Central (HRD Lapa) to outline their plans for the day. When the team arrived at the school, they wasted no time in cleaning the bushy school leaving it spotless. The team proceeded from Bonankwe Primary to Dilokong Hospital where they joined the Business Leader, Mr Van Niekerk in donating toys, food parcels, tennis balls and rackets on behalf of the Mine. The
delegation went further. They cooked for the orphans and the disadvantaged children who reside at the hospital’s Children Centre. Mr Van Niekerk said that Modikwa took the needs of their surrounding communities serious and that the Mine was determined to continue ploughing back to the people. “As we all know, Madiba dedicated his life to children and the elderly, we felt like it was suitable for Modikwa to make a difference in the lives of these kids. Our aim was to put smiles on their faces, and I believe we have achieved that. We will continue striving to give back to our communities,” he said. Local residents praised Modikwa for their consideration of the community’s needs. “With the help of the Mine, we wish to eradicate poverty and try by all means to provide job opportunities to the locals. We have already identified the biggest problem - poverty, and our challenge is to combat this scourge,” one of the community attending the day’s proceedings remarked. The spokesman for the Dilokong hospital, Mr. William Makola thanked Modikwa for having considered the hospital for their 67 minutes in honour of Mandela Day.

Ngululu Bulk Carriers continues to care for the elderly
Praktiseer hawkers are not forgotten Hawkers in Praktiseer will also benefit from the Greater Tubatse Municipality’s projects to construct modern flea market facilities.
During the past week, the hawkers adjacent to the police station and taxi rank had to move before the construction can start.
Ngululu Bulk Carriers (NBC) Steelpoort donated 300 blankets to elderly people from six different communities in the area. The old people were transported to Winterveld Recreational Club where the annual function took place. The event fell together with Mandela Day on 18 July 2014. The elders each received a blanket and were served a meal and cold drink at the end of the event. NBC employees, Mr Walter Ramugondo and Ms Lebo Malapane (photograph left) also gave a blanket to one of the royal houses that attended the day. (Photographs & Information: NBC)

You can go from this to this
Seek help as soon as you see you cannot pay all your bills You can get out of debt. With the help of a registered Debt Counsellor it can be easier than you think! Times are tough and you need to seek help as soon as you see that you are unable to pay all our bills on time. A registered Debt Counsellor will assist you in drawing up a budget that will allow you to repay your debt, but also still be able to pay for living expenses such as food, transport and utilities. If it is necessary, the Debt Counsellor will go to court on your behalf to negotiate a better repayment term for your debt. The key is however that
you still need a monthly income and although the monthly payments may be reduced, you will still have to repay the debt. You will also not be allowed to make new debt if you are placed under Debt Review. Being under Debt Review will prevent the banks and other creditors from repossessing things like your home or your car. That is why it is important to seek help before it is too late. Once they’ve started with legal action against you, the Debt Counsellor may not be able to assist you. Make sure that you visit a NCR registered Debt Counsellor as you will be making a monthly payment towards them which will be directed to the various places you owe money. Should you make use of an unregistered person, you run the risk of losing your money and getting deeper into financial trouble than you already are.
Office in Lydenburg now also open!
