R200 million road project MOA signed Atok to Twickenham
Gazette
A strategic Memorandum of Agreement has been signed between Roads Agency Limpopo (RAL) and platinum producer, Anglo American Platinum, for the tarring of a key economic development route that connects Twickenham Platinum Mine to surrounding villages in the Sekhukhune region in the Limpopo Province. Speaking at the signing ceremony held on 18 August at the mining giant’s head office in downtown Johannesburg, RAL CEO Maselaganye Matji, said in terms of the agreement, Anglo American Platinum would contribute R46,8 million towards the design and construction of the 20km road estimated to cost R200 million, stretching from Atok, passing through Ga-Selepe, Ga-Mashabela to Twickenham Platinum Mine. RAL will be responsible for the R153,2 million balance. “We have decided to adopt a strategy to bring in partners who can assist in road construction. Once our roads are in a good condition, businesses will be interested in participating in the Limpopo economy,” he said. Of the 20 260km of road network that RAL is responsible for, about 14 300km is gravel road. In terms of its own calculations, the roads agency would need R150 billion to address the backlog, money that is not available through the fiscus. That is why such partnerships are crucial. “To build a road is not cheap,” said the RAL CEO. Indresen Pillay, executive head of projects at Anglo American Platinum, said it was the first time his company had entered into a partnership whereby they co-fund an infrastructure project with a state entity. In the past, he said, Anglo would build a clinic or a school for a community and hand over the completed project to either the Department of Education or Health. He said the company was initially concerned around issues of governance, capability, capacity and leadership. However, they were impressed by the solid management structure and expertise that exists within RAL to handle such a dynamic partnership project. “What RAL has demonstrated is that they have the governance in place, they have the capacity and capability in place and they have got the funding mechanism in place to be able to allow this to happen. When you have the stars aligning in that way, it makes it feasible to enter into these kinds of agreements,” he said. Pillay said his company was excited to share ideas and expertise with a state agency and was committed to seeing the entire project through. “This is not something where we are going to write a cheque and walk away. We will continue to be partners in the delivery of this project, and as partners we will be able to learn from one another,” he added. Progress has already been made in relation to this latest partnership with Anglo American Platinum. The project has gone out on a public tender, and once a preferred contractor has been selected, construction work could begin around September 20. Anglo American’s Twickenham Project, the company’s core platinum mine situated in the Sekhukhune region of Limpopo, has been struggling of late. The mine has been put under care and has had to reduce some of its workload. Anglo American Platinum and RAL are aiming to use this project to boost the local economy by not only employing from the communities that will be served by the road under construction, but to procure materials from locals and to develop suppliers that can be able to provide raw material to the contractor. In addition to this Memorandum of Agreement, Anglo has completed a number of road infrastructure initiatives for communities neighbouring its Twickenham Mine and the Fetakgomo/Greater Tubatse Municipality.

Ongoing tension at illegal mines Authorities raided illegal mining operations at Tjibeng near Atok about halfway between Burgersfort and Polokwane for the second time in two months in an effort to halt the illegal mining activities. Illegal chrome mining operations were first raided in the week of 15 July this year on the farms Winterveldt 417 SK, Jagdlust 418 SK and Zeekoegat 421 SK. Mining minister Mozebenzi Zwane at that time expressed his support for the raids and efforts to put illegal mining to a stop. Illegal mining is prohibited in terms of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act and the National Environmental Management Act. The perpetrators were operating without a mining permit, prospecting right or mining right as well as no environmental authorisation. The department said at that time it is always ready to assist communities. In terms of the MPRDA, communities can lodge a preferential prospecting or mining right and the department will assist accordingly, in cases where there are no existing applications, permits or rights. This first intervention by authorities clearly had no effect and the illegal mining continued well into this month before the most recent raid on Tuesday. Unfortunately the miners seemed to have been tipped off about the raid. A group of miners who claimed to be mining on the shoulder of Anglo Platinum’s Bokoni mine ran from the plant before police and Mineral Resources officials accompanied by a sheriff went to check out the area on Tuesday. Police said they had planned to arrest the operators but when they arrived at the site there were no officials nor mine representatives. General Maepa of Burgersfort Police said only machines were left, which were subsequently confiscated because they were used in the commission of crime. “There is a law in the country that people should respect, and if they don’t comply, they will face the Police,” added Maepa. The open-cast mine was abandoned more than four decades ago. However, some small-scale miners are apparently still trying to mine there.Recently, residents in the area started mining with and without machines, digging chrome with their spades and iron shovels. Platinum Gazette has also witnessed skorro-skorro trucks moving ore from the mining operations after dark when the ‘mines’ are at full production, creating quite a hazard on the R37.

After the recent local government elections a whole new group of councillors have been selected and sworn in. To assist this group of fresh faces with performing their tasks properly they will be receiving basics training. The Back to Basics programme is a government initiative to ensure that councillors serve their communities efficiently. On Tuesday during a debate in the National Assembly Corporate Governance and Traditional Affairs Deputy Minister Andries Nel said that going forward particular attention will be paid to local economic development, implementing the local integrated development framework and strengthening the district systtem. “To ensure that newly elected councillors are empowered to serve their communities, a three-year induction and training proramme based on the five pillars of the Back to Basics programme is being implemented”. The first phase will start from 5 September 2016. Councillors will be able to earn a National Certificate in Municipal Governance over the three-year period.
New laws to help protect grant beneficiaries The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has urged social grant beneficiaries to make alternative arrangements with financial service providers on how premiums will be paid going forward. This follows the amendments of the regulations of the Social Assistance Act of 2004 this year, where some social grant beneficiaries will have to make alternative arrangements regarding the payment of funeral insurance premiums. SASSA National spokesperson Kgomoco Diseko said that amending these regulations was a necessary and responsible step taken by SASSA and the Social Development Department in order to protect vulnerable beneficiaries against unscrupulous financial service providers. “The law allows for only a maximum of 10% of the grant value to be deducted and requires that SASSA should be informed whenever a beneficiary enters into a contract with a funeral insurance service provider. “In some cases, SASSA is not involved and this results in unauthorised deductions which come as a surprise to the beneficiary when the next payment cycle comes. This happens in cases where beneficiaries are approached and made to sign agreements that are not explained to them,” said Diseko. Deduction on children’s grant Beneficiaries with direct deductions for a funeral insurance/scheme from child grants will be discontinued in December 2016. “All child grant beneficiaries have been advised to make alternative payment arrangements with their financial service providers on how premiums will be paid from December 2016 onwards,” said Diseko. All affected beneficiaries are urged to make alternative arrangements with financial service providers on how premiums will be paid going forward. “If you are receiving a grant for older persons, war veterans or a permanent disability grant and would like to have the premiums for your funeral policy/scheme deducted directly from your grant, please visit the nearest SASSA office to give permission in writing and in person for these deductions to go through.

Development is the key FC Kodi White Doves’ Players Exposure Programme gives young players hope to become big soccer stars. This programme started in August 2013 and today it has worked wonders by promoting two players to PSL. Mr Tim Sukazi who manages 80% of PSL and NFD players was brought to assess the young promising players in the programme on Saturday last week. This happened at Jane Furse Artificial Pitch where White Doves was involved in two friendly matches vs Shining Stars and Drillers to allow Mr Sukazi to do assessments of the players. At least 6 players were identified during the session and they’re listed for both NFD and PSL clubs in the near future. “Well done boys and keep
up the good work. It is not magic to get up. No, it’s the amount of effort you put down the right way to the right direction with the right leadership. I will try get as many youngsters up there as possible,” said Mr Kodi. “I am also waiting to get 19-year old Koketso Seloi to the Leopards soon after he impressed on a two week stay. With Mr Sukazi we are going far as a team and in development. Proper development is the key to success” Kodi added. (Photograph and information: Mr Kodi Senyane).
