GTM Mayor recalled “Let me get you something to eat or to drink” had been the invitation from Councillor Nkosi Josias Mahlake when the Platinum Gazette’s editor bumped into him one evening at a local restaurant before the last local government elections. “I am going to be the new mayor and I plan a lot of projects to develop Greater Tubstse” he said then. And so it was, but earlier this week the Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) of the ANC in Limpopo announced that Mayor Mahlake, amongst several other mayors, had been recalled by the party. Former Mayor Mahlake’s recall was a long time coming, with those in the know whispering into the newspapers ear just before the recent national and provincial elections that the mayor’s days are numbered, alleging that he has been summoned to Polokwane and told to resign. The newspaper’s effort to get it confirmed did not produce facts, so we never published anything at that stage. Mr Mahlake also did not answer his phone. On election day the former mayor was present at a voting station the newspaper visited at Leboeng and we discussed the rumours with him. “I defeated them and I am in the process to rectify whatever problems there are,” he said. Alas, it seems that his political party only waited for the dust of the election to settle before the axe fell. Concrete reasons for the former mayor’s demise was not furnished, but clues are revealed in Limpopo Premier, Stanley Chupu Mathabata’s speech to the PEC on 21 June just before the mayors were recalled. He said “The one issue that we must continue to deal with both at provincial and local government level is the problem and/or perception of corruption which we inherited from the previous administration which led to five(5) departments being placed under administration. Our intervention within local government will also include restructuring of some of the municipalities where we believe such intervention will enhance service delivery. In this respect, as this leadership we will refuse to be blackmailed by individuals who have grown bigger than the ANC and as such, when they deliver their budget speeches in their municipalities, they just decide to attack the ANC out of the blue. These are individuals who did not question the wisdom of the ANC when they were deployed into the positions that they are holding. Now that are being redeployed, they are doing that. It must be stated here and now that the ANC does not owe anybody any position in government. All its deployees should thank the movement for having given them an opportunity to serve our people and they should do so with humility. The ANC can deploy and redeploy its cadres as it deems fit”. He also sated that “Mao Tse-tung in his Selected Works on The Role of the Chinese Communist Party once attested that “We must affirm anew the discipline of the Party, namely: a) The individual is subordinate to the organization; b)The minority is subordinate to the majority; c) The lower level is subordinate to the higher level; and d) The entire membership is subordinate to the Central Committee. Whoever violates these articles of discipline disrupts the Party unity”. It is in this context that at this PEC we wish to state that this time around, wrong practices within the movement will not be launched from Limpopo”. So, what now? Apparently the PEC will decide who the new mayors, also in Greater Tubatse Municipality, will be and after their decision, will announce how the party lists will be adjusted. In the meantime we have asked readers what they think of the issue – on pages 6 and 7.
On a lighter note - loads of fun was to be had at Tubatse Build It’s day of entertainment and lucky draws that took place on Saturday. This colourful character reminded of the caterpillar in Lewis Carrol’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland who told Alice “... at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.” (Chapter 5)

The agreement The protracted months long strike in mainly the Rustenburg area of the platinum industry is over after Anglo American Platinum Limited announced that it had signed a 3-year wage agreement with the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU), the terms of which take effect retrospectively, from 1 July 2013. The wage agreement includes acoordinbg to Anglo American Platiunum: An annual increase of R1,000 per month in basic pay for A and B-band employees in years 1 and 2 and R950 per month in year 3 Increases in basic pay of 8% per annum for C and D1 for years 1 and 2 and 7.5% for year 3. Living-out allowances and Housing rent subsidies for employees will increase in line with CPI in year 1 and remain flat in years 2 and 3 Housing allowance will increase by 8% in year 1 and remain flat in years 2 and 3; and Other allowances will increase in line with salary increases in year 1 and there will be no further increases in years 2 and 3. This is in order to fund the increase agreed to in basic pay. The company says the principles that underpin the agreement seek to achieve a sustainable future for Anglo American Platinum for the benefit of all stakeholders and to provide employees with the most competitive increase in the current financial circumstances. The agreement is expected to increase the total labour cost-to-company by 10.5% in year 1; 7.7% in year 2 and 7.1% in year 3 or 8.4% on average over the 3 year period. The company has also undertaken to assist returning employees in the first month with the provision of food parcels, health supplements, transport relief and the cash payment of back pay within 7 days for the period they were not on strike as the principle of “no-work no-pay’ applied for the duration of the strike. Anglo American Platinum will further assist employees in managing their indebtedness and personal finances by providing legal aid and personal financial training to ensure they take a more robust approach to their personal finances. Furthermore, it has been agreed that no strikes will be undertaken, related to any of the items covered by the wage agreement, for the three year duration of the agreement. As part of the Company’s overall cultural transformation that had already commenced, a process of building bridges between management and employees will be the first step in ensuring a safe return to work. The safe return to work programme also addresses health and safety protocols and refresher training on general mine operations. Once operations are in a position to start up safely, production ramp-up will begin. It is expected that steady state production will be achieved in the last quarter 2014.
Limpopo to host International Co-operatives Day celebrations The newly-established Department of Small Business Development (DSBD) together with the Limpopo Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (LEDET) and the South African National Apex Co-operative (SANACO) will host the International Co-operatives Day celebrations under the theme Cooperative Enterprises Achieve Sustainable Development for All. The event will take place in Polokwane on Saturday, 5 July 2014. The Minister of Small Business Development, Ms Lindiwe Zulu says the objective of the International Co-operatives Day celebrations is to increase public awareness about co-operatives and their contributions to socio-economic development of communities in countries all over the world. According to Zulu, this year’s theme seeks to encourage the growth and the establishment of cooperatives all over the world, including encouraging communities, government and individuals to recognise the crucial role co-operatives can play to achieve the Millennium Development Goals as far as job creation and poverty alleviation are concerned. LEDET MEC Mr Seaparo Sekoati says the more than 1 500 co-operatives members from 700 co-operative
enterprises who will descend on Polokwane from all over the country to celebrate the International Co-operatives Day will provide a perfect platform for the country to take stock of the road that has been travelled in an effort to put cooperatives in the mainstream of the country’s economy. “The celebrations will also highlight the positive role co-operatives play in providing a network of opportunities among themselves and between them and members of the public aspiring to be co-operatives. With the support of the Small Enterprise Development Agency (Seda) we are glad that the seventy five cooperatives from Limpopo and other provinces of the country who will be given a chance to exhibit their products and services during the celebrations will prominently showcase on a national platform what the country and in particular the Limpopo province has done to enhance the capacity, competitiveness and sustainability of our co-operatives,” says MEC Sekoati. SANACO President Mr Lawrence Bale says co-operatives can be a significant catalyst to economic transformation and help South Africans to realise the full benefits of democracy.

A new mayor for Greater Tubatse On Tuesday this week the ANC in Limpopo announced that they are recalling four mayors. Greater Tubatse Municipality’s mayor, Cllr. Josias Nkosi Mahlake was one of those who were recalled. Some media reports this week stated they will be redeployed. One of the reasons given for the change is the province’s target to improve service delivery. Platinum Gazette asked readers whether they heard about the mayors’ recall and what they think about the situation.
Did you know? Cllr. Mahlake used to be an educator before going into politics full time.
Mr Lawrence Kgoete said: “Yes, I heard about it. I think it is the right time to change mayors. Look at this town! Things are not going well – our roads have potholes all over! I think the new mayor when appointed will make a difference. He or she must learn from the previous one’s mistakes”.
Mr Aaron Maredi said: “Yes, I’ve heard that they recalled him. This will not make a difference to service delivery. Changing mayors is not the solution. There are many things happening in town and they are not taking any steps to stop it. Eg. crime at the robots to the KFC. Every week you hear about stock being taken from the back of a bakkie. The mayors just occupy a position, but don’t make any difference”.
Mr Council Moyo said: “Ja, ja, ja I’ve heard about that. The new mayor will have to see that things get done. There are a lot of potholes in this town. Eish! It’s a disaster!”
Left: Mr Patson Sekgobela said: “No, I’ve not heard. I hope the new one will bring better services because he or she was sent to do so. This is a message to all government workers – the ANC is not here to play games, but to deliver the services the people deserve. They’ll recall the new one too if he or she fails to deliver”.
Mr Samuel Dlamini said: “Ja, I saw on the news that he is gone. If the new one brings change for the better, he or she will do well as mayor. They must learn from this one’s mistakes”.
Mr Samuel Molobela (also known as DJ Sammy at Tubatse FM) said: “Yes, I’ve heard. It is good. The ousted one was not a good leader. Look at what happened with the Red Ants coming to destroy hawker shelters. He said that he did not know about it. How can that be? The new mayor must be available to the people and listen to the councillors”.
Right: Mr Gerald Dikgale said: “No, I am not aware that he has been recalled. It is possible that the new one may improve service delivery, but this government is very lenient. The government have very good policies, but people don’t enforce it. Look here in Burgersfort. For months nothing is being done about the robots that are not working down there at the Mall. People just do nothing about it. We also have many potholes”.
Mnr. Pieter Carelse en me. Santie Carelse sê: “Ons het gelees wat daaroor in die media gesê word. As dit gaan oor dienslewering wat moet verbeter is dit goed dat hy gaan. Die nuwe een moet luister na die mense op straat. Dit is een ding om te kritiseer, maar gee ook krediet waar dit toekom. Ons munisipaliteit doen eintlik baie goed in ag genome die uitbreiding wat in die laaste paar jaar hier gebeur het. Ons is nou 14 jaar hier en jy kan nie glo wat het in daardie tyd verander nie. Kyk net hoe vergelyk ons munisipaliteit met dorpe soos Lydenburg”.
Mr David Legodi said: “No, I did not know he was recalled. It will be good if government aims to give better service delivery. Lots of people around Burgersfort are struggling with jobs, maybe this new mayor can help with that”.

Municipality - what do you think?
Ms. Nancy Seganye and Mr Martin Mabasa said: “Yes, we’ve heard about it. The new mayor will do better than the previous one because he or she will learn from this one’s mistakes. That person will pull up his or her socks”.
Mr Rudy Choshane said: “No, I’ve not heard about it. I don’t think it will make a difference to get a new mayor. Where there is money, there is crime. The people of Tubatse will suffer until they die. The leadership chow the money. I think the ANC must have the national government and the other parties must rule the local government. Maybe it will be better then”.
Mnr. Bennie Wheeler sê: “Ek dink dis goed. Dalk sal ons paaie beter raak. Ek het nie geweet die vorige ene is weg nie, maar dalk sal die nuwe burgemeester sorg vir ‘n skoner dorp. Dalk is nuwe bloed goed. Mense raak te gemaklik”.
Mr Peter Masethe said: “Yes, obviously I’ve heard Mr David Matemane said: “I think it is for political reasons about it. It is good for the people of Tubatse. When that he has been recalled. I heard that they are being you are mayor you must reveal yourself to the people. recalled because of the this new party – the EFF. I hope This recalled one always sent other people to receive the new mayor brings better service delivery. We are memorandums at protest marches. The people looking forward to that. We need someone skilled who wanted him, but he was never available. Perhaps if he can make people deliver regardless of all the politics”. made more time for the people, there would have been less protests”. Left: Mr Siyabonga Vayeke said: “I heard some stories about it. I think sometimes a change is good. Knowing all the difficulties the previous one experienced, a change may be good”.
Mnr. Tiaan Buitendag en Me. Nicolene Buitendag sê: “Nee, dit is die eerste wat ons daarvan hoor. Ons hoop die nuwe een doen iets aan die paaie!”
Right: Mr Doctor Malepe said: “No, I’ve not heard about it. It is so important to give service delivery. We are in need of it. The new mayor will have to perform”.
