ASA Metals’ main objective is to develop the quality of education for learners as a long term investment in order to create a pool where to draw skilled labour from in the future, thus their intension to fund schools for educational development. Burgersfort remains one of ASA Metals’ important labour sending areas, with a remarkable number of employees living there. The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR)M statement to the mines recommends that areas from where employees are coming and do contribute to the company’s production, need to be developed even if it is outside the radius that the company covers in terms of Social Development initiatives. Therefore the company decided to donate an amount of R200 000 to Laerskool Burgersfort. According to the Principal, Mr Coert Erasmus, this money will be utilised towards the completion of new classrooms which are much needed to accommodate the huge demand of new learners.

Your opinion about load shedding Eskom this week again warned South Africans that load shedding may be necessary as the country is vulnerable to faults in the electrical supply system, especially during times of extra load. They called on customers to switch off geysers, air conditioners, pool pumps and all non-essential items during the day. Eskom do load shedding (switching off supply to certain areas for a few hours at a time) in different stages. Stage 1 allows for up to 1000MW of the national load to be cut, stage 2 for up to 2000MW and stage 3 for up to 4000MW. On Tuesday this week Eskom started with stage 1 cuts but later escalated it to stage 2. Platinum Gazette asked readers if they’ve experienced any recent load shedding and how they cope with this.

Mr. Johannes Riba said: “I’ve experienced it where I stay. It is not good. I have extra lights that we charge and use when the lights go out. We save electricity by switching almost everything off”.

Mr. Thabang Skhonza, Ms. Alonia Machubeng and Mr. Rollen Mashego said: “We don’t have back-up plans for when the electricity goes out. When it comes to where we work. We lose customers because of load shedding. Government must really do something. Away with load shedding! We try to save by switching off the geyser in the day. We do our part to save electricity”.

Mr. Moses Maile said: “When there is no electricity we use paraffin, coal and fire to cook. It is dangerous. We struggle without electricity. We switch off geysers and other things, so we are trying to save where we can”.

Mr. Walter Mokoena said: “Yes, sure I’ve experienced it. It is not good. If each and every user save just 10% by switching off their geysers and appliances that are not in use it will be better. I keep candles as a back up. I experienced load shedding very badly in 2008 in Johannesburg. Here it is a rural area and we can use wood and the three-legged pot to cook. I think the load shedding here has only started”.

Right: Mr. Thaba Sole said: “In the workplace it is affecting us. When there is no electricity the smoke extractors are not working. We are also losing customers while the rent is staying the same. We are losing. I’ve not really experienced it at home. When I leave in the morning I switch off my geyser – we are trying to help Eskom”.

Mnr. Thabo Mongadi sê: “Dit gebeur baie by die werk maar nie by my huis nie. As dit gebeur is die besigheid sleg en kan die mense nie werk nie”. Left: Mr. Mzamani Baloyi said: “Yes, I’ve experienced it. It is frustrating. Eskom must give us the electricity we want because we suffer damages if there is no electricity. I want them to warn me when there will be no electricity”. Right: Mr. Willy Seloane said: “The businesses are suffering. Children cannot use the computers at school so now they will fail. There is nothing we can do”.

Mnr. Gerrie van Vuuren sê: “’n Generator is seker al oplossing wat ons nou het. Dis maar moeilik. By die besigheid kan ‘n mens nie regtig spaar nie en by die huis is dit maar normale elektrisiteitsverbruik”.

Ms. Lerato Tjie, Ms. Nadia de Jager and Mr. Bongani Phephenyane said: “At work we experience it. It is hard. People come in and just start using the computer and then the power goes off. It is frustrating us a lot”. Nadia added: “At home we also experience it. It is usually off between 18:00 and 21:00 and then you have to make plans to cook. We try to save electricity. We have timers on our geysers and it only comes on at night for a few hours”.

Left: Mr. Benny Mnisi said: “It affects our working environment. Our equipment, air conditioners, fridges and other things don’t work. How will be we pay our rent if there is no business because there is no power?” Left: Mr. Victor Morena said: “There is no solution. The people of messed up Eskom so badly that there is no money now to fix anything. We prepare for this by having candles and paraffin handy”.

Mr. David Mndawu said: “It is happening. It is frustrating. It happens when you work or shower and suddenly you stand in the dark. They should do load shedding during the day and keep it on during peak hours. I am not always prepared. The shops also close when there is no electricity”. Right: Mr. Patrick Mnisi said: “It happened to me. It is just gone without them letting us know. I keep candles, but it is inconvenient. It is hot here and our fridges defrost. Government must work with Eskom to fix this”.

Mr. Frederick Lesinya and Mr. John Ngwane said: “We are not that much affected. When there is no power it is just back to the old school way of life. We try to save by unplugging things during the day – not just to help Eskom, but because electricity is so expensive”.

Ms. Joana Mnisi and Ms. Smilly Malapane said: “It affect us at our work. We lose a lot of customers. We do get notice of the power cuts, but we are still losing. There is no backup plan. When the electricity is off, the air conditioners are not working and customers don’t want to stay because it is too hot”.

Me. O’Dilhea Keulder en Me. Charmain Janse van Rensburg sê: “Load shedding in skole affekteer die kinders se akademiese prestasie. Skole wat moet water pomp sukkel omdat die pompe nie werk nie en in die hitte is dit vreeslik. In gevalle waar daar wel air conditioners in die klasse is, werk dit nie en kinders kry hitte-floutes. Dit beïnvloed oor die algemeen die kwaliteit van werk”.

Mr. Jim Nkuna said: “At the moment we don’t have much load shedding but R100’s worth of electricity only lasts 3 days. We only have the fridge, TV and lights on. It is becoming too expensive.” Regs: Mnr. Petrus Molopo sê: “Eskom en die ANC eet saam die geld wat vir die opgradering en opwekking van krag moes gaan. Die mense steel ook baie krag by Eskom en as die polisie hulle net sal vang sal dit beter gaan. Load shedding is sleg”.

Ms. Florence Makgeru said: “It’s a problem. They don’t properly notify people. There is no solution. Government must work hard to employ those who have the knowledge to fix this”. With her is Ms. Lydia Maleka.

Start 2015 on a good note Don’t just smell the money you earn before having to pay some fat cats! Go debt free this year! 2015 is already starƟng to fly by and the debt of Christmas, school fees and other obligaƟons are catching up. You can make the decision this year to start over. Make sure that you earn your money and will be able to spend it - not just pay back debt. A visit to a registered Debt Counsellor will help you to review your financial situaƟon. The Debt Counsellor will assist in drawing up a budget and to when necessary make arrangements with the people you owe money to. You will sƟll have to pay what you owe, but beƩer repayment terms can help make life easier. The budget will allow you to make payments to seƩle the debt, but also ensure that there is enough money leŌ to pay for food, transport and other necessary expenses every month. They key is that you need to have an income to pay back the money. Making sure that you use a registered Debt Counsellor is also important. You will make a single payment to the Debt Councellor every

month. They will then ensure that all your debt is being paid under the new arrangement. If you do not use a registered Debt Counsellor that person may disappear with your money without paying anyone on your behalf as arranged. You will then lose money and sƟll have all the debt. Check that you Debt Counsellor is NCR registered and start afresh in 2015.
