Nkwe rescued?
Nkwe Platinum, a platinum mine development company that is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, said this week the the African Minerals Exploration and Development Fund (AMED), Genorah Resources (Nkwes Black emopowerment shareholder) and Nkwe Platinum are finalising a transaction whereby Nkwe will be recapitalised. At the moment Nkwe shares are in a trading halt on the Australian Stock Exchange. Nkwe says in an anoouncement the final details of the deal are still being concluded, the end goal of the transaction will see AMED become a significant shareholder in Genorah and, through that position, enable Genorah to recapitalise Nkwe. In terms of the transaction a working capital facility of $4.5 million has been approved. The facility is secured against Genorahs shareholding in Nkwe and will be provided to Nkwe through the existing intercompany loan arrangements. The facility will provide Nkwe with working capital funding whilst AMED, Genorah and Nkwe finalise the larger strategic partnership transaction. The intention is to conclude the draw down of the facility and resume trading on ASX next week commencing 4 February 2013 according to an announcement by the company stating further that If for whatever reason the drawdown is not concluded alternative financing arrangements are being negotiated and upon finalisation, they will form the basis of a request to ASX for resumption of trading in the Companys shares. Nkwe already concluded a bankable feasability for their Garatau project near Burgersfort and will need apart from the recapitalisation funds a large investment to enable the development of a profitable mine. Meanwhile some minority shareholders in Genorah Resources (which has a 60 percent stake in Nkwe) say they are not all for the deal with AMED (a Hong Kong investment entity registered in Cyprus). The minority shareholders argue that AMED outmanoeuvred Genorah entirely, creating a situation where the fund would effectively take control of Genorah (and, through it, Nkwe), and if allowed to proceed, will deny Nkwe access to the capital markets to raise money and stop the entire project. Nkwe Managing Director, Maredi Mphahlele, this week largely dismissed the concerns and actions of the minorities. It is not an issue of control as is being spun, he said. There are obviously people who are unhappy, but the deal is not under threat. In fact, he said, it was effectively done, and shareholders would be informed about the terms of the recapitalisation, which has been misunderstood, through normal company announcements.

20 Bursaries awarded
The Limpopo Department of Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (CoGHSTA) this week met with all Senior Traditional Leaders and some headmen in Polokwane to discuss and make inputs on the Limpopo Initiation School Repeal Bill. The Bill is aimed at regulating the holding of initiation schools, provide for the prohibition against abduction, provide for a consent or permission for the performance of initiation operations and also provides for the implementation and monitoring of health and hygiene standards. Resolutions taken with regard to the Bill include that if a person is not a graduate and caught snooping around at the initiation school, he will be detained. If you are under age, the school will consult with your parents and Senior Traditional Leader concerned for permission. Admission fees will be regulated and issued by the MEC for CoGHSTA in consultation with Senior Traditional Leaders. Local Houses must establish committees to assist the Provincial House in recommending applications for initiation schools, which must be approved or disapproved by the Department. People above 21-years of age can attend initiation schools without their parents or guardians consent. Senior Traditional Leaders are not allowed to operate initiation schools in other Senior Traditional Leaders areas of jurisdiction. The closing date for applications of Limpopo Initiation School Permits is on the 28 February 2013. All applications must be submitted to all five districts in the province. CoGHSTA will later conduct an initiation school compulsory workshop for all Senior Traditional Leaders in an effort to reduce the mortality rate and other related matters.
Greater Tubatse Municipality awarded 20 bursaries to qualifying students on Friday, 25 of January 2013. The awarding of the bursaries was done by the Mayor Cllr Noksi Josias Mahlake, Municipal Manager Mr Lemon Phala, Chief Whip Cllr Samson Nkosi and Executive Committee Members. The bursaries are aimed at giving financial assistance to students who cannot afford tertiary fees. In his opening remarks Mayor Mahlake said that when the schools reopened on the 9 January, we visited schools that performed well and those who did badly. We want to salute Gobetse Secondary School in Ngwaabe for being the best performing school In Greater Tubatse by obtaining 97,3 % overall. We congratulate the school management, educators, parents and learners for working together and their hard work has paid off. He also said that at times, it becomes frustrating to those who have passed but are unable to proceed with studies due to financial constraints. That is why we took a decision to continue with the Mayoral bursary scheme to assist those who want to further their studies and in October last year, advertisements were placed in the local media inviting
learners to apply for this financial assistance. He further emphasized that your achievements makes us proud to see you being the best in your respective communities. Government has prioritised education as one of the 5 areas of development and as the local sphere of government we are also committed to see improvements in the education of the youth concluded the Mayor. 20 students will now be able to study at different universities around Limpopo and Gauteng. The total amount of the financial assistance is R300 000, which was broken into two different amounts of R10 000 and R20 000. The Municipality only assisted first year students with R20 000 which covers their registration, tutorial fees and accommodation whereas second and third year students are being assisted with R10 000 each. 12 Students are in their first year, while 5 students are in their second year and 3 students doing their last year. The Municipality says it tried its utmost best to assist as many students as it could but the budget didnt allow to do more than that.

Mr Matome Moloto said: I hope we win because we are hosting the games. It would be sad if we get knocked out. So far weve played well. We did not expect them to reach the quarter finals. The score on Sunday: Bafana 1 and 0 for Mali. Ill be watching it at home.
Mnr Tyran Wallace s: Nee, ek is nie n sokker ondersteuner nie, so ek gaan nie kyk nie. Ek gee nie eintlik om wie wen nie.
Mr Sam Maphanga said: We are going to win. Bafana is going well now. At first there was a lack of communication but now there is a good combination from the defenders to the midfielder, striker and goalkeeper. We are going to repeat the history of 1996 because it is in our Sourh African soil. Ill be watching the game at home.
Ms Refilwe Ivy Komane said: I think Bafana is going to do it. The score will be 2-0. Ill be watching at home. I wish them good luck. Mr Richard Neo said: Bafana is definitely going to win the game. The score: 2-1. Ill be watching at my home on the TV. They should just defend. That is their weakness. Theyve improved on scoring, now they should defend. Left: Mr Danil Makua (Makua Marathon) said: Bafana will win 2-0. They must play with a good gameplan. All the people must support them.
Mr Thomas Mupira said: Bafana Bafana will definitely win. The team is getting stronger and stronger. We rally behind you boys. Go Bafana go. The score: Bafana 2, Mali 1.
Mnr Dirk Winterbach s: Nee, ek stel nie belang in sokker nie so ek gaan nie die wedstryd kyk nie. Ek volg soms van die groot internasionale wedstryde. Mag die beste span wen en as dit Suid Afrika is, is dit n bonus.
Mnr. Kobus de Beer s: Ja, ek gaan op die TV kyk. Ek is n Pirates, Cheetahs en Bafana Bafana-man. Bafana gaan wen. Die telling sal 3-1 wees. Hulle moet net hul beste gee want fikser kan hulle nie wees nie.
Mr Ismael Arbee said: I think theyll win that game. Ill be watching on the TV. The score: 1-0. They must make proper passes and work the ball to the goals. With him are: Bilaal, Yusha, Zahra and Laibah.
Mnr. Danil Kgotle (middel) s: Daar is niemand wat seker is wie sal wen nie. Ek het twee harte. Die een s ek glo nie Bafana kan wen nie en die ander ene s miskien, miskien kan hulle wen. Ek wens hulle baie sterkte toe. Hulle moet tot by die finals gaan. Ons soek daai cup! Mr Samuel Tjatji (left) said: We are looking for a win to repeat the history of 1996. With them is Mr Steve Juu Juu.
Mr Montoane Kgwete said: Bafana is going to win 2-1. I believe and I trust. Im going to watch it from my room. Im going to sit, relax and have the complete joy. If I was to have a word with the coach Id say that he should not change the winning combination of the last game.

Mnr. Mike Roetz (links) s: Ons gaan die game by my huis kyk. Die telling sal Bafana 1 en Mali 0 wees. Ons is een van die sterkste ekonomie in Afrika, so ons behoort ook een van die sterkste sokkerspanne te h. Dis jammer dat ons nie dieselfde opgewondenheid oor Bafana sien as in 2010 met die Wreldbeker nie. Michael Roetz (regs) s: Die telling gaan 2-1 in Bafana se guns wees. Ek gaan by Castle House, The Palace kyk.
Mr Thomas Motswiane and Mr Thabiso Maleka said: We are going to watch the game. Bafana will win 2-1. We will be watching it with friends.
Mr Goodman Goloda said: I think Bafana will win. They play a different ball game to the last ones weve seen. Tokelo Rantie and Thuso Phala have lots of speed and Dean Furman is consistent in the middlefield. Theyll be more focussed this time. Igesund is a good motivator. Theyll confuse Mali.
Mr Frans Malese said: Mali will win. Ill be watching it on the TV. Score: Mali 2 - Bafana 1.
Mr Abram Mohlala said: Well win 2-1. I will be at home watching on the TV. Bafana Bafana must play hard so that we can win the cup.
Mr Steve Mosoma said: It is going to be a draw. Ill be watching the game at home on the television. If they can just strengthen the middlefield I hope we can get better results.
Left: Mr Anthony Mashego said: I think South Africa will win the game, but through penalties. They way they are playing now is better from how they were playing before. There is a lack of communication in the backline between Bongani Khumalo and Siyabonga Sangweni. Our middlefield is superb. If we start with Lehlohonolo Majoro, May Mahlango and Bernard Parker, maybe we can get the first goal. It will be either Bafana 1, Mali 0 or a draw.
Mr Kuziva Nyamurowa and Mr Tumai Mago said: It will be a tough game, but Mali will not be a problem. It will be at least 2-0 for Bafana. Well watch it at the pub while we are drinking. The guys must just keep the fire burning. They are like a diesel engine. When it heats up it performs. Right: Mr Abraham Mkhatshwa said: Ill be at Manoke Village watching with friends. It will be a tough one, but Bafana will make it happen. Score: Bafana 1, Mali 0. They must just work hard because the nation is behind them. Im player No 12!.
Left: Mr Khupa Mangwana said: Bafana is going to win. Score: 3-0. If Igesund can put Majoro and Parker at front they will be OK. I will watch with friends.

Die volgende skietdag is op 9 Februarie 2013 by Ecsal Lodge. (Oorkant Dwarsrivier Myn, op die pad tussen Steelpoort en Lydenburg). Met die skietdag daar sal daar Ghonge geskiet word van 30 tot 700m en die Bosboktak se bestuur beloof dat die ervaring vir baie n eye opener sal wees. Navrae oor die dag kan aan Johan Grimbeek gerig word by 082 378 0698. Die tak vergader op 6 Februarie om 18:00 by PLM Boerdery. Voornemende lede kan gerus vir JB Willers kontak by 082 820 1748.
