Mine crime combating takes shape

The Limpopo Mine Crime Combating Forum were launched last week Thursday at Nthame Primary School near Burgersfort. The event was atended by government ministers, local political leaders, general officers of the Police and representatives of mines and communities in the province. The establishment of the forum follow after the launch of siminilar structures in Rustenburg, Klerksdorp and Brits. Minister of Police, Nathi Mthethwa, also attended the launch and told guests that at the core of the government programme is the obligation to improve the quality of life of all the citizens, for them to exercise their freedoms and use their talents to help our society flourish. He said despite progress, government acknowledges that more still needs to be done to address the three resilient fault lines, which are unemployment, poverty and inequality and also recognize that in areas where citizens are unhappy on progress, through freedom of expression, the citizens have a right to express grievances through public protests. He toild the audience thaty The right to peaceful assembly forms a cornerstone of our democracy; built on the principles of collective expression in whichever form they may occur. The slow pace of development and service delivery, and the widening inequality gap has resulted in a surge in mass protests since mid-2000. Police are thus continually being called upon to respond to the manifestations of discontent with government service delivery and labour disputes. Research conducted supports this indicating a significant increase in the proportion of mass gatherings that turn violent. This then requires that the police have the ability of the police to effectively manage these situations. The provincial launch of the Limpopo Mine Crime Combating Forum (MCCF) should be understood from the above-mentioned context. It was initiated by government and falls under the auspices of the Framework Agreement for a Sustainable Mining Industry entered into by Organized Labour, Organized Business and Government. He added that this fundamental step which we undertook, collectively, was demonstrative of our commitment to: Act decisively to enforce the rule of law, maintain peace during strikes and other protests relating to labour disputes, ensure protection of life, property and the advancement of the rights of all citizens, including crime prevention measures. Ensure that law enforcement agencies act in a manner that is fair, impartial and objective and that all care is taken to protect life and property and to put in place adequate and appropriate capacity in the form of detectives and specialist prosecution teams to prosecute cases on violence, intimidation, assault and murder, prioritize the investigation and finalization of cases arising from lawlessness in and round mining areas, in appropriate designated courts and enforce municipal by-laws related to gatherings and demonstrations. He said whereas the Constitution permits unarmed and peaceful protests, the abuse of this right becomes a serious matter when participants take up arms and use unnecessary violence, which requires urgent attention and action from SAPS. This framework clearly spells out the roles and responsibilities which must be undertaken by all of us, which inevitably, means we have a collective accountability and responsibility. We want to emphasize the point that business has a crucial role to play in this regard, particularly the mine owners.

Skote klap by Apiesdoorn Village

Mnr. Hendry Joubert, sy vrou en n vriend was Maandagnag in n middernagtelike skietery met vermeende rowers betrokke. Ek het wakker geword en n sigaret gerook, vertel Hendry. Ek hoor toe n voertuig inry by ons erf. Dit was n wit Honda met n GP registrasie. Daar het drie mans uitgeklim en na my geroep omdat daar na bewering fout by een van die grensdrade was. Ons het aanvanklik gedink dit is die sekuriteit. Ek het terug geroep dat hulle maar self moet gaan kyk, ek gaan nrens. Die mans het toe gery, maar was n paar minute later weer terug. Hierdie keer het hulle weer geroep en sommer die agterdeur probeer afbreek. Hulle het die kamervenster gebreek en vir Marietjie, Hendry se vrou, probeer nader pluk toe sy waarsku dat dit nie die sekuriteitsmanne is nie. Al drie die mans het met 9mm pistole uit die voertuig geklim. Gelukkig het Marietjie kopgehou en na die kluis in die kamer langsaangegaan. Sy het dit solank oopgesluit en ons 38 special uitgehaal, vertel Hendry. Die aanvallers het vermoedelik die kluis gehoor en toe n skoot op op die huis geskiet. Die huis is van voorafvervaardigde panele gebou en die skoot het deur die buitenste muur gedring en teen n binnemuur vasgeslaan. Toe hulle daardie skoot skiet toe s ek vir Marietjie sy moet terugskiet. Sy het toe n skoot deur die venster na buite geskiet. Daardie 38 special klap darem hard. Heelwat harder as die 9mm wat hulle gebruik het. Na Marietjie se skoot het die groep vinnig in die voertuig gespring en weggejaag. Die polisie was vinnig op die toneel en daar is toe agtergekom dat daar eintlik 5 verdagtes is. Twee het by die hek na Apiesdoorn die sekuriteitswagte oorrompel. Jong, n mens skrik. Dit is net genade dat ons nie in swart body bags is vandag nie, vertel Hendry verder. Ons kan steeds nie dink hoekom iemand ons so sou wou aanval nie. Ons het tog nie vyande nie en hier is ons huis in die middel van al die huise. Hulle het dalk gedink ons het iets waardevol in die huis, maar hier is nie geld of goed om te steel nie. Hy bedank graag die polisie wat nie net vinnig gereageer het nie, maar tot by die forensiesespan wat vroeg reeds op die toneel was.

Mnr. Hendry Joubert wys waar is die aanvallers se skoot deur die huis se muur.

Complete safe stolen from farm

On Sunday night suspects broke into a farm house at Wildebeeskraal by forcing the back door open. The owner, Mr. Hendrik Leonard (age 64), was not at home. The suspects broke the firearm safe from the floor in the bedroom and conveyed it with a wheelbarrow through the field, where it was loaded onto a vehicle next to the R37 Lydenburg road. No other valuables were taken from the house. Mr. Leonard discovered the burglary when he returned to the farm on Monday morning. The Police searched the farm and surroundings, using a tracker dog, but did not find any significant leads. Inside the safe were three firearms (2xshotguns and a 9mm pistol), ammunition, R40 000 cash and personal documents. The Burgersfort Police under command of Lieut. Colonel Richard Madilonga activated its resources and followed up on leads which came to light. The vehicle which conveyed the safe from the crime scene was found on the Lydenburg road and the driver (aged 32) arrested, being in possession of more than R10 000 in cash, presumably the stolen money. In the follow-up investigation, the safe, which was grinded open, was recovered from a river near Mashising where it was dumped from the bridge. Only some personal documents were found in the broken safe. From there the police managed to trace and recover the two stolen shotguns, ammunition and a grinder from a house in Mashising and arrest a second suspect (aged 27). The arrested suspects will appeared in court inBurgersfort on Wednesday on charges of Housebreaking and Theft. They will also face additional charges for the possession of presumed stolen property and possession of firearms without license at Lydenburg Court by Thursday. The investigation continues and it is anticipated that further arrests may be effected soon. (Information: Colonel Ronnie Van Niekerk, Burgersfort SAPS)

Imbizo at Maseven
The Limpopo Provincial, district and local government, under the leadership of Premier Stanley Mathabatha, converged on the tiny village of Maseven (between De Hoop Dam and Ngwaabe and visible from the R555) last week Friday as part of the governments public participation programme. Prtemier Mathabatha was accordingly introduced to the large crowd gathered under the tent and in the shade of gazebos put up as stalls by various government agencies for the main event. This event comprised of community structures and ortganisation airing their views about service delivery and posed questions to government about pressing issues susch as unemployment, housing, water and the state of roads. Maseven is for example connected to Ngwaabe by a (poorly built) tarred road which abruptly terminates in front of a garden. No access bridges or tarred connection to the R555 exist. The answers to questions were given by various roleplayers, such as MECs. Limpopo Premier, Stanley Mathabatha and Sekhukhune District Executive Mayor, Mogobo David Magabe.

Company Values, the key to success

ASA Metals / Dilokong Chrome Mine lodged their Rehlokomelaka Kudu, (We Care More), intervention as part of their theory of constraints program to improve efficiencies at their Mine and Smelter operations. This is the flagship programme for the company in 2013 and is designed to align management and employees attitudes and behaviours with the companys values and goals. All permanent employees are scheduled to attend this programme. The Rehlokomelaka Kudu program was launched in March 2013, together with external consultants and the Gearon team at Hannah Game Lodge, with various teambuilding activities, including the high rope and team activity course, conducted over two days. The working teams take part in the various games designed to develop various areas of team cohesion and interaction. The key focus is on developing individual and team leadership skills, planning for daily activists to enable the team to reach daily targets, as well as that each team member has to take ownership for his or her responsibilities, in collaboration and support from other team members. Therefore, one of the major challenges of the day is the completion of the high rope course that also helps team members to master their fairs, and also to receive the support of their fellow team members to complete the course. Although the intervention is just approximately 50% complete, the mine has already increased some of their efficiencies on developing meters with more than 100% improvement and on face advance meters with more than 20%, compared to the same time last year. The company are looking forward to complete the first phase of the Rehlokomelaka Kudu program. The Management Team also want to thank their employees for the effort and commitment to ASA Metals and Dilokong Chrome Mine. The ASA Metals / Dilokong Chrome Mine winning team lives their values: Zero Harm, Honesty, Teamwork, Care and Ownership, on a daily basis!

Ngululu Bulk Carriers brings a solution to schools

Ngululu Bulk Carriers in Steelpoort came to the aid of 744 matric girls in the area who are about to start their examinations. It came to the attention of the company that many girls are staying away from school when they are having their monthly periods. Many cannot afford sanitary towels and make use of newspaper. This result in approximately 50 school days being lost during the year. To prevent this from happening during the matric examination the company is donating sanitary towels to more than 700 girls in the three circuits in the area. The event which was attended by Mr Fred Sinthumule, the CEO of Ngululu Bulk Carriers, the Sekhukhune Executive Mayor Clr David Magabe and the MEC for Education in Limpopo, Ms Dikeledi Magadzi took place at Winterveld Recreational Club on Saturday last week. Local councillors and other stakeholders were also present. Schools in the Driekop, Leolo and Ngwaabe circuits will benefit from the donation of sanitary towels to the girls. At the event Mr Sinthumule also announced that they will for 2014 and 2015 also be donating sanitary towels to all the girls who are in need of it in the schools forming part of the programme. The company sees this as an investment in education, but also upliftment of women in the area. MEC Magadzi praised them for their initiative and also gave the girls attending the event a message of encouragement for the coming matric examinations.

Above: Mr Sinthumule from Ngululu Bulk Carriers.

The function at Winterveld Recreational Club was attended by various stakeholders and four learners and the principal of each school. The schools each received a gift pack on stage before collecting their boxes filled with sanitary towels.

Ngululu Bulk Carriers handed the MEC for Education, Ms Dikeledi Magadzi a branded blanket.

Keeping promises
Autozone Burgersfort donates signs

Left: The page with the original article about the dumping.

Autozone Burgersfort donated No Dumping signs to the Greater Tubatse Municipality. This came after Platinum Gazette published an article in June in which a contractor used the stores vehicle to dump illegally in Oorbietjie Street. The one sign was placed close to the area where the dumping occurred and the other will still be placed somewhere by the municipality. Unfortunately people have been continuing to dump rubbish in the area and the Autozone team cleaned up much of this before planting the sign. In the photograph left Mr Lemon Levhimbi, the local store manager stands next to the sign.

Career Dress Up Day at Leboeng

The Leboeng SAPS and the grade 7 learners from Leboeng Primary School held a career dress up day. This is a national campaign and Const. Maimela Sibatana presented the different types of careers within the SAPS. The young ones were fascinated by the different fields within the police service. Some were quick to tell that they will now be able to choose a career in the SAPS that will be interesting to them. (Information: Const. Sibatana Maimela Andrew, Leboeng SAPS).

Traffic problems in Marone Street

Morone Street in Burgersfort is notorious for the potholes in the one section and then the traffic delays in another. The one section of road borders businesses who all receive deliveries by truck. Shoprite, Build It and Laduma Hardware have to get their stock off the trucks and into their business premises. Tubatse Build It has constructed a paved section next to the road where their stock yard is. This is large enough for most of their deliveries. Ms. Suzette Geldenhuys from Tubatse Build It said: People were complaining and Ive been keeping track of where our delivery trucks park. These days it is seldom one of our deliveries causing traffic problems. People should remember that there is more than one business receiving deliveries in this area. She is also encouraging the public to take photographs and contact her should they be blocked by Build It vehicles. She adds that all the Build It trucks are clearly marked with the name Build It. Contact Tubatse Build It on 013-231 7529.

Robbery suspects arrested

Three men from Gamoraba Village in Leboeng was arrested. The men aged, 21, 28 and 39 allegedly robbed a 92-year old woman of R2000. They are accused of forcefully entering the womans house during the night and demanding money while threatening to kill her. The men appeared in the Leboeng Magistrates Court on 15 October and will appear again on 22 October for a bail hearing. During the arrest the police recovered items such as DVDs, home theatre and many more. These are connected to other cases. The police also found two abandoned speakers at Gasepeke Village in a demolished building.The SAPS is appealing to the community elderly people alone at home and contact them with any information regarding criminal activities. (Information: Const. Sibatana Maimela Andrew, Leboeng SAPS).

Lede sal R20 betaal en nie-lede sal R50 betaal per inskrywing. Storm Buffel: Die Storm Buffel gaan ook geskiet word. In hierdie skietoefening word dit nageboots dat die skut na n stormende buffel skiet. Persone wat hieraan wil deelneem moet dus verkieslik met n kaliber van .375 of groter skiet. 8 x Rondtes, waarvan 3 brein en 5 hartskote moet wees sal na die buffelteiken teen tyd en op verskillende afstande geskiet word. Vir die skuts wat nie n .375 of groter kaliber besit nie, kan daar wel met n kleiner kaliber geskiet word, maar hulle sal nie die volle punte kry nie. Almal wat die tabel al geskiet het, s die adrenalien wat daarmee saamgaan is verslawend. Die tabel is n goeie maatstaf om te sien of jy reg is om groot wild te gaan jag, of as jy in so n situasie sou beland waar jy of iemand in jou groep se lewens in gevaar is, jy reg sou wees om onder druk steeds vinnige en akkurate skote te kan skiet s Johan Grimbeek van die tak. Aspirant Beroeps Jagters kry hier die geleentheid om te sien of hulle dit het om as n PH te kwalifiseer. Die groot wildjagters wat die dag bywoon kan ook hul ondervinding kom deel. Dit is R10 per lid en R20 vir nie-lede per inskrywing. Dit is belangrik om genoeg ammunisie na die dag te bring. Navrae: Johan Grimbeek, 082 378 0698 (Skiet kordineerder), JB Willers, 082 820 1748 (voorsitter) en Leon Visser, 082 808 9641 (onder-voorsitter).
