Draft By-laws
discussed Consultation meetings to discuss draft By-
laws concerning emergency services and
cemeteries and crematoria took place
throughout Greater Sekhukhune District
Municipality this week.
In Burgersfort the public had the
opportunity to attend the meeting in the
Council Chamber at Greater Tubatse
Municipality, where greater Tubatse
Municipality mayor, Ralepane Mamekoa,
welcomed the public and officially opened
proceedings (photograph left).
The importance of the draft By-laws
soon became clear as it not only stipulate
the responsibilities and powers of the
relevant authorities, but also that of the
residents of the area.
Especially the Emergency Services By-
laws can have a significant effect on
bussines in the area as it stipulates
extensive rules and regulations around
various matters, such as fire protection
requirements for premises, emergency
evacuation plans, access for fire fighting
and rescue purposes, upkeep and
maintenance of fire-fighting equipment
and certificates of compliance for all public
buildings.
A large part of these draft By-laws are
dedicated to dangerous goods, the handling
and storage thereof, as well as
requirements for storerooms.
The registration of spray-painting
rooms as well is specifications for the
construction and design of spray-painting
rooms are also included in the document.
In the draft By-laws contraventions and
penalties are also stipulated, clearly
stipulating what constitute offences and
what not.
The By-laws is not at the promulgation
stage just yet.
An official explained that all the inoput
from all the public consultation sessions in
the district municipality will now be
studied and if neccessary, the draft By-
laws will be amended to include the
proposals by the public.
When the public’s concerns and
comments are taken into account, it will
also be done within the framework of other
national and provincial laws governing the
By-laws. After the documents have been
adjusted it will follow the the normal
administrative process before it is
promulgated.

‘Slate and
caves can be
developed’
This group of men from Makopung village near
Leboeng mine slate on the mountains for their
own pocket.
The location of the ‘mine’ is very scenic, but the
road to it is very bad and transport of the slate is a
problem. At the moment the only mining
equipment in use at the site is picks. Slate is sold
by the bakkie-load or transported with donkeys to
the tarred road, about 10 kilometres from the
mine.
There are also a lot of caves in the vicinity where
caving groups from elsewhere in the country come
caving from time to time. Mr Prince Makhubedu,
speaking for the group and himself, says they
have contacted the government about the slate
mining and visits from officials have taken place,
but nothing happened since then. “We need to let
people know that this area, with the abundance of
slate, does have economic potential, but we need
assistance to develop the area”. With regard to
the caves, Mr Makhubedu, who acts as a quide,
already registered an eco-tourism company.
“People also do not know that this is an area with
large eco-tourism potential, as with the slate, we
need the authorities to take note so that they can
assist us in starting economic developpment in the
area”, he said.

Grocery
shop gutted
This grocery shop at Ga-Mashamothane was gutted last week
after a fire started in the shop after it was closed for the night.
Platinum Gazette was suprised last week Friday at about 19:00
when a panicked resident phoned the newspaper, shouting over
the phone that the shop was burning and that they do not know
wehere to get hold of the Fire Brigade.
The newspaper immediately contacted the Fire Brigade who
answered the telephone in record time, took the telephone
number of the caller, confirmed the emergency and sped to the
scene barely a couple of minutes after the caller first called the
newspaper. Alas, as the shop is quite a distance from town, they
could not stop the interior and the goods in the shop from almost
burning out completely.
The owner of the shop, Mr Imran Ahmed said the cause of
the fire was an electrical fault. The shop was closed when the
fire started. Luckily nobody was inside the shop when the fire
started. He said the shop will open for business again within the
next week.
The toll free number of the Fire Brigade and
Ambulance is 0800 330 022.

ECM donate trees

Arbor Week 2009 were a very special time at Eastern Chrome Mines.
Charles Mathoma (Environmental Specialist) and Sanet Booysen (Environmental
Practitioner) went out and addressed six of the local schools and a community during
this time with regards to the importance of trees in the environment and for human
beings.
A total of more than 1200 community members and students from our local schools
were addressed. 120 common species trees were planted and 10 rare species. Trees
were planted at the schools, community and in the villages and offices for rehabilitation
purposes. It was an honor for both Charles and Sanet to plant one of the rare Boabab
trees (Kremetart). One of the features of a Kremetart is that it only grow one meter in
every seven years.
Something from the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry: “The Department
values trees as its benefits include filtration and absorption of air pollutants, reduced
storm water run off and generally it impacts on the quality of life. Trees help to
maintain low levels of carbon dioxide, thereby reducing the greenhouse effect, which
threatens to make the earth uncomfortably warm, therefore minimizes global warming.
Nature’s air conditioners have been providing us with clean air for years. Trees, one of
the most effective oxygen producers, in actual fact one tree offers four people oxygen to
breathe for an entire year.
The realization of the value of trees becomes so much more tangible once it is
brought down to numbers. By planting a tree, we are offering our children and
children’s children a better quality of life. Trees have got a lifespan of more than 100
years; therefore a lifetime investment will be made if we plant a tree today.” Samancor
Eastern Chrome Mines would like to thank all their suppliers and service providers for
their contribution to make the awareness campaign a success.

Mangabane Primary School was

visited last week Friday (left and
above) where constable Dan Matsimbi
of the Police’s social crime prevention
unit in Burgersfort planted a tree. In

Burger bou is groot pret
OK Grocer Burgersfort bied vir die eerste
keer die OK Burgerkompetisie aan.
Die kompetisie is vir die hele gesin of
sommer as ‘n lekker spanbou vir ‘n
werksgroep.
Daar is verskillende kategorieë waarin
daar ingeskryf kan word. Persone kan kies
om self ‘n ‘pattie’ te maak volgens hul eie
resep of hulle kan van die groot
verskeidenheid ‘patties’ op die OK
winkelrak gebruik maak.
Die kompetisie vind op Saterdag 3 Oktober
voor die OK Minimark plaas en almal is
uitgenooi om die dag te kom geniet.
Daar sal baie vir die kinders wees om te
doen met ‘n stoeigeveg tussen Buddy, die
OK gelukbringer en die Orosman as een
van die dag se vermaaklikhede. Gesigverf,
paintball, ‘n vlooimark met ‘n

Bouwerk aan die nuwe munisipale geboue vorder fluks. Die gebou wat reeds die

om al die verskillende departemente van die munisipaliteit te kan huisves. Die
nuwe gebou word agter die Morone Sentrum teen die koppie opgerig.

word beplan.
Die kompetisie word nie sonder ‘n doel
gehou nie. Elke deelnemer moet 20 burgers
maak waarvan 19 verkoop sal word.
Hierdie geld sal na ‘n plaaslike
liefdadigheidsorganisasie gaan.
Die kategorieë waarin ingeskryf kan word
is: Beste burger volgens smaak, Beste
burger volgens voorkoms, Beste burger
stalletjie en spangees. Daar kan ook ook in
al drie die kategorieë ingeskryf word.
Dit beteken dat selfs al sou jy nie self ‘n
‘pattie’ maak nie, maar ‘n gekoopte een
gebruik, jy steeds ‘n kans staan om te wen
in die voorkoms en spangees kategorieë.
‘n Groot verskeidenheid pryse is op die
spel. Dit sluit onder andere die volgende in:
Spangees

‘n Cadac gasbraaier en gasbottel, ‘n

vleis geskenkpak, Nokia selfone,
brandstofbewyse, OK geskenkbewyse,
geskenkpakkies van Sasko, Clover, Refresh

Die idee is dat deelnemers nie net aan die
vleisgedeelte van die burger aandag gee
nie, maar ook aan die slaai bv. pynappel of Pryse
blaarslaai, kaas, sous en die broodrolletjie
wat gebruik word. Die hele eindproduk
word beoordeel.
Daar word beplan om hierdie kompetisie op
‘n jaarlikse basis aan te bied en later dalk
selfs op ‘n streeksvlak aan te bied.

Besighede kan mekaar uitdaag en families
kan kom kuier en saam pret hê met hierdie

Can having a braai unify

24 September was not only National
Heritage Day, but also National Braai
Day.
This initiative was started as a way to try
and unify all South Africans across
cultural, language and racial barriers.
Braai is a truly South African word for the
English or American BBQ. According to
the organisers of National Braai Day, all
South Africans enjoy a braai and the day
even has the support of famous South
Africans such as nobel prize winner arch
bishop Desmond Tutu and SA cricketer
Greame Smith.
We asked readers whether they think that
braai is a way to unify a nation and
whether they support the National Braai
Day initiative.

Maatlopo still
going strong
On Saturday 19 September Maatlopo United FC played against Mooihoek Real Touch at
the Brazil grounds.
This was the second time Maatlopo faced Mooihoek Real Touch. The previous encouter
between the two teams was during the Nedbank Regional play-offs. Back then Maatlopo
walked away as the best team beating Mooihoek Real Touch 4-0.
Lupa Malatjie scored the first goal for Maatlopo on Saturday. This goal was made
possible through a pass from Thapelo Moropane in the 15th minute of the game. After 20
minutes of play Lupa scored again. By half time the score was still 2-0 in favour of
Maatlopo United.
In the second half Mooihoek Real Touch fought back, but Maatlopo once again managed
to get past the defenders and Taripo Matsemela scored the team’s third goal through
good use of a corner kick.
Lupa Malatjie scored a third time in the 70th minute of the game to set the scoreboard at
4-0.
The team played against Phasha City Rocks yesterday. By the time of going to press the
game had not yet taken place. On Saturday 26 September they will take on Dudu Stars
at the Moroke Stadium. The game will start at 15:00.
“We are very happy about the support we’ve received, especially from the spectators,”
said Mr Jimmy Makola, PRO of the team.

Veteran marathon runner, Daniel
“Marathon” Makua will be running his
209th race on 3 October. He will
participate in the Nedbank half
marathon race in Polokwane.
Daniel has been running marathons
and half marathons for the last 21
years. He is currently a member of the
Greater Tubatse Marathon Club. His
last race was at Monsterlus when he
participated in the Greater
Sekhukhune District Municipality’s
Mayoral Marathon. Here he finished in
a time of 1:20 and received a silver
medal.
Daniel who spends many hours running
on the roads in the area is very
concerned about the road safety of
people in the area. “Pedestrians, but not
only pedestrians get killed. People must
remember that speed kills, that they
should not drink and drive or talk on
their cell phones when driving.
Maatlopo United management: Collins Mashabela (assistant Pedestrians should always look before
coach), Morgan Mammila (managing director), Matome Makgopa crossing a street,” he adds. He also
(team manager),Charles Manaka (coach), Sydney Makoka (CEO) thanked his supporters and urged them
and Jimmy Makola (PRO). to be careful on the roads this holiday.

Woman’s Revenge in the

middle of all the action This all girl team has already made it’s mark in the league
although it is only their first year playing action cricket
together. For six of the girls this season is the first ever
playing action cricket.
They are not afraid to take on all male teams and is so far the
top women’s team in the competition.
They played four games to date. The one game was against
Sugar and Spice (another all girl team). Woman’s Revenge
won. One team could not honour their appointed match date
and forwarded points.
The one was played against Blixems and the other against
Xstrata Lions. Both these teams are all male teams.
The women however fought hard and lost the game against
Blixems with 23 runs and the one against Xstrata Lions with
17 runs.
“Every game we play we get better and better,” said Sanet
Booysen, who is very proud of her team.
All the team members are either working for or is family of
employees of Eastern Chrome Mines or their suppliers.
Action cricket games are played every Tuesday and Thursday
at the Tubatse Chrome Club.

Six of the girls have

never played action
cricket before

Bianca Wirths, Nadine (Sophie) Fourie, Eulandi Language,
Mariska Stickling, Izelle van Staden, Sanet Booysen
(Captain) and Wilma Calvert. Absent: Lelanie Boshof and
Janine Briedenhann.
