The Supreme Court of Appeal has
dismissed an appeal by the Manok Family
Trust to have a land claim allowed with
regard to the Farm Aapiesdoorndraai (No
298 KT) adjacent to Burgersfort town, where
inter alia the Motaganeng Light Industrial
Park is now in development.
Judgment in the matter between the
Manok Family Trust and amongst others,
Blue Horison Investments 10, Cranbrook
Property Projects and the Regional Land
Claims Commissioners of Limpopo and
Mpumalanga respectively, was delivered
last week Friday after the matter was heard
on 06 March this year.
The court concluded that the decision of
the Regional Land Claims Commissioner not
to publish a notice of a land claim in the
Government Gazette in 2000 on the grounds
that certain preconditions in the Restitution
of Land Rights Act precluded the registration
of a claim, was correct as the claimants laid
claim on the whole farm, while it never
owned the whole farm, but only one part of
three parts. Thus they tried to claim land
they never possessed and they were never
dispossessed of the land they owned.
This decision of the Regional Land
Claims Commissioner was reversed after
political interference in 2008 and notice of a
land claim was published. Blue Horison
Investments 10 (Pty) Ltd, a subsidiary of
Cranbrook Limited, took the matter to the
Land Claims Court and the court decided in
the companys favour in 2012, meaning that
the decision to allow a claim, was reversed.
It is against this decision that the appeal was
lodged.
The Supreme Court of Appeal pointed
out the Land Claims Court was correct in
reversing this decision as the decision was
in accordance with relevant legislation,
which stipulates that a decision by a
Regional Land Claims Commissioner not to
allow a claim on the grounds of preclusion
(and after the relevant notices had been
served) cannot be reversed, although on the
other hand a claim can be reversed later if
the conditions of preclusion can be proved.
CEO of Cranbrook Limited, Hoffman
Prinsloo, says he is relieved at the outcome
of the court case and satisfied that the
constitutionality of the issue was thoroughly
tested towards all the parties benefit.

Baffling
For at least a day you will be able to toe the line while the
potholes in Burgersforts Morone Street is still filled with
loose soil. Otherwhise the newly painted white line here and
on other streets is kind of pointless and a waste of money,
dont you agree?

Dwarsrivier Mine
On Thursday 13 June the Ngwaabe community gathered at
Ngwaabe Combined School for a Crime Awareness Campaign.
Various stakeholders and Dwarsrivier Mine as one of the main
sponsors supported the day. The purpose of the day was to create
awareness in the community about crime and the structures
available to those who are victims of abuse or domestic violence.
Speakers included representatives fromHome based Care, Victim
Empowerment Programmes (VEP), YAC, Community Policing
Forum(CPF), Ngwaabe Combined School Principal Mr Motene,
the LRC president, Mega Bus Transport, Dwarsrivier Mine,
Glencore, Booysendal Mine, Tubatse Municipality, Department
of Health, Department of Social Development and a keynote
address by Captain Seabi from the SAPS Lebowakgomo cluster.
The days programme was not only filled with speeches but also
had lively items by artists, SKfm and learners from schools and
crches in the area. The health and safety of communities
surrounding the mines is very important to the company. Mr
Themba Sibanyoni from Dwarsrivier Mine encouraged those
present to work with the SAPS to root out crime, to stay away
from drugs and rather focus on studying and creating a better
future for themselves. Residents were encouraged to make use of
the various support structures available to victims of crime and
to report criminal activities. This event was the second crime
awareness campaign with Dwarsrivier Mine as one of the main
sponsors. Earlier the year a similar event was hosted at Mashishing
in Thaba Chweu Municipality.

Protest at Ga-Motodi Clinic
On Friday 13 June the Ga-Motodi community marched to the
Naboomkoppies Clinic in protest of a new security company
at the clinic. According to the community the new company
brought their own employees from Venda and other areas,
while the local security officers previously employed at the
clinic lost their jobs. Residents were upset that local people
with the same qualifications were not taken in.
The company that received the contract is apparently underway to
negotiate with the locals so that the issue can be resolved as soon
as possible.
We just want the people of Sekhukhune to get preferance for job
opportunities in our area, especially when there are qualified people
living right next to the places of employment, the community said.

The Burgersfort SAPS gave special attention to Child Protection
Week. The Community Policing Unit held a crime awareness
campaign at Twinkle Kids. The theme of the day was Breaking the
silence on child abuse.
Schools were competing with poems and choral verses related to
fighting crime.
Constable Maluleka, Social Crime Coordinator elaborated that lots of
the children are being abused even though they are still very young.
She told the children they need to know the disadvantages of
keeping silent when they are being abused. Many girls are being
sexually abused by family members and this must be reported. We
want children to know that nobody is above the law. Even if a family
member or any other person threatens to kill them, they must report
the abuse because the police is there to protect them. They must
grow up knowing the police are their friends.

Ms Sarah Mmeya is one of the Ga-
Madiseng village residents near Riba
Cross that has not had a good year so
far. In December last year her house
collapsed during a violent storm
(photograph at the bottom). Since then
she and her six children have stayed in a
corrugated make-shift home. In May a
damaging wind blew this shelter apart.
Now in the depth of winter she and the
children are living in a shack with many
bended corrugated iron pieces and holes.
This home was put
together with what
could be salvaged after
the windstorm.
Her neighbours
approached the
newpaper with her
plight. She is currently
stuffing clothing and
other items into the
holes of her shelter.
She is unemployed and
struggling to provide for
herself and her
children.
Mr Jeffrey Lesese, her
neighbour said: I am
working and although
most of us are
struggling Sarah
deserves some help.
We are all trying our
best and piece by piece
we build our homes.
Anyone who will be
able to assist in one
way or another with
building material,
clothing, blankets, food
an other essential items
can contact Mr Lesese
on 079 103 2043.

Six months without water
Residents from Ga-Motodi Moshate Section had been collecting
water from the Tswetiane river approximately 3km from their homes
after they were left with dry communal taps for the last 6 months.
Residents have been boiling and bleaching the water to avoid
becoming sick. Residents with their own boreholes sell water in the
ward for R2-50 per 20 litre bucket.
The root of the water problem seems to be a broken pump which
required spares that have to be imported.
Fed-up residents told the newspaper that they were tired (and thirsty)
while waiting for water to be restored. This led to a group digging up
existing pipes that are feeding water to other sections of the village.
The water taken from these pipes brought relief to women walking to
collect water for cooking, washing and doing laundry. One, only
identified as Tebogo said: The water problems even forced my
daughter to move to another village. Another woman added for six
months weve been drinking with the animals, but this temporary
solution from pipeline is bringing us relief.

New draft food labeling legislation is aiming
to protect consumers and provide better
information. The document is currently open
for comments from the public and it
addresses issues such as foods claiming to
be diet products or health foods.
All the health claims such as high in vitamin
C will have to be substantiated. The
proposed regulation will force
manufacturers to put not only a list of
ingredients on the packaging, but also the
nutritional value e.g. the carbohydrate,
protein and fat content per serving.
The proposal is not without controversy. A
drink using artificial sweeteners instead of
sugar will not be able to use the word Zero
or Diet on its label. Shops stocking food
with religious endorsements such as
kosher or halal will have to also stock
identical products without the endorsements
on the label. The draft claims that this will
provide consumers with their constitutional
right of choice.
Platinum Gazette asked readers what they
think of the proposed legislation and
whether they care about reading the labels
of the food they buy.
Mr Juda Mojalefa said: I sometimes read
the labels of food packaging. It will work if
they give the people more choice with
regards to the wrapping and religious logos.
It will show respect for the various religions.
Mr Johannes Mabelane said: No, I never
read the labels. I have no time. I am always
in a hurry. If they improve the information on
the labels it will be good.
Mr Lawrence Kgoete said: Yes, I read the
labels of the things I buy. I think the
additional information that will be on the
label will be nice. I dont think it is necessary
for separate wrappers for each religious
endorsement.
Mr Ally Mathole said: Sometimes I read the
labels. Ive stopped regularly reading the
information on the label because in the past
you believe it and then find out that the
manufacturers have lied about what they put
inside. So what is the use of reading it? I do
care about what they put in the food, but
how can you be sure? It is a good idea to
provide different wrappings for the different
endorsements.
Mr Isaac Malatji said: Not really. I only read
to see pork or no pork. We would like
different packaging for the different religious
endorsements. I think it is a good idea.
Mr Ezzy Mosoma said: Ja, I read the
labels. People need all the information. It is
good that they regulate our foods. I dont
think they have to put the food in different
wrappers for the different endorsements.
Keep things like they are, just add the
additional information.
Ms Motlatso Lekubu said: Yes, I read the
labels. I would like to have different wrappers
with the separate religious endorsement
logos. We need all the information to be able
to know the product is good.
Mnr. Terrence Roberts: Hulle is simpel! Dis
nie nodig om so ver te gaan en die
verpakkings vir elke geloof te gaan verander
nie.
Mnr. Willem Montgomery s: Dis onprakties
om die verskillende labels te h. Dis wel
goed om al die inligting op die labels te sit
veral vir mense wat allergies vir sekere
goed is. Dis overkill om verskillende
verpakkings vir die verskillende logos te h.
Mr Mike Kgwete, Mr Thato Serage and Mr Aubrey Moela said: If we go fish, we go to the
river. We know we will get fish there. If we go to the shop, we know what we would like to
buy. We want to know all the information about the products as some of us are allergic to
things. We read all the ingredients and would appreciate the nutritional value of the food
being on the packaging. It is absolutely necessary to get different packaging for the different
religious endorsements.
Me. Joyce Komane en Me. Thandi Moriri s:
Nee, dit sal te veel wees as hulle alles vir
elke logo apart wil verpak. Hou dit soos dit
is, maar dit is goed om te weet hoeveel
suiker ens. in die produkte is. Mense met
allergies en siektes moet kan sien wat om te
kies. Dis goed dat hulle gesondheidskos en
dieetkos beter wil beheer.
Mr Dumisa Madalane said: I read the
labels. I look for the low-fat products and
want to trust that if it says that it is low-fat or
that there is no pork in it, it is true. You
know, many of us dont eat pork. It is good
to try and accommodate everyone but
people also need to be practical. Shops
dont have enough space to stock one
product in three or four different wrappers.
Me. Katryn de Jonge s: Hoekom moet die
verpakking vir jou alles s? Mense moet self
verantwoordelikheid vat. Nee, ek lees nie
die labels nie.
Ms. Eudif Diale and Mr Elvis Nkuna said:
They must change it so that people will
understand what they are buying. Keep one
packaging for the endorsements. People are
tolerant, just have all the logos and
information on the label.
Mr Rufus Malepe said: I read the labels. I
would like the nutritional value on all the
labels of the things I buy. Packaging with
endorsements are fine like they are
currently being done.
Mr SM Sehlabela said: Yes, I read the
labels. It is good that theyll need to add the
nutritional information because people have
different diets. People must be tolerant of
each other and their religions so just keep
the packaging with the endorsements as it
is.
Do you care about the label?

customers smile all
the way
Tubatse SUPERSPAR is making customers smile with their
great prices, friendly service and wonderful competitions.
Last weekend Mr Piliso Nkoana was the lucky winner in the Wild
Weekend Competition. He received a R500 shopping voucher. It
was handed to him by Ms Nonjabulo Mbiza from Spar.
If you are not in the market for a lorry size 4 x 4 , but needs something larger than a car, say
for six people, or four people and a dog (theirs or yours) and a parrot or cat, then maybe
the Chevrolet Captiva from General Motors South Africa can be your vehicle of choice.
Keyless entry with a fob in your pocket opened the specimen we took delivery of from
Westvaal Steelpoort earlier this week.
Turn a fixed key like knob where the key usually goes, and of you go. Steelpoort equals
bumps and potholes, but the two-wheel drive manual shift (six gears) LT version we were
sitting in, did not encounter any problem with that.
The car may not look like a Ferrari, and may seem a bit uninspiring from the outside, but
get in behind the steering wheel and your perception changes.
The car / crossover is certainly not a true bundu basher, but for rough roads and gravel it
is perfect, large, comfortable and even luxurious. The 2.4 16 valve Ecotec engine will not let
you catch the Ferrari, but it is lively enough for the purpose of the vehicle. (Rephrase the
Ferrari will struggle to catch you, as it is not really designed for Steelpoort).
The vehicle is large, but not too large, it rides well, have enough space for seven people
and even the two jump seats at the back are very comfortable and easily accessible for
adults. Flipping up the mid row of seats is an easy one-lever operation and the access
space is wide. Or you can fold everything down for a massive load bay (we noticed a cargo
net in the cubby hole).
It is kind of useless to list everything the car has and can do as none of our readers are
walking acronym dictionaries. It is easier to say that the car has practically everything to
keep you safe (airbags, all the brake things) and entertained (USB slot, bluetooth, 3.5 mm
audio jack, radio etc).
Directional stability is very good, and thanks to the guy in the large bakkie who took a
chance and almost drove into us outside town, we also tested the brakes thoroughly. They
work very well and the vehicle did not flinch (we did).
The Chevrolet Captiva is certainly a very comfortable family car for the bigger family,
with a few capabilities surpassing that of cars and if you really want to go for everything the
diesel powered all-wheel drive is available.
For the family man or woman (illuminated vanity mirror on the drivers side) the Captiva
is a natural candidate if you need just a little more extra without breaking the bank
completely.
It is available from Westvaal Steelpoort if you have R345100. Phone them at 013 230
9230.
We drive the
