The face of Burgersfort is changing fast, with the new hawkers plaza now at the foundation phase. Workers on the terrain told the newspaper we do important work. This new stalls must be
able to withstand wind, weather and lots of hard trading. The steel makes it strong. A barber, who now renders his services on the sidewalk, commented that we are happy, work is
progressing. We just hope that we will be able to move in before peak time at the end of November and December. Then there is the question of the coming rains. Ons goedjies kan dalk nat

John 15:16 (NIV)
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that
you might go and bear fruit - fruit that will last - and so that
whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.
Tragedy struch this week Monday at Bokoni Platinum mine when a member of the
community of Ga-Selepe, Mr Bernard Maropane, lost his life in a blasting incident at
the companys Klipfontein opencast operation.
According to reports the situation in nand around Atok remained tense and the
Police in Limpopo increased their presence after the house of a chief was torched.
Damage of several thousand rand was allegedly caused to the double story residence.
The company issued a statement through its website and later in the week to local
media saying:
Atlatsa Resources Corporation (Atlatsa) has suspended operations at its
Klipfontein opencast mine at Bokoni Platinum Mine (Bokoni) pending the outcome of
an urgent and full investigation into the fatal injury of a Mosotsi community member,
Mr Bernard Moropane.
Atlatsas CEO, Harold Motaung, the board and management of Atlatsa and Bokoni
extend their sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr Moropane.
Safety of our employees and community members remains of paramount
importance to our operations and mine management is working closely with the South
African Police Services (SAPS), the Department of Mineral Resources and other
authorities involved in the investigation of the fatality.
The Company notes with regret that after the fatal injury, members of the local
community set fire to community and contractor mining property and equipment,
causing significant damage. This too is being investigated by the SAPS, and
community engagement to resolve any issues arising from this event is ongoing.
The Klipfontein opencast mine comprises approximately 20% of Bokonis total
production and the mine has adequate stockpile for processing whilst the opencast
operation remains suspended.
Meanwhile, the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Mineral Resources on
Wednesday said in a statement that it noted with concern the blast incident, adding
that it was also concerned about the violent protests by community members that
followed. The committee is not in a position to say whether operations at the mine
should shut down and can only express a view after receiving findings of the
investigation by health and safety inspectors from the DMR, it said. Committee
chairperson Sahlulele Luzipo added that the committee would also investigate how a
consultation process was conducted before permission was granted to carry out the
blast operation at the mine.
Tragedy
Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) is targeting cost reductions and productivity
improvements of R3.8-billion by 2016 as it transitions to a lower cost, higher quality portfolio.
Amplats told mining analysts who visited the companys Polokwane smelter on Friday
that the company would be growing its openpit operations and leveraging its mechanised
mines, as well as implementing short-, medium- and long-term marketing strategies to boost
the sales of platinum-group metals (PGMs) across a wide spectrum.
Participation in the recycling business, where the 2013 return on capital employed was
43%, was under investigation, the company disclosed.
Programmes to drive demand included improving the rate of fuel cell adoption,
stimulating rhodium demand for autocatalysts and expanding the gifting of platinum
jewellery to both the bride and the groom in India.
Mines earmarked for growth were the Mogalakwena, Unki, Twickenham, Tumela,
Dishaba and Der Brochen operations together with the Bafokeng Rasimone, Mototolo,
Modikwa and Kroondal joint ventures (JVs).
Mines that would be exited were the Union and Rustenburg underground operations as
well as the Bokoni and Pandora JVs.
Discussion was under way to extend the mechanised Mototolo JV into Der Brochen and
to boost the pool-and-share arrangement at the mechanised Kroondal platinum mine
through the contribution of farms.
Amplats CEO Chris Griffith told analysts that the current focus was to create a more
profitable, sustainable and socially acceptable company.
The north and south divisions of the Union mine had already been consolidated into one
operation, the north declines closed and a cash positive mine with a 25-year potential
created, using existing infrastructure.
The Merensky concentrator has been placed on care and maintenance and the
Rustenburg mine prepared to operate on a standalone basis.
Interest in buying both Union and Rustenburg would be evaluated this month in tandem
with the possible demerging of the mines into a separately listed entity.
The company said that structural changes of falling demand, rising supply and
increasing costs were impacting the business.

The slowest
car in town
Drop-top Lamborghini Gallardos are not very common in Burgersfort.
In fact, this light blue example was spotted at Tubatse Crossing
Mall on Tuesday and caused quite a stir, not only bacause of the
things sheer beauty, but also because it took quite a (slow) effort
to traverse the speed humps at the shopping centre. But dont be
caught on the open road with this one, 300km/h plus is too easy...
More woes for
Nkwe
Platinum
Australia Stock Exchange listed Nkwe Platinum has lost its 64
percent indirect interest in the two farms forming the Tubatse
platinum project near Burgersfort after the Supreme Court of Appeal
set aside an earlier judgment that awarded the prospecting rights for
these farms to Nkwes black economic-empowerment partner,
Genorah Resources, in partnership with local communities.
This loss of interest is the direct result of two cases previously
heard in the North Gauteng High Court.
The Supreme Court of Appeal heard the cases in August and the
appeals were upheld during judgment on 26 September.
The prospecting rights to the farms, Eerstegeluk 327KT and
Nooitverwacht 324KT, had, over a long period of time, been
subject to numerous applications to both administrative and legal
bodies in South Africa.
In 2011, the Constitutional Court had set aside the prospecting
rights to these farms that had previously been held by Genorah, in
partnership with the local communities. Following an application and
subsequent review of this application, the Department of Mineral
Resources re-issued the prospecting rights to both farms to
Genorah and the local communities. This award, however, became
subject to legal challenge and Supreme Court of Appeal had now
set aside the award, resulting in Nkwe Platinum losing its indirect
interest in the farms.
Genorah and its local community partners had advised Nkwe
Platinum that it intended to appeal this decision.
According to reports the Company said that while the Tubatse
project is of value to the company, these two farms are not part of
the companys flagship Garatau, De Kom and Hoepakranz projects,
wherein it holds a valid mining right and has completed a substantial
bankable feasibility study.

Die hoofbestuurder van Afgri Limpopo
(foto, regs) het ook die dag saam met
die manne geniet, en sonder om
formeel te raak, lekker gesels en aan
die einde van die dag n paar
gedagtes met boere gewissel. Mnr
Van Jaarsveld het boere aangemoedig
om deel van georganiseerde landbou
in Suid-Afrika te bly en indien hulle nie
lid is nie, deel te word en saam te
staan teen uitdagings in die bedryf. Hy
het daarop gewys dat die speelveld en
die rol van individue in landbou
organisasies verander het. Dit gaan
nie meer oor wat die formele strukture
vir boere kan doen nie, maar elke boer
moet hom of haarself afvra watter
bydrae hy of sy kan lewer om van
georganiseerde landbou n sukses te
maak.
Lede van Ohrigstad Boerevereniging, gaste en borge het verlede
week Donderdag by Pelgrimsrus Buiteklub saamgetrek en
behoorlik tussen die putjies vir die organisasie se jaarlikse
gholfdag geboer.
Hoewel daar ernstig gholf gespeel is, is die bal-slanery
afgewissel met allerhande kwajongstreke deur van die lede. Na
bewering was n lewendige slang ook op n stadium betrokke. Na
die formele gholf het almal wat daar was (selfs die wat nog nooit
aan n stok geraak het nie) aan n put-put kompetise deelgeneem
en oom Constand Viljoen het soos wat dit beskryf is, n general
shot geslaan.
Teen daardie tyd was n tjips-bakkery op groot skaal aan die
gang in afwagting van vleis wat later op n gasplaat gaar sou kom.
Voor enige pryse uitgedeel is, het oom Jan Ferreira die boere
daarop attent gemaak dat die projek om die ou Voortrekker
Begraafplaas mooi te maak en te bewaar, stadig vorder. Heelwat
geldjies is beloof om met die projek te help en oom Jan het elke
belofte sogrvuldig neergepen sodat die manne nie kan wegraak
nie.
Jan Jacobs, wat die aankondigings gedoen en die musiek
gespeel het, het ook sy slag as afslaer tydens die veiling gewys en
die aktiwiteit is ook na afloop daarvan as hoogs suksesvol beskryf.
O ja, die gholf is deur Cobus Beetge se 4-bal gewen, Robert
Cross se 4-bal was tweede en Wimpie Briel se 4-bal was derde.
Die 4-bal wat laaste gekom het, het elk n pak 1 ply-no name-

SAFA SAB
league games
continue
unchanged
(for now)
Widespread discord and divisions within the
teams forming part of the Sekhukhune
regions SAFA SAB league is still hovering,
but currently games continue in the
established format.
This resolution was taken in August at a
meeting attended by the REC, LFA and team
representatives.
Alleged complaints and reasons for dividing
the league is the distance teams travel to
attend games. The possible division of the
league also led to fears that the status of the
teams will fall in value. Fears of
inconsistency and the possibility of strong
teams taking advantage of the weaker ones
are rife. The lack of development
programmes for referees, coaches,
administration and officials in the region is
also a concern.
A major concern is the perceived lack of
commitment from several local football
associations in the area.
The possible division of the league into three
streams has been discussed as well as the
appointment of a task team to look into the
viability of such divisions.
The league will continue with 16 teams for
the 2014/2015 season.
The REC will be consulting widely with
regards to the new proposed streams within
Sekhukhune. This should include all
stakeholders and must include a meeting
with the SAB teams to specifically address
the matter.
Matters raised as concerns for participating
league teams include money collection that is
done irregularly by some officials. Teams are
asking for a compensation fee should the
league be devided. It is recommened that
the regions finances be presented annually
and be open for inspection. Administration in
terms of documentation collected on behalf
of the region should be stored and
maintained by the administrator and not the
president of the regions league. This should
according to calls also apply to assests such
as vehicles.
Due to the wide breach of trust, teams are
calling for the withdrawal of the current
leadership of the current structure. They are
also calling on SAFA to ensure that proper
training is done to assist the newly elected
leadership be competent to perform their
duties thoroughly.
After the consultation the matter should be
tabled at the Competitions Committee before
it will be implemented - possibly in the next
season although it could take up to 5 years.

Anglers from the Chrome Angling Club
participated in the annual Loskop Carp
Bonanza that took place on 4 October 2014.
The big prize everyone were fishing for was
the 5 metre Naverone boat with a 85Pk
Yamaha motor. To win this anglers had to
catch two carp with a combined weight of
9.5kg or more. To win a Mahindra Scorpio
4x2 M/Hawk bakkie, anglers had to catch a
5.5kg carp or heavier. Both these prizes were
sponsored by Willie Pieters from Vanstar
Auto Lydenburg.
The Friday was practice day for the
competition and a few small carp were
caught. On Saturday morning the sky was
overcast and the boat and shore anglers set
out to try and catch the big one that will bring
in the grand prize. Later in the day the skies
cleared and anglers enjoyed a sunny day.
On Sunday the prize giving took place.
Unfortunately both the big prizes were not
won as the winning carp only weighed in at
4.6kg. The winner still walked away with a
cash prize of R40 000. The top 30 carp all
received prizes that varied from a Crackle
back boat with a 15pk Titan motor, a HOnda
scooter, a trailer and cash prizes. Lucky draw
prizes were also up for grabs. These ranged
from holidays in Mozambique, St. Lucia,
Arabie dam and Veygeboom dam.
The Chrome Angling Club would like to
congratulate Dennis Cruse Junior who was
the only one from the Tubatse Chrome
Angling Club team who did not go home
empty handed.
Dennis caught the third biggest carp for the
juniors which landed him a gold medal and a
fishign rod and reel. Dennis also won a lucky
draw prize at Forever Resorts Loskop dam.
The club would like to thank the Stywelyne
Skippers Academy who arrange the
Bonanza, all the sponsors of the event,
Tubatse Chrome for the sponsorship of the
T-shirts and everyone who participated in the
event. Everyone is looking forward to next
years competition.

Tubatse Masters take on ASA Metals soccer team
Tubatse Masters FC hosted the soccer team from Dilokong ASA Metals at
Praktiseer on 4 October 2014.
The game was played at the Sekhukhune FET College in Praktiseer.
The Masters dominated the game in the first half and managed to score two
goals. Motale Mkhondo opened the scoreboard from a pass he received
from Andrew Skhosana.
The visiting team also received opportunities, but failed to convert them. The
Masters second goal was scored by Jerial Movundlela from a free kick. This
made the half time score 2-0.
In the second half, Tubatse Masters continued putting pressure on the
Dilokong teams defence. This paid off and they scored three more goals. A
goal by PapanaMkhondo and
a brace by Andrew Skhosana
ensured that the team won
the game 5-0.

Greenkeeper gets
his revenge
The Tubatse Chrome Club golf course
opened after being closed in September to
the Greenkeepers Revenge on last week
Saturday.
The course was played the wrong way
around and ensured that holes which are
usually easy to play became very difficult.
The days winner was Bianca Wirths, second
was Werner van Vreden and third Lucas
Zwane.
In the coming weeks
the following
activities will be
taking place at the
Club:
10 October 2014 -
social golf. Open for
all players.
18 October 2014 -
League games start.
Tubatse Chrome
Club will have three teams. On this date Chrome A
will play at home and the other two teams will play
away.
On 25 October 2014 the Ohrigstad Rugby Klub
Golf day will take place. Golf enthusiasts are
encouraged to enter for this competition and share
in the days fun for a good cause.
Anyone who would like to enter can contact Martin
van Rooyen on 072 564 2811.

the backward course
brought players to

short distance further.
