Calm
again
The area around Bokoni Platinum Mine and the nearby
R37 road from Atok to Polokwane seemed calm yesterday morning just before the newspaper went to press.
The area became quiet after a meeting between
different stakeholders was held on Wednesday at the
Merensky Stadium in Atok after violence, blocking of
roads and burning erupted on Monday and continued
through Tuesday.
Children did not go to school and operations at the
mine were severly disrupted, but according to reports, were returning to normal by yesterday morning,
following Wednesdays meeting. The exact nature of
the delibarations at the meeting were not known at the
time of going to press. Bokoni Platinum mine is owned
by Atlatsa Resources (51 percent and Anglo American
Platinum (49 percent).
Meanwhile the disruptions claimed at least one life.
According to the Police in Polokwane the Police came
under heavy attack from protesters along the R37
at Atok when protesters blocked the road and threw
stones at the Police.
A media statement from the Police says : In the
process of protecting themselves (police)a 28 year old
was allegedly fatally shot while another was apparently injured and currently hospitalized. Circumstances
surrounding the subsequent shooting will be investigated. According to the information received the area
experienced blockades by protesters as from Monday
where, tree trunks, stones, telephone poles and burning
tyres; resulting in the road being totally closed for the
motorists
Several cases ranging from public violence, malicious damage to property and theft of motor vehicle
have so far been registered and three suspects arrested for cases of public violence. The shooting incident is
reported to the IPID who took over the investigation.

Zambezi Platinum
listed on JSE Boost for Northam
Photo Credit: Philip
Mostert Photography

Zambezi Platinum was successfully listed on the Main Board of the JSE on
Monday.
Zambezi Platinum (RF) Limited (Zambezi Platinum), is a special purpose vehicle created to house the newly constituted HDSA shareholding in
Northam Platinum Limited (Northam).
Zambezi Platinum will beneficially hold 159 905 453 Northam shares,
amounting to approximately 31.4% of the total issued ordinary share capital
of Northam. Zambezi Platinums preference shares which will be issued to
participants on 18 May 2015 at R41 per share, provide an affordable opportunity for a broad range of investors, over and above those directly invested
in Northam, to gain exposure to this exciting sector. The preference shares
will trade under the ZPLP ticker symbol.
Speaking at the JSE on Monday, chairman elect of Zambezi Platinum,
Mr Lazarus Zim, described the nature of the transaction which saw the
establishment of Zambezi Platinum and which has revitalized Northams empowerment status, as unique and unprecedented. Unlike many prior BEE
transactions, everyone party to this transaction is protected from the vicissitudes of the market through the ringfencing of Zambezi. With Northams
strong balance sheet, visionary and energetic leadership, we can now
pursue value-accretive growth opportunities which will benefit shareholders
and all stakeholders alike.
Northam chief executive Paul Dunne added, This landmark transaction
recognises the fundamental value of Northam along with its growth potential.
Now, with meaningful and sustainable empowerment participation, we are
well poised to realise further upside.
Much like its namesake, one of Africas greatest waterways, Zambezi
Platinum seeks to ensure that there is significant value and benefit flowing
through to a broad range of stakeholders communities, employees, a
womens group and a core of strategic partners who offer financial, legal and
business skills, supportive of Northams ambitions.
The Zambezi Platinum listing wil enable Northam Platinum to make acquisitions and expand operations after paying R4.6bn as part of the deal.
Preference-share investors will be paid an annual dividend at South
Africas benchmark retail-lending rate, known as the prime rate, plus 3.5
percentage points, according to a notice on Northams website. Northam
announced a deal in February to buy the Everest mine, which is contiguous
to Booysendal, between Steelpoort, Lydenburg and Roossenekal for R450m
from Aquarius Platinum. The company announced the transaction with Zambezi in October after the stakes of its previous black owners, Afripalm and
Mvelaphanda Holdings, got eroded as the investment companies had to sell
part of their holdings to repay loans.

1 Corinthians 10:24 (NIV)

No one should seek their own

good, but the good of others.

Angels bring joy

On 16 April the group called Angels with the
support of Hip Hop cares, donated a full set
of school uniforms to 20 children at Shopiane
Primary School. The children were filled with
joy at the receiving the gifts.
The Angels are not a formal group affiliated
to anyone, they are simply a group of women

in the Burgersfort area who are thankful for

the blessings they have and would like to
share it. Last year they visited two schools
in Bothashoek where they donated shoes.
After seeing many orphaned children without
proper school uniforms the women decided
to address this issue in 2015.
The packages they delivered this year were
specially packed and marked with a personal
touch. The Angels would like to thank Hip
Hop Cares and Ackermans Tubatse Crossing. They thank everyone who contributed
and thank the Lord for the blessings they are
able to share.
We try to remember this: Matthew 10:42:
And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water
to one of these little ones who is my disciple,
truly I tell you, that person will certainly not
lose their reward.

be in the form of a visit, something
just being there or providing a
more physical type of assistance
by taking someone to the doctor

or helping with preparing a meal for

the family. The volunteers are being
trained by Cansa and will receive certificates once it is completed. Anyone
can volunteer and work for this good
