A lone ‘entrepreneur’ (right) is fighting a losing battle against the pot-
dysfunctional
municipality - p 4 & 5
holes on the Burgersfort - Penge road just past the Dresden turn-off.
Although he is fighting a losing battle on this road, which is now rapidly
degenerating to gravel, it seems on the surface that his efforts is not
much worse than that of a whole ‘maintenance’ team, upsurping his role
on the same road. More about the roads on page 2.

Tubatse Crossing Mall will be a hive of
activity today. Burgersfort will be a hive of
activity. Everybody will be in town, looking
for a special. Take care, be careful with your
money and decisions. Businesses want to do
business. They want your money. In the end,
be wide awake and enjoy yourself (if you can
afford it).

The Steelpoort to Lydenburg road past Lapeng Lodge.

This is a tarred road ... The government’s people
formally promised to fix. As usual it proved to be an
empty promise for now. A losing battle on the same
road (right).

Road rules still apply. Don’t forget to stop at the railway The most recently painted white line and some of the road marks

This is also not funny. People actually get paid for it ...

Add Hope making it count in Mabotsha

A small group of volunteer workers at a care centre in Limpopo are committed to fuelling
children’s bodies and minds. Mabotsha Home Based Care provides balanced meals to 64
children, helps them with homework, and teaches extra-mural activities such as music, dance
and poetry.
Based in Burgersfort, Mabotsha Home Based Care recently received R96 000 from Add
Hope, which will allow them to continue to assist the vulnerable and orphaned children in their
care.
Christinah Makhini, Mabotsha’s project manager, says that the two-year partnership with
Add Hope has helped them significantly to feed and nurture the growing number of children at
the centre. “When we started Mabotsha in 2002, it was without any funding,” says Makhini. In
2005, we received a grant from the Department of Health, which enabled us to continue our
work. It is with thanks to Add Hope and our two-year partnership with them that enables us to
do greater work in the community, and to not turn anyone away.”
The Add Hope initiative has raised more than R492 million since 2009, and has reached
more than 120 000 children who benefit from sustainable feeding programmes across South
Africa. Add Hope has partnered with 143 national and local organisations, and is able to reach
so many children thanks to each R2 customer donation.
Thabisa Mkhwanazi, the KFC Corporate Affairs Director for Africa and Add Hope Champion
says, “Feeding children and fostering their health and development is a critical concern for us.
Currently, one in five children in the country is suffering from learning difficulties and stunted
growth as a result of hunger and malnutrition, and we remain committed to helping organisa-
tions like Mabotsha Home Based Care continue with their outstanding work.”

Water tanks for Mokutung

Wildevy Manne kies
nuwe bestuur vir 2019

Mokutung Village is one of those villages
that has been struggling for years to get a
constant and proper supply of water.
The Sekhukhune District Municipality respon-
sible for the supply of water is however in the
process of addressing these problems.
Part of this has been the delivery of brand
new water tanks that will be installed with a
new pump to ensure the community will get
the benefit of potable water supply.
This week the village headman, Mr Emma-
nuel Mmopane told Platinum Gazette that
they are happy with the progress so far and
is hoping the project will be completed soon
as they are thirsty for the water supply that
was promised.

With all Burgersfort’s municipal service problems, a proper landfill site is still lacking. This
is not a landfill site. This is next to the Penge road near Alverton. The skips are used by
residents, but are not adequate to handle all the waste. They also seem to be emptied on Die Wildevy Manne het ‘n baie suksesvol-

Your views on the woes facing
The Fetakgomo Tubatse Local Municipality
(FTLM) has experienced financial strain for
many months and is currently seen as tech-
nically bankcrupt. This week the Provincial
government announced that it will be inter-
vening in the affairs of FTLM to try and get
the municipality back on track as a possible
economic hub.
They issued the following statement:
“Fetakgomo Tubatse Local Municipality
was identified among the seven (7) dis-
tressed Municipalities during 2017 and has
been identified for targeted support and
oversight, and it is one of the Priority Pro-
vincial Growth Point Municipalities with high
potential for economic development. The
Municipality is however under severe finan-
cial pressure, and has also been faced with
community uprisings due to delays in service
delivery. Noting that the information provid-
ed in Section 71 reports is not credible and
does not truly reflect the state of affairs in the
municipality, the municipality was requested
to provide cash-flow information from July
2018 to date, as well as projections for the
remaining months of the year to determine its
liquidity.
An analysis of the cash flow conducted
by the Provincial Treasury, CoGHSTA and
the Municipality on 22 October 2018 revealed
severe financial pressure as serious, and fur-
ther that it is paying the salaries at expense
of other creditors. The analysis also revealed
the following risks and challenges: -
The municipality is technically bankrupt,
and is at a risk of litigations due to inability
to meet financial obligations; contractors for
own funded projects are not paid and this
may lead to community protests due to slow
implementation of projects; conditional grants
are not used for the intended purpose due to
the financial pressures; non implementation
of the financial recovery plan adopted to
mitigate the VBS exposure due to resistance
from council and staff; incomplete Opera-
tion Mabone project which would result in
community unrest. There is a court case on
this project between the municipality, service
provider and Special Investigation Unit (SIU).
The contingent liability of the municipality is
R195 million as per 31 June 2018 AFS, and
should the municipality lose the case they will
be liable for payment.
Office lease agreement is expiring in
June 2020. Should the municipality’s finan-
cial health not improve, this will add to the
financial burden. The municipality has not
paid monthly rental of R1,8 million since July
2018. In addition to the financial pressures,
there is inadequate accountability in the
Budget and the Provincial Treasury resulting
from the resignation of the Chief Financial
Officer. The municipality has not yet prom-
ulgated the property rates by-laws to give
effect to the implementation of the Property
Rates Policy.
It is on the basis of the financial pres-
sures faced by the Municipality that a
recommendation is hereby made for the
provincial government to intervene and place
the municipality under section 139(1)(b) of
the Constitution. Section 139(1)(b) maintains
that when a municipality cannot or does
not fulfill an executive obligation in terms of
the Constitution or legislation, the relevant
provincial executive may intervene by taking
any appropriate steps to ensure fulfillment
of that obligation by assuming responsibility
for the relevant obligation in the municipality;
and the focus of the intervention will be to
stabilise the financial situation in line with the
provisions of Section 137 of the Municipal
Finance Management Act No 56 of 2003. The
Executive Council resolved to place Fetakgo-
mo Tubatse Local Municipality under Section
139(1)(b) of the Constitution of the Republic
of South Africa.
Municipalities are at the coalface of
service delivery and its importance for them
to deliver services in an effective and efficient
manner. The Provincial Government cannot
fold arms while service delivery and financial
23 NOVEMBER 2018
status deteriorates in our municipalities. As
Government, we remain focused in ensuring
that our communities continue to have unin-
terrupted access to basic services.”
In simple terms this means that the
municipality will be placed under administra-
tion, but that the council will not be dissolved.
They will be kept in place and will be required
to still fulfill their duties.
To bring things from bad to worse, mu-
nicipal employees belonging to the workers
union SAMWU are still on strike. This means
that no services like issuing of traffic licenses
and town planning documents required by
law, can be done.
However part of their demands had been
met as the FTLM council took a decision to
suspend the Municipal Manager and Chief
Financial Officer (CFO). This is just one of
ripple effects of the reckless investment of
more than R230 million in the VBS Mutual Mr Hamilton Maepa said: “We need to Mr Tebatso Chuene said: “Things will now be

Platinum Gazette asked readers what
they think about the woes faced by the mu-
nicipality and the workers’ strike.
Mr C.T Motseo, Mr S. Motseo and Mr Kolokoto Makofane said: “It will be better now that the
provincial government is taking over. Nothing has improved in the last 4 years in our munici-
pality. Look at the roads and our robots are not working there at Cheap Cheap. The staff must
go back to work and give services. Next year people will not vote ANC because of this”.
Ms Hazel Chiloane said: “In the next election
people should vote for other parties. These
guys just drained our money while making
themselves rich. The striking workers should
go back to work, otherwise they will suffer in
December without pay. Their families will suf-
fer. It will definitely make a difference with the
municipality now going under administration”.
Mnr Abraham Mokwena sê: “Dis goed dat die
province se mense nou ingryp. Die werkers
moet asseblief nie meer strike nie”.
Ms Sanny Mkhondo said: “There is no hope
for our municipality. Next year voters will go
for independent parties and many will intro-
duce independent parties. People are tired
of the ANC, EFF, DA and other old parties.
Mr Excellent Mohlala said: “The VBS money All they do is make promises that they don’t

Mr Bennett Moraba said: “The provincial

Cricket development boosted
Cricket development in the Sekhukhune District
received a well deserved boost with a skills train-
ing, umpiring and coaching workshop recently.
The event took place at Miami Lodge in Polok-
wane from 9 - 11 November. Cricket club’s from
all five districts of Limpopo assembled for intense
training on theoretic knowledge. The knowledge
accumulated was tested at the Polokwane Cricket
Club for most of the afternoon of 10 November
2018. Teams such as Tafelkop Cricket Club rep-
resented by Mr Thabiso Chego have significantly
benefitted from the workshop and have acquired
new skills to improve their club’s performance on
the field and better the administrative functioning
of their club. Facilitators include Mr Tshepo Man-
gena for coaching and Mr Isaac Mamabolo for
umpiring. The two separate sessions were held
and the clubs divided their members according to
their strengths.
The elected leadership is led by President Mr
Tshepo Pudikabekwa, Vice President Mr Phumi
Mapata, Treasurer Mr Sam Mathonsi, Secretary
Mr Phuti Kgomo, Training Coordinator Mr Thabiso
Mashiane and Head Trainer Mr Isaac Mamabolo.
Additional members will be appointed to represent
the districts during the first seating of the Execu-
tive Committee.
