Dwarsrivier Mine hosted the Senior General Managers Stakeholder Breakfast on Thursday last week. The event took place at Jorge Resort near Steelpoort and guests ranging from municipal officials, political figures, community and organisational representatives formed part of the day. The programme included a presentation by the Senior General Manager, Mr Mthi Mtshengu and messages from stakeholders such as the Department of Water Affairs as well as the Greater Tubatse Municipality and Sekhukhune District Municipality. Mr Mtshengus presentation included explanations about the mines performance, highlights and challenges the mine face and projects they are involved in. Mr Mtshengu (photograph: top right) explained that Dwarsrivier Mine had a difficult financial year that resulted in a loss, but hope to recover in the coming year. This performance influenced various projects such as the Cadet Programme that has been suspended in the short term. They are however still committed to the communities surrounding them and is currently busy with the electrification of 320 houses in the Kalkfontein Village close to the mine. Some of the highlights the Mine has experienced includes stable community relations; sound labour relations, the obtaining of new mining rights, reaching 2 000 000 fatality free shifts, receiving ISO & OHSAS Re-certification for the third time; SED projects that are progressing, a reduction of security incidents and the launch of the Mine Crime Combat Forum. Negative issues the Mine had to cope with include the difficult chrome market and labour rationalization. Mr Mtshengu highlighted the social economic development priorities theyve set and what they are looking forward to for the rest of 2013 and 2014. Despite difficult times the Mine continues to invest in social interventions and enterprise development in the area. Some of these include: Kalkfontein Olive Tree Project; Kutullo Tyre Service Centre, Early Childhood Development Centre; Contruction of the Ngwaabe Home Based Care centre and the electrification of houses in Kalkfontein. Enterprise development is done in the following areas: underground road construction, waste management, sanitation, laundry & change house, civil construction, vegetation control, printing, ore transport, SMME capacitation, multi-national suppliers (Steelpoort fund creation), SMME portal and tyre repairs. Mr Mtshengu highlighted that the future for Dwarsrivier Mine can look good when relationships with its stakeholders are nurtured and valued. It is relationships like these that would build the foundation for future sustainability, even during trying times he said.

Focus on empowerment
Local procurement, community development, social responsibility and especially empowerment of people were the buzzwords at Modikwa Platinum Mine last week on Friday. The mine, an Anglo American Platinum and African Rainbow Minerals joint venture, is a business success, withstanding several recessionary storms during the last few years and looking into a bright future. Modikwas Business Leader, Mokgosi Nkoana, invited a large number of stakeholders from the community and villages around the mine, interest groups and government representatives to a business breakfast to enlighten everybody on the way Modikwa shared its success locally. Mr Nkoana reiterated that the business is committed to developing communities and local businesses with the mine, to give the mine the necessary strong local support it needs to be even more successful and in a position to empower people. Mr Nkoana told the audience that the mine has spend more than R80 million during this financial year and that even more is envisaged for the future. He also emphasised that the mine was committed to assist people to develop themselves and that local business ventures should engage with the mine to make sure of the mines needs, procedures and methods, as well as what was needed to develop as a service provider that could not be dependent on the mine alone, but could also operate independently in the local economy. Local empowerment partners as well as interest groups had their say, some of them complaining about the time the mine take to effect payment for services rendered and work done. Mr Nkoana explained that a seven day payment policy for local empowerment partners were in place, but that they also need to do their part to ensure a smooth payment process, such as making sure that all documentation is completed correctly and in time as the mine needs time to establish a full audit trail before payment can be effected. Incomplete documentation a day before you need to pay your people will not work and you will have possible cash flow difficulties, he said. He also took note of concerns about women and youth empowerment in the programme, telling Platinum Gazette nothing is perfect yet and we are still developing our empowerment programme. These concerns will also get the attention it deserves.

SPORT
his team is the one to beat. The tournament will stretch over five years. The 2013 section of the event will start on 21 December 2013 at the Bagakodi Sports Ground. Mr SJ Kodi is the organiser of the tournament and teams will be playing for their share of R250 000 over the five year period. Mr Kodi is also involved with soccer development in the area. He believes that Sekhukhune have many stars in the making and that they should be trained from a young age to reach their potential and also taught to rather turn to sport than crime. One of the challenges these teams are facing is the grounds on which they practice. The municipality allegedly started work on it, but this was never finished. This means that there is no level ground to play on and the playable section is too small. Mr Kodi can be contacted on 082 344 5493.
Stars of the future. Mr Kodi with the u/8 and u/12 development teams.
