Residents do not always know which government institution or
body is responsible for which services, and up until now, bills for
services did not make it easier.
For example, water users in Burgersfort received their
accounts for municipal services from the Greater Tubatse
Muniucipality (GTM), water service fees and use included. But,
GTM is not responsible for this service and only did the billing
on an agency basis for Sekhukhune District Municipality (SDM),
which is the government institution responsible for water and
sanitation. Now SDM has decided to communicate directly with
water consumers and do the billing accordingly from 1 July this
year.
This will result in two seperate accounts for consumers: one
from GTM for municipal services they are rendering and a
seperate water service and consumption bill from SDM. This
new arrangement was explained to consumers on Wednesday
afternoon via a representation by SDM in the old municipal
building in Burgersfort.
The Manager Revenue of SDM, Ms Busiswe Matjie, was
ready with a presentation in this regard when the newspaper
went to the meeting, but the meeting had not formally started.
According to residents present Ward Councillor Anna Masete
told them of the meeting and they distributed the news from
mouth to mouth. They also hoped to air their grievances about
water provision, faulty water meters and illegal water
connections to their meters to the SDM officials.
Takeover causes a stir
Separate water bills in the offing
The Limpopo Department of Co-operative
Governance, Human Settlements and
Traditional Affairs (CoGHSTA) is on track
with the preparations for the 2014 Initiation
Schools Programme.
In terms of the Departments
arrangements, the Initiation Schools are
scheduled to commence on the 20 June and
end on the 18 July 2014. The scheduled
dates are aimed at ensuring that the custom
does not interfere with the schools learning
calendar. This year, the department has
received three hundred and eleven (311)
applications to conduct Initiation Schools
across the province. Of this figure, two
hundred and seventy five (275) applications
have been approved and thirty six (36)
applications were declined. 85 permits had
been issued in Sekhukhune.
The House of Traditional leaders in the
province has conducted a workshop for all
Senior Traditional Leaders who qualify for
initiation school permits.
The department has called on parents to
verify the legitimacy of initiation schools with
their respective Traditional Authorities
before they send their children, saying there
will be zero tolerance to people who want to
take chances by running initiation schools
without permits. The department says any
school that starts before the starting date of
the 20 June 2014 will be regarded as illegal.
In terms of Sections 2 (1) of the
Northern Province Circumcision Schools
Act No. 6 of 1996 no person shall hold an
initiation school without a valid permit
issued to him/her. No traditional surgeon
or any other person is allowed to perform
rituals in an initiation school without a
certificate of fitness issued for that
purpose by a registered medical
practitioner authorized by the Premier or
authorized officer to do so in terms of
Section 3 (1) of Initiation Schools
Regulations of 2003.

Ohrigstad boer leer van
bone in Suid-Amerika
Cor Cross en sy vrou Corrie van Ohrigstad is
onlangs saam met die Drobone Prdusente
Organisasie na Argentini en Brazili om meer
oor hulle styl van bone produksie te wete te
kom. Cor is die voorsitter van die Ohrigstad
Boerevereniging en sal die kennis wat hy daar
opgedoen het weer in die vallei terugploeg.
Die toergroep het uit 18 lede bestaan en hulle
het van plekke soos Ohrigstad, Delmas,
Bethlehem, Harrismith en die Oos-Kaap
gekom. Die toerleiers was Suid-Afrikaners wat
reeds tussen 12 en 15 jaar in Argentini woon.
Die toer het n verskeidenheid ondervindings
ingesluit. Die groep het in Rosario een van die
land se graanhawens besoek. Die Argentynse
Geenbewerkings Assosiasie is ook besoek. n
Besoek aan n fabriek waar Geenbewerking
planters vervaardig word, was ook op die
program. Die landbougrond in die Venado
Tuerto omgewing is van die beste ter wreld
en droland opbrengste gaan tot 14ton vir
mielies en 6 ton vir sojaboontjies.
n Plaas in die Embarcacin streek het ook vir
n leersame besoek gesorg. Die Argentynse
renval en hoogte bo seespiel is vergelykbaar
met die hoveld in Suid-Afrika. In die dorp
Embarcacin het die burgemeester en die
plaaslike landbougemeenskap n spesiale
onthaal vir die groep gehou.
Besoeke aan boontjie verwerkingsmaat-
skappye was baie insiggewend. Die plaaslike
tak van die Argentynse Instituut vir Landbou
Tegnol ogi e het ook met di e toergroep
vergader.
Daar was darem ook tyd vir n toeriste aktiwiteit
of twee. n Besoek aan die Iguaz watervalle
was n bel eweni s s Corri e. Daar i s
ondermeer met bote onderdeur die watervalle
gevaar. Daar is ook na tradisionele tango
danse gekyk. Die groep het selfs onverwags
op n landbouskou afgekom.
n Besoek aan die Braziliaanse kant van die
Iguaz watervalle het vir panoramiese uitsigte
gesorg. In Brazili is daar ook verskillende
organisasies in die graanbedryf besoek en die
verskille met Argentini kon duidelik gesien
word. Die produksiestyl en klimaat verskil
geweldig. Die style kon lekker met Suid-
Afikaanse sisteme vergelyk word.
By die Braziliaanse Landbounavorsings-
instituut het die boere meer geleer oor die
genetiese verbetering van bone. Daar is
verskillende plase in Brazili besoek waar dro
bone verbou word. n Dro bone verwerkings-
aanleg is ook besoek.
Die groep het dit geniet om n bio-energie
produksie aanleg te besoek. Die omgewing is
bekend vir sy suiker plantasies en groot bio-
etanol fabrieke is ontwikkel om as ondersteun-
ende energie te dien.
Die stad Sao Paulo is n bekende toeriste stad
en die groep Suid-Afrikaners het dit geniet om
die plek te verken voor hul vertrek terug na
Suid-Afrika. Cor en Corrie kan nie uitgepraat
raak oor wat hulle alles beleef het nie en glo
die ervaring sal hulle help om nie net beter te
boer nie, maar ook beter insette in die
omgewing te maak.

Dwarsrivier Mine
creates awareness
with career expo
On Friday last week more than 3000 matric learners from schools in
Sekhukhune attended a career expo hosted at Gobetse Secondary School.
One of the ways Dwarsrivier Mine invests in the future of the area is through
education. The mine is already involved with the Teach SA project that
provides assistance in schools. The career expo was just another step in
bringing opportunities to the youth of Greater Tubatse.
Tertiary education institutions such as the Tshwane University of Technology
(TUT), Tloga Tloga etloga kgale NPO, FET Colleges, Eskom and SK Fm were
involved with hosting exhibitions. The Department of Education and other
stakeholders also attended the days event.
Learners had the opportunity to find out about the requirements for further
study as well as bursary opportunities. Internships, bursaries and other aid
methods are available to students, but minimum academic requirements are
needed to ensure that students will succeed in their studies and have the
ability to qualify themselves as professionals in various careers.
The message of hope for these youngsters was echoed by messages of
encouragement to work hard and use education to create not only a better
life for themselves, but also their communities.
The Dwarsrivier Mine stall at the exhibition was very popular and students
wanted to know more about the opportunities within the mining industry.
Friendly Dwarsrivier employees assisted the learners and explained what
fields of study as well as academic achievements are needed to pursue a
career in the mining industry.
Dwarsrivier Mine will be hosting a similar event in the Thaba Chweu
Municipality this week.

HIV/Aids and TB Awareness
campaign in community
On 23 May 2014 Dwarsrivier Mine sponsored a special health campaign
at Ngwaabe Clinic. The day focused on HIV/Aids and TB Awareness.
LoveLife, the Aurum Institute, the SAPS, the Department of Health and
Social Development as well as other stakeholders attended the day.
The days theme was one of hope. Knowing your status brings hope to
your life as you will be able to seek the necessary medical assistance to
help you cope and overcome the obstacles TB and HIV/Aids bring.
Dwarsrivier Mines SD Manager, Mr Remember Mmbengwa led through
example when he was one of the first to get tested and know his status.
The day also included a commemorative candle lighting ceremony and
prayer with candles being placed in the form of a ribbon.
Apart from getting to know their HIV and TB status, the public could also
get help with other health issues such as blood glucose testing, blood
pressure testing and general health advice.
Health Awareness is a very important issue to Dwarsrivier Mine. Healthy
communities provide healthy employees. If the communities surrounding
a mine are healthy, the harvest of healthy adult achievers from the area
ensures a better future for everyone living in the community.
The day was well attended by young and old ensuring that the messages
delivered there will penetrate deep into the communities surrounding the
clinic.

Mr Frans Malapane, the chairperson of
the DYDEP thanked ECM and
Thorburn Security Solutions for their
generous support.
It is organisations like Eastern
Chrome Mine and Thorburn Security
who cares for our communities in
times of need that will be remembered
by the community members, he said.
Thorburn MD Dolf Scheepers thanked
ECM for their contribution with
Thorburn to ensure that the community
received maximum benefit. This
outreach formed part of Thorburns Ice
Breaker Projects to make the winter a little
warmer.
Mr Abel Magaba, the ECM Community

about what it is to be a Hero
through the visual Hero Boot
Camp. During this time, various
competitions will also be held
which will further emphasize the
true meaning of what it is to be
hero and promote active caring.

The results from these tests
give the employee an
overview of their general
wellness. Tubatse Chrome
cares for their employees
and encourage them to
participate in these days.

Registered Debt Counsellor & Administrator
(Reg No: NCRDC 487)
Office in Lydenburg now also open!
If you are having difficulty to pay all your bills, it
may be time to seek the help of a registered Debt
Counsellor.
The Debt Counsellor will assist you with drawing
up a budget that will still allow you to pay for liv-
ing expeses such as food and transport, but also
repay your debts. If necessary the Debt Counsel-
lor will on your behalf negotiate with the compa-
nies you owe money to get better repayment
rates. You will still have to repay the money you
owe, but it might be distributed over a longer
period of time so that you will be able to survive
with your income. Because you will have to repay
the debts it is important that you are still em-
ployed when seeking help. You will be required
Drowing in debt?
Acting now
could be the
best decision for
your future
Your home and car can be
saved fromreposession if you
seek help before it is too late
to make a payment to the Debt Counsellor who
will make sure that your money gets paid over to
the correct people. That is why it is important to
use a National Credit Regulator registered Debt
Counsellor. A registered Debt Counsellor will not
run off with your hard earned money and leave
you in deeper trouble. While you are under Debt
Review the bank will not be able to come and
simply repossess your house, vehicle or other
possessions. It is however important that you do
not wait until legal action is taken against you. If
legal action is in process against you for default-
ing on your payments, the Debt Counsellor will
not be able to prevent your possessions from
being repossessed.

All the news
first hand
Platinum Gazette will be bringing you all
the news from the Comrades Marathon in
next weeks issue.
Willem Montgomery is the newspapers
accredited correspondent for the race
and he will be watching the local athletes
as they compete in this race of ultimate
endurance.
Athletes and companies with participating
athletes are welcome to forward
photographs and results from the race to
the newspaper for next weeks issue.
Foward it to

This Sunday the Comrades Marathon will
again take its toll on many of the runners
participating. The friends and family of
runners who are in need of medical attention
at the Finish Venue Medical Tent will be
able to make use of the Medical Waiting
Area.
The Comrades Marathon Association (CMA)
has gone the extra mile by hosting its
Medical Waiting Area, a facility designed to
assist those people whose loved ones are
receiving medical attention in the Medical
Tent.
As a rule, only runners seeking medical care
are allowed in the Medical Tent, rendering
the area out of bounds to the greater public.
However, the CMAs Medical Portfolio has
gone beyond the realm of just the runner, by
taking the emotional needs of the runners
loved ones into account as well.
Concerned friends and family members of
the injured or ill runner may visit the General
Information Tent and apply for an entry
permit to access the Medical Waiting Area,
should they wish to enquire about the status
of the runner or request any medically
related advice.
Please note that access to the Medical
Tent by the general public will be firmly
restricted and the CMA asks that all
people be cooperative in this regard.
Tea, coffee, TV facilities and access to
certain medical staff will be available here.
Comrades Doctor, Dr Jeremy Boulter says,
It can be traumatic to have a friend or family
member be admitted to the Medical Tent.
We have therefore tried to make the
experience a little less stressful by creating
the Medical Waiting Area.
Dr Boulter adds, Sometimes its the little
things that count. The CMAs intention is
that the runners and their supporters enjoy a
memorable day without worry or stress. To
this end, we are doing our bit to make the
Comrades Finish Venue; and the Medical
Tent for that matter, that much more
accommodating.
Medical Waiting
Area created at
