Hawkers ready for new

dispensation
Hawkers in Burgersfort and Praktiseer are readying themselves to
move into the long awaited hakwers stalls that had been erected
in Praktiseer and Burgersfort and
they are full of confidence that the
move is imminent.
Chairman of the Tubatse Hawkers Association, Mr
Mphanga, told the newspaper
that in order to qualify for the possible allocation of a stall, people
must be registered. Registration
for Praktiseer hawkers happens
this week and next week, while
Burgersfort hawker registration
will take place next week.
People who registered with
the Hawkers Association (contact
Mr Lekwadu at 072 712 7735)
should then approach the Greater
Tubatse Municipality and pay
R120 for a hawkers permit.
Those hawkers who registered and paid for permits in 2013
should let their registration be
verified for new permits and they
need not pay again.
From 1 to 11 March this year
people who are not yet doing
business in Praktiseer or Burgersfort, will have the opportunity to
register should they want to start
hawking. All people will need a
green bar-coded ID for registration apart from the R120.
In the meantime it seems that
problems with the water line are
wiping out new hawker stalls at
an alarming rate (photograph),
and with that the towns communication systems are also impaired
as this week a bunch of Telkom
lines were also destroyed when
they tried to fix the water issue ...

DWARSRIVIER MINE
Supporting crime prevention in Sekhukhune

Crime prevenon starts with me

Members of Youth Against

Crime at the event.

On Thursday 11 February 2016 the

Makgane Sports Ground was a hive of
ac vity. A massive crime awareness
campaign took place with special performances from the South African Police Service (SAPS) between a long list
of speakers. The theme of the day was
Crime preven ons starts with me.
Dwarsrivier Mine was one of the days
sponsors and Ms. Tsakani Mkhabela
from Dwarsrivier Mine told the crowd
of school pupils and community
members that the mine is commi ed
towards helping to create safe and
healthy environments for the communi es around them. She encouraged
the learners to take responsibility in
line with the theme and not become
involved with criminal ac vi es, but
rather become part of a bright crime
free future where everyone works
together to keep communi es safe.
Apart from Dwarsrivier Mine and the
SAPS, speakers of the day included the
Community Policing Forum Chairperson, a representa ve of the Batau
Development Forum, Contralesa, the

Department of Jus ce, Department

of Home Aairs, Department of Social
Development, Department of Health,
Department of Educa on, Love Life,
LEDET, SASSA, Youth Against Crime,
Sekhukhune Taxi Associa on, a representa ve from the Tradi onal Healers,
Moral Regenera on and the Makhudathamaga Municipality. Maj Gen MJ
Maepa delivered the days keynote
address.
The group Youth Against Crime is one
of the ini a ves Dwarsrivier Mine is
suppor ng and the members showed
o their T-shirts and caps while making good use of the camera Dwarsrivier Mine donated to them with the
clothes.
Special performances by the SAPS
band, local groups and the SAPS
mounted unit gave balance to the
serious nature of the event - talking
about crime.
Dwarsrivier Mine and the other contributors to the day were thanked for
their con nuous support in the fight
against crime.

Do you have more

information?

The Police at Ohrigstad are investigating a murder case after they found a lifeless body of a 31
year-old-man dumped alongside the R555 road next to Maepa Village on Saturday 2016-02-13
at 05:00.
The Police received a call from a passer-by who alerted them about the person who was laying
on the side of the road opposite the Hannah Game Lodge entrance. On their arrival they
noticed that the person was not breathing and he was having two gun shot wounds, one on the
stomach and another on the right thigh. The Police called an ambulance from Leboeng EMS
who confirmed that the person was dead. Upon further investigation the Police found that the
man was from Riba Cross and he was shot during a hijacking at the gate of his home at Riba
Cross on Friday 2016-02-12 during which his vehicle, a VW Golf 7 was taken.
His lifeless body was then dumped at the R555 Ohrigstad road. A case of hijacking is also been
investigated by Tubatse SAPS, The Police are requesting anyone with information that can
lead to the arrest of the criminals to come forward or contact the investigating officer D/Warrant
Officer Masuku at 082 704 3943 or Const Phokane at 071 991 3354.

Good or bad - the new lanes

Motorists coming into Burgersfort last week Friday were suprised when they were
confronted with new road markings from the entrance to a new building up to the
Eland Street Dirk Winterbach traffic lights. The new lanes were are ultra narrow and
the right-turn lane at the traffic light seemed to be culled. To everybodys credit, motorists excelled in the excercise of organised chaos and everybody managed to arrive
safe. But will it work in the long term? As far as could be determined the contractor
who did the road markings did not understand the guidelines very well and the issue
will be revisted in the coming week.

Surviving the economic meltdown

South Africa is currently experiencing a very
difficult economic time and in Greater Tubatse it is being felt to the extreme as major role
players in the local mining industry prepares
to close their doors or scale down in an
attempt to survive.
The result is thousands of jobs being lost at
mining companies, contractors and related
industries. Even in the towns the slump is
evident with businesses complaining of fewer
feet and less spending.
The economic meltdown is a culmination of
various factors including (but not limited to)
a global economic slow down, large scale
community unrest and workforce strikes that
made doing business in a profitable manner
near impossible for large companies.
Platinum Gazette asked readers what they
think people should do to survive this meltdown in the economy.

Mr Vincent Tshabalala said: People who are

losing their jobs can start their own businesses or should be willing to work for a small
salary just to survive. They can do things like
selling fruit and vegetables anything that
will bring money in.

Ms. Modiegi Mohoaduba, Ms. Pinky Malata and Ms Monicca Maisela said: People should
now start businesses like cooking and selling pap & vleis. They must cut their expenses and
if they get money in retrenchment packages they should invest some of it. They can also start
businesses like plumbing and electrician services. They can maybe also employ people in
these businesses. They will earn less than at the mines or with contractors, but they will eventually get somewhere. If they dont do this people will only get involved in crime.

Mr Joel Sekhu said: People must be willing

to work for less money rather than losing
their jobs because the business cannot
afford to continue. They must not fight for
more money or government must not force
business to pay more than they can afford
because it will just close the businesses
down. If businesses close we dont have anything. No income. Now we are struggling, but
one day things will go better again and then
people can get paid more again.

Ms Sbongile Maripane said: We must start

our own businesses. We must start manufacturing toiletpaper. We can also apply for help
from government when starting our businesses.

Me. Lizzie Roetz s: Mense moet op hul

knie gaan en repent en leiding en hulp
by God en nie die regering gaan soek nie.
People should forgive and forget what I want
and focus on what God wants and obey 2
Cronicals 7:14 that states if my people, who
are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn
from their wicked ways, then I will hear from
heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will
heal their land. People will be astounded as
to what will happen with nature, the economy
and our country.

Links: Mnr. Danil Kgotle s: Mense sal nou

moet aanvaar wat hulle betaal word al is dit
min. n Halwe brood is beter as niks. Mense
moet nou harder werk vir minder geld. Dit lyk
my mense dink soms geld kan soos klippe in
die veld opgetel word. Mense moet onthou
dat al is apartheid deur wit mense gedoen, is
nie alle wit mense so nie. Die regering moet
weer die wit mense terugbring sodat hulle
kan help om ons ekonomie reg te kry. Daar
is mense wat bang is dit sal dan weer raak
soos in apartheid, maar dit sal nie. Dinge is
nou anders. Kyk net hoeveel plase wat swart
mense gekry het lewer nou niks. Waar is die
hoenders en tarentale? Daar is nou niks van
enige iets daar nie.

Ms. Lorraine Mjekula and Ms. Patricia Maroga said: People who are losing their jobs will
have difficulty starting their own businesses, but if they work hard they can do it. It will however put pressure on those of us already suffering due to an oversupply in the market. People
must be willing to settle for less money as long as they get something and can put food on the
table. Well also have to teach our kids to save money. Kids will now have to learn that brands
are not important. South Africas money went down with the passing of tata Mandela. It just
went with him. With them is Gift Mjekula.

Links: Ms Sabina
Mpinga and Ms
Hunadi Makwana
said: People must
start their own small
businesses because
then at least they
will survive. Selling
things like veggies.
They must use their
retrenchment money
to buy bakkies and
start small businesses. People must be
willing to do anything
to earn money.

NUUS

- your plans and advice

Mr Joel Hlatswayo said: People should be

willing to settle for smaller salaries and work
hard just to survive. Not everyone can have
their own business. When the economy picks
up again the salaries will increase again. It is
impossible for everyone to open a business.
Who will buy from who if we all have shops?

Ms Naoma Kgomoesoana said: People

should start their own businesses. That
means that everything you earn as an entrepreneur is yours. Every cent is yours. People
will also work hard if it is for themselves. In
our area they can do things like start selling
paint, sell vegetables and make clothes.

Ms Linkie Mothapo, Mr Service Moropane and Mr Gilbert Skhulu said: As entrepreneurs

we face the same challenges in the economy as everyone else. People should reduce their
expenses and be willing to settle for a smaller salary for now. You have to look at the bigger
picture. You just need to survive. We hope this economic meltdown is a passing thing.

Mr William Tonga said: People depend too

much on the mines. We must go farming.
Even if there is drought farming is still an
option. We can live off small farms and sell
some fruit and vegetables in town.

Mr Godfrey Hlongwa said: It is challenging.

Somewhere government is letting us down.
The problem lies at the top. Zuma must fall.
Look what he did to the Finance Ministers. It
is not ok. Many people are losing their jobs at
the mines as they close. The days of big pay
are over. Everyone must be willing to start
small and earn small to survive and grow
from there.

Mr Clifford Phasha said: Minimise costs.

There is nowhere to go where it will be better.
Everything is falling apart. We cannot rely on
government to provide, we need to have our
own plans. We must do things for ourselves
like selling on the streets so we can live.

Mnr. Jaune ONeill s: Alle unies moet

weggevat word. Dit is as gevolg van hulle
strikes dat die myne moet toemaak. Mense
sal nou bereid moet wees om vir minder geld
te werk.

Mr Kaizer Mgiba, Mr Simon Mzimba and Mr Karel Moraba said: People who are losing their
jobs at the mines should start businesses with their severance packages. They must not just
take the money and drink it all out. We must try hard to do something for ourselves. There
is no place to move to that will be better. We see people from Johannesburg coming here
looking for jobs as there are no jobs there either. We cant go anywhere better. People must
support each other so that the small businesses can survive. We have hope that things will
get better again.

Mnr. Doctor Masinga s: Ons gaan in die

moeilikheid wees. Ons sal moet plase kry.
Mense moet hulle retrenchment geld bymekaarsit en grond koop. Ons moet boer. Ons
moet dinge plant en daarvan leef en van dit
verkoop. Ons moet koeie, hoenders en n
tractor koop. Mense moet nie bang wees vir
hard werk nie. Ons moet ook bid tot God vir
ren. Sonder God kan ons niks doen nie.
Kyk hoe baklei hulle by die parlement! Ons
moet vir onsself sorg en nie vir die regering
wag nie. Die regering moet oppas, honger
mense steel!

Mr Kuziva Nyamurowa said: People must

start cutting on expenses. This is not a time
for luxuries and debt. Clear the debt you
have. People should start their own business
if possible or settle for what is on the table in
terms of salaries. A smaller salary at a small
company is better than nothing. People are
able to adjust to less money as they learn to
live according to their income. Perhaps you
dont need a second or very expensive car?

Accident free year for

Ohrigstad Taxi Association
Arrive alive taken serious. This is what the
Ohrigstad Taxi Association did in order to
achieve an accident free year.
On Sunday 14 February the Ohrigstad
Taxi Association and the Ohrigstad SAPS
held a function at the Ohrigstad taxi rank in
celebration of the achievement. The associations vehicles had not been involved in
a serious accident for the past year.
The event was organised by the Ohrigstad Taxi Association and it was attended
by taxi owners, magoshi, pastors, NGOs,
the SAPS and members of the community
in the Ohrigstad and Leboeng area.
The SAPS took the opportunity to
address vehicle owners, drivers and the
community about safety issues. The Ohrigstad SAPS station commissioner Capt
Mashego encouraged people to make use

of public transport like the Ohrigstad taxis

who operate responsibly.
She also appealed to taxi owners to
assist the elderly who participate in Stokvel
with safe transport to the banks with large
sums of money. The elderly often become
robbery victims on their way to or from the
bank.
The taxi owners advised their clients in
the presence of their drivers to rather be
honest and ask the driver for transport if
you short a rand or two instead of trying to
get a lift from strangers. The taxi owners
told commuters that they are there to assist them and work together to fight crime
and a safe environment in the transport
industry.
