Dire

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary describes the meaning of the word ‘dire’ as : very bad : causing great

fear or worry: warning of disaster : showing a very bad future. Ohrigstad Dam was this week 8.4 percent

full and the animals around the dam almost permanently converge around the water still left in the reser-

voir. The dam’s level is a stark reminder of the current difficult times, with rising inflation, struggling farm-

ers, steep food and fuel price hikes and political turmoil, combined with the slump in the mining industry

and local job losses. This winter will be very long ...

Atlatsa Resources expects to complete the operational and financial restructure of itsBokoni mine between Burgersfort and Polokwane at Atok, by the second quarter of thisyear.

The company, which on Thursday reported a basic and diluted loss a share of C$0.30for the year ended December 31, compared with a loss of C$0.05 in the prior year, notedthat the primary objective of the restructure plan was to enable Bokoni to endure a pro-longed period of depressed platinum group metals (PGM) prices by reducing the mine’scost structure and increasing production of higher-grade ore from underground opera-tions.

To ensure the future sustainability of Bokoni Mine, the Company announced on Sep-tember 16, 2015 implementation of an operational and financial restructure plan at theiMine. The primary objective of the Restructure Plan is to enable Bokoni Mine to endure aprolonged period of depressed PGM commodity prices, by reducing its existing cost struc-ture and increasing production volumes of higher grade ore from underground operations.

In reviewing the overhead structures of the Company, Atlatsa has reduced its ag-

gregate monthly corporate office operating costs by at least R1 million per month on asustainable basis. The monthly management fee payable by Bokoni Mine to Atlatsa hasalso been reduced by 11%. Bokoni Mine had issued a Section 189 (3) notice to relevantparties pursuant to Section 189A of the South African Labour Relations Act, 1995 (Act No66 of 1995). The company management announced that a retrenchment agreement wassigned by all recognised labour unions on February 8, 2016.

Bokoni Mine’s labour complement reduced by 8.0% from 6 101 as at December 31,2014 to 5 613 as at December 31, 2015. The reduction is made up of a 13.4% decreasein contractors and a 4.3% decrease in own-mine employees. Mine management is cur-rently engaged in a redeployment process post signature of the retrenchment agreement,after which, retrenchment of certain employees who cannot be redeployed could takeplace. The Restructure Plan targets a total labour complement of approximately 3,500employees for Bokoni Mine.

As at December 31, 2015, the Restructure Plan was underway and is anticipatedto be fully completed by Q2 2016. To date, on base cost calculated from August 2015,operational costs have reduced by 15% on average per month, which was achieved by asubstantial reduction in the labour force.

On completion of the Restructure Plan and the current ramp-up phase, Bokoni Minewill be better positioned from both a unit cost and cash flow perspective, as it will:

• operate from two shaft complexes as opposed to the current four shaft system,thereby reducing costs associated with logistics and support services;

• reduce its aggregate operating costs by moving from older, higher cost shaftoperations to lower cost, new generation and more efficient shaft operations;

• access higher grade Merensky mining areas at its new generation Brakfonteinshaft complex;

• reduce overall sustaining capital expenditure at its new generation shaft complexes; and significantly reduce its project capital expenditure.

MarulaPlatinum

MineMembers of the public order policing unit have been de-ployed to Burgersfort after community members attackedImpala Platinum’s Marula mine on Sunday evening.

Police spokesperson Conel Ronel Otto told nationsalmedia that the unit patrolled the area after the incident. Noarrests had been made yet.

Impala spokesperson Johan Theron said that one of thecables leading to a ventilation shaft had been cut during the

protest and that a guard house had also been damaged.Theron said the vandalism had taken place at aroundmidnight.

He added that the mine’s operations were not affected.He said the mine had engaged with community leaders

but they did not know who was responsible for the attack orwhat their demands were.

As far as could be determined, the community protestagainst the mine was inter alia about employment.

6 NEWS

Last week President Jacob Zuma’s conduct

with regards to his handling of the Public Pro-

tector’s report and recommendations dealing

with his Nkandla home upgrades came under

scrutiny again. Opposition parties took the

matter to the Constitutional Court to clarify if

the President undermined the constitution.

Zuma’s oath of office as president of SouthAfrica includes swearing to “obey, observe,

uphold and maintain the Constitution and

all other Law of the Republic”. Opposition

parties celebrated victory when the ruling

found that Zuma did not fully act in honour of

the constitution.

The body of the Constitutional Court’s

judgment contained the following statement:

“The President thus failed to uphold, defend

and respect the Constitution as the supreme

law of the land. This failure is manifest from

the substantial disregard for the remedial ac-

tion taken against him by the Public Protector

in terms of her constitutional powers.”

There is however a fine line with the

different sections of the Constitution’s inter-

pretations. The presidency was quick to point

this out. They issued a statement saying:“The Presidency wishes to correct media

reports wrongly stating that the judgement by

the Constitutional Court found that President

Jacob Zuma had broken his oath of office.

The Constitutional Court did not make such a

declaratory order.

“In fact, whereas the counsel for the EFF,

the Applicant, specifically asked for the Con-

stitutional Court to declare that the President

had acted in violation of his oath of office, the

Constitutional Court did not grant a declara-

tory order in those terms.”

Instead, the Presidency said, the Con-

stitutional Court ruled that Zuma’s failure “to

comply with the remedial action taken against

him, by the Public Protector in her report of

19 March 2014, is inconsistent with section

83(b) of the Constitution read with sections

181(3) and 182(1)(c) of the Constitution andis invalid”. This they said means that Zuma

did not break his oath of office.

On Friday evening Zuma apologized to

the nation on national television.

On Tuesday members of parliament from

opposition parties aimed for the removal of

the President through an impeachment vote.

The DA brought the motion, but this failed by

243 votes to 133 in the National Assembly.

For the motion to pass more than 100 ANC

MPs would have had to vote with the opposi-

tion to push the vote in favour of the removal

to 260.

Platinum Gazette asked readers what

they think about this whole issue.

Impeachment is a formal process inwhich an official is accused of unlawful

activity, the outcome of which, depend-

ing on the country, may include the

removal of that official from office as well

as criminal or civil punishment.

What is impeachment?

Mr Timothy Maebela and Mr Tetelo Serage said: “Zuma must fall! He must go. For the future

of our economy he should go. We lost hope because of Zuma. The ANC should have voted to

replace him. We support #zuptamustfall”

Mr Smowkey Nyembe said: “I’m not a member of any political party. Our economy is going

down the drain. They promised us democratic power. Now we need economic freedom. The

way things are going now we are becoming a Zimbabwe. I support #zumamustfall”. With him

is his wife Thando Nyembe.

Mr Jan Mapote said: “Zuma had his chance.

He should step down and give someone

else a chance. The ANC lost a chance for

improvement when they voted like they did in

parliament”.

Mr Andrew Komane and Ben Shaku said: “We must replace Zuma because the ANC is mak-

ing our economy go down. This causes the mines to close and people lose their jobs”. Mnr.

Shaku voeg by: “Die ou apartheid government was beter. Toe was daar meer werk en die kos

en petrol was goedkoper. Hierdie storie wat ons nou sien is erg. Daai tyd het ons nog lekker

gelewe. Hierdie lelike goed van mense wat ander mense se trokke brand en so het ons nie

gesien nie. Nou soek ons ‘n government met witmense. Mense wat sal sorg dat ons beter

werk kry. Dat Eskom beter sal wees. Nou kom ons in die aand by die huis en daar is nie krag

nie. Ons wil back to die ou government”.

Links: Mnr. Arthur Loubser sê: “Hulle maak ‘n

klug van die grondwet. Enige mens kan sien

hulle doen verkeerd. Almal van hulle is op die

soustrein, so hulle sal hom nie uitstem nie.

Die ANC gaan teen die verkiesing spyt wees

hieroor. Mense se oë gaan oop”.

Right: Ms Angie Mohlabine said: “The ANC

is good, but we don’t want Jacob Zuma as

President. They must give us someone else.

I don’t trust him as my President”.

Mr Jacob Mashigo said: “The court did not

rule he committed a serious offense so there

is no valid reason for him to go. The ANC

voted the right way in parliament. They will

follow their internal process to deal with the

matter further”.

Mr Enos Makwana said: “Zuma must step

down. It is now the right time for him to step

down. Nkosasana Dlamini Zuma is the candi-

date to replace him. The ANC should have let

him go yesterday (Tuesday). It will affect the

election if they don’t replace Zuma”.

Mr Gospel Hlungwane said: “It is time for Zuma to step down. Instead

of helping the suffering people of South Africa he took the money for

his home. It is time for him to go. The ANC will regret this. I think all

the top dogs in the ANC will do things like this. I think we must votefor change to get things better”. With him is Ms Cindy Lushaba and

Destiny.

Left: Mr Patson Sekgobe-

la said: “The ANC made a

big mistake. They should

have removed that man a

long time ago. He made a

mistake and they should

have removed him before

the Constitutional Court

ruling. This will cause

them to lose a lot of votes

in the election. I am a

member of the ANC, but

they did wrong. Look at

the fiasco with the finance

ministers. Investors don’t

trust us. The sooner they

remove him as president

the better”. With him is

Thulani.

Mr Thomas Mdluli said: “He should go as

president. Zuma can easily repeat what he

did and think he can just apologize”. With

him is Owami.

Ms Miriam Mogakana, Ms Nkareng Mogakala and Ms Sophy Mashaba said: “Zuma must step down. He must go.

Now that we all agree he did wrong, he wants to apologise! He must rather step down. It is not right what he did”.

Me. Janina Cloete sê: “Hy moet gaan. Hy is

oor sy tyd. Die ANC gaan spyt wees hulle het

hom as president gehou. Ons kan hom nie

vertrou nie”.

Left: Mr Godfrey

Nyathi said: “Zuma

must leave as

President. I think heshould go to jail for

this. He lied to our

country. The friends

he has protect him

and that is why they

voted like they did

in parliament. They

are also corrupt. This

will be our country’s

downfall. Investors

flee because of him. I

support #zumamust-

go”.

Right: Mr Nash

Malatji said: “The

ANC should sit

down and make

major decisions. It

was not the right

thing to keep him as

President. They will

be sorry when the

elections come. The

people want some-

one they can trust”.

Left: Mr NathanModipa said: “It is

time for someone

else to step in. So far

Zuma has brought us

nothing. We’ve been

promised jobs and

other things, but it

did not come. People

are now losing their

jobs at the mines. It

is a huge mistake by

the ANC yesterday

(Tuesday). They

should have let him

go and voted for a

new President”.

Ms Ivy Mabalane said: “He apologized so

the people must give him a chance. He must

not go because if he goes we will not get the

SASSA child grants. He gives us the SASSA

child grants. It is good he is still the Presi-

dent”.

Mr Collen Mdluli said: “The President knew

very well they were using taxpayers’ money

for Nkandla. He should step down. What kind

of President is he? To save their image theANC should replace him. We want a presi-

dent that will rule this country properly”.

Left: Mr Harry Motena said: “Zuma must step

down. The ANC must give us someone else.

I am an ANC supporter, but Zuma must step

down. Give another person the chance to

lead”.

Right: Mr Jabulani Lubisi said: “The ANC ismaking a big mistake to protect him. Zuma

must go. We like to have someone we can

trust. I think the DA should take over now”.

Steelpoort Akademie het ‘n besige eerste

kwartaal agter die rug.

Hul leiers is net voor skool gesluit het

deur hul leiervoogde, Juf. Colleen Lan-

guage en Juf. Joanel Potgieter bederf na

‘n lang en besige eerste kwartaal. Die

leiers het hierdie jaar letterlik en figuurlik

splinternuwe baadjies aangetrek. Hul

hoofdoel in 2016 is dienslewering aan dieskool, mede leerders, personeel en aan

die gemeenskap. Hulle is in ses groepe

verdeel: Akademies, Sport, Kultureel,

Omgewing, Sosiaal en Welwillendheid.

Die eerste diens wat die leiers in 2016

gelewer het was om die ‘Mind Moves

Instituut’, wat op die skool se perseel

geleë is, te vernuwe. Olga Gouws is ‘n

voltydse personeellid van Mind Moves, sy

werk daagliks met leerders om hul lees,

konsentrasie en algehele akademiese

prestasies te verbeter. Die leiers het ‘n

Saterdag spandeer om die baan uit te lê

en om die wikkelbruggie op te rig waaroor

al die leerders van die skool daagliks kan

beweeg.

In Februarie het hulle ‘n baie suk-

sesvolle Valentynsdag sokkie aangebied.

Hul derde takie verlede kwartaal was in

samewerking met die Kohin werkers. Leerd-

ers het een middag Mangabane Primary

School gaan besoek. Hulle het ‘n Wendy

huis wat by die skool gebruike word geverf

en vervraai. Terselfdetyd het hulle na die

leerders en leiers van die skool uitgereik en

liedjies gesing en gekuier.

Die leiergroep beplan nog baie dien-

sleweringstakies vir die tweede kwartaal.

Die Laeveld Ratels nooi graag die publiek uit

Veldskiet by PLM vir jagtersOp 16 April 2016 bied die SA Jagters Bos-

bok-Tak en CVO Burgersfort

Bied ‘n veldskiet geleentheid aan.

Die jagseisoen is om die draai, en Jagters

en skuts is hard besig om te oefen en

hulself voor te berei.

Jagters en skuts in die omgewing het

gevra dat meer skiet-aksies geloots word,

om hulle gereed te kry vir die komende

jagseisoen en die wat die skietsport beoe-

fen.

Die idee agter Veldskiet is om jag om-

standigehede te simuleer, sodat die jagter

en skut beter voorbereid is wanneer daar

gejag of geskiet word. Ook vir die wat se

begroting dit nie aldag toelaat nie, om op

papier te jag.

Teikens van Vlakvark, Rooibok, Blouwil-

debees en Springbok word op verskillen-

de afstande opgestel en skuts skiet van

posisies wat onder jagomstandighede

ondervind sou word. Dan word daar ook

op twee ghong bane geskiet. Die ghong is n

staal sirkel met ‘n deursnee van 20cm, om

die teiken area van diere voor te stel.

Die Bosbok tak van die SA Jagters in

samewerking met CVO Skool hou Saterdag

16 April 2016 die skietdag by PLM Boerdery

Burgersfort.

Die volgende tabelle gaan geskiet word:

R1000 per span inskrywing – Veldskiet (5 x

On Saturday 2 April 2016, the Tubatse Mas-

ters soccer team visited a local soccer team

in Driekop for a friendly soccer match.

In the first half the hosts dominated the ball

possession and both teams failed to score.

In second half the Masters came back very

strong and managed to score four goals.

The Comrades Marathon Association

(CMA) has announced that two Top 10

finishers in the 2015 Comrades Marathon

Men’s Race have been suspended.

CMA Race Director, Rowyn

James has advised that Jo-

seph Mphuthi and Sandile

Ngunuza who claimed the

6th and 9th positions respec-

tively at last year’s Com-

rades Marathon have been

suspended by the national

drug testing authority, the

South African Institute for

Drug-Free Sport (SAIDS).

This is with immediate

effect for two years. Ac-cordingly, they will not be

allowed to participate in the

Comrades Marathon until

completion of their suspen-

sions.

This ruling comes in the wake of a powerful

warning to potential cheats recently issued

by CMA General Manager, Chris Fisher.

Fisher issued a cautionary notice to all

runners, saying that the issue of alleged

cheating will be vigorously addressed.

Provincial athletics body, KwaZulu-Natal

Athletics (KZNA) has agreed to partner with

the CMA to put an end to the unsportsman-

like conduct. The two organisations are

collaborating and will make use of addition-

The hosts replied with one goal to make the

final score 4-1 in favour of Tubatse Masters.

al technologies to highlight irregularities in

future Comrades Marathons.

The CMA has stated that other forms of

cheating, including supplying false infor-

mation or not running

the full race distance

will in future be dealt

with in a similar

fashion by the KZNA

Disciplinary Commit-

tee.

Fisher said that race

officials, marshals,

volunteers and nearly

twenty thousand

runners will all be

encouraged to be onthe lookout to expose

any cheats at this

year’s Comrades

Marathon on Sunday,

29 May 2016.

The CMA has further advised that it,

together with KZNA reserve the right to

request that the South African Institute for

Drug-Free Sport implements blood tests

as opposed to urine tests, where deemed

necessary.

The 91st Comrades Marathon will be the

45th down-run in Comrades history, starting

outside the Pietermaritzburg City Hall at

05h30 and finishing 12 hours later at the

Sahara Kingsmead Cricket Stadium.
