Mandela Day - election tool or not? Your views on pages 6 and 7

A burnt truck (one of several) gets lifted from the tarred road after it was torched in a local village last week. The fact that nowadays little if any publicity is given to protests, of which this event formed part, does not mean it doesn’t happen. The reasons are not always clear, but the destruction should be viewed as regrettable. Not nice.

With winter in full force after an exceptional dry summer, dam levels across the country remain critical. The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) says according to the latest 4th of July dam level assessment; there was a decrease of 0.2% to 53% as opposed to the 74.6% level during the same time last year.

However, it is encouraging to note that the South African Weather Service (SAWS) seasonal outlook forecasts indicate an increased likelihood of a weak to moderate La Niña for the 2016/17 summer.

The SAWS forecast predicts the likelihood of a later than normal onset of summer rains with a series of frontal systems expected to continue over the South and Western Cape in the next couple of weeks.

There has been a decline in average dam levels in all provinces with the exception of the North West with a slight increase of 0.4% and the Western Cape whose levels increased by 4.2% as a result of the most recent frontal systems. The Western Cape levels have increased by 12.4% over the past three weeks and are now at 42.7% compared with 48.7% at the same time last year.

Dams remain at critical levelsOf the 211 dams being monitored on a weekly basis 14 dams

are below 10%, 64 dams are below 40% of capacity while 16 of the dams are at 100%. As a result there is a need to continue to intensify enforcement of restrictions during winter to prevent a spike in usage during early spring and also in anticipation of the predicted later onset of the summer rains.

The DWS continues to monitor dam levels and wishes to reassure all water users that it is working closely with provinces, municipalities and other specialists to ensure sustainable water security across the country.

Meanwhile the Offi ce of the Executive Mayor of Sekhukune Distrit

issued the following statement about the local situation:

“RE: EMINENT SHORTAGE OF WATER SUPPLY DUE TO DROUGHT AFFECTING FLAG BOSHIELO DAM AND OLIPHANTSPOORT SCHEME” This communique serves to alert commu-nities, businesses and stakeholders about implementation and enforcement of water restrictions within the areas of Ephriam Mogale Local Municipality ( Flag Boshielo Dam) and Fetakgomo Local Municipality ( Oliphantspoort Scheme) due to drought that has severely affected the dam levels of the affected areas.

Department of Water and Sanitation has sent a warning to the Municipality as well as our water provider, Lepelle Northern Water about reduction of raw water to both Flag Boshielo and Oliphantspoort schemes result-ing in reduction of supply of potable water to the two affected areas of Ephraim Mogale and Fetakgomo municipalities

Currently the situation is such that the dam levels at Flag Boshielo has dropped tre-mendously below 27% and continue to drop at faster rate. There is a huge possibility of the dam becoming dry if rain is not received by August 2016. The situation of Flag Boshie-lo Dam has a direct negative bearing on areas supplied by Oliphantspoort scheme.

To this effect the municipality working together with Lepelle Northern Water and Department of Water and Sanitation will roll out a drought awareness campaign to inform the communities about the situation and its implications.

We appeal to our communities, busi-nesses and other users to sparingly use the available water and also ensure that water loss is eliminated. Activities which consume lots of clean water such as gardening, car washes, should be minimised. Households are also encouraged to practice prudent us-age of water such as taking shorter showers, closing taps after use etc.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this and further call on your full cooperation and support.

Psalm 34 (NIV)7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.8 Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.9 Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing.10 The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

Roadhog on the goPeople die in accidents on the R555 and R37 every week.Sadly this fact do not prevent other drivers from behaving like roadhogs. This driver

fi rst pushed other vehicles from the road before overtaking some more vehicles on a barrier line. These photographs were taken last week Friday around noon.

New councillors for GTMThe Greater Tubatse Municipal Council held a special council meeting on Monday 11 July 2016 at Thaba Moshate. The agenda contained a few items and one of these were the welcoming of three new councillors.

Local attorney, Mr Kenny Mgiba handled the taking of the oath of offi ce for the three. They are Shema Thabo Marobane (PAC), Edwin Eddie Maila (ANC) and Ntombi Zodwa Eunica Makhubedu (UDM). The three signed the oath and were welcomed with loud applause.

During a section on the agenda for con-gratulations, special mention was made of the Mampuru Youth who did not participate in illegal protest action last week. They were thanked for their co-operation in refraining from disruptive be-haviour regarding community grievances.

The municipality was also congratulated for being chosen by SABC’s Morning Live for a live broadcast. This covered Greater Tubatse and took place on Tuesday.

DWARSRIVIER MINESMME Incubation Certifi cation Ceremony

SMME incubates graduateOn Thursday, 7 July 2016 a large group of SMME incubates graduated during a ceremony at Jorge Resort near Steelpoort. In a con nued eff ort from Dwarsrivier Mine to empower communi es and create opportuni es, they’ve partnered with LEDA and Tsebo Business Solu ons to create tailor-made

courses through which SMMEs can learn how to do business with large companies such as mines. The idea for the incuba on was born a er Dwars-rivier Mine found that many local entrepreneurs have the skills needed to produce products or services the mine can use, but they

don’t know how to put together a business plan, do invoicing, tender, create a company profi le or have the legally required cer fi ca on that will allow them to do business. Co-opera ves and other small businesses were given the chance to receive training through LEDA and Tsebo Business Intelligence Services. This stretched over a year and now these incubates have a cer fi cate to show their competency. These skills will not only allow them to do work with Dwarsriv-ier Mine, but also tender at other mines and companies. They will now also have the ability to plan and in turn create jobs in an area where unemployment is very prevalent. Mr Remember Mmbengwa from Dwarsrivier Mine told the incubates that the Mine is very proud of how far they’ve come and that they should set out to grow their businesses to not only do business at Dwarsrivier but at other companies as well. A group of the SMMEs also received computers sponosored by Dwarsrivier Mine to assist them with ge ng their business off the ground.The programme will now con nue with a new batch on incu-bates.

Dwarsrivier Mine sponsored computers that will assist some of the SMMEs to get their business running smoothly.

A variety of speakers fi lled the programme before the formal handing over of cer fi cates and the computers. The event ended with a warm lunch being served while the incu-bates used the opportunity to network.

There were LEDA and Tsebo Incubates.

On 18 July 2016 it will be Mandela Day and the public is encouraged to give 67 minutes of their time to make a difference in their communities.

This is an initiative by the Mandela Foun-dation and aims to keep the spirit of Nelson Mandela alive through encouraging people to work together for the greater good of the people as a whole.

According to Mandeladay.com “Nelson Mandela International Day was launched in recognition of Nelson Mandela’s birthday on 18 July, 2009 via unanimous decision of the UN General Assembly.

It was inspired by a call Nelson Mandela made a year earlier, for the next generation to take on the burden of leadership in ad-dressing the world’s social injustices when he said that “it is in your hands now”.

It is more than a celebration of Madiba’s life and legacy. It is a global movement to honour his life’s work and act to change the world for the better”.

The focus falls on four different areas in which a difference can be made: Education and Literacy, Food Security, Shelter and Infrastructure as well as the Envrionment. Businesses are encouraged to get involved in one of these areas.

Giving can be in many forms. Donations, but also time. By participating in events that are organized by institutions such as the local municipality, you can also give you bit to make a difference. On 18 July Greater Tubatse Municipality will have campaigns in Steelpoort, Riba Cross and Dresden. (See their Mandela Month event schedule on page 2 of this newspaper).

If you know of somebody who is making a difference in the community every day you can nominate them as a Madiba change-maker. Share their story on social media via #Time2Serve.

Platinum Gazette asked readers if they think that Mandela Day is still relevant and if they will be participating in any events on the day.

Mnr. Terrence Roberts sê: “Suid-Afrika is in sy dinges in so 67 minute op 18 Julie gaan nie help nie. Elke dag behoort almal te pro-beer om ‘n verskil te maak”.

Mnr Doctor Machipa sê: “Ons moet dit celebrate. Ek sal sien waar ek kan volunteer. Mandela het Suid-Afrika verander en op Mandela Dag moet dié wat korrup is onthou wat hy gedoen het en die korrupsie los”.

Mr Nicholas Mabunela said: “It is still relevant and very important. Mandela fought for us and we must remember that he sat a long time in jail because he wanted a democratic life for everyone. But, you must see how the different political parties will now hijack Mandela Day for themselves. The people must remember to focus on the real things that are important on Mandela Day – making a difference for the better. I’ll be joining the municipality’s campaign”.

Mr Stephen Sihlangu and Mr Aron Mphogo said: “Mandela Day is still important because he brought democracy to South Africa and we should remember that. We will form part of a cleaning campaign for 67 minutes”.

Mr Daniel Sekano said: “Mandela Day is good and relevant. We do it for the legend and to help other people. Our government however is failing us. Now they use Mandela Day to hide things. They are like crocodiles who are smiling but just waiting to eat you. They should not wait for Mandela Month to hand over projects that should have been completed long ago. Now it is also just before the elections so they do this to make themselves look good while they are an embarrassment for taking so long to deliver on these things. We need change. We should do good things every day. I try to help the or-phans at the Riba Cross Civil Society. There is no better South Africa without kids”.

Ms Elizabeth Thobejane and Ms Maggy Komane said: “It is important that we remember Nel-son Mandela. We’ll try and have a small cake to celebrate, but otherwise we will just be here at our stall selling fruit”.

Ms Tryphina Lekwadu said: “We should cele-brate Mandela Day, it is still relevant. I’ll clean in our municipality, but people should do nice things every day. It is important”.

Mr Ronnie Nkambule said: “I think Mandela Day should be a continuous thing because there is a need for something to be done every day in our community”.

Mnr. Tersius Cronjé sê: “Ek steur my nie reg-tig aan Mandela Dag nie. Jy moet elke dag ‘n verskil maak. Dis soos Moedersdag. Ek sê altyd vir my kinders dat jy elke dag vir jou ma moet sê jy is lief vir haar en haar moet waardeer”.

Mr Abram Mphogo said: “On the 18th the day has been set aside for painting one of the crèches around here as part of the Burgers-fort Crime Prevention Forum’s (CPF) effort. I am the chairperson of the forum. It is very important that we do this. We should honour Mandela for the good work he did. We must show people we care”.

Mr Mankgwanyane Mpuru said: “It is necessary to have Mandela Day. He has been the hero and mentor for so many years. The ones doing corruption and other bad things do not imitate Mandela. They are cruel. In my area where I am part of the community leadership (Maandag-shoek – Mpuru Village) we will gather to celebrate and do something together”. With him is Ms Ivy Mpuru

Mr Rackson Chiloane said: “We should use this day to address problems like corruption. We call for the youth to stop doing drugs etc. We should focus on schools and use 67 min-utes to address problems like crime, burning of roads and damaging property. I am an educator, so I’ll be busy doing this at school”.

Mnr. Willem Montgomery sê: “Om ‘n verskil te maak behoort nie net een keer ‘n jaar se ding te wees nie. Dit moet ‘n lewenswyse wees”.

Ms Sophy Mphethi and Ms Keletso Mphethi said: “Yes, it is still important to celebrate Man-dela Day because he fought for us. It is good to remember what he stood for while there is so much corruption going on. We’ll be doing cleaning on Mandela Day”.

Mr Sammy Masite, Ms Kate Mohubedu, Mr Noah Mohlala and Mr Thabiso Kgolane said: “It is important. It is for everyone to celebrate Mandela Day. It is about giving to those who don’t have. It can be anything. What is important is to remember that someone did something for the whole South Africa without thinking about himself. Everyone should do something to make South Africa a better place and care for other people. It encourages us to not only think of our-selves. We are still planning what we will do, but we will defi nitely do something”. Mr Masite added: “I’ll be giving away a bursary to someone”.

Ms Sabina Mpinga said: “It is still relevant to have Mandela Day because we need to remem-ber Mandela and care for our country and people. I’ll go to my nearest school and clean for 67 minutes. I’ll also donate some food to someone in need”. With her is Ms Hunadi Makwana.

Mr Morudi Mashabela said: “I’ll celebrate Mandela Day because Mandela brought de-mocracy to our country. I’ll volunteer to paint a school on Mandela Day. Everyone should work for the country and the people. There should be no corruption. Politicians and pub-lic offi cials should know they do not work for themselves. They should work for the people. They should not fi ll their pockets. Everyone has the responsibility to make a difference. Politicians - we elect you, so you work for us and not yourself. We must also work together to make South Africa better”.

Mr Thabo Mohlala said: “Yes, it is relevant. We should remember what Mandela did for charity and the freedom of our country and freedom of speech. I’ll assist with painting a school at Riba Cross”.

will you be doing for 67 minutes?
