Modikwa Platinu m Mine did a 25000t open cast sam ple blast last week Friday. Under

the watch full eye of Business Leader Sean OConnor and several other employees of

the mine.

Initially the blast was plan ned for the previous a fternoon, but was postponed

because overcast weather caused darkn ess to set in much earlier than an ticipated.

For safety reasons th e blast took place first th ing the next morning.

The the early morning blast impressed all present who viewed the explosion from

th e highs of one of the mines waist d umps .

This was done to determine t he feasibility of future open cast mining a t th e mine.

The results of this will only be known after the sample ha s been processed.

To open the one hectare sized pit, 400 holes were drilled and blasted with 60 tons

of explosives. The th e pit will end up ha ving an 18m high wall. Approximately 30

people are presently working on the project.

Situated on the E astern Limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex, Modikwa

Platinum Mine exploits th e chromitite seam known as the Upper Group 2 (UG2) reef.

The north/ n orthwesterly-tending ore body is approximately 28 km on strike,

outcropping on th e surface, and extends to an un known depth. The mine currently

extends over an ar ea of 14 278 ha, a nd holds the mineral lease over five farms:

Driekop, Maanda gshoek, Hendrikplaatz, Onverwacht and Winterveldt. The mine a rea

contains up to 48.4 million t onnes of mineral reserves, while measured a nd indicated

resources are estimat ed at between 115.2 and 145.7 million tonnes.

Both the UG2 and Merensky reef are found within t he mine ar ea. At present only

the UG2 is being mined, though some trial mining has been done on the Merensky

Reef Horizon. The U G2 reef is present as a chromitite layer of an average thickness of

nearly 60cm, which undu lates across the mine area at an am plitude of less than 2m.

Executive Ma yor of the d istrict, Cllr Mogobo David Maga be grew up in

this village and was invited back to the village by the elders for a blessing

ceremony after completing his first year as executive mayor. The event

turn ed into a type of Imbizo where issues such as shortage of water,

electricity, roads, RDP houses, employment and educational and social

facilities for the youth were discussed. (Platinum Gazette reported on 28 May

2010 about this village and their dissatisfaction with service delivery,

especially with regards to electricity. The Mokgotho Development Committee

had a t tha t sta ge delivered a memorandum t o the local municipality with

regards t o their concerns.)

Fridays event wa s at tended by villagers, members of parliament,

councilors of Greater Tubatse Municipality, chiefs and indunas from

neighbouring villages and officials from various government departments.

In response t o the problems raised by t he villagers, Cllr Magabe sa id I

am a ware of all the ha rdships tha t this village, my village has ha d to endure

with for th e past 16 years of democracy. Born and r aised here myself, I am

not foreign to service delivery cha llenges facing the commun ity.

However, I am happy to report t hat on the issue of a road for the ent ire

engaging various depar tment s in the pr ovince to take care of the needs of you

the people of the village.

Magabe concluded by saying I have a lso witnessed th at there a re some

disparities regarding allocation of RDP houses in the village. And I will

investigate further a nd recommend to relevant offices that all the poorer

house holds get RDP houses.

During this event, where gospel sensation Winnie Mashaba also

focus on their education.

Do you think SA will reap anySunday th e FIFA World Cup will draw to

an en d. This will be the conclusion of wha t

government spent 33 thousand million

rand on over the past seven years. This

includes st adiums, improving of transport

infrastructure a nd investing in securitypersonnel and equipment.

Especially business owners in the h ost

cities feel the immediate benefits of the

tournamen t. According to

www.polity.org.za, Visa Inc has reported

that spending by foreigners using credit

cards has topped $128 million. This is 54%

up from their spending in South Africa for

the same period last year.

Restaura nts, hotels and airlines have seen

a massive demand over the last month,

but what about the future?

Direct infrastru cture benefits such as the

Gautra in, upgraded roads, revamped

airports etc. but a less visible benefit is

the business confidence in South Africa as

an investment destination. This was one of

the key points of a recent briefing with

CEO of the local organ ising committee,Danny J ordaan an d various political

figures.

Tony Twine, an economist was also quoted

in various publications saying: The

market ing benefits, including tourism spin

offs, will no doubt be felt for many year s to

come.

Most import an tly is th e global profiling of

South Africa. We were very misunderstood

as a destination, both for tourism and

even for foreign direct investment, said

Gillian Saun ders of Grant Thornton

Advisory Services. The stories that are

going out now are largely that the event is

going well, the fans are h aving a great

time. It s a welcoming and friendly

countr y and theres nothing m ajor wrong

except little incidents which are being

handled as they ha ppened, she toldPolity.org.

Government estimates t hat 130 000 jobs

were created by the tournament .

We asked if and what rea ders see as long

term benefits of the FIFA World Cup in

South Africa.

(Informa tion: www.fifa.com;

www.polity.org.za; www.busrep .co.za).

Me. Barbie du Plooy s: Daar is nievoordele nie. Nou sal net skole diestadions gebruik. Dis glad nie goed nie.

Mnr. Richard Foxcroft s: Als het goedafgeloop, so hulle sal dit seker weer kandoen met enige sportbyeenkomste.

Mr Justino Tivane said: There is nobenefit. We will still have to work hard toan improvement in South Africa. Withhim is Odenio Tivane.

Mr Sinkie Shumba said: The long termbenefit is the boost it will give the SouthAfrican economy through job creation.

Mr Caipus Mojela said: There is nobenefit. It was a waste.

Mr Lesley Motedi said: There is nobenefit. People were looking for jobs andnow there is nothing and they lose hope.

Left: Ms Mpho Nthutang said: I thinkthere may be benefits if the peoplemanaging the stadiums now will havetheir right powers.

Mr Papi Motene and Ms Ephenia Motene said: When government argued about thisissue it was made clear that the economy will grow through this, especially with peoplegetting employment and the benefits the tourism industry will reap. We were regardedas unsafe, but now people will continue to come to South Africa which in turn willcreate jobs. Sport does not end, it is forever.

Me. Charmaine Maree s: Nee, daar is nievoordele nie want die paaie word niereggemaak nie. Daar is miljoene opstadions gebruik terwyl kos al duurderraak en die gewone ouens nie voordeeltrek nie.

Ms Thabitha Lebyana said: I thinkeconomically and people will come andinvest. There was no reporting on crimeand now investors will come becausethey believe we are a stable country.

Me. Suzette Ludick s: As ons diesokker kon doen, dan kan ons dieOlimpiese Spele aanbied. Hulle het netsoveel geld spandeer wat kon help omkinders van die straat te kry en nopvoeding te gee of armes krag te gee.

Mnr. Rudi Kruger s: Nee, daar is nievoordele nie. Die geld kon baie beteraangewend gewees het. Beter paaie kongemaak gewees het.

Mr Hector Mashamba said: We willbenefit because local teams will use thestadiums for all sports including rugby.We also got more hotels and roads.

Me. Runell van Rensburg en me. Nadine Fourie s: Nie in ons omgewing nie, maardalk op ander plekke. Daar is byvoorbeeld die Gautrain en meer akkommodasie watgebou is. Daar is ook wreldwyd bemarking vir toerisme gedoen.

Mnr. Frank Fenner en mnr. Eugene Kotze s: Nee daar is nie n voordeel nie, diestadions gaan staan soos witrenosters. Hulle gaan nie daarop rugby speel nie.Niemand gaan dit gebruik nie.

AGS gholfdag

Die AGS Kerk van St eelpoort h et verlede week Saterd ag hulle

jaar likse gholfdag aa ngebied.

Ongeveer 30 spelers was op die baan. Dit was effens minder a s

die verwagte 40 spelers maa r steeds n kompeterende veld.

Die kompetisie het n Better ball forma at gehad. Dit beteken dat

die span slegs elke beste hou gebruik en almal dan van daar die

bal se posisie verder speel. Die span pr obeer dus tussen hulle met

die minste moontlike houe klaarmaak.

Die dag was n groot sukses en pa stoor Neels Beukes van die kerk

het almal bedank wat deur deelname, borge en relings die dag

moontlik gemaak het.

Hierdie naweek is dit die Sanlam Kanker Gholfdag wat op

Sater dag 10 Ju lie plaasvind. Alle spelers is welkom. Die afslaan is

om 09:00 en die inskrywingsfooi is R150 per s peler. Navra e:
