Parts of Burgersfort is fed-up with a massive power outage
since Tuesday this week, and with it, no water, as the pumps
are not working because of the lack of electricity. At the time of

NUUS

So, we had a hectic few days in Burgersfort. Month-end for industries and everybody else on the same weekend. And everybody only
thought about themselves and tried to be the biggest road hogs in existence. The traffic cops tried their best, but they were ignored, and the
editor has seen them being verbally abused and shouted at by motorists. Give them a break, they only want to do their job.

A quant
little
town with its
issues
Ohrigstad is known for its fertile
land. Especially their potholes
as can be seen in the bottom
photograph where plants almost
reach knee high. It also seems
as if the town has an abundance
of water as this water leak in
the photograph (left) wasted a
lot while supplying water to the
not-completed-yet sports field in

Spar Aloe
officially opens
Spar Aloe in Lebowa Business Park officially
opened its doors on 25 February 2016.
The store had a gradual transformation to
become part of the Spar group and shoppers
were keen to visit and take advantage of the
huge savings on offer. (The opening specials
will continue until 6 March 2016).

The day was filled with activities as

suppliers came to support them. Music, a
jumping castle and the smell of boerewors on
the braai greeted customers outside.
Shoppers can also stand a chance to
win shopping vouchers when buying at Spar
Aloe. Visit the store and find out how.

one of the big
hits of the day.
He was ready
to greet everyone.

Ms. Marica Geldenhuys, Mr Shuan

Maloney, Mr Martin
Schoeman and Ms

officially opened the
store by cutting a
ribbon.

Early morning guests and shoppers were

welcomed with tea, coffee and rusks at the
entrance to the shop. (see photograph on the
right). During the day fresh boereworsrolls
were prepared and sold outside the shop.

Suppliers came out to support Spar Aloe

at the opening. Ola had a jumping castle proving to be more popular with some older
children.

Back to basics for underperforming municipalities

In an attempt to address poor service delivery a programme called Back-to-Basics has been introduced.
Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba said that there
will be a focus on Revenue Enhancement Programmes aimed at improving the financial viability of
municipalities.
The programme has been in action for 17 months
and according to the Minister the results are starting
to show.

The second phase of the Back-to-Basics programme will focus on a 10-point plan that focuses on
more positive community interaction with municipalities,
supporting revenue enhancement programmes and
ensuring the appointment of appropriately qualified personnel to senior positions in municipalities, he said.
The idea is to create customer satisfaction and a
positive inter action between residents and the municipality.

On Wednesday this week Kohin
Youth Coaches were joined by the
leaders from Steelpoort Academy
to paint a doll house at Mangabane
Primary School. Mangabane is a
Samancor ECM Kohin sponsored
school showing their commitment
towards the well-being of learners in
the area. The coaches and learners
all enjoyed the creative time with
some groups entertaining Mangabane learners who stuck around after
school to witness what is happening.

National Kohin
prayer day
On Friday, the 26th February Kohin had its National Prayer day. The Youth coaches in
the Limpopo area celebrated this special day in Calvin College, Steelpoort Akademie
and Magakantshe Primary.
Each learner wore a prayer bracelet, with prayer requests on. This bracelet reminded the learners to pray during the day for especially the financial strive and crippling
economic state of our area.
Together, Kohin believes they can equip learners for the future and provide answers
for each challenge they face!

Are you going to make

South Africans are gearing up for the 2016
municipal elections.
Municipal elections are held every five
years to elect councillors who are responsible
for governing a municipality over a five year
term. The current term of office of municipal
councillors will come to an end on 18 May
2016. Councillors are there to serve the town
and make sure that services such as water,
electricity and sanitation is delivered to the
citizens of that area.
The date of the elections will be known
once the Minister of Cooperative Governance
and Traditional Affairs has proclaimed it. To
keep within the constitution this date must be
somewhere between 18 May and 16 August
2016.
In order to be able to vote in this election,
citizens should be registered on the voters
roll. To be able to register you need to be
a South African citizen, be at least 16 years
old (but you can only vote once your are 18),
have a barcoded green ID book, smartcard
ID or a valid Temporary Identity Certificate
(TIC). You also need to register within South
Africa.
This weekend the Independent Electoral
Commission (IEC) will be hosting various
registration points where prospective voters
can make sure that they are registered. You
can also make an appointment to apply for
registration during office hours at your local
IEC office responsible for your voting district.
Registrations must be done in person and no
online registration is available.
When you apply to be registered as a voter you will fill in an application form. Your ID
book will be scanned and a barcoded sticker
posted in the green ID book or on your valid
TIC. If you have a smartcard ID, the sticker
will be pasted on a special form that will
be given to you. Getting the sticker and
completing the form does not mean you are
registered, it only means youve applied for
registration. To process the application may
take up to 7 working days. To check your registration details you can send an SMS with
your ID number to 32810 (R1,00 per SMS),
download the IECs mobile app and enter
your ID number there, check your registration
details online, check at your voting station
during the registration weekend or check at
your local IEC office during office hours.
People should remember that during
the municipal elections you will be required
to vote at the voting station where you are
registered. So if you have moved to another
area, you will have to re-register.
Platinum Gazette asked readers if they
plan to register this weekend and why they
feel it is important or not.

Mr Abel Maatjie said: My vote will make a

difference. Ill register this weekend. Everyone must register. If you dont, theyll take our
country down.
Mr Jan Mokakati and Ms Rosy Mokakati said: We are going to check that we are registered
this weekend. We want to vote and we are prepared to make changes. We cant wait for
Zuma to fall.

Mr Danny Mathokwane and Ms Selaelo Mathokwane said: It is important to register this

weekend. Your vote is your voice. It is the only time we get a chance to voice our preferences.
We are going to make sure we are registered and vote later in the year.

Mr Steven Nonyana said: Yes, Ill register. It

is our time to choose who should govern us.
I want to have a say in who governs me and
what I want. Everyone should register, every
vote counts. I dont really know where to
register, but normally we get advice at work
on where we should go.

Mnr Aaron Lekwadi s: Ja, ek gaan registreer in Driekop waar ek bly. Dis belangrik.
Almal moet seker maak hulle kan gaan vote.
Elke stem tel.

Bo: Me. Vallery Pieterse en Mnr. Louis Pieterse s: Ons is geregistreer maar sal gaan
seker maak ons besonderhede is reg. Dis
belangrik want elke stem gaan tel in hierdie
verkiesing. Jy kan nie kla oor goed wat nie
reg is nie, as jy nie gestem het nie.

Mr Stephen Mphego said: It is very important

for people to vote. Your vote is your voice. If
you abstain from voting how will you participate in government? Make sure your details
are updated on the voters roll. Ill be the first
in town to do that this weekend. You should
participate.

Left: Mr Ronny Mogoane said: Im going to

register in order to vote. The only way we
can bring about change is by changing our
vote. I used to be part of the ruling party, but
they are not the party they used to be. I think
that maybe a party like the DA can bring real
change in our lives. They can perhaps bring
a better life for all and create more jobs.

Ms. Letta Nonyane said: Im going to vote

so Ill have to register this weekend. It is
important.

sure you are registered?

Mr Stone Setladi and Mr Mathews Riba said: It is important to register. Everyone is complaining about things that are not working and the ANC who is doing this and that wrong, but if you
dont register and if you dont vote for change, nothing will change. Everyones vote counts.
Well definitely make sure that we are registered.

Ms. Anna Moshwane and Ms. Hetty Mkanzi said: Were already registered. Our votes will
make a difference. Everyone should register and vote later in the year.

Me. Marica Geldenhuys en Mnr. Shaun Maloney s: Dis belangrik om te registreer. Die
IEC moet seker maak mense weet waar hulle kan registreer. Ons sal gaan seker maak ons
besonderhede is op die kieserslys. Mense wat nie gaan vote nie, kan nie na die tyd oor n
gebrek aan dienslewering kla nie.

Mr Godfrey Mokofane, Mr Edwin Malele and Mr Thabo Mongadi said: Our votes will make a
difference. We know about the registration as we saw the posters and saw it on social media.
We are ready to register. Ons dink dis belangrik om te kan vote.

Mr Dalton Sambo said: Yes, I will register.

I want to elect people who I believe are the
best for the job. We want our voices to be
heard.

Mnr. Werner Keulder s: Jy moet stem en

daarom moet jy sorg dat jy hierdie naweek
registreer. As jy nie stem nie gaan jou stem in
elk geval vir die regerende party. Sonder om
te stem sal ons nie die ANC uit die stoel haal
nie. Kyk net na ons kragvoorsiening hierdie
week! Dis deel van hoekom ons die ANC uit
wil h.

Mr Reuben Marebane said: Yes, Ill have to

register. I have my rights and I cannot fight
for a better life if I dont vote. I must register
and vote and not be passive this weekend.

Mr Brian Baloyi said: Yes, I feel it is time

to vote for a difference so everyone should
make sure that they are registered, Ill also
do so. The IEC should however be making it
clearer where we can go and register.

Me. Nastasja Schutte s: Ja, ek gaan

verseker registreer. n Mens kan so n verskil
maak.
Mnr Peter Mononyane s: `Ja, ek gaan registreer hierdie naweek. Ons soek changes so
almal moet gaan registreer om the kan stem.
Dis belangrik.

Mr William Mokhabela said: Yes, Ill be

registering to vote. It will help us to get things
better if everyone votes.

Mr Godfrey Rachidi said: It it important. Your

vote is your power, especially if you want to
see changes with regards to infrastructure
etc. If you feel you are not getting justice from
the current government, vote for change. This
is important if you are lacking services and
struggling. I am however feeling indifferent to
all of this and wont really bother with it. I am
not really affected.

How do you see the Olifants River?

Local artists called to participate in the Ko Nokeng exhibition
On 18 March, iNyoka Gallery, in collaboration with the Association for Water and Rural
Development (AWARD), is opening the Ko
Nokeng exhibition in Hoedspruit.
Themed around the Olifants River, the
art on display represents peoples appreciation for this vital life source, which means
different things to different people. A farmer
in Groblersdal views the river in a different
way to a grandmother in Penge, a tourist who
experiences the river from within the Kruger
National Park or a subsistence farmer in Mozambique, says AWARDs assistant director,
Derick du Toit.
What all of them have in common though
is an experience of the river that is changing as conditions in the Olifants Catchment
change. Some of the drivers of change
include abstraction of water for agricultural or
industrial purposes, a mining explosion and
governance structures that affect how water
and natural resources are managed. The
data is telling us that the system is under
enormous pressure, with potentially devastating effects on the people who rely on the river
for their livelihoods, says AWARDs director,
Dr. Sharon Pollard.
Experts believe the effects of climate
change will exacerbate the pressures on the
Olifants system.
By hosting the exhibition, iNyoka and its
members are sharing their views of the system and the river at its heart. Art represents,
it challenges, it inspires. The current drought
shows how vulnerable we all are and how
we rely on natural resources, so this is really
an exciting opportunity to use art to see the
river through the eyes of the people who love
and rely on it, says artist and iNyoka board
member, Mark Blair.
AWARD hopes that by engaging with the
issues creatively (coupled with robust science) everyone living in the Olifants Catchment will begin to feel a sense of ownership
and responsibility for Our Olifants and how
our actions affect one another.
We believe downstream users should
support action further upstream and that
those upstream should realise what is happening downstream. We should ask ourselves, how can we work together to make
the catchment more resilient? says Pollard.
Everyone is invited to the exhibition
opening on 18 March at 18h00. There will be
live music, snacks and a cash bar. The event
will also signal the launch of the #OurOlifants
campaign.
Artists who would like to exhibit or get
involved in the gallery should contact art@
inyokagallery.com or ourolifants@gmail.com.
All work needs to be submitted, ready to
hang, by 14 March 2016. If youre not ready
in time, there will be a follow-up event later in

the year. You can follow the campaign using

#OurOlifants.
AWARD is a non-profit organisation
specializing in participatory, research-based
project implementation. Their work addresses
issues of sustainability, inequity and poverty

by building natural-resource management

competence and supporting sustainable
livelihoods. One of their current projects,
supported by USAID, focuses on the Olifants
River and the way in which people living in
South Africa and Mozambique depend on
the Olifants and its contributing waterways. It
aims to improve water security and resource
management in support of the healthy ecosystems to sustain livelihoods and resilient
economic development in the catchment.
Anyone interested in learning more about
AWARD can visit www.award.org.za or the
