Mabone
the municipality wide project to supply
electricity to a large number of villages.
Since last year the Fetakgomo
Greater Tubatse Local Municipality and
its service provider responsible for doing
the work, Mphaphuli Consulting are at
loggerheads with each other regarding
alleged late payment by the Municipality
- is it
and the fact that the service provider
did not complete the work as fast as the
municipality wanted it to.
Now the municipality says the service
provider is guilty of breach of contract
and it plans to appoint another contractor
to complete the work, which should have
been completed by September last year
(2016).
dead?
The municipality also says that Mpha-
phuli Consulting abandoned the project
and sites around June last year without
informing the municipality.
The contractor denied that it has
breached the agreement with regards to
the Operation Mabone project, saying
that delayed payments by the municipali-
ty had a substantial impact on the speed
of performance by Mphaphuli Consulting,
while the municipality also allegedly did
not react to proposals by the contractor
for completion of uncompleted projects.
The contractors response was
forwarded to the Municipality by the end
of last week, reportedly via an attorney,
while the termination of contract letter to
the contractor was send directly from the
municipality to the contractor by the end
of last month.
In the meantime the date on which
your villages electrcity will be switched
on remains an open question ...

It is all about the road to Ga Riba Last week Friday saw a mob breaking down the gates at the office building of the Fetakgomo
- Greater Tubatse Local Municipality in Burgersfort. The Police were also there and dispersed
the crowd with rubber bullets.
According to documents received this week the mob was from Ga Riba near Burgersfort.
A large part of the Riba community (excluding the community around Riba Cross adjacent
to the R37 road) lives on the mountain. You cannot see it from Riba Cross, but on top of the
mountain there are lots of houses, schools, a clinic etc.
In 2011 the editor of Platinum Gazette only owned a low sedan vehicle and he attempted
to travel to Ga Riba via the only road up the mountain. He couldnt. That road is horrendous.
That year the government promised (an MEC called Pinky) a tarred road.
Today no tarred road. RAL Roads Agency Limpopo, says planning is in an advanced
stage. The community members say they are fed-up and want a road. They say they wanted
to march and hand over a memorandum to everybody concerned (Premier, RAL, MEC etc.)
via the local municipality.
The municipality invited two representatives to attend a pre-march meeting on 08 Sep-
tember. They say the two invitees did not arrive for the meeting on time and minuted their
absence without apology after 45 minutes. They say another meeting is a no-go.
Four community members were arrested during the fracas at the municipality. They ap-
pear in court today. The community says they are innocent. Everybody is going to pitch up at
the court. And they still want their road.
Focus on
careers in
mining, marine
and aviation
Many learners in this area dream of one day
working at one of the local mines.
In a special career motivational show hosted
by Kedramag Health and Safety (Pty) Ltd
learners from St. Thomas College, Calvin
College and Angels Park Academy could
learn more about careers working under-
ground in the mines, aviation jobs, marine
focussed jobs and many more.
The event took place on 1 September 2017
at the Mary Matthews Memoral Hall at St.
Thomas College in Burgersfort. The event
focussed on matric learners from the different
schools.
The presentation was shown on LED
Screens - the same equipment used to assist
mines with Health and Safety Promotions or
Campaigns and Behaviour Based Safety in
mines.
Mining Overseer Ms R Nhleko and Ms
Dombo were part of the days presenters and
encouraged the learners to make use of the
opportunities they are getting. They reflected
that they themselves were never exposed to
the careers discussed during the event.
Especially the girls were motivated to believe
in themselves and girl power.

Masete), Burgersfort SAPS, Angels Park
Academy, Calvin College and volunteers
