Staalbrug scene ofattempted heist

On Monday the new filling station at the T junction of the R555

between Steelpoort and Roossenekal where the steel bridge

goes over the river to Jane Furse, was the scene of much

violence when a cash in transit heist was attempted.

After servicing clients in the Jane Furse area, a G4S

armoured cash transporter arrived at the filling station at about

17: 15 to do a pick up. According to the company, the driver

parked the vehicle near the door of the cash office and a crew

member exited the back of the vehicle to do the pickup at the

garage. A number of people were standing around at the filling

station. Before the crew member could get the money from the

garage, three vehicles, an BMW, Mercedes-Benz (both with

sunroofs) and an Audi approached the money truck with speed.

As far as could be determined the sunroofs of the two equipped

with it, were open, with armed men standing in the cars and

shooting at the cash vehicle with R5 rifles. The Audi was alsooccupied with armed men. In all, according to the company,

there were approximately 15-20 heavily armed suspects, some

wearing balaclavas. The driver pressed the button for the back

door in order for the crew member (without any money collected)

to enter the vehicle. Before he entered the vehicle, he was

fatally wounded in the shooting. The suspects took his fire arm,

while the driver of the G4S truck drove away from the scene on

the R555 towards Steelpoort.

The suspects in their cars kept shooting and followed the

vehicle. The BMW passed the cash truck, making a u turn in

front of it, still shooting while the other two vehicles were

ramming the truck. The vehicle lost power and the right front

wheel was shot out. It came to a standstill. The suspects were

still shooting and also fired shots at other motorists.

The driver was ordered out of the vehicles and instructed by

the suspects to open the vault and safes. He told them that it

can only be done with a computer. They then severely assaulted

him. Some of the suspects got in the crew compartment and

placed explosives at the locks of the two drop safe drawers. Theexplosives detonated and only damaged the locks of the

drawers. They could not succeed to open the vault door in order

to get access to the safes. No money was taken from the

vehicle.

The driver had his company fire arm with him but because he

was over powered he could not defend the robbery. The

suspects did not notice that he was armed. The suspects fled

the scene in their vehicles in the direction of Roossenekal,

firing shots in the air. One of the motorists that were shot at is a

qualified paramedic and he assisted the driver. The suspects

vehicles were recovered abandoned on the Roossenekal road

about 10 km from the scene.

As far as could be determined, only the Mercedes-Benz was

a stolen car. The Police is still investigating. The identity of the

39 year old G4S employee who died was still not made public by

the time of going to press as all his next of kin still had to be

notified.

Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) on Monday announced the implementation of a

R3.5 thousand million mine host community development transaction.

The company would issue 6.3 million new Amplats shares, representing an

ownership of 2.33% of the platinum giant, to development trusts to raise money for

communities near its mines and where its workers reside.

Amplats said that the transaction would result in it reaching beyond

compliance in its black economic-empowerment obligations. Under currentlegislation, mining companies need to be at least 26% black owned by 2014.

The beneficiaries would accrue benefits to be used to establish and maintain

sustainable community development projects, while access to dividends and other

cash-flow incentives would be available from the outset.

Based on the share price performance of Amplats, the funding mechanism

provides the potential for early settlement of all, or a part of, the notional vendor

finance mechanism (NVF), which would be used to issue the shares.

The transaction is designed to provide integrated benefits in the form of cash

flow benefits from the outset, and potential equity ownership in Amplats at the end

of the ten-year NVF period.

The need for ongoing community development and sustainable economic

transformation is recognised as a commercial and social imperative, the company

said in a statement .

Amplats said it has been exploring ways of enhancing and optimising the

benefits that accrue to mine host communities at the Mogalakwena, Dishaba/

Tumela (formerly Amandelbult), Twickenham and the Rustenburg mines and

extending such benefits to include key labour-sending areas to the mines.

The transaction aims at improving Amplats relationship with the mine host

communities, building on existing platforms and the significant positive strides

Amplats has achieved to date, while developing self-sustaining mine host

communities that are not solely dependent on the mines.

The initiative would also design a sustainable structure that furthers Amplats

objectives of empowering mine host communities affected by its mining operations,

ensure transparency through meaningful engagement and governance structures

and give embodiment to Amplats and Anglo American principles of community

engagement and empowerment, the miner said.

The Lefa La Rona Trust has been established for the purpose of subscribing for,

and holding the subscription shares, while the mine host communities and labour

sending areas would participate in the t ransaction through separate development

trusts that would be established for each mine, and a non-profit company that

would be established for the labour-sending areas.

The Lefa La Rona Trust will be the link between Amplats and the beneficiaries

in order to vote the Amplats shares and distribute cash flows received to the

development trusts and non-profit company.

The Lefa La Rona Trust would subscribe for the subscription shares at their par

value. The number of subscription shares is calculated with reference to the 30-day

volume-weighted average price of an Amplats ordinary share as at November 3,being R556.41 per share.

Further, the transaction provides for a guaranteed amount to fund development

projects of up to R20 million a year.

Further, the beneficiaries would have the ability, through the Lefa La Rona

Trust, to receive other cash flow benefits, such as yearly social investment

incentives of up to R30 million over and above the guaranteed amount for social

development projects put forward by the development trusts and approved by

Amplats, for the duration of the NVF period. Further cash incentives would be

payable to the beneficiaries (excluding the labour sending non-profit company)

subject to the development trusts achieving predetermined yearly health and safety

targets.

HI THERE

CAN You see why I laid this complaint because we have no coverage for a whole day .I

do business with this no and the constant coverage problem cost me to loose

customers!!!!


Date: 11/2/2011 5:22:01 PM



Yello!

I have tried calling, the ussd states that the number is not available.

Please contact the helpdesk on 083 900 1212 and lay a complaint so that it can be

investigated.

Cellphone users in the Burgersfort area are positively fed-up with MTNs service in the area.

For more than a month now, MTNs signal just disappears, and this month (November) the

problem occurred on 2, 4 and 7 November. Then some of the banks do not work, a large

number of pin pads for card payments in shops do not work and the Post Office has a

problem.

Phoning MTN on a landline does not help as they just tell you that they are working on the

problem, while the local service provider can also not assist you, they do not have a landline

...Part of the correspondence by email between a reader and MTN tells the whole story

(bottom).

Well the newspaper did get hold of someone, a certain Mr Van Reenen, at MTNs network

coverage section, who actually phoned back after the newspapers query. He said MTN is

making use of third party facilities that are not reliable any more and will install its own

equipment in due time. Prioritise Burgerfsfort for early in 2012, he said and promised to

follow up with an email to the newspaper. The promised email did not arive.

What is ADHD?What is ADHD?ADHD is a condition of the brain that makes it difficult for children to control their behavior. It is one of the mostcommon chronic conditions of childhood. It affects 4% to 12% of school-aged children. About 3 times more boys than

girls are diagnosed with ADHD.The condition affects behavior in specific ways.

Symptoms of ADHD

ADHD includes 3 groups of behavior symptoms: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The table below explainsthese symptoms. (Symptom - How a child with this symptom may behave.)

Inattention: Often has a hard time paying attention, daydreams. Often does not seem to listen. Easily distracted fromwork or play. Often does not seem to care about details, makes careless mistakes. Frequently does not follow throughon instructions or finish tasks. Disorganized. Frequently loses a lot of important things. Often forgets things. Frequentlyavoids doing things that require ongoing mental effort.

Hyperactivity: Is in constant motion, as if driven by a motor. Cannot stay seated. Frequently squirms and fidgets. Talkstoo much. Often runs, jumps, and climbs when this is not permitted. Cannot play quietly.

Impulsivity:Frequently acts and speaks without thinking. May run into the street without looking for traffic first.Frequently has trouble taking turns. Cannot wait for things. Often calls out answers before the question is complete.Frequently interrupts others.

Types of ADHDNot all children with ADHD have all the symptoms. They may have one or more of the symptom groups listed above.The symptoms usually are classified as the following types of ADHD:Inattentive only (formerly known as attention-deficit disorder [ADD])Children with this form of ADHD are not overlyactive. Because they do not disrupt the classroom or other activities, their symptoms may not be noticed. Among girlswith ADHD, this form is more common.Hyperactive/Impulsive- Children with this type of ADHD show both hyperactive and impulsive behavior, but can payattention. They are the least common group and are frequently younger.

Combined Inattentive/Hyperactive/ImpulsiveChildren with this type of ADHD show a number of symptoms in all 3dimensions. It is the type that most people think of when they think of ADHD.How You Can Tell if Your Child Has ADHDRemember, it is normal for all children to show some of these symptoms from time to time. Your child may be reactingto stress at school or home. She may be bored or going through a difficult stage of life. It does not mean she has ADHD.Sometimes a teacher is the first to notice inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity and bring these symptoms to theparents attention.Perhaps questions from your pediatrician raised the issue. At routine visits, pediatricians often ask questions such as: How is your child doing in school? Are there any problems with learning that you or your childs teachers have seen?Is your child happy in school? Is your child having problems completing class work or homework?

Are you concerned with any behavior problems in school, at home, or when your child is playingwith friends?

Your answers to these questions may lead to further evaluation for ADHD. If your child hasshown symptoms of ADHD on a regular basis for more than 6 months, discuss this with yourpediatrician.

Two leaders from the German Red Cross Volunta

programme recently visited Kgautswane Thusong

Service Centre to check of progress made by their seven

volunteers.

The seven youths from Germany have been assigned

to the centre on a one year programme and amongst

other responsibilities; they assist at local schools,

crches and at the centre.

Bernhard Kuehn and Magdalena Wojick were

impressed with work done by the volunteers for the

community of Kgautswane. According to Clara Masinga

who is the Centre Manager and founder of the centre, the

volunteers receive lessons in Sepedi and Afrikaans at the

centre as an exchange programme and are learning

these African languages very fast. Im impressed with

More assistancein the pipeline

for theKgautswane

Thusong ServiceCentre

their work and attitude towards other peoples cultures

and Im looking forward to mutual benefit.

According Kuehn, this is the second intake of

volunteers to be send to the centre from their

programme called Volunta and he said he is looking

forward to a good relationship with the Kgautswane

Thusong Service Centre Management. The first group

consisted of two young graduates who stayed for six

months. We intend sending another 12 volunteers

after this group finishes their programme in August

2012. The aim is to empower these German youths to

face the harsh realities of life and prepare them to

enter into academic life and also to share experiences

with South African villagers. I see a lot of difference

from when they first came here and now and Im very

grateful to see how the community are

accepting and treating them like their own

children. This invaluable contribution is much

appreciated not only here, but back home as

well.

Masinga would like to encourage

members of the community of Kgautswane

and surrounding villages to come to the

centre and learn computer skills offered from

Monday to Friday between 08:30 and 15:30

and also to share knowledge with the

Germans. We also urge the youth youth of

Kgautswane to come and do voluntary work

at Kgautswane Thusong Service Centre.

Masinga can be contacted at 082 533 7718.

News from Joshua Generation

This group of Praktiseer residents were gathered next to they road near the Ga-Matodi /

Penge junction on Wednesday. They say they were not consulted about the relocation

housing project of villagers from Segorong near Penge to Praktiseer. The villagers are to

be relocated because mining activity will take place on their land where their village are

now and it is unsafe to move them to Penge because of the prsumed asbestos danger.

Platinum Gazette managed to speak to the development facilitator and some of the

disgruntled, but they are still talking to each other. More than 200 houses will be built on

this piece of land.

Sebope Primary School is located approximately 36 km fromBurgersfort near Dilokong smelter. Water is a scarce commodityin this area and with populations growing and mining expanding it

is essential that quality is maintained and that the youth take thelead in monitoring. Six learners from Sebope Primary participated

in the annual World Water Monitoring Day on 19 October 2011 bytesting the pH, dissolved oxygen and turbidity levels of a well near

their school. This is part of the schools environmental actions forthe WESSA/WWF Eco-Schools programme which is co-ordinated

at the schools by Mr T.J. Magatsela. This is the third year that thewell water has been tested by the school. The well is an oasis forbiodiversity as it is situated in dry thornveld and is at least 2 metresdeep. The mouth of the well has a diameter of 2 metres and is

protected by a knee high stone wall. A

cattle trough has been erected near byand the cows wait patiently for someone

to collect water in a bucket to quenchtheir thirst. Although eutrophication wasevident with the sides of the well havinga proliferation of algae, total dissolvedoxygen was high and pH was onlyslightly on the alkaline side. Excess

nutrients could be entering thegroundwater as the area lacks proper

sanitation facilities. The best indicatorfor good quality was natures own as

tadpoles were swimming in the water.A clean up was held around the well as

all sorts of non biodegradables hadbeen left in the bush around the welland some had even blown into the watersource.

Mr Jackson Masilane and Mr Paul Mnisi said: As long as the money comes fromdonors and not from the taxpayers it is okay. If it comes from government it is notright. We enjoy our freedom because of the ANC. We work in the mines so it willdepend on that if we will go and attend the event. If weve got time we can go there, butworking underground you are always tired.

Mnr Simon Mokoena s: Daai koste is teveel. Hulle moet daai geld vat en vir diemense huise en werk gee. Nee, ek gaannie Bloemfontein toe gaan nie.

Mr David Moroka and Mr Sonnyboy Leshaba said: It is good for the party, but themoney they will spend is too much. We are looking for development. They must ratherconcentrate on creating jobs and building houses. The ANC should celebrate but theamount they will spend is huge - even if it comes from donors. They should check theamount they will spend. People are suffering. Unless they arrange transport for us, wewont go. It is only for the big bosses.

Mnr Charl Heyneke s: Nee, dit ispateties. Ek dink hulle gaan wel tax-geldgebruik. Nee, ek gaan glad nie probeer omdit by te woon nie.

Me. Denise Mutrie s: Dis belaglik! Hullekan eerder die toiletswat hulleoopgebou het toe maak en beterwatersisteme oral insit. Hulle moet diegeld gebruik om hulle mense te empower.Ek gaan beslis nie gaan nie.

Mr Barnard Masha and Ms Ntsoaki Masha said: The celebration will be good becauseit is a motivation for the people to go and get the planning for the future of the ANC.We are looking forward to attend it.

Me. Chantal van der Merwe s: Dit isbelaglik! Daai geld kan baie beteraangewend word. Ek gaan vir seker niedaarheen nie.

Left: Mr Sibonelo Nhlangulela said: The ANC tend to make a big case abouteverything. It is a 100 years. It is fine with me that big money is being spend, but we areall ANC members and never get invites to the events. They want us to chase after them.There are so many ANC members. Who will attend the celebrations? I would like to go,but feel cut off as there is no updates. They ask for your e-mail and contacts but theydont use it to update us or let us know about meetings.

Mnr Herman Deyzel s: Ek dink hullegaan op die einde van die dag diebelastingbetaler se geld gebruik. Hulle hetnie geld om die paaie en hospitale op tegradeer nie, maar hulle het geld vir npartytjie. Nee, ek gaan verkieslik nie gaannie.

Mr Elton Lekhowane said: Yes, theymust spend lots of money to make aparty for the ANC. I am here right nowbecause of them. Im going to go andcelebrate in Bloemfontein.

The ANC will celebrate their centenary from 6 -8 January 2011. The celebrations are said tocost more than R100 million.

The party will take place in Mangaung nearBloemfontein. The festivities will include golfdays, an interfaith vigil night, building a kraal

and slaughtering cattle at the original meeting

place where the party was formed as well ascultural activities. A special ANC musicalspectacular will also be brought on stage to helpcelebrate a 100 years of existence. The

president of the ANC will hold a gala dinnerand on 8 January deliver his NEC statement.

The party expects 120 000 - 150 000 people toattend the event and they will include membersof the ANC, African leaders and leaders fromvarious anti-apartheid movements from all overthe world. A previous ANC and South Africanpresident, Nelson Mandela is also expected

to attend the festivities.According to ANC spokesman Mr Jackson

Mthembu, the money for the celebrations willcome from friendly donations.We asked readers how they feel about theplanned festivities and its estimated cost. We

also wanted to know if they will attend the event.

In recognition of long service are staff withfive years service rewarded with Thorburnsponsored medical aid. In Thorburn Security

Solutions (Northern Region) which wasestablished in October 2005, 7% of staff

served five years and longer in thecompany. In the Steelpoort area of theEastern Limb of the Bushveld Complex inMpumalanga Province, 19 security officers

recently qualified for their long servicemedical aid membership. The medical aid iscontracted to OSCA Care Group (seewww.oscacare.co.za).Despite for this medical aid for five yearsserving members are all (irrespective of

length of service) Thorburn security officers

and managers operating in miningenvironments (mines, plants andsmelters) covered with R200 000for death on duty which issponsored by Thorburn Security

Solutions. This policy has beenin place since October 2005.Thorburn also contributes 7,5%

to the Private Security ServicesProvident Fund and haverecently included certainadministrative categories to the

fund.The private security industry isrenowned for a high staffturnover which causesdiscomfort to clients and

operations, imbalance in service

delivery and huge expenses forprivate security servicesproviders. Shift work,remuneration levels, image ofthe industry and stress areamongst others factors

influencing staff turnover. In Thorburn weendeavor to minimize the influences on staffturnover and encourage long service

through our various staff benefits,remuneration systems and reward

structures. We encourage a concept of theThorburn family thereby reducing staffturnover to far below industry figures. Our7% five years and longer service

achievement is indicative of thisachievement.Below is Operations Manager EllenceMonyela (Center) with Admin AssistantCharlotte Teffo (left) and Supervisor GoldenMalapane (right at Modikwa Platinum Mine
