Update“Construction is almost completed and DeHoop Dam will probably be ready for itsofficial opening within the next few months”says Mr Jaco van Niekerk, the contractor’srepresentative at yesterday’s NationalWater Week celebrations at the new dam.

The photographs are certainlyimpressive, as the dam is now about sixpercent full. “Technically it is notimpoundment yet” says Mr van Niekerk,explaining that “we equalise the Steelpoort/Tubatse River’s flow according to theaverage level for March every year by

regulating the outflow from the dam thoughone open sluice gate.”

Meanwile a dwelling is still in the way ofwater and the resident needs to relocate,otherwise it is only the outlet works controlhouse on top af the 88 metre high (fromlowest foundation level) and the uttermosttop part of the wall itself that need to becompleted. Eventually the surface area ofthe dam when full, will encompass about1690 hectares.

The total lenght of the dam wall is 1020metres.

‘We have it, andwe spend it’

“We have it, and we spend it. Nothing iswithheld,” says Greater TubatseMunicipality Municipal Manager, MrLemon Phala.Reacting to allegations that themunicipality does not do it work as faras spending government grants from theLimpopo Department of CooperativeGovernance, Human Settlements andTraditional Affairs (CoGHSTA) go, MrPhala told local media on Wednesdaythat certain councillors do not realisethat what they see in Council agendasare the whole history of a process andnot necessarily still valid on the day ofthe quarterly council meeting.Mr Phala explained that the issue andpaying of the grants to the municipalitydo not happen in one go, it happens inincrements, with the administrative armof the municipality, headed by themunicipal manager, responsible forreporting to the provincial authority whatthe progress with projects are and howmuch money were spend before anotherpayment is made. “They want to makesure that we keep on track with ourspend on projects, because it does nothelp that we do not spend while theypay the next increment. What acouncillor saw in the agenda for theMarch council meeting is a letter byCoGHSTA , requesting a progressreport on our spend before they pay us

the next money of the grant. As municipalmanager I send them the requested reportand they visited the municipality to makesure we are on track and we received themoney” Mr Phala said.“What happened is that with roll overprojects more money is normally spend bythe end of December every year. This yearwe had spend less money at the end ofDecember because the consultationprocess and planning of new projectstakes time before money can be spend.We needed to explain this to CoGHSTAand we did. We are on track to spend 100percent of the grant by the end of thefinancial year in June, just like in previousyears. Residents can go and look at ourrecord. We spend all the money on theallocated projects.What a councillor unfortunately saw wasonly a part of the administrative history ofa process we had reported on,” heconcluded.Answering a question by PlatinumGazette, Mr Phala said councillors get theagenda about seven days before a councilmeeting and should communicate in timewith the relevant role players beforethrowing an issue that is not an issue intothe public domain via the media. The workof the council’s portfolio committees asalso open to the public an councillors alike,who should attend if they want to see theprocess in action.

Hanging up their cellphones upthe trees or going up the nearesthilltop to get a network signal is athing of the past for thecommunity of Taung nearBurgersfort.This was after GCIS incollaboration with ICASA heededthe community’s plea to bringcommunication services to thisdeep remote village. Theyarranged a Consumer Rights Dayevent on 15 March and invited allinstitutions responsible forproviding communicationnetworks to outline their plans forthe community.

Khudu Lekubu, who is apensioner, could not hide hisexcitement. “A network servicewill assist a lot. We used tostruggle to call an ambulancewhen someone was ill in thevillage. The nearest hospital isabout 70km away and this wasmaking our lives difficult,” hesaid. Although he wasconcerned that it took five yearsto activate the network tower, hesaid it was worth waiting for.

The community also did notreceive post office services. Thecommunity used to travel about

Mavhungu Makatu fromICASA said the network serviceproviders have the obligation toenable communication meansto communities including thoseliving in deep remote ruralvillages. He said the idea wasnot only to get the community’sviews, but provide educationand awareness information tothe public and consumers. “Itwas also aimed at providingaccess to communicationservices, benefits of consumerchoice, consumer regulations,compliance processes,complaints handling processesand opportunities available inrespect to Corporate SocialResponsibilities and Investment(CSI) offered by licensees”, hesaid.

Ms Pamela Fabi said: “No, theyshould not be allowed to do that. Itis not Biblical and it will cause moresin in the world. It is ungodly”.

Mr Percy Mogapi and Mr Zani Ledwaba said: “They canbe allowed to show it, but it must start at 01:00 until04:00 at night. 20:00 is too early. Most of our kids arenot asleep. Kids are clever, they’ll figure out codes tokeep them away from that channel. Personally we don’tthink it is good, but for those who want to watch, start abit later”.

Mnr. Roelof Lourens sê: “Ek dinknie dis goed nie. Ek dinkverkragtings sal toeneem. Dit is inbeginsel verkeerd om so ‘n kanaaltoe te laat. Mense raak verslaafdaaraan en misdaad sal daardeurtoeneem. Kinders sal ook aan dieeinde van die dag toegang daartoekan kry”.

Mr Sharief Phiri said: “It must beallowed. Everyone must be able tochoose what they want to watch”.

Me. Maureen Beukes sê: “Dit moetBAIE streng beheer word. Daar isseker mense wat daarna wil kyk,maar ek weet darem nie of dittoegelaat moet word nie”.

Mr Lipton Kgohloane said: “No! Itmust not be granted to them. Youwill spoil the children. If they get thelicense to screen porn, it must onlystart after 01:00 at night”.

Ms DimakatsoMosoma and MsSanelisaMkhondo said:“Kids are still upby eight. So, no.They should notbe granted thatlicense. If it isgiven to them,they should startbroadcastingbetween 2 and 3at night”.

Mr Steve Mosoma said: “No, it isimportant not to play porn on TV.This will encourage children tobecome sexually active before thetime comes. If they want to play it,they must put it on DVD so olderpeople can buy it for themselves”.

Mnr. Johan Vorster sê”: “Ek dink disverkeerd. Hulle moenie toegelaatword om dit te wys nie. Daar isklaar kanale wat pornografie wyswat kinders kan kyk en nie behoortte sien nie. Tot e-TV het al laataandgoed gewys wat kinders nie behoortte kyk nie”. By hom is Megan.

Mr Moses Kyakuwa, Mr Nicholas Abdul and Ms Pinky Koloane said: “Theymust not be allowed to screen pornography. It is a bad influence for kidsand young people. Youngsters will think that it is the right way of life”.

Mr Volcano Mmopane (left) said: “No, they must not get a license tobroadcast pornography. They will be destroying our children. It willbecome Sodom and Gomorra. Mr Emmanuel Mmopane (right) said: “No,no, no. Kids will get access to that. It is not good at all. I totally think theymust not be allowed to broadcast it”.

Ms Josephine Zondani and Ms Nancy Maroga said:“No, they are just spoiling the children and puttingteenagers’ lives at risk. It will disturb students - they willlose focus on their work if porn is available on TV”.

Mr Gilbert Manaso said: “No, wehave children. Once they view thatwe will not be able to control themin the family. It is also against theConstitution for kids to view suchthings”.

Mnr. Willem Montgomery, Mnr. Steven Jacobs en Me.Nicolene Olivier sê: “Nee, of daar nou porn of TV is enof mense dit op die internet kry. Die wat daarna wil kyksal dit kry”. By hulle is Nadine.

Bo: Mnr. NicoErasmus en Mnr.Gert Loots sê:“Nee, daar is teveel jong skool-kinders wat dit salkan kyk. Jy krypa’s wat die blokvir die kinders salverwyder. Diekinders sal allebelangstelling inskool en diewêreld verloor”.

Mr Petrus Mahlomola Mahlake said:“I don’t think it is appropriatebecause the young generation muststill learn what is right. If it was laterat night, maybe 24:00 it would bebetter. Then children are asleep. Iactually think it must be banned as itis sexually demoralizing ourcommunity. Government is alsogiving a bad example, it looks likethey support promiscuity. That isunacceptable”.

Me. Bokkie La Cock sê: “Nee, ondergeen omstandighede moet dittoegelaat word nie. Hoeveel kinderssal verkrag word? Hulle sien dit,word blootgestel en dan is hullemaklike teikens vir verkragters”. Byhaar is Donna en Christiaan.

Top TV, one of South Africa’s payTV channel service providers hasapplied to the IndependentCommunications Authority of SouthAfrica (Icasa) for permission tobroadcast three subscriptionpornography channels. They wouldlike to broadcast the channelsPlayboy, Desire and Private Spicebetween 20:00 at night and 05:00 inthe morning.Various Christian and civil groupshave united in an effort to stop TopTV from obtaining permission tobroadcast porn.We asked readers what they thinkabout the application to broadcastporn.

fight, but DMR’s ladiesshined on the day andensured a win for theRegional office.
