The Hawks have arrested two former officials of the Limpopo Provincial Department of Transport for

fraud exceeding R79-million.

The arrest was made by the elite units Anti-Corruption Task Team.The suspects, former Road Agency Limpopo CEO Mrs Mashanoke Alice Mogotlane (44) and former

Senior Manager for Special Projects Mr Ndanganeni Robert Nemavhola (48), are accused of

fraudulently issuing a tender to build a bridge that cross the Olifants (Lepelle) River from Penge to Ga-

Mankele village in the Greater Tubatse Municipality.

The suspects allegedly inflated the initial amount of R46 671 876.59 to R79 518 404.52 without the

necessary approval from the Treasury. The contracted company also supplied an Acrow bridge instead

of a Mabey and Johnston steel bridge. The procurement processes were also allegedly circumvented.

The pair has appeared in the Polokwane Magistrates Court yesterday on charges of fraud. The

case was postponed to 15 August, and they were released on R5 000 bail each.

The Head of the Hawks in Limpopo, Major-General Dibero Molatsane, applauded the team for their

sterling work. She said: Our aim is to rid the province from acts of corruption, and we anticipate more

arrests on this case.

Platinum Gazettereported extensively on the project during the construction phase (this photograph

was published in March 2012 just after completion of the bridge and tarred road to Mankele) as well as

theofficial opening of the bridge on 25 April last year by Limpopo Premier, Cassel Mathale (published

on 27 April 2012).

Burgersfort and Ohrigstad communitiesshould become involved in the fight

Hannah Game Lodge near Ohrigstad suffered ablow recently when one of their already de-hornedrhino fell victim to poachers. The lodge decided tode-horn their rhino after losing some of the animals

to poachers last year.The male was approximately six years old. It issuspected that he was killed over the long weekendin June.Hannah Game Lodge worked closely with Nature

Conservation Authorities to have the rhino on their

property de-horned.

The poachers whokilled this animal washowever not put off by

the fact that they willbe taking only a littlebit of horn that hassince grown back.We are now planning

to treat the horns with poison in the hope that this will deterpoachers from killing our animals, said Mr Eghardt Nel fromHannah Game Lodge.He is appealing to the communities of Ohrigstad and

Burgersfort to become involved in the fight against poaching.If anyone hears anything about rhino horn or information aboutrhino horns being sold, please inform the SAPS and the gamefarms immediately, he requested.

We will donate NoDumpingsignsLast week when it looked if AutoZone, a respected business in Eland Street, Burgersfort,

was dumping old flooring in Morone Street on the gravel part after the Oorbietjie Street T,

Platinum Gazette fowarded the photograph to AutoZone and the municipality.

Three responses were received. The guilty party was not AutoZone, but Creative Shop,

which is currently busy with a revamp at AutoZone. They borrowed the bakkie ...

The first response was receiuved from them, which read:

My installation crew is currently busy with a revamp at the AutoZone Burgersfort store.

As per most our projects, we normally order a skip for all building debris and rubble.

However there has been a delay in getting this to site in a timeous manner. My crew

onsite took the initiative to removal the rubble, with the assistance of my clients vehicle.

Not being familiar with the surroundings, the mistook the area where they dumped the

rubble as a dumping ground. My client is actively involved in the community and do

their utmost to contribute where they can. That being said, I personally would like to

donate, no dumping signage for this area. Please advise as to how I can go about

assisting you and the local metro in cleaning up this area.

Contact me personally to resolve

Best Regards,Brandon Williams

CREATIVE SHOP

Platinum Gazette contacted Mr Williams and passed on the relevant contact numbers at

the municipality.

Response number two was received from AutoZone, which in no uncertain terms

declared:

Thank you for bringing the illegal dumping of refuse to our attention. This is not the

way AutoZone conducts its business and we regret this incident. Whilst our

subcontractor has accepted responsibility for this incident it is not without fault on

AutoZones behalf as our staff allowed the use of our vehicle for this purpose. Our own

internal investigation will be conducted and where appropriate disciplinary action could

result. We have in the interim made arrangements to have this rubble removed and

legally disposed of. We apologise to the residents of Burgersfort for this unfortunate

incident.

Regards,

Kyle E. Young

General Manager - Operations

AutoZone

Response number three came from the Greater Tubatse Municipality who warned

throught its Spokesperson, Mr Kubane Tolo:

The Waste Act 59 states that No person shall drop, spill or deposit any refuse into or

onto public area, therefore, it is clear that such activity is unlawful, unacceptable,

inhuman and prohibited.

Since we have the proof of photos, a letter will be written to Autozone to instruct them

to clean the site within given specific time frame and failure to do so the legal steps will

be taken against them.

As for the reporting of such activities with sufficient evidence, we call upon the

Community members to assist the Municipality and contact Ms Chokoe K (Supervisior

in Waste Management) on (013) 231 1173 and at [email protected]

Those responsible for the incident reported about on this page, should be

commended for their views and their willinglness to admit that they were wrong

and also their willingness to rectify and contribute to do something that is a sore

eye in any community. The scary version of this article is that the businesses who

took responsibility on this page are not the only guilty ones.

Other businesses and individuals (we regularly see them, only we do not

always have a camera ready) at more than one place in town and next to the river

in Steelpoort dump whatever they want to as if no rules apply and become

agressive when they just see newspaper personnel in the vicinity (even with no

camera in sight) and usually flee the scene in a great cloud of dust.

Landfill sites actually do exist and the municipality in Burgersfort have all the

details available. Please do not dump your waste on other peoples doorstep. It is

unsightly, smells bad, is a threat to the environment and sometimes a downright

threat to everyones health.

Trucks damagingtown infrastructure

Trucks driving overstorm water draininlets on the side ofthe road often leave

them dangerouslyexposed as

broken off after theheavy vehicleclimbed onto the

sidewalk and offagain.

No, I dont need an abortion!The distribution offlyers for everythingfrom cars that are for

sale to abortions isbecoming a bigger andbigger problem inBurgersfort. Many just

paste their pamflets totraffic signs whileothers place their

leaflets under car

wiper-blades and inthe door handles ofvehicles. Most vehicleowners just throw thepapers away on the

spot. This contributesto the waste problemin town.

Heavy vehicles parking on the sidewalks in

town often cause damage to infrastructuresuch as stormwater drainage inlets.

Platinum Gazetteasked the Greater TubatseMunicipality what is the regulations regardingtruck damaging curbstones etc. in town as

shown on the photographs to the left.

Mr KB Tolo, GTM Spokesperson said: Anyperson who park a motor vehicle on a sidewalk is committing an infringement and he/she will be issued with a section 56 noticefor the amount of R1500-00 (One thousandfive hundred rand). Furthermore, the driver

of such vehicle is held responsible if foundor identified as the driver at the time of

committing the offence.

On the photo of the two trucks, the owner oroperator of such vehicle is liable for the fine

if the driver could not be found untilsubmitting a statement declaring the driversname and address.

The necessary steps will be taken against

the trucks that appear on the photos and wewill investigate and follow up with the issuingof section 341 notices to the owner/operator.The Traffic Department is appealing to thepublic to report any wrong doings by callingthis number: 013 231-1000 and traffic

officers will be summoned to that sceneimmediately.

Traffic coming into Burgersfort on the R37 isslowed dramatically at the Themba Garage/Tubatse Crossing Mall cross. It seems that

those programming the traffic lights anticipateda much larger traffic flow coming from the Mall

into the main road. Traffic now waits for a greenlight while virtually no traffic comes from theMalls side. The photograph above was taken

this week as traffic backed up almost to theR555 Steelpoort cross (not peak hour).

Very soon South Africans will be issued with

a convenient and safe card ID when theyapply for an identity document.

The cards will replace the current greenbarcoded book.The cards will be safer as they will beencoded with a micro chip and will be

operated with fingerprint verification and aPIN where necessary. The photograph of thecards owner will be engraved with a laser

onto the card and this will make it virtually

impossible for thieves to simply replace thephotograph before using the cardfraudulently.The Department of Home Affairs will be ableto issue a card ID much faster than a book.

The waiting period will be cut down to a fewdays.New applications will receive the card free of

charge, but if you are applying to replaceyour lost or stolen card, you will have to payR140 as is currently the case when applying

for a replacement ID.It is estimated that it will take governmentabout eight years to replace all the existinggreen ID books with the cards.

The card system is in line with theDepartment of Home Affairs goal to move

towards a paperless environment.

We asked readers what they think about thecoming system.

Mr Harare Malapane said: If they can giveus one that looks the same as our driverslicences it will protect the photograph. People

remove the photos when the ID is stolen. Itwill now be protected.

Mr Sloaney Magale said: Ive heard about

the coming new system. Most peoples IDsget stolen and used by people from othercountries because they want jobs and needan ID to apply. The card system will be betterbecause it will work with a fingerprint and pin.

Nobody will be able to steal it.

Mr Errol Buthelezi said: I think it will be good.

It will reduce the theft of IDs. They must give

the card free to everyone. They are the oneswhove decided to change and we anywaypay tax.

Mr Cedrick Digoro said: Ja, Ive heard about

the card ID. I dont think it will be better. Thecard will get lost time and again and it will betoo expensive to keep on replacing it.

Mr Patrick Mndluli said: Ive heard about iton TV. It will be good and much safer. Aforeigner will not be able to take thephotograph out and put his own there likemany do now. I support it 100%. We must

pay to get it. Government cannot just give toeveryone, they will go bankrupt.

Mnr Eghardt Nel s: Ek het nog nie daarvangehoor nie. Hulle moet dit gratis vir almalmaak. Ek dink die kaart sal beter vir almal

wees.

Ms Promise Maja said: Yes, it will be good.

If it is lost they cannot use it because they

cannot change the photograph. Ill be willingto pay for it because I really need it.

Ms Abigail Magabane and Ms Joana Mnisi said: Yes, it will be better. Then nobody can stealyour ID. It will be safer. It will be like a drivers licence. Abigail: I will be willing to pay for it.Joana: No, I think they must give it out to everyone for free.

Mr Speed Kgwetiane said: The card will be

better. I dont want to pay to have my IDchanged to the card. Let people who losetheirs pay to have it replaced.

Mr Anthony Mashego said: I think this newcard system is a great achievement for our

country after previous complications at theDepartment of Home Affairs. By usingfingerprints nobody will be able to use your

ID except the real owner. I think there is noproblem to pay for the card. We will be surethat everything is secured.

Changing to a new card ID:

7NUUS28 JUNIE 2013

Me. Mariana Matthysen s: Nee, ek het nog nie van dit gehoor nie. Ek

is wel positief daaroor. Ek hou van die idee van sekuriteit met

vingerafdrukke. Dit sal meer effektief wees as n ID alleen. R140 isdarem nie baie om te betaal nie. By haar is Dine-Mari.

Mr Mphihleng Ntoampe said: Ive heard about

it. Im glad about it, but with mixed suspiciousfeelings. The first time we got the green ID thegovernment assured us that it will be moreconvenient etc. The criminality that came withit came very often from within the Department

of Home Affairs. If this card will have to go

through human hands at Home Affairs there isagain a risk of criminality. The ID fraud is often

linked with inside jobs at Home Affairs. Theymust let people working there do securityclearance similar to that needed for employeesat the Special Investigative Unit. I think at Home

Affairs this is paramount. Yes, it will be moreconvenient than the book. I won t be happy to

pay to have mine renewed from the book to acard. It will be unfair. People cannot afford it.Everyone has the right to an ID that is safe,secure and protected - it is in the Constitution!

Government must also do a big awarenesscampaign with the planned changes. It mustbe similar in size as to what happens when it iselection time so that they can reach even theeldest people in the most rural areas.

Mr Ally Malapane and Mr Simon Mabuza said: It will be safer andeasier to carry. We are looking forward to get one soon. It will be

better.

Right: Mr EmmanuelModipi said: It isgoing to work better.If I lost mine in thepast it took long to

replace and nowthey wont be able to

do anything with myID if I lose it.

Mr Noah Moagi said: It is very good. Im very

happy about it. It will be very safe. I will havemy ID book replaced with a card very soon.

Mr Martin Mokhele said: Ive heard about it.It will be safer than it is now. Yes, Ill bewilling to pay for an ID card.

Ms Caroline Jaunda said: No, I have notheard about it, but I think it is a good idea.They must let it be free to get the new cardID.

Ms Pretty Malapane said: Ive heard about it.It is a good idea. We can put it inside awallet. It is a safe thing. But I dont want topay for it. They must just give it to us.

Mr Nelson Mabelane said: Its going to begood. It will be an all-in-one card. I wontmind to pay because I know my stuff will be

safe.

Mr Lucky Nkosi said: Ive heard somerumours about the card. It will be safe. I lookforward to getting a new card ID.

Mr Enos Mabaanne said: Safety is tight. It

will also require fingerprints etc. at the bank.They can no longer come and steal yourthings. It will be safer.

Mr Cedrick Malapane said: Yes, it will bevery safe. This thing of removing the ownersphoto will not happen anymore. We will not

share an ID with anyone. It is also portable.This will be an improvement. With him isRory.

Registered Debt Counsellor & Administrator(Reg No: NCRDC 487)

from your DEBTDebt has reached an all time high in South Africa

and more consumers are feeling the pinch of the

tough economy. Easy credit is also catching up on

them.

When you find that your debt is getting out of

hand - that you are unable to make all your

monthly payments and still be able to pay for

monthly expenses such as food, petrol and elec-

tricity it may be a good time to visit a registered

Debt Counsellor.

A Debt Counsellor will help you to draw up a

budget and will negotiate on your behalf with your

creditors. It means that you will have to hand over

all the debt you have and the Debt Counsellor will

re-negotiate installments with the creditors or

through a court. You will pay over a single amount

to the Debt Counsellor who will make sure that

each creditor

receives their share. That is why it is very

important to make use of a registered Debt

Counsellor. If you are not using someone regis-

tered with the National Credit Regulator, they

may charge exhorbitant fees and you are not

sure that the money is going where it i s

intended. The registered Debt Counsellor will

ensure that you still have enough money for

living expenses. The important thing to remem-

ber is that you must have an income to be able

to go under Debt Review. You will also not be

able to make any additional debt while you are

under Debt Review. Going for help may ensure

you keep your house or car, while paying off

the debt you owe. You can become debt free!

Office in Lydenburg
