Dwarsrivier Mine
Dwarsrivier Mine assists with lighting up villages
Dwarsrivier Mine assisted Greater Tubatse Municipality to repair and do maintenance on various lights in the municipal area. The municipality is very dependent on the assistance of large companies as the budget is simply not big enough to address all the needs in the area. In many areas the high mast lights were broken and technical expertise was needed to fix them. The areas in which the mine assisted was Mashamthane, Ntoampe Sport Ground, Leboeng, Ohrigstad, Motaganeng, Tjate, Malekane Cross, Marula Mine area, Lehlaba Cross, Maphopha and Phiring. One of the problems that were discovered is the theft of electricity. Some of the high mast lights could not shine to full capacity as local residents near the poles illegally connected their homes to the supply. This is not only dangerous and illegal, but it is also causing the lights to not function at optimal levels. In some areas such as the Motaganeng cross, there was a pole but no lights or electrical connection existed. The Mr Lesley Ndou who was contracted to work on the project with Mr Moses Mosoma from Greater Tubatse Municipality and Mr Pius Monyela from Dwarsrivier Mine. They are standing at the cross towards Motaganeng where a new light was installed to light up the area. installation of lights and the supply of electricity was then part of the deal. The high mast lights are making it much safer in areas that were previously dark and dangerous. Dwarsrivier Mine, contractors and Greater Tubatse Municipality worked together on this project through 2013 to ensure that the necessary work could be done. On Tuesday this week the last of the lights were being fixed. This time it was at Mashamthane and a crane was brought in to assist with reaching and fixing the lights at the top. Mr Pius Monyela from Dwarsrivier Mine and Mr Moses Mosoma from Greater Tubatse Municipality were on site to make sure that things go smoothly. The municipality appealed to residents to look after the infrastructure that is being put in place and not vandalise or illegally connect to electrical points. Thanks to the partnership between Dwarsrivier Mine and Greater Tubatse Municipality the way is now lighted in many areas.

Thanks to this partnership there is light in many areas again

The work was done throughout 2013 in various villages in the Greater Tubatse Municipal area.

Twickenham case postponed

Beware

Social crime coordinator at Burgersfort Police Station, Constable Victoria Maluleka, this week made the public aware of crime on the streets, by visiting automatic teller machines (ATMs). In view of the importance of theses machines in Burgersfort, especially during the festive season, constable Maluleka said it was important to make people aware of the crimes that can take place around teller machines. She advised that should people be uncertain regarding the use of the machines, they should rather try and do their business inside the bank (although it will be very busy)! She also put up a number of safety hints the Police have at ATMs and requested that the public take note of it. One of these tips is to never trust a stranger and also to be wary of thieves posing as Police or security personnel.

In the photograph people throng through the gate at Mecklenburgs Court on Wednesday just before 10:00. In fact most of them (59 to be precise) appeared on charges relating to public violence, illegal gathering and intimidation of management at Anglo American Platinums nearby Twickenham Platinum Project. The case against the 59 was postponed to 11 December 2013 during their brief appearance. Meanwhile, spokesperson Abednico Mashabela (one of the accused, by the way) told the newspaper that a delegation comprising of community members was scheduled to engage in discussions with the mines management at the local municipalitys premises in Burgersfort yesterday (Thursday). We are talking to them on neutral ground about the memorandums we gave them and the grievances we have he said. We do not know what wil happen with the court case, but we need to continue discussiong the issues at hand he added.

Much better Thanks!
