Let me get you something to eat or to drink had been the invitation from Councillor Nkosi
Josias Mahlake when the Platinum Gazettes editor bumped into him one evening at a local
restaurant before the last local government elections. I am going to be the new mayor and I
plan a lot of projects to develop Greater Tubstse he said then.
And so it was, but earlier this week the Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) of the
ANC in Limpopo announced that Mayor Mahlake, amongst several other mayors, had been
recalled by the party.
Former Mayor Mahlakes recall was a long time coming, with those in the know
whispering into the newspapers ear just before the recent national and provincial elections
that the mayors days are numbered, alleging that he has been summoned to Polokwane
and told to resign.
The newspapers effort to get it confirmed did not produce facts, so we never published
anything at that stage. Mr Mahlake also did not answer his phone.
On election day the former mayor was present at a voting station the newspaper visited
at Leboeng and we discussed the rumours with him. I defeated them and I am in the
process to rectify whatever problems there are, he said.
Alas, it seems that his political party only waited for the dust of the election to settle
before the axe fell.
Concrete reasons for the former mayors demise was not furnished, but clues are
revealed in Limpopo Premier, Stanley Chupu Mathabatas speech to the PEC on 21 June
just before the mayors were recalled. He said The one issue that we must continue to deal
with both at provincial and local government level is the problem and/or perception of
corruption which we inherited from the previous administration which led to five(5)
departments being placed under administration.
Our intervention within local government will also include restructuring of some of the
municipalities where we believe such intervention will enhance service delivery. In this
respect, as this leadership we will refuse to be blackmailed by individuals who have grown
bigger than the ANC and as such, when they deliver their budget speeches in their
municipalities, they just decide to attack the ANC out of the blue.
These are individuals who did not question the wisdom of the ANC when they were
deployed into the positions that they are holding. Now that are being redeployed, they are
doing that. It must be stated here and now that the ANC does not owe anybody any position
in government. All its deployees should thank the movement for having given them an
opportunity to serve our people and they should do so with humility. The ANC can deploy
and redeploy its cadres as it deems fit. He also sated that Mao Tse-tung in his Selected
Works on The Role of the Chinese Communist Party once attested that We must affirm
anew the discipline of the Party, namely: a) The individual is subordinate to the organization;
b)The minority is subordinate to the majority; c) The lower level is subordinate to the higher
level; and d) The entire membership is subordinate to the Central Committee. Whoever
violates these articles of discipline disrupts the Party unity.
It is in this context that at this PEC we wish to state that this time around, wrong
practices within the movement will not be launched from Limpopo.
So, what now? Apparently the PEC will decide who the new mayors, also in Greater
Tubatse Municipality, will be and after their decision, will announce how the party lists will be
adjusted. In the meantime we have asked readers what they think of the issue on pages 6
and 7.
GTM Mayor recalled
On a lighter note - loads of fun was to be had at Tubatse Build Its day of
entertainment and lucky draws that took place on Saturday. This colourful character
reminded of the caterpillar in Lewis Carrols Alices Adventures in Wonderland who told
Alice ... at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must
have been changed several times since then. (Chapter 5)

Top teams rewarded
Modikwa Platinum Mine hosted their quarterly production
function last week Thursday.
The top mining teams were rewarded for their good work
with a special trophy and a hot meal at Jorges Resort
near Steelpoort.
The teams were encouraged to keep up their good work
and reach for even larger targets.
The purpose of the event was explained to the newspaper
as follows: These guys are very important to everyone at
the mine. They are the ones doing the hard labour that
brings about the money to pay everyones salaries. This is
just one of the ways management and everyone else would
like to show their appreciation.
Teams from North and South Shaft were included as top
performers. The teams were encouraged to spread their
work ethic to other teams on the mine as well.
Team members received trophies with their
names on from management to recognise
their production achievements.

Focus on adult education at Glencore Eastern Mines
Last week Friday Glencore Eastern Mines celebrated
their Adult Education Training (AET) with an open day
at Thorncliffe Guest Farm.
Through courses at the AET Centre people will be able
to become literate in English and Mathematics. The
AET programme is assessed in relation to the
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) criteria, which
determine the level of previous formal and informal
learning a student had.
The training process relies on a facilitator that will
make sure subject matter is covered through pre-
designed lessons. The AET Centre is ideal for
organisations that need to train a large number of
learners in a short period of time.
Glencore provides the following AET programmes:
Oral Basic Education in English; Communication in
English and Mathematical Literacy (Level 1 - 4); Life
Orientation, Natural Sciences, Technology,
SMME and EMS for learners competent in
GET CA English and Mathematics.
Various speakers filled the days
programme. Many of the Glencore
management attended the day, including Mr.
Johan van Tonder and Mr. Johan Combrink.
Municipal representatives and community
structures also formed part of the
stakeholders in attendance.
A special certificate awards ceremony took
place to reward AET learners on various
levels of training. Community
representatives were encouraged to go back
to their communities and spread the word
that everyone could have a chance at
becoming literate. Persons wishing to obtain
more information about the AET programme
can contact Mr. Daniel Kekana on 083 279

The protracted months long strike in mainly the Rustenburg area of the platinum industry is
over after Anglo American Platinum Limited announced that it had signed a 3-year wage
agreement with the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU), the terms
of which take effect retrospectively, from 1 July 2013.
The wage agreement includes acoordinbg to Anglo American Platiunum:
An annual increase of R1,000 per month in basic pay for A and B-band employees in years
1 and 2 and R950 per month in year 3
Increases in basic pay of 8% per annum for C and D1 for years 1 and 2 and 7.5% for year 3.
Living-out allowances and Housing rent subsidies for employees will increase in line with
CPI in year 1 and remain flat in years 2 and 3
Housing allowance will increase by 8% in year 1 and remain flat in years 2 and 3; and
Other allowances will increase in line with salary increases in year 1 and there will be no
further increases in years 2 and 3. This is in order to fund the increase agreed to in basic
pay.
The company says the principles that underpin the agreement seek to achieve a sustainable
future for Anglo American Platinum for the benefit of all stakeholders and to provide
employees with the most competitive increase in the current financial circumstances. The
agreement is expected to increase the total labour cost-to-company by 10.5% in year 1;
7.7% in year 2 and 7.1% in year 3 or 8.4% on average over the 3 year period. The
company has also undertaken to assist returning employees in the first month with the
provision of food parcels, health supplements, transport relief and the cash payment of back
pay within 7 days for the period they were not on strike as the principle of no-work no-pay
applied for the duration of the strike. Anglo American Platinum will further assist employees
in managing their indebtedness and personal finances by providing legal aid and personal
financial training to ensure they take a more robust approach to their personal finances.
Furthermore, it has been agreed that no strikes will be undertaken, related to any of the
items covered by the wage agreement, for the three year duration of the agreement. As part
of the Companys overall cultural transformation that had already commenced, a process of
building bridges between management and employees will be the first step in ensuring a
safe return to work. The safe return to work programme also addresses health and safety
protocols and refresher training on general mine operations. Once operations are in a
position to start up safely, production ramp-up will begin. It is expected that steady state
production will be achieved in the last quarter 2014.

Limpopo to host International
Co-operatives Day celebrations
The newly-established Department of
Small Business Development (DSBD)
together with the Limpopo Economic
Development, Environment and Tourism
(LEDET) and the South African National
Apex Co-operative (SANACO) will host
the International Co-operatives Day
celebrations under the theme Co-
operative Enterprises Achieve
Sustainable Development for All.
The event will take place in
Polokwane on Saturday, 5 July 2014. The
Minister of Small Business Development,
Ms Lindiwe Zulu says the objective of the
International Co-operatives Day
celebrations is to increase public
awareness about co-operatives and their
contributions to socio-economic
development of communities in countries
all over the world. According to Zulu, this
years theme seeks to encourage the
growth and the establishment of co-
operatives all over the world, including
encouraging communities, government
and individuals to recognise the crucial
role co-operatives can play to achieve the
Millennium Development Goals as far as
job creation and poverty alleviation are
concerned.
LEDET MEC Mr Seaparo Sekoati
says the more than 1 500 co-operatives
members from 700 co-operative
enterprises who will descend on
Polokwane from all over the country to
celebrate the International Co-operatives
Day will provide a perfect platform for the
country to take stock of the road that has
been travelled in an effort to put co-
operatives in the mainstream of the
countrys economy.
The celebrations will also highlight
the positive role co-operatives play in
providing a network of opportunities
among themselves and between them
and members of the public aspiring to be
co-operatives.
With the support of the Small
Enterprise Development Agency (Seda)
we are glad that the seventy five co-
operatives from Limpopo and other
provinces of the country who will be given
a chance to exhibit their products and
services during the celebrations will
prominently showcase on a national
platform what the country and in particular
the Limpopo province has done to
enhance the capacity, competitiveness
and sustainability of our co-operatives,
says MEC Sekoati.
SANACO President Mr Lawrence Bale
says co-operatives can be a significant
catalyst to economic transformation and
help South Africans to realise the full
benefits of democracy.

On Tuesday this week the ANC in Limpopo
announced that they are recalling four
mayors. Greater Tubatse Municipalitys
mayor, Cllr. Josias Nkosi Mahlake was one
of those who were recalled. Some media
reports this week stated they will be
redeployed. One of the reasons given for the
change is the provinces target to improve
service delivery.
Platinum Gazette asked readers whether
they heard about the mayors recall and
what they think about the situation.
Mr Lawrence Kgoete said: Yes, I heard
about it. I think it is the right time to change
mayors. Look at this town! Things are not
going well our roads have potholes all
over! I think the new mayor when appointed
will make a difference. He or she must learn
from the previous ones mistakes.
Mr Aaron Maredi said: Yes, Ive heard that
they recalled him. This will not make a
difference to service delivery. Changing
mayors is not the solution. There are many
things happening in town and they are not
taking any steps to stop it. Eg. crime at the
robots to the KFC. Every week you hear
about stock being taken from the back of a
bakkie. The mayors just occupy a position,
but dont make any difference.
Mr Council Moyo said: Ja, ja, ja Ive heard
about that. The new mayor will have to see
that things get done. There are a lot of
potholes in this town. Eish! Its a disaster!
Mr Samuel Dlamini said: Ja, I saw on the
news that he is gone. If the new one brings
change for the better, he or she will do well
as mayor. They must learn from this ones
mistakes.
Mnr. Pieter Carelse en me. Santie Carelse s: Ons het gelees wat daaroor in die media
ges word. As dit gaan oor dienslewering wat moet verbeter is dit goed dat hy gaan. Die
nuwe een moet luister na die mense op straat. Dit is een ding om te kritiseer, maar gee ook
krediet waar dit toekom. Ons munisipaliteit doen eintlik baie goed in ag genome die
uitbreiding wat in die laaste paar jaar hier gebeur het. Ons is nou 14 jaar hier en jy kan nie
glo wat het in daardie tyd verander nie. Kyk net hoe vergelyk ons munisipaliteit met dorpe
soos Lydenburg.
Right: Mr Gerald Dikgale said: No, I am not
aware that he has been recalled. It is possible
that the new one may improve service
delivery, but this government is very lenient.
The government have very good policies, but
people dont enforce it. Look here in
Burgersfort. For months nothing is being done
about the robots that are not working down
there at the Mall. People just do nothing about
it. We also have many potholes.
Mr Samuel Molobela (also known as DJ
Sammy at Tubatse FM) said: Yes, Ive
heard. It is good. The ousted one was not a
good leader. Look at what happened with
the Red Ants coming to destroy hawker
shelters. He said that he did not know about
it. How can that be? The new mayor must
be available to the people and listen to the
councillors.
Mr David Legodi said: No, I did not know he
was recalled. It will be good if government
aims to give better service delivery. Lots of
people around Burgersfort are struggling
with jobs, maybe this new mayor can help
with that.
Left: Mr Patson Sekgobela said: No, Ive not
heard. I hope the new one will bring better
services because he or she was sent to do
so. This is a message to all government
workers the ANC is not here to play games,
but to deliver the services the people deserve.
Theyll recall the new one too if he or she fails
to deliver.
Did you know?
Cllr. Mahlake used to be an educator
before going into politics full time.

7 NUUS 27 JUNIE 2014
Ms. Nancy Seganye and Mr Martin Mabasa said: Yes, weve heard about it. The new mayor
will do better than the previous one because he or she will learn from this ones mistakes.
That person will pull up his or her socks.
Mr Rudy Choshane said: No, Ive not heard
about it. I dont think it will make a difference
to get a new mayor. Where there is money,
there is crime. The people of Tubatse will
suffer until they die. The leadership chow the
money. I think the ANC must have the
national government and the other parties
must rule the local government. Maybe it will
be better then.
Mnr. Bennie Wheeler s: Ek dink dis goed.
Dalk sal ons paaie beter raak. Ek het nie
geweet die vorige ene is weg nie, maar dalk
sal die nuwe burgemeester sorg vir n
skoner dorp. Dalk is nuwe bloed goed.
Mense raak te gemaklik.
Mnr. Tiaan Buitendag en Me. Nicolene Buitendag s: Nee, dit is die
eerste wat ons daarvan hoor. Ons hoop die nuwe een doen iets aan
die paaie!
Mr Peter Masethe said: Yes, obviously Ive heard
about it. It is good for the people of Tubatse. When
you are mayor you must reveal yourself to the people.
This recalled one always sent other people to receive
memorandums at protest marches. The people
wanted him, but he was never available. Perhaps if he
made more time for the people, there would have
been less protests.
Mr David Matemane said: I think it is for political reasons
that he has been recalled. I heard that they are being
recalled because of the this new party the EFF. I hope
the new mayor brings better service delivery. We are
looking forward to that. We need someone skilled who
can make people deliver regardless of all the politics.
Left: Mr Siyabonga
Vayeke said: I
heard some
stories about it. I
think sometimes a
change is good.
Knowing all the
difficulties the
previous one
experienced, a
change may be
good.
Right: Mr Doctor
Malepe said: No,
Ive not heard
about it. It is so
important to give
service delivery.
We are in need of
it. The new mayor
will have to
perform.
