As Platinum Gazette went to press yesterday, the result of the Municipal elections in Greater Tubatse Municipality was not yet
finalised. The election itself went without major problems, but they did occur, like in Penge, where the Sekhukhune District
18 May - a quiet Mayor, Mogobo, David Magabe (top left), cast his vote. Ballot papers arrived late, but voting was well under way by 09:00.
Long lines were not observed and in areas such as Kutullo, the taverns were rowdy and much busier than the voting stations.
Of all the parties contesting, the Democratic Alliance put up the bravest fight, but it was soon clear from preliminary results that
day in GTM tha ANC will remain in the seats with a large majority vote. What will change is the faces, with some prominent names that will
not be seen in the future as they were removed from lists, while some will be redeployed. All-in-all a successful day, and the
haste with wich services were delivered during the past month a bonus! Bottom left is former Ward one councillor, Josias
Mahlake, busy casting his vote at Banareng voting station at Leboeng.

gutted - ‘Not related to
the election, service delivery
or the mines’
One of the voting stations for the Muncipal Elections in Ga- Masha near Steel Bridge had to be
moved to the adjacent government service buildings on Wednesday because three
classrooms were totally destroyed by fire after been set alight the during the night. Greater
Tubatse Municipality spokesperson, Mr Kubane Tolo (in the photograph), showed the
newspaper around at the scene at Ngwanangwato Senior Secondary School on Wednesday.
He told the newspaper that the arson had nothing to do with the elections or service delivery,
or with communities’ issues with mines in the area, but probably stems from a quarrel between
pupils and the school’s principal. Negotiations between the parties broke down earlier this
week.
Mr Tolo told the newspaper the security guard guarding the terrain saw a fire in one
classroom, and also saw two figures running away and disappearing through the fence at the
back. He could do nothing to stop the fire, which was started in a classrom used as an office
and a library.
The provincial commissioner of Police also visited the scene by helicopter and the election in
the area was in no way jeopardized. Driving away from the scene a tyre was burning in the
main road from Jane Furse (quite a long way from the school). Residents quickly explained
“this has nothing to do with the school, this one is about the mines, Two Rivers and Xstrata.
The people are still not happy”.
