Sibusiso “Shorty” Mkhwethane passed his PLANT

SAFETY REGULATIONS ASSESSMENT and is now

qualified as a RESPONSIBLE PERSON. This will

enable him to take out permits on the plant. He is

just waiting for his Official

Appointment Letter to this effect.

Also, he received his LONG

SERVICE JACKET for 5 years

uninterrupted loyal service

along with Doctor Ngwenya.

Outstanding work from Brian & Nathi from

Matla regarding:

1)The H2 plant coding and redlining.

Due to their know-how and expertise

the issue was resolved quickly and pain free.

2)The Outside Transformer's electrical coding.

They are not qualified to do such coding but

still tried, Eskom and ABB are satisfied with the outcome.

We're introducing the Silly Billy Award where you, as

Ennead employees, nominate your co-workers for silly

things you caught them doing. So during the month,

when you come across some “silliness”, I want you to email

me at LiesleD@ennead.co.za with the full scoop. I'll keep

the nominations and by the end of the month I'll announce

the winner of the Silly Billy Award in the newsletter! And naturally

I'll include the details as to what they did to deserve the award.

Keep a sharp eye out and let's have some fun!

On 17 August all the supervisors (minus one absentee) got together at head office for a

pow-wow with Claudine, Nomkhosi and Liesle. The focus was on empowering your

supervisors to be the best leaders they can be for you. There was a minimum of

head-butting and a lot of laughs and the outcome of the meeting was a positive one.

Claudine represented Mpumalanga

at the Inter-Provincial Hockey

Tournament in held in Randburg

in August! Well played!!

th When? 24 September

Where? At the Hockey Farm

Time: 10:00 – 16:00

Who? You and your partner and your kidz.

What? A day of games and fun and laughter and bonding!

Why? Do we need a reason to get together with our colleagues and have a blast?

Food and transport will be arranged - just bring your own drinks or buy them from the club.

More information to follow…SOON!

Please let your supervisor know if you will come so that we can prepare a budget.

Jaco Botha got his

CMII certification

this month!

Nicely done!!

This is what some of the supervisors had to say:

- Great meeting for bouncing ideas and directing traffic! -

- Loyalty and professionalism to our company is key!

Anything that makes anyone unhappy just needs to be

discussed with management if it involves management. –

- If we know what makes one unhappy, we can try to fix

it. If we know what makes one happy, we can try to keep

it that way. –

- Too little time for all the issues, but affective.

Must do it more often…. -

Just a quick note to answer a question that seems

to be on many lips – the increases that Ennead awarded were not

performance-based - contrary to what the increase letters said. We apologize for the error.
