affected in sixteen villages of Greater Giyani and Greater
Tzaneen combined. There were eight villages (Guwela,Gawula, Vuhehli, Xitlakati, Matsotsosela, Khashani,

Vhembe District recorded 458 households affected in
Makhado, Mutale and Thulamela by the recent strong
winds and heavy rain. The Capricorn District has reported
40 households, three schools and a nurses’ home were
affected in the Blouberg Local Municipality. Sekhukhune

shelters, fourteen blankets and sponges to all affected
villages within its locality.
GoGHSTA stressed that the Department’s statement
is issued based on preliminary reports received. Some
affected households have recovered from these incidents.
All affected districts are working around the clock to ensure
that final reports are submitted to CoGHSTA via the
Provincial Disaster Management Centre for consolidation
for submission to MEC Ishmael Kgetjepe. As per Disaster
Management Act 57 of 2002, municipalities are required
to report any incident that occurs in their area to the
Provincial Disaster Management Centre.
The MEC for CoGHSTA, Mr Ishmael Kgetjepe called
on members of the community to be vigilant and
contact the Provincial Disaster Management Centre
on this toll free number 0800 222 111 to report
incidents of disaster. Kgetjepe encouraged parents and
guardians to warn children not to cross or play near rivers
for their safety.

“We are in a democracy and supposed to have water, but
we do not have”, says Mrs Thabita Mnisi of Extension 10 in
Burgersfort. “This is not the first time. We struggle. I hadto buy water I was supposed to have. Water, toilets and
service delivery in general are problems we experience every
day. Nobody tells us anything and we do not know when it
will become better. We are struggling....”

No water: your viewsLarge areas of Burgersfort was without water for two full days. This is what readers had tosay about the issue.

The questions
we asked“Sir
Water supply in certain areas of Burgersfort had been and still is intermittent to saythe least. Areas such as Extension 5 has for example experienced water supply cuts
in certain instances for more than 24 hours at a time, on other days water supply for
three to four hours, and on certain occasions water has been cut for the whole night.
This has been going on for the past three weeks.
Water users, who most of them incidentally pay their water use bills, received no
notice about this situation and the water cuts. Businesses and residences suffer. The
call centre, when they answer the phone, give explanations that differ from day to
day. One reason supplied is that water from the river is dirty and cannot be purified
fast enough. The other is that a pipe is giving a problem and they are working on it,
or residents are using too much water during a hot day and even that the problem is
located in your erf, because there is water supply (even when your neighbours also do
not have water).
Residents in the old part of town think they are discriminated against because all the
mine properties and grand houses have water. Why are they victimised? they ask.
They are fed up with not knowing what is going on and when the situation will be
normalised.
Platinum Gazette newspaper of which undersigned is the editor, is doing an article
about the situation and will be delighted to be enlightened by Lepelle Northern Water.
We understand that technical difficulties may be more likely the reason for cutting the
water supply rather than blatant discrimination and the newspaper will be more than
glad to convey it to readers. We will also be more than glad to convey to our readers
why you chose not to communicate anything to them, and why your call centre is all
but useless when water users communicate with you.
Should undersigned be under the wrong impression, please supply the correct
information and answers to questions in this email by 08:00 on Thursday 07 November
2013.”

Geared to encourage
local empowerment
Modikwa Platinum Mine has gone the extra mile to ensure
that local businesses and people will reap the benefit of
the mine in their midst.
Ms Mmasaku Mohale (photograph left) explains that
they’ve been working on this for a long time.
“We’ve been working very hard to formulate and finalise
the Local Procurement Policy and we are very excited that
it has been signed and sealed,” she said.This new policy will require all businesses that are putting
in tenders for work at Modikwa Platinum Mine to have at
least a 30% local component.
“This is a great one. It means
that no matter how big or
small the job is, local people
will get a chance to be part of
it and benefit”.
Although this does not mean
that Modikwa Platinum Mine
will be giving tenders
exclusively to local suppliers, all suppliers will have to
prove that they will incorporate a local component into
their business at the mine.
“In this way companies will also be doing skills transfer
and have money going back into our immediatecommunities.”
Although the Local Procurement Policy document was only
recently finalised the impact of it is already showing.
“We’ve seen it - one contract can impact on many lives and
provide jobs where there previously were none. Just look
Who to contact?Local entrepreneurs and companies can approach
Modikwa Platinum Mine’s Business Development Officer,
Mr Phineas Makuwa for assistance and guidance toregister on the mine’s database of vendors.
Contact him on 013 230 2000 during office hours to make
an appointment.
A 30% local element is now a requirementat some of the small local businesses doing work at
Modikwa”.
Modikwa Platinum Mine is leading the way in making sure
that a minimum 30% local involvement is a prerequisite
on their tender documents.
To locals seeking tenders with the mine Ms Mohale says:
“Contact our Business Development Officer. Get your
company onto our vendor database and work through theright channels”.
She adds that contracts are not all of the same size and
length and tenders are advertised as services are needed.
That is why it is important that local
entrepreneurs and businesses keep
an eye on the notice boards in the
traditional affairs offices of the
seven villages surrounding
Modikwa.
Her advice is that those who receive
contracts should remember the
open door policy.
“We prefer that those who experience problems speak to
us so that we can assist where necessary and if needed
implement a plan B. Perhaps we can assist with resources
or advice before it is too late and a supplier fails to deliveron time or as required.”
“The most important part of being a local supplier is that
you still have to be competitive. You have to provide the
mine with quality work at the right price, otherwise there
will be no long term relationship”.
‘You have to provide the
mine with quality work
at the right price’

Success stories
Company Name: Insanita (Pty) Ltd
Started at Modikwa: The company is a joint venture
between Motlokwa and Leahlaba Construction.
Motlokwa currently has 60% and Leahlaba 40%. The
joint venture started their contract at the beginning
of August 2013.
What does the company do? “We do material
handling at Modikwa. The company is doing well.
This is the first big project for Insanita (Pty) Ltd.
Mr Strydom Makofane from Insanita (Pty) Ltd says:
“We want other entrepreneurs out there to know
that they can make it. Just look at us, we’ve made
it”.
Challenges: “So far we’ve been lucky to not have
any serious challenges. We were lucky to have the
financial and technical capacity to carry out the
projects entrusted to us”.
Other achievements: “We are amongst the first to
have a company consisting solely out of locals doing
work at Modikwa Platinum Mine and we are very
proud of that ”.
The future: “We hope to after 3 years scale down
on the joint venture and take over from Leahlaba as
a stand alone company. We are planning to be thenew Murray & Roberts or Frazer Alexander or
Stocks & Steffanuti in 10 year’s time.
To Modikwa: “Modikwa is really keeping their
promises. We appreciate the opportunity to work at
Modikwa and for their assistance through their
resources. Thank you to Mr Bob van Rhyn and the
Business Leader Mr Mokgosi Nkoana.
To the community: “Local companies must keep on
Company Name: Matimatjiatji Mampudima
Community Companies are a Section 21 company
representing the seven villages that surround Modikwa
Platinum Mine.
Started at Modikwa: They’ve been working withModikwa since Modikwa started operating in the area
more than 10 years ago.
What does the company do? It focusses on the
development of the villages surrounding Modikwa
Platinum Mine. These villages are: Matimatjatjie,
Mamphahlane, Mpuru, Diphale, Suwe, Sehlaku and
Maroga Villages. Things like water supply, electricity,
roads, tribal offices, schools, employment from the
villages, learnerships and bursaries are all part of what
the company try to improve.
Mr Strydom Makofane and Ms Nomsa Nkosi says: We
look after development companies. Entrepreneurs who
would like to do business with Modikwa Mine mus t
make sure that they register on the vendor database
and attend site meetings when required. It is also
important that they put in the tenders or quotations as
required because some people think that attending the
meetings is enough. Remember everything is possible.
You can be assisted through our Section 21 company
and the mine’s SED department.
Challenges: Community members don’t understand the
process to get a contract or work at the mine. Perhaps
they need some training in that. Some expect the mine
to just give them work without them even tendering.
Many of the communities also focus on Modikwa andforget that there are many other mines and large
companies around. The little that Modikwa have cannot
be enough for everyone. They must als o remember that
when Modikwa calls entrepreneurs to attend Entrepre-
neur Development Workshops to go and familiarise
themselves with the processes for tendering etc.
Achievements: “The biggest achievement is that we as
a Section 21 company now have development
companies and they’ve employed 246 people from the
start of Modikwa’s operations until now. We were able
to sustain them. Through the SED department we were
also able to build a sewing factory which is now training
15 learners. In January 2014 it will officially open and
start supplying overalls to mines in the area. We also
build a bakery which is operational and is supplying
bread to the seven communities. This created 12
permanent job opportunities. Two community halls
were build at Mamphahlane and at Maroga. At
Mamphahlane the hall is divided and from January next
year it will serve as an ed ucentre where learners in our
communities will find additional resources such as
mini library and computer centre to assist them with
their studies. At Maroga the hall is utilised for
training and tribal related matters.
The future: “We want to live up to the foundingmandate of the Section 21 company. That is to make
profit through development companies and declare
dividends to the seven communities we serve. We
are now on track to in future do that. In the future
we would also like to see our Section 21 company
building a Technical school from our profits. We’ll call
it Mampudima Matimatjatji Technical School”.
To Modikwa: Modikwa’s learnerships and bursaries
helped a lot. Many people in our area are now
educated because of Modikwa. Out of Modikwa’s
approximate 5000 employees about 3600 are from
surrounding villages. We also appreciate the fact that
African Rainbow Minerals section of the joint venture
at Modikwa has supplied the seven kgoshi’s in our
villages with transport. They’ve also recently adopted
the Local Procurement Policy and are already
implementing it. They are really trying to live up to
their promises.

Community Companies being developed
Company Name: Leko Mining
Started at Modikwa: In 2006 but during the World
Economic Melt Down things were scaled back and we
did not have work. We started working at Modikwa a
second time last year August.
What does the company do? Vamping and sweeping.
This means that when the big rocks have been
removed we collect all the finer material that was left
behind. There is a lot of platinum in that fine material.

is there to assist. The community must use the
channels that are provided. Make use of the Section
21 companies, put in tenders and stay away from
disruptive behaviour that will not benefit anyone.

Mr Simon Kgoete says: “A business is not
something you just talk about. You may think
business but as long as you don’t do it, it is not
a business and will never be. You must offer
something that people need. You also need to
be consistent.”
Challenges: Leko Mining is a joint venture
company. When we first started partnered
companies were Imphquko and African
Mining. After three months the partners
started pulling out saying that they are not
making money. In this way we had more than
one joint venture until the group we are today
was formed.Money was always a challenge,
but through the assistance of Mr Gary Strong
we formed a business plan and approached
new possible partners to help with funding.
Achievements: “We are proud of the
perserverance we showed. Perhaps one day
we will also be seen as business people of this area. We
have created jobs for our local people. We employ
approximately 200 people at the moment and that is
the greatest feeling. We’ve assisted to minimise the
number of jobless people in the area. Many families are
living because of Leko”.
The future: “We want to see ourselves doing mining as
well, not only vamping. We are getting mining exposure
and it would be great if in the end we could be a mining

Local people show they can

company”.
To Modikwa and about Modikwa: “Modikwa has
played a vital role. From the beginning Modikwa trained
a lot of local people and employed them. The economy
in Limpopo improved because of Modikwa and other
mining houses around here. Because of them
Burgersfort is also growing. Now at month-end you
must park your car and go on foot because it is too
congested. Modikwa has done their part. We wish
Modikwa all the best because then they will be able
continue to assist communities near them”.

Disabled or just disrespectful?This photograph was taken last week Thursday when a motorist hogged
the disabled parking space at a filling station. The driver (who was
seemingly perfectly healthy) sat in the vehicle while having a lengthyconversation with friends through his window.
Traffic nightmare continuesThis photograph wassubmitted by a reader who
was stuck in the chaotic trafficat the Eland Street/DirkWinterbach crossing lastweek Friday.Drivers simply created their
own new lanes to push
foward into the traffic that wasalready at a very slow pacedue to congestion. The onlyoption for drivers scared ofdamage to their vehicles is togive way.
No traffic officers were in thevacinity to try and restoreorder as peak traffic hit town.
