After the rain ...

A child in Dresden outside Burgersfort negotiates the

slippery dirt road into his village with a single tyre (who

needs 4 x 4?) after a heavy storm last week Thursday.

Across the road from Dresden the storm caused some

Businesses

elect steering

committeeRepresentatives of businesses in the Tubatse area who attended a

meeting on Tuesday in Burgersfort with a view on the establishment

of a business chamber for formal businesses, elected a steering

committee consisting of 12 members to further facilitate the proscess

of establishing a busniness chamber.

The meeting was held on Tuesday at Laerskool Burgersfort, with

local busninessman, Mr Carl Lourens explaining to all present why a

business chamber is neccessary. He introduced Mr Corinus du Toit

of AHi (a national multi-sectoral business organisation consisting of

corporate, medium and small businesses and affiliated business

chambers) to the meeting. Mr Du Toit, after explaining what AHi

does, also elaborated on what a business chamber could gain when

affiliated with AHi and how the organisation interacts with other

business groups on regional, provincial and national level. He also

explained the heft the organisation has with regard to interaction with

large players in industry and government on all levels.The meeting decided that the steering committee, under the

leadership of Mr Lourens (Magaba Filling Station) will investigate

future affiliation with AHi and also advise a public meeting (to be held

early 2014) on the next step towards a business chamber for formal

businesses in the area. Absa Banks representative at the meeting,

Mr Neville Brown, said the bank could sponsor affiliation fees of a

fledgling business chamber at AHi for an initial period. Interested

businesses who missed Tuesdays meeting can contact Mr Lourens

at 082 257 8082 for more information.

R200 thousand or 4

years for illegalcigarettes

A man who had been arrested in

February this year at Ohrigstad in

connection with illegal cigarettes,

pleaded guilty on a charge of posession

of illegal cigarettes in the Lydenburg

Regional Court last week Friday.

Abdul Ramdera was sentenced to

pay a fine of R200 thousand or to go to

jail for four years.

Warrant Officer Andr Coetzee of

Ohrigstad Police Station said people

should not be caught with storing,

transporting or having illegal cigarettes

in their posession (smuggling) as the

law will not be tolerant towards them.

Ramdera was accused of having

2162 cartons of illegal cigaresttes in

his posession.

Ga Malepe is (not) getting a bridge?Platinum Gazettes reporter, visiting Ga Malepe on Wednesday, noticed that all

work on a new access bridge in the village has stopped. Enquiring from residents

about the reason, they told the newspaper the people building the bridge said they

will be back by the first week in November, but now they stay away, we do not

know why. As it was just before deadline, the newspaper also doesnt know and

had no time to investigate. Maybe they are just slow?

Dwarsrivier Mine brings Christmasjoy to Shaga Primary School

The Dwarsrivier team visited Shaga Primary School and brought Santa with them.

Mr Mthi Mtshengu helps to hand out snack boxes to the

learners.

Dwarsrivier Mine Senior General Manager Mr

Mthi Mtshengu told the learners that they are

happy to visit them and celebrate the joy of

Christmas with them.

Every learner received a gift. Different

gifts were given to the various age groups

who attend the school. This varied from

educational toys for the small ones to a

specially packed toiletry bag for the older

children. Everyone also received a snack

box with sweet treats, juice and chips.

Mark 10:13-16

People were bringing

little children to Jesus to

have him touch them,

but the disciples rebuked

them. When Jesus saw

this, he was indignant.

He said to them, "Let the

little children come to

me, and do not hinder

them, for the kingdom of

God belongs to such as

these. I tell you the

truth, anyone who will

not receive the kingdom

of God like a little child

will never enter it." And

he took the children in

his arms, put his hands

on them and blessed

them.

Dwarsrivier Mine spread some Christmas joy at

Shaga Primary School close to the mine on

Wednesday this week.

The Dwarsrivier team that included the Senior

General Manager Mr Mthi Mtshengu and his various

departmental heads wanted to make sure that this

years Christmas is special to the children attending

the school.

They brought along a Christmas tree and

decorations. Every learner was able to put a

decoration on the tree. The tree will now stay at

the school and the children will every year be able

to decorate their own Christmas tree.

A surprise visit from Father Christmas was greetedwith cheers and excitement. Gifts were handed out

to the various grades and every child also received

a snack box.

Singing and a bit of poetry were also included into

the program. Mr Mtshengu and his team told the

learners that they are the future and they should

work hard, but also that they are special and must

remember that God loves children. Every gift

contained a special Bible verse (see colour box to

the right) to help the children to remember the

message brought to them. The School Principal,

Mama Sarah thanked the mine for their visit and

everything they brought along.

Electricity problems a headache

for businesses in BurgersfortBusiness in central Burgersfort wasfrustrated and angered by an interruptionof their electricity this week.The power went out on Sunday evening atabout 22:30 and various business owners

including Magaba Filling Station, GlassKing Hardware and Mooifontein Kafee

reported the problem. Conflictingmessages from Eskom came back to thebusiness owners reporting that the powerhad been restored while it in fact had not.

Some business owners, like Mr CarlLourens from Magaba Filling Stationended up with three reference numbersafter speaking to Eskom seven times. InBurgersforts blistering heat the

businesses were running on generators tokeep essential parts of their operationsgoing.After almost 24 hours without electricitythe fault was discovered. A tripped switch,

that could have been flipped within anhour after the first report of the power

failure was logged.APlatinum Gazettereader this weekalso reported that street lights in the AloeRidge and Elephants Hill area are

constantly on. Perhaps the recentproblems with electricity confused theautomatic switches that should have thelights switch on at night and off in theday?

Mr David Tebele said: The economy will godown because sponsorships, jobs etc. will belost if there is no longer alcohol advertising.

People will still drink. Theyll just go straight

to the shop and buy alcohol without any

advertisements.

Mr Prince Shongwe and Mr Collins Zamba said: Alcohol is a business who helps manycharities and do lots of sponsorships. They also create jobs. Drinking will not stop if there is

no longer any advertisements for alcohol. People will still buy it. Young people learn to drinkfrom their brothers, not from advertisements.

Mr Mervyn Reddy said: It will have no effectif you ban the adverts. Taking alcohol off the

market is a diffirent story, but taking away the

advertising will have no impact to stop peoplefrom drinking. People will still drink. It willonly be negative for sports sponsorships.

Mr Patson Sekgobela said: Cigarettes arebetter than alcohol. One cigarette will not

have the same damaging effects as one

drink of liquor. 75% of all deaths on the roadsare because of liquor. We can go withoutliquor sponsorships. Banks must start tosponsor sports.

Mr Tlou Marutha said: They must not stopthe adverts. If people want to drink, they want

to drink. You cant stop them. Everyoneneeds to entertain themselves.

Mnr Keith Henriques s: Gewoonlik s hulle

wat die die oog nie sien nie, maak die hartnie seer nie, maar ek dink mense sal steedsdrink. Daar is goed en sleg aan die wegneemvan advertensies. Dis sleg dat onssponsorships sal verloor. It will make ussuffer.

Me. Priscilla Baird en Mnr. Theo Baird s: Hulle moet glad nie die advertensies wegneemnie. Die ekonomie sal daaronder ly en dit sal sosiaal geen verskil maak nie.

Mr Petrus Mosehla said: Advertisementsmust stay, just manage it properly.

Left: Ms Lebo Ramaube said: It will be like with cigarettes. People will still continue toconsume alcohol with or without advertising. The sporting community will suffer if they dontget other sponsorships.

Me Annette Esterhuyse s: Dit gaan nie dieverbruik minder maak nie. Dis sleg vir sport

want die drankmaatskappye is die mainsponsors van baie sporte.

Left: Mr Meclecntic Mphahlele said: Peoplewill still smoke and drink - no matter if it is

being advertised or not. If this law goesthrough many of the countrys sports willhave to find new sponsors. Everyone likessport.

Mr Stephen Mphego said: We must take our

time. Rushing things is not good. Thecommunity at large must also get a chance tocomment. We dont want to promote things

like alcoholism, but people taking a sip andconsuming alcohol responsibly is fine. Dont

just stop companies from advertising.

Health Minister Aaron Motsoalediscontroversial suggested changes to the law toban advertising of alcohol is in its final stages.

Motsoaledi told eNews Channel Africa: Whydo kids need nannies? Because there arecertain things they cant do for themselves -they need someone to take care of them. We

(the state) are playing that role.This law comes at the expense of the media

industry, the expense of the development of

sport, arts and culture which depends onsponsorships and at the expense of employeesof small wine farms, breweries and bars.According to Econometrix who conducted astudy for the Industry Association forResponsible Alcohol Use 12 000 jobs will be

lost if the ban on alcohol advertising takeseffect. It will also cause a loss of R1.7 thousandmillion in tax revenue and half that in imports

and exports. A loss of R7.4 thousand millionGDP is expected.It is being claimed that a ban on alcohol

advertising will reduce consumption. Howevera lack of evidence for this claim saw Canada,Denmark, New Zealand and Finland reviewtheir bans on alcohol advertising. We asked

readers what they think about the proposedchanges and their impact.

To advertise alcohol or not?
