7 Million FFS for ModikwaO
n 21 September 2010 at14:00
Modikwa Platinu m Mine reached a
remark able safety milestone in
achieving 7 Million consecutive Fatality
Free Shifts. With th is remarka ble
milestone in its
relative short history, Modikwa
has joined an elite band of a few who have
excelled in their safety achievements.
The beginning of this success story was
back in 2006 when on 26th November
2006 Modikwa recorded th e first million
fatality free shifts in its history. The
second million followed in Ju ly 2007, the
third in Febru ary 2008, the fourth in
August 2008, the fif th in March 2009 an d
the sixth in December 2009. This
remarka ble achievement has resulted in
the mine being awarded the Mine Health
and Safety Council and th e Department of
Minerals and E nergy Awards six times
plus three trophies from the Association of
Mine Managers for significant safety
achievements. I t took th e mine just over
nine months to achieve its seventh m illion
consecutive fatality free shifts.
Modikwa is tru ly setting a benchmark
for the platinum mining industry. SHEQ
Leader , Alan Peers, says only employees
and contractors unconditional
commitment to total compliance to safety
strat egies and the dedication shown by
them t owards the elimination of unsafe
acts and conditions coupled with a
relationship with Labour organisations
based on trust ha s made this possible.
He says a zero mindset towards
injuries, pr evention of re-occurren ce of
injuries, and set safety standar ds and
rules are the foundat ion tha t is taking
Modikwa to the forefront in injury
prevention, stating: our goal to prevent
not only fata lities in th e mine but also
injuries as a whole is within sight a nd the
commitment going forward will make us a
success.
This exceptional achievement was
celebrated with a road sh ow by the
mana gement of Modikwa Platinu m Mine
visiting th e different Business Areas,
personally congratu lating and tha nking
every employee for th eir contribut ion (on
the front page Concentrator Plant Leader,
Tumi Molapo, leads emp loyees in giving
themselves a pat on the back as soon as
the achievement was r ecorded).
Speaking to the media and just before
thesta rtof the roadshow on Thursday,
Busines s Leader, Sean OConnor said
employees attitude towards safety is
probably the biggest contributing factor
towards successful safety mana gement at
the mine, saying a culture of believing
that zero harm is att ainable regarding
injuries and fatalities has sta rted to grow
on the mine. Without this att itude we
would not, have been able to do it. Later
he told employees at the concentra tor
plant tha tpart of the reward for the
achievement is tha t they arr ive at their
families safely after every shift to be there
for t hem.
NUMSA and UASSA representatives
at th e mine also shared their joy and
congratu lations with the workers and
mana gement, saying that they were proud
of the achievement after th e combined
effort of management and organised
labour in reaching their objective, with
NUMSA saying God was with us.
An official ha nd over of the Min e
Health a nd Safety Council and The
Department of Minerals an d Energy
Awards will take place shortly.
We believed we could do it

Waiting for the PresidentTwo villages between Echo Caves and Strydom Tunnel, Mapareng
and Mak galane (which are situa ted adjacent to each other), are
now so desperate to have their needs attended to, that t hey
resorted t o visit Pr esident J acob Zuma s office at th e Union
Buildings last week.
A spokesperson for the group, comprising six persons from
each village (12, to fill a ta xi to Pretoria) sa id they left last week
Monday just a fter 02:00 to arrive at t he Pr esidents office early.
With them t hey had all documentat ion pertaining to their
request s for service delivery, as well as a motivation t o leave
Limpopo Province for Mpum alan ga.
We know Thaba Chweu has it s own problems, but despite
their problems, there is at least a n att empt
to deliver services said Mr Timoth y Mqiba
on behalf of the Ma paren g group. At first
the t wo delegations from the villages had
problems getting access to the U nion
Buildings and they had to explain at length
why they were there. Mr Mqiba said theytold the people at the Union Buildings that
the reason why they decided to visit the
Presiden ts office is because t hey got no
feedback to any requests and that more
than 700 calls to the presidential hotline
also did not help.
When th ey were eventually allowed
into the building, personnel at the
Presidents office were friendly according to
Mr Mqiba and they were questioned at
length on the reasons for their visit. They
handed over all relevant documentation
and were promised a speedy response
before th ey left for Maparen g and
Makgalane.
On Satur day the Mapareng group gave
feedback to the community (photograph) at
the traditional authority. The response
from th e community was that should noresponse be forthcoming from th e
Presiden ts office, a delegation sh ould trek
their a gain to go and find out wha t is going
on.
Yesterday Mr Mqiba told Platinum
Gazette that they phoned to Pretoria. The
response they got was that the President is
a little bit busy at the moment with ANC
matters in Durban an d that an official
response t o their visit will only be
forthcoming at a later date.

Community development in action with ECMSamancor, Eastern Chrome Mines (ECM) recognized the need for
assistance and became involved in the Bogwasha Protect ive
Workshop for the Disabled, a daycare centre.
This non-profit organization makes use of volunteers to look after
physically and mentally disabled persons of all ages at Ga-Motodi
Village. On inspection of the cent re, ECM wa s encouraged by th e
effort of the caretakers and accepted the challenge to become
involved, said Ms Davida van der Walt of ECM. The centre onlyhad access to a single room (without any power.
In an at tempt to help the centre and invest
in th e local communities, ECM initiated a
project whereby 9 local unem ployed people,
3 from Makgemeng, Ga-Mampuru a nd Ga-
Phash a each were trained as bricklayers on
the property, and in the process their skills
were applied in extending the building with
two mor e r ooms. E CM par tne r ed wi thBeehive and Ph odi Building Construction to
implement th is project.
Earlier this year, Eastern Chrome Mines
also drilled and equipp ed a borehole for the
commun ity. It was thrilling to see tha t since
the centre received access to water, they
started a vegetable garden Van der Walt
said.
A few ECM employees heard about the
project an d decided they also wanted t o help
in t he i r pe r sona l capac i t i e s . Under t he
leadership of Lydia Myburgh, volunteers
sta rted to collect blank ets, mat tres ses, food,

Braai an d Ukosa to name a few. Although
the ingredients m ay differ, the one th ing
that never changes is that when we have
something to celebrate we light fires, and
prepare great feasts, said Ja n Braa i. We
respect and support National Heritage
Day and recognize its importance to all
South Africans. It is with t his in mind
that we would like to play our part and
unlock its value, he sa id about th e
initiative.
Ja n Braai recently broke the Guinness
World Record for the longest (in time)
braai ever h eld. This took place in Cape
Town on 17 September.
Ja n Braai att empted to get a typical braai
going for the record attempt. Amongst
some of the food he bra aied was
Kameelhout boerewors, stea ks, ribs an d
vegetarian patties.
The record setting rules required him t o
braai on wood, have at least five items on
the grid at any given time and all the food
had to be eaten.
The food was sold at a nominal price and
the funds donated to charity. Klipdrift
and Castle joined in providing the
traditional thirst quenchers at a braai.
After breaking th e record last week, J an
Braai (after th anking everyone for t heir
support etc) urged South Africans to light
the fires and braa i. So this week we asked
readers how they would spend Heritage
Day and will they braa i? We also asked
what t hey like to braa i most.

Jan Braais top tips for asuccessful braai
Nothing beats a real wood fire.
Gas is Afrikaans for a guest at your braai,not something you braai with.Braaing is the only fat-negative way of
cooking food. Even when you steam it,the fat in the food stays behind. Whenyou braai, the fat drips out.Never braai with indigenous wood. Alienvegetation like Rooikrantz and
Blackwattle drink lots of ground water.Braaing is a direct form of energy use,
from the coals, to your meat. Withconventional electricity there is a lot ofspillage between the power plant, powerlines, electricity box, wires, stove andpan. If you love the earth, braai.Have enough ice at your braai. To put in
Klipdrift & Coke, to keep Castles cold,and to treat burn wounds with.
Smoke flies to pretty people, so sendthem to the kitchen to go and makesalad.Animals eat grass, leaves and vegetables
all their lives and convert it to meat.Eating meat is like eating vitamin pills.Do not braai your steak until the flavour isdead.A braaibroodjie is your chance in life to
have your bread buttered on both sides.(Published by Jan Braai on
