Celebrations at Calvin College

as distinctions roll in

The new year started on a somewhat lownote for residents of Lannex North, south of

Steelpoort when an earth slide occurred on

the mountain adjacent to their houses.General Manager of Eastern Chrome Mines,Mr Emile Britz said the slide is not the resultof mining activities in the area, but describedthe occurrence as a natural disaster, with the

high rainfall in 2013 probably the main directcause of the slide.ECM mine management immediately wentinto action when the landslide started,evacuating and relocating the residents of

nine houses at the bottom of the mountain

temporarily to safe residences. Soon afterthe evacuation boulders the size of carsstarted rolling down the mountain.Water and electricity supply at the houseswere also interrupted and by Tuesday thisweek, access to the area was strictly

prohibited.Mr Britz expressed the opinion that the

houses are not in danger and that only threehouses, nearest to the mountain, willpossibly be damaged. But, we are not

taking any chances, the safety of people areparamount. Meetings with residents are

taking place on a daily basis to keep them

informed of the situation. They will only beallowed to move back to their houses whenthe area is completely safe. Distressedresidents are also provided with food bymine management.

One of the residents, Mr Karools Smit, toldPlatinum GazetteI grew up in that house asa boy. After school I left Steelpoort andwhen I returned and started working in thearea, me and my wife moved into the same

house. It is one of the three houses more in

danger than the other, but no seriousdamage was suffered to date. We lived 16years in that house and it is kind of sad to bechased from it by a mountain. We wereholidaying in Mozambique and when wereturned we received an urgent SOS to

return home because of the crisis.Platinum Gazette photographed the

mountain from a safe distance with a longzoom lens on Tuesday, but rolling boulderscould clearly be heard.

No water from 22:00 - 05:00 in Burgersfort

The closure of water at

night is an interim measure

and will soon be done away

as the corrective measures

are finalised.

3. Currently, LNW is managing the process by closingthe reservoir outlets at night from 22h00 till 05h00 withthe aim to allow water to accumulate.It was however realised that high lying areas get wateronly during morning hours and unfortunately not

throughout the day.4. To cater for the increasing water demands in the area,we are also in the process of finalising the process of

dril l ing 2 addit ional

boreholes to provideadditional water. This

process is planned to beconcluded in February 2014.Mr Mpamonyane added that

the problems are of atechnical nature and notbecause of a lack of effort

from LNW employees.The closure of water at nightis an interim measure and

will soon be done away as the corrective measures arefinalised.When Platinum Gazette asked why this night time closure

was not communicated to consumers in Burgersfort Mr.

Mpamonyane said: It is always our plans to communicateregularly with our customers and together with theSekhukhune District Municipality we aim to keep theminformed at all times.

We have respect for all our customers and should an erroroccur, it will not nullify the good work done by us jointly in

reaching our stakeholders at all times.The allegation that we refuse to communicate with paying

customers is unfounded and lacks truth.He added: Water is being provided without looking at thestatus of customers.It is just unfortunate that areas being affected by water at

this period is perceived to be from poorer communities.The status of customers have no bearing in the level oftheir water supply.

Residents in Ext. 5 and other high lying areas will have towait for a new pump to be installed before theyll have water24 hours a day again.Mr Simon Mpamonyane from Lepelle Northern Water (LNW)

Communications told Platinum Gazette this week that the

closure of water reservoirs during the night is a temporarymeasure.He gave the following background: The challenge facingthe Burgersfort Water

Purification Scheme, resultinginto high lying areas not getting

water regularly is due to lesspower pressure.There was an electricity power

failure in December 2013,during the week of the 14December 2013. This created

most of the challenges.It was also noticed during thatperiod that the submersible rawpump had some defects in supplying less raw water. Thepump was taken out for repair on the weekend of the 14December 2013, where a standby pump was put into

operation.

Since the installed standby pump delivers 191l/s ascompared to the main pump having capacity output of 231l/s this resultsinto less water being pumped into the Plant.The shortfall resulted into reservoirs being below 50%

which resulted into high lying areas not getting water.Most affected areas are those in high lying areas supplied

from the main reservoir of which the level is consistentlyaround 45%.

Actions taken to remedy the situation:1. The main pump has been sent for repair and is expectedto be returned soon to solve the raw water challenges dueto holidays in between

2. The process of purchasing a new pump with the samecapacity is at an advance stage and it shall be sourcedsoon

KB 300 LX(extended cab)Isuzu bakkie, a desirable thing for most people when they have loads to transport and to do

the work they have to on all sorts of terrain.

The Isuzu extended cab 4 x 2 bakkie with the 3 litre D-Teq diesel powerplant is one of the

offerings in the market not to be overlooked and certainly fits the desirable frame like a

hand fit in a glove.

Platinum Gazettetook the bakkie, compliments of Westvaal Steelpoort, for a spin on

route to photograph the landslide at Lannex near Steelpoort on Tuesday.

General impressions are good. The bakkies interior is very comfortable, although not

luxury car plush (and it isnt meant to be). Al the creature comforts are there, from climate

control, bluetooth telephony, front loader CD and RDS radio with mp3 and USB audio input,

cruise control, multifunction controls on the steering wheel and powered collapsible side

mirrors for when you need to squeeze into a tight spot (like between two taxis or the devil

and the deep blue sea).

This is not a family car (only two seats), but ideal for a couple or should you carry a lot of

stuff around that you do not want on the back of the bakkie (that is where the really, really

big and heavy stuff, 1142 kg, go). Open the Rolls Royce style suicide doors to the extended

area at the back of the front seats, there are lots of space for luggage, with an included

lockable bin for everything from valuable equipment to spices

One little gripe though. The female part of the couple who own a brand new extendedcab bakkie will miss the vanity mirror on the drivers side sunshade (a few men as well, you

know the modern man).

Driving the bakkie is a pleasure. The powerplant propels the vehicle with purpose and

with 130 kW @ 36000 r/min and torque of 380 Nm between 1800 and 2800 r/min on tap,

there is enough grunt for a full load or to fulfil the manufacturers promise that the optional

towbar will easily be up to a 3500 kg trailer with overrun brake (750 kg unbraked). So, there

you have it, more power that you will probably need to do whatever you want to do with the

bakkie.

The vehicle sits comfortable on the road and the engine noise is not intrusive or irritating.

We did not have the opportunity to load the bakkie, but suspect that it will even feel better

with a few kilogram at the back (this thing needs to work).

On the rough the bakkie also handled with aplomb. We did not need to try the rear diff

lock, but it is fitted and may be needed in this area from time to time.

Quality of fit and finish was good, but as soon as the newspapers reporter shifted the

vehicle into reverse the first time, the gear lever knob turned around, as if it was not fitted

properly.

When needing a bit of luxury and interior space on a workhorse bakkie, this one should

be on top of your short list. Definitely not cheap at close to R360 thousand, but worth it if it

suits your needs. Get it at Westvaal Steelpoort, tel 013 230 9230.

Christmas and New Year has come and

gone and many South Africans are startingthe year with a heap of debt.

At the end of last year there were more than20.2 million credit-active consumers listed atcredit bureaus. The number of people withbad debt records increased by 71 000

people in the last quarter of 2013. Onlyabout 51.9 % of credit-active consumers arein good standing with about 48% struggling

with bad debt records.

Platinum Gazetteinterviewed readers beforeChristmas and at the beginning of the yearto find out what they think about thesestatistics and how they planned to survivethe festive period and start the New Year.

Mnr. Brian Muir en

Me. Wilrie Muir s:Kerstyd gaan oor

Jesus. Mensebehoort nie skuld temaak vir geskenkenie. Dis nie waaroor

dit gaan nie. Menseis oor die algemeente vinnig om skuld te

maak. Jou werk isnooit vir seker nie,so dink mooi voor jyskuld maak. Byhulle is Micari.

Mr Mpho Mokoena said: People dont work,

they just get grants from government andthen they can get credit on that. Theyllnever be able to repay! This is bringing oureconomy down. People spent too much over

Christmas and now they make loans forschool things. With him is his wife Refilweand their son Adamelang.

Mnr Tinus de Wet s: Mense kry te makliklenings. Hulle gaan nie regtig na watse skuldmense reeds het voor hulle nuwe lenings

toestaan nie. Ons het probeer in die budgetbly oor die feestyd. Mense wat dit nie doennie vat 4 of 5 maande voor hulle weer reg isas hulle in Januarie n lening moet maak.

Ms Gugu Mkhonto said: You have to

budget before Christmas so you can cope inJanuary. I budget. People end up havinglots of loans because they dont budget.

Me. Louise Naud s: Mense gee te maklik

krediet. Ek spaar vooruit en ek is n regtebargain huntervir Kersfees. Die regeringbehoort beter beheer uit te oefen oor hoemaklik mense skuld kan maak.

Mr Thabo Kumalosaid: I had a budgetfor December and I

now have a back toschool budget. It istoo easy to make aloan. People now go

to loan sharksbecause theyve

spent all their money

in December.

Ms Mpho Ntimane said: Those statistics

cannot be! It is easy to get a loan and that iswhy many people have bad records. Youmust budget in time for the festive seasonso that you wont need to make debt.

Me. Joyce Komane s: Mense moet mooi

kyk in Desember sodat hulle geld virskoolklere, school feesen stationeryinJanuarie het. Mense dink dis maklik omrekeninge te kry maar dan kan hulle nie

betaal nie.

Mnr Sam Mphogo s: Dis maklik om n loante kry. Die mense maak loans om ander

skuld te betaal. Dis sleg dat mense tot op

grants loans maak. Ek het gespaar virKersfees en het vir my kinders klere gekoop

en net lekker met die familie gekuier.

Mr Edward Kgoete said: It is too easy toget loans. People must not make loans for

Christmas, they have to budget. This was

not the first Christmas ever there isChristmas every year. I saved up Christmastime.

Ms Arabia Mohlala said: People should

have limited their spending over Christmas. Isaved for Christmas. People on grants and

pensions should not be allowed to makeloans. Only people with permanent jobs anda good income should be allowed to make aloan.

Mr MD Mampa said: It is not so easy to

make a loan these days. There are manypeople affected by bad credit records. Ittakes a lot of time to get your name removedfrom a bad credit record. People should stay

away from the loan sharks you only benefitthem and they dont really help you. Wemade it a happy Christmas within our limits.

Mr Danil Phasha said: Yes, it is true. It is

because living expenses went up so muchthat people have so much debt. Christmas isto me like any other day. People shouldsave if they want to do something special.

They must also remember that grants are forfood. People should not borrow money on agrant income.

Mr Davis Makua said: Most peoples livingwage is too low. They cannot afford to buyeverything and that is why they go to the

loan sharks. This must be a lesson to the

young generation. Go to school to try andget good jobs.

Debt as a problem in South Africa:


7/12


Mr Steve Mosoma said: It is t rue thatpeople have that much debt. Hopefully theydid not misuse their money at Christmas. Isaved because I know Christmas is coming.It is too easy to get a loan, but it becomesdifficult to pay it back. With him is Ashley.

Ms Pontsho Morena said: There are manyloan sharks doing business illegally. So it iseasy for people to get loans. It is not fair.People who get pension and grants shouldnot be able to get loans on those payouts. It

is unfair to the kids who should benefit fromthe grants. Loan sharks charge too muchinterest as well. People should watch how

they spend their money. They should buyonly what they really need. In 2013 I did notsave. It was the worst possible year for me. Iplan to start saving from now for this years

Christmas. Although I did not save, Ienjoyed myself anyway.

Mnr. Jannie van der Walt s: Hulle gee temaklik lenings. Mense moet elke jaar budget

vir persente vir Kersfees. Almal vergeetwaaroor Kersfees regtig gaan.

Mnr. Ron Taljaard s: Dis belaglik hoe maklik mense skuld kan

maak! Die regering moet beter beheer uitoefen. Ek dink as jy joubonus in Desember kry, gebruik dit oor die feestyd, ontspan en doeniets wat jy nie andersins kan bekostig nie.

Mr. Elvis Nkuna said: You must live withinyour budget. If you earn R100. Live onR100. People must learn to controlthemselves.

Mnr. Danie Olivier en Me. Marinda Olivier s: As jy n bonus kry,spaar dit of spaar deur die jaar vir die Kerstyd. Daar is deesdae te

veel reckless lending. Jy word so gereeld gebel deur maatskappyewat jou n kredietkaart wil gee. Daai ouens werk op kommisie sohulle vat nie nee vir n antwoord nie. Cash loansmaak mense dood.

Right: Mr CollinsZamba said: Peoplemust learn to saveand live within their

means. The majorityof people who aregetting paid do notget enough to coverall their expenses.

They must however

try. The governmentand police must actto prevent peoplefrom borrowing fromillegal cash loansand on grants. Illegal

cash loans must beclosed down. Iveused my bonus

during December.

Mnr. Jan Visser s: As jy nie kan spaar deurdie jaar nie het jy n probleem met Kerstyd.Dit behoort onwettig te wees om teen partykoerse geld te leen soos daar op die oomblikgedoen word. Ek kan glo dat daar so baiemense met slegte skuld is omdat dit so

maklik is om skuld te maak.

Mnr. Enos Makwana s: Mense spandeerte veel geld in Desember. Hulle moet geldhou vir Januarie sodat die kinders kan skool

toe gaan. Nou gaan hulle na die cash loans.Dis nie mooi nie. Dis die eerste maand vandie jaar en dan het hulle nie geld nie. Baie

van die mense het baie geld op krieket enalkohol spandeer. Dis nie die kinders setoekoms nie.

Mr Sipho Nzimande said: Most South Africans fail to plan for year

end. We are sometimes forced to take more than we earn. We mustnot just make a braai because we see our neighbours do it. We getourselves into problems with debt. People giving loans and accounts

must check that the person applying is suitable and will be able topay it back. Dont just jump into a loan because you want to marry awife!

A Youth Empowerment Seminar was recently

held in Burgersfort. South Africas future is inthe hands of the youth.One of the young speakers of the day, Ms Shei laMmutle (2012-2013 Miss Limpopo) shared apersuasive statement that the word impossible

does not exist but only a state of mind whichchains or blocks a persons destiny.

We need to know that the word freedom and itsimplication have got no meaningful role in ourcountry until everyone is free from poverty,illiteracy; exploitation and defrauding by theelites. Young people should shun menacingactivities and involve themselves in activities that

are self uplifting which will keep them abreastwith knowledge to thrive in their lives. Let us all

play our respective roles to try to build apromising future for our next generation saidMr Pabalelo Mabilo, one of the days organisers.(Article and photographs: Pabalelo Mabilo,
