Safety first through Mines Rescue Station

On Wednesday this week mines in the area celebrated the opening of the Mines Rescue Services Steelpoort Rescue Station. Mines Rescue Services is a private sector, non-profit organisation that, through training of volunteer brigades men, provides the resources and the expertise for an effective emergency service. With and increase of 38% from 2007 to 69 mines in 2012 in Limpopo and more on the way, the need for a local Rescue Station became more and more pressing. Before the closest Mines Rescue Station was in Evander. This station however became too small for the needs of all the mines it had to serve. It was also too far away. Every mine must have dedicated, trained teams who can assist with an emergency at the mine. The number of people working underground determines the number of teams. There are currently some 900 volunteer Rescue Team Members that make up 144 rescue teams servicing the mining industry. During the last 10 years, Mines Rescue Services attended to an average of 48 fires requiring 7941 rescue teams (794 on average per annum) resulting in an experienced pool of rescue teams that are internationally held in high esteem. Mines Rescue Services consulted with all the local mines and Samancor generously donated the land where an old chrome mine is situated for the stations location. Construction on the station started in May 2011. 60 000m3 of bulk excavations was required on the site and the full spend on the build amounted to R4 771 million while an additional R1.8 million was required to equip the station. The Steelpoort station is unique due to the fact that it is the only station in South Africa that will not use mock-up underground situations, but use the old chrome mine for underground situation training. Mines Rescue Services will provide and maintain the following services in the mining industry: Trains (voluntary) rescue personnel to competency of the required skills. Provides expert advice and consultancy services. Remains proactive to changes in technology and the environment. Provides and maintains specialised equipment for the use during fires and incidents. Mr Alwyn Pretorius, Executive director and current chairman, Mines Rescue Services, officially opened the building. He represents Harmony Gold Mining Company where his position is Executive Health and Safety. Mr Godfrey Oliphant, Deputy Minister for Minerals and Energy assisted with the cutting of the ribbon. In this case a fire hose cut with a saw. Also in attendance was the President of the Association of Mine Managers, Mr Matthews Nzimande, Mr Emile Britz the general manager at Samancor Eastern Chrome and Mr EC Becht from Anglo American Thermal Coal. Mr Willie du Preez will be the local Superintendent of the Steelpoort Mines Rescue Station. The central message from the various speakers was that safety comes first and then production. Throught the establishment of the station stakeholders also affirmed their commitment to training and safety on the mines in the area. After all the official speeches, a tour of the facility as well as a short underground tour showed visitors what has been put in place and what can be expected from the station in the future.

Education problems: Who is to blame?

This week President Jacob Zuma gave a live radio simultaneous interview with Talk Radio 702 and its sister station 567 Cape Talk. The hour long interview focused on various things including corruption in the police service, plans on placing curbs on the judiciary, the medical parole of Jackie Selebi, the disciplinary actions taken against Julius Malema and the trouble within the Department of Education. According to President Zuma, the trouble with textbooks only affected black children. (While locally Laerskool Ohrigstad, Laerskool Burgersfort and Steelpoort Academy all also experienced problems. These schools are fully race integrated). He said that the problems stem from the legacy of apartheid. You are dealing with teachers that comes from the Verwoerdian system...his or her attitude towards education still needs to be worked on. We are not dealing with a problem of today; we are solving a problem of centuries ago. We asked readers what they think about his comments regarding the problems in the Department of Education.

Mr Daniel Sekano said: No, the kids should get everything these days. It is not like in apartheid. Government is failing to provide. Many officials enrich themselves and then blame others for the problems.

Ms Tshepisho Malapane said: That is so old! Jacob Zuma has to deal with the current MECs and staff.

Mr Neville Makonko said: You cant blame the past for what is happening now. Implement new policies and rectify the problems of the past.

Mr Keith Henriques said: The people there right now are supposed to be in charge of education. They are pulling Verwoerd up from death every time. SA must bring back Christianity to schools. Bring back godliness.There are also too many people responsible for things - too many cooks spoil the broth.

Mnr Harry van Emmenis en mnr. Ferdi van Vuuren s: Nee, dis dalk eerder Jacob Zuma se skuld as wat dit Verwoerd se skuld is. Ms Angie Maishoane said: No, I dont agree. What Jacob Zuma is saying is wrong. These people dont know how to use the money and they need some training.

Mr Sandros Rampadi and Mr Serongoa Lloyd Malleka said: No, it is the fault of our government. They are looking after their pockets and they dont care about education. Some of those in government are not educated themselves. It is for Comrades only. Their children go to private schools where there are no problems. This must end.

Mr Calvin Mokgotho said: It is not about apartheid. It is all about us. We have to fight for our future and government must take responsibility for the young people of this country.

Mr Justice Thobakgale said: I dont agree with him. Those who are leading the Department of Education are lazy. They are not working. They must take care and get rid of those not working hard. Especially in Limpopo where books were thrown out and not delivered.

Mr Samson Motene said: Previously I was working at the British High Commission and Ive seen how things work. I dont agree with what Zuma said. People before complained about apartheid, but now they have their own government and should carry on with a good thing. They must now stop crying about things done by people who are not in government now.

Bo: Mnr. en mev. Lategan s: Nee, dis as gevolg van mense wat nie hul werk doen nie dat daar probleme in die onderwys is. Mense is onderbetaal en onopgelei. You pay peanuts, you get monkeys. By hulle is Ellouise en WJ. Mr Jazzman Ben Sibindi said: No, its been 18 years of democracy now. You cannot blame someone who is dead. Blame the people in charge. Back in apartheid we were buying books, not getting them. They must employ the right people in the right positions with the right qualifications.

Regs: Me. Elrien Bekker s: Dit kan wees dat die geskiedenis n rol speel, maar as daar tans apartheid is kom dit van die teenoorgestelde rigting af. Vir alles wat verkeerd gaan kry apartheid die skuld.

Old Stake at Wildevy 4x4 Day

This 1935 Stewart American Stake Truck is living history and will be on show at the Wildevy 4x4 Day. It is the pride of its owner Gert Venter who restored it from a wreck in a sunflower field to its current glory. I begged a farmer in the Free State for four years before I eventually bought it from him. I then set about restoring it. I contacted the American Trucking History Society and they assisted me with more information about the truck. In 1991 the truck was finally restored to its former glory and valuated at $18 000. It also became the only 1935 Stewart Stake Truck to be registered and on the road. The Stewart Motoring Corporation filed for bancruptcy in 1939 so not all the parts could be restored with originals, but it is about as close as you will get. Oregon pine was used at the back and although it has a starter it can also start with a crank handle at the front of the truck. It also comes from a time before compulsory indicator lights (a headache to explain to traffic officials). Venter is no newcomer to restoration. He also owns a 1936 steel wheel Mysterious Case Tractor and a 1941 Harley Davidson. After the last restoration in 1991, 20 years passed and this year Venter felt it time to do a bit of retouching. Hendriks Panelbeaters sprayed the whole truck and it is now a showpiece again.

Leboeng SAPS celebrate Mandela Month with learners

On Thursday last week Ntabane Secondary School at Kgautswane village celebrated the birth of Nelson Mandela in style. The school management decided to honour their youth who participated in annual Miss SAPS Leboeng by giving them chance to showcase their talent in front of other learners and teachers. It was the first time the school entered into the competition and were happy to be rewarded with two trophies, one for their traditional dance which got position one. Millicent Mashele (first) and other two learners Philistus Mojela and Hildah Mashaba were in the top five of the beauty contests. It was a huge achievements for them bearing in mind they were not there when the competition started last year. Mr Monareng ,the Principal who was not present due to some commitments, prepared a very courageous speech that was read by Educator Molatudi. He encouraged learners them to work hard for the coming examination The Leboeng SAPS station commander, Captain Moholane, was also invited to motivate learners to concentrate on their studies and do away from drugs.

SAPS women reach out

Women in blue from Leboeng SAPS and Ohrigstad SAPS jointly added value to the two Leboeng families on 19 July 2012 as part of Mandela Day celebrations. At about 11:00 the women started their journey by staging a roadblock whereby 26 motor vehicles were stopped and 46 passengers were searched. One person was caught driving a motor vehicle without a drivers licence. After the roadblock they visited the family of Lizzy Sebuyane at Lepelle village next to JG Strydom Tunnel. They donated a wheelchair to 9year-old Thato Sebuyane who is disabled. The family didnt expect such a huge present. They completed their journey by visiting the Marule family at Newstand Leboeng, where groceries were donated. Leboeng SAPS station commander Captain Moholane expressed his excitment and praised the ladies and sponsors for adding value to the two needy families and encouraged them to work even harder next year to reach more families.

Thorburn continues with innovative training

In 2011 Thorburn Security Solutions (Northern Region) embarked on two very important training topics, English Literature and Coaching. Other training topics in 2011 were focusing on Baseline Risk Assessments as Safety Tools and Occupational Health and Safety Act orientation. All these courses was outsourced to subject specialists. In order to continuously improve and maintain standards, the training been extended in 2012. English Literature training for supervisory and senior security officers continues and results achieved thus far have been remarkable. A real difference is seen in writing skills and an eagerness to learn is evident amongst the two groups currently under training. Coaching training, under the guidance of Callie Roos & Associates was presented to more than 40 managers/supervisors in 2011. The initial results were remarkable and in many instances attitude changes resulting in enhanced performance were achieved. Now a four day follow-up session was organised. Each manager had the opportunity the past week to spend at least 30 to 60 minutes with Coaching specialist Alexis Moshodi, (photo left, an associate of Callie Roos & Associates) discussing their coaching experiences. Managers opened up and Alexis Moshodi gained a lot of knowledge on the effectiveness of coaching in Thorburn Security Solutions. Vast improvements from 2011 were evident and deficiencies for future focus were identified thereby focusing on continuous improvement. The training were concluded with general feedback on barriers and strengths in coaching and a motivational life skills speech by Mr Moshodi, focusing amongst others on the transition of individuals reaching stages of significance to having a real purpose in life. The week of 23 July 2012 will see the start of a new HIV Aids Awareness focus. An external specialist, Tiisetso Motomboti, will spend valuable individual time with Thorburn employees raising HIV Aids awareness. It is estimated that this program will continue until 1 December 2012.

Classic win in Dresden
OK Grocer vs Classic from Dresden
OK Grocers soccer team played a friendly game against Classic from Dresden on Saturday last week. The game was played at the Dresden sports ground and the OK Grocer team played for the first time in their new kit (they are in the red and white). Dresden residents and OK Grocer supporters were quick to fill the open seats provided by old heavy machine tires. We played very well against Classic, but unfortunately we lost, reported the OK Grocer team public relations officer Mr Davis Makofane. The final score was 7-1. Both teams managed to score during the first half, but Classic put on the pressure and problems with the defenders and strikers cost OK Grocer dearly. The Classic goals were scored by Taetso Komane (3), Koketso Mabelane (3) and Prince Mabilo (1). Paul scored for OK with a free kick. We would like to say sorry to our fans. We will go and sit down and rectify our mistakes, Makofane said. We would once again like to thank the OK Grocer management for the new kit theyve bought. The team will probably play their next game in two weeks time. (Information: Davis Makofane).
