Several villages,
one march
A number of disgruntled residents from villages around Leboeng, near Strijdom tunnel, arrived in Burgersfort on
Wednesday morning, marching from the Twin City shopping complex to the offices of Greater Tubatse
Municipality.
The group was far smaller than the 3000 marchers originally planned for by the organisers, but their vigour
and problems were not negated by their numbers.
The organisers told the newspaper that transport to Burgersfort was a big problem when planning to bring
the villages’ problems to the attention of the authorities, but that the people staying behind wait anxiously for
feedback from those who return from the march. The problems the group brought to Burgersfort were not a
surprise, as it seems that these problems now surface all over the country, all concerning service delivery. This
is not the first protest march from far-flung villages, and the demands on the memorandum (pictured below, left)
also hold no surprise. They want electricity, better water reticulation and better roads.
On Wednesday evening when staff of Platinum Gazette readied the newspaper to go to press, an urgent
invite was received by SMS form Mokupung “come and see for yourself early tomorrow morning how people and
animals must share the same water source”. Because of time restrictions the invitation had to be declined.
What the marchers are most unhappy about is the that according to them, the Greater Tubatse
Municipality’s Integrated Development Plan (IDP), which stretches to 2013, do not make provision for their
needs. The mayor, Councillor Ralepane Mamekoa was not available to receive their memorandum, instead he
was respresented by councillor M. Manamela. Before handing the memorandum over to her (photograph: top
right), spokesmen of the group vehemently criticised the IDP, tearing one of the IDP documents to pieces (front
page). The march took place under heavy Police escort and everything went peacefully. After the handing over
of the memorandum the crowd dispersed, seemingly to do some shopping before returning to their villages.

municipal income and expenditure, and
were in many instances required to give
their blessing to planned action by the
administration to rectify certeain problems.
With regard to MIG projects the council
heard that the refurbishment of the sewer
reticulation and sewer works at Penge is
progressing well.
100 percent of the the civil works is
complete and a transformer has been
installed. Other eletrical installations at
the plant is still in progress.
The water treatment plant at Mooihoek
is 75 percent complete, but progress is very
slow. The contractor will now try to speed

skilled labourers.
The Steelpoort bulk water supply
NUUS 3
project is 48 percent complete.
Construction on the concrete structures
has started and the access road to the
reservoirs has been completed. The Moroke
water supply project is 99 percent
complete. A contractor is currently
rectifying problrems on a snag list.
The Selala sanitation project is 60
percent complete. The contractor is
currently busy with excavations of pit holes
and laying concrete slabs. The contractor

The Mooihoek/Tubatse bulk water
supply project (phase 1) is 99 percent
complete. A contractor is currently
installing manhole covers along the
puipeline.
Robots almost completed
With regards to other capital projects in
the municipality, the projects are at
various stages, most of them in the
beginning stage.
The installation of traffic lights and
upgrading of intersections in Burgersfort
are 95 percent complete.
According to the report before the
council the contractor is just waiting for
the electricity from Eskom to complete the
project. The total cost of this project is R6
376 266.46.
The number of jobs created so far from

What is your opinion on a three year

On Tuesday this week Eskom submitted
their proposal to increase the price of
electricity with 45% every year until 2012
to the National Energy Regulator of South
Africa (Nersa).
Should this proposal be approved it will
come into effect on April 1 next year for
consumers who buy their electricity
directly from Eskom and from 1 July for
those who are supplied through their
municipalities.
Economists and consumer groups fear that
this increase could have major financial
implications on households that are
already struggling to keep up. It is also
expected to push inflation above the six
percent target mark set by the Reserve
Bank.
According to Business Report on
Wednesday this week, Ms Ina Wilken,
vice-chairwoman of the SA National
Consumer Union said: “...government
should have stood surety for Eskom’s
expansion programme, which should have Ms Helen Mabawa said: “It will affect Mr Gilbert Chego said: “No, it is unfair. Mr Moeketsi Monokoa said: “The cost of

organisations. They have approached the
UK-based International Consumer
Research Trust to investigate claims made
by Eskom that their electricity is cheaper
than in other countries.
Eskom defended their decision by saying
that the expected increase in demand for
electricity should see them double their
output by 2020. They are planning to
spend over R385 thousand million in the
next five years to construct new plants
that will help meet the expected 80 000
megawatt output that will be needed to
satisfy consumer demands in the coming
years.
The proposed document is available on
Eskom’s website and the public can
download it in order to submit comments.
Nersa will be hosting public consultations
before a decision on the proposal is taken.

Mr SM Mabokwane said: “I think it will be

Interesting to know:
Eskom CEO, Mr Jacob Maroga told the press on 6 October that they plan to increase free basic electricity to poor households throughout South Africa from 50kW per month to
between 70 and 100kW per month. In 2002 government adopted the policy of allocating 50kW per month to poor households free of charge. (Information: www.sagoodnews.co.za)

Kolskoot vir Spekskieters

Die Wildevy Manne het op 10 Oktober weer ‘n Kleiduif skietkompetisie aangebied. Daar
is in spanne en as individue deelgeneem.
Die Spekskieters bestaande uit Eric Erichsen, Gerhard Kruger, Philip Smit en Hendré
van Graan het as die wenspan uit stryd getree.
Op individuele vlak was Eric Erichsen die beste skut van die dag met LJ de Jager tweede
en oom Lood de Jager derde.
Die dag is by die 4x4 baan gehou en veiligheid was weereens ‘n prioriteit. Elke skut het
twee oefenskote by die verskillende punte gekry voor daar met die kompetisie begin is.
Daar is dan na die kleie geskiet vanaf verskillende gemerkte punte by elke skietpunt. Die
skut kon self kies of hy of sy wou staan of kniel.
Die Wildevy Manne het almal bedank wat die dag ondersteun het en almal wat ‘n bydrae
gelewer het om daarvan ‘n sukses te maak.

Links: Eric
Erichsen was die
beste skut van die
Korrel, kleie en kruit
dag. Hy was ook
deel van die
Spekspieterspan
wat die wenspan
was.

Veiligheid
was altyd
‘n prioriteit
tydens die
kompetisie.
