Warning against
initiation
malpractices
The Police in Limpopo have issued a stern
warning to surgeons who will either try their
luck or take chances and stage initiation
schools without proper documentation this
winter.
The Police say year after year innocent
boys lose their lives as a result of circumcision that went horribly wrong due to incompetency of unregistered surgeons and Police
will have none of such this season. Every
year, reports are also received of young boys
or men who are kidnapped and taken to
initiation schools against their will.
A provincial joint priority committee
comprising of the SAPS and the departments
of Health, Co-Operative Governance, Human
Settlements and Traditional Affairs (CoGHSTA) and other strategic stakeholders has
been established to oversee and monitor the
smooth running of the schools and curb any
unbecoming and criminal behaviour. Parents are urged to verify the legitimacy of the
Initiation School with their local Traditional
Authorities before sending their children.
Police will also not tolerate the abduction
of boys into these initiation schools in the
disguise of culture and tradition. Those found
to be forcefully dragging innocent boys to circumcision will face the wrath of the law and
Police will be on the lookout for that.
The Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant
General Fanie Masemola, says the Police
will work hand and glove with all relevant
stakeholders to ensure that no casualties
are reported in Limpopo Province. Even
those approved Initiation Schools will not be
spared from unannounced visits and inspections. No boys under the age of 12 must be
admitted at these schools and we will be out
to guard against that as well. Those who fail
to comply will have the Police to deal with,
Masemola warned.
He further urged parents and family
members of young boys or men who are
kidnapped and taken to initiation schools
against their will, to report such cases to the
Police immediately without fail. It is important that such cases be reported to the Police
immediately for us to respond swiftly and rescue these individuals before they are harmed
and traumatised, he stressed.

Limpopo Department
of Health reponds

Following Platinum Gazettes article on the parking behaviour of one of the Departments
vehicles in Burgersfort (A doctor with parking problems - page 3 26 June 2015), the following response has been received from the Department:

Subject: RE: Inquiry about official vehicle usage

The department of health would like to state that no official is allowed to run
personal errands using any government vehicle or ignore any traffic rules. The
matter raised by your organization is currently under investigation and action
will be taken against anyone found guilty of any misconduct in this regard. The
public is urged to report any form of government vehicle misuse to the following
Toll Free numbers: Premiers Office Hotline 0800 864 729 and Health MECs
Hotline 0800 919 191.

Letter:
The new access bridge over the river in Mokutung village adjacent to Echo Caves
is now completed. In the past a dificult road had to be traversed through the river
ravine and in the rainy season the two parts of the village became cut off from each
other.

Setting an example?
I have recently moved back to the Burgersfort area after 4 years away from the town,
and I must say that I am impressed with the developments here of such things as the
new malls etc.
However, every day I drive to work at around 05:00 and pass our Shining Golden tower commonly known as the Municipal building. Each morning I see every
single window blazing with beautiful golden yellow light. Whilst this looks awesome I
ask myself what are the Municipality doing to assist the country with the shortage of
electricity and power saving? This not only sets a very poor example to every resident
of Burgersfort it also adds to the frustration of load shedding issues that we all have
to put up with.
In this day and age of technology it is not difficult to install a system in a building
that will automatically switch off the lights in the unused offices, and I am sure that
the savings generated from this would pay for the installation over and over again.
Not only would this contribute to the electrical grid I am sure the finances saved could
then be steered towards repairing the traffic lights in the town that never appear to
work (but that is a moan for another day).

James 5:16 NIV

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for
each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a

Dwarsrivier: definite
agreements concluded
Assore has advised shareholders that it has now concluded definitive agreements
with Africa Rainbow Minerals (ARM) in respect of an in-principle agreement to buy
ARMs 50 percent indirect interest in the mine.
Dwarsrivier is presently owned and operated by Assmang Proprietary Limited
(Assmang), the equal joint venture between Assore and ARM. The ore produced
is sold both on the export market and locally. Assmang will sell Dwarsrivier to
K2011105280 Proprietary Limited, a special purpose company (Dwarsrivier SPV)
in which Assore will, pursuant to the completion of the transaction, own the entire
issued share capital.
The completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including
the approval by the Minister of Mineral Resources.
Assore told shareholders that the company holds the view that the long-term
fundamentals for the chrome ore market support an investment into the commodity. Having participated in the ownership of Dwarsrivier, through Assmang, Assore
believes that the transaction offers it an opportunity to make such an investment into
a world-class operation, and to expand its own chrome capacity.
The parties to the transaction have agreed a retrospective effective date of 1
July 2014. Assore will pay the purchase consideration of R450 million in cash. To
secure this payment obligation, Assore will deposit the purchase consideration into
an interest-bearing escrow account ultimately payable to ARM.
Assore has also agreed to refund any investments made in Dwarsrivier between
1 July 2014 and the completion of the transaction, which are supported by Assore,
up to a maximum amount of R800 million. In addition, any cash profits earned by
Dwarsrivier between these two dates will be transferred to Dwarsrivier SPV as part
of the transaction.
On 22 April 2015, the Competition Tribunal of South Africa approved the implementation of the transaction in accordance with the Competition Act, 1998. Assmang
will continue to manage Dwarsrivier until the transaction is completed and have
mandated a committee comprising experienced employees of Assore and ARM in
this regard.
Following the implementation of the transaction, Dwarsrivier will become a subsidiary of Assore.

Bokoni under the spotlight

Atlatsa Resources says the company remains in discussions with Anglo Platinum surrounding the future sustainability of Bokoni Mine between Burgersfort and Polokwane
(Atok) as well as potential alternative financial support for the company, having regard
to current challenges within the South African platinum industry.
Atlatsa made this announcement after certain conditions in a letter of financial
support was not met. On November 10, 2014, a letter of support was received from
Anglo American Platinum Limited (Anglo Platinum) to provide financial support up to
a maximum of R422 to March 31, 2016, in the event of unforeseen circumstances
not within the companys control that may result in Bokoni Platinum Mines Proprietary
Limited (Bokoni Mine) not meeting its planned cash forecasts (letter of support). The
letter of support was subject to certain terms and conditions, certain of which were to
be met by June 30, 2015.
After various interactions between Atlatsa, Anglo Platinum and the Department of
Mineral Resources Atlatsa advises that the following conditions to the letter of support
have not been met within their prescribed time frame:
Definitive agreements in respect of the purchase by Rustenburg Platinum Mines
Limited of at least a further 25% in the Kwanda North prospecting rights and at least
60% in the Central Block prospecting rights, have not been executed; and
Given the depressed price of Atlatsa shares and potential dilution to existing
shareholders as a result of the share subscription, Atlatsa executives have been
restricted from subscribing for R60 million of equity in Atlatsa.

Everest sale full steam ahead

Aquarius Platinum Limited (Aquarius) earlier this year decided to sell Everest Platinum mine
Mine and ancillary mining and processing infrastructure and immovable properties to Northam
Platinum Limited (Northam), for R450 million, to be completed in two parts, being R400 million
for the concentrator and other mining assets of Everest Mine (Part A) plus R50 million for the
Everest Mining Right (Part B). Aquarius has now announced that proceeds of R400 million
(Part A) were received on 26 June (last week).
Part B of the disposal process is subject to the consent of the Minister of Mineral Resources in terms of section 11 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act. Should
the Ministerial Consent not be obtained the first part of the disposal will not be unwound.

Will people ever want a car just for

Are South Africans, and especially the
younger generation changing the way they
view cars? According to Jeff Osborne, head
of Gumtree Automotive they do. He told the
media that millennials or Generation Y as
these young people are also known, simply
dont need to own a car the way their parents
did.
In the United States less and less people go
through the trouble of getting their drivers
licence, many rather go for public transport.
A change in their environmental consciousness is apparently one of the reasons for the
nearly 20% drop in drivers licence ownership
over the last 10 years.
Osborne said that this trend is not so
prominent in South Africa where cars are
still aspirational items. Young adults prefer
urban living and they socialise online. Public
transport and ride-sharing apps have enabled
many to make do without a car, he said.
By 2025 Generation Y will be approximately
75% of all potential car buyers. Osborne
predicts that they will be more inclined to
simply see a car as something that takes
you from point A to point B and not so much
as an item projecting status. He warns that
car dealerships will have to adapt as these
young people hate the conventional way of
buying a car. They arent just comparing
dealerships, they are comparing the buying
experience with all other buying experiences.
The experience has to be quick, pleasant
and easy, he said.
Platinum Gazette asked readers if they agree
with Osbornes prediction. Do they think the
next generation of car buyers will care less
about image and status and more about
getting a tool to go from point A to B? Some
readers also shared what their dream vehicle
would be if money was no option.

Mr. Elvis Serage, Mr. William Mohubedu and Mr. Joseph Mkhonto said: People will always
want to look good. Older people will go for practical cars. The young ones just want to buy
cars to impress. Their dreams cars? Elvis: A Ford Focus. William: A Mercedes SLK and
Joseph: A VW Amarok. If I have that one Ill be able to take my family with me and Ill be able
to carry cement and fetch water at the same time.

Mr. Vincent Tshabalala and Mr. Jabu Magabotja said: It will never change. There are two
kinds of people. The ones who want fancy things like us, and the ones who dont and theyll
buy their cars accordingly. Their dream cars? Vincent I want a Ferrari and Jabu: a BMW
i8 if money was no issue.

Mr. Gregory Thobejane said: People will

always like and want fancy cars, nice clothes
and good houses. Young people are now
looking for money to buy those things and
this will not change. If I had lots of money Id
buy an AMG Mercedes Benz V12.

Mr. Tshegofatso Morethe said: It depends

on how much money you have. If I could buy
anything I would love a BMW X7. Otherwise
Ill look at what I can afford and what is light
on fuel. Petrol is expensive these days.

Mr. Thabo Phala said: In the future young people will be more practical. I think they will care
more about being able to afford and maintain the vehicle. My dream vehicle? I just want a Kia
Sportage. With him are Raymond Mampho, Ms. Beauty Twala and Boitshepo.

Mr. Khomotso Mafa said: The young

generation will only care about a car that
can make lots of noise. So any car that can
accommodate big sound will be popular. The
young ones like fast cars with lots of sound.
They even build in more sound at the back
if there is not enough. VW Golfs are selling
like peanuts. Theyll rather buy a car than
a house and then sleep in the car because
they almost never sleep. My ultimate car is
a BMW any latest model but my wife likes
the X5. She likes big cars. Ive always liked
BMW.

Me. Bonita de Beer s: Op hierdie stadium

terwyl die ekonomie so swak is kyk mense
eerder na iets wat betroubaar, lig op petrol en
groot genoeg is vir jou gesin as na die status
wat n kar bring. Dit hang op die ou einde
eerder af van hoeveel geld jy het. Kyk net hoeveel klein karretjies is daar deesdae op die
paaie en die rede daarvoor is nie status nie.

Mr. Tshepo Mphogo said: People will always

care about the status a car brings. My favourite thing is a 2015 Ford Ranger. This is my
dream car. I want it because I want it and Id
buy it if I was the moneyman.

the practical side of transport?

Mr. Freddy Komane and Mr. Richard Morena said: They are right. Young people will become
more practical. Theyll buy cheaper brands as long as they are reliable. Freddy: My dream
car is a Fortuner, but the latest one. I think it is a Legend 45. Richard: A Mercedes Benz
AMG.

Ms. Khomotso Malatji and Ms. Lerato Selahle said: Theyll still care about their image.
People love status and a grand car gives that. In the future most of us will be working and
young people compete with each other about whose got the best things. Khomotso: I love
German cars and I would buy an Audi. I love the quality of those cars. Lerato: I want a Jeep
Wrangler. I love big cars.
Regs: Mnr.
Alfred
Hlongwa
s: Nee,
die jongmense wil
net vininge
karre h.
Hulle gee
nie om of
hy betroubaar of bekostigbaar
is nie. By
hom is

Mnr. Shaun Maloney en Me. Marica Geldenhuys s: Kar koop is brand orientated en dit sal so wees in die toekoms. Self glo ons aan n betroubare koop
wat jou van punt A na punt B sal neem.

Ms. Mary Setladi said: I think it is a matter

of buying a car that can make you look good,
but that you can afford. Something that will
get you noticed in town. Young people and
cars are a big thing. Most people grew up in
families without cars. In school you dream
about that first job and a car. I like a BMW X5
or X6. Id buy that.

Mr. Lufuno Sinthumule said: True. Nowadays every wants something nice. Brand and
image consciousness will disappear. If I had
unlimited resources Id like to have a BMW.
That is my favourite car. I have to save a lot
to afford that car because I really love it, but
also dont want to get into financial trouble
because then my family will suffer. With him
is Mudumela.

Mr. Ephraim Mkwana said: They will always

care about the brands. It is not a secret. It is
true. The new generation wants fancy cars
and they want to go to expensive places.
They may think we talk bad about them, but
that is how it is. My dream car is a Toyota
because the tsotsis wont like it. I dont like
expensive cars. People with expensive cars
are always afraid to be the target of tsotsis.

Mr. Collen Moimane said: The youth of today

will not just look at a vehicle that goes from A
to B. They want to show-off and have more
status than their peers. My dream car? I dont
know why I like it, but I would like to have a
Range Rover. I dont know all its features, but
I just like it very much.

Mnr. Bennie Wheeler s: Die kinders like

brands. Hul image is belangrik. Dinge sal
altyd branded bly al is daar nie eintlik meer
swak karre nie. Ek kyk na karre wat betroubaar is en van A na B kan gaan. Met onbeperkte geld aan my kant sal ek n Mercedes
koop. Ek het grootgeword daarmee. My pa
het nie in n ander kar geglo nie.

Regs: Mnr. Danil Khotle s: Baie mense

gee deesdae meer om oor hul karre as oor
mense en dan ry hulle nog so sleg ook!
Mense gaan altyd grnd karre wil h. Ek sal
graag n Nissan Qashqai wil h. Hy is darem
nie so duur nie.
Left: Mr. Patrick Mokgethwa said: There
will always be brand loyalty. People go for a
brand, they dont just buy a car for the sake
of buying a car. I look at the quality of the car
and how long will I be able to drive that car.
If I had unlimited funds Ill buy a Hino Tipper
Truck. Ill use it for business and Ill drive it
to town and everywhere. I want to drive a
vehicle that will bring in something at the end
of the day.

Mnr. Terrence Roberts s: Dit sal altyd oor

n brand en hul image gaan en sommige van
die wat dit nie kan bekostig nie sal n grnd
kar steel om die image te kry.

being punished with a goal.
Sipho Maphanga scored the goal. After just
a few more minutes a good pass to Sipho
added another goal to the points. Poor defence got the Shoprite Burgersfort Mall team
punished and the score went up to 3-0.
After 42 minutes Justice Makofane brought
hope to his team when scored.
After half time the Shoprite Burgersfort team
made some changes to try and get some
fresh blood on the field.
In the 55th minute Katlego scored their first

Later in the game a long range shot from
Kabelo bagged their second goal. Shoprites
defender Madala missed two great opportunities.
The final score was 3 for Mangope FC and
