R200 million road project

MOA signed Atok to Twickenham

Gazette

A strategic Memorandum of Agreement has been signed between Roads Agency Limpopo (RAL) and
platinum producer, Anglo American Platinum, for the tarring of a key economic development route that
connects Twickenham Platinum Mine to surrounding villages in the Sekhukhune region in the Limpopo
Province.
Speaking at the signing ceremony held on 18 August at the mining giants head office in downtown
Johannesburg, RAL CEO Maselaganye Matji, said in terms of the agreement, Anglo American Platinum
would contribute R46,8 million towards the design and construction of the 20km road estimated to cost
R200 million, stretching from Atok, passing through Ga-Selepe, Ga-Mashabela to Twickenham Platinum
Mine. RAL will be responsible for the R153,2 million balance.
We have decided to adopt a strategy to bring in partners who can assist in road construction. Once
our roads are in a good condition, businesses will be interested in participating in the Limpopo economy,
he said.
Of the 20 260km of road network that RAL is responsible for, about 14 300km is gravel road. In terms
of its own calculations, the roads agency would need R150 billion to address the backlog, money that is
not available through the fiscus. That is why such partnerships are crucial.
To build a road is not cheap, said the RAL CEO.
Indresen Pillay, executive head of projects at Anglo American Platinum, said it was the first time his
company had entered into a partnership whereby they co-fund an infrastructure project with a state entity.
In the past, he said, Anglo would build a clinic or a school for a community and hand over the completed
project to either the Department of Education or Health.
He said the company was initially concerned around issues of governance, capability, capacity and
leadership. However, they were impressed by the solid management structure and expertise that exists
within RAL to handle such a dynamic partnership project.
What RAL has demonstrated is that they have the governance in place, they have the capacity and
capability in place and they have got the funding mechanism in place to be able to allow this to happen.
When you have the stars aligning in that way, it makes it feasible to enter into these kinds of agreements, he said.
Pillay said his company was excited to share ideas and expertise with a state agency and was committed to seeing the entire project through.
This is not something where we are going to write a cheque and walk away. We will continue to be
partners in the delivery of this project, and as partners we will be able to learn from one another, he
added.
Progress has already been made in relation to this latest partnership with Anglo American Platinum.
The project has gone out on a public tender, and once a preferred contractor has been selected, construction work could begin around September 20.
Anglo Americans Twickenham Project, the companys core platinum mine situated in the Sekhukhune region of Limpopo, has been struggling of late. The mine has been put under care and has
had to reduce some of its workload.
Anglo American Platinum and RAL are aiming to use this project to boost the local economy by not
only employing from the communities that will be served by the road under construction, but to procure
materials from locals and to develop suppliers that can be able to provide raw material to the contractor.
In addition to this Memorandum of Agreement, Anglo has completed a number of road infrastructure initiatives for communities neighbouring its Twickenham Mine and the Fetakgomo/Greater Tubatse
Municipality.

These include a 1,3km internal road in the Fetakgomo/Greater Tubatse Municipality connecting Ga-Makgopa and Swazimanyane villages. Another 4,3kms will be completed this year. Two access bridge roads
built in close proximity to the Marapong and Dithabaneng communities, benefiting a number of road
users. Contributing R20 million to the upgrade of the R37 carriageway, a crucial road that connects Sekhukhune region to the rest of the province.
Mr Matji said the South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL) has committed to widening
the R37 carriageway into a four lane road stretching from Burgersfort to Modikwa Platinum Mine.

Real speed humps for R555 at Kutullo/Matepe

The rough heaps of gravel serving as speed humps on the R555 road through Kutullo/Matepe village
between Steel Bridge and De Hoop Dam are gone. Now there are properly constructed tar ones and
Platinum Gazette was just in time last week Friday to witness the construction team preparing to put
the finishing touches to some of their handiwork. The humps are not high, but quite sharp, Careful

Ongoing tension at
illegal mines
Authorities raided illegal mining operations at Tjibeng near Atok about halfway
between Burgersfort and Polokwane for the second time in two months in an effort
to halt the illegal mining activities.
Illegal chrome mining operations were first raided in the week of 15 July this
year on the farms Winterveldt 417 SK, Jagdlust 418 SK and Zeekoegat 421 SK.
Mining minister Mozebenzi Zwane at that time expressed his support for the
raids and efforts to put illegal mining to a stop. Illegal mining is prohibited in terms
of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act and the National Environmental Management Act. The perpetrators were operating without a mining
permit, prospecting right or mining right as well as no environmental authorisation.
The department said at that time it is always ready to assist communities. In
terms of the MPRDA, communities can lodge a preferential prospecting or mining
right and the department will assist accordingly, in cases where there are no existing applications, permits or rights.
This first intervention by authorities clearly had no effect and the illegal mining
continued well into this month before the most recent raid on Tuesday. Unfortunately the miners seemed to have been tipped off about the raid. A group of miners who
claimed to be mining on the shoulder of Anglo Platinums Bokoni mine ran from the
plant before police and Mineral Resources officials accompanied by a sheriff went
to check out the area on Tuesday.
Police said they had planned to arrest the operators but when they arrived at
the site there were no officials nor mine representatives.
General Maepa of Burgersfort Police said only machines were left, which were
subsequently confiscated because they were used in the commission of crime.
There is a law in the country that people should respect, and if they dont comply, they will face the Police, added Maepa.
The open-cast mine was abandoned more than four decades ago. However,
some small-scale miners are apparently still trying to mine there.Recently, residents in the area started mining with and without machines, digging chrome with
their spades and iron shovels.
Platinum Gazette has also witnessed skorro-skorro trucks moving ore from the
mining operations after dark when the mines are at full production, creating quite a
hazard on the R37.

Training for new councillors can

get them a national certificate
Back to Basics to
serve communities
efficiently

Greater Tubatse/Fetakgomo councillors were sworn in last week.

NUUS

To assist this group of fresh faces with
performing their tasks properly they will

Basics programme is a government initiative to ensure that councillors serve their
communities efficiently.
On Tuesday during a debate in the National Assembly Corporate Governance and
Traditional Affairs Deputy Minister Andries
Nel said that going forward particular
attention will be paid to local economic
development, implementing the local
integrated development framework and
strengthening the district systtem.
To ensure that newly elected councillors
are empowered to serve their communities, a three-year induction and training
proramme based on the five pillars of the
Back to Basics programme is being implemented. The first phase will start from 5
September 2016.
Councillors will be able to earn a National
Certificate in Municipal Governance over
the three-year period.

New laws to help protect

grant beneficiaries
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has urged social
grant beneficiaries to make alternative arrangements with financial
service providers on how premiums will be paid going forward.
This follows the amendments of the regulations of the Social Assistance Act of 2004 this year, where some social grant beneficiaries
will have to make alternative arrangements regarding the payment of
funeral insurance premiums.
SASSA National spokesperson Kgomoco Diseko said that amending
these regulations was a necessary and responsible step taken by
SASSA and the Social Development Department in order to protect
vulnerable beneficiaries against unscrupulous financial service providers.
The law allows for only a maximum of 10% of the grant value to be
deducted and requires that SASSA should be informed whenever
a beneficiary enters into a contract with a funeral insurance service
provider.
In some cases, SASSA is not involved and this results in unauthorised deductions which come as a surprise to the beneficiary when the
next payment cycle comes. This happens in cases where beneficiaries
are approached and made to sign agreements that are not explained
to them, said Diseko.
Deduction on childrens grant
Beneficiaries with direct deductions for a funeral insurance/scheme
from child grants will be discontinued in December 2016.
All child grant beneficiaries have been advised to make alternative
payment arrangements with their financial service providers on how
premiums will be paid from December 2016 onwards, said Diseko.
All affected beneficiaries are urged to make alternative arrangements
with financial service providers on how premiums will be paid going
forward.
If you are receiving a grant for older persons, war veterans or a permanent disability grant and would like to have the premiums for your
funeral policy/scheme deducted directly from your grant, please visit
the nearest SASSA office to give permission in writing and in person
for these deductions to go through.

by promoting two players to PSL. Mr Tim
Sukazi who manages 80% of PSL and
NFD players was brought to assess the
young promising players in the programme
on Saturday last week. This happened at
Jane Furse Artificial Pitch where White
Doves was involved in two friendly matches
vs Shining Stars and Drillers to allow Mr
Sukazi to
do assessments of
the players.
At least
6 players
were identified during
the session
and theyre
listed for
both NFD
and PSL
clubs in the
near future.
Well
done boys
and keep

up the good work. It is not magic to get up.

No, its the amount of effort you put down
the right way to the right direction with
the right leadership. I will try get as many
youngsters up there as possible, said Mr
Kodi. I am also waiting to get 19-year old
Koketso Seloi to the Leopards soon after
he impressed on a two week stay. With Mr
Sukazi we are going far as a team and in
development. Proper development is the
key to success Kodi added.
