Wet! On Wednesday afternoon Burgerfort town was treated

to about 30mm of rain in a very short time, creating
havoc trafic-wise. Vehicles and pedestrians had to
negotiate much water as the storm water system of the
town proved inadequate to handle all the water. The
situation was aggravated by the fact that a lot of the
stormwater drains are blocked with rubbish and debris,
while a large number of motorists travelled hoplessly
too fast in the wet conditions, some of them without
lights or consideration for other road users (such
as these pedestrians jumping over the unexpected
stream).

Not above the law Pumpkin passion
Fidelity guards buying food while parking
vehicles in and trying to jump the queue to
pay for that food, was some of the things
that soured up the day for some cus-
tomers at a local shop in Burgersfort on
Saturday last week.
The guards were buying food and with-
out asking permission, pushed customers
waiting in line to pay aside, to try and pay
for their goods first. A person on the man-
agement team of the shop saw what was
happening and asked the clients whether
they had given permission for this, which
was not the case. The men then had to
wait their turn. Outside the shop custom-
ers were parked in by the cash in transit
vehicle waiting for the guards bringing not
money, but food from the shop.
This week Platinum Gazette forwarded
the photographs taken during the incident
to the company for a response. The follow-
ing was received:
“There is no question that our van was
parked illegally on Saturday 12th and we
sincerely apologise for any inconvenience
caused to customers.
“Our company does not condone reck-
less or irresponsible behaviour and we will
definitely take up this matter internally as a
matter of urgency.
We pride ourselves on the professional
conduct of our Officers who are at all times
encouraged to act responsibly and profes-
sionally to ensure the safety of the asset
they are transporting and the safety of the
general public in the immediate vicinity.
We once again apologise and thank
you for the opportunity to correct this iso-
lated conduct.
Arthur Gibson: Na-
tional Executive - Fidelity
Cash Solutions”
The incident inside the
shop was not addressed
in the statement issued,
the newspaper requested
comment for this, but by
going to press nothing
has been received.
In the photo left the
faces has been digitally
altered not to be recog-
nised as it was about
the principle and not the
individuals involved.
Willem le Grange is aiming to have a pump-
kin among the biggest in the country when
the time for weigh-in comes at the annual Gi-
ant Pumpkin Festival in Heidelberg, Western
Cape this year.
Willem grew up on a farm outside Burgers-
fort and currently works on one of the citrus
farms owned by local company Naranja /
Indigo Fruit Farming in Swellendam.
He planted seeds he ordered from America
- the Dill’s Giant Atlantic pumpkins. He also
planted a seed he received from a local farm-
er in the area. The two different pumpkins
are now growing very fast. The biggest one is
currently weighing in at approximately 457kg
and it can grow up to 23kg in a day during
the peak growth period. At the moment his
is growing approximately 11kg a day. Many
factors such as the heat during the day and
soil quality influence the growth. Willem’s
plant is currently covering 72m2 and the plant
can use up to 200 litres of water a day. He
supplements the soil with fish hydrolate (sea-

grow) and seaweed (kelp).
The world record for these big pumpkins
stands at 1190kg and belongs to Mathias
Willemijns of Belgium. The current South
African record stands at 556kg. The winning
pumpkins’ owners will share in cash prizes
and the pumpkin seeds will be harvested as
seeds going towards seed supplier Starke
Ayres. Every year entrants into the compe-
tition receives a seed from each of the top 3
pumpkins of the previous year.
Entries from all over the country compete
for the crown and in South Africa the look of
the pumpkin does not matter much. It is the
weight and that it is a healthy vegetable that
has not started to rot that matters.
Willem has treated his one pumpkin
where it started to crack while growing and
has build covers for it to protect it from the
elements.
His family and locals are holding thumbs
for him as the final stretch before the end of
the competition on 9 March approaches.

In memory
of Gideon
Miller
Gideon Miller (13), Head Boy of Steelpoort Academy in 2018, passed away last Sunday
when the bus he was travelling in to his high school in Middelburg, left the road near
Laersdrif in wet road conditions.
This news schocked the local community and the newspaper, who practically see our
children grow up in front of reporters. A report like this one is very difficult to write be-
cause we as humans can almost always not see the sense in such a tragic event, especially
if you have children of your own.
A memorial service for Gideon will be held at the Steelpoort AFM Church on 25 Janu-
ary at 10:00.

What would you like for SA

The year 2019 is still young and much can
change can happen, not only in the lives
of individuals but also for South Africa as a
country.
2018 was a year of many changes and
one of the changes was the increase in Value
Added Tax (VAT) that is paid on all goods
and services. Economists listed this as one of
the single most impactful economic events to
touch the lives of all South Africans last year.
“The increase, necessary to combat a
revenue shortfall, was not an easy political
decision to make and came at the detriment
of economic growth, despite renewed confi-
dence in President Cyril Ramaphosa and a
recovery in the price of commodities,” said
the head of Africa for financial advisory firm,
deVere Acuma, Mr Gavin Smith.
This year (2019) is also an important
year with a general election coming up. The
Institute for Race Relations (IRR) released
the results of a poll done at the end of last
year that predicted which parties were at that
stage set to take the lead in the upcoming
elections. In December predictions was still in
favour of the ANC with most respondents in
the poll saying they will win with a two-thirds
majority vote.
As well as summarising voting intentions,
the IRR asked their respondents about party
favourability: People may not say they’re
voting for a certain party, but they can still
hold them in high regard. These results were
ANC: 54% favourability. DA: 28% favourabili-
ty. EFF: 21% favourability.
When it comes to property price predic-
tions for 2019 it is predicted to be slow in
growth. “I predict that there will be a con-
tinued move to smaller, more manageable
properties - such as sectional titles and
estate-style living, lock-up and go type of
homes, for example - as consumers continue
to feel the pinch of rising inflation and cost of
living. Subsequently, I also predict that there
will be fewer cash sales and more bonded
transactions as the increased cost of living
will necessitate higher loan-to-value amounts
on property transactions” said Regional
Director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern
Africa, Adrian Goslett in the media at the end
of 2018. He added that buyers might want
to take into account the long term promises
from political parties in the run-up to the elec-
tion and this will slow down sales and growth
in the property market in the first two quarters
of 2019.
When it comes to the cost of living it is
predicted that another drop in the petrol price
may be coming in February. A formal an-
nouncement has not been made about this,
but many are hoping that another price drop
will ease the burden of living costs.
In the first part of December Eskom’s
load shedding was driving people crazy with
frustration. At the time it was predicted that
South Africans can expect much more of this
in 2019 and even the years beyond. By the
time of going to press there had not been
any formal load shedding for the year and
negotiations for the tariff hike Eskom wants
approved was still underway.
Platinum Gazette asked readers what
they would like to achieve for themselves in
2019, but also what they would like for South
Africa - their predictions, perceptions, expec-
tations and hopes in a nutshell.
Mr Philemon Malatji said: “I want them to employ more police in South Africa this year so they
can eliminate crime. I also hope for wise leaders. That our elected president would be wise,
and be able to guide our country. I would like to study further. I wish to do my N3. Last year
I’ve completed N2 and I would eventually want to do my trade test to qualify as a fitter”. With
him are Ms Nelda Matuludi as well as Blessing and Prudence.
Mr John Malatji said: “I don’t have New
Year’s resolutions, but I do have continuous
goals like getting my business off the ground.
For SA I think many people don’t vote with
their conscience and therefore many will
continue to vote for the ANC. Even a blind
person can see they are going the wrong
direction. We need a new government. They
are failing to industrialise our country. They
import many things we used to manufacture
here in South Africa. The ruling party is stuck. Mr Njabolo Wonderman Kgwedi said: “SA is Mr Collins Komane said: “I wish I’ll get a nice

of jobs is now falling on us, the working class
because we have to share the little we have”.

Mr Frans Malesa said: “With the current gen-

eration generally undermining government I
hope for peace. I hope in 2019 we can live
in peace and that people will not misbehave
and undermine the authorities. If we can all
stick to what is being said and done to im-
prove things, our tomorrow may be a whole
lot better. I wish for myself good luck, health
and I want to live appreciating what I have
and where I am in life”.
Ms Isabella Mokoena said: “For 2019 I hope
to get a learnership and start a career in
mechanical engineering. When it comes to
South Africa, I think we are under the wrong
leadership. We are going to vote this year.
We need a political party that will not only
help themselves, but will benefit the people.
SA is full of corruption, we are currently not
on the right track”.
18 JANUARIE 2019
and yourself in 2019?
Mr David Holandi Mkhonza said: “For SA I
hope a new party will take the lead after the
election so we can have some change. For
myself? I want to stick to my goals like build-
ing a house”.
Ms Maggie Mnisi said: “I want to settle all
my debt in 2019. I also want to vote for a
new party for a change. In the past we’ve
been promised many things, but they don’t
produce. For South Africa I wish less crime,
more jobs and the abuse of drugs and alco-
hol to be less”.
Mr Weekend Shai said: “In 2019 I want to
buy a new Golf GTi. It is my dream. In South
Africa I want to see development. Especially
government must develop rural areas. I think
they are on track to do it”.
NUUS
Mr Thamaga Magatsela said: “I wish for SA
that our government can reduce the price
of petrol and diesel. The cost of living is too
high. SA is depending on minerals. Govern-
ment must also assist that the mines do not
close, so that the people can be employed
and crime be reduced. We don’t want to
become the next Zimbabwe. I want my family
to be happy and want to be able to provide
for them and support them as much as I can.
I also want my kids to progress at school”.
Mr Gift Malema said: “For South Africa I want
more jobs in 2019. I think Cyril Ramaphosa
is already busy creating jobs. They must also
reduce the TAX this year. It is too much. This
year we hope to get tenders for cleaning.
We need our municipality to not employ their
‘chommies’. They also only maintain the
roads where their people live because their
expensive cars must not get damaged. I think
the DA can rule South Africa after the election
this year. The ANC came to my house to do
home campaigning and they told my grand-
mother and myself that we should vote ANC
otherwise we will not get money like grants
and pensions. That is nonsense. Whatever
party takes over, there will still be money
given for pensions and grants. The DA can
also rule”. With him is Mr Freddy
Malebane.
Left: Mr France Makobe
said: “For myself I hope for a
new job that will improve my
knowledge and standard of
living. For South Africa, since it
is an election year, I hope that
my organization – the ANC,
lose the elections so there
can be an alternative party
or a coalition government. It
seems to me that things just
work better if there is not just
one party. Things will be better
if there is a coalition govern-
ment”. Ms Sponkie Sathekge
said: “For SA I hope for better
infrastructure as well as water
and sanitation improvements.
For myself I hope for a better
job and to further my studies”.

Ms Elsie Mogowe Lekoadu said: “For SA I

They should instead study and get the right
qualifications. I am a parent and I would
like my business to grow and be recognized

Mr Patrick Mdluli said: “I hope in 2019 we
will get rid of corruption and things like drug
abuse. Take nyope off the streets. I wish
that during this year I’ll be able to build my
children a nice house”.
Mr Peter Majoro said: “Concerning the elec-
tions this year, I have much confidence in our
new president. If people will give the ANC
another chance to rule, there may be change
from the past years. I am still staying in an
area that don’t have electricity. I hope they
will electrify my area this year. I also hope for
jobs for our young people”.
Ms Hope Sethosa said: “I want my own
family and I want to get a job. For SA I
hope there will be more job opportunities”.

year I want to get a promotion at work.
For South Africa I want to see peaceful

Michael has been a full time employee of A1 Foods

but it is important what we leave behind. Nobody was born
because there was a shortage of people in the world. Every-
one has a unique dream or vision that demands fulfillment
without making excuses”.
This is what he hopes to encourage readers to do

and it is reflected in the book. Taking more time to take care
of your spiritual life than your physical life is important.
The book also contains advice on how to learn to focus
on your life while not competing with others as well as learn-
ing to control your tongue.
The book includes a section where the reader can reflect
and even write down their own answers on questions they
may face in life and what they hope to do with the guidance
of the book.
Michael gives thanks to his family and especially his
mother for their support during his journey to write this book
and grow as an indivual.
He is already working on a follow-up for this first book
and people interested in buying ‘Discovering how to live a
