This one hunk and bevy of local beauties converged on Ohrigstad on Sunday to participate in a crime awareness campaign of the South African Police Service in the area. The day was also highligted by soccer games between local teams in and around Ohrigstad. More inside this edition and on the sports pages.

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 circumci-sion that went horribly wrong due to incom-petency 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 (CoGH-STA) and other strategic stakeholders has been established to oversee and monitor the smooth running of the schools and curb any unbecoming and criminal behaviour. Par-ents 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 cir-cumcision 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 inspec-tions. 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 impor-tant that such cases be reported to the Police immediately for us to respond swiftly and res-cue these individuals before they are harmed and traumatised,” he stressed.

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 righteous man is powerful and effective.

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 Gold-en 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 diffi cult to install a system in a building that will automatically switch off the lights in the unused offi ces, 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 fi nances saved could then be steered towards repairing the traffi c lights in the town that never appear to work (but that is a moan for another day).

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

Leboeng SAPS together with the Mohlala family are looking for a 32 year old man,Edward Mmei Mohlala.

He is originally from The Oaks village. He was reported missing since 20 June 2015. According to information he was treated at a traditional healer at Phiring village where he went missing. It is further alleged that he is having mental problems.

On the date of hios disappearance he was wearing a sky blue jacket and black track suit. The Police appeal to anyone with information about the man to call Leboeng SAPS on this number: 013 769 9099 or the investigation offi cer, Sergeant Nkosi on 072 528 0297 or call the nearest police station.

Have you seen this man?

The new access bridge over the river in Mokutung village adjacent to Echo Caves is now completed. In the past a difi cult 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.

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 Resourc-es in terms of section 11 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act. Should the Ministerial Consent not be obtained the fi rst part of the disposal will not be unwound.

Atlatsa Resources says the company remains in discussions with Anglo Platinum sur-rounding the future sustainability of Bokoni Mine between Burgersfort and Polokwane (Atok) as well as potential alternative fi nancial 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 fi nancial support was not met. On November 10, 2014, a letter of support was received from Anglo American Platinum Limited (Anglo Platinum) to provide fi nancial support up to a maximum of R422 to March 31, 2016, in the event of unforeseen circumstances not within the company’s 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:

Defi nitive 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.

Assore has advised shareholders that it has now concluded defi nitive agreements with Africa Rainbow Minerals (ARM) in respect of an in-principle agreement to buy ARM’s 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 commod-ity. 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 profi ts 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 imple-mentation 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 sub-sidiary of Assore.

Ohrigstad abuzz against crime

To celebrate Youth Month the Ohrigstad police hosted a crime awareness cam-paign with the theme “Crime does not pay”. Const. Phokane, the Ohrigstad Social Crime Prevention Coordinator took the opportunity to address the youth of the area about crime and the dangers of criminal activities.

The event was hosted at Laerskool Ohirg-stad’s sports grounds. The programme included an address by the Ohrigstad Station Commander Capt. Mashe-go as well as a message against crime from Miss Leboeng SAPS, CPF representatives and some of the sponsors. The day was concluded with a sports tour-nament. Teams from the different villages played soccer against each other. Eleven Peace F.C. from Majadichkun Village came out tops in the fi nal against Barcelona FC from Maepa Village. The SAPS thanked all the sponsors who assisted in making this day possible.

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 don’t 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 driver’s licence, many rather go for public transport. A change in their environmental conscious-ness is apparently one of the reasons for the nearly 20% drop in driver’s 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 aren’t 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 Osborne’s 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 I’ll be able to take my family with me and I’ll be able to carry cement and fetch water at the same time”.

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. They’ll 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. I’ve always liked BMW”.

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 I’d buy an AMG Mercedes Benz V12”.

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 don’t and they’ll buy their cars accordingly”. Their dream cars? Vincent – “I want a Ferrari” and Jabu: “a BMW i8 if money was no issue”.

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.

Me. Bonita de Beer sê: “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 ho-eveel 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 favour-ite thing is a 2015 Ford Ranger. This is my dream car. I want it because I want it and I’d buy it if I was the moneyman”.

Mr. Tshegofatso Morethe said: “It depends on how much money you have. If I could buy anything I would love a BMW X7. Otherwise I’ll look at what I can afford and what is light on fuel. Petrol is expensive these days”.

Will people ever want a car just for

7NUUS3 JULIE 2015

Mr. Freddy Komane and Mr. Richard Morena said: “They are right. Young people will become more practical. They’ll 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. 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 fi rst job and a car. I like a BMW X5 or X6. I’d buy that”.

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 won’t like it. I don’t 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 don’t know why I like it, but I would like to have a Range Rover. I don’t know all its features, but I just like it very much”.

Ms. Khomotso Malatji and Ms. Lerato Selahle said: “They’ll 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”.

Mnr. Shaun Maloney en Me. Marica Geldenhuys sê: “Kar koop is brand orien-tated 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”.

Mr. Lufuno Sinthumule said: “True. Nowa-days every wants something nice. Brand and image consciousness will disappear. If I had unlimited resources I’d 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 don’t want to get into fi nancial trouble because then my family will suffer”. With him is Mudumela.

Mnr. Bennie Wheeler sê: “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 betrou-baar is en van A na B kan gaan. Met onbe-perkte 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. Alfred Hlongwa sê: “Nee, die jong-mense wil net vininge karre hê. Hulle gee nie om of hy betrou-baar of be-kostigbaar is nie”. By hom is Mosa.

Mnr. Terrence Roberts sê: “Dit sal altyd oor ‘n brand en hul image gaan en sommige van die wat dit nie kan bekostig nie sal ‘n grênd kar steel om die image te kry”.

Left: Mr. Patrick Mokgethwa said: “There will always be brand loyalty. People go for a brand, they don’t 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 I’ll buy a Hino Tipper Truck. I’ll use it for business and I’ll drive it to town and everywhere. I want to drive a vehicle that will bring in something at the end of the day”.

Regs: Mnr. Daniël Khotle sê: “Baie mense gee deesdae meer om oor hul karre as oor mense en dan ry hulle nog so sleg ook! Mense gaan altyd grênd karre wil hê. Ek sal graag ‘n Nissan Qashqai wil hê. Hy is darem nie so duur nie”.

Shoprite Burgersfort Mall visited Dresden sports grounds on Saturday 20 June 2015 to play against Mangope FC.The game kicked off with a fast pace and both the teams playing attacking football. By the 28th minute an obvious mistake on the Shoprite Burgersfort Mall side saw them 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 de-fence 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 fi eld. In the 55th minute Katlego scored their fi rst goal. Later in the game a long range shot from Kabelo bagged their second goal. Shoprite’s defender Madala missed two great opportu-nities. The fi nal score was 3 for Mangope FC and 2 for Shoprite Burgersfort Mall FC. This was the second consecutive game the Shoprite Burgersfort Mall team lost, but they are deter-mined to improve and show their skill against other local teams.
