Ga-Phashato AmplatsShareholders of platinum group metals

(PGMs) miner, Atlatsa Resources

Corporation (previously Anooraq) support

the companys revised restructuring plan

and have approved all resolutions proposed

in this regard at a special general meeting

on 28 June.

In accordance with the resolutions, Atlatsawould now dispose of 31.4-million

attributable PGM ounces, comprising the

eastern section of the Ga-Phasha mineral

property, to Anglo American Platinum

(Amplats) for R1700 million.

The western section of the tenement would

be consolidated into the companys broader

existing Bokoni mine lease area, where

opencast mining operations on the

Merensky reef had started.

Shareholders had further approved the issue

of 125-million new Atlatsa common shares

to Amplats for an aggregate cash

subscription consideration of R750-million,

or R6 a share.

The proceeds from the asset sale and new

share subscription would be used to reduce

the companys historical debt by 75%.

In addition, Atlatsa would now have accessto a new debt drawdown facility from

Amplats worth up to R1550 million, at a

weighted average effective interest rate of

2% a year through to 2020.

Chief Commercial Officer of Atlatsa, Joel

Kesler, said in a statement that the

resolution would allow the company to

significantly reshape its balance sheet and

place it on a sound financial footing to

deliver its 2020 operational strategy on a

fully financed basis.

This, together with continuous operational

improvements at the Bokoni platinum mine,

places us in an advantageous position to

continue reducing unit operating costs and

improving the companys financial position

and performance going forward, he stated.

Dialogue

with the

Youth 2013

Sustainable development in the area and the

future of the youth in the area (which cannot

be seperated) again came in the potlight last

week when the Sekhukhune District

Municipality hosted a Youth Economic

Summit.

The summit, sponsored by Samancor, the

Small Enterprises Development Agency(SEDA) and Eskom, kicked of at ECMs

Winterveld Club at Steelpoort last week

Thusrday when Sekhukhune District

Executive Mayor, Mogobo David Magabe,

treated delegates to a gala dinner. Greater

Tubatse Municipality Mayor, Nkosi Josias

Mahlake welcomed the guests, while

Limpopo MEC for Tourism and Economic

Development, Pinky Kekana, delivered the

keynote address.

The youths voice during the evening

was those of Mr Abednico Mashabela

(photograph top right on the page), a

member of the Tubatse Youth Council as

well as a well-known community activist. Mr

Mashabela said recognition for the youth and

awareness campaigns will prove invaluable

in the future. He also stressed the

importance of structures such as the Youth

Council, which can represent the youth

during planning for the future and theformulation of economic strategy and policy.

MEC Kekana pressed it upon the youth

that they should do their share in working

hard and to make use of existing

opportunities with regard to economic

development.

She also stressed that everybody cannot

work at the mines and that the youth should

empower themselves with skills that are

needed in any ernvironment, including future

mineral benefication and in other sectors of

the economy that may develop, such as

tourism.

Unemployment is a national problem, but in

the Tubatse area development of the youthand their empowerment as an economic

force is a focus point for both governmentand industries.Industries in the area often complain that it isdifficult to employ local people because they

dont have the skills, while governmentencourages young people to make use of theopportunities that are available.

Last week the Sekhukhune District

Municipality facilitated a Youth EconomicSummit. Ms Pinky Kekana, MEC for Tourismand Economic Development in Limpopo toldthe delegates that they should make use ofthe various opportunities that are coming

their way while being creative to use whatthey have to establish themselves asentrepreneurs. She encouraged them to be

active in establishing themselves in theeconomic sphere of the area.(More about this event in a separate article in

this newspaper).We asked readers if they think enough isbeing done in the Greater Tubatse Municipalarea to establish the youth as an economic

force?

Mr Derick Magakoe said: Not enough isbeing done for the youth. We dont have

facilities. We have only one college. In termsof skills development not enough is beingdone. We have young people with matric butthey are not being trained. If government canspeed up learnership and apprentice

opportunities it will help. The youth is tryingto become economically active by going toschool and then applying for jobs.

Ms Pulane Mthembu and Mr Hendrik Seerane said: No, enough is not being done to assistthe youth in becoming an economic force. I am (Pulane) a chemical engineering graduate andIm still jobless. It hurts! The MEC says make use of opportunities, but what opportunities?

They never develop us and assist us to get experience. Businesses only employ people with

experience. They need to train people and then dont drop them afterwards.

Me. Gretli Steyn s: Daar is geleenthede virdie jeug, maar elke persoon moetverantwoordelikheid vir homself vat en

opstaan en aktief iets gaan doen. Hou aan,moenie ophou probeer na die eersteprobeerslag nie, n goeie werk gaan nie net

in jou skoot val nie.

Mr Abby Maroga said: Not enough is beingdone, but government and industries in thearea are trying. Most of the youth arerelaxed. Most are just sitting on their buttsdoing nothing, but complain a lot.

Mr Tshepang Mashabela said: There are nodevelopments here in this area within theyouth because they dont have skills to work

in a mine. They need training to work in amine.

Mr Minus Maile said: No, there are not

enough opportunities for the youth. Thisplace is full of mining industries, but manypeople from outside the area is employed

while the young people do the cheap labour.There should be a mining and technicalschool here where the youth can bedeveloped so they can become economicallyactive. There are a few people I know whoare trying to develop young people.

Right: Mr Abram Mohlala said: I thinkgovernment is doing enough. They developthe young people step by step. You cannot

have everything at once. It is a problem thatthe youth is not doing enough from their sideto get skills and jobs.

Me. Mathilda Griesel s: Nee, ek dink niedaar is baie geleenthede vir die jeug nie. nMens hoor ook te min van dit wat daar is omregtig daarvan te kan gebruik maak. By haar

is Arno.

Mr David Matemane said: The youth dontuse the opportunities that are there. Adults

who should mentor the youth are also notdoing enough to help them and many end upin criminal activities.

Ms Precious Phasha said: The youth dontuse all the opportunities available to them.

Like when they opened the TubatseCrossing Mall the youth were told to submittheir CVs at the Department of Labour, butthey did not do that and when the shops

finally opened they came in looking for jobs.They did not do that one little thing from theirside.

Mr Amos Motau said: Yes, there are a lot of employmentopportunities for the youth because of all the mining industries in thearea.

Mr Peniel Maruleand Ms TryphosaMojalefa said: No,not enough is beingdone. We did noteven know about

last weekseconomic summitand what it meansfor the youth. Theinformation aboutopportunities is not

getting to us. Theyouth is notrecognised as an

economic force. Ifthey were a bigforce things like

entertainment wouldhave been better inBurgersfort.

Ms Doreen Malepe said: No, there is a lot of

unemployment in this area. The youth donthave the skills and not enough is being doneto develop their skills.

Mnr. Phillip Roetz s: Daar is geld bewilligom jeugontwikkeling te doen. Die probleem is

jy kan nie werk kry sonder ondervinding nie,

al het jy kwalifikasies en niemand wil jou

aanstel sonder ondervinding nie. Dis n catch22. Daar is inisiatiewe van die staat maar ditis moeilik om daarvan gebruik te maak.

Mr Morwapatla Supe and Ms Anna Refilwe Supe said: They are doing enough to empowerthe youth as an economic force in Tubatse. They are creating jobs for the youth, but theymust just look at now giving the youth things like entertainment and sporting facilities. Wewant an area where we can watch movies, especially in the malls.

Mr Moses Maile and Mr Frank Malepe said: The municipality must open a free trainingcentre to help the youth to get the skills they need. People around Burgersfort dont haveenough qualifications. They cannot make use of opportunities because they dont have theskills and we are a part of that group.

Above: Mr

Tshupetso Komane,Mr Jersey Hlahla andMr Jabulanie

Mathebula said: Theopportunities arethere, they are just

not exposed to theyouth. We as theyouth expectopportunities tocome to us, but wemust go and knock

on doors and search

for opportunities. Theyouth of this town

just dont do properresearch and thenblame it on thegovernment.

Right: Mr Marumo Mabokwane said: No, I

dont think enough is being done. The youthempowerment projects are only aimed atempowering those who are ANC members.An example is the National YouthDevelopment Agency (NYDA) which has

replaced the Youth Commission, but it is still

being manipulated by the ANC. When theytalk, they talk like they want to empowereveryone, but actually they want to uplift theANC.

Mr Peter Mdhluli said: Im also a part of the

youth. What opportunities is governmenttalking about? Ive got a masters degree, yetI am unemployed. We cant see progress inTubatse. Ive never seen any opportunities inTubatse. They should advertise theopportunities more. They exclude us. They

talk yet there is no progress. Ive been aresident of this area for 27 years. When I was

studying I called the municipality to apply fora bursary, but they tell me they dont givebursaries to LLB students. Ive tried, but didnot get anything. Posts as well. When you

hear theyve appointed someone at themunicipality without us seeing the jobadvertisements.

Mantises belong to the Mantodea family ofinsects and contains over 2 400 recognised

species.The closest relatives of mantises are termites

and cockroaches. Mantises can see up to20 metres. The dark spot in each eye iscalled a pseudopupil. Those who have wingswill have two sets of wings - outer and innerwings. The outer wings are usually used forcamouflage and as a protective shield for

the hind wings.

Mantises try to protect themselves through

camouflage and concealment. If they arethreatened they may spread their wings tolook larger and some species have brightcoloured wings as additional deterrent. Theymay also strike with their forelegs and attemptto pinch or bite. The Mantis on this

photograph almost melted into the brick wallwith its camouflage.
