Crimeprevention in

GaMashamotane

It is not only roads in the Greater Tubatse Municipality that are receiving attention lately, but also acces bridgesand larger projects, of which construction is now nearing completion according to the deadlines in theIntegrated Development Plan. On of these projects is the access bridge over the stream in Dresden villagenear Burgersfort (top photograph). When in flood in the rainy season, the full stream cuts off part of the villageand residents can’t go to work, nor can the children reach the school on the other side. It seems that thisproblem is now something of the past ....

In the bottom photograph is the new bridge over the Olifants River near Moroke on the road to Mafefe village.While traffic still have to pass through the very low river at the moment, the bridge as almost completed whileconstruction of the access to the bridge is progressing fast. As far as Platinum Gazette could see, this bridgewill also be in use by the time the first rains fall.

ANC’s 100years

celebratedThe ANC in Sekhukhune concluded its centenary celebrations in the region last week Friday with a rally adjacent toBatubatse Primary School in Praktiseer. Keynote speaker was ANC Limpopo chairman, Premier Cassel Mathale. Theevent was also attended by other ANC high brass in the province and the provincial secretary, former MEC, SovietLekganyane (centre in bottom photograph, sharing something with Mathale on his left and regional chairman,Sekhukhune District Mayor, Mogobo David Magabe).

Chairman Mathale focused his speech on three main points. Hy emphasized that party members should use thestructures in the party to make grievances known and to initiate change. He called on dicipline in party ranks. Withregards to the economy he reiterated that it is the party’s view that economic freedom has not been achieved and thatpolicies should be implemented in future to achieve this goal. In this regard he stated that it is imperative that theterms of reference must be clearly spelled out to all roleplayers and that uncertainty with regard to policy should bekept to the minimum in future.

In that way the road to transformation will by clear to ordinary people, investors, business and government. Hesaid that the example of Nelson Mandela should be followed, saying “We need a Mandela, someone who’s example indeeds and character can be followed.”

Betrekkings/Vacancies

86A car that says ‘waku doki’ – meaning it is built to create excitement and gets your heartracing in the words of Toyota president, Akio Toyoda.

Toyota’s newest sports car the, 86, or ‘hachi roku’ in its home market, Japan, was madeavailable to Platinum Gazette by Burgersfort Toyota this week for a photo session(unfortunately no driving, it was not fitted with permits or plates yet).

Mr Toyoda earlier said of the rear-wheel-drive sports car: “I am very proud of this car.Thank you for the patience of car lovers - they are going to enjoy this car.”

When seeing it in the metal for the first time, it seems that the compact 2+2 Toyota wasconceived as an entirely driver-focused machine, designed to deliver the core qualities ofthe classic sports car experience. That means precise, instant response to the smallestthrottle and steering inputs and the kind of performance that appeals to those for whomdriving is a passion.

The 86 is built on a new platform, with a highly aerodynamic bodyshell stretched tightover the car’s mechanical elements. Rather than fitting a heavy, large capacity powertrain,Toyota has opted instead to go back to its sporting roots, installing a compact, front-mounted, free-revving petrol engine that drives the rear wheels.

This four-cylinder ‘boxer’ unit was developed in cooperation with Subaru (and it is alsoindicated on the plastic covering the mill) and generates 147kW at 7000 rpm. Maximumtorque of 205 Nm comes in at 6600rpm, giving the 86 brisk performance. The top speed ofthis lightweight (around 1 200 kg), rear-wheel drive coupe is said to be just over 220 km/hand the benchmark 0-100 km/h sprint should be completed in around 7,2 seconds.

The powertrain is matched to the world’s most compact four-seat design to create a carthat benefits from light weight, low inertia and a low centre of gravity to achieve the bestpossible power-to-weight ratio. For the driver that means lively, accessible performance anddynamic character with minimal intrusion from electronic systems. Both the powertrain andthe driving position have been set as low and as far back as possible to achieve the bestbalance: the car has a near-perfect 53:47 front-to-rear weight distribution. The flat-fourengine format and the driver’s hip point (the lowest of any current Toyota production model)together give the 86 an ultra-low centre of gravity, at just 475mm.

The 86 makes the most of a light kerb weight, making it easy for drivers to exploit itsnimble handling and cornering poise. The suspension features MacPherson struts at thefront and double wishbones at the rear. The car rides on 17-inch wheels and is fitted withventilated disc brakes fore and aft.

Toyota has added its D-4S injection technology to the 1998 cc four-cylinder engine. Thissystem features separate twin injectors for both direct and port injection, and a high 12.5:1compression ratio, increasing power and torque across a wide range of engine speedswithout sacrificing fuel efficiency and environmental performance.

The flat-four engine has equal bore and stroke of 86.0mm and drives through either asix-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. The manual offers quick, preciseshifts using a tactile, short-throw lever; the automatic transmission can be controlled usingpaddle shifts mounted on the steering wheel.

Power is distributed to the rear wheels via a limited slip differential to give the bestpossible grip in all driving conditions. The ABS and switchable vehicle stability controlsystems have been tuned specifically to deliver dynamic stability at the limit of the car’sperformance envelope with minimal electronic intervention to help preserve the purity of thedriving experience.

On board, the ergonomics and function of every element the driver interacts with havebeen scrutinised to make driving the car as natural, instinctive and rewarding as possible.For example, the steering wheel has a 365mm diameter, making it the smallest ever fitted toa Toyota, and it is trimmed in buckskin, developed from exhaustive feedback from testdrivers on how to achieve the best steering performance and grip.

The three-meter instrument cluster is arranged around a large tachometer, its designbenefiting from close attention to the positioning of the displays, markings and typeface. Theresult is the best possible visibility and readability. The driver-focus of the cockpit is furtherreinforced by the carbon-effect trim, all-black roof lining, red stitching on the upholstery,aviation-style rocker switches and lightweight, aluminium pedals. The car is locally availableat Burgerfort Toyota just shy of R300 000, going up midway to R400 000 depending on yourindividual choice. You can trade in the family saloon, but then you must shrink the kids (andbaggage)! This car is definitely build for fun, it is not a hauler.
