67 minutes - why?

This question arose in the mind of this newspaper’s editor when he could not sleep,wondering how he will accomodate all the good stories of people, businesses and largecompanies doing good on Mandela Day that literally swamped the available space inPlatinum Gazette this week.

Newspapers are businesses and more pages cannot simply be added without themeans to pay for it. The other difficult question was, what to put on the front page?

As the editor travelled through the area this week, what he saw made him baulk. Thedirt that was not cleaned (and is still piling up), the neglect and vandalising of publicamenities and the fact that nobody seems to care about stuff like traffic lights not workingfor months and raw sewerage literally flowing through the streets in Burgersfort’s centralbusiness area (top photograph).

So there you have it, just a few photographs to remind everybody that 67 minutesonce a year is a good idea, but that much more will be needed from government, companiesand ordinary people to create a good living evironment for all. Top, right is the side of theroad between Burgersfort and Praktiseer, a terrible dumping site on both sides of theroad and the Leboeng Community Hall (right), with not a single door or electrical plug orfitting left, animal waste all over the floor, only two windows not vandalised.

The blade cuts in all directions. Read the good stories inside.

Registered Debt Counsellor & Administrator(Reg No: NCRDC 487)

Office in Lydenburg now also open!

You can go from this to this

You can get out of debt. With the help of a regis-tered Debt Counsellor it can be easier than youthink!Times are tough and you need to seek help as soonas you see that you are unable to pay all our billson time. A registered Debt Counsellor will assistyou in drawing up a budget that will allow you torepay your debt, but also still be able to pay forliving expenses such as food, transport and utili-ties.If it is necessary, the Debt Counsellor will go tocourt on your behalf to negotiate a better repay-ment term for your debt. The key is however that

you still need a monthly income and althoughthe monthly payments may be reduced, you willstill have to repay the debt. You will also not beallowed to make new debt if you are placed un-der Debt Review.Being under Debt Review will prevent the banksand other creditors from repossessing things likeyour home or your car. That is why it is impor-tant to seek help before it is too late. Once they’vestarted with legal action against you, the DebtCounsellor may not be able to assist you.Make sure that you visit a NCR registered DebtCounsellor as you will be making a monthly pay-ment towards them which will be directed to thevarious places you owe money. Should you makeuse of an unregistered person, you run the riskof losing your money and getting deeper into fi-nancial trouble than you already are.

More than 100 virusescan cause the commoncold and most peoplesuffer from it at least

once a year.

It is winter again and the common cold is one of themost seen ailments this time of the year. The commoncold is an infection of your upper respiratory tract - inother words, your nose and throat. Anyone of more thana 100 viruses can cause a common cold. It is usuallyharmless although it may not feel that way.Some of the symptoms include a runny nose, sore throat,watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, mild fatigue, slightbody aches or a mild headache, congestion and even alow-grade fever.Especially pre-school children are at risk of frequentcolds, but even healthy adults can experience it once oftwice a year. Most people recover from the commoncold within two weeks. If the symptoms do not improveit is recommended that you visit your doctor.Often a common cold can be treated with over thecounter medicines and immune boosters. Pain reliev-ers, decongestant nasal sprays, cough syrups and otherproducts are available from your pharmacy. Visit yournearest Kalapeng Pharmacy for assistance should youneed over the counter medicine for a common cold.
