Opportunities for women

The Businesswomen’s Association of South Africa, with the slogan ‘A platform for the inspiration and empowerment of women’ is in the process of establishing a branch locally. A meeting in this regard was held on Wednesday at the Thaba Moshate Hotel, Casino and Convention Resort in Burgersfort where businesswomen were adressed by various speakers. The organisation explained its mission and objectives and enlightened women on how to explore the avenues available for successful entrepreneurship with industries such as the mines in the area.

Marula to stay with Implats

Impala Platinum Holdings (Implats) has decided not to try and dispose of Marula Platinum Mine near Burgers-fort any more.Implats’ strategic process an-nounced in February 2015 outlined an option to seek value through a possible disposal of its Marula operation, which is situated on the Eastern Limb of the Bushveld. The company said on Thursday this week that following a thorough as-sessment over the last quarter, “theBoard of Directors of Implats (“the Board”) has resolved that enhanced shareholder returns will best be obtained by focusing on strategic interventions that will optimise per-formance at this operation, including a reduction in operating costs and growing output to 90 000 platinum ounces per annum. Consequently, the Board has ended the formal disposal process”.

DWARSRIVIER MINE

Last week Friday the community of Mashishing were overjoyed when Dwarsrivier Mine handed over a paved road connec ng the Community Health Care Centre with the tarred road leading to the Thusong Service Centre.The event was a ended amongst others by manage-ment of Dwarsrivier Chrome Mine, The Execu ve May-or, Cllr B M Ncongwane and offi cials, the Mpumalanga MEC for Health, Mr G P Mashego and African Rainbow Minerals’ (ARM) Group Execu ve, Ms Princess Thwala.The highlight of the speeches was that the govern-ment’s (local, provincial and na onal) partnership with private business and industry is paramount in com-munity development and that the private sector could through the right assistance, do much to contribute to government’s share in making life easier for all.Ac ng Senior General Manager of Dwarsrivier, Mr Rian Burger explained to the audience why it was important for the mine to assist communi es in health and edu-ca on and stressed that synergy between the mine and its communi es are important for sustained economic development.Ms Princess Thwala, who originally hails from Sabie, said she has a so spot for the area as it is her home ground. In her speech she touch on the importance of educa on and encour-aged learners to qualify

themselves so that they can be employed by indus-try or start their own enterprises, saying those who have dropped out of school must go back and qualify themselves because without educa on a large number of opportuni es will stay out of reach. She also urged the community to look a er their assets gained through development projects, saying “We use ck boxes to determine whether communi es look a er what was given to them. If they don’t, companies are reluctant to help them”. Mr Mashego on his part stressed the importance of health in development and said he will not tolerate civil servants that do not deliver services that the commu-nity deserves. He also announced that the province’s new target for circumcisions this year is 150 000 as opposed to last year’s 60 000 and he encouraged men of all ages to have themselves circumcised as it is a fact that it reduces the incidence of HIV / Aids (somebody asked whether men could wait ll a er month end). He also pleaded for the private sector to remain involved in community upli ment and expressed the wish that the partnership with Dwarsrivier can be broadened. The dignitaries and audience walked the new paved road a er the conclusion of the formali es before cu ng the ribbon, opening it for use.

Back to the river for water?Attempts to upgrade water infrastructure in Burgersfort has left many residents angry as their pipes are running dry for days. The contractor installing the pipe has in Ext. 5 dug up sections of the existing water supply infrastructure twice in one week. The fi rst was relatively quickly repaired on Friday last week, but the second happened on Tuesday and by yesterday at the time of going to print the water has not been restored. It being month-end has also caused a major disruption in the traffi c fl ow and access to businesses in Morone Street.

The local Lepelle Contact Centre is unable to give any time frame of when the water supply will be restored and could not give any answers as to what alternative plans for access to water is being made for residents. No offi cial communication with regards to the situation was received from either the Sekhukhune District Municipality or Lepelle Northern Water and early morn-ing calls went unanswered.A question to the Call Centre Operator on whether people should now go directly to the river for their water was replied with “I don’t know’.

Jeug skryf gebedsbrieweVerlede week Vrydagaand het die Jesus Factor Jeug ballonne by Tubatse Crossing Mall gaan uitdeel. Die ballonne het ‘n dieper betek-enis gehad omdat daar aan elkeen ‘n gebed vasgemaak is. Die gebede het dinge bevat wat die gemeenskap graag van God wil vra. Die gebedspapiertjies is simbolies met helium gevulde ballonne opgestuur hemel toe. “Dit het gegaan oor die aksie van gebed en geloof wat daarmee saamgaan,” verduidelik Philip Smit. Daarna het die groep by Bison Falls Spur gaan eet en hulle bedank die bestuur van Bison Falls Spur opreg vir die ondersteuning. Die Jesus Factor Jeug is al ‘n geruime tyd in Burgersfort, maar daar is nou verskeie nuwe verwikkelinge. Die groep het onlangs ‘n Jeug Sentrum bekom wat vol lekker bedrywighede gestop gaan word. Daar sal goed soos “pool” tafels, TV’s, Internet en WiFi, tafeltennis, ‘n ‘chill area’, koffi ekroeg en braaiarea wees. Borge wat graag hiermee wil help is welkom. Die idee is om die jeug van die area iets te bied om Vrydagaande te doen. Daar is altyd volwasse toesig en tieners vanaf 13 jaar kan kom saam kuier. Christen-wees hoef nie ‘boring’ te wees nie.

The Mokka, according to Internet encyclopedia, Wikipedia, derives its name from a type of coffee, but it does not say why General Motors had chosen this name of the mini SUV type of Opel (or Buick or Vauxhaull depending where you buy it in the world).

We took a white Cosmo manual (six speed, 1.4 turbo) from Westvaal Steelpoort for a drive to see if this car is everybody’s cup of coffee. The range is small, with four models, sharing the same engine, all are front wheel drive, and available in two levels of trim, Enjoy (cheaper with cloth seats etc.) and the Cosmo (luxurious leather and all the electronic bells and whistles, standard Intellilink infotainment with rear parking camera and front proximity sensor and 230 volt inverter power supply).

Things like climate control, power windows and cruise control are standard for all mod-els, with both the Cosmo and Enjoy also available with automatic six- speed gearbox with a manual shift mode.

A strong point of the car is that you ride high, the engine supplies more than enough pow-er for all your needs and it brakes like there is no tomorrow. Incidentally the Korean made car (although it is an Opel) is now also assembled in Spain to satisfy the needs of the European market where it apparently sells like hot cakes (with the coffee?) One of its strongest selling points in that market is that it is probably the safest car in its class and scored kudos in all the categories of the NCAP test.

It drives well, with the interior of the Cosmo luxurious enough for anybody’s taste, but it is marred by noise, especially road noise. On-road stability is good if not excellent, but what also hampered the driving experience is that the manual gearbox felt notchy and the gears did not go intuitively go into the gates.

What we absolutely loved about the car is the space. It has a large boot and the back seats can be folded down in a 60:40 confi guration to create a carnivorous luggage space. Back seat passengers (adult ones) will also sit comfortably with enough space to stretch their legs. That seat of the back seat can also be folded up on its own to create a taller load space for something like a pot plant. Nice.

The car we drove sells for R325 500 and should defi nitely be on your list if you want something in this market segment. We will go for the cheaper one starting from R288 500. Westvaal Steelpoort is available on 013 230 9230 if you want such a car.

Juventus FC played against Pick n Pay Tubatse Crossing Mall at Apiesdoorn Sports Ground on Saturday last week. The Pick n Pay team dominated the match from the start when Elvis made no mistake with the ball that came his way to score the visitors’ fi rst goal.

This was however ruled as offside. The visi-tors kept knocking on the Juventus defence when striker Tshephang made a brilliant pass to Paul who took a long range shot. The Ju-ventus keeper was however wide awake and saved it. The half time score was 0-0.

In the second half the Pick n pay team came back with confi dence, but they were just not good enough to get a goal after Thabang’s fi ne pass to Pick n Pay striker Mahlatse. The Juventus keeper once again saved the ball. In the dying minutes of the game Juventus’ Justice placed a goal past the Pick n Pay keep-er to make the fi nal score 1-0 in favour of Juventus F.C. (Information & photo: Pick n Pay Tubatse Crossing team).

time, but failed to penetrate the defence. In the second half the Masters’ domination continued. Lekgotla Motswi-ane scored another goal to make it 3-0. The visitors fi nally scored their fi rst goal by Khomotso King Lesese to reduce the marging to 3-1. Pitso Sehlabela also put his name on the score sheet and scored the Masters’ fourth goal.

Kom ondersteun Ohrigstad

Rugby KlubOhrigstad Rugby Klub is steeds besig met ‘n taai stryd in die ligareeks. Hulle het verlede week Saterdag teen Nel-spruit gespeel, maar dit was ‘n moeilike wedstryd. Die manne het tot op die laaste probeer om die wedstryd in hul guns te draai. Nelspruit het ‘n drie ged-ruk en ‘n strafskop oorgesit. Ohrigstad se Juan van Zyl het twee strafskoppe tussen die pale deurgesit. Naby die ein-de van die wedstryd is nog ‘n strafskop aan hulle toegeken. Martin van den Berg het die keer pale toe gemik en ongeluk-kig die pale getref. “Ons was maar net ongelukkig om nie die laaste skop oor te kry nie,” sê Quartus du Toit van die Klub. Die wedstryd het 8-6 in die guns van Nelspruit geëindig. Hierdie week speel hulle teen die Bosvelders van Hoedspruit in ‘n tu-iswedstryd. Daar sal twee wedstryde wees. Die een sal die Gryskatte teen die Ou Manne van die Bosvelders wees en die ander die ligawedstryd. Afskop is reeds teen 14:00. Kom ondersteun die span by Laerskool Ohrigstad, hulle het die gees en ondersteuning nodig. (Inligting: Quartus du Toit).
