In a landmark judgement on Tuesday, the
Constitutional Court (ConCourt) set aside
p r ospec t i ng r i gh t s g r an t ed t o Genor ah
Resources on the land of the Bengwenyamacommunity near Burgersfort, who lives on
the farms E erstegeluk and Nooitverwacht.
These farms compr ises two of three
f a r m s ( t h e o t h e r i s H o e p a k r a n t z ) ,
c om p r i s i n g N k w e P l a t i n u m s T u b a t s e
Project.
The court found that Genorah (a black
economic empowerment BEE entity, that
ho l d s 63% o f Nkwe P l a t i num ) had no t
c o n s u l t e d w i t h t h e B e n g w e n y a m a
commun ity as required by the Mineral an d
Petroleum Resources Development Act and
t ha t o f f i c i a l s f r om t he Depar t m en t o f
M i n e r a l R e s o u r c e s h a d n o t g i v e n t h e
landowners a hearing an d had n ot complied
w i t h t h e f a i r n e s s r e q u i r e m e n t s o f t h e
Promotion of Administrative Justice Act.
The court said a fter the case, i t concerned
the administrative fairness of the allocationof prospect ing r ights to a th i rd par ty in
t e r m s o f t h e M i n e r a l a n d P e t r o l e u m
Resources Developmen t Act (th e Act) on land
owned by a commu nity. The first respondent
(Genorah) was a warded prospecting rights
on the commun itys land . The communit ys
challenge to the award in the North Gauteng
High Cour t , Pretor ia was dismissed. An
appeal to the Supreme Court Appeal was
also dismissed on the ground, like in the
High Court, that t he commun ity had failed
to bring th e application for review timeously
in terms of the provisions of the Promotion
of Administrative Justice Act (PAJA).
The Supreme Court of Appeal did not
dec i de t he m er i t s o f t he com m un i t y s
grounds of review. The community applied
to the Const i tu t ional Cour t for leave to
appeal against the decision of the Supreme
Court of Appeal. The commun ity conten ded
that the Supr eme Court of Appeal erred in
finding tha t the application was brought outo f t i m e a n d f o r n o t f i n d i n g t h a t t h e
communi ty should have been awarded a
p r e f e r en t r i gh t t o p r o spec t i n t e r m s o f
sect ion 104 of the Act . In addi t ion, the
c o m m u n i t y a r g u e d t h a t t h e a w a r d t o
G e n o r a h w a s d e f e c t i v e b e c a u s e o f
irregularities in the required consultation
p r ocess , l ack o f com pl i ance w i t h
environmental requirements and unfai r
administrat ive procedures.
Genorah contended th at th e commun ity
h a d n o r i g h t o f a p p e a l a n d t h a t t h e
communitys application to the High Court
was late. I t was argued that there was in
any event, nothing untoward in the process
and a ward to it of these prospecting rights.
The Constitutional Court decided the matt er
on the basis of whether the decision to
al locate the prospect ing r ights was fai radministrative action. The Court found that
an in ternal appeal was avai lable to the
applicants, t hat t he Department s failure to
d e a l w i t h t h e a p p e a l a m o u n t e d t o a
conclusion of the appeal process, and that
t h e r e v i e w a p p l i c a t i o n h a d t h u s b e e n
brought in time. The Constitutional Court
held further that the grant ing and execution
of prospecting right s is a gra ve invasion of a
property owners rights. The Court h eld that
the pu rpose of consulta tion with landowners,
required by the Act, was to provide them
with the information necessary to mak e an
informed decision on how to respond to the
app l i ca t i on . The Cons t i t u t i ona l Cour t ,
concluded that Genorah ha d not consulted
with the commun ity as required by th e Act,
that the decision-maker had not given the
commun ity a h earing or complied with th e
fairness requirements of PAJA, and that the
environmenta l requirements in terms of the
Act had not been satisfied. Accordingly the
community had not been treated as required
by the Constitution.
Leave to appeal was accordingly gran ted
to the community a nd t he appeal succeeded.
The awards of prospect ing r ights on the
com m u n i t y s l and wer e se t a s i de . TheConstitutional Court therefore ordered the
r e l e v a n t g o v e r n m e n t d e p a r t m e n t a n d
Genorah to pay the a pplicants costs, jointly

Courts judgement did not gran t th is r ight
automatically.
Meanwhile, in another case, the third
farm comprising N kwes Tu batse project,
H o e p a k r a n t z , i s i n t h e s p o t l i g h t . T h e
Supreme Court of Appeal agreed to hear an
appeal by Myelet i Minerals against the
Pret oria High Court 's refusal to set aside the
grant of a prospecting right to Genorah on
the farm. The right was grant ed to Myeletibut wa s inexplicably also granted t o Genorah
in error, as claimed by Myeleti.
I n Augus t 2008 Xs t r a t a t ook up an
exclusive option to acquire a 50% interest
in the Nkwe PGM projects near Burgers fort.
The option was exercisable within 90 days
after completion of a ba nkable feasibility
stu dy (BFS) for Nkwes Gar ata u pr oject (on
the nearby farms De Kom and Garatouw.
N o o i t v e r w a c h t , E e r s t e g e l u k a n d
Hoepak r an t z com pr i se Nkwes Tuba t se
Project). A crucial part of the deal is that
Xstrata will fund the total development
costs of the properties from mining through
to concentrat ing. The BFS for Gara tau
expected in April this year, had been delayed
and was expected to be completed in the
fourth quarter of 2010.
ConCourt judgementhits Genorah
On 29 November 2010, Fran s
Khomotso Nonyana(39) was sentencedto life imprisonment for rape and three
years for abduction. The s entences run
concurrently.
The trial was held at the
Thaba moopo Regional Sexua l Offences
court in Lebowakgomo. On 27
November 2007 the accused picked up
a 10 year old girl in Bothashoek village
with his motor vehicle and t old her to
accompany him to the police station.
Instead he drove in th e direction of
Burgersfort. They went to Burgersfort
to fill-up the car with petrol and when
they were adjacent Alverton village
the accused drove the vehicle into the
bushes and sta rted to rape the young
girl.
Fortunately for the girl a young boy
(13) witnessed the vehicle when itdrove away with t he girl and he
informed the father of the victim. Her
father informed the P olice in Tubatse
who made follow-ups to trace the
motor vehicle. The police spotted t he
white car of the ra pist next to the st op
sign to Ga-Motodi village and they
stopped the vehicle and found the
young girl inside th e vehicle. She told
the Police what ha d happened an d
Nonyana was arrested.
Tubatse P olice say as we are
already in the period of the 16 days of
activism and no violence against
women a nd children, the sent ence is
welcomed a s it will serve as a
deterrent t o would be rapists.

Modikwa encourages know
your status on 1 December
Thorburn Security
at Pasas
At Modikwa Platinum Mine the man agement and
employees commemora ted World Aids Day on 1
December 2010.
Both t he business leaders and unions were in
agreement that employees must know their HIVstatus. The message was tha t if the test is positive,
assist ance can be given in terms of medication an d
councelling. It was emphasised that should a test
result r etur n positive, it is not th e end of the world. With
the right medication and lifestyle that person can still
have a full and pr oductive life.
The workers were told that healthy employees are more
productive, but not only that, their families are alsohappier. The chances are also better that they will be there
in the long run t o help care a nd provide for their families.
Those who have during the year participated in the
voluntary testing to know their HIV stat us were entered
into a lucky draw. The winners in this draw walked away
with prizes such as TVs and DVD players.
Dwarsrivier Chrome Mine also
commemorated World AIDS Day 2010.
Their function was already held on
Monday 29 November
with briefing sessions for all mining and
engineering line ma nagers, an d continued
on Tuesday, with a briefing session for the
plant su pervisors.
The ma in ceremony was h eld on
Wednesday, 1 December, where t hesurface employees were
addressed by both the Senior General
Manager, Mr Fra ncois Uys, and a NUM
representat ive, Ms Maggy Mafulatha . The
main event included a wall-signing
ceremony where all present were
encouraged t o pledge their commitment to
help improve understanding about H IV,
prevent tran smission and stop
prejudice.
During all the s essions, Mr Uys en gaged
in dialogue regarding the reason for World
Aids Day, with
special focus on taking action to tackle
HIV prejudice, dispell myths, de-
stigmatize, and protect
oneself and others from H IV transm ission.
He stressed th e fact tha t HIV is no
different to any
other chronic illness, as it is non-
discriminatory. People who contract the
disease are not bad. Good people also getinfected. We should thu s fight the virus,
and s upport and care for th e people living
with the virus.
He stat ed that it is only by breaking the
silence on HIV and AIDS t hat we will give
people a better u nderstan ding of the
disease and eliminate th e stigma that
sometimes still cling to people living with
HIV/AIDS.
Mr Uys encouraged all Dwarsrivier
employees to ensure that they get tested
and know their HIV status. He further
encouraged those infected to register on a
disease management programme, and
those who are not infected to promote and
mainta in health-orientat ed behaviour.

Burgersfort, also known as the Platinum City, in the Limpopo Province
is set to receive a facelift in more ways than one. Beginning with thetwo residential estates of Cranbrook Property Projects SpekboomRiver Estate and Motaganeng Lifestyle Estate , the well-known schoolgroup Curro are investing in Burgersfort with the construction of amodern new, affordable private model school, within Spekboom River
Estate. Construction of the pre-primary, primary & secondary school
will commence in February 2011 with the first intake planned forJanuary 2012.While the two estates are central to Cranbrooks presence in the area,the Development Company is in Burgersfort for the long-term. Thetotal development encompasses a few thousand residential erven,business and light industrial development, a 43 000m shopping mall,a hospital site, as well as the site for the new school.
While Burgersfort itself has never been a town that strikes one asbeing impressive, residents and visitors will see a gradual change as
each project is completed, until the town soon to be a city reachesthe Developers ideal a Modern African City.Because of the high expected growth of mining activities, populationgrowth in the broader Burgersfort area is expected to rise from its
current population of 36 485 to an estimated 42 466 by 2015. TheGreater Tubatse District of Limpopo, within which Burgersfort falls, isexpected to grow from its current number of 53 851 households to71 055 by 2015, while the simultaneous population growth is expected
to rise from 270 115 to 356 411 within the same time period.The population increase combined with the development of this Modern
African City will undoubtedly attract businesses and national brandsfrom the mining support sector, lifestyle, health and medical sectorsas well as an array of other services. This expansion and advancementis in line with one of Cranbrooks ideals regarding the Platinum City ofBurgersfort and that is to have healthy, happy, well-balanced andcomplete communities.
An important fact to take into consideration when deciding where tolive is, amongst others, is the distance travelled to and from work. It is
not necessarily the distance which is a problem, but rather theassociated risks associated with travelling longer distances. At themoment many roads travelling to towns such as Polokwane andLydenburg for example, are not in the condition they should be. Thiscombined with the fact that early morning mist reduces visibility to a
great extent, makes travelling long distances to the various minesevery morning a greater risk than it would be should one travel shorterdistances such as from Burgersfort. A safer and shorter travellingtime between work and home contributes to a well-balanced lifestyle,
one of the visions Cranbrook aims to achieve in the area.The Estates
Spekboom River Estate is located south east of Burgersfort and itssister development, Motaganeng Lifestyle development to the northeast. Apart from the location, number of stands available (Motaganeng800 residential stands and Spekboom 1 944) and architectural styles,the two developments are almost identical.
Burgersfort - A facelift and
modern new school
Promotion
The combined Estate will have three tiers of schooling
on the property and in a first for South Africa, only 40%of the total property is being developed. The remaining60% is left the way nature intended - allowing for faunaand flora to flourish within this man-made development.This, not only lends the estates to being eco-friendly,
but puts its residents in the enviable position of living
on natures doorstep. There is a variety of game andcountless bird species which live on each estate andwhen this is combined with the fact that the estateshave game rangers doubling up as security guards,residents can feel secure from both humans andanimals.Several green-belts on each development allow for an
easy outdoor lifestyle especially for families withchildren with an entrance gatehouse controlling
access.
Our objective is to have happy customers, says Hoffman
Prinsloo, Cranbrook Property Projects Managing Director,and our customers include all residents and employees inand around the Burgersfort district.

Are you in favour of biased markingToday the last ma tric examination pa per
will be written, but the SA Democrat ic
Teachers Union (Sadtu) in KwaZulu-Natal
have already appealed to those marking the
papers to be biased in favour of African
pupils.
While Sadtu praised the Department of
Education for a smooth running
examination, th ey also appealed to markers
to remember that m any pupils are not
writing the examination in their mother
tongue.
The markers h ould bear in mind th at
African pupils were not writin g in their
mother tongue and spare a th ought for
those affected by th e strike, said Mr
Mbuyiseni Math onsi, Sadtu s provincial
secretary.
The Department of Education, Umalusi
(quality assurer), teacher unions and the
Education Labour Relations Council are
currently in discussions regarding this.
If the mat ric results come out and we
believe that the learners could have done
better in the exams, then we might adjust
the results, said a department
spokesperson.
We are in discussions with sta keholders
about the issue. We must remember that
this year s mat rics are not like the class of
2009. There were a lot of distur bances for
them she added.
The results of the matric examinations ar e
due to be out by January 6, 2011.
We asked readers whether they feel that
biased ma rking or an a djustmen t of the
marks will be in the best interest of the
matrics or not and why.
Mnr. Jarques van der Merwe s: Dit gaan
net op papier goed lyk as hulle die punteaanpas. Dis net polities. As jy pluk, pluk jyen as jy slaag, slaag jy.
Right: Mr Phillip Marebane said: It will bebetter to get a pass, but the problemcomes when they go to university forfurther studies. With Phillip areKhomotso and Sello Marebane.
Mr Sam Mokoena and Ms Precious Makina said: They must give the children at least10% extra because they were at home a lot this year.
Mnr. Ruan Viljoen s: Wat geld vir dieeen moet geld vir almal, maar wat help ditas jy nie daai kennis het nie?
Mnr. Gerhard Mar en me. Bianca Schuttes: As hulle die punte aanpas vir eenmoet hulle dit vir almal doen. Hulle moetregverdig wees.
Mr Sergio Maunde and Ms Salvizon Mokoena said: It is not good for the children tojust pick up marks. When they are going further it is not going to count that theirteachers were on strike.

Ms Mavis Tjie and Ms Mologadi
Maile said: They must fail if theyfail but then they must repeat matricand not stay at home.
Ms Matshidiso Rantho said: Its a goodthing, because they lost time in school.It will benefit the children if they getbetter marks and can pass.
Mr Ellence Monyela said: They must notdo that. They cant make it on tertiarylevel if they did not get a clear pass. Theymust not give certificates for the sake ofgiving certificates.
Ms Benz Mabilo said: It is right becausethe teachers were not full time in theschool. Yes, it will benefit the children toadjust the marks.
