The Limpopo Provincial Council has approved the Limpopo Economic Development
Agency Bill at the Exco meeting held last
week Wednesday in Polokwane.
The Bill completes the amalgamation
of parastatals like Lim Dev, TIL, Libsa. All
of which have formed a single entity called
LEDA (Limpopo Development Agency). The
objectives are to enable the acceleration of
economic development and diversify in the
provincial industrial base and to increase the
competitiveness of the provincial economy in
the fields of agriculture, commerce, housing
industry, mining, training, tourism, public
transport and other businesses.
It also seek to provide leadership by preventing sporadic, uncoordinated, incoherent
economic development projects which are
not in line with provincial policy.

Agro processing
summit in August
Additionally the Executive Council has
approved the hosting of an Agro Processing
Summit to be held in August 2015.
The Agro Processing industry is among
the sectors identified by the Industrial Policy
Action Plan, the New Growth Path and the
National Development Plan for its potential
to increase economic growth and create
employment because of its strong backward
linkage with the primary agricultural sector.
The summit will exploit the value chain
opportunities. The Limpopo Provincial
Government developed an Agro Processing Strategy for the province in 2012. The
strategy was commissioned and developed
in collaboration with LEDET as the economic
sector leader.
The strategy serves as a guiding strategic framework for Agro Processing sector
development and for government integrated
planning.

Negligent
A 48-0year old man from Leboeng New Stand appeared before the
Leboeng Periodical Court on 23 June 2015.
He appeared on a charge of negligent loss of firearm. This was after the
police recovered his firearm from another suspect who was threatening
people with the weapon at a Tavern around Leboeng. The SAPS
investigations led to the arrest of the lawful owner, who by that time
never reported the loss of firearm to the police.
The lawful owner Mr. David Scremanjer was sentenced to two years
imprisonment or a R3000.00 fine half suspended for three years on
condition the accused is not convicted of a similar offence. He was also
declared unfit to possess firearm. We warn other people who have
licenced firearms to safe guard them in terms of the firearm control act
60 of 2000 or they will face the law, Const. Sibatana said.

Greening Burgersfort axed

Local business owners were very upset
when Greater Tubatse Municipality decided to put a fence around a piece of their
property near the old municipal building
at Kort-and Eddie Sedibe Street. Not because of the fence, but because of a tree
that was chopped down.
During Arbor Month, campaigns are led by
officials who call for greening of the area,
yet a decision was taken to chop down a
large tree when the fencing was done.
Mr. Arthur Louser forwarded the photographs to Platinum Gazette. He explained
that the gate which was placed right in
front of the tree could easily have been
moved to keep the tree. He asked whether this was done to simply put money into
someones pocket
- as work like this is
not usually done for
free.
Another local
businessman also
complained about
this to the newspaper saying he
approached the
municipality when
the workers started, to request that
they keep the tree.
Greening Burgersfort
is such a difficult
task and now it has
received another
(axe) blow.

A doctor with parking problems

On Tuesday afternoon the driver of this official
government vehicle belonging to the Department of Health and Social Development parked
right behind other vehicles in Burgersfort. (No
emergency) According to the door of the vehicle
a doctor was driving the bakkie. The driver of
the vehicle did this illegal parking manoeuvre to
attend to his dry cleaning needs at a local shop.
Upon leaving he almost caused an accident trying
to hide from the camera.
Platinum Gazette asked the Department for
comment on this incident. By the time of going
to press the following was received: This email
serves to acknowledge receipt of your inquiry and
assure you that the matter will be escalated to
the division concerned to enable us to respond
adequately to the questions advanced. Regards,
Meodi Mothapo, Deputy Manager: Corporate and
Internal Communication.
Platinum Gazette will keep you updated as soon
as a response is received.

Almost done
Tarring of the access road leading from the
R36 at Leboeng towards Banareng and Makopung Villages is almost completed.
Residents had in the past been locked from
the outside world in the rainy season when the
dirt road became one long muddy river.
The newly tarred surface will not only ensure
a faster and safer journey, but also ensure that
teachers and children dont miss school due to
inaccessible roads.
These photographs were taken on Saturday
while contractors were working to tar the
surface.

What do you think about Eskoms

Eskom is asking a 24,78% tariff increase for
this year. Their application for approval of
this, is currently being heard by the National
Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa).
According to Eskoms acting CEO, Brian
Molefe and their head of Generation, Thava
Govender, the country will suffer more load
shedding if their application is not fully
approved. They argued that load shedding
is costing the country more than the impact
their requested increase will have.
Their application has been widely slammed
by businesses and experts alike. Chris
Yelland, an energy expert told the media this
week that Eskoms Medupi and Kusile coal
power stations should have brought relief
as anticipated in their Nersa application for
the period of 2013 2017. These stations
are however behind schedule and not fitting
into the anticipated plans. Had they been
on track, only 3,65% of the additional hike
Eskom is now asking would have been
necessary. An increase of 12,69% for the
2015/2016 financial year had previously been
approved.
Its (Eskoms) request for this massive increase amounts to extortion from a monopolistic organization which is trying to make
its customers pay for its and its solitary
shareholders lack of planning, foresight and
power station maintenance, Angus Macmillan told the Nersa this week. Macmillan
owns a corporate communications company.
He added that the 12,6% increase Eskom
has already received is at twice the rate of
inflation and much higher than the original
increase granted. He also explained that as a
small business owner his clients would not be
willing to pay for more than a reasonable 6%
average increase. Should he be required to
put up his tariffs to accommodate the Eskom
price hike, hed be out of business.
Big industries also commented. Jurg Zaayman from the Ferroalloys Producers Association of SA told Nersa that Eskoms requested
increase will endanger up to 20 000 job
opportunities. A further 900 jobs of people
working in the manufacturing of silicon metals
could also be destroyed. He said: Prior the
cost of electricity was about 40% of the total
cost and is now at just more than 50%. I fail
to see how they can survive if the current
application for tariff increase is granted.
Platinum Gazette asked readers what they
think about Eskoms application for an approximate 25% increase.

Mr. William Maahlo said: It is not fair. Now

Eskom talk about possible privatization.
When will government take over? Our taxes
are going up, but I think our government
is misusing the money. Government must
realize that they will also suffer if the people
lose their jobs because of Eskoms tariff
hike they will then not get those peoples
taxes. They should do something. Government must make a plan to give the money to
fix Eskom, if it after that still fails give it to
private people to run.

Mr. Paulus Makofane said: No, it is unfair.

Our salaries dont go up. We have to pay
more for transport and everything, but once
a price is up it never comes down again. The
public transport remains at the higher price
even if the petrol price comes down. This will
happen with the electricity as well. I cannot
afford to pay more for electricity.

Mr. Frans Matsepane said: No, this tariff hike

is not fair. If you look at the unemployment
rate and now at a possible 25% increase. Eskom will put the whole country into a depression. I dont know what, but they must come
up with another solution.

Ms. Elsie Mashishi said: I dont think Nersa

should approve this tariff hike. It is too much.
Economically it is not reasonable. Job security will be negatively impacted. They should
look for better options to improve. A 25%
increase is not even a guarantee that there
will be electricity. Looking at South Africa with
the scarcity of jobs, it is still a disadvantage
if they put jobs on the line with this increase.
People losing their jobs will just increase the
problem of unemployment.

Mr. Donald (Bigman) Netshifhefhe said: It

is fair. The price of everything is increasing.
They cant fix the big problem of load shedding if they dont get that increase. If they get
it, maybe they can stop this load shedding.
It is a big problem. Ill pay, but then no load
shedding please!

Mr. DJ Zwane said: I blame government.

They must help the poor. If they dont help,
what can we do? Now the electricity is very
expensive. I am self-employed and every
week I buy R50 of electricity. I cannot afford
to pay more. I also dont want load shedding.

Mr. Lucky Mohlala said: Any raise will affect

the public, especially households. People
rely on grants to live. Now it is winter. They
rely on electricity to keep warm. Most people
will not be able to afford this much more
than what theyve got in their budget. This is
something that will not only affect industries.

Mr. Johannes Paka said: As long as the

ANC is ruling the country nothing is possible.
We have a R49 billion loan from the World
Bank to help pay for Medupi. I ask everyone
to please stand up and choose the right people to rule. Eskom can increase their tariffs,
but not more than 6,5%. It is just business.
Eskom must see to it that people pay for
what they use. Check every household and
eradicate illegal connections, otherwise they
wont make money. Investors in our country
are already crying and Eskom is making us
suffer.

Mr. Lucious Tau said: They must not increase it so much. We cant afford it. It is too
much. It is also bad to have load shedding,
because then there is no business around.

Mr. Lucky Molemi said: Privatization is the

answer. Sell parts of Eskom so we can have
private guys to sort this out. Load shedding
is bad. We cannot live like that, but we can
also not afford a 25% increase. It is not good
for our economy. If they go private it will be
better. With him is Onkabetse.

proposed 25% tariff increase?

Mr. Tso Madiba and Mr. Shadrack Mohlatlole said: This is not fair. They are being led by a
corrupt government, and that is killing everyone. If a part of Nkandlas money had been paid
back, it could have gone to Eskom. We are dying because of them. They fail to hire competent people, yet they increase their own salaries every year. There is no improvement in
their service delivery. The government must sort out this mess so we can enjoy living in this
democratic country.

Mr. Danish Muhmmed said: People cannot

afford it. The salaries are staying the same,
so people cannot afford such an increase of
25%. It is too much. People will rather cope
with load shedding, but they must just manage the load shedding.

Mnr. Rhyno McKenzie s: Dis n lelike storie.

As Eskom dit kry gaan baie mense dalk hul
werk verloor. As hulle die verhoging nie kry
nie sal ons amper nooit krag h nie. Miskien
moet hulle mense wat weet van die goed by
Eskom aanstel. Dan sal hulle dalk 25% meer
waardevol vir die land wees.

Mr. Tolerance Makofane and Ms. Nthabiseng Mafogo said: It is unfair. Some people are not
working. Grants are not going up 25%. People cant afford to pay more. Government must do
something.

Mnr. Allen Ngwane s: Gee daai 25% verhoging, maar dan mag hulle nie meer load
shedding doen nie.
Mr. Patrick Phoku said: Eskom management
did poor planning. They got increases all
these years way above average increases and still we have load shedding. It is
too much. It is killing us. As a small business
owner I feel increases like this very much.
Rental will go up, electricity bills go up, but
the business income is not going up this
much. Our clients wont accept more than a
5 or 6% increase, but Eskom wants 25%. It is
way too much. Eskom must get their house
in order.

Mnr. Phillip Roetz s: Die hele land se ekonomie en veral die mynbou staan op wankelrige
bene. So n verhoging kan baie van die marginale myne en ander besighede wat reeds sukkel
n doodslag toedien. Vir die gemiddelde gebruiker beteken dit hy sal ekstra geld moet uithaal
wat hy nie het nie. Behalwe vir die feit dat elektrisiteit duur is, kos beurtkrag industrie ook
geld. Hulle moet Eskom privatiseer.
Mnr. Carl Lourens s: Dit is besig om die ekonomie dood te druk. Die verbruiker betaal vir
die wan-administrasie van Eskom. Ons rekening het nou al so opgegaan almal soek alternatiewe. Dit is duidelik daar is oor n lang tydperk nie al die nodige onderhoud by Eskom gedoen nie en nou moet 2 kragstasies toegemaak word vir onderhoud. As ons seker maak dat
in al sulke organisasies soos Eskom die regte persone met die regte kwalifikasies aangestel
word, sal daar baie minder gesukkel word. Die verhoging van
25% is ongeveer 400% meer
as die inflasiekoers van 6%. Dit
is onaanvaarbaar.

Left: Mr. Nicolas Mabunela

said: It is not fair for Eskom
to increase the price like this.
Many people are not employed
and cannot afford to pay these
prices. Now we also have the
problem of load shedding.
Where I stay the power goes off
every day.

Mr. Jacoob Kalla said: They are misusing

the money. Eskom is not looking after the
money. They need to cut down on the salaries of their top bosses. The bosses should
subsidize our electricity. I will fight against a
25% increase.

Right: Mr. Israel Aphane said: It is bad.

Eskom is under pressure. It is no longer
working. There are a lot of illegal connections
that cost Eskom money. People also dont
pay their bills and municipalities owe them
lots of money. It is a problem.

The Leboeng SAPS in partnership with the
Leboeng Victim Empowerment Programme
(VEP), the CPF and the Youth Desk as well
as Love Life made sure that that Leboengs
youth were not involved with criminal activities on 20 June 2015.
They held a crime awareness campaign at
the Mareologe Sports Ground and a large
number of people attended from various
villages in the area.
The campaign started with a formal session. Leboeng Station Commander, Captain
Solomon Moholane addressed the crowd and
warned the youth to refrain from using drugs.
He added that the SAPS will make sure that
those involved with drugs, especially selling
thereof end up behind bards.
The chairperson of the Leboeng Victim Empowerment board, Mr Mabelande explained
the role of VEP and how it assists victims.

NEWS
He also told the audience that people who
are being abused and victimised must feel
free to report this to the police because the
VEP support centre is there to assist them
with shelter and emotional support for that
moment if there is a need.
Miss Leboeng SAPS 2014, Mapule Mosoma
encouraged the youth to focus on their
education. She also warned them to avoid
getting a criminal record as this will affect
their future. The campaign ended with a U/16
top four soccer tournament and a game of
womens soccer. Pelaneng soccer team won
the tournament by defeating Gamabelane
Soccer team 4-2. In the womens soccer a
team from Leboeng New Stands won the
tournament by defeating Rutseng soccer
team 2-1. The winning teams walked away
with trophies. (Information & Photographs:

Orlando - a
hidden gem
Orlando. Who choose these car model names anyway? Why anybody would
call a car Orlando, we really dont know, but if Platinum Gazettes test driver
could name it, it will be something depicting a large comfortable place to be
in (mind you, Sofa our Couch does not sound as grand as Orlando we give
up).
But that is exactly what this vehicle is.
Although it is now discontinued in most important international markets
(Europe, Canada) you can still have it here from R301 300, which is not that
much bearing in mind what you get for the money.
This car is more characterful than beautiful, the 1.8 litre petrol engine is
OK, but the vehicle would have fared better with a larger six cylinder petrol or
turbo diesel power plant. Rubber burning is not remotely on the agenda, and
we do not think a fully laden seven seater will make for a brisk drive up the
Waterfalls River Pass to Lydenburg. Which is of cause safer, especially coupled
with the vehicles five star safety rating.
The above-mentioned, may sound confusing, but the truth is, we loved
the vehicle. It may not be pretty, but it is superbly comfortable (built on the
Chevrolet Cruze platform in Korea) and large with loads of space as long as
you do not want to transport more than five people. The jump seats in the
back are really only suited for small children and eats the luggage space. The
seats are wide enough but leg space is the major issue.
We drove the car with just two people on board. The engine is willing
enough (but a bit lame for such a large vehicle) noise, harshness and vibration are very well suppressed making for a relatively quiet smooth ride (this
thing will eat the Ga-Mampuru road before breakfast just be careful as it is
as low as a car). The gates of the five-speed manual gearbox are very precise
and smooth and you will be able to stay in the car for long comfortable hours.
Road holding in the iteration we tested it, was also quite good.
And yes, USB, 3.5 mmm link, radio etc. everything is there, with an
air-conditioner and infotainment system.
So, what do we have here? A jewel in disguise, which is maybe not so fashionable, but a big surprise as far as value for money is concerned. Westvaal
Steelpoort at 013 430 9230 will answer all your questions if you want one.
