The contractor constructing the road between Steelpoort and the R37 between
Burgersfort and Mashishing (Lydenburg) is moving fast with the next section of the
road after the first couple of kilometres were completed. Farmers in the area say the
already completed section is full of defects (see letter on page 12).
Rainscarce,stormsmore

area since the beginning of
spring. Short, but violent
storms are more the order of

Dream
shattered?
Nothing seems t o be going on at the
Tswelopele Irrigation Scheme next t o the
Steelpoort/Tubatse river at Praktiseer.
The sheds on t he piece of land wh ere
agricultural equipment usually stood, was
empty on Wednesday with n obody in sight.
Nearer to the river it seemed that t he
sprinkler system installed for irrigation
was damaged an d sprinkler pipes was
hanging untidily from the overhead
framework.
Ususally this time of the year, the site
is a h ive of activity to get th e potato crop
in the ground. Across the road, a number
of cattle was grazing on the plants that
just came u p randomly on the field. A
quick visit to the Department of
Agricultur es offices in P rakt iseer did not
leave the reporter any wiser.
The local office says it is not allowed
to speak to the media and Polokwane
should be conta cted. Which the
newspaper tried its best to do with
meagre communication mean s at its
disposal (see the cellphone signal debacle
elesewhere in this issu e).
Before going to press facts were not
yet available, apart form the fact that
nothing is happening at this m odelproject with r umours doing the r ounds of
terr ible infighting between
beneficiaries...
Sylvania Resources has achieved record platinum-
group metals (PGMs) production of 8 621 oz in
the third quarter of the year.
Production for the three months ended
September 30, 2010, exceeded the 8 000 oz
targeted by management and supports the groups
aspirations to produce 40 000 oz/y of PGMs in the
2011 calendar year.
Sylvania holds a 74% interest in Sylvania
Dump Operations, which treats chrome tailings to
recover PGMs from Samancor Chromes mines on
the eastern and western limbs of the Bushveld
Igneous Complex.
It commissioned the R97-million Doornbosch
recovery plant, its fifth PGMs and chrome
recovery plant, in July.

Boogskiet vir
plaaslike skoleDie National Archery in Schools Program(NASP) het hierdie week by La erskool
Burgersfort n opleidingsprogram
aangebied.
NASP beywer hulle om internasionale
teikensk ietstyl boogskiet in skole te vestig.
Alle boogskietinstr ukt eurs m oet n str eng
opleidingsessie voltooi wat verseker dat
alle veiligheidsmaa trels na gekom word,
die instrukteur die sna arboog ken en kan
han teer en weet hoe om op n
konstruktiewe manier deur positiewe
taa lgebruik, kinders op te lei om die sport
te beoefen.
NASP is n inter nasionale organisa sie en
word in 8 lande vert eenwoordig. Dit sluit46 state in Amerika in.
Die program word gesien as die ideale
manier om kinders akt ief te kry, kinders
met m inder selfvertroue te help opbou en
di met houdingsprobleme deur positiewe
sportmanskap te bereik.
Kinders en die instrukt eurs het n ie
noodwendig vorige ervarin g in die s port
nodig om daaraa n te kan deelneem nie.
Die kursu s leer die individu alles van
begin tot einde.
Die program word deur die Departement
van Onder wys onderskryf en geniet ook die
steun van die Departement van Sport en
Rekreas ie. Skole word a angemoedig om die
geleentheid te gebru ik om boogskiet by
hulle te implementeer. NASP verskaf
gratis opleiding en ondersteuning aan die
skole wat lid word. Hulle h elp ook sk ole omteen n billike ta rrief die nodige toerusting
aan te koop.
Lede van die plaaslike Ja gtervereniging
het h ierdie week opleiding ontvang om
persone in skole te kan oplei as
instrukteurs. Hulle het n omvattende
praktiese en teoretiese sessie ondergaan
en sal plaaslik beskikbaar wees om skole
te ondersteun.
Woensdag is onderwysers van
verskillende sk ole in die omgewing opgelei
oor hoe hu lle die program in hul sk ole kan
vestig en laat groei.
Mnr. Wilhelm Greeff, president van NASP
in Suid Afrika wa s deel van die span wa t
opleiding gegee het .
Hy vertel da t boogskiet reeds eeue n sport
is. Wanneer seuns en dogters eers die
sukses van boogskiet ervaar het, kom baieagter dat h ulle veel meer kan vermag deur
goeie opleiding, oefening en n positiewe
houding.
Boogskiet se veiligheidsrekord is
uitmuntend. Dit is amper ongehoord dat
iemand hulself beseer of iemand anders
beseer ter wyl hulle die sport beoefen, s
hy. Stren g veiligheidsbeheer word
toegepas deur n pa ar een voudige rels en
die gebruik van n fluitjie as teken van
gevaar of veiligheid.
Ons wil gra ag soveel as moontlik skole
betrek. Skole wat lid word van NASP se
kinders kan deelneem aan die NASP
nasionale kompetisies. Deur NASP se
affiliasie met Boogskiet SA word deure vir
uitblinkers oopgemaak om ook
internasionaal te gaan deelneem.

Frustrations and suggestionsThe first week of November became a week full
of frustrations for many residents of the area.
In Burgersfort the electricity was on and off. In
some areas such as Motaganeng and Mooikloof
residents went without power for days.
The cell phone signal for all networks was alsointermittent with no signal for most of Monday
and Wednesday.
The combination of no cell phone network
coverage and electricity interruptions led to
various other problems in turn.
Bank machines in shops and express ATM
machines could not link to the banks and no card
transactions could be done on those machines.
The traffic lights did not work and this caused
heavy traffic congestion through Burgersfort.
We asked readers what they found the most
frustrating this week and what they suggest can
be done in future to help ease such frustrations.
Mr Albert Semenya said: It is a problemwith no cell phones and no power. Crimebecomes a problem then. Ive heard thatpeople dressed as the police has now forthe third time in Burgersfort robbed people.They say the man they stop is drunk butinstead of taking him to the station theytake his money and cell phone.
Mr Nico Thantsha said: The electricity.When there is no electricity the traffic isterrible. Especially from Shoprite toToyota. The traffic cops must help. Atwork we cannot assist when there is nopower.
Ms Gloria Mashego said: This week feltbad. With no electricity I could not cook. Iam a mother and weve been eating breadall week as I cannot cook porridge. I amalso studying and my exams are near. Iam struggling with the candles. With nocell phone signal I felt cut off and couldnot communicate.
Me. Charmaine Maree s: Nee, hier wordnie genoeg vir klintediens gedoen nie.Die elektrisiteit is die grootste probleem.As die krag af is kan jy nie met nbankkaart by winkels betaal nie en jy kanook nie kontant trek nie. Eskom moet hulbeloftes beter nakom.
Mr Jeffrey Mohubedu said: The cellphones was the worst. There was nocommunication with the family. Therobots that are not working is anotherproblem. The traffic controllers must bethere to help, but there was nobody. Theymust do something.
Mr Zafar Cheema and Mr Yassir Cheema are from Pakistan. Their biggest frustrationwas the lack of cell phone network coverage. The cell phones was a big problem. Allthe networks, MTN, Vodacom and Cell C. We call to Pakistan every Saturday from aCell C phone to the Hello Goodbye Network. This last Saturday we could not phonebecause there was no cell phone signal. This Saturday there was too much problems.
Mr Frank Nkoana said: Communicationis key. If you cannot communicate you
are taken out of this world, so the cellphones was a big frustration this week.The power is also important. Businessesdid not do well because of theseproblems. There must be forums wherelocal government and the communitycomes together and talk to ensure thatthis does not happen again. All thestakeholders must communicate.
Ms Dina Thobakgale said: It was bad.When you get at Shoprite and you cantbuy with a card. They must put a sign upsaying it does not work. We stood therefor two hours with a trolley full of fruitsand things and then you cant buy with acard. They must inform people.
Mnr Whity Ludick s: Dieverkeersdepartement moet op die regtetye op die regte plekke wees. Hulle kanmeer by die robot na Ohrigstad help metverkeer en minder by die brug lisensieskyk. Hulle staan net en eet en kyklisensies.
Mnr Ronnie Walster s: Die polisie. Onshet Saterdag toe die krag af was diepolisie twee keer gebel omdat iemand bydie garagesin ons area in Elephants Hillprobeer inbreek het. Die polisie het nounog nie opgedaag nie.

for better service in Bfort
Mr Christo Steenkamp s: Die trafficwasdie ergste. Dis sal werk as die traffic copsminder sit en slaap onder die bome. Byhom is JP Nortj.
Mr Daniel and Mr Tshepiso Nimro said: Taking a bath with coldwater was the worst of the week without power. There must be aback-up plan with the municipality to implement when there isno electricity for so long.
Mnr. Bennie Wheeler s: Dis n frustrasieom met n trollie vol goed voor in nwinkel te kom en dan te hoor jy kan niemet jou kaart betaal nie. Hulle moet by dieingang al s jammer kaartmasjiene werknie. Dan weet jy om kontant te kry.
Mnr. David Basjan en Mnr. Boetie Mosoma s: Dieverkeersbeamptes. Hulle wil die kaartjies betaal h maar hullewil nie werk by die robotte as die krag af is nie. Hulle moet bietjieernstig raak. Daar by Motaganeng waar ek (David) bly gaan diekrag sommer af as die wind waai. As die ren kom, dan loop diekrag weg. As dit af is werk hulle ook nie by die kliniek nie. Onshet Boetie se broer daarheen geneem want hy het in die rengegly en ek het hom toe met die bakkie getrap. Hulle kon ons niehelp nie want hulle het nie krag nie en ook nie n generator nie.Die lugtyd was n ander probleem. Alles was baie sleg hierdieweek. Eintlik wil ons net hierdie dorpie ontwikkel envooruitgang h in di mooi plek.
Left below: Mr ACNuvunga said: Therobots. There is alot of accidentswhen they dontwork. People donteven use it as a 4-way stop. Theremust be better carefrom themunicipalityregardingelectricity.Mooikloof has beenwithout electricityfrom Sunday untilnow, Wednesday.
That is why I amnow buying food.When there is noelectricity theshops also getrobbed.
Left: Mr Hendrik Nkosisaid: The electricitywas a problem. I am asupervisor and we aregoing back and forth toswitch the generator onand off. They did notinform us. They mustlet us know in timewhen there will be noelectricity. The cellphones was off. I amVodacom. It wasterrible.

Pad tussen R37 (Lydenburg-Burgersfort)
en R555 (Steelpoort) is van toepassing.
Beter bekend as die gatpad, waarmee
herstelwerk tan s besig is. Is ons as
belastingbetalers al so gekondisioneer dat
ons tog te dankbaar is dat daa r darem van
ons geldjies konstruktief gespandeer word
dat ons sekere beginsels miskyk? Is ons
dalk bang hulle onttrek die effe poging, uit
die oog dat n h alwe eier is beter as n le
dop, dat ons verby die duidelike
gebrekkige vakmanska p sal kyk?
Die van jul wat onlangs die amper 4km
wat herst el is al gebruik het, moet met my
saamst em, dit is nie op standa ard herst el
nie.
Wat my meer bekommer as die swak
vakmansk ap wat getoon word deur die
ongelyke oppervlak en strepe wat lyk of
dit deur ons skool se grondslagfase
kinders gedoen is, is die duidelike gebrek
aan die opvolgwerk van die inspekt eurs.
Die mense wat die kontrak t oegestaan
het, is mos veronderstel om op te volg
alvorens volle prestasie geskied. En moet
my nie vertel die waarde van die kontrak
is teen ha lfprys toegestaan n ie. Nou
hoekom moet ons t evrede wees om n
halfprys poging te aanvaa r?
Waar l die fout? By die insta nsie wat
swak werk lewer of by die instansie wat
dit toelaat dat swak werk gedoen word?
Ek lees in 28 Oktober se P anorama oor die
AA se reaksie teenoor die minister van
Vervoer. Alvorens die regering begin paaie
oudit moet hulle dalk eers die interne
stelsels oudit.
