Platinum company Nkwe Platinum Limited
(listed on the Australian stock exchange)
has announced the completion of the $20
million convertible bond transaction with Jin
Jiang Mining Limited (a wholly owned
subsidiary of Zijin Mining Group Limited).
Executive Director, Mr Peter Landau,
said Nkwe has formed a strategic
partnership with Jin Jiang to further develop
Nkwes South African PGM Assets, in
particular the flagship Garatau Mining
Project near Burgersfort.
Developments around this project has
been extremely slow during the past year
or two.
As part of this partnership, Jin Jiang
invested $20 million in Nkwe through a
placement of 3 year convertible bonds.
Following issue of the Convertible
Bonds, and as previously announced on 7
March 2014, Nkwe and Jin Jiang agreed to
an immediate conversion of the $20m
Bonds and the company has issued Jin
Jiang 202,576,000 shares (Conversion
Shares) in satisfaction for conversion of all
of the Bonds.
The conversion means Nkwe has
expedited the previous debt to equity
timelines with Jin Jiang and provides Nkwe
with a strong balance sheet as it moves
into the key project development phase.
As part of the strategic partnership with
Zijin and with effect from completion, Mr
Abraham Li has been appointed as
Managing Director and Mr Robin Wang
has been appointed as a non executive
director of Nkwe. Mr Sharif Pandor has
been appointed as non executive
Chairman of Nkwe. Mr Maredi Mphahlele
will remain as an executive director of the
company.
Zijin Mining Group Co. Ltd is one of
Chinas leading Mining Groups registered
in China, with its head office in Shanghang
County, Fujian province.
Commenting on the strategic
partnership with Zijin, Nkwe Platinum
Limited Chairman, Sharif Pandor, said
The Strategic Partnership with Zijin will
allow Nkwe to fulfill its key goal of
developing its world class PGM assets,
and in particular the Garatau PGM Project,
and becoming a significant producer of
platinum group metals.
Zijin are one of Chinas leading major
mining houses who see Nkwes PGM
assets as a key focus as they look at the
expansion of their overseas mining
operations.
We are extremely excited to have a
partner as significant and financially and
operationally capable as Zijin working with
us on the development of our world class
PGM assets.

On Wednesday this week Mr Chupu
Standley Mathabatha was elected as the
premier of the Limpopo provincial
government.
It is approximately 9 months since Mr
Mathabatha was sworn in as premier of the
province. After the 7 May elections his
mandate was renewed.
Upon the acceptance of his position he
thanked the ANC for their trust and
confidence. Your confidence in me has
placed on my shoulders and those of other
deployees a necessary burden to work
diligently and tirelessly to change the lives of
our people for the better, he said.
He acknowledged the challenges in service
delivery saying: We dare not fail. We are
called upon to work together to ensure that
we create job opportunities for the jobless;
that we accelerate the provision of houses for
the homeless, above all, deliver water and
electricity to the most needy in the vast
farmlands and far-flung villages of Limpopo.
Underpinning our electoral mandat is also a
responsibility to ensure the empowerment of
young people through quality education and
training.
He told the legislature that today 87% of
households in the province are electrified and
86% of households have access to water.
The province is caring for 96% of learners
that are on the School Nutrition Programme
and that the pass rate of 71% is something
on which to build.
Where to now?
The entrance to the police station in Ohrigstad is under construction. Platinum Gazette
took this photograph last week when the newspapers delivery person ventured inside to
drop off the stations newspapers. Being reprimanded by the contractors for walking
through their construction site we were quick to ask about a notice where one should go
as there is no indication of an alternative entrance and no warning to stay away from the
entrance to the Community Service Centre. The answers from the contractor was not in
family friendly language, but for those not visiting the station regularly we could establish
that an alternative entrance is available at the back of the Community Service Centre
building.
If you are a rehabilitated addict or still
recovering from addiction (drugs, alcohol,
pornography, prescri pti on medi ci ne,
smoking etc) local aftercare and support is
now at hand.
This week, the Xtreme Buddies Christian
Support and Aftercare Mi ni stry for
Steelpoort/Burgersfort was launched in
Steelpoort in association with Regeneration
House from Emalahleni (Witbank).
Tienie van Wyngaard of the Apostolic Faith
Mission Church in Steelpoort, who heads the
local initiative told the newspaper that a large
number of people go for rehabilitation
elsewhere in the country, but when they
return home, their environment, friends and
triggers for their addiction are still the same
and can pose a problem if someone wants
to remain clean.
As a result, if the triggers prove to be too
strong and if circumstances around a former
Xtreme buddies
now local
addicts life do not change, they relapse and it
i s then very di ffi cul t to go agai n for
rehabilitation.
In this regard the new initiative will strive to be
a support base for former addicts who find it
difficult to resist urges to relapse and give in
to their addiction again.
He said people who need support should
already be rehabilitated as the group will not
rehabilitate existing addicts.
The Xtreme Buddies group will support former
addicts with Biblical therapy/counselling, drug
information, parent support, arrange for
admission at long term Biblical therapy
centres, support addict during their long term
programme and aftercare outsi de the
programme regarding how to start over and
important life skills.
People who need to contact the group can
contact Tienie van Wyngaard at 087 808 5604
or 079 836 8719.
He stressed the importance of creating
conditions that are conducive for business to
thrive and help the people of Limpopo to
participate in the countrys mainstream
economy.
We commit ourselves to jealously guard
against any tendency that seeks to reverse
the gains of the past twenty years of freedom
and democracy. At the core of these
tendencies are crime and corruption. We
therefore implore on all of you to join us in
our renewed efforts to fight corruption.
Corruption is not only a government problem,
it is a societal problem that require all of us to
play our role, be it the ruling party,
opposition, business, organised business
and members of the public. On our part as
government we will definitely not tolerate
people who use state resources for personal
enrichment.
Calling on all parties and individuals involved
in the province administration to work united
to create a better tomorrow he concluded his
acceptance speech with the following
message: We are recommitting the new
administration to the building of an inclusive
economy that create jobs and prioritise rural
development. In keeping with our
commitment to accessible primary health
care to all and quality education, the
provision of adequate human capital and the
improvement of infrastructure in our schools
and health facilities, will be high on the
agenda of this administration.
Mathabatha warns that
corruption will not be tolerated
in Limpopo administration
The Limpopo Youth Chamber of
Commerce and Industries has been
officially launched following a successful
provincial conference held on the 15-16
May 2014 in Polokwane. The inaugural
conference was attended by young
entrepreneurs from all districts in the
province.
The chamber was also delighted by the
overwhelming pledge made by various
stakeholders to support the small and
medium sized enterprises owned by young
people in the province.
We also welcome the effortsof the
Honorable MEC Seaparo Sekwati by
establishing a youth fund for young
entrepreneurs that seeks to incubate and
support the emerging enterprises. We

the economic landscape in the province.

the following sectors: mainly energy,
mining, agribusiness, tourism and
manufacturing.

also selected. They are: Provincial
President: Wesley Maringa; First Deputy

Looking for something as tough as nails to carry a load?
The Isuzu KB 250 standard 4x2 or Fleetside (the one with larger wheels and tyres and
manual air conditioner) may be the answer to your dreams.
The newspaper took the standard derivative from Westvaal Steelpoort for a spin this
week, and although this bakkie is bare bones, we were still mightily impressed.
Spin is maybe not the right word as the trusted diesel engine does not have a turbo,
meaning you may have more time to take in the environment as the vehicle gets up to
speed. 58 kW may not be much, but felt strangely very adequate. Torque also kicks in low,
170 Nm is available at 1800 revolutions.
The bakkie is large for all sorts of work, whether you are a contractor, small
businessman, farmer or an ordinary guy living in a village who wants to transport all sorts of
stuff, including chickens, other animals or a crop of cabbage. The vehicle certainly gave the
impression it will last.
Not a sports car and it will certainly be an irritation on a steep mountain pass (not for
you, but for the stronger, faster other guys behind you). You will irritate them in comfort as
the bakkie rides extremely well on tar and on gravel, even without a load. But you should
also be careful. The bakkie is fitted with side protection bars. Thats it.
No alarm, no immobiliser, no central locking, no ABS, EBD or any other abbreviated
gizmo to save you if you make a mistake and no airbags (and no funny fault codes on the
dash). You should also be very content with you or your partners company or voice.
Infotainment in the vehicle will consist of exactly that if you do not fit your own.
No playing around then, and what is left in the cabin is easy to master. The essential
stuff we all learned about in the K53 and before that.
There are bottle holders in the doors (going to need them in the non air con model).
The seating arrangement is good. The drivers seat adjusts for rake and reach
independently from the small bench next to it. The small bench has two safety belts, a three
point one for the main passenger on the left and a lap belt for the incidental (preferably
smaller) passenger that can squeeze into the middle.
What was clear from our trip is that General Motors South Africa did not fuzz around or
changed specs just for the sake of changing. They did not break what is not broken. This
Isuzu bakkie is exactly what it is meant to be. Tough, reliable and unbreakable, and if you
are older than a certain age it will almost certainly outlive you and your business if you look
after it. We want one, we have a ton to move (preferable the one with the air conditioner).
You can get yours from Westvaal Steelpoort for R204 000 (standard) or R221 000
(Fleetside).

Mr Gift Kgwedi said: That is unfortunate.
We are moving backwards. It seems only
the men score points and they forgot all their
promises about equality. They are doing a
man on man.
Ms Avashoni Tshilande, Ms Lehlogonolo Makatelele and Ms Irene Phala said: They must
add more women to the rank of premier. It cant be just one from the ANC. Women also
have a say we also vote! Let the women lead, it cant always be men. Let it be 50/50.
Women are also strong. Basadi we have the power!
Left: Mr Frans
Manyaka said:
There is a good
reason to rather
appoint men. The
men are stronger at

Mr Ally Kobo and Mr Kenneth Masemola said: They must be
balanced. They must get more female premiers. speakers are not
premiers. It is as if they are giving the speaker positions to the
women as a consolation prize.
Mr Vincent Serage and Mr Bafana Mkhawane said: They must
empower women. They should have gone 50/50. Now Zille is
empowering women, but the ANC is not doing the same. It seems
there is nothing we can do as Zuma has been elected as the
President again.
Me. Magda Pienaar en Mnr. Kobus Pienaar s: Hulle moet net
iemand kies wat die werk kan doen. As dit mans is wat dit kan doen
fine. As dit vrouens is wat dit kan doen fine. Vergeet van kwotas
en kry mense wat die werk kan doen!
Mr Ananias Chauke said: It depends on the
way people are voting. It also depends on
the President who he wants at that
moment. The names are submitted and one
gets chosen. It depends on who has the
favour of the President at that moment,
irrespective of gender.
As politicians were sworn in at Parliament this
week the Commission for Gender Equality
(CGE) vented their disappointment with the
number of women appointed by the ANC to
serve as premiers in the 8 provinces the party
won. Only Sylvia Lucas in the Northern Cape
will bring a female presence to this level of
government within the ANC. The ANC has
committed to appoint female speakers in the
provinces with male premiers. In 2009 the ANC
appointed 4 female premiers. The CGE called
on the ANC to reconsider the appointments.

Mr David Mokoailane said: To me it is not
good. They must be 50/50. They are paid
the same when they occupy the same
position and do the same work for that
money. Second in charge as the speaker
does not make up for losing out on the
premier position.
Mr Doctor Masinga said: They are right to
appoint only one woman. The women did
not do enough the last time they were
appointed. That is why their numbers were
reduced.
Mr Steve Mosoma said: Women are not strong enough to face the men. Especially if there
are problems. They are intimidated by people like Julius Malema. They are not strong
enough to stand up for what must be done. Mr Lawrence Kgoete said: Women are not
stronger than men. It is the right thing to appoint them as speakers.
Mnr. Pierre Venter s: Dis n stappie
agteruit. Van 4 na 1 is negatief. Die
speakers maak nie op vir die min premiers
nie.
Ms Surprise Moropane said: They must
have more women premiers. They
undermine our rights. They must not give
them second in charge positions. We must
all be equal.
Mr Isaac Mohlabane and Mr Gadson
Komane said: It depends on the active
participation of women in political activities.
It is not a step backward. We are now
looking at people who are active. We cannot
chose randomly just for the sake of
equality. With them is Mpho.
Mr Abram Phako said: They must be 50/50.
They should have been fair. Women have
the qualities to do the job. The premier and
the speaker are not the same. The speaker
reports to the premier. With him are Hope
and Penelope.
Mr Mpho Talane said: There is no difference
as long as the right people are appointed. As
long as they can deliver to us. It can be any
gender as long as they are suitable for the
position. These things of gender and colour
are holding us back. If he or she is good, put
them there, irrespective of their colour or
gender.

Verlede week Saterdag het Electro Diesel hul
eerste gholfdag aangebied. Die nuwe Halfway
House wat hulle geborg het, is ook amptelik
ingewy. Daar was natuurlik ook genoeg te een en
drink tussen die gholf deur.
Die uitslae was soos volg: 1ste - Stefan Greeff en
Rick Louwrens; 2de - Martin van Rooyen en
Embrich Cilliers; 3de - Izelle van Staden en
Nadine Fourie.
Die dag is afgesluit met Maroelaboom wat by
Tubatse Klub kom sing het. Toegang was gratis
en almal het lekker saam gekuier.
