Proposed disestablishment of Fetakgomo Local Municipality (LIM474)

with a view to optimising the financial viability of these municipalities in
the Sekhukhune District Municipality (DC47).
(Title of the map above right obtained from the Municipal Demarcation
Boards website)
Ms Jane Thupana, the Chairperson of the
Municipal Demarcation Board told the media
last week Friday that the borders of a number
of municipalities in the country will be redetermined after requests in this regard had been
received from the Minister of Cooperative
Governance and Traditional Affairs, Mr Pravin
Gordhan.
She said that in January, February and
April 2015, the Board received proposals
from the Minister in terms of section 22(2) of
the Municipal Demarcation Act, (Act No. 27 of
1998) requesting it to consider the re-configuration of boundaries of certain municipalities
(constituting 34 cases) before the 2016 local
elections. This was the first time a Minister
had invoked section 22(2) since the Act was

Burgersfort, Steelpoort, Ohrigstad

promulgated seventeen years ago.

The proposals followed an analysis in
terms of the governments Back to Basics
program which revealed that a number of
municipalities were not able to fulfil their
constitutional obligations. Alongside other
strategies that were said to have been put in
place to address the challenge, it was suggested in some instances that the challenges
were more structural and might be resolved
through the re-determination of boundaries;
hence the proposed re-determination of some
municipal boundaries in the Eastern Cape,
North West, KZN, Limpopo, Northern Cape,
Mpumalanga, Free State and Gauteng.
After the requests received by the Minister, the Board tested public opinion and

published section 26 notices in the media

to invite written views, representations as
well as suggestions from the public and
stakeholders. All views and representations
were analyzed and the Board could in terms
of section 27 take decisions or make re-determinations at this point. Due to various
reasons, including insufficient time available
to deal with cases that required more detailed
studies and cases that could not be linked to
the Back to Basics program, the Board decided during March 2015, not to proceed with
12 of the cases before the 2016 elections.
The Board further opted to broaden public
participation and obtaining further views and
representations through public meetings
while investigations were conducted to gather
more information.
All cases were evaluated in terms of the
demarcation objectives and criteria and the
Board decided on 23 June 2015, to determine and re-determine municipal boundaries.
In Limpopo Mutale will be disestablished
and its portions incorporated into the areas of
Thulamela and Musina municipalities.
A new municipality will be established
comprising of portions of the municipal areas
of Makhado and Thulamela municipalities.
Aganang municipality will be disestablished and its portions incorporated into the
areas of Polokwane and Blouberg municipalities.
Fetakgomo and Greater Tubatse local
municipalities will be amalgamated into
one municipal area.

Modimolle and Mookgopong local municipalities will be amalgamatedinto one municipal area. Municipalities in Limpopo will thus
be reduced by 3. The Board said that it will
publish its determination or re-determination
of the municipal boundaries in the relevant
Provincial Gazettes. The public is once more
invited, this time to submit written objections
(if any) on the determinations and re-determinations. The objections should reach the
Board within 30 days of publication of the notice in the relevant Provincial Gazette. A copy
of the notice and maps can be downloaded
from the MDB website www.demarcation.org.
za
After the 30 days objection period the
MDB will consider all objections; will either
confirm, vary or withdraw its determination;
and will publish its final decision in the relevant Provincial Gazette.
The Ward delimitation process in municipalities included in the Ministers proposal but
whose boundaries have not been re-determined, will start within the next two weeks
while ward delimitations in municipalities
whose boundaries are re-determined will
start in August 2015 (after the conclusion of
the redetermination process). Any person
aggrieved by a determination
or re-determination may submit objections
in writing to:

DWARSRIVIER MINE
Thumbs up for Dwarsriviers support
of educaon

Winter school at Ngwaabe

Educaon and the importance thereof has always
been a priority with Dwarsrivier Mine. The company has
over the years invested in upgrading facilies at schools,
building early childhood development centres, sponsoring
placement of addional teachers to assist with mathematics and science in schools surrounding the mine and now
they are supporng a Winter School for grade 12 learners in the Ngwaabe area. The learners aend the Winter
School during the July school holidays.
The Winter School started about 3 years ago as an iniave from The Mul Instute. This is a non-profit organisaon formed by teachers and student teachers originally
from the Ngwaabe area. This is their way of giving back
to their communies and showing that you can fly higher than your circumstances in school. We were learners
at these schools and we want to show these learners that
it is possible to rise above your circumstances and make
something of yourself with hard work, said the Program
Manager, Bernard Maimela and the coordinator Kgotso Matenchi. The tutors are Jim Mashilangwako, Khotso Moshidi, Prisca Mohlala, Kgaogelo Makaba, Bernard

Maimela, Kgantsho Mantshi and Kgotso Matenchi. They are

using the school buildings of Ngwanangwatu Secondary School
and Mr B.M. Masha is keeping an eye on everything from the
schools side.
The Mul Instute approached Dwarsrivier Mine for assistance and the Mine is now supplying transport and catering for
the learners, as well as the spends of the volunteers teaching the learners. The learners are from Makgwale Secondary
School, Ngwaabe Comprehensive School, Shorwane High
School, Ngwanangwato Secondary School, Mashego Secondary School and Sengange Secondary School. Approximately
100 learners signed up to parcipate in the Winter School.
The learners are geng extra classes in mathemacs, science and commercial subjects. Special aenon is given to
common problems and the aim is to empower those with the
ability to achieve disncons, but also provide the support for
those with the ability to just pass.
The learners and The Mul Instute gave Dwarsrivier Mine a
huge thumbs up for the assistance they received.

Dismissed
This week Ms Rachel Molepo-Modipa,
Limpopo Director General was dismissed
after she was found guilty on allegations of
misconduct.
She was initially suspended on 28 October 2013.
At the time the province had been pushed
to the verge of collapse with a deficit of more
than R2 thousand million (billion).
She remained in her position after former
premier Cassel Mathale was replaced by
his successor Stan Mathabatha. At the time
of her suspension details of the charges
against her were kept under wraps. She
was not alone in her suspension. 88 other
officials also received letters calling them for
a hearing.

The South African Revenue Service,

the Hawks and the Department of Public
Service and Administration combed through
the provinces departments and 302 cases
of maladministration and corruption were
investigated.
Molepo-Modipa was under fire before her
suspension when she was accused of not
fully coorperating with administrators in the
provinces five departments which were place
under administration.
The Provincial Government in a statement this week said that no amount of
corruption or suspicion of the same shall
be tolerated in the administration. Cases
involving HODs are still continuing and are
expected to be concluded soon.

No rest
It may be school holidays but
for most matric learners there is
no rest.
Many schools offer additional
classes during the school holidays to help them prepare for
their final examination.

What do you think about the proposed exit certificate?

The National Senior Certificate (NSC)
ministerial task team is currently working on
proposals for a new school leaving certificate
fro Grade 9 pupils.
The Department is aiming to reduce the
number of learners who drop out of school
before reaching matric. According to the
departments Elijah Mhlanga the proposed
certificate is intended to help learners who
do not want to follow the academic route
in school. The idea is that these learners
further their education in Technical Vocational
Education and Training (TVET) trade and
artisan skills.
The exit certificate is designed to encourage and not discourage learners who do not
desire to follow the academic route to alternatively take a technical or vocational route,
which will direct them to job-specific careers,
he said. Mhlanga explained that learners
with then new exit certificate would be able to
follow careers in becoming plumbers or chefs
and this could drive the economy and create
employment. Answering questions about the
dropout rate at TVET institutions Mhlanga
said: Drop-outs happen everywhere, not
everyone who runs the Comrades Marathon
finishes it. We know that this is going to happen, but we will deal with it.
Industry and Commerce organisations
reacted by saying that it will be important to
make sure that learners who will opt for the
exit certificate go to TVET Colleges and get
further technical training. They also emphasized that it is important to ensure that
these learners do not simply drop out of the
colleges as well.
Dumile Cele from the Durban Chamber
of Commerce and Industries said: Their
employability will be at stake as there are
minimal avenues they can follow in life with
only the exit certificate. There are countries
that make use of an exit certificate before the
final matric year. The UK has the Ordinary
Level Certificate (close to Grade 10 or 11),
while Finland has the Grade 9 exit certificate.
This is to say that such a plan, if executed
well, could benefit the student. But, if not
planned carefully, it will lead to the unemployability of almost half a generation and cripple
the economy. Fears of learners ability to
make mature and informed decisions about
their future at 14 or 15 years old has also
been raised.
The Institute for Race Relations said only
about half of children enrolling in Grade 1 will
ever sit in a matric class. The Institute estimates that out of every 10 children enrolling
in school 5 will reach matric, three of those
are expected to pass with at most only one
of them passing mathematics with 50% or
more.

In 2014 approximately 680 000 pupils

sat down to write their matric examinations.
These were the only ones left of about 1.2
million who started school in 2003.
A date for the rollout of the new certificate has not been announced yet. Platinum
Gazette asked readers what they think of the
proposed exit certificate for Grade 9 learners.

Mr. Brian Kekana and Mr Prince Mpuru said: It is bad. Matric is at

a time when someone is more mature and able to think as an adult.
Matrics of the past were more mature and understanding of situations
while today they dont have that level of understanding and intelligence. The overall level of education these days are lower.

Mr. Elliot Moela said: It is a bad thing. It is not even an achievement

to reach Grade 9. You cannot give someone who is basically dropping out of school a certificate. They will have limited opportunities
to further their education and careers. With him are Ms. Kholofelo
Moela and Mogau.
Right: Ms. Zelda
Moela and Ms. Ilvia
Fredericks said:

to go up to matric.
The kids are not
dumb, they just need
good teachers and
they should not be

benchmark. The learners will not be motivated to reach matric if they

get an exit certificate in Grade 9. We wont employ someone who
only have that certificate.
Mr. Themba

9 the learners
will not push for
more. Theyll
think it is an

will be bad for

economy. We complain that there are not enough professionals and
now we issue them a certificate in Grade 9? It will not solve the problem. Mentally kids are also not ready at that age to step into further
studies even in a technical direction.
Right: Mr. S.W. Makuwa
said: It will be good.
Most of these learners
who will get this certificate will not be able to
pass matric with Mathematics and Science.

through which they want to bring back the times when our grannies
did not get properly schooled and left in standard 5.
Mr. Sebusheng Thobejane said: I dont think it is a good
idea. Well drop the overall motivation and standard of
education. Now we will actually say to learners to aim
low. Where are they going to fall? We are now not setting
them up for proper qualifications. How will you differentiate between good and bad if this is the standard?

Right: Ms.
Sharon
Mathabatha
said: They
should finish
matric. Matric
is number 1.
They dont
only get an
education
up to matric,
but they also
develop their
maturity. I
dont think they should get a certificate in
Grade 9. With her are Moloto and Nape.

Ms. Fatima Noor said: I think it is bad. It

does not encourage them to try and go up to
matric. They can leave at an early age and
still get a certificate. They are not motivated
enough as it is. Giving them a certificate in
Grade 9 will provide them with an easy way
out.

Right: Mr. Mbeusuma Mabaso said: It is not a good thing. It will take away the level of education we are aiming for in the country. It is unacceptable. It brings shame to our government
to even bring such suggestions to the table. It does not make sense. We did not intent our
democracy to have such things.

Wildevy 4x4 Gesinsdag

om die draai
Die Wildevy 4x4 Gesinsdag is om die draai.
Om 25 Julie 2015 gaan die stof staan soos
daar op die baan by PLM Boerdery (op R37
na Lydenburg) meegeding word.
Hierdie week het die verskillende puntborge hul plekke op die baan vasgemaak
en groot pret word oral beplan. Die Wildevy
Manne werk hard om te sorg dat alles 100%
reg sal wees vir die aksie. Ons wil sommer
reeds Samancor ECM, Modikwa Platinum
Myn en Dwarsrivier Myn bedank vir hul
bydraes tot die dag. Sonder ons borge is
dit nie moontlik om so n dag te rel nie, s
die Manne. Dit is goed om te weet daar is
groot maatskappye soos hulle wat sake soos
hierdie ondersteun. Die ander borge word
nie agterwe gelaat nie, maar is ongelukkig
te veel om in een asem te noem.
n Paar opwindende dinge is aan die
ontwikkel rondom die dag. 4x4 Entoesiaste
wat nie n plek tussen die 120 voertuie op die
baan kon kry nie, of wat vir n groter uitdaging kans sien, kan hierdie jaar die Morone
Berg Roete aandurf. Daar is beperkte spasie
(20 voertuie) en voertuie moet toegerus wees
met lae strek (low range). Die roete gaan
vanaf Khumula Game Lodge op die Steelpoort pad oor die Morone Berge tot by PLM
Boerdery. Tydens hierdie rit sal daar verskillende veld en wild identifiseringsaktiwiteite
plaasvind. Inskrywings is R1000 per voertuig.
Deelnemers sal mekaar 07:00 die oggend by
Khumula Game Lodge kry waar daar koffie
en beskuit bedien sal word. n Ete word ook
tydens die rit op die berg bedien.
Al word daar heerlik in die modder en
stof deelgeneem, word die rugby nie vergeet
nie. Die wedstryd tussen die Springbokke en
Nieu-Seeland sal op n groot skerm uitgesaai
word sodat niemand enige aksie hoef te mis
nie.
Die dag bied weer soos altyd iets vir
almal. Die publiek is welkom om te kom kyk
hoe die deelnemers op die baan vaar. Daar
sal weer n gratis trekker-en-wa vervoersisteem wees wat toeskouers tussen punte
sal vervoer. n Spesiale kindervermaakarea

sal die kleingoed besig hou terwyl hul ouers

die aksie elders ervaar. Helikopter ritte en
karnavalritte is van die dinge wat beskikbaar
sal wees.
Stalletjies wat enige ding van kos, vlooimark-items tot besighede in die area bekendstel sal sorg vir nog iets ekstra op die dag.
Die kunstenaars Hans Drommedaris,
Henri Alant en Charn Grabe sal vir die
musiek en ander vermaak sorg.
Die Wildevy & Bison Falls Spur Mountain Bike Race (MTB) vind ook die oggend
plaas. Die begin en eindpunte is by die PLM
Boskamp op die grondpad na Morone Sitrus
se pakstoor.
Daar is verskillende afstande sodat almal,
ongeag hul fiksheidsgraad of ouderdom kan
deelneem. Kies tussen afstande wat wissel
tussen 50km tot 2,5km. Fietsryers wat vir
die pret kom deelneem sal tydelike lisensies
vir die dag by die inskrywingspunt voor die
wedren kan koop. Fietsryers kry ook gratis
toegang tot die Wildevy 4x4 Dag. Daar kan
voor die tyd ingeskryf word, maar ook op die
oggend voor die wedren.
Die fondse wat elke jaar met die Wildevy
4x4 Gesinsdag ingesamel word, word aangewend vir verskillende liefdadigheidsprojekte.
Daarom word die publiek aangemoedig om
die inisiatief te ondersteun.
Jaarliks besoek ongeveer 7000 mense
die baan op hierdie dag. Daarom is dit die
ideale geleentheid om n stalletjie vir jou
besigheid, diens of produkte te kry. Kom
verkoop of bemark jou produkte en kry die
blootstelling wat jy graag wil h.
Daar sal geen koelhouers of 4-wiel motorfietse (quads) by die dag toegelaat word
nie. Daar is n kontant-kroeg beskikbaar en
genoeg stalletjies wat kos gaan verkoop om
te sorg dat niemand honger of dors hoef te
wees nie.
Vir enige navrae oor inskrywings vir die
baan, die Morone Berg Roete of stalletjies vir
die dag, kontak 013 231 7498.
Maak seker dat jy nie die aksie van 2015
misloop nie!

Bogus Training Centres offering short courses on DTT set-top box

installation are getting more and more.
The Minister of Communications, Ms. Faith Muthambi, this week
warned the public about such bogus training centres.
In the last few weeks the Department of Communication has
been inundated with calls from people wanting to verify the legality of
these institutions.
I call on people to refrain from attending courses offered by these
institutions. These centres are operating illegally and have no accreditation. As the department we are yet to make an official announcement on which centres will be accredited to offer such courses, she
said.
The Department of Communications is working closely with
the Department of Labour to design an accredited course for DTT
installers. Once the course content is finalised, the Department of
Communications will communicate through various community and
mainstream media about where interested individuals can undertake
such training.
While the process of migrating from analogue to digital television
presents economic opportunity for South Africans, people must be
vigilant and avaoid being robbed of their hard-earned money.

Casual Day: where does the money go?

Last year Casual Day was celebrated by over
R2.5 million people who donated via a R10
sticker, to persons with disabilities. All in all
R28 million was raised. People who bought
their stickers from any one of the 300 participating organisations and schools can rest
assured that the money they donated went to
sustain these organisations, providing education, shelter, assistive devices, transport and
accommodation to the persons with disabilities in their care.
All the organsations that participate in
Casual Day are appropriately registered entities with their governance in place. People
who buy their stickers at retail outlets often
wonder where the money goes. The funds
are distributed amongst Casual Days 12
national beneficiary organisations who cover
the entire spectrum of persons with disabilities. Sponsored by the Edcon Group, Casual
Day is on Friday 4 September 2015.
The theme for 2015 is Spring into Action
so take your inspiration from the birds and
the bees, the skies of blue, the colours of the
rainbow, the blossoms on the trees and the
minty hue of new leaves. Our colour for the
year is refreshing, zingy mint.
The project is owned and managed on
behalf of the national beneficiaries by the
National Council for Persons with Physical
Disabilities in SA (NCPPDSA).
The South African National Council for the
Blind (SANCB) has its head office in Pretoria
and acts as a coordinating body for many
organisations providing services to persons
with visual impairment. The South African
Federation for Mental Health (SAFMH) has
as its main goal the development of equal,
caring services for people having difficulty
coping with everyday life, and those with
intellectual and/or psychiatric disability.
QuadPara Association of South Africa
(QASA) strives to prevent spinal cord injury,

Casual Day ambassadors Terry Ann Adams

and Bernadette Rigney.

as well as protect and promote the interests of people with mobility impairments by
formulating a national policy and strategy,
to develop and ensure the full potential and
quality of their lives.
Autism South Africa (ASA) lobbies for
awareness around Autism, which is a lifelong,
complex condition that occurs as a result
of disordered brain growth, structure and
development.
Down Syndrome South Africa (DSSA) is
committed to finding ways to improve the
quality of life of all persons with Down syndrome and other Intellectual disabilities, promoting the idea that they have the right to live
with independence, dignity and security as
valued adults and full citizens in our society.
It endeavours to empower families through
dissemination of information, encourages
research in the fields of early intervention,
education, medical aspects and employment.
National Association for Persons with
Cerebral Palsy South Africa (NAPCP) aims to
promote the medical, educational, vocational
and social services and facilities for persons
with cerebral palsy to achieve independence.
South African National Deaf Association
(SANDA) is dedicated to providing quality
services, ensuring public accessibility and
increasing awareness of issues affecting deaf
people at all levels in South Africa.
Alzheimers South Africa is another beneficiary. Deaf Federation of South Africa (DeafSA) co-ordinates and facilitate the process of
providing all kinds of services for the purpose
of integrating one million Deaf South Africans
into mainstream society.
pages/DeafSA
The South African Disability Alliance
(SADA) is committed to assisting business
in understanding disability and incorporating
people with disabilities in opportunities, facilities and activities. SADA represents a constituency of approximately 8% of the countrys
population and also the demographics thereof. Your R10 in Action will highlight where
the Casual Day money is spent. The national
beneficiaries of Casual Day, through their
affiliates and branches all over South Africa,
provide services to persons with disabilities.
Casual Day is a way for the disability sector to speak with one voice about ushering in
a society that values human rights, inclusion,
diversity and universal access to education
for all its citizens.
Stickers are available from:
Edgars, Jet, JetMart, Boardmans, CNA, Red
Square and Legit; Absa outlets; Game and
DionWired stores; Shoprite and Checkers
stores; and And the Casual Day website.

Kankervereniging reeds besig

met Mandela Dag aktiwiteite
Die Kankervereniging van Suid Afrika
(Kansa) is reeds vanaf 7 Julie besig met spesiale dienslewering aan
kankeroorwinnaars en kankerpasinte.
Vrywilligers van 30 Kansa Sorgsentra
regoor die land het openbare hospitale, klinieke of behandelingsentrums
besoek om aanmoediging en ondersteuning te bied.
Madiba, wat n kankeroorwinnaar
van prostaatkanker was, inspireer ons
om vir 67 minute uit te reik na mense
in ons gemeenskappe om so hulde te
bring aan die wyse waarop Madiba 67
jaar van sy lewe gewy het om ander te
dien, s Elize Joubert, Waarnemende
Hoof Uitvoerende Beampte van kansa.
Dit is so belangrik vir alle mense wat
deur kanker geraak word om te weet
dat Kansa se personeeel en vriende
omgee, voeg sy by. Madiba het as
voorbeeld vir ons nasie gedien en as
n organisasie wil ons graag voortgaan
om aan sy versoek te voldoen om
uit te reik na ander in ons daaglikse
aktiwiteite en veral jaarliks wanneer sy
verjaarsdag ons opnuut aan hom laat
dink.
Tydens Kansa se besoeke aan
kankerpasinte wil Kansa se personeel
graag vir elke kankeroorwinnaar n
spesiale Kansa boekmerk met n inspirerende aanhaling van Madiba gee.
Die boekmerk sal ook inligting verskaf
oor Kansa se sorg-en ondertseuningsprogramme wat vir kankerpasinte
aangebied word.
Kansa bied sorg en ondersteuning
aan kankerpasinte op verskillende
maniere. Van die diense wat aangebied word is die Kansa Sorgtuistes,
n tolvrye nommer, n KankerSorg
Hanteringsgids, individuale en
groep-berading, sowel as ondersteuningsgroepe. Dit alles bied n veilige
omgewing en manier waarop oor-

winners met mekaar in aanraking kan

kom.Joubert voeg by: Ons moedig alle
mense aan om hul 67 Madiba minute
van dienslewering aan ander aan te bied
by KANSA se Sorgsentra en Sorgtuistes
landwyd deur een van ons baie wense
op ons wenslysie waar te maak. Dit sluit
onder andere die volgende in: om n
vertrek waar vrywilligers bymekaar kom
en waar vergaderings ter ondersteuning
van ons pasinte plaasvind, te verf en
op te knap; vra vir donasies wat gebruik
kan word vir kanker siftingstoetse, verbruiksgoedere, kospakkies vir kinders en
gesinne wat die stryd teen kanker voer
of help om n oprit te bou vir pasinte
in rystoele. Een van ons kombuise by
n KANSA Sorgtuiste het dringend verf
nodig en mense wat kan help om die
kombuis te verf. Vir n volledige lys,
besoek http://www.cansa.org.za/cansas-care-support/cansas-mandela-daywish-list/.
Vir meer inligting oor Mandela Dag
of om te sien hoe jy betrokke kan raak,
