Warning against
initiation
malpractices
The Police in Limpopo have issued a stern
warning to surgeons who will either try their
luck or take chances and stage initiation
schools without proper documentation this
winter.
The Police say year after year innocent
boys lose their lives as a result of circumcision that went horribly wrong due to incompetency of unregistered surgeons and Police
will have none of such this season. Every
year, reports are also received of young boys
or men who are kidnapped and taken to
initiation schools against their will.
A provincial joint priority committee
comprising of the SAPS and the departments
of Health, Co-Operative Governance, Human
Settlements and Traditional Affairs (CoGHSTA) and other strategic stakeholders has
been established to oversee and monitor the
smooth running of the schools and curb any
unbecoming and criminal behaviour. Parents are urged to verify the legitimacy of the
Initiation School with their local Traditional
Authorities before sending their children.
Police will also not tolerate the abduction
of boys into these initiation schools in the
disguise of culture and tradition. Those found
to be forcefully dragging innocent boys to circumcision will face the wrath of the law and
Police will be on the lookout for that.
The Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant
General Fanie Masemola, says the Police
will work hand and glove with all relevant
stakeholders to ensure that no casualties
are reported in Limpopo Province. Even
those approved Initiation Schools will not be
spared from unannounced visits and inspections. No boys under the age of 12 must be
admitted at these schools and we will be out
to guard against that as well. Those who fail
to comply will have the Police to deal with,
Masemola warned.
He further urged parents and family
members of young boys or men who are
kidnapped and taken to initiation schools
against their will, to report such cases to the
Police immediately without fail. It is important that such cases be reported to the Police
immediately for us to respond swiftly and rescue these individuals before they are harmed
and traumatised, he stressed.

Limpopo Department
of Health reponds
Following Platinum Gazettes article on the parking behaviour of one of the Departments
vehicles in Burgersfort (A doctor with parking problems - page 3 26 June 2015), the following response has been received from the Department:
Letter:
The new access bridge over the river in Mokutung village adjacent to Echo Caves
is now completed. In the past a dificult road had to be traversed through the river
ravine and in the rainy season the two parts of the village became cut off from each
other.
Setting an example?
I have recently moved back to the Burgersfort area after 4 years away from the town,
and I must say that I am impressed with the developments here of such things as the
new malls etc.
However, every day I drive to work at around 05:00 and pass our Shining Golden tower commonly known as the Municipal building. Each morning I see every
single window blazing with beautiful golden yellow light. Whilst this looks awesome I
ask myself what are the Municipality doing to assist the country with the shortage of
electricity and power saving? This not only sets a very poor example to every resident
of Burgersfort it also adds to the frustration of load shedding issues that we all have
to put up with.
In this day and age of technology it is not difficult to install a system in a building
that will automatically switch off the lights in the unused offices, and I am sure that
the savings generated from this would pay for the installation over and over again.
Not only would this contribute to the electrical grid I am sure the finances saved could
then be steered towards repairing the traffic lights in the town that never appear to
work (but that is a moan for another day).

Dwarsrivier: definite
agreements concluded
Assore has advised shareholders that it has now concluded definitive agreements
with Africa Rainbow Minerals (ARM) in respect of an in-principle agreement to buy
ARMs 50 percent indirect interest in the mine.
Dwarsrivier is presently owned and operated by Assmang Proprietary Limited
(Assmang), the equal joint venture between Assore and ARM. The ore produced
is sold both on the export market and locally. Assmang will sell Dwarsrivier to
K2011105280 Proprietary Limited, a special purpose company (Dwarsrivier SPV)
in which Assore will, pursuant to the completion of the transaction, own the entire
issued share capital.
The completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including
the approval by the Minister of Mineral Resources.
Assore told shareholders that the company holds the view that the long-term
fundamentals for the chrome ore market support an investment into the commodity. Having participated in the ownership of Dwarsrivier, through Assmang, Assore
believes that the transaction offers it an opportunity to make such an investment into
a world-class operation, and to expand its own chrome capacity.
The parties to the transaction have agreed a retrospective effective date of 1
July 2014. Assore will pay the purchase consideration of R450 million in cash. To
secure this payment obligation, Assore will deposit the purchase consideration into
an interest-bearing escrow account ultimately payable to ARM.
Assore has also agreed to refund any investments made in Dwarsrivier between
1 July 2014 and the completion of the transaction, which are supported by Assore,
up to a maximum amount of R800 million. In addition, any cash profits earned by
Dwarsrivier between these two dates will be transferred to Dwarsrivier SPV as part
of the transaction.
On 22 April 2015, the Competition Tribunal of South Africa approved the implementation of the transaction in accordance with the Competition Act, 1998. Assmang
will continue to manage Dwarsrivier until the transaction is completed and have
mandated a committee comprising experienced employees of Assore and ARM in
this regard.
Following the implementation of the transaction, Dwarsrivier will become a subsidiary of Assore.
