Like any self-respecting town in South Africa nowadays, Burgersfort is not staying behind.
Also not with service delivery protests. This group of residents from Riba Cross came to
town on Wednesday this week to protests the state of the village roads as well as the almost undriveable road to Ga-Riba on top of the mountain. Despite their smiles, they were
not very polite and the newspapers reporter left quickly.

The theme of the event was Stop
protecting the culprits who abuse
people with special needs.
The team at the event included officers from the Burgersfort
SAPS, CPF, VEP, YOUTH CPF,
WAC and PAC. The group tried to
show children at the school love,
to make them realize that the
police officers are their friends and
they must be feel free to report anything. Sometimes families protect
the culprits who abuse people with
special needs.

Tubatse Disability Desk was the
guest speaker of the day. The
station commander, Ltn. Colonel Kgwedi, handed gifts to the
principal of Rehlahleng. Const.

Tender crook
trapped

The Sekhukhune District Municipality in Limpopo Province has opened a case of fraud at the Polokwane Police Station on 10 March 2016.
This follows the successful trapping of a fraudster who used a forged appointment letter of the municipality to try
a solicit a bribe of R12 million in return for an allocation of a R305 million water reticulation project from a civil and
construction company.
By the time of his arrest, the fraudster was on a mission to receive an initial payment of R500 000 from the unsuspecting representatives of the construction company, scheduled to be handed over in Polokwane. However, a trap by
officials of the District Municipality, SAPS, Hawks, and other business people from the District Municipality led to an
easy arrest of the suspect when he was trying to collect the money.
We view this arrest as a breakthrough in a situation that has been disturbing us since 2009. The arrest of the old
man who is a civilian from our District will send a strong message of how we are intolerant of fraud and corruption. We
have so far opened three (3) cases of this nature in Groblersdal Police Station and we are looking for positive results.
We appeal to other victims of this scam to come forward and confidentially brief us about these cases so that we can
get law enforcement agencies to apprehend these criminals. We are sympathetic to all the victims of this fraudulent
activities and we commit to support them said Executive Mayor, Mogobo David Magabe.
We are making a
clarion call to all citizens of our country to
refrain from clinching
deals in the dark places of the night. We
stand for accountable
governance and clean
administration. All our
tenders are publicly
advertised in newspapers, followed by
open briefing sessions
and selling of tender
documents. All the
bidders and qualified
bidders are appointed
duly and appointment
letters are issued by
Municipal Manager
Mma Mokoko.
It cant be correct
that a company can
win a tender without
bidding fairly and
openly with others. So
we request anybody
who have been approached to come to
our offices in Groblersdal or contact the
nearest police station
concluded Executive
Mayor Magabe.

Isaiah 40:6-8 (NIV)

6 A voice says, Cry out.
And I said, What shall I cry?
All people are like grass,
and all their faithfulness is like
the flowers of the field.
7 The grass withers and the
flowers fall,
because the breath of the Lord
blows on them.
Surely the people are grass.
8 The grass withers and the
flowers fall,
but the word of our God endures forever.

A letter of concern

Run, baby run - but be visible

Platinum Gazette has also received a letter
(in Afrikaans) from a reader that complain
about runners in town that do no keep to the
traffic rules and regulations.
The reader says it is a problem especially
on the Lydenburg road out of town. Runners
run on the tarmac and do not yield for cars,
creating a dangerous situation, especially
if more than one runner runs next to each
other.

The road is simply not wide enough for

everybody. I am so afraid that I run one of
them over. When it gets dark, they also do
not wear enough reflective clothing so that
motorists can see them.
I do not want anybody to die.
(So there you have it comrades, if you practise for the Comrades, make sure you arrive
alive - Editor).

More rape near Leboeng

I wish to warn all motorists and public making use of the road between Kruis street and
Dirk Winterbach Street between the taxi rank areas on the stretch of road from the Boxer
Supermarket area.
On the morning 12th March 2016 round about 12:55 am I was just one more victim
in of so many others that got robbed at the robot at the corner of Kruis Street and Dirk
Winterbach Street.
Waiting at the red robot our car was approached by an unidentified man begging for
cigarettes from my wife. A second man appeared from nowhere on my side of the car
and forced himself into the open window grabbing my jewelry from my neck.
This problem of robbing innocent motorists and members of the public on a daily
basis is now been going on for years. There is no administration of justice in any way,
causing traffic congestion .
Loss of life had already happened in the past and it is going to happen again if the
local law authorities dont get their act together soon.
Concerned Citizen Burgersfort (Letter edited and shortened - Editor)

Roses for you

(top). They trapped the little white car after it fled for various transgressions. The driver

What Easter means to you

The next two weeks are filled with public holidays. First up is Human Rights Day and then
the Easter Weekend will follow with Good
Friday next week.
Usually this is a time when many people take
to the roads to travel for various reasons.
With the economy biting, the question is
whether this pattern will continue? How much
do these days mean to people and what do
they plan to do?
Platinum Gazette asked readers what the
coming Easter Weekend means to them and
what they will be doing?

Mr Sipho Mabizela said: Easter means a lot

to me. I must go to church and Ill be spending time with my family.

Mr Jacob Motha said: It will be family time

this Easter. I work in Burgersfort, but my family stays in Groblersdal. That long weekend
gives me time to be with them and just reflect
on everything. Ill enjoy being with my boys.

Mr Shadrick Makgopa said: Easter is a

special time for us. We go to church to thank
God for saving our lives. Afterward we come
back and go to work again.

Ms Tsakani Mogale said: Easter is a Christian event. Ill also be spending time with the
family. It is a good time to have thanksgiving
for Jesus Christs death on the cross for us.
It is a relief that we can be forgiven and be
free. I also like the chocolate Easter bunnies
you get this time of the year.
Mr Alfred Thobane and Mr Bethuel Manamela said: Well be spending time with
our families and loved ones. Well travel to
Polokwane and Mokopane and then all come
together.
Mnr. Deriek Luies s: Dis die dag wat die
Here vir ons gesterf het aan die kruis, so
Goeie Vrydag moet geheilig wees. Ons moet
Hom loof en prys dat Hy vir ons lewens
gesterf het aan die kruis en dat ons vir ewig
dankbaar sal wees. Ek gaan rustig by die
huis wees saam met die familie.

Dr Florence Makgamatha said: For Easter

Ill be at home with my mum. Ill visit her
where she stays at Moletji. It is now a year
since my father passed away so Ill be giving
some moral support with the family. We will
also remember the death of Jesus Christ and
what that means to us.

Mr Tshepo Mashaba said: Im going to

Moria. It is always Moria-time over Easter. Ill
take my family with me.

thanking Him for what He did for us. We will
listen to the pastors preaching the Word of
God and well sing in choirs. After church Ill
be going back to work.

Mr Dumisa Madalane said: It is about family

and going to church. Good Friday is about
remembering the death of Jesus Christ. We
go to church and recall what He did for us to

me to listen to the pastors.

Mr Ripson Malejane said: Ill be going to

Moria to my church there. I wish everyone

Vrydag. Ons gaan rustig by die huis wees
hierdie Paastyd.

Mr Doctor Masinga said: On Easter we

remember the day Jesus was crucified. We
must pray and thank God for it. Good Friday
is so important. This is a message to all the
people. They must remember that you cannot
be saved with things like money. You cannot
thank God with money, you can only pray
and thank Him for saving us. Ill be going to
Moria to the conference.

Talking about leadership and making a difference

Greater Tubatse this week benefitted from special sessions
in leadership development and motivational talks when Dr.
David Molapo visited his roots.
Dr. Molapo is a management consultant, educator, and
renowned motivational speaker who is known for empowering people to turn their lives around.

His life story of imprisonment at the age of 13 for

political activities and the change he experience once
he found God and realized that anything is truly possible
when God is in control, gripped audiences at all the different venues. At Sehlaku Technical High School and Kgahlanong High School the learners were stunned to learn
that this successful person with such a powerful
message matriculated at Leolo High School in
Praktiseer. Today Dr. Molapo is a successful
businessman leader, husband, and father. He
is married to Dr. Mamikie Molapo, who spoke at
the AFM Church in Steelpoort during one of this
weeks sessions.
Dr. Molapo speaks on many subjects, including Quality Management, Communication, Entrepreneurial Skills, Team Building, Leadership,
Affirmative Action, and Accepting Change. He
also authored many books, including: Growing
Up Spiritually, The 10 Exciting Keys to Success,

and If You Are Not Growing, You Are Dying. The list of awards he
has received in his life is very long and his expertise has led him to
being a Non-Executive Director of Dimension Data SA and other
major corporations such as South African Airways and Spoornet.
His talks included a Breakfast Session with small business
owners as well as corporate and community leaders. He was
also accompanied by Kohin to local schools and addressed local
pastors.

Modikwas soccer team

has a winning attitude
Inspiring even in difficult times
Modikwa soccer team visited HITACHI TMM
Construction company in Boksburg on Saturday 12 March 2016 as part of the preparations for the upcoming SAMSA Soccer
tournament in May 2016.
The games were played at Boksburg
Stadium. The first game was HITACHI second team up against Modikwa second team.
The half time score was 3-1 to Modikwa with
Modikwa having better ball possession than
HITACHI. In the second half, HITACHI tried
very hard to minimise the score line but they
failed to beat the Modikwa goalkeeper who
was wide awake in all their attempts. It was
Modikwa again that found the back of the
net twice in the second half to leave the final
score at 5-1 to Modikwa. Ally, one of Modikwas players, repeated history whenscored
4 times against HITACHI just as he scored 4
times against the same team in September
2015 when they visited Modikwa.

again Modikwa had a better ball possession
compared to their opponents. In the second
half Modikwa banged in another 3 goals with
HITACHI finding the back of the net one more
time to leave the final score at 7-2 to Modikwa.
After the soccer games, Modikwa Soccer
team was treated with a braai and soft drinks
which gave the supporters a chance to shake
hands with Modikwa soccer players while
congratulating them on their outstanding

Notice for golf players

Golf players at Tubatse Chrome Golf Club
should please take not that the Club is
busy hollow tyning the greens as it has
become necessary after the good rains.
This is a process where small holes are
made in the greens and filled with fine
silica sand, this makes the greens softer
and allows more back spin.
Players are reminded that the greens will
be sandy and slow for the next few days
until the grass has grown through the
sand.
