Still peaceful, but more and more local villages are venting their frustrations with the non-performances ofgovernment and the non-fulfilment of promises. In this instance the community of Bothashoek just outsideBurgersfort blocked the road and burned tyres because of their frustration. Next to the ‘Operation Mabone’billlboard, they chanted and listened on Wednesday as they were addressed by their community leaders, theleaders of community organisations and Greater Tubatse Local Municipality Mayor, Councillor RalepaneMamekoa, to hear what the problems with electricity and water provision were. Some questions that wereasked amongst other things related to money given to local government for infrastructure such as water andelectricity, but then projects do not kick off, and the money goes back to central government. The R37 toPolokwane stood still and nobody could pass for a few hours. In the meantime government seems very eagerto get the Special Presidenttial Package for the area implemented with the help of thge industries and mines inthe area. Read the feedback on that meeting on page 2.

2 NEWS 28 NOVEMBER 2014

The Sekhukhune District Municipality saysit has successfully concluded a two dayengagement on the Special PresidentialPackage (SPP) last week Friday.

The District Government said in astatement late on Friday that theengagements began with a meeting ofmembers of the SPP who includedExecutive Mayor Cllr Mogobo DavidMagabe, members of the MayoralCommittee, all mayors from the five localmunicipalities, ten traditional leaders,senior Department of Mineral Resources(DMR) and officials from the Presidency.They met at the Greater Tubatse LocalMunicipality Chamber to fine tune a list ofprojects that they require the mines toimplement.

“The list of projects is categorized intoshort-term, medium-term and long-term.And they take a shape of major roadsprojects, water projects, housing, ITC,health, education, skills development, andenergy. And the list provides for the wholeof Sekhukhune District meaning that allvillages of Sekhukhune District will becovered by this development irrespectiveof whether there is a mine or not” MayorMagabe told those present.

“While government appreciatecontributions of the mines in the upliftmentof the living standard of the working poorand marginalized communities, theapproach of working in alone is not movingthe country forward. Hence there is a needfor a coordinated approach encapsulatedby the Special Presidential Package. Andgovernment have plans in terms ofinfrastructure development but a need toget a buy-in from the more than 27 minesis vital. The package deals with challengesof development and investment that willbenefit both the mining companies and thecommunity. And the need to changeapproach cannot be postponed anymore”stated the Executive Mayor.

During engagement with the mininghouses on the second and the last day, adetailed list of projects earmarked was

presented to the mining houses forengagements and decision.

The statement says that althoughModikwa Platinum Mine praised the SpecialPresidential Package as a beautiful plan, themine raised a concern regarding the spreadof projects across the whole of Sekhukhune,to the exclusion mines’ immediatecommunities and warned it will cause havocunless government has a plan to protect themines from attack. Despite this issue, theplan was highly praised.

Mayor Magabe told the meeting thathaving meetings and producing minutescannot be condoned further as there was anurgent need for action leading towardsdeliverables.

The issue of Social Labour Plans wasraised sharply as a contradiction to theSpecial Presidential Package. However,clarity was given that the two plans neededto be implemented concurrently and that theMining Charter clearly states that themineral belongs to all South Africans andthe state is the custodian. The emphasise isthat charity begins at home and minesneeded to benefit surrounding communitiesin particular and the whole of Sekhukhune ingeneral.

“The engagement with the minesresolved that the Special PresidentialPackage is a step in a right direction whichwill be discussed with various mininghouses.

There is also a need to strengthen theexisting forum between the mining housesand government” Mayor Magabe said. Headded that “During the meeting by thePresident on the 18th October with themining houses and Nedlac, a statement wasissued which resolved that the Social LabourPlans are not been off-loaded, but neededaugmentation by a comprehensive and moreinclusive plan”.

The DMR requested that the meetingagree to a follow-up meeting in the nearfuture to finalise issues before thedepartment can enforce the implementationof the Special Presidential Package.

Fasten your belongingsCalvin Selepe from Manoke wrote:I am really concerned about what I see everyday as I pass to work atthe robots near the Palace (old taxi rank crossing). There are a groupof tsotsis who target motorists with items on the back of their bakkies.The last incident was when I was walking with my wife. Those boysgrabbed a bicycle from a white couple’s bakkie and ran away with it.I urge motorists to fasten their belongings or not to leave themunattended. Keep your doors locked at the robot and never open awindow. These criminals use the line: “you have a flat tyre” to get youto open your door or window and then rob you.

Human Settlements Minister LindiweSisulu was recently accused by theEconomic Freedom Fighters (EFF)of misleading voters and creating ageneration of “hobos”. This cameafter she said that nobody under theage of 40 would get a free (RDP)house from government.“What apartheid could never takefrom anybody is their age. They areyoung, they are energetic, they areable to do,” she said at aParliamentary Human SettlementsPortfolio Committee briefing.It is state policy that nobody olderthan 60 will qualify for a free house.Sisulu’s department is in the processof adjusting their database andprioritising applicants according totheir age. The poor, elderly and thosewith disabilities are given preference.Younger people are better able tofend for themselves and are oftenalso eligible for different forms ofstate support such as subsidisedlow-cost rental. She explained thatany type of system will have to workaccording to criteria that determinewho benefit and in this case herdepartment is working with 60 as thecut-off age.“What apartheid did to the elderly isit has taken their lives away. Thereis nothing an elderly person can do,”Sisulu said. “So it had nothing to dowith schooling or advantages, it hadto do with the fact that there are otherprogrammes that we have in housingthat caters for a whole variety ofpeople who are able to do that. Whatpeople under the age of 40 have isan enormous ability to do thingsthemselves. That which the olderpeople can’t do. They have sweatequity, which is one of theprogrammes we have. They can gointo rental if they can get a job. Weare creating a youth brigade so theywill get a job”. She emphasised thatgovernment would like to create ayoung generation that is notdependent on state benefits.Platinum Gazette asked readers howthey feel about the various cut-offages for qualification for a freehouse.

Mnr. Johan Lundall sê: “Hullemoenie op ouderdom dieonderskeid tref nie, maar wel ofhulle ‘n gesin het. As ‘n persoonvan 30 ‘n gesin het en nie ‘n huis of‘n inkomste nie, behoort hulle ookte kwalifiseer. Indien so ‘n persoon‘n klein inkomste het behoort hy ofsy ook te kwalifiseer. Daar moet nadie omstandighede gekyk word”.

Ms. Claudia Masete and Ms. Nelly Mohlala said: “It’sgood. Young people must learn to work for what theywant”.

Ms. Elsie Mnisi and Ms. Lettie Mnisi said: “It’s notgood, because this means that government has madeempty promises to many people”.

Mr. Donald Moimana said: “Ja, Iagree with them. 40 Years is stillyoung. The people younger thanthat can still work for themselves.Even if they don’t have skills theycan go to FET colleges andupgrade their skills. It is too early togive up”.

Mr. Lesiba Maile said: “I agree.People under 40 are still youngand must work to own their ownhomes”.

Ms. Lebogang Nkadimengsaid: “It’s good. In SouthAfrica it is easier to get apermanent job if you arebetween 18 and 35 yearsold. Those people can buytheir own homes”.

Right: Ms. CateMdhuli said: “It’sgood. Theseolder peopledeserve theRDPs.Governmentmust howeverinclude orphansto also benefitfrom thisscheme”.

Mr. Dumisa Madelane said: “Iagree with government. They arespending lots of money on buildinghouses. It is worrisome to findsome young people quickly extendit or build themselves anothermansion. Government shouldhowever still consider pensionersand people with disabilities forthese houses”.

Ms. Rebecca Selahle and Ms. Munky Mokwenasaid: “It’s good. People must learn to do things ontheir own. They must work. They cannot rely ongovernment for everything. They must stand ontheir own feet. Stand up and work for the house youwant for your children”.

Ms. Jacqueline Mkase said: “Iagree. It’s good. Some people don’tgo to work. They think governmentwill supply them with grants andRDPs. They take advantage of ourgovernment. They must start doingthings for themselves in SouthAfrica”.

Right: Ms. Matete Sekgobela said: “Idisagree with this. We are very poor.Look at the HIV pandemic killingmany parents and now governmentwon’t build these young orphanshomes? What will happen to them?This will increase the crime rate.Government is always saying theyfight poverty, but now they don’twant to give RDPs to youngerpeople? Maybe family units will bebetter if they got homes. The lack ofwork is also a problem. Yes, thereare opportunities for school andstudies, but what about the slowlearners?”

Ms. Anna Mathonsi said: “It is fair.The youth have opportunities to goto school, there are bursaries etc.But I also think - about those whoare very poor? So I agree anddisagree with government. Beingpoor influence your motivation, yourmind and discourage you so I thinkperhaps the poorest should stillqualify”.

Mr. Fanie Lesufi said: “I disagree.To my knowledge everyone earningless than what qualifies you for abond should get a RDP – no matterwhat your age. As long as you don’thave a proper income, you shouldqualify”.

Mr Jacob Maserane and Mr Richard Morena said:“Some of the youth were not even in apartheid. Weagree with government. When we fought againstapartheid the young people were not there. Some ofthese young people also sell their RDPs when theyget it”.

Right: Mr. JabulaneMkhawane said: “Iagree. I want that RDP.I’m older than 40 andhopefully I won’t have towait that long for it.Young people must goto school and getthemselves good jobs”.

Left: Mr. Anthony Mashegosaid: “I agree withgovernment’s plan. To makean age limit on offering RDPhouses will be good. Most ofthe youth have opportunitiesto develop themselves andprosper in the South Africaneconomy.Only orphans, afterthorough investigation shouldget RDP houses. This willalso save our budget and themoney can be usedsomewhere else where it isneeded”.

Ms. Mpuleng Maahlo said: “Yes, Iagree. If young boys just get it,they don’t want to work. They mustgo and look for jobs”.

Left: Mr SephadiMangwale said:“RDP houses are forthose who don’thave or cannot gettheir own homes. Touse age as a way toqualify for it, is notgood – but youngpeople must work”.
