The Executive Mayor of Sekhukhune District Municipality Cllr Mogobo David Magabe has
presented the 2011-2012 IDP Budget of eight hundred and eigty eight million, eight hundred
and fifty one thousand rands (R888 851 000.00) during the ordinary council sitting held at
Elias Motsoaledi Municipal Chambers on Tuesday this week.
During the announcement of the budget, the Executive Mayor Cllr Magabe announced an
increase of 8% in the 2011-2012 budget as compared to the previous financial year (2010-
2011).
The Executive Mayor said that Four hundred and eighty one million, two hundred and
twenty nine thousand rands (R481 229 000) is set aside for capital projects. That is fifty four
percent of the budget (54%). Three hundred and sixty five million, seven hundred and
seventy two thousand rands (R365 772 000) has been set aside for operational needs. That
is 45% of the budget. And we have five million, three hundred thousand rands (R5 300 000)
for capital administration. That is one percent (1%) of the budget.
The District Municipality has taken a decision to allocate more for capital projects for
obvious reasons of pushing back the frontiers of poverty said the mayor.
He also said Like we mentioned during the State of the District Address on the 10th March
this year, we are on record as stating that our Big Five Bulk Water projects, together with
our new scheme called Carbonates-Zaaiplaas, will all receive their equitable shares from the
budget we present here today.
These projects are:
The Nkadimeng Bulk Water Scheme;
Oliphantspoort Bulk Water Scheme;
Groblesdaal / Luckau Bulk Water Scheme;
Mooihoek Tubatse Regional Water Scheme;
Nebo Plateau Bulk Water Scheme;
We will also continue monitoring progress made regarding the construction of the much
anticipated De Hoop Dam.
The budget presented also included three million, three hundred and sixty four thousand, six
hundred and fourty one rands (R3 364 641 000) for Sekhukhune Development Agency
(SDA). The SDA was established in 2009 with a core mandate of complementing the district
municipality on leveraging economic opportunities within the district.
The Executive Mayor also outlined considerations and assumptions which guided the
budget. They are that:
- Income is based on Division of Revenue Bill 2011 and future projection based on
the municipalitys ability to collect;
- Salary increase of 7% by 2011/2012;
- The budget is premised on Zero based budgeting and Cash backed; and
- Budget will increase by 8% in 2011/12, 9% for 2012/13 and 10% for 2013/14;
In conclusion, the Magabe stated that the district municipality has already implement the
Local Government Turn-Around Strategy and that implementation of Outcomes-based
Approach geared towards helping government measure the impact of its programmes and
projects on the lives of the people, is already actualized.

Nkwe Platinum and Genorah Resources high brass visi ted the Burgersfort and Steelpoort area on Wednesday to
meet with representatives of the Roka Pasha and Bengwenyama communities, collectively taking a media
contingent, most of the journalists flown in from Johannesburg, to visit the community farms where Genorah
Resources will be the ecomomic partner for platinum mine development in the coming years.
The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) successfully processed the Section 104 Applications on the
Eerste Geluk 327KT and Nooitverwacht 324KT farms and awarded rights to both the Roka Phasha and
Bengwenyama ya Maswati communities respectively.
As a result of this award, Nkwe Platinum Limited (ASX: NKP) (Nkwe) has regained its interests in both theGaratau and Tubatse projects after a Constitutional Court ruling towards the end of last year that stripped Nkwe of
the Tubatse project. In the advent of this announcement, the MD of Nkwe Platinum Limited, Maredi Mphahlele
said: Nkwe and the Roka Phasha and Bengwenyama communities welcome the award. This move is significant
in that it provides not only economic opportunities for all but it also forges a strategic partnership that embarks on
a meaningful and sustainable path of social and infrastructural development for the area.
The development of this platinum mining project through the partnership will seek to create job opportunities
for all members of the communities in addition to increasing educational and skills development programmes.
Such development will bolster the already existing initiatives undertaken by Nkwe in previous years. Through
extensive consultation with the communities, Nkwe is committed to working with the Roka-Phasha and
Bengwenyama communities to facilitate infrastructural development to ensure that the future will see amongst
others, the building of clinics, schools, roads, bridges, houses, as well as the provision of electricity and clean
water in the area.
The Chief of Roka Phasha-Phokwane Community, Thete Phasha, spokesperson of Roka-Phasha Phokwane
Tribal Authority said: We look forward to cementing our relationship with Nkwe Platinum. We are relieved that
prospecting of Eerste Geluk can continue for the benefit and betterment of all communities who live in it.
Adding to this, the spokesperson of the Bengwenyama ya Maswati community, Dr Sizani Nkosi said: The
Bengwenyama community has valued Nkwes sustained participation in our community through meetings with the
Tribal Authority and the Eerste Geluk Nooitverwacht Community Development Forum. This award is symbolic of
the break of a new dawn in our area and it forges a new way of engaging in development. All partners will worktogether underscored by mutual respect, shared values, and a common vision. This is poised to set an example
for similar initiatives elsewhere in integrating the spirit of unity.
The Paramount Chief of the BaPedi, Kgosi Kgolo KK Sekhukhune has urged the two communities to
appreciate the good fortune extended by the DMR. All communities must work peacefully to enjoy the good
bounty of the land. The culture of the BaPedi rests on time-tested principles of ubuntu. At the core of these
principles is the belief that respect of human dignity is of paramount importance to a well-functioning society. I
have the conviction that this is a human investment before it is a commercial one -commerce is an outcome of the
investment in human capital and social development of the area. The people of Sekhukhune must unite as
children of the King to build a lasting legacy that will benefit generations to come, he said.

A cross to help spread the wordNine churches came together on Sunday afternoon to securethe new cross on top of the hill in the middle of Burgersfort. Theprevious cross was put up in 2000, but was blown over last
year during a heavystorm. It was rustedand could not be
pulled up again. TheDutch Reformed
Church decided toplant a new one thisyear. A new , sturdysteel structure wascreated. It will be
cladded and lights fitted to make it visible at night. The piece ofland on which the cross stand was also last week registered to theChurch.A group consisting of the Dutch Reformed Church, the AFM Churchin Steelpoort and Praktiseer, Living Hope Bible Church Burgersfort,CCG Penge, Last Harvest Family Church (at TCL), Ebenheser
Christian Church at Driekop, Skakainah Worship Centre Praktiseerand Abundant Life walked from the Dutch Reformed Church to the
hill to put the new cross in place. Worship, prayer and blessings forthe valley was also part of what happened. The symbol of the crossshould serve as a reminder to all who sees it of the sacrifice thatJesus made when He died for our sins. The place where the crosswas planted will be a place of prayer for the various churches.

How often does it happen?
Mr Ishmael Moela said: It happens a lot.Im scared to participate in mass action.Eish, Im scared Ill get hurt.
Mr Thabo Mokoena said: It was anisolated incident in Ficksburg. Peopledont really get hurt during protests.
Me. Charmaine van der Gryp s: Onsweet net nie daarvan nie. Ek dink diepolisie steek baie goed weg.
Mnr. Nico en me. Joey du Plessis s: Dit gebeur meer was watn mens dink. Hulle steek dit weg vir die publiek. Daar is baiegeweld. Die polisie slaan die mense en so aan. Ons weet nie watalles agteraf aangaan nie. Dit was tragies daardie op Ficksburg.Dink aan die impak en trauma wat dit op klein kinders moet h
wat dit op TV gesien het.
Mr Donald Mohlala and Mr Thabo Mokoena said: Violencehappens more than we know about. It happens especially whenthere are many people, but if they are few, we wont know aboutit. If the media is there, we will know, but if they are not around
we wont know. Our police force need reform and education onhow to deal with these things.
Ms Victoria Guptar said: It happens. It isjust that at this protest there were toomany people. So many people get hurt,some even die. If any state hurts or killsyou, they cover it up. This governmentand the one before. We might talk aboutreconciliation, but that is for emotionallyintelligent people, many people are stillvery angry. We are still very polarised. If ablack person kills a white person, thewhites make noise. If a white person killsa black person the black people make
noise. What our South African peopledont understand is that there is only onerace - the human race. Maybe it will bebetter with the new generation startingschool now. To me, we have not startedworking on reconciliation or trying tounderstand each other. Ons moetvergewe, ons is siek. Mnr. Gerhard
Coetzee s: Ditwas nie ngesoleerde voorvalnie. Dit gebeurmeer dikwels ingroter stede as indie platteland. Diemedia het nou netop hierdie ene opdie plattelandgefokus. By hom
is Handr.
Mr Thamaga Selahle said: I think SAhave matured. We discuss our issuesopenly. I think it was an isolated incidentin Ficksburg. I wont be scared toparticipate in marches. We have hadmany marches since 1994 and this wasthe first incident Ive heard of.
Mr Simon van Rooi and Mr Tebalelo Nhleko said: It was not aisolated incident. There is violent behaviour from the protestersthen they clash with the police. They dont know what a peacefulmarch is. You just go to deliver your message. Especiallyincidents such as at Xstrata recently is unnecessary. We need to
move on from the violence, it is 2011. People must stop theculture of entitlement. They dont want to work hard.
Me. Barbara Lessing s: Ek dink dis bad.Dit word baie keer toegesmeer as daargeweld van die polisie se kant is, ons weetnet nie daarvan nie.
Mr BlessingSangwenisaid: I think ithappens oftenthat there isviolence atprotest
marches.There is notalwayscameras near.Yes, I amscared toparticipate inany suchactivities.
Last week a protest against poor servicedelivery in Ficksburg turned violent whenprotesters and the SAPS clashed.MrAndries Tatane one of the protesters died.
His death and the minutes before wascaptured on television camera and splashedall over the world. We asked readerswhether they think the violence in Ficksburg
was and isolated incident or whether theythink it happens more often? We aslo asked
whether this will influence them toparticipate in future mass protests or not.

Who will be the champion?Tubatse Chrome Golf Club held their annual Club Championshipslast weekend.The tournament stretched over Saturday and Sunday, with 18 holesof play on each of the days. Experienced and inexperienced players
all came together to enjoy the game and test their skill. The greens
were very slow after the 70mm of rain in the Steelpoort area, thisensured that even experienced players overshot their put.By the time of going to press the final results of the competition hadnot yet been received.

On the 8 April, the Senior Rugby League inLimpopo, under the affiliation of the Blue BullRugby Union (BBRU), kicked off at
Groblersdal. The Buffels played their first
league game as a registered club againstLoskop Rugby Club.We only entered one team, due to a lack ofplayers. However, the game was very physical
the scrums were harsh, the backlines were
very competitive, our opponents were verystrategic said Mr Charl van der Merwe of theBuffels.We lost 12-28. Both our centers, Zorf and
Donovan, each scored a try, of which only onewas converted. Man of the Match for the
forwards was Quartus du Toit (hooker andteam captain), and Man of the Match for thebackline was Guppy Smit (wing).We were received with great hospitality andwould like to wish the Loskop Rugby Club allthe best for the remainder of the League.
On the 16 April, they faced the Letaba Rugby
Club, currently second on the log. This was ahome game for the Buffels. It was a difficultgame due to the weather conditions - it startedraining five minutes prior to kick-off.
This caused the ball to be very slippery, allbackline moves were shortened to try toprevent any unnecessary knocks, the scrums
were handicapped due to bad tog traction and
the lighting was not sufficient. We lost 0-38,causing us to be at the bottom of our log.Overall Man of the Match, was our eighth man,Jaco van der Merwe. Good luck to the LetabaClub for the remainder of their league.
The teams that the Buffels compete againstin their league are: Phalaborwa, Mussina,Letaba, Groblersdal, Louis Thrichardt,Nooordelikes (Polokwane), Potgietersrus and
Pietersburg Dorp. On 7 May the Buffels willbe playing on home ground, against
Noordelikes. Noordelikes is currently fourth onthe log.We are going to field two teams on this dayand I would like to make use of this opportunityto invite anyone interested, to come and joinus.
Practice times are from 18h00 to 19h30, every
Tuesday and Thursday at the WinterveldRecreational Clubs Rugby field, Steelpoort.A rugby jersey and togs are compulsory. Iwould like to thank Atlas Copco, ABC
Ventilation, Pick & Pay Steelpoort, MopaneCaf, Precrete and Marula mine for their
contribution and sponsors. Without them,would it be impossible for us to participatein this league.
