Two arrested for Mankele bridge fraud

The Hawks have arrested two former officials of the Limpopo Provincial Department of Transport for fraud exceeding R79-million. The arrest was made by the elite units Anti-Corruption Task Team. The suspects, former Road Agency Limpopo CEO Mrs Mashanoke Alice Mogotlane (44) and former Senior Manager for Special Projects Mr Ndanganeni Robert Nemavhola (48), are accused of fraudulently issuing a tender to build a bridge that cross the Olifants (Lepelle) River from Penge to GaMankele village in the Greater Tubatse Municipality. The suspects allegedly inflated the initial amount of R46 671 876.59 to R79 518 404.52 without the necessary approval from the Treasury. The contracted company also supplied an Acrow bridge instead of a Mabey and Johnston steel bridge. The procurement processes were also allegedly circumvented. The pair has appeared in the Polokwane Magistrates Court yesterday on charges of fraud. The case was postponed to 15 August, and they were released on R5 000 bail each. The Head of the Hawks in Limpopo, Major-General Dibero Molatsane, applauded the team for their sterling work. She said: Our aim is to rid the province from acts of corruption, and we anticipate more arrests on this case. Platinum Gazette reported extensively on the project during the construction phase (this photograph was published in March 2012 just after completion of the bridge and tarred road to Mankele) as well as theofficial opening of the bridge on 25 April last year by Limpopo Premier, Cassel Mathale (published on 27 April 2012).

We will donate No Dumping signs

Last week when it looked if AutoZone, a respected business in Eland Street, Burgersfort, was dumping old flooring in Morone Street on the gravel part after the Oorbietjie Street T, Platinum Gazette fowarded the photograph to AutoZone and the municipality. Three responses were received. The guilty party was not AutoZone, but Creative Shop, which is currently busy with a revamp at AutoZone. They borrowed the bakkie ... The first response was receiuved from them, which read: My installation crew is currently busy with a revamp at the AutoZone Burgersfort store. As per most our projects, we normally order a skip for all building debris and rubble. However there has been a delay in getting this to site in a timeous manner. My crew onsite took the initiative to removal the rubble, with the assistance of my clients vehicle. Not being familiar with the surroundings, the mistook the area where they dumped the rubble as a dumping ground. My client is actively involved in the community and do their utmost to contribute where they can. That being said, I personally would like to donate, no dumping signage for this area. Please advise as to how I can go about assisting you and the local metro in cleaning up this area. Contact me personally to resolve Best Regards, Brandon Williams CREATIVE SHOP Platinum Gazette contacted Mr Williams and passed on the relevant contact numbers at the municipality. Response number two was received from AutoZone, which in no uncertain terms declared: Thank you for bringing the illegal dumping of refuse to our attention. This is not the way AutoZone conducts its business and we regret this incident. Whilst our subcontractor has accepted responsibility for this incident it is not without fault on AutoZones behalf as our staff allowed the use of our vehicle for this purpose. Our own internal investigation will be conducted and where appropriate disciplinary action could result. We have in the interim made arrangements to have this rubble removed and legally disposed of. We apologise to the residents of Burgersfort for this unfortunate incident. Regards, Kyle E. Young General Manager - Operations AutoZone Response number three came from the Greater Tubatse Municipality who warned throught its Spokesperson, Mr Kubane Tolo: The Waste Act 59 states that No person shall drop, spill or deposit any refuse into or onto public area, therefore, it is clear that such activity is unlawful, unacceptable, inhuman and prohibited. Since we have the proof of photos, a letter will be written to Autozone to instruct them to clean the site within given specific time frame and failure to do so the legal steps will be taken against them. As for the reporting of such activities with sufficient evidence, we call upon the Community members to assist the Municipality and contact Ms Chokoe K (Supervisior in Waste Management) on (013) 231 1173 and at kchokoe@tubatse.gov.za

Editorial comment:

Those responsible for the incident reported about on this page, should be commended for their views and their willinglness to admit that they were wrong and also their willingness to rectify and contribute to do something that is a sore eye in any community. The scary version of this article is that the businesses who took responsibility on this page are not the only guilty ones. Other businesses and individuals (we regularly see them, only we do not always have a camera ready) at more than one place in town and next to the river in Steelpoort dump whatever they want to as if no rules apply and become agressive when they just see newspaper personnel in the vicinity (even with no camera in sight) and usually flee the scene in a great cloud of dust. Landfill sites actually do exist and the municipality in Burgersfort have all the details available. Please do not dump your waste on other peoples doorstep. It is unsightly, smells bad, is a threat to the environment and sometimes a downright threat to everyones health.

Trucks damaging town infrastructure

Heavy vehicles parking on the sidewalks in town often cause damage to infrastructure such as stormwater drainage inlets. Platinum Gazette asked the Greater Tubatse Municipality what is the regulations regarding truck damaging curbstones etc. in town as shown on the photographs to the left. Mr KB Tolo, GTM Spokesperson said: Any person who park a motor vehicle on a side walk is committing an infringement and he/ she will be issued with a section 56 notice for the amount of R1500-00 (One thousand five hundred rand). Furthermore, the driver of such vehicle is held responsible if found or identified as the driver at the time of committing the offence. On the photo of the two trucks, the owner or operator of such vehicle is liable for the fine if the driver could not be found until submitting a statement declaring the drivers name and address. The necessary steps will be taken against the trucks that appear on the photos and we will investigate and follow up with the issuing of section 341 notices to the owner/operator. The Traffic Department is appealing to the public to report any wrong doings by calling this number: 013 231-1000 and traffic officers will be summoned to that scene immediately.

Trucks driving over storm water drain inlets on the side of the road often leave them dangerously exposed as happened on the photograph to the left. A more than a metre deep hole was left exposed on the side walk. Pieces of the curbstone was broken off after the heavy vehicle climbed onto the sidewalk and off again.

No, I dont need an abortion!

The distribution of flyers for everything from cars that are for sale to abortions is becoming a bigger and bigger problem in Burgersfort. Many just paste their pamflets to traffic signs while others place their leaflets under car wiper-blades and in the door handles of vehicles. Most vehicle owners just throw the papers away on the spot. This contributes to the waste problem in town.

Finger lickin goodness at the Mall

Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) opened a shop at the Tubatse Crossing Mall this week Monday. They were welcomed by customers eager to get some of the world famous fried chicken for lunch. The shop is situated at Entrance 3. The shop has convenient eat-in tables that will cater for shoppers seeking a break and something to still the hunger. Take-aways, as always, are also available. Mr Eddie Alberts, the CFO of Clabo Investments and Mr Renier Mostert the CEO of Clabo Investments, the company owning the shop, were present on pening day (photograph left).

Mr John Fincham at the opening.

A little longer green, please?

Traffic coming into Burgersfort on the R37 is slowed dramatically at the Themba Garage/ Tubatse Crossing Mall cross. It seems that those programming the traffic lights anticipated a much larger traffic flow coming from the Mall

into the main road. Traffic now waits for a green light while virtually no traffic comes from the Malls side. The photograph above was taken this week as traffic backed up almost to the R555 Steelpoort cross (not peak hour).

Changing to a new card ID:

Very soon South Africans will be issued with a convenient and safe card ID when they apply for an identity document. The cards will replace the current green barcoded book. The cards will be safer as they will be encoded with a micro chip and will be operated with fingerprint verification and a PIN where necessary. The photograph of the cards owner will be engraved with a laser onto the card and this will make it virtually impossible for thieves to simply replace the photograph before using the card fraudulently. The Department of Home Affairs will be able to issue a card ID much faster than a book. The waiting period will be cut down to a few days. New applications will receive the card free of charge, but if you are applying to replace your lost or stolen card, you will have to pay R140 as is currently the case when applying for a replacement ID. It is estimated that it will take government about eight years to replace all the existing green ID books with the cards. The card system is in line with the Department of Home Affairs goal to move towards a paperless environment. We asked readers what they think about the coming system.

Mr Harare Malapane said: If they can give us one that looks the same as our drivers licences it will protect the photograph. People remove the photos when the ID is stolen. It will now be protected.

Mr Sloaney Magale said: Ive heard about the coming new system. Most peoples IDs get stolen and used by people from other countries because they want jobs and need an ID to apply. The card system will be better because it will work with a fingerprint and pin. Nobody will be able to steal it.

Mr Errol Buthelezi said: I think it will be good. It will reduce the theft of IDs. They must give the card free to everyone. They are the ones whove decided to change and we anyway pay tax.

Mr Cedrick Digoro said: Ja, Ive heard about the card ID. I dont think it will be better. The card will get lost time and again and it will be too expensive to keep on replacing it.

Mr Patrick Mndluli said: Ive heard about it on TV. It will be good and much safer. A foreigner will not be able to take the photograph out and put his own there like many do now. I support it 100%. We must pay to get it. Government cannot just give to everyone, they will go bankrupt.

Mnr Eghardt Nel s: Ek het nog nie daarvan gehoor nie. Hulle moet dit gratis vir almal maak. Ek dink die kaart sal beter vir almal wees.

Ms Promise Maja said: Yes, it will be good. If it is lost they cannot use it because they cannot change the photograph. Ill be willing to pay for it because I really need it.

Ms Abigail Magabane and Ms Joana Mnisi said: Yes, it will be better. Then nobody can steal your ID. It will be safer. It will be like a drivers licence. Abigail: I will be willing to pay for it. Joana: No, I think they must give it out to everyone for free.

Mr Speed Kgwetiane said: The card will be better. I dont want to pay to have my ID changed to the card. Let people who lose theirs pay to have it replaced.

Mr Anthony Mashego said: I think this new card system is a great achievement for our country after previous complications at the Department of Home Affairs. By using fingerprints nobody will be able to use your ID except the real owner. I think there is no problem to pay for the card. We will be sure that everything is secured.

what is your opinion?

Me. Mariana Matthysen s: Nee, ek het nog nie van dit gehoor nie. Ek is wel positief daaroor. Ek hou van die idee van sekuriteit met vingerafdrukke. Dit sal meer effektief wees as n ID alleen. R140 is darem nie baie om te betaal nie. By haar is Dine-Mari.

Mr Mphihleng Ntoampe said: Ive heard about it. Im glad about it, but with mixed suspicious feelings. The first time we got the green ID the government assured us that it will be more convenient etc. The criminality that came with it came very often from within the Department of Home Affairs. If this card will have to go through human hands at Home Affairs there is again a risk of criminality. The ID fraud is often linked with inside jobs at Home Affairs. They must let people working there do security clearance similar to that needed for employees at the Special Investigative Unit. I think at Home Affairs this is paramount. Yes, it will be more convenient than the book. I won t be happy to pay to have mine renewed from the book to a card. It will be unfair. People cannot afford it. Everyone has the right to an ID that is safe, secure and protected - it is in the Constitution! Government must also do a big awareness campaign with the planned changes. It must be similar in size as to what happens when it is election time so that they can reach even the eldest people in the most rural areas.

Mr Ally Malapane and Mr Simon Mabuza said: It will be safer and easier to carry. We are looking forward to get one soon. It will be better.

Right: Mr Emmanuel Modipi said: It is going to work better. If I lost mine in the past it took long to replace and now they wont be able to do anything with my ID if I lose it.

Mr Noah Moagi said: It is very good. Im very happy about it. It will be very safe. I will have my ID book replaced with a card very soon.

Mr Martin Mokhele said: Ive heard about it. It will be safer than it is now. Yes, Ill be willing to pay for an ID card.

Ms Caroline Jaunda said: No, I have not heard about it, but I think it is a good idea. They must let it be free to get the new card ID.

Ms Pretty Malapane said: Ive heard about it. It is a good idea. We can put it inside a wallet. It is a safe thing. But I dont want to pay for it. They must just give it to us.

Mr Nelson Mabelane said: Its going to be good. It will be an all-in-one card. I wont mind to pay because I know my stuff will be safe.

Mr Lucky Nkosi said: Ive heard some rumours about the card. It will be safe. I look forward to getting a new card ID.

Mr Enos Mabaanne said: Safety is tight. It will also require fingerprints etc. at the bank. They can no longer come and steal your things. It will be safer.

Mr Cedrick Malapane said: Yes, it will be very safe. This thing of removing the owners photo will not happen anymore. We will not share an ID with anyone. It is also portable. This will be an improvement. With him is Rory.

Debt has reached an all time high in South Africa and more consumers are feeling the pinch of the tough economy. Easy credit is also catching up on them. When you find that your debt is getting out of hand - that you are unable to make all your monthly payments and still be able to pay for monthly expenses such as food, petrol and electricity it may be a good time to visit a registered Debt Counsellor. A Debt Counsellor will help you to draw up a budget and will negotiate on your behalf with your creditors. It means that you will have to hand over all the debt you have and the Debt Counsellor will re-negotiate installments with the creditors or through a court. You will pay over a single amount to the Debt Counsellor who will make sure that each creditor receives their share. That is why it is very

important to make use of a registered Debt Counsellor. If you are not using someone registered with the National Credit Regulator, they may charge exhorbitant fees and you are not sure that the money is going where it is intended. The registered Debt Counsellor will ensure that you still have enough money for living expenses. The important thing to remember is that you must have an income to be able to go under Debt Review. You will also not be able to make any additional debt while you are under Debt Review. Going for help may ensure you keep your house or car, while paying off the debt you owe. You can become debt free!
