Doing it the Flintstone way at the Wildevy 4x4 Day

Dwarsrivier Mine supported the Wildevy 4x4 Day last Saturday . Through this day funds for charity are raised. They participated in the Potjiekos competition and some employees participated in the 4x4 driving challenges. The day was filled with fun and Dwarsrivier decorated their stand to the Flintstone theme. Everyone had fun and agreed that although they did not win the competition it was worth it to participate. Dwarsrock(ed) at the Wildevy!

At Dwarsriviers base the Flintstone 4x4 was parked at the entrance.

While everyone was having a ball participating in the 4x4 Day or just relaxing, some where cooking up a storm in a potjie. Dwarsrivier employees enjoyed the day with their families.

The Dwarsrivier team prepared a tripe and a beef potjie.

Dwarsrivier Mine was not afraid to take on the challenges of the day in a 4x4.

Dwarsrivier spectators could easily be spotted during the day with their unique Flintstone T-shirts.

Not the end of Glencore Xstrata labour dispute

Photographs: Colleen Loubser
Former Xstrata miners blockaded roads near Glencore Xstratas mines between Lydenburg and Burgersfort last week Friday and threw stones at several cars. A truck and a bus were set alight. A Police spokesperson, Hangwani Mulaudzi, could not confirm the miners were demonstrating after Xstrata fired them. Police were called in earlier and reinforcements arrived from Polokwane and other stations. Three people were arrested and charged with public violence, while said several motorists whose vehicles were damaged had opened cases of malicious damage to property. The violence had abated by late Friday morning. As far as coulkd be determined the group of former employees resorted to violence after they did get bre-emplyed by Glencore Xstrata. The company fired more than a thousand employees on an unprotected strike after allegations of racial bias at the companys Thorncliff Mine. Their positions were advertised, but they were not re-employed according to reports. The three people who had been arrested appeared in the Sekhukhune magistrates court on Monday. Aacording to the SABC a spokesperson for the Workers and Socialist Party, Elmon Magedi , said The battle that started as a war against racism has been escalated to a battle between community members, because the mine has decided to advertise posts that were occupied by brothers and sisters of those who are unemployed in the community; and unfortunately it has been aggravated by mine bosses who refuse to meet with the leadership of the community. Magedi said when management advertised their posts, tens of thousands of people applied. Scores of dismissed mineworkers protested outside the court on Monday, singing songs and blaming the government for not intervening in the dispute.

Wishing her a happy retirement

On Friday 2 August 2013, Joshua Generation will be saying farewell to a stalwart of the school. Ms Corica Albertyn has been in the teaching profession for 40 years and started at Joshua Generation in 2008. Corica is a very gracious and much loved Principal who always gives her all to the students at the school. For her no sacrifice is ever too big when it comes to the students. The students affectionately refer to her as mommy and this in itself says a lot about her character. She hasnt only showed compassion and love at the school but she is also very active in the community, caring for the less fortunate. She is a tender and honest wife, mother and grandmother. Joshua Generation will be missing her but they also wish her a restful and happy retirement. (Photo and information: Joshua Generation).

(Alle fotos op die Wildevy bladsye is geneem deur Platinum Gazette, ondersteun deur Ruben Zwart en Iain Zwart).

Soos elke jaar was die Show Stopper aan die einde van die dag n groot geleentheid. Verskeie voertuie het in die moddergate vasgesit en moes daar uitgesleep word. Die skare toeskouers het die walle rondom die show stopper volgesit en luidkeels raad gegee oor hoe bestuurders moes maak om deur die gate te kom.

Soms is daar onder die voertuie geloer of alles nog reg werk.

Die dag is afgesluit met musiek deur Henri Alant, Handr en Zandr. Die verskillende punte het unieke uitdagings gehad. Die voertuig hier regs is by die Samancor ECM punt afgeneem. Terwyl die span wat op die foto heel regs is vir Northam Platinum se mense n potjie gemaak het.

Your opinion about the new

On 18 July a new Premier was sworn into government in Limpopo. Mr Chupu Stanley Mathabatha took over the position after the previous Premier, Cassel Mathale resigned. Upon his acceptance of the position Mathabatha told those present that Limpopo is full of great opportunities amidst complex difficulties. He added: We must make it our primary mission to root out corruption wherever it manifests itself. It is for this reason that we call on all our people to join us in our endeavor and renewed efforts to defeat crass materialism, consumerism and other ills that threaten the moral fiber of our society. Those found guilty must be made to pay for their misdeeds. We cannot allow people to use state resources for personal enrichment. This is the taxpayers money. It is meant for nothing else but the improvement of the conditions of living of our people. He urged people not to feel anxious about the changes happening in the Limpopo government. On 19 July a reshuffle of MECs was announced. The MEC for Education is Ms Dikeledi Magadzi, MEC for Health and Social Development: Ms Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba; MEC for Provincial Treasury: Mr Rudolf Phala; MEC for Economic Development, Environment and Tourism: Mr Charles Sekoati; MEC for Agriculture: Ms Rosina Semenya; MEC for Sport, Arts and Culture: Ms Merriam Ramadwa; MEC for Public Works: Mr Dickson Masemola; MEC for Roads and Transport: Mr Lehlogonolo Masoga; MEC for Safety, Security and Liaison: Ms. Joyce Mashamba; MEC for Cooperative Governance and Human Settlement and Tranditonal Affairs: Mr Ishmael Kgetjepe. We asked readers whether theyve heard about the changes and what they think about it and the promise of a renewed fight against corruption.

Mr Adolph Kgwete said: No, Ive not heard about the changes. I dont believe anything politicians say. They dont ever fulfill them.

Mr Elliot Madonsela said: Ja, Ive heard. I cannot say if they will be better than the previous ones. They deserve a chance to prove themselves.

Mr Sammy Masite said: Ive heard. There is no hope. There will be no change in the corruption. Since there are elections coming they may try to change just to satisfy us to vote for them again. Once you vote for them the corruption start again. Some of the MECs who left made mistakes, but I dont approve of the change with Masemola. He should have stayed where he was.

Mr Tonic Mashabela said: No, Ive not heard. I dont think the new MECs will make a difference. There is a lot of corruption. I believe that only God can help us to solve the problems. We can cry corruption, but only praying that God help us will make it better. Mr Jeffrey Motswiane said: Ja, Ive heard. Mathabatha did well in the Ukraine. Maybe he can make good changes in Limpopo. But people are also the same. When they want to be elected they make nice promises, talk sincerely and then they never fulfill their promises. I dont trust anybody. These people only want fame. Mr Ronald Kobe said: No, Ive not heard. I dont believe anything politicians say they want to do. They just want our votes. I dont think the new MECs will be better. They just got the job because they pushed the new Premier to where he is.

Links: Me. Violet Phiri s: Nee, ek het nie gehoor nie en ek dink nie nuwe mense sal dinge beter maak nie. Ek het n DA kaartjie, maar daai DA mense kom nie by ons nie. Ek sien op die TV hoe hulle goed beter maak. Hulle moet ons ook nou kom help.

Mr Ditabeng Moagi said: Yes, Ive heard. Mathabatha is responsible for things now, so it is his choice if he appoints new MECs, as long as they will give better service. Lets give him time and space. He is a man of the ANC, so lets wait and see. Regs: Me Monica Olivier s: Nee, ek het nie gehoor iets het verander nie. Ek dink die politici maak beloftes en kom dit nooit na nie. By haar is Drikus, Danil en JD.

Limpopo government leaders

Me. Aletta Malatjie s: Ja, ek het gehoor ons het n nuwe Premier. Hy gaan beter doen as Cassel. Hy het goeie mense gekry om hom te help, maar ek weet nie watter sukses sal hulle kry nie.

Mr Peter Mashau said: Yes, Ive heard about Stanley Mathabatha. I think he will improve things. The fact that he reshuffled his executive committee shows he is serious about rooting out corruption. Mnr. Johan Geldenhuys s: Nee, ek het nie gehoor van veranderinge nie. Ek is maar skepties oor enige beloftes wat gemaak word. By hom is Jean-Pierre.

Mr Sipho Mashapa said: Yes, Ive heard. I dont believe their promises. They keep on promising but service delivery is like a white elephant in this province. I would have preferred that Cassel stayed on. Corruption is coming from national and that is why we are still supporting Mathale.

Mr Nicholas Shai and Mr Victor Mokgotho said: We dont know anything about politics and we dont believe anything politicians tell us anymore. Mnr. Robbie van der Watt s: Ja, hy sal dalk beter wees as die een wat daar was. n Nuwe besem vee skoon. Aangesien hy in die buiteland was weet hy dalk wat hy doen. Ek het nog nie die MECs deurgekyk nie, so ek weet nie wat om van hulle te dink nie. Ek weet net Mathabatha is n Zuma man.

Mr Titus Makofane said: Ive heard. I believe he will improve things in the province. I dont think he appointed good people as the new MECs. It happened so fast.

Mnr Isaih Komane s: Nee, ek het nie gehoor ons het n nuwe Premier nie. Ek dink nie hy sal beter kan doen as die vorige een nie.

Mr Anthony Mashego said: Actions speak louder than words. We cannot judge the new Premier from what he is saying now. What we need is service delivery. I think the period is too short for him before the elections. He must make sure he means business. We appreciate the changes in the Limpopo administration.

Mnr.Ernest Lekwadu said: I think he is the right guy. If he can work with the right people he can root out corruption and make things better. I trust him. I think the new MECs are the right people.

Me. Sinah Nare said: Yes, I heard there were some changes. I dont believe he will be able to make things better. There is a lot of corruption. People get positions but dont always deliver. I dont know.

On a bicycle for a good cause

The Wildevy Mountain Bike race is in its second year and support for the event grew significantly since the first race in 2012.

The Wildevy Mountain Bike Race formed part of the Wildevy 4x4 Day activities last week Saturday. All the funds raised through the Wildevy 4x4 Family Day goes towards charity. The day was well supported with young and old participating. The race started on the farm Wildebeestkraal and took participants over easy and challenging terrain. Read more about the race and see more photographs on page 16 of this newspaper.

The Waterval CVO team ensured that refreshments were available from early morning.

The second annual Wildevy Mountain Bike race took place on Saturday last week. The race was well supported with even a few professional riders in attendance. More than 300 entries participated in the various categories. The route crossed beautiful mountain terrain, farm lands and even through an area with game such as wildebeest. The 70km participants started first at 08:00. Then the 35km riders followed by those taking on the 10km race. For the children there was a fun 2km route to complete. Early morning refreshments was supplied by the Waterval CVO schools stall. Local businesses also sponsored water points along the route. A festive atmosphere kept everyone warm at the start with JB Willers as the master of ceremonies warning riders to be careful of snakes along the way. As the mountain bikers returned to the finish they were able to freshen up before heading towards the main festival area on a tractor and trailor. The prize giving ceremony took place at the festival stage and special recognition was given to a team from Horskool Lydenburg. The complete results for the day is available on the Wildevy Mountain Biking website. Visit: www.wildevymtb.co.za to get the complete result list as well as additional photographs uploaded by the organisers. The Wildevy Mountain Bike race is set to become one of the highlights on the Mountain Biking calendar in the area and enthusiasts are encouraged not to miss out on next years event. The organisers thanked everyone who contributed towards the success of the day.
