Another death at Bokoni Platinum

Atlatsa Resources Corporation has announced on Monday that it is with deep regret that an employee lost his life in a fall of ground accident at Bokoni Platinum Mines (Bokoni) Middelpunt Hill UG2 shaft section on Saturday, 21 September 2013. The board of directors and management of the company and Bokoni extended their condolences to both the family and colleagues of the deceased employee. The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) has completed its inspection and issued a section 54 safety stoppage notice for Middelpunt Hill UG2 shaft section. Bokoni management has commenced a mine-wide audit on safety and health practices at all its operating shafts. The intention of the audit is to assess current risk levels and ensure adherence to mine safety standards.

Anglo American reach agreement over silicosis

Anglo American South Africa (AASA) announced that it has concluded an agreement which resolves fully and finally 23 stand-alone silicosis claims, instituted against it between 2004 and 2009. The settlement has been reached without admission of liability by AASA and the terms of the agreement remain confidential. Khanyisile Kweyama, Executive Director of Anglo American South Africa, said: AASA believes that agreeing to settle this long-standing litigation is in the best interests of the plaintiffs, their families, AASA and its wider stakeholders. We continue to work with industry, government and civil society to tackle the many challenges of primary health care in South Africa. Our collective objective is to significantly improve the access and quality of care available to all South Africans as well as ensuring a healthy and safe working environment for all our employees. AASA is just one of a number of companies facing class action litigation in the High Court involving some thousands of former mine workers. This litigation is separate to that brought by the claimants in todays settlement. AASA denies any liability and will continue to defend the class action proceedings.

4 x 4 tourism on Heritage Weekend. This group of local 4 x 4 enthusiasts made good use of the past almost long weekend by driving part of the Ivory Route to Lekgalameetse (Place of Water) Nature Reserve. They departed from the Dilokong Hospital turn-off on the R37 to Polokwane on Saturday, crossed the Olifants River between Moroke and Mafefe and ascended the Strydpoort Mountains to camp and sleep at Mafefe Camp on top of the mountain. There they had a large and important meating (braai) before going to bed. The next day they decended the mountain to Lekgalameetse and returned home via Strydom Tunnel - more photographs on page 4.

Red carpet style for Calvin

Calvin College in Burgersfort hosted their matric farewell on Thursday last week. The glitz and glamour event took place at Hannah Game Lodge near Ohrigstad. The matrics were dressed to kill for the event and teachers had a hard time selecting the best dressed ones. They dined on a three course meal and had some fun in front of the cameras. Speeches were kept to a minimum to give the learners a chance to enjoy their look and evening.

Learners were announced as they entered the hall. Delicious food was served at the function.

Dresses with open backs were very popular.

School principal, Ms Lorraine Britz wished the learners all the best and urged them to make the most of every day and opportunity as you are never sure what tomorrow may bring.

Between courses the music helped the matrics feel the rhythm in their party dresses. Photographs were also taken during the breaks.

Into the mountains

Twenty two vehicles carried a group of 50 4x4 enthusiasts onto the African Ivory Route and into Lekgalameetse last weekend. The group braved a cold wind during the night on the mountain. A big fire kept spirits high and the group rested, despite some forgotten items that made for some overnight discomfort. The route is rough and stretch over reserve areas through Limpopo. It is beautiful through the valleys with waterfalls and forests. On Sunday the group turned home after deciding to take on the Downs another time. The aim of the weekend was not to test vehicles, but to enjoy the beauty on Greater Tubatses doorstep.

Glencore reaches out

On 19 September Glencore Eastern Mines in conjunction with the Department of Health and other stakeholders hosted a wellness outreach programme at Batubatse Primary School. This was part of the Integrated School Health Programme of the Department of Health. Talks on nutrition, oral health and eye care was part of the programme. Learners also performed items and received gifts that included things like toothpaste and toiletry bags.

Wildevy Manne se skenkings help bejaardes

Die Wildevy Manne, n nie-winsgewende organisasie in Burgersfort samel fondse deur projekte soos die Wildevy 4x4 Gesinsdag in. Hierdie jaar het hulle die Randfontein Vriendskaps Tuiste as een van die instansies aan wie hulle gaan hulp verleen gedentifiseer. Die tehuis het n behoefte aan toerusting gehad wat die vir die bejaardes makliker maak om die badkamer te gebruik. Die Wildevy Manne het R5000 aan hulle bewillig en met die hulp van Dischem Krugersdorp is die nodige toerusting in die hande gekry. Dischem Krugersdorp het self ook n bydrae gemaak en skoonmaak produkte by die skenking gevoeg.

Can it be? More germs on

Ever thought about germs on your phone, tablet or iPad? Most of the readers commenting about this weeks topic have not. Researchers in the United Kingdom of England found that some touchscreens on tablet computers and smartphones carry many more germs than a toilet seat. Users leave behind bacteria as they touch and poke their screens without washing their hands. The consumer group Which? found 600 units of the staphylococcus aureus bacteria per swab on a tablet or smartphone. This bacteria create toxins than can in turn cause vomiting and diarrhoea. According to the report the typical toilet seat has a count less than 20 of this type of bacteria. The group also found enterobacteria which can include strains of infections E. coli and salmonella. Counts of more than 1000 units of enterobacteria were found per swab on 8 out of 30 tablets tested. The typical toilet seat had less than 10 units per swab. Readers responding to this week question enthusiastically described and sometimes even demonstrated where they carry their cell phones (trouser pockets, shirt pockets, handbags and yes, a bra or two), how they clean them, where the dirt and grime gets stuck and various ways to see whether the instrument is a cause of hygenic concern. Sometimes the cracks in screens were shown to the reporter to indicate where germs could be lurking and in other cases the proud phone owners showed the sparkling condition of their instruments after years of use.

Mr Seloane Sekakola said: I dont clean my phone. If I have to, I just wipe it. I dont know about the germs on the phone though.

Mnr. Wimpie Henning s: Dit kan so wees dat daar meer kieme is. Nee, ek maak nie my selfoon skoon nie. n Mens vat oral en dan aan jou telefoon. Jy was nie jou hande voor jy aan jou foon vat nie.

Ms Thembisile Sekhukhune said: Ja, it can be true that there are more germs. People go to the loo, they scratch everywhere, sneeze and cough and some people just dont wash their hands at all and the germs land on the phone. Yes, I clean mine. I use wet wipes or facial wipes to clean it. I do it two or three times a day. Especially if it gets make-up on it. With her is Bokang.

Mr Collen Mojela and Mr Justice Mashego said: It is impossible! Some of us clean our phones. We also use covers you get for the phones. We clean it weekly with a new cloth. Mr Charles Mafane said: It is not possible! I wipe my phone with a cloth. I think it is dirty but not the same as a toilet seat. The toilet is worse!.

Mr Stanley Marebane said: No, it is not possible that a toilet seat can have less germs than a phone!. No. I never clean my phone unless I cannot see through the screen properly anymore. Then I just wipe the glass with a clean cloth.

Ms Londo Mashau said: I clean mine. I wipe it once in a while when there is make-up on it. I dont think of it as having germs. I dont think it can have more germs than a toilet seat. With her is Andi and Tshedza.

Dr Florence Makgamatha said: I dont clean it. Ms Ntsose Mawela said: I just rub it on my T-shirt once in a while. They both agree: There can be more germs on the phones than on a toilet seat. With them are: Vuyo, Dimpho and Thato.

your phone than throne?

Mr Prince Shongwe said: Yes, there will be more germs on a phone. You clean a toilet after you use it. I clean my cell phone, but it is dirty. We just wipe it. Ms Tshego Matlakala said: I had a cover for my phone and the cover was always dirty. It was a white cover, I did not like the other colours. I even used the Handy Andy thingies to clean it, but it still got so dirty I was ashamed of it. So I just took the cover off. Now I am scared it will fall, but I do have insurance. It is now easier to just use a wet wipe to wipe it off if it gets dirty. It is possible that there can be more germs on a phone. We never think of it like that, but thinking how many times you touch it after not washing your hands...

Mr JP Vorster s: Dis moontlik. n Mens was nie altyd jou hande nie. Nee, ek maak nie my foon skoon nie. Ek hou daarvan om op loud speaker te praat. So die foon is darem die meeste van die tyd nie teen my oor nie, maar hy is nie skoon nie.

Mr Steven Setati said: It is true. People just dont clean their phones or iPads. They put everything on it. After theyve eaten they touch it. When they are from the loo, especially guys, they touch it without washing their hands. I cant see how it gets cleaned. I clean mine but I think I contaminate it as much as I try to clean it. The flat screen phone is better because it is easier to clean and has less places for germs to accumulate than a phone with buttons.

Mnr Japie Trollip s: Ek dink dit is moontlik dat n selfoon meer kieme kan h. Niemand worry nie. As ek na party mense se gereedskap kyk is dit nie snaaks dat hulle selfone vuil is nie. Hulle vat met hulle olie hande oral. My selfoon word skoongemaak met spesiale goed. Links: Mnr. Leon Lombard s: Ek vee my tablet af. My selfoon ook, maar n mens maak dit nie so gereeld skoon nie. Of dit so kan wees oor die kieme op n foon teenoor n toiletsitplek? Ek dink dit hang af van watter toilet dit is. Jou eie huis of n publieke toilet? Publieke toilette is beslis nie skoon nie.

Mr Davies Mbona said: It is very true about the germs. It also depends on the individual. Are you washing your hands after youve been to the toilet? I advise people not to share cell phones. No, I dont clean mine.

Me. Adri van Zyl s: Ja, ek maak myne skoon met wet wipes. My kinders gryp altyd met hul sticky hande my foon. Dit is moontlik dat daar meer kieme op kan wees as op n toiletsitplek.

Mr Ally Malepane said: Ja, it is possible to be so dirty. I clean my phone with toilet paper.

Me. Barbara Lessing s: Ja, dit kan beslis so wees dat daar meer kieme is. Ek vee my foon se gesiggie net af, maar maak dit nie regtig skoon nie. Jy is heeltyd in die stof, soms druk jy hom in jou bra - dis soos geld vuil!

Mr Victor Maesela said: I use tissue paper to clean my phone. I think it is possible that there may be so many germs on a phone. Germs are everywhere. The fact that we use it with dirty hands and we give it to wifes and children to use makes it worse. We share. There is contamination.

Mnr. Gerrie en me. Charmaine Nel s: Ons maak nie die selfone skoon nie. Jy gebruik mos net jou eie telefoon. Dis jou eie kieme. Maar dit is moontlik dat fone baie vuil kan wees. Wat gebeur? Jy sit op die privaat-huisie en werk op jou foon. Charmaine: Soms vee ons dit af met die baba se wet wipes of as dit baie vuil is en ek het die baba op die een heup dan gebruik ek sommer my tong en vee dit dan so aan my klere af.

Dont let the Debt Monster catch you, get help!

Struggling with debt is a stressful thing. If you are feeling that you cannot get out of debt on your own and that you are in too deep, it is time to visit a Debt Counsellor. You will be assisted by the Debt Counsellor to have a debt review. All your monthly bills will have to be put on the table and your monthly income as well. The Debt Counsellor will then assist you to draw up a budget that will still allow for living expenses such as food, petrol and electricity, but will negotiate new repayment terms with the companies you owe money. If necessary the Debt Counsellor will go to court to get an order to assist you with better repayment terms. It is important to note that all may not be lost, as long as you still have an income and act as soon as you realise your debt is spiralling out of control. In many cases people are scared that they will lose their home or car, but this can be prevented if action is taken soon enough and through the right channels. Make sure that the Debt Counsellor you are visiting is registered with the National Credit Regulator as you will be making one payment to them and they will make sure that everyone you owe money gets paid in return. If you are trusting the wrong person, you may end up losing all the money youve paid and still have the debt youve thought is being paid off. You will not be allowed to make any additional debt while you are under Debt Review. Help is at hand and a debt free life is possible - act now! Ms Lynet from Mashifane won a Bicycle. Her prize was handed to her by Ms Tracy Mooko. Mr Cassius Phasha from Burgersfort won a R500 shopping voucher from Tubatse SUPERSPAR. Ms Lethabo Mkhabela handed him the voucher.

Mr Bulelani Zweni from Riba-Cross won a Bicycle. His prize was handed to him by Ms Portia Ntshwane.

Hulle het heerlik spring-kasteel gespring en saam gery wanneer die klub koeldranke iewers op die baan met n gholfkarretjie gaan aflewer. Die organiseerders bedank almal wat gehelp het om van die dag n sukses te maak.
