ASA Metals is committed to uplift the communities in
the areas it is operating in. One of ASA Metals core
values is Care, whereby the company continuously
develop people holistically in all areas.
ASA Metals main objective is to develop the quality
of education for learners as a long term investment
in order to create a pool where to draw skilled labour
from in the future, thus their intension to fund schools
for educational development.
Burgersfort remains one of ASA Metals important
labour sending areas, with a remarkable number of
employees living there. The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR)M statement to the mines recommends
that areas from where employees are coming and do
contribute to the companys production, need to be
developed even if it is outside the radius that the company covers in terms of Social Development initiatives.
Therefore the company decided to donate an
amount of R200 000 to Laerskool Burgersfort. According to the Principal, Mr Coert Erasmus, this money will
be utilised towards the completion of new classrooms
which are much needed to accommodate the huge
demand of new learners.

Your opinion about load shedding

Eskom this week again warned South Africans that load shedding may be necessary as
the country is vulnerable to faults in the electrical supply system, especially during times
of extra load.
They called on customers to switch off geysers, air conditioners, pool pumps and all
non-essential items during the day.
Eskom do load shedding (switching off supply to certain areas for a few hours at a time)
in different stages. Stage 1 allows for up to
1000MW of the national load to be cut, stage
2 for up to 2000MW and stage 3 for up to
4000MW. On Tuesday this week Eskom started with stage 1 cuts but later escalated it to
stage 2.
Platinum Gazette asked readers if theyve experienced any recent load shedding and how
they cope with this.

Mr. Johannes Riba said: Ive experienced it

where I stay. It is not good. I have extra lights
that we charge and use when the lights go
out. We save electricity by switching almost
everything off.

Mr. Thabang Skhonza, Ms. Alonia Machubeng and Mr. Rollen Mashego said: We dont have back-up plans for when the electricity goes
out. When it comes to where we work. We lose customers because of
load shedding. Government must really do something. Away with load
shedding! We try to save by switching off the geyser in the day. We do
our part to save electricity.

Mr. Moses Maile said: When there

is no electricity we use paraffin,
coal and fire to cook. It is dangerous. We struggle without electricity. We switch off geysers and other
things, so we are trying to save
where we can.

Mr. Walter Mokoena said: Yes, sure Ive experienced it. It is not good. If each and every
user save just 10% by switching off their geysers and appliances that are not in use it will
be better. I keep candles as a back up. I experienced load shedding very badly in 2008
in Johannesburg. Here it is a rural area and
we can use wood and the three-legged pot to
cook. I think the load shedding here has only
started.

Right: Mr. Thaba

Sole said: In the
workplace it is affecting us. When
there is no electricity the smoke
extractors are not
working. We are
also losing customers while the rent is
staying the same.
We are losing. Ive
not really experienced it at home.
When I leave in the
morning I switch off
my geyser we are
trying to help Eskom.

Mnr. Thabo Mongadi s: Dit gebeur baie by

die werk maar nie by my huis nie. As dit gebeur is die besigheid sleg en kan die mense
nie werk nie.
Left: Mr. Mzamani Baloyi said:
Yes, Ive experienced it. It is
frustrating. Eskom must give
us the electricity we want because we suffer
damages if there
is no electricity.
I want them to
warn me when
there will be no
electricity.
Right: Mr. Willy Seloane said: The businesses are suffering. Children cannot use the computers at school so now they will fail. There is
nothing we can do.

Mnr. Gerrie van Vuuren s: n Generator is

seker al oplossing wat ons nou het. Dis maar
moeilik. By die besigheid kan n mens nie regtig spaar nie en by die huis is dit maar normale
elektrisiteitsverbruik.

Ms. Lerato Tjie, Ms. Nadia de Jager and Mr. Bongani Phephenyane
said: At work we experience it. It is hard. People come in and just start
using the computer and then the power goes off. It is frustrating us a
lot. Nadia added: At home we also experience it. It is usually off between 18:00 and 21:00 and then you have to make plans to cook. We
try to save electricity. We have timers on our geysers and it only comes
on at night for a few hours.

Left: Mr. Benny

Mnisi said: It affects our working
environment. Our
equipment, air conditioners,
fridges
and other things
dont work. How will
be we pay our rent if
there is no business
because there is no
power?
Left: Mr. Victor Morena said: There is no solution. The people of messed up Eskom so badly that there is no money now to fix anything.
We prepare for this by having candles and
paraffin handy.

Mr. David Mndawu said: It is happening. It

is frustrating. It happens when you work or
shower and suddenly you stand in the dark.
They should do load shedding during the day
and keep it on during peak hours. I am not
always prepared. The shops also close when
there is no electricity.
Right: Mr. Patrick
Mnisi said: It happened to me. It
is just gone without them letting
us know. I keep
candles, but it is
inconvenient. It is
hot here and our
fridges
defrost.
Government must
work with Eskom
to fix this.

Mr. Frederick Lesinya and Mr. John Ngwane

said: We are not that much affected. When
there is no power it is just back to the old
school way of life. We try to save by unplugging things during the day not just to help
Eskom, but because electricity is so expensive.

Ms. Joana Mnisi and Ms. Smilly Malapane

said: It affect us at our work. We lose a lot
of customers. We do get notice of the power
cuts, but we are still losing. There is no backup plan. When the electricity is off, the air conditioners are not working and customers dont
want to stay because it is too hot.

Me. ODilhea Keulder en Me. Charmain Janse

van Rensburg s: Load shedding in skole affekteer die kinders se akademiese prestasie.
Skole wat moet water pomp sukkel omdat die
pompe nie werk nie en in die hitte is dit vreeslik. In gevalle waar daar wel air conditioners
in die klasse is, werk dit nie en kinders kry
hitte-floutes. Dit benvloed oor die algemeen
die kwaliteit van werk.

Mr. Jim Nkuna said: At the moment we dont

have much load shedding but R100s worth
of electricity only lasts 3 days. We only have
the fridge, TV and lights on. It is becoming too
expensive.
Regs: Mnr. Petrus Molopo s: Eskom en die ANC eet saam die geld
wat vir die opgradering en opwekking van krag moes gaan. Die mense
steel ook baie krag by Eskom en as
die polisie hulle net sal vang sal dit
beter gaan. Load shedding is sleg.

Ms. Florence Makgeru said:

Its a problem. They dont
properly notify people. There
is no solution. Government
must work hard to employ
those who have the knowledge to fix this. With her is
Ms. Lydia Maleka.

Tubatse Masters still undefeated

Last week Saturday the Tubatse Masters
soccer team continued their impressive run in
a friendly soccer match against Rhee United
FC at Praktiseer.
The game was played in hot temperatures
above 35 degrees celcius and both teams
were looking tired. There was not much
attacking and the battle was in the middle of
the park where Relly Mmola former Mahwelereng Real Rovers star was a marvel to
watch with skillful ball passes. The youthful
Rhee United players had some difficulty
closing him down. The Masters showed their
never die attitude and forced the game into
a deadlock of 0-0 at half time.
The two teams returned with fresh legs
in the second half and in the 60th minute
Stanley Maroga gave the Masters the lead.
The teams were now attaching and the game
gained some energy. in the 75th minute
Mashudu Netshilidzi poked a lose ball past
Rhee United goalkeeper to make 2-0 full time
score. The Tubatse Masters remain unde-

feated in 2015.
