Premier Mathale Youth ready for
opens Magareng Mine Elections
- stresses mines’ role in
job creation
Steelpport and Burgersfort will greatly
benefit form a R4.9 thousand million capital
investment through the opening and
development of the Magareng Chrome Mine
and the expansion of the Lion Ferrochrome
Smelter.
Opening the mine last week, Limpopo
Premier, Cassel Mathale, said the mine and
the smelter will contribute to towards the job
creation drive that the government has
committed to forge ahead with, in order to
reduce joblessness and poverty among the
people. Mathale stressed that, “the opening
of this mine could not have come at the right
time than when we are all out mobilising the
business community to take the frontline
position in actualising our resolve to create
job opportunities for our people.”
The construction of the smelter is
expected to be completed in 2013 and will
create 1000 permanent jobs and a further 1
800 during the construction phase. The
expansion of the chrome smelter is the
biggest in the world and will produce
360,000 tonnes of chrome per annum.
Meanwhile the Magareng mine will create
600 jobs once it is in full scale operation.
During the opening of the mine Xstrata
Alloys’ Chief Executive, Peet Nienaber, said
more than 2 200 indirect jobs will be created
through the procurement of services and
products from local suppliers. Xstrata
committed to procuring 80 percent of its
products and services from local suppliers
as way of investing in the local economy and
the upliftment of the living conditions of the
local communities. The expansion of the
smelter will utilise Xstrata’s proprietary
energy-efficient Premus technology that
consumes approximately a third less
electricity than other available smelting
technologies.
Premier Mathale emphasised that the
mines must be the main contributors to the
course of environmental protection. “It is
important that mining operations must not
disrupt farming operations by damaging the
land, or polluting water, which is a scarce
resource in our province. We are also urging

The Limpopo’s National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) is planning to work
tirelessly in getting youth to be ready for the coming local government elections.
This follows the low recent voters’ registration number which the NYDA believes
can be improved.
The independent Electoral Commission (IEC) reports that 53.7 percent of young
people aged 20 - 29 in the country have registered to vote in the next coming Local
Government elections, and that this year elections has seen an increase of 6 percent of
voting stations in the country.

1,98-million tonnes of ferrochrome a year.
Merafe Chief Eexecutive Officer, Stuart
Elliot, told Mining Weekly says that chrome
is high on the agenda of the government’s
2011 priorities to adopt beneficiation as a
strategy in order to ensure that South Africa
reaps the benefit of its mineral endowment.
Three million tons of unbeneficiated raw
chrome ore left South Africa for China in
2010. “We continue to lobby DMR as well as
Treasury to restrict chrome ore that is
exported without being beneficiated,” Elliot
says. “As long as everyone comes to the
party, and they are not severely prejudiced,
we believe that we can find a solution that is
amicable to everyone,” Elliot says. The three
million tons a raw chrome ore that was
exported from South Africa last year is
sufficient to produce a million tons of
ferrochrome.
“The most important aspect is that if we
continue to export ore, South African
ferrochrome producers are going to come
under pressure from a cost point of view and
we’re going to lose jobs,” is Merafe’s view,
linking beneficiation and job creation. “You
can’t look at them in isolation,” Elliot says.

The trend to shrink the packaging is however
not local, it is happening all over the world.
An article printed in the renowned US
consumer publication, Consumer Reports
tackled this issue. The writer comments: “No
one likes a price hike, but what riles readers
are the ways manufacturers hide their
handiwork: indenting the bottom of containers
(a favourite trick among peanut butter
processors), making plastic wraps thinner, or
whipping ice cream so that you pay for air

We asked readers how they experienced this

Ms Bonni McKinley said: “We have no choice.

Clash at Moroke Maatlopo United and Tubatse United

eventually met again on Saturday last week.
The game started slowly with the first goal
only scored in the 60th minute. Thapelo
Moropane from Maatlopo United netted this
goal. Ten minutes later Abel Mashabela
increased the score with a beautiful header.
Trevor Mohlala sealed the victory by netting
a goal after collecting a good pass from Abel
in the 80th minute.
The final score was 3-0 in favour of Maatlopo
United. Maatlopo United is still one point
behind Tubatse United on the log.
The Man of the Match was Abel Mashabela
for his overall good play.
“We are happy to collect these much needed
points from the log leaders, especially at this
crucial time on the log. This was a message
to Tubatse United that going to provincial
play-offs is not as easy as eating pap and
vleis,” said Mr. Jimmy Makola, the team’s
spokeman.
The game was poorly supported as most
soccer enthusiasts were watching the Chiefs
and Pirates game on television.
This week Maatlopo United will play against
Mooihoek Real Touch at Driekop.
