We don’t ... ... need this madness. We do need a better traffi c setup. This ‘alternative’ road had to do in last week Friday’s month end chaos, and if there were traffi c people on duty, the news-paper only saw one ... See p 3 for more of the chaos and yes, total disregard for order and traffi c rules. A not so happy free for for all!

Steel producer Evraz Highveld Steel and Vanadium (which includes susidiar, Mapoch’s Mine at Roossenekal) is one step closer to an-nouncing a preferred bidder to buy the business, which is currently under business rescue.

Business rescue practitioners met with creditors this week and said a rescue plan would be published later this month.

The practitioners said said there were three offers for Evraz Highveld. Bidders were a mix of international interests and domestic groups, including empowerment entities, he said.

Publication of a business rescue plan set for August 31 had been pushed out to mid September.

Creditor payments would be detailed in the plan. In April Evraz Highveld went into voluntary business rescue and in July said it planned to retrench up to 1 089 employees.

A message of hope

Sizzy Mnisi (23) from Gara-gopola Village in Driekop is a local HIV ambassador.

She took the opportuni-ty Women’s Month brought to talk to women at local creches.

Sizzy was raped as a young girl and got infected with the virus, but has tak-en every opportunity in life to make a difference.

The events as the creches included talks on taking care of yourself, to not abuse SASSA Cards and staying away from al-cohol, drugs and cigarettes. Sizzy encouraged the women to know their status and make use of condoms, but also teach their children about HIV. She encouraged HIV positive people to get in contact with her as many people lack an emotional support network.

Her number is 072 780 1243.

The Tubatse Police Station in Praktiseer had to defend itself against an angry mob from Alverton village outside Burgersfort on Monday when people stormed the station and demanded that two men who were allegedly involved in a service delivery protest, be freed.

According to the Police community members from Alverton barri-caded the road to the village on Monday at about 02:30. They also burned tyres in what is thought to be a service delivery protest.

The police attended the scene and two men were taken for ques-tioning. Thereafter Police managed to escort the protesters to Munici-pal offi ces in Burgersfort to hand over a memorandum to the Mayor.

After the hand-over, Police escorted them back to Alverton. After the Police left them in Alverton, surprisingly the villagers drove to Tu-batse Police station and attempted to attack the Police, demanding the release of the two men.

The Police had to use the rubber bullets to disperse the villagers inside the SAPS premises and they managed to arrest 8 suspects (3 males and 5 females) . The two men were released after preliminary investigations of the police didn’t link them with a crime.

The 8 arrested suspects appeared in the Praktiseer Magistrates court on Wednesday and they were granted bail of R300 each. Their case was postponed to 7 October 2015 for further investigation.(Information and photograph: Constable Jerial Mvundlela - SAPS
