“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion,kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievancesyou may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues puton love, which binds them all together in perfect unity”.Colossians 3:12-14 (NIV)

The photograph above was taken from a viewpoint overlooking Burgersfort. It was taken last week asthunder clouds started gathering after a sweltering few days.

Home(s)with aview

Residents of Buffelshoek had to relocate dueto construction of the De Hoop Dam.Lengthy negotiations originally stalled someof the construction work of the dam. Thiscoupled with striking workers delayed theoriginal completion date.The new homes are nearing completion andwill provide them with an excellent view ofthe dam. They are just some of the hopefulresidents close to the dam hoping to benefitfrom tourism and other spin-offs from thedam.The houses can be seen from the R555when travelling to Roossenekal.

Hawkers growingimpatient

The hawker stalls under construction in Praktiseer.

Hawkers in Greater Tubatse are eager for their new hawker stalls tobe completed. Construction is underway in Burgersfort andPraktiseer.On 10 June 2014 the Red Ants removed all the hawkers’ illegalstructures to make way for construction of new stalls. Theconstruction of the stalls were expected to be completed within 3 to 6months. It is however progressing much slower. “They told us thatMay 2015 is the new date they will finish,” one hawker told thenewspaper this week. “We hope so, but we’ll have to wait and see”.

Progress and decayGood news first. Dirk Winterbach Street is getting amake-over with new sidewalks currently beingconstructed near the taxi rank and opposite BurgersfortMall.

The bad news? Despite millions being spend on fixing potholesand painting new road markings in Burgersfort, some roads arelooking like this. Residents complain that regular passengervehicles can barely negotiate these obstacles.

Roads like the cross at ElandStreet and Dirk WinterbachStreet was fixed in Decemberbut are already littered withpotholes again. Thissignificantly impacts on thetraffic flow through town - notto mention the traffic lightsthat are still out of order.


Hey, you needto stop!

Construction on the R555 throughSteelpoort is well underway. This has alsoresulted in an alternative route next to theoriginal road that is currently being re-constructed. The alternative route is now

sporting some new signage - a stop street.At the turn-off towards Winterveld and RibaCross there is now a four way stop.Motorists are asked to be aware of this andobey the new rules for everyone’s safety.

Sport centre progressingConstruction of the sport centrein Ohrigstad has resumed andthe area is a hive of activity.This centre will not bededicated to Ohrigstad only butserve a s base from whichlarge events can be staged inthe future. It will featurefacilities for various sportingcodes such as soccer, rugbyand netball. The developmentof this facility is part of the longterm development plans ofGreater Tubatse Municipality.


After numerous enquiries during the past week, PlatinumGazette must state that the newspaper’s Beánnla Celliers diddrive the Opel Adam last week as stated in the publishedadvertorial (photograph not posed).Praises have a limit, so the editor cut her contribution to thearticle very short. After driving from Glencore/Merafe’s Lionsmelters, she declared that it was a fantastic little car, withvery sharp and precise steering (not to talk of the brakes) afterdodging the potholes between the Eerstegeluk/Lannex crossand the Samancor Chrome Tubatse smelter.She said “I prefer the company’s small Japanese 4 x 4 in thisarea as a daily commute because of the sometimeschallenging terrain and the places I must go for my work. Butin a city, the Adam will be a strong contender (in blue).”Contact Westvaal Steelpoort if you are interested. Tel: 013230 9230.(The editor took the photograph while she was driving. Hereally felt safe, it is an excellent car and she is a first classdriver)

Eve did JoshuaGeneration’sfirst timers

At both the Steelpoort and Burgersfort campuses of JoshuaGeneration learners started school for the first time last week.They were not afraid of this new journey and were all smiles asthey started their twelve year journey for basic education.(Information & photographs: Joshua Generation).


This year the ANC celebrated their 103rd

birthday with a big bash in Cape Town. ANCsupporters painted Cape Town stadiumyellow, black and green in celebration.Journalists and important people form mediahouses were also there to witness thehappenings. Karima Brown, GroupExecutive Editor of Independent NewspaperGroup even posted a picture posing withveteran journalist and Group Editor ofOpinion and Analysis, Vukani Mde alldressed up in ANC regalia on social media.The two were not at the event to report onthe proceedings.This sparked wide controversy both in themedia industry and outside. Last year theIndependent Newspaper Group firedDonwald Pressly for seeking political officewith the Democratic Alliance. He was ajournalist working for Business Report. Thegroup sited “a breach of IndependentNewspapers’ editorial code of conduct andcode of ethics and a breach of trust thatthose readers place in our titles and thewriters who put them together” as thereason. Although many noted that there is abig difference between seeking politicaloffice and wearing political attire, many feelthat journalists should try to remain onneutral ground to keep the credibility of theirpublications above board. “Journalists arehuman and by nature gravitate towardsspecific ideologies and ways of thinkingshaped by a myriad of influences andfactors. We are not blank slates. Ultimately,however, our job is to monitor and to holdpower to account – whatever its colours,”Marianne Thamm, an opinion writer for theDaily Maverick said. The IndependentNewspaper Group owned by Iqbal Survé’sSekunjalo Consortium has been viewed bymany as particularly vocal in its support forthe ANC. The question was raised whetherthe management of IndependentNewspapers would be fine with a journalistattending an EFF event or DA gathering inthose parties’ regalia?Platinum Gazette asked readers what theythink about this.

Mnr. Ryno en Me. Christa de Jager sê: “Hulle het vir hulself ‘n gat gegrawe. Nou gaan ‘nmens twee keer dink om te glo wat hulle skryf. Hulle moet onpartydig bly”.

Mr Joel Ngwane, Mr Sylvester Mahlake, Mr Sipho Molobela and Mr Norman Mnisi said: “It istheir freedom of choice what to wear, but we won’t trust what they write”.

Mr Walter Nzimande said: “They mustexpress where they stand politically. Thenwe will know how to view it when they writeabout that party”.

Mr Richard Agim said: “Journalists arehuman. They as South Africans have rights.They have political affiliations. It is hypocrisyto think that they should not wear political T-shirts. There is nobody who doesn’t belongto a political party. Journalists write the truthand they can only do that if they are honestabout what party they belong to. It doesinfluence the way they write, but when weknow their political affiliation and theydeclare it we know how biased it will be”.

Links: Me JoyceKomane en MeThandi Moriri sê:“Nee, nee! Hullemoenie wys watterparty hulleondersteun nie. Dansal ons nie glo wathulle skryf nie.Mense in die mediamoet altyd gewoonaantrek”.

Left: Mr ArabiaMohlala and MrEnos Makwana said:“They will be fair nomatter what they arewearing. Journalistsare professionalpeople and theyshould be allowed towear political partyT-shirts if they wantto”.

Ms Lucy Nkosi, Ms Anna Serage and Ms Anna Mashego said:“Journalists should always wear the clothes of the party whoseevent they are attending. The party whose function it is must givethe journalists their T-shirts to wear”.

Mr Killian Sibanda said: “They must stopwearing political clothes. The reason is theirown safety. People can be offended if theysee you belong to a specific party while youshould be neutral”. With him is Tshepo.

Left: Mr SiphoMakola and MrJacob Mohlalasaid: “The mediashould be close tothe ANC becausewe need to knowwhat is happeningon the inside.Journalists andthe media shouldbe neutral. Don’twear politicalattire anywhere orwe won’t trustyou”.

Does it really matter what


Mr Trinity Magabe and Ms Damaris Magabe said: “It is totally wrong.Not acceptable at all. Maybe they are being bribed? They are thenjournalists and media that is one with the ANC. This means thateven if the ANC is doing wrong, they will not fully expose or criticiseit”. With them is Success.

Mr Tsietsi Lehloo said: “They should be ableto wear anything. They were celebrating theANC’s birthday. Straight and forward”.

Ms Kully Ntsong and Ms Lindiwe Shai said: “They should be neutral.They should wear normal clothes. They will not be fair if they areabsorbed by wearing political clothes”.

Mr Speed Kgwetianesaid: “They must notwear political T-shirts, even if theybelong to the party.People will thinkthey take sideswhen reporting. It islike soccer referees.The referee likessoccer, but cannottake sides – he mustbe fair not matterwhat team hesecretly supports.People will not trustwhat you write andsay you are not fairif you wear politicalattire. It will benegative for thenewspaper becausepeople not belongingto the party will loseinterest in it”.

Ms Lettie Lesele said: “Journalists shouldwear neutral clothes when they are at workand in the public eye. At home they canwear what they want”.

Mr Johannes Phiri said: “During workinghours media houses should give theirpeople uniforms to wear. After work they canwear political clothing”.

Mr Goodman Goloda said: “It’s worryingbecause the media must be neutral. Theymust control themselves and not be overexcited at such events. They have aresponsibility to society and the people mustbe able to believe what their publicationswrite”.

Mr Dumisa Madalane said: “I’m not surewhat exactly transpired in Cape Town.South Africa is a democratic country andanyone can do what they want withoutprejudice. Journalists have the same fullrights like everyone. When they are on dutythey should be neutral, but when away fromwork they can wear what they want. HelenZille was a journalist before she became apolitician. She displayed her interestsoutside her job. She was a political partymember, but did not publicise it”.

Mr Jeremiah Maalakano said: “They shouldbe neutral. If they give information they willbe influenced by the party whose clothesthey wear. They will favour those parties”.

Mr Jerry Mnisi andMr FrederickLesinya said:“They should notbe allowed to wearpolitical clothing.They should beidentifiable asmedia people. Wewon’t trust them ifthey are in politicalattire”.

Right: Ms JaneMokoena, MsLebogang Mothomi,Mr Mahlake Ngoatleand Ms MammitjieMaphakge said: “No,it’s not ok for peoplefrom the media towear political clothes.Journalists shouldnever favour politicalparties. They mustbe impartial andremember thatinformation andpolitics are not onlyabout the ANC”.

Mr Lucky Mzimba said: “Journalists mustwear clothes that show who they areworking for. It shows they are professional.They should not ever wear political T-shirts”.

Mr Vincent Sekgobela said: “They must beneutral. They work with all the differentpolitical parties. They should not show theirinterest in specific political parties. If theywear political attire the people will know themedia house or journalists are not from theirparty and see what they write that way”.
