“NSPCAscratchesimaginary itch”

PigeonRacingnow

Illegal?

– “They are scratching an imaginary itch.” This is the unanimous opinion of pigeon farmers Platinum Weekly spoke to regarding the announcement by the Na-tional Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NSPCA) that pigeon racing is outlawed. This follows after the publication of the Department of Water and Environmental Affairs’ Invasive and Alien Spe-cies List in the Government Gazette of 1 August this year. Pigeons are listed, which means activities including the importing, breeding, trading in and translocation of pi-geons are prohibited.In a press release on Wednesday 22 October, the NSP-CA said the prohibition includes the “releasing of any specimen of a listed invasive species, which effectively means it is now illegal to release pigeons to race or to use them as homing pigeons.”Pigeon racing is a multi-million rand industry. The sport is more than 100 years old.People in the industry estimate the number of pigeon farmers in the country to be more than 6 000.“More than half of them employ full-time workers to help with exercise sessions and to take care of the pigeons,” Mr Dawie Stoman of Lichtenburg, a pigeon farmer him-self, told the Platinum Weekly.According to Mr Chris Stoop, champion of the Platinum Specialist Racing Pigeon Union and the Rustenburg sec-tion, “Some of the biggest pigeon farmers employ up to 14 workers. If you kill the industry, they are unemployed.”Mr Stoop employs a full-time helper and spends about R6 000 per month on his pigeons. “We buy feed, medicine

and fuel. There are people who make a living from pigeon racing. They sell feed and medicine and build breeding boxes. He added, “My 160 pigeons go to the veterinary surgeon once a year to be tested for diseases.”Mr Jan Venter, chairman of the Rustenburg Homing Pi-geon Club, says they will wait for their mother organisa-tion, the South African National Pigeon Organisation, to take this up with the NSPCA. “We take better care of our pigeons than some people do of their children. There are lots of rules for the sport, which is popular all over the world.”He said the NSPCA better start building coves if pigeon farmers are not allowed to race their pigeons anymore. “We will have only two choices; give the pigeons to them to take care of in the manner they are used to, or kill them.”As to the NSPCA’s concerns regarding the dangers of racing to the pigeons, Mr Stoop said his pigeons partici-pated in 36 races this year and only 10 got lost. “They could have been caught by vultures, but that is nature. We do not race in extreme or dangerous weather condi-tions.”Just before Platinum Weekly went to print,the department announced that they met with specialists, and reached an

-cant impact on the feral pigeon invasion.“The numbers are reasonably low in relation to the exist-ing invasions, to the extent that it is possible to provide exemption for the racing pigeon activities,” the depart-ment said.

NUMSA member in court after attack

Brits/ Sun City – Three Chinese tourists returning to Johannesburg from a visit to Sun City were killed and 17 suffered vari-ous levels of injuries in an accident be-tween their bus and a Toyota Raider last Wednesday afternoon (15 Oct), on the R556 Road at Bareseba in Brits – about 50km from Sun City.The Chinese Embassy said in a statement the group of 20 tourists and their Chi-nese tour guide from Walk Through Africa Tours (WTAT) had been on a six-day tour of South Africa and arrived in the country

from Beijing on Wednesday morning. Ac-cording to information, two tourists died on the scene of the accident and another while being airlifted to Johannesburg by rescue helicopter. At least three passengers were severely injured and also airlifted to Johan-nesburg while some of the others were sent to nearby hospitals, according to Pan Peng of the Chinese Embassy.Witnesses to the accident which occurred about 50 km from Sun City, said the driver of bakkie collided with the minibus while overtaking and alleged that he was un-

der the influence of alcohol. He sustained only slight injuries. Tourism Minister Derek Hanekom said on Friday, “We are truly sad-dened by this tragic accident. On behalf of the government and people of South Africa, I would like to extend our sincere condo-lences and sympathy to the families and friends of those who have passed on”. Ac-cording to the minister, China is South Afri-ca’s fourth largest long-haul tourist market.North West MEC for community safety and transport management, Gaoage Molapisi, deplored the rate of road accidents, say-

ing the country can ill afford the human resources and money it is losing through these fatalities. This particular accident was especially unacceptable as it occurred only hours after the transport minister launched the annual transport month. “It is for this reason that our plans are going to focus on road safety education, engaging and encouraging our road users to be more vigilant and patient at all times,” Molapisi said, conveying his condolences to the be-reaved families and wishing the injured a speedy recovery.

Rustenburg – A 21 year-old man appeared before the Rustenburg Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 20 Oct, for al-legedly murdering Kamogelo Letlhathi (21) on Saturday, 18 October at about 03:20 in Boitekong, Rustenburg. According to the information received, the suspect chased the victim, alleging that the victim robbed him. It is further-more alleged that the suspect stabbed the victim in the chest with a knife, leading to his death at the scene. The suspect was arrested. According to Sgt. Kelebogile Moleko, police spokesperson, the investigation continues.

Sun City – A man (37) appeared before the Mogwase Magistrates’ court on Monday 20 October after a woman had been found murdered on Saturday 18 October.

18:10 and called the police.Upon arrival, the police discovered the decomposed body that had been tied up with ropes. There was a knife next to her body. The suspect was arrested shortly after.

Mahikeng – The gruesome murder of a wom-an, her one year-old daughter and unborn baby on 12 January this year, on Tuesday (21 Oct 2014) resulted in two life sentences for Zimbabwean Samuel Ndlovu (32) in the North West High Court in Mahikeng.

Colonel Sabata Mokgwabone said this week police in January responded to a call in Blydeville, near Lichtenburg, where they found the bloody bodies of Jenaline van Rooyen (23), her one year-old daughter and her unborn baby.

The investigation revealed that the foetus was removed from the mother’s body and its throat slit with a knife. Ndlovu was arrested shortly

Zukiswa Mbombo, provincial police commis-

dedication leading to these sentences, say-ing, “We really appreciate the efforts of our members and at the same time hope the sen-tences will send a clear message to potential criminals that we will ensure that those who commit crimes, are successfully prosecuted”.

Swartruggens – The Swartruggens Regional Court on Tues-day, 21 Oct, sentenced Johannes Tsietsie Molebatsi (19) to 18 years’ imprisonment on account of murder, Colonel Sabata Mokgwabone reported.Molebatsi was arrested after stabbing 17 year-old Bapaletse Lamola to death during an argument in the Borelelo location of Swartruggens in October 2012. Molebatsi was also declared

no 60 of 2000.Commending the police for their dedication during the inves-tigation, North West police commissioner Lieutenant General Zukiswa Mbombo expressed her appreciation for the efforts of the SAPS, saying the sentence will send a clear message to potential criminals that they will be successfully prosecuted.

Rustenburg – A man (33) appeared in the Bafokeng Magistrates’ Court in Tlhabane on Wednesday, 22 Oct, on charges of public vio-lence. This is after several assaults and hostage incidents linked to the current wage incre-ment strike by members of National Union of Metal Workers of South Africa (NUMSA) were reported on Friday, 17 October at Glencore mine in Kroondal.

Colonel Sabata, police spokesperson said it is alleged that non-striking miners were as-saulted with knobkieries and sjamboks by striking employees who also forced the vic-tims to join the strike. According to the in-formation available at this stage, one of the victims is in a critical condition in the George Mkhari hospital in Ga-Rankuwa with severe head injuries which he sustained when he was hit with a knobkierrie.

In one of the incidents reported, a husband who was dropping off his wife at work and his wife were allegedly forced from their vehicle, assaulted and forced to join the strike whilst in severe pain. They were only released at the end of the picketing.Major General William Mpembe, commander of the Rustenburg Cluster, condemned the strikers’ criminal acts. “The police cannot be expected not to intervene while the rights of

non-striking workers are being violated. While we are doing our best to safeguard lives and properties, we will also bring all violations to the attention of the Human Rights Commis-sion to ensure that the interest of justice is served.”The investigation into the matter continues and more arrests are imminent. The suspect will remain in custody until Tuesday, 28 Octo-ber, for a formal bail application.

First fatality at Wesizwe’s Bakubung Platinum Mine

Rustenburg – Shaft sinking op-erations on the main and ventila-tion shafts at the Bakubung Plati-num Mine site near Rustenburg had been temporarily halted after the death of a contract worker on

Friday last week (17 Oct), pending the outcome of a full investigation to determine the cause of the incident presented to the department of mineral resources.JSE-listed Wesizwe Platinum announced on Monday this week that its

-erations at the bottom of the shaft where broken rock was loaded and

Wesizwe said in a statement, “From a preliminary investigation carried out immediately following the accident, the cause of the accident is a

striking the contractor who was working at the bottom of the mine shaft”.Wesizwe’s Bakubung Platinum Mine is located on the Western limb of

of a twin vertical shaft system – a main shaft and a ventilation shaft – as well as a concentrator plant. The main shaft will have a hoisting capacity

-ated initially from the Merensky reef and once that is depleted, from the

Merensky reef while semi-mechanised or hybrid methods will be used

Concern has been raised regarding the number of fatalities reported in the mining industry this year. Refumane Kanono, a JIC-contracted

Bafokeng Barasimone recently. Just about two weeks earlier, Xadreque Chihungo, a stage hand and shaft sinkers contracted employee, was

killed in a tramming accident at Harmony Gold’s Tshepong mine near Welkom in the Free State and earlier this year, nine mine workers died

Construction Strike on RRT

Corridor

Rustenburg – Min mense kan deesdae met 40 jaar ononderbroke diens by die-selfde werkgewer spog, maar kapt. Piet Reynecke kan. Dié staatmaker van die Tlhabane speurtak het onlangs na 40 jaar en 6 maande diens afgetree. En kan daarop roem dat hy in sy hele loopbaan slegs één keer nie ‘n skuldigbevinding in ‘n saak kon kry nie.Hy het in 1975 klaargemaak by die polisie kollege en is toe uitgeplaas na die veiligheidstak in Pretoria. Hy was sedert 1987 by voertuigdiefstaltakke, eers in Polokwane en daarna in Klerks-

die Rustenburg-tak verplaas is. Daarna is hy na die Rustenburg speurtak ver-plaas en was die afgelope 14 jaar aan die Tlhabane speurtak verbonde.Die één skuldigbevinding wat hom ont-wyk het, was in ‘n saak wat in 1993 in Klerksdorp aanhangig gemaak is. Die verdagtes het die voertuig opgekap en die stukke in die Vaalrivier gegooi. Al wat oorgebly het was die vellings, en dit was nie voldoende vir ‘n skuldigbevind-ing nie.Kapt. Reynecke kom uit ‘n familie van polisiemanne, ‘n mens kan maar sê dis in sy bloed. Sy pa was destyds in die eerste groep van 20 deskundiges wat hul opleiding by die Suid-Afrikaanse Kriminele Buro voltooi het. Hy was ‘n vingerafdruk deskundige. Ook sy broer en swaer is aan die polisiediens ver-bonde.Onder kapt. Reynecke se bevel het die Tlhabane speurtak vier keer die toeken-ning ontvang as speurtak van die jaar in die ou Marico-streek. Daar was 38 takke in die streek.Kapt. Elsabé Augoustides, polisiewoordvoerder, beskryf kapt. Rey-necke as ‘n baie feitelike man. “Hy het

se interne rekenaarstelsels. ‘n Stelsel wat af is, was vir hom geen verskoning nie. Hy het dan Pretoria toe gery en by Hoofkantoor gaan werk.”Dié oupa van drie se toekomsplanne is blykbaar om eers gewoond te raak daaraan om nie meer 06:00 soggens op kantoor te wees nie. Hy was voor-heen getroud met Gina.Hy het vier dogters, Elmarie (33), Lizelle (30), Yolande (27) en Renette (25). Al vier is getroud.

Rustenburg – The strike by construction workers on the RRT infrastructure pro-gramme is not related to the project, but is an internal matter between the contractor MCivils and their employees; as reported by the RRT on 22 October 2014. MMC for Planning and Transport Service, Cllr. Amos Mataboge met with the employ-ees earlier this week to hear grievances and has urged both parties to resolve issues so that the project can proceed effectively. This remains a private sector employer and

-dence that the matter will be resolved.

Local Police warn Hitch-Hikers

Too much tax and too much debt in budget

Rustenburg – The police in North West warn that both travellers and hitch hikers should be careful after re-cent attacks.Col. Sabata Mokgwabone, police spokesperson, says both unsuspecting travellers and hitch hikers have been attacked at various exit routes, at popular hiking spots in Rustenburg, and other towns in the province.In one of the recent cases reported in Rustenburg, the driver of a red Citi Golf offered a lift to a hitch-hiking woman. The latter was subsequently robbed of her cell phone and handbag containing a wallet, bank cards, medical aid card and various credit account cards. She could not identify the suspects and did not take the car’s registration number.Col. Mokgwabone warns that people must always be alert and take precautions.If you become suspicious after hitchhiking, rather ask the driver where they’re going and tell them you are heading elsewhere and turn down the lift if you are in doubt.When hitch hiking, one should take note of or memo-rise the vehicle’s registration number, make, model, and colour before taking a ride and where possible, text this information to a friend or any member of the family. Mokgwabone further said that one should try to choose a car with a single occupant or a couple rather than

getting into a car when all seats are occupied and there is space for one person only. “Regardless of gender, choose wisely; some people have loose hands. It’s more dangerous when you are driving with multiple people.”He cautions that rear doors often have child locks on them, meaning they cannot be opened from the inside. “If you must sit in the back, check the child lock is off before you close the door.”Furthermore, you should keep your bag or backpack in easy reach, so you can grab it if you need to get out fast. “Be prepared to lose it if it is locked in the trunk.”Another safety hint is to take at least some of your valuables like your passport, identity document, wallet, cash and credit cards with you. Keep it under or in your clothes, rather than in your pack. Keep them in differ-ent places, so that if you lose one item, you don’t lose them all at once. “It is a good idea to have your wallet plus two hiding places, an obvious one and a not so obvious one.” He also emphasises that people must know the police emergency number 08600 10111 and anonymous tip-offs Crime Line SMS number 32211. “The safest option is to take your time and go to a public transport at taxi or bus ranks for a reliable and secure mode of transport, especially now that we are building up to the festive season.”

According to trade union Solidarity, as was in the case with his predeces-sor, Pravin Gordhan, Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene’s medium-term budget policy statement tabled in Parliament on Wednesday, 22 Oct, is still based on an unsustainable model of a “de-

mounting government debt and oner-ous taxation. According to Nene, al-most 10,5% of next year’s tax revenue would be spent on debt service costs.According to Paul Joubert, senior eco-nomics researcher at the Solidarity Re-search Institute (SRI), it brings no real tax relief for punch drunk taxpayers; in fact, talk concerning higher taxes now abounds. The budget policy state-

the growth of the South African welfare state, and a disturbing accumulation of government debt can still be observed.The cost of government debt expressed as a percentage of tax revenue has increased steadily since 2008. At the moment, the increase is occurring in an environment of low interest rates,

Should an upswing in interest rates occur, increasingly more government spending would be spent on interest on government loans, and this at a time during which it has become increas-ingly hard for the National Treasury to collect taxes. Joubert emphasised the precarious state of South Africa’s national debt. “Government debt has been rising over the past decade, particularly over the

to R1,8 trillion, not including direct gov-

unsound organisations such as Sanral, Transnet, SAA and Eskom.”Solidarity Press Release

Donations to ease effect of strike

Grace Help Centre Christmas wish list

Rustenburg – The longest and most debilitating strike in the history of the min-ing industry in South Africa ended more than four months ago, but the effects will be long-lasting.In order to help ease the need of people in Rustenburg who are still affected by the strike, Hinterland (a farming input and services company) launched a project. They collected necessities and money, and last week (16 Oct) food parcels

of Pastor Nelson Yankasamy of Siloam Ministries.Mr Mornay Beukes, Manager: Strategic Projects at Hinterland, told Platinum Weekly that donations to the value of R22 000 were received. The value of each food parcel is almost R500. The donations included 50 pairs of shoes.Hinterland is a company formed by the merger of the trading sections of Senwes and Afgri, with 60 branches country wide.

Rustenburg – Contrary to the usual Christmas wish list compiled by most of us, the Grace Help Centre list con-tains no luxuries but mostly consists of everyday items that can neverthe-less make a huge difference in the life of an orphan.Topping the list are disposable nap-pies (Huggies or Pampers) for babies from new-born to 14 kg, baby toilet-

ries such as soap, wet wipes, body wash and bum butter; baby porridge and Purity; baby clothing from new-born to ten years and over as well as toys and bicycles which would mean the world to deprived children.Women in crisis who have become the unfortunate victims of domestic violence, rape and all forms of abuse,

Rustenburg/ Sun City – It is an impossible task -

vourite golf course amongst the over 370 he has designed in 35 countries across the globe. And it becomes an even harder one when he has to choose his favourite in his beloved South Africa.This November, the Lost City Golf Course will, for the second year in succession, stage the Gary Player Invitational presented by Coca-Cola. This charity event forms part of the global Gary Player Invitational series, which is played in the United States, Europe, China, Abu Dhabi, and South Af-rica.“When Africa is in your blood as much as it’s in mine, how can you not feel a special sense of place when you step onto the tee at the Lost City Golf Course? This golf course is so special and unique in its character,” tournament host Gary Player said. “The bushveld atmosphere gives it such a great feel. You’ve got the crocodiles near the 13th green, the incredible bird life, the Pilanesberg mountains overlooking the course – it’s like being in a game reserve. I think, as a showcase of what it’s like to play golf in Africa, we could choose no better course than this and I know our international guests are going to love it.”

Leeus vs HaaieIn Johannesburg word die Haaie geboelie deur die jong hardegat, harde baard en jong honger Leeus ou grote. Die Leeus

behaal ‘n rekord oorwinning oor die Durbaniete en wen verspot maklik 50-20.

Dit is seker ook hoekom die Haaie se selfone wat geborg gaan word, die nuwe

Nokia 5020 genoem gaan word…Geen afbreek moet aan die Leeus se

oorwinning gemaak word nie, maar was die Leeus net te goed, of was die Haaie in alle afdelings net pateties…? Die bestuur van die Haaie sal vinnig sommer ‘n hele

paar plan “F’s” van stapel moet stuur, want die Haaitenk kan nie bekostig om van “rent

a crowd” gebruik te maak nie, blykbaar duur – baie duur.

Die Leeus moet nou Nuweland toe reis om

WP vs Blou BulleWP jou lekke ding!… Vet pret was aan die orde van die dag. Die Kaap was behoorlik weer Hollands en die wynverkope het weer die hoogte in geskiet, en hoekom nie? Die Kapenaars het hulle aartsvyand, die Blou Bulle, sommer drie keer hierdie seisoen van die vloer af laat vreet ou grote. Op Nuweland behaal die Kapenaars op die einde van die dag eintlik ‘n gemaklike

oorwinning oor die Bulle en wen 31-23.Die agterlyn van die WP is kookwater en gaan beslis die verdediging van die

Leeus beproef. Die pak voorspelers van die Leeus is aan die anderkant weer rof en onbeskof en duld nie nonsens nie, ‘n

gesegde uit die kopdokter van Brakpan se kantoor…

Dit is meer as ‘n kwarteeu gelede wat hierdie twee spanne teen mekaar in ‘n

gaan die deurslag hier gee, en wees gewaarsku, hierdie gaan ‘n riller wees. Die game word op die veld gewen, en nie op

die TV skerm nie…Die WP is die gunstelinge, maar met

ramkatte soos Jaco Kriel en Derrick Minnie kan die die groot berg dalk bewe na

Saterdag.

Nag ou grote…


Curriebeker Semi Finale: 2014Pick n Pay Tuscany Mathaithai trail run

Rustenburg – The third annual Mathaithai trail run took place on Saturday 18 Oct at Leb-one II College of The Royal Bafokeng. This year its name had changed to the Pick n Pay Tuscany Mathaithai trail run in honour of one of the major sponsors – Pick n Pay Tuscany.

lege. Several national contenders competed in this gruelling run.At 8:30am the runners of the 10km run were on the starting line ready for their own run. As

drew to the starting line and by 9am the start-

the 5km challenge took off.

Whilst some athletes considered the day a fun run other pursued the “run” with much more vigour than the “fun” and rose to the challenge of striving to better their own times. Whether the fun or the run was the emphasis, the ath-letes all had a great time. The runners were not just limited to the young but the young at heart as well. The oldest contender for the day was Mr Jo-han Rossouw who competed in the 10km race and ended the day with a skip in his step and a smile on his face, proof once more that a healthy lifestyle is a happy lifestyle. Whilst the runners were criss-crossing up the mountains and down the veld, their supporters were enjoying the hospitality of the organis-ers with a few lovely stalls serving everything

boerewors rolls for breakfast. All told, it was a wonderful event and beautifully orchestrated by Herme Visser and Sean Lindsay. First to

Phillip Molefe. For the veterans, the winners in the 25kms were Johnny Taung followed a few moments later by Mazu Ndanani with Cobus Liacos in the 3rd place. The 5km run had a bit of a “de-tour” as several runners took a wrong turn in the Magaliesburg and ended up doing approxi-

-ish line. As a result no single individual could be crowned as winner of the 5km run but as a token of good sportsmanship the organiser decided to reward all the contenders.
