Mnr. Marius de Bruyn s: Dis goed om te kyk watse skills hulle het en om hulle te train. As hulle ge-train is, sal dit natuurlik al n verskil maak. Daar is baie van die staatsdiens mense wat nie hul werk goed kan doen nie, bv. daar is baie SAPD-lede wat nie die wette ken nie.
Mr Frans Mokgotho said: It is a good thing. This government here with us - the municipality - there are no people doing their job properly. They must fire them and bring in new ones who will be able and willing to do the work.
Mr Kabelo Molapo said: It is a very, very good thing. Many young people would like to be teachers and will work hard so fire those who dont want to work.
Mnr. Lazarus Makofane s: Hulle moet kyk na die mense se stres. Dit kan nie altyd stres wees nie, maar dit kan soms maak dat mense nie werk nie.
Mr Leaf Malatjie said: All lazy people must be fired, get the right people who can do the job! At the end of the day production is low because of those lazy people.
Mr Botsana Legodi said: Yes, I think thats the right thing to do. Like the municipality, they just dont respond. Check the way our tar roads look. There are also teachers who go around in school hours while they should be teaching.
Mnr. Andr van Wyk s: Ek glo nie die plan sal werk nie. Voor jy sien is nog n jaar verby en het niks verander nie.
Mnr. Leon Kotze en me. Erika Kotze s: n Skills audit is n baie goeie ding. As die uitslae van die audit reg gebruik word en reg gemplementeer word, kan dit n groot verskil maak. Waar opleiding nodig is moet hulle dit gee en die audit sal wys waar dit nodig is. Hulle moet ook ouens in poste plaas waar hulle hoort of skuif tot waar hulle vaardighede beter gebruik sal kan word.
Ms Mokgadi Mamabolo said: That should have been done a long time ago. If you dont work you cannot get paid. You should be paid for work done. If they will also be retraining people it will be good.
Mnr. Danie van Jaarsveld s: Seeing is believing. In ons regering is wat hulle s en wat hulle doen twee verskillende goed. As dit werk sal dit goed wees.

Mr Jankie Mkhondo said: Government committed a mistake by removing inspectors from schools. So teachers know nobody is checking on them. They must bring inspectors back. Once they employ people they must make sure they have the right qualifications from the start and will be able to do the work. It will be a good thing this audit and everything that goes with it, but dont just dismiss people. If people know someone is looking at them with a sharp eye, they will perform.
Me. Zenta Enslin s: Dis n goeie ding, hulle moet van al die slegte appeltjies ontslae raak. As hulle bereid is om te leer sal dit dalk help, maar as hulle hardegat is, laat hulle gaan.
Mr Lawrence Dlamini said: That is the way. If it does not work, get rid of them. Get people who are willing to work. We are getting nowhere with people who dont want to work and play their part. It is fair to do an audit on their skills and act accordingly.
Me. Ashley Briel s: As jy opleiding het en jy gebruik dit nie, is dit reg as hulle van jou ontslae raak. Dan kry ander soos die jeug ook n kans en hulle is dalk beter.
Mr Teenage Shai said: They have to train them. Many fail to do their jobs because they lack skills. Government must get rid of those who are just lazy.
Mr Doctor Masinga said: They must not just fire them. They must move them somewhere else where they can do something useful, like becoming cleaners. It will be the best. If they are just playing around and not working, fire them. They are supposed to work hard.
Mr Daniel David Phasha said: It is going to help, but they wont be able to get rid of all those who dont want to work.
Mr Madala Mokoena said: I think it is a good thing. The lazy ones must go - they just eat the money. They must get people who want to work hard and do the job.
Ms Unice Lekodi said: If they can deal with those people and do a big audit it will be good. It will be good to re-train or fire those who are not working properly. They must get inspectors and HODs to check on them.
Mr Rollen Mashego, Mr Simon Makola and Mr Dennis Tonga said: They will not be able to get rid of all those who do not do their work properly. There are just too many. There is also too much corruption, so there will be tip-offs etc. before anything happens.

On Tuesday this week we took the key of a Chevrolet Utility 1.4 Club from Westvaal Steelpoorts Sales Manager, Timothy Chowles, for a short trip to see if something like this will work to transport (surprise) newspapers! The one we got to drive was fitted with the optional alloy wheels and also had a rubberised load bay, the rubberising not standard. Otherwise it was as advertised. We did not have a load of newspapers at hand (it get snatched up too fast on Fridays) so we tested the bakkie empty.
First thing that impressed your claustrophobic editor is that the cabin is large enough for bigger guys than him, and they will also not feel as if in a sardine can. Aircon works marvellously, although when you hit rough tar, the road noise combined with an air conditioner fan running at half speed, may just be a little bit too much for your ears. Pavarotti from the radio or memory stick in the USB slot or CD-player, may not reach your ears unscathed. Also be careful with your water or cool drink container. If it is too high, it will be difficult to switch Pavarotti off because it will obscure some of the radios controls. Your hand will also knock against the bottles time and again as you switch the gears with the long throw gearlever. So much for the gripes. The 1389 cc petrol engine pulls quite strongly, and if you do not plan to race with the vehicle (it is supposed to be a workhorse) we do not think you really need the more expensive 1800 cc It is also more economic to run and the 120 Nm of torque at 3200 revs combined with the 68 kW at 6000 revs will prove to be adequate to haul 743 kg (max) up a pass, although you will not necessarily be on top first. Directional stability is satisfactory and the bumpy stretch of the R 555 past the Lion Smelter to the Steel Bridge did not faze this easily likeable bakkie. The instrument cluster should be kept away from your son, because it is very much Playstation-like, but works surprisingly well, even in harsh sunlight. The seats are comfortable and the space behind them almost boot-like in size. We had no problem in fitting camera bags and a laptop bag behind one seat. Turning off to Ga-Mampuru to take a spin on the gravel road we soon encountered a herd of cattle in the tarred road (we were driving 60 km/h) and the ABS brakes work extremely well for a bakkie. We even had time to get a camera out and photograph the creatures before they disappeared into the village. Taken that the load bay was empty it was bumpy, but still comfortable when we hit the gravel. Someone once said that lingerie models do not load bags of cement. That task is left to the uglier and more muscular members of the species. The new Chevrolet Utility bakkie may be not very pretty to some, but we are sure that it will take a load and keep on working for years, whether as a second private vehicle or in a small business or even as a general runabout. Contact Westvaal Steelpoort at 013 230 9519 if you want one. It is also reasonably priced and yes, it will carry a full load of newspapers with ease.

Winterveld Buffels are starting the years play
The Winterveld Buffels started their rugby season with a friendly game against the Harlequins from Pretoria. The game was played at Groblersdal. The club took 34 players along and everyone had some game time. It was a full length, full contact game. We had a chance to try different team combinations and game plans, says Charl van der Merwe, the teams assistant coach. Unfortunately the team lost this game. The Senior Presidents league in which the Buffels will participate is starting in early March. On Tuesday evening this week Jasphat Moloto from the Bulls Rugby Union visited the Club. He was very impressed with the number of players who came to the practise and ensured the team management of their continued support towards club rugby. The Bulls Rugby Union will be hosting a variety of development programs for talented individual players as well as for team development. The Buffels would like to thank the following sponsors who made their friendly game at Groblersdal possible: Ahead Construction, AFM Churc, Pick n Pay and Tyre Corporation. The Buffels practise every Tuesday and Thursday from 18:00 19:30 at the Winterveld Recreational Clubs rugby field. Thank you to ECM for maintaining the field and allowing our clubs members to develop their talent and love for the game. We all treasure the grounds. For the love of the game! Charl added. For any further information or players who would like to join the club can contact the following people: Charl van der Merwe (079 690 0858), Neels Beukes (083 291 8005) or Quartes du Toit (072 341 3010). New players are always welcome!
