This is for Mandela Day 2015. We want to be first said the cheerful
group of youths when asked why and how they became involved in
picking up the trash in Burgersfort earlier this week. They are part of
the Greater Tubatse Municipalitys Youth Empowerment Initiative and
according to them on Mandela day they will be even more involved in
community work.

Lekgotla slams violent

service protests
The Sekhukhune Mayoral Lekgotla this
week resolved that while communities might
have genuine service delivery concerns,
violent protests taking criminal forms are not
the correct approach of dealing with those
concerns.
This statement comes at a time when the
South African Police Services is working hard
in fighting continuous violent actions by some
members of the public, particularly in the
Greater Tubatse Municipality and Ephraim
Mogale Municipality.
The latest incident occurred on 15th
July 2015 where motorists and general
public woke up to find that the people of the
Phasha Mampuru and Ngwaabe areas have
blockaded roads R579 and R555 leading
towards the towns of Steelpoort and Jane
Furse with burning tyres, tree trunks and
stones.
Whilst we appreciate that the people
have genuine concerns we cannot condone
the violence that is taking place. As
government through the department of public
works we have appointed a contractor who
will be handed over to the community of
Phasha Mampuru before work to tar the road
commences. We are forever committed to
work with our people and engage in dialogue
to solve whatever concerns they may have
said Executive Mayor Cllr Mogobo David

Magabe, during the opening of the one day

Mayoral Lekgotla held at Ga-Marishane
village.
Having gathered here we have also
learnt with sadness the burning of a
vehicle belonging to one of our councillors
in Phetwane village of Ephraim Mogale
Municipality on 14 July 2015). We understand
that some members of the community went
into a rampage following a dispute over
employment within a water project in the
Flag Boshielo Dam. And as government
we acknowledge that there were loopholes
in the implementation of the project on the
part of social facilitation appointed by our
implementing agent, the Lepelle Northern
Water, to appoint labourers. As such, we
acknowledge and agree with the community
that the appointment of labourers was
not done accordingly. We are however,
concerned that our people regard projects
as job creation mechanism but like with the
situation in Phetwane village, we wish to
state that the primary aim of this project is
to provide sustainable water to the people
with jobs as secondary factor remarked Cllr
Magabe.
The Executive Mayor further alluded to
the fact that the Mayoral Lekgotla is held
to look into progress made with regard to
service delivery implementation plans and

stressed that local Mayors, Councillors,

Traditional Leaders, civil society groups and
all members of the community must work
together for peaceful solutions to every
challenge. Executive Mayor Magabe further
said that government is serious about service
delivery goals and will continue working
with all role players to ensure that there is
accountability on financial management,
provisioning of basic services and achieving
social unity and cohesion.We have also
noted the preliminary recommendation
by the Municipal Demarcation Board that
the Fetakgomo Local Municipality will be
merged with Greater Tubatse Municipality
after the 2016 Local government elections.
And by implication this will mean that a new
type of a municipality will be established in
the Sekhukhune District Municipality and
government needed to ready itself for this
new challenge concluded Executive Mayor
Magabe. The Executive Mayor urged the
South African Police Services to strengthen
its hand in uprooting acts of criminality where
they exist without infringing upon the human
rights of other individuals.
The Mayoral Lekgotla which is held every
3 months is used by the District Municipality
and its five local municipalities as a platform
to access government performance and
enhance service delivery.

In
court
According to Burgersfort Police, two
groups were already arrested by
Wednesday for the public violence along
the R555 route between Ngwaabe and
Steelpoort this week.
Constable Victoria Maluleka told the
newspaper that six suspects (al male
between 30 and 35) had been arrested
and appeared in court in Burgersfort on
Wednesday after they allegedly torched a
vehicle carrying tiles on 12 July at around
20:40 in the evening.
The incident took place on the R555 at
the Dwars River bridge at Ngala Camp.
The 50-year-old driver escaped before
the vehicle started burning.
12 Men were secheduled to appear at
the Sekhukhune Magistrates Court on
Thursday after they allegedly took part in
blocking the road to Eerstegeluk on 14
July at around 12:30. When the Police
approached, people pelted them with
stones.
The crowd was dispersed after helicopter backup was obtained. The 12
men were arrested on the scene. The are
between the ages of 25 and 29.

Burgersfort residents smiled this week as

some of the traffic lights that were out of
order for more than a year started working
again.
It does

some drivers

many simply

drive straight over the red lights. The traffic

Mr. Isaac Mafane said: Ive got a driving

Dreams bigger than houses

Many people are very negative when it
comes to the young people of South Africa,
but there is so much talent waiting to be unearthed that excitement should be in the air.
Hidden away in a small village (Ga-Moraba village) near Leboeng is Given Tshehla.
He is dreaming big dreams and while he
is doing that he is building scale models of
what he would like to one day design and
see being constructed.
He is 17 years old and a grade 10 learner at Maremishe High School. He dreams
of one day becoming an architect. This is
not something he is taking lightly. He has a
passion for the structure and measurements
of design and in 2008 started creating scale
models of houses with cardboard boxes and
other waste materials.
His family is however not in a position to
make his dream of studying after school a
reality.
His talent was spotted by the Leboeng
Police Stations Youth Coordinator, Const.
Sibatana. Sibatana were doing his duties,
making sure the youth of the area is safe
and not getting involved with crime during
the winter holidays, when he discovered
Givens talent.
People who would like to get in contact
with Given or would like to assist in helping
his dream to one day work as an architect
become a reality, can reach him on 076 985
3216 or e-mail him at givenlegodi9@gmail.
com. Alternatively contact his mother, Ms.
Mamorake Selina Tshehla on 072 208 0460.

Burning broad
in daylight

Ohrigstads streetlights are shining brightly, even when they are not needed. This is
specifically the lights leading through town and not internal street lights.
The town has had problems with these lights on and off for years.
Often they are not working at all and when they are working they often have the
tendency to never switch off during the day.
In times where load shedding is a reality, residents asked why these are left to burn
during bright daylight?
This photograph was taken on Saturday afternoon.
