Sometimes the month-end traffic in Burgersfort is much worse than other months, with certain factors contributing to the mega-chaos, like at the end of February when salaries and wages’ dates are very near to pensions and grants day. Then everybody is in town while prices are still low before the effects of the national budget kicks in. Ordinary motorists and visitors travelling through town do not always see the true chaos, such as the totally inadequate entrances and space to and in taxi ranks (bottom).
The overhead pedestrian bridge over Dirk Winterbach Road leading to one of the ranks is also non-functioning and runs into almost a dead end you barely escape from on the taxi rank’s side. Traffic Chief, Superintendent Victor Lekwadu told Platinum Gazette in the midst of the chaos last Saturday “We need money and assistance to sort the chaos out, but now things are difficult, money is not available. We are negotiatng with developers and other parties to see if we can get some meaningfull infrastructure projects of the ground”.

Priscilla a semi-finalist in the Tammy Taylor Mrs South Africa competition Priscilla Metsi from Steelpoort in Limpopo has been announced as a Tammy Taylor Mrs South Africa Semi-Finalist for 2019. The organisation received a record number of entries for this year’s competition. On 1 March 2019 Pricilla’s journey began as she was invited with other beautiful, sophisticated women from all over South Africa for the second National Casting and Empowerment workshop at Emperors Palace. Tammy Taylor Mrs South Africa is a journey that has gained a reputation of a Women Empowerment Program that prides itself on producing the very best in real, relatable and modern South African women. It is not a typical beauty pageant. It offers South African women who has real life careers, families and hobbies a platform to make a difference. Pricilla is one of those real women who is currently employed at Samancor Eastern Chrome Mines, has a family and still finds time to go out and make a difference in her community.
“Being selected as a Tammy Taylor Mrs South Africa Semi-Finalist for 2019 gives me an opportunity to reach out, network, empower and build confidence in women and girls around the Tubatse area,” Priscilla told the newspaper this week. “The women we work with all have those real relatable stories we are looking for and this movement is about giving South Africa’s unsung superwomen a chance to get support and give input, and an opportunity to reach a new level of success and visibility on the global stage”. Through the journey of Tammy Taylor Mrs South Africa, women find themselves again and learn that they are never too old to follow their dreams and become voices of change. Tammy Taylor Mrs South Africa does away with the ideals that do not match real women, but instead showcase true beauty that shines from within and celebrate every woman in her unique femininity. Priscilla, as a Tammy Taylor Mrs South Africa finalist and Circle of Hope invites all women in Tubatse to nominate women to take part in the 2019 Talent Show. “This is a chance to showcase your talent to your community and unleash the great women in the communities. Visit the Circle of Hope facebook page to see more and learn about other empowerment community services. Follow Priscilla Metsi on Instagram or her facebook page as she walks her journey of Tammy Taylor Mrs South Africa Semi Finalist.
Youth take the lead in praise and worship night The Leeuwvallei Christian Assembly based in Ext. 10 in Burgersfort held a Praise and Worship evening on Saturday last week. The youth of the congregation took the lead and delivered upbeat and inspiring songs, drama and more that drew passersby in. Anyone is welcome to join the weekly events happening at the church and the fact that they are based in an area where crime, poverty, alcohol and drug abuse is prevalent makes them even more determined to make a difference and be a light in darkness. As one of the pastors said: “Jesus walked with normal people and made a difference for us on the cross, we should do the same and let people know that Jesus loves them”.
Matthew 6:28-30 New King James Version (NKJV) 28
“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not [arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
8 MAART 2019 The police in Ohrigstad are requesting the assistance of the community in tracing a wanted suspect named Serious Lazarus Rathaga, 25 years from Ga-Madiseng village outside Burgersfort. The suspect allegedly robbed a police officer of his service pistol during May 2017 at Ohrigstad. He was arrested in the Mankweng policing area last year and he appeared before the Praktiseer Magistrate’s Court. His case was set to appear again at the Burgersfort Regional Court for trial on 2018-08-29 and when he failed to appear the court issued a warrant for his arrest. The Police are making an appeal to the community at large to assist the Police by giving them information on the whereabouts of this suspect. Anyone who sees this suspect must not approach him as he is regarded as armed and dangerous, but rather inform the nearest police station or contact the investigation officer D/Sgt Mantshwane at 082 704 3943 or contact Ohrigstad SAPS at 013 238 0205.

Do you think that strike action is still the South Africans are used to being affected by strikes of various kinds. According to Wikipedia a strike is defined as: “Strike action, also called labor strike, labour strike, or simply strike, is a work stoppage, caused by the mass refusal of employees to work. A strike usually takes place in response to employee grievances. Strikes became common during the Industrial Revolution, when mass labor became important in factories and mines”. It is important to note that there is a difference between a strike and a protest. People often refer to a protest by communities as a strike. There is however a difference, although the general picketing and accompanying songs and handover of a memorandum are often similar. To stage a legal protest, leaders of groups or communities should also follow a process to obtain permission. In South Africa employees may go on a protected strike after a series of procedural requirements. The South African Labour Guide says: “The term “protected” strike action refers to a lawful strike which is in compliance with the requirements of the Labour Relations Act 1995 (“LRA”). The effect of embarking on protected strike action is that no employee may be dismissed by reason of their participation in the strike, nor do they commit a breach of their contracts of employment by participating in protected strike action”. However, people on a ‘protected strike’ will not be paid by the employer. This means no work, no pay. In a time where the South African economy is struggling and South Africans feel the pinch of the increased petrol price and accompanying increase in prices of food and other consumer products, can a strike still be afforded? Is the outcomes of strikes worth the loss of income during the period of ‘no work, no pay’? In our area strikes are prevalent. Trade unions often represent workers in negotiations with employers and in general workers adhere to what these unions decide they should do in terms of issues like a strike. In 2014 government through the Government Communications (GCIS) Unit’s Vuk’uzenzele publication said: “Strikes that continue for a long time have a negative impact on the economy and do not benefit anyone… There are no winners in prolonged strikes. They hurt both employers and employees the same - employers lose income while trade unions or employees lose wages, which is hard to recover after a prolonged industrial action. Strikes also have a negative impact
on government’s efforts to create jobs”. Platinum Gazette asked readers if they think that in the current economic environment strike action is still the best way to deal with labour issues or should an alternative be found to deal with it? They also gave their thoughts around strike action and its impact.
Mr Philemon Ngwato said: “Striking is not the solution. Only negotiations will make things happen. People must work and earn money while there is negotiations. Our government must also not give empty promises where they are involved”.
Ms Suzan Shabangu said: “The unions must solve problems through other ways than by a strike. For us to lose our salaries is not good. They must negotiate better”.
Mr David Mashaba said: “There must be unity between leaders, unions and members to engage and talk more to sort things out. Striking is a last resort because it takes away money from people”.
Mr Zacaria Nht and Mr Chanika Chiware said: “They have to look for leaders that can really negotiate. Leadership don’t fight, they negotiate. A leader has a sixth sense and actually use it to negotiate. A strike should be a last resort if all other negotiations fail”.
Mnr. Kobus Skeen sê: “Die regering moet mense help om beter te kommunikeer. Elke staking maak dat produksie af is, wat niemand kan bekostig nie. Ek is self ‘n eienaar van 2 besighede en was ‘n vakbondverteenwoordiger, so ek weet waaroor dit gaan. Dit is altyd beter om te onderhandel as om te staak”.
Right: Mr Lazarus Kgoloko said: “Communication is key to resolve the issues. Striking is definitely a no-no for me. With a strike there is always damage and things are not solved as quick as they should be. With communication involving all stakeholders we will be able to resolve issues without damaging property or hurting the economy. With the blockage of roads companies like mines suffer and that can lead to the closing of mines because of loss of income, loss of property and sometimes even killing of innocent people”.
Mr Tim Phiri, CEO of the TimPhiri Group said: “The community need to be organized and get educated on how to get heard during a protest. People need to organize themselves in structures that can negotiate (with government and employers). If a community starts to protest or workers go on strike and they block the roads etc. it impacts negatively on us. I have a small business and took all my pension money to start it. I need to make target to pay my employees and to pay expenses. Where people try to serve their own interest it benefits nobody. You need to also have fair demands when going on strike. Part of the problem is that in certain areas there is so much junk in the system. There are many people who cannot properly do their jobs. Many of us are affected by strikes but have nothing to do with the problems these people have. The reality is also that not everybody will be able to get jobs at the mines, people should also look at other career paths”.

Beauty and health goes hand-in-hand at Serenity Movement Spa At Serenity Movement Spa clients come to relax and feel rejuvenated after beauty therapist, Gugu Zondi is done with them.
Gugu is originally from KwaZulu-Natal where she studied and started her career. Apart from being a fully qualified professional beau-
ty therapist, she is also a qualified nail technician. She has worked at various places and eventually spend 6 years with La Vita Spas in different areas. Her friendly professional approach saw her work her way up within the group and she eventually moved from Magalies Park to Gethlane Lodge outside Burgersfort. It was here that she met Suzette Geldenhuys, a local businesswoman with a heart to empower young people with potential. Suzette introduced Gugu to Dr Lorna Maphuthuma and today these two women are Gugu’s mentors. “They are my ‘mothers’. They believed in me and it is with their help that I am here today” says Gugu. Gugu left the corporate group spa to start her own business. She is now running her own business, Serentity Movement Spa from within Dr Lorna’s medical practice. Despite her slender build, she knows just the pressure points to make your massage not only relaxing, but also a health tonic. “People often forget that having things like massages are not only to relax. It helps with improving blood flow through the body and applying pressure in the right areas can relief for example headaches” she explains. Her hot stone massages are one of the most popular services.
Since she was in school Gugu wanted to help make people look and feel pretty. Apart from the massages, she offers a full range of beauty therapy services like facials, pedicures, manicures, tinting, scrubs, make-up for special occasions and waxing. Gugu’s soft touch and experience with waxing among other things has seen her clientbase grow rapidly. “People often think waxing is painful, but I’ve had people fall asleep while doing a wax”. Gugu has flexible working hours and appointments can be made for weekends or afterhours. She is also doing mobile appointments. “I’ve had clients who hosted a party and would like the ladies to get pampered. The package depends on what they want done and groups get discount. I also have clients whose husbands are working and they don’t have transport, by appointment I visit them to do the treatments in the comfort of their home”. All of these appointments must however be made and confirmed within office hours. Gugu caters to the needs of the customers and offers special packages for couples, weddings and special occasions. To make your appointment call 013-231 7307/8 or Call/Whatsapp Gugu on 060 459 1781.

best way in our current economy?
Ms Zainabu Milanzi said: “People should rather go slow than totally shut down. To totally shut down a business means that it has an impact on their salaries. People must negotiate better. Sadly our government and companies seems to only understand when people strike and damage property. Without a strike they don’t understand serious negotiations”.
Ms Gladys Mnisi said: “People should not go on strike. The strikes impact on the companies and if they close because of the strikes what will the people eat? There are no jobs, we cannot afford to lose the jobs we have. Negotiate better rather than go on strike”.
Mr Victor Mohlala, Ms Prudence Mametja, Mr Joseph Seganye and Mr Thomas Sekgobela said: “It is better to find a good leader to lead workers. A leader will not strike, but negotiate. We don’t solve the problem if we strike. We just add to it. We can lose our jobs if the companies close due to no production during strikes. If there is a strike, nobody gain, not the employee or the employer”. Left: Mr Edwin Dibakwane and Mr Abram Mokgehle said: “Striking is not the right way to do things, but companies need to fulfill the needs of their employees. Companies must have a strategy and understand and accommodate the people. Sometimes when people go on strike they do crime. That is a problem”.
Ms Julia Malepe said: “We don’t want strikes. It is not right. Workers should just go and negotiate. We don’t like the strikes”.
Ms Shirley Makofane said: “The strikes are not right. People must negotiate. The economy is going down and if you strike you just let the economy fall. Negotiate instead of striking”.
Mr Justice Mokwena said: “The best way is to choose good leaders so that they can negotiate our salaries and needs. To strike is not the way to solve our issues. Sometimes people lose cars and jobs because of strikes. The mark of a good leader is someone who can properly negotiate and achieve results”.
Mnr. Gerhard en Charmaine Maree sê: “Dit kring verder uit as net waar die strike gebeur. ‘n Klomp mense verloor werk as gevolg daarvan. Juis omdat myne toemaak en swaarkry, sou ‘n mens dink werkers sal eerder werk en oor dinge praat as om te staak. Dat hulle na hulle werke sou kyk. Die ekonomie is oppad afwaarts en wat gebeur as die myn moet toemaak? Wat gaan hulle dan doen?” Ms Nthabiseng Maile said: “The people should choose better leaders that can better negotiate and get results without going on strike. Things are expensive and people cannot afford to go on strike. If a strike goes on too long it will also lead to retrenchments and people losing their jobs”.
Mr Mpho Sekgobela said: “People should not strike. Jobs are not easy to find. Leaders, unions and management must sit down and look at the issues. I think sometimes people have unrealistic demands. Strikes sometimes also happen because of peer pressure. When things are not good, sit down and try to find a way to resolve matters”.
Ms Christinah Mafolo and Mr Anthony Malapane said: “If management don’t want to negotiate, striking is the only option”.
Mr Messenger Napo said: “They must find other ways to solve problems. Companies must also be open to accommodate workers’ demands. To strike must be a last option. Nobody ever really benefit from a strike”.
Ms Weny Maya and Ms Matshepo Mmoyane said: “People always destroy things on strikes. Negotiating is the way to go. People don’t think of what they will lose if they go on strike. If the current leaders cannot supply results, choose better leaders”.
Left: Mr Moses Phasha said: “Our people have been misled for some time. Now they don’t trust anybody. The moral of people everywhere is very low. They now resort to collective bargaining and strikes. The solution is that if you are found corrupt in government, you must go to jail and pay the money back. That will show that government is very serious. At the mines strikes must also be avoided. They cause investors to flee. There must be a better way to sit down and negotiate. If you have the right leader there won’t be strikes. A good leader will negotiate and get results without strikes. In government there are those whose main aim is to enrich themselves rather than to serve our people. It is out of desperation and frustration with these people that communities go on strike”. Left: Mr Surprise Mankaba and Ms Tebogo Moloto said: “Striking is the best way. Then companies will do what we want. If we want to an increase maybe it will happen if we strike”. Mr Danny Moraba said: “Sometimes striking is not the best way. Sometimes when we strike we lose our jobs and sometimes we survive, so we don’t know what is best. People who are on strike are suffering in order to get what they want”.
