Nkwe Platinum, a platinum mine development company that is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, said this week the the African Minerals Exploration and Development Fund (AMED), Genorah Resources (Nkwe’s Black emopowerment shareholder) and Nkwe Platinum are finalising a transaction whereby Nkwe will be recapitalised. At the moment Nkwe shares are in a trading halt on the Australian Stock Exchange. Nkwe says in an anoouncement the final details of the deal are still being concluded, the end goal of the transaction will see AMED become a significant shareholder in Genorah and, through that position, enable Genorah to recapitalise Nkwe. In terms of the transaction a working capital facility of $4.5 million has been approved. “The facility is secured against Genorah’s shareholding in Nkwe and will be provided to Nkwe through the existing intercompany loan arrangements. The facility will provide Nkwe with working capital funding whilst AMED, Genorah and Nkwe finalise the larger strategic partnership transaction. The intention is to conclude the draw down of the facility and resume trading on ASX next week commencing 4 February 2013” according to an announcement by the company stating further that “If for whatever reason the drawdown is not concluded alternative financing arrangements are being negotiated and upon finalisation, they will form the basis of a request to ASX for resumption of trading in the Company’s shares”. Nkwe already concluded a bankable feasability for their Garatau project near Burgersfort and will need apart from the recapitalisation funds a large investment to enable the development of a profitable mine. Meanwhile some minority shareholders in Genorah Resources (which has a 60 percent stake in Nkwe) say they are not all for the deal with AMED (a Hong Kong investment entity registered in Cyprus). The minority shareholders argue that AMED outmanoeuvred Genorah entirely, creating a situation where the fund would effectively take control of Genorah (and, through it, Nkwe), and if allowed to proceed, will deny Nkwe access to the capital markets to raise money and stop the entire project. Nkwe Managing Director, Maredi Mphahlele, this week largely dismissed the concerns and actions of the minorities. “It is not an issue of control as is being spun,” he said. “There are obviously people who are unhappy, but the deal is not under threat.” In fact, he said, it was effectively done, and shareholders would be informed about the terms of the recapitalisation, which has been misunderstood, through normal company announcements.

Greater Tubatse Municipality awarded 20 bursaries toqualifying students on Friday, 25 of January 2013.

The awarding of the bursaries was done by the MayorCllr Noksi Josias Mahlake, Municipal Manager Mr LemonPhala, Chief Whip Cllr Samson Nkosi and ExecutiveCommittee Members. The bursaries are aimed at givingfinancial assistance to students who cannot afford tertiaryfees.

In his opening remarks Mayor Mahlake said that“when the schools reopened on the 9 January, we visitedschools that performed well and those who did badly. Wewant to salute Gobetse Secondary School in Ngwaabe forbeing the best performing school In Greater Tubatse byobtaining 97,3 % overall. We congratulate the schoolmanagement, educators, parents and learners for workingtogether and their hard work has paid off”. He also saidthat at times, it becomes frustrating to those who havepassed but are unable to proceed with studies due tofinancial constraints. That is why we took a decision tocontinue with the Mayoral bursary scheme to assist thosewho want to further their studies and in October last year,advertisements were placed in the local media inviting

learners to apply for this financial assistance. Hefurther emphasized that “your achievements makes usproud to see you being the best in your respectivecommunities. Government has prioritised education asone of the 5 areas of development and as the localsphere of government we are also committed to seeimprovements in the education of the youth” concludedthe Mayor”.

20 students will now be able to study at differentuniversities around Limpopo and Gauteng. The totalamount of the financial assistance is R300 000, whichwas broken into two different amounts of R10 000 andR20 000. The Municipality only assisted first yearstudents with R20 000 which covers

their registration, tutorial fees and accommodationwhereas second and third year students are beingassisted with R10 000 each. 12 Students are in theirfirst year, while 5 students are in their second year and3 students doing their last year.

The Municipality says it tried its utmost best toassist as many students as it could but the budgetdidn’t allow to do more than that.
