ANC wins againA By-election was held in Ward 27 of Greater TubatseMunicipality on Wednesday along with other B-elections in thecountry. Ward 27 iincludes the Ga-Malekane area in the vicinityof the steel bridge next to the R555 between Steelpoort andthe De Hoop Dam. The vacancy in the ward ocurred after theWard Councillor, Khukhunana Martha Magapa of the ANCpassed away. In 2011’s local government election she united74,69 % of the votes to win for the ANC. When PlatinumGazette visited some of the voting stations on Wednesday,voting appeared brisk, but only about 23 % of the 4123registered voters in the ward participated in the democraticprocess through the day. The official IEC figures (below)confirm that the ANC remains the undisputed choice of votersin the ward.

A dreary By-election

Inside : A not so dreary Wildevy

On 30 July between 07:00 and 08:00 ina 20-year-old learner from MathafengSecondary School in Kgotlopongvillage killed his 18-year old girlfriend,also a learner at the same school, andthereafter hanged himself.

It is alleged that the 20-year-oldgrabbed his girlfriend while they wereon their way to school and dragged hetinto the nearby bushes. According tothe Police he stabbed her in the neckand body with an unkown object. It isalleged that the boy killed the girlbecause she wasi not interested in therelationship any more.

The matter was reported to TubatsePolice and a case of murder and aninquest were opened.

Tragedy

An effort will be made to limit job losses in theplatinum mining sector, the government,labour unions and mining houses announcedon Wednesday.

The three sectors agreed that all measuresto support the industry would be exploredbefore retrenchments, according to a jointstatement issued by the Department of MineralResources. They agreed that other ways ofcutting costs without reducing safety andhealth standards should be found, as well asseeking other ways to improve the demandfor platinum. Another measure included addingvalue domestically to platinum beforeexporting it.

The platinum mining industry has beenconfronted with falling prices as a result ofweakening global demand for the metal. Lastmonth Anglo American Platinum advisedunions it wanted to cut 725 jobs, while Lonminhad slashed capital expenditure plans.
