Last week this display of Cleome angustifolia or more commonly known as YellowMouse-whiskers, was photographed in Burgersfort. This slender herb grows up to 75cmtall and in large numbers provide a glorious display of colour. Variations in the speciescontains the word Kers in their scientific specification. This has led to some Afrikaansspeaking people also calling it the Kersblom.

South Shaft TM3 section achieved an Injury Free 2014(01 January 2014 – 31 December 2014). Injury Free meansno accidents were recorded for this section for the wholeof 2014 which has never happened before in ModikwaPlatinum Mine.Previously this section had a dismal record with accidentsbeing reported monthly, now is the safety flagship forModikwa Platinum Mine. They started by being the firstmining section to achieve 365 injury free days in August2014, followed by achieving 500 injury free days inDecember 2014 and now they are champions of the fullcalendar year injury free section.This magnificent achievement comes from the sectionleadership taking a decision to do things differently fromwhat it used to be. Derek Rieck, leader of this sectionsays it started with himself. Everyone had to start lookingat themselves and asking what they can do better to ensurethe safety of everyone. The results speaks for themselves,the key word is CHANGE. One of the employees, RuthVilakazi raised her hand during the celebration when thequestion was posed as to how did they get so far withsafety and she said: “I wish all the other mine overseerswere here to hear what I’m about to say. Derek our mineoverseer is different, whenever he gets to your workplace

his approach is so touching that you feel so guilty if you donot work according to standard. Though he doesn’t screamor shout. He talks to you with respect and when he leavesyou as an employee, you feel so motivated and chargedup to work safe and to mine standard, not because you arescared of him but because you feel human enough to takeresponsibility for your work”.Modikwa South Shaft TM3 will never be the same as thesection employees are motivated and looking forward toexceed what they have already achieved. “I’m shockedand over the moon at the same time that South Shaft TM3section can take a simple goal I had of an injury free day to365, 500 and now the full January – December calendaryear”. Back then Derek said this is a mine and people willbe injured. I just said, not in my watch and that has beenproven. A word of sincere appreciation and gratitude tothe section leadership, supervisors, employees, mine’sservice departments(safety, rock engineering, ventilation,etc.), organized labour, mine management and governmentfor their contribution to this section for this achievement”Sipho Zwane the Business Area Leader Mining South Shaftsaid.(Photographs & information: Modikwa CommunicationUnit).

Adam Opel, the founder of the company that later became an automotive giantas a subsidiary of General Motors (from 1931), would have been astounded bythe little gem that took his name more than a century after his death in 1895.Up until his passing on in that year, Adam’s company manufactured bicyclesand sewing machines and only later on, when it became part of General Motors,did it become involved in engine driven vehicles.

Talking of the engine, the Opel Adam, just released in South Africa, does nothave a large one. You have a choice between a 1400 normally aspirated petrolpower plant and the three cylinder 1000 with a very, very smooth turbo to propelyou very, very fast into illegal territory.

Want proof?We took delivery of a dark blue Adam Jam with white trim from Westvaal

Steelpoort last week for a trip or two around the area. As these trips go,everything gets pushed in, pulled out, opened and pressed to see what happensand what it does. Photographing the cubby hole entails cleaning it out first, andwhat do we find? A fine. During its tour between dealers somebody drove it at aspeed of 151 km per hour near Newcastle in KwaZulu-Natal. In a 120 km zonenogal.

Experiencing the vehicle, we can believe that this was not intentional as thisthing goes like a rocket for its size and the speedo has to be watched withhawk’s eyes. It can go even faster …

But let’s start from the beginning. The Opel Adam is a very attractive two-door with huge doors, lots of technology (stop-start thingy et al, with all theusual technology abbreviations built in, as well as things like park assist).Buying up and down between the standard version and top of the range vehiclewill get you more luxury, but the abbreviations will remain the same, notcompromising safety etc.

Is it big?No. The back is cramped and there is no space for four large adults. There

will be space for their bottoms, but not their legs. If you buy this, see it as agenerous two plus two, or space for two kids at the back (not teenagers). Therear seatbacks can go down if you need more luggage space, but otherwisethere is barely space in the boot for the school run and a litre of milk.

The vehicle is very sturdy, zippy as hell and it just oodles fun and style, anyway you look at it.

Compared to competitors? Rather don’t do that. For us it stood on its ownfour wheels with a unique character.

Expensive?Yes, north of R200 000, but look at the quality and performance, and it is

worth it.A car for Eve?O, yes! As you can see in the photograph, she was smitten. Had a problem

getting her out of the car though …Final words for Adam Opel about the Opel Adam?
