15 arrested

On Monday this week Tubatse Police arrested 15 people in connection with public violence at Riba Cross.Their arrest follows after and incident that started at about 01:00 in the morning of the 18 June. The residents ofRiba Cross village were protesting that they wanted to be employed at the mine, whereby they started to block theR37 road with stones. Tyeres were also burned to disturb the vehicles on the road. The Police were called to thescene and they tried to calm the situation. While they were busy patrolling some of the people threw stones at thePolice vehicles and the windscreen of a Police truck was damaged. At about 04:00 the situation became real betense when buses had to take the mine workers to work. Residents started to throw stones at the buses and othervehicles were also involved. (Two vehicles were also involved in a collision when trying to avoid the violence,fortunately nobody was injured). The Police opened a case docket of Public violence and malicious damage toproperty and 15 people were arrested. The suspects include 8 men aged between 21 and 40 years and 7 womenaged between 19 and 39. They are expected to appear in the Praktiseer Magistrate’s Court soon.

The graph, aspublished on http://www.sacci.org.za/,indicate the coppercable theft statsyear to date.

On 30 April 2012 the Second Hand Goods Act was officiallylaunched which amongst others should reduce copper cable theftand control over second hand copper cable sales if correctlyapplied. In essence, the following are positive changes in the fightagainst copper cable theft as stipulated in the Act:• The Act provides the police with an enabling regulatoryframework through which second hand goods dealers andpawnshop owners can be permanently put out of business if foundto be involved in the selling of stolen goods - a clean-up of thesecond-hand goods industry.• Penalties, which provide for imprisonment of up to 10years, are harsh and deterrent to those dealers engaged in theselling of stolen goods.• The Act provides for industry bodies to be accredited,second-hand goods dealers’ associations will be able to support thepolice in monitoring compliance through inspections and self-regulation. This is also expected to result in close cooperationbetween compliant industry players and the police, therebyalienating criminal activity.• The Act requires dealers to report suspicious transactions ifthe seller attempts to provide false particulars, or if the goods aresuspected of being stolen or tampered with which will improve theidentification and recovery of stolen items and the arrest ofcriminals.• The possession of non-ferrous cable with a burnt cover inthe absence of a reasonable explanation is penal able. The clauseof imprisonment for a period of up to 10 years in these instances isan important additional deterrent.

The month on month copper cable losses (source SACCI) in SAamongst Telkom, Transnet and Eskom (which excludes the figuresof losses in mining areas) recorded a 20.7% decrease in the AprilCopper Theft Barometer. Copper theft fell from a high of R34.7-million in March, to R27.5-million in April 2012. Figures for May 2012are not yet available. Exports of copper waste for March increasedto $50.3 million from $43.5 million in February and $31.8 million inJanuary. South Africa recorded a total of $599.4 million in wastecopper exports in 2011, with a monthly export average of $49.9million – how much of these are stolen copper cable? RecentlyThorburn Security Solutions’ Special Operations Unit arrested five(5) suspects at a local scrap yard in Burgersfort. More than 220 kgof stripped copper was recovered from the suspects. In thebeginning of February 560 kg and another 380 kg was recovered intwo separate special operations near Burgersfort.

Thorburn Security Solutions acknowledge that security staff oftengets in touch with scrap metal and second hand goods or goodsreported as stolen and that have second hand value if sold. Acts bysecurity officers to sell these goods and metals could be viewed assuspect and could harm the relationship between Thorburn and ourclients and a situation of mistrust could develop. Thorburn SecuritySolutions, in 2011, adopted an internal policy prohibiting employeesfrom dealing in scrap metal and second hand goods without the priorconsent and declaration to company officials internally.

Someof them arescared of thepolice, becauseif they getpulled over, thecar will bescrapped. Nowthey travel atnight. The onesthat are notgood must betaken off theroad for thesafety of otherlives on theroad”.

Mnr. Willie Kruger sê: “Ek dink nie dis ‘ngoeie ding nie. Daar is ouens wat nie kanbekostig om ‘n nuwe kar te koop nie,maar hulle kyk regtig mooi na hul kar.Nou gaan hulle gepenaliseer word omdatander nie na hul voertuie kyk nie”. Mnr. Johan Rossouw sê: “Ek is so

Mr Sibonelo Nhlangulela said: “I thinkthey want to make it like the Japanneselifestyle. I guess if a car is old it producesmore carbon emissions and everything isabout global warming these days. I think itis just another money making scheme andit is another way government wants tohold tabs on us. There is an upside to itfor government, but a downside for us”.

Mr Lionel Tshivhidzo said: “I think it is agood idea. Small cars are not like publictransport that has to be inspected atcertain intervals. It will reduce the amountof accidents on the roads”.

Ms Johanna Zitha said: “I think it is agood idea. It will help to reduceaccidents”.

Mr JF Mandlhate said: “I think it will behard to implement. They will evaluate thesecurity of the car. It can reduce the riskof accidents as these cars will be writtenoff if they are not safe”.

Mr Tokologo Mphahlele said: “Yes, it willhelp. Old cars do cause accidents. It hasdefective body parts. This will increase thesafety on the roads”.

Mr Johannes Nodwele said: “If it happenslike that it will be easy for the traffic copsto catch those who are stealing cars. Onthe safety side it will also assist to makethe roads safer”.

Various changes are proposed for theNational Roads Traffic Act. These proposalshave been published in the GovernmentGazette and the public can still give input andcomment on them until 6 July 2012.Some of the changes include having to proveyour identity and place of residence toauthorities (similar to the RICA system forcellphones), to report any address changeswithin 21 days and to have vehicles that areolder than 10 years go through a roadworthytest every two years.According to the Automobile Association(AA) up to 12% of road accident deaths arerelated to unroadworthy vehicles. Accordingto their statistics the average age of vehicleson the road is 13 years. The AA was positiveabout the proposals, but expressed theirhope that the fees charged for theroadworthy tests will be affordable for all.We asked our readers what they think aboutthese proposals.

7NUUS22 JUNIE 2012

Mr Vincent Malatji said: “Up to 70% of thecars that have accidents in Burgersfortare new Mercedes Benz, BMW, Audi etc.People think they have grand cars thatcan go up to 120km per hours in twoseconds and they can take chances.Seriously, leave the old cars alone”.

Mr Caplet Rikhotso said: “There will beless accidents. People will just have totake it. Let things change. We can’t sit onthe same place all the time. Try to makethings better”. Me. Twanette Dreyer sê: “Finansieël gaan

dit party mense uitbuit. Daar is van onswat karre het wat ons padwaardig hou, sohoekom moet ons almal daaronder lyomdat sommige taxi’s ens. nie by die wethou nie? Dit gaan nie werk nie want daarsal omkopery wees en mense sal hulle netnie steur nie”.

Mr Victor Monei said: “Obviously it is agood thing as cars on the road need to beroadworthy. There will however be costimplications that will come back to us asmotorists. We’ll have to feed the bill. It isjust costs, costs, costs. We are alreadypaying for the licence disks every year, wepay every five years to have our driverslicences renewed and we pay taxes, butnothing gets done on the roads. I don’tknow about this”.

Ms Adelaide Magagula said: “I think therewill be less accidents but there must bemore traffic officers and they must bestricter in enforcing the law”. Mr James Bowen said: “I travel from Burgersfort to Dilokong Mine

every day and every day there are at least three or four cars thatshould not be on the road. They have no lights etc. There areroadblocks on the way, but those cars don’t even get pulled over”.With him is Lizet Kruger.

Mr Forest Mogoane said: “I think it canwork. Around Steelpoort and Burgersfortthere are many unroadworthy vehicles.Old cars cause accidents. To check themevery two years is a good plan. Don’t getrid of the old cars, just keep themroadworthy”.

Mr Lucky Nkuna said: “It will be safer.Government must make an incentive thatprovides owners of old vehicles with a10% deposit if they buy a new car”.

Mr Steven Sebulela said: “I think it is a good thing. I am owning such an old vehiclemyself. It will reduce accidents”. Mnr. Sam Mphogo sê: “Hulle moet die onpadwaardigekarre by die scrapyard vat. Hulle maak baie ongelukke”.

Op Saterdag 16 Junie het SteelpoortAkademie se Golfdag plaasgevind.“Baie dankie aan al die borge vir skenkings,borg van putjies, kos, pryse en aan elkeenwat deelgeneem het. Dit was ‘n heerlikeoggend wat die weer aanbetref het en diegeselskap was onverbeterlik” sê me.Cornelia Ebersöhn van SteelpoortAkademie.(Platinum Gazette het ook ‘n draai op diegholfbaan gemaak en opgemerk dat‘mulligans’ wyd deur spanne aangewendis in hulle stryd teen die baan. Volgens BrentKelley van About.com Guide “A mulligan,most simply put, is a “do-over.” Hit a badshot? Take a mulligan and replay thatstroke.So as you’ve probably guessed, a mulliganis never “legal” under the Rules of Golf.Mulligans are most often employed duringfriendly rounds by golf buddies; or duringcharity or playday tournaments wheremulligans are sometimes sold. If mulligans

are for sale, that means the golfer can buy,say, three mulligans for a set price each.The sale of mulligans is sometimes usedas an additional fund-raiser at charitableevents. Are there rules governing the useof mulligans? No - whatever a group ofgolfers agrees upon is what counts (unlessyou are using mulligans in a tournamentsetting - then do what the tournamentorganizers tell you)”.Die uitslae was soos volg:1. Sinvac Mining - Marius van der Merwe,Desmond McManus, Andries Ebersöhn enAnton Alberts. 2. Tubatse Golf Club -Werner Schutte, Johan Swanepoel,George Frazer en Johan Cronje. 3.Tubatse Chrome - JJ van der Walt,Werner Beyleveld, Charl Volschenk enWim Barnard. 4. Tugela Mining - JacoKruger, Thys Ruthven, Kerneels Muller enReinier Potgieter. 5. Xstrata Projects -Deon du Plessis, Baard Langange,Adriaan Coetzee en J Venter.
