    Partnership to

    their aidPlatinum Gazette regularly gets calls during the rainyseason of people lamenting that the rain has taken

    our houses away.

    The people of Kalkfontein did not call, they were

    too busy (literally) picking up the pieces of their lives

    after a devastating storm wrecked the village the

    previous night.

    When the newspapers delivery boy (aka the

    editor) turned off on the Lydenburg road on his way to

    Dwarsrivier Chrome Mine from the R555 after

    delivering newspapers to Kutullo, he immediately saw

    something was amiss from the dry debris hanging

    high in the bushes in the normally dry stream next to

    the road. Turning the corner, Kalkfontein was a mess.

    Large numbers of informal houses were wrecked by

    the strom. Clothes, matresses and furniture were

    outside the informal houses still standing, while

    everywhere people were already trying to get a new

    roof over their head.

    Disaster management personnel on the scene

    and residents told the newspaper that the strom

    struck at about 22:00 the previous evening. Gusts of

    high winds, hail and torrents of rain battered the

    village. Disaster management personnel arrived at

    the village at about midnight to assist residents. By

    the time of the newspapers visit no clear assistance

    was forthcoming, but it was not long before thepartnership between Government and industry

    sprung into action. During the weekend residents

    were assisted in various ways, but only one tent

    stood (the small one on the bottom of the page,

    donated by the Red Cross).

    On Monday everybody was on the scene, the

    district municipality, local municipality, disaster

    management on provincial, district and local level and

    the mines and NGOs in the area. Key roleplayers

    from the private sector were Dwarsrivier Chrome

    Mine, Two Rivers Platinum, Xstrata and Booysensdal

    (Northams new developing platinum mine).

    Local councillors, traditional leaders and the two

    mayors, Cllr Mogobo David Magabe from the

    Sekhukhune District Municipality and Cllr Nkosi

    Josias Mahlake from Greater Tubatse Municipality

    joined the personnel from the mines NGOs and to

    distribute food and tents (even mine managers puttheir past army experience to good use in assisting to

    pitch these).

    The central message during the speeches was

    that people should be economically empowered, and

    that it is not only governmentds responsibility, but

    also the responsibility of the large industries, such as

    mines.

    Fatigue before the festive seasonWhat is fatigue?

    People suffering from fatigue often feels unusually tired for no apparent reason. The feeling may include afeeling of a total lack of energy or exhaustion. This in turn can activate feelings of depression and failure.

    Fatigue is very common in health problems many women experience, but is not exclusively experienced bywomen.

    Causes:It may be a sign that something is wrong somewhere in the body and that the body is slowing down inorder to cope. I t may be a sign of illness and should not just be ignored. Fatigue can h ave various emotionalor or physical factors as part of its trigger.

    Some of the causes of fatigue may be a poor diet, allergies, Anaemia, HIV, Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS),Menopause, Lack of sleep after giving birth, Systemic lupus or another connective tissue disease.

    If the fatique lasts for six months or longer it could also be a sign of Chronic Fatigue and Immune DysfuntionSyndrome (CFIDS).

    Emotional causes can include anxiety or depression, change such as going through a major life changingexperience e.g. retirement or divorce. It could also be caused by burnout through wearing yourself out bytrying to do too much without proper rest. Boredom could also be a trigger (if the daily routine justbecomes too much).

    Symtoms: A total lack of energy and feeling extremely tired. This could also include feeling emotionallydrained.

    Treatment:

    Keep track of your symptoms so that the correct treatment can be provided. If the fatigue continues forweeks a visit to your doctor may help determine the cause, especially if there is no recognisable emotionalcauses for the fatigue. Menopause could for example cause a change in oestrogen and treatment of thiscould resolve the problem associated with a loss of sleep during menopause. Supplements such as ironcould assist in cases where the fatigue is caused by anaemia.A healthy diet may help with preventing fatigue or to restore energy levels. Skipping an important meal suchas breakfast or indulging in high fat or sugary foods could influence your blood sugar and in turn your energylevels. Eating six light healthy meals a day could help keep your energy levels constant.Exerciseacts as a tranquilizer and can counter feelings of anxiety or weariness. Hot weather could also leaveyou feeling drained. It is important to remain hydrated during warm days to help keep up your energy levels.

    Rest and relaxation. A good nights sleep and changing your routine could also help.Try to lighten your worklaod and avoid too much caffeine and alcohol.Over the counter energy boosters may help on the short term, but if fatiguecontinues a doctor should be consulted to help address the problem.

    During the weekend of 19 November 2011 and 22

    people in crime prevention operations.

    Your views on the secrecy billOn Tuesday the National Assembly inParliament approved the controversial

    Protection of State Information Bill or SecrecyBill as many calls it. During the voting process,crowds gathered outside Parliament and in mostmajor cities protesting against the bill. Many

    referred to the day as Black Tuesday.The bill was approved with 229 votes to 107 andtwo abstentions. The DAs motion to delay the

    vote was unsuccessful.According to the South African Human RightsCommission (SAHRC) the bill can have anegative impact on basic human rights. TheCommission expressed their concern about theimpact the bill will have on the rights of journalists

    and whistleblowers who release information that

    is in the public interest. They may face up to 25years in jail for releasing and publishinginformation that can be classified as harmful tostate security in the public domain.The Right2Know Campaign expressed their

    disappointment in the ANC MPs who acceptedthe bill. In doing so they have betrayed theprinciples of open government and transparency

    that the ANC once stood for. The Right2KnowCampaign will now try to challenge the bill inthe Constitutional Court.

    The Helen Suzman Foundation also expressedtheir disappointment. This marks a low point inSouth Africas transition to democracy. Itrepresents a significant step backwards in thelong walk to freedom to which so many SouthAfricans have devoted their lives. The United

    Association of South Africa (Uasa) said: It will

    become impossible to make informed decisionson, for instance, political matters like elections.If we are no longer informed about corruptionand other wrongdoing by the state and politiciansup to the highest positions in our government,how will it be possible to make an informed

    choice between parties?Editors and journalist all over the countryexpressed their concern about the passing of

    the bill that will now move to the National Councilof Provinces for approval and then be signed byPresident Jacob Zuma before it becomes law.

    We asked readers what they think about it andwhy they feel the way they do.

    The Limpopo Valley Toy Run took place on Sunday

    last week. A pre-Toy Run event was held onSaturday with a potjiekos competition and stunts aspart of the activities.

    A thunderstorm that soaked to the bone, did not dampen

    the spirits of thos who came to donate a toy for a goodcause. On Sunday a church service was held inrememberance of those motorcyclists who passed away.

    T-shirts and toys. Many soft toyswere donated. While takingrefuge from the rain, the bikerscould get their Toy Run T-shirts.
