School!
Schools opened on Wednesday and the first timers (no longer grade ones - they already know the drill) flocked to schools in the area with their stiff new clothes and sometimes with just a liitle bit of apprehension. Schools the newspaper visited yesterday had no problems accommodating those who preregistered and plans were quickly made for those who did not. The little ones, adaptable as the are, quicly assimilated into their new environments. One boy was accompanied by his dog Monday (because we got it on a Monday) - see picture. What the status with textbooks and other teaching aids are, was not known at the time of going to press yesterday.

Storm damage
On Monday this week a heavy wind and rainstorm flattened hawker stalls and damaged business signage. Lucky the hawkers wont have to wait too long for properly constructed stalls asthe tender process for its construction is underway.

De Hoop Dam is filling up

De Hoop Dams visible level had been rising quickly over the past few weeks after heavy rainfall in the catchment area. The dam is due to be officially opened soon. (Openings had been postponed more than once in 2013). A request for information on water levels and other questions regarding the future of the dam had not received a response from the Department of Water Affairs by the time of going to press. The dam is not yet listed on the official lists with the status of dams by the Department. The last official feedback status the dams level at 6%, but much rain has fallen after that. Seeing the water level rise and being able to view the dam from the R555 is at the moment as good as residents will get.

Slowly sliding away...

Last week. This week. No major changes had been reported in the status of the earthslide at Lannex Mine outside Steelpoort. On the photographs to the left the slight difference between last week and this week can be seen. Platinum Gazette last week reported that families living next to the area of the slide had been evacuated. Samancor Eastern Chrome continues to monitor the situation and keep arrangements in place to ensure everyones safety.

Do you believe in anti-corruption

2014 is the year of general elections and political parties are scrambling to ensure as many votes as possible. Each party is in the process of launching their manifesto that contains the promises they make to the people. Last week in Mbombela the ANC launched their election manifesto. It contains various promises, but also touch on the issue of corruption. President Jacob Zuma told the crowd at the launch that the party will act against government officials found guilty of corruption by a court of law. He added that they will aim to establish a tender adjudication board to try and curb corruption when it comes to awarding tenders. According to the organisation Corruption Watch, the public in South Africa has become increasingly intolerant of corruption. They warned that while anti-corruption actions taken by the Department of Public Service is commendable, it is being countered by continued impunity of those who are politically and financially powerful. Anti-corruption actions has been part of election promises since 1994 when the ANC said: The ANC will encourage private citizens to use the independent public protector to investigate corruption, dishonesty or violation of rules of conduct on the part of government officials those found guilty will be dealt with. We asked readers if they think this anticorruption promise of last week is one the ANC will be able to keep and whether they think any party in South Africa has the ability to root out corruption.

Ms Nelly Mogowane said: Yes, they will be able to keep the promise to get rid of corruption. We have come a long way with the ANC and that is why I believe it.

Mr Likon Makofane said: No, they wont be able to do that. South Africa is too corrupt. No party will be able to root out corruption. Mr Jan Mphogo said: No they wont be able to keep that promise. They are elected through corruption. No organisation will be able to do away with corruption. Just look at the EFF, they want to compete, but there are still court cases against some of them. Corruption is in the blood of politicians.

Mr Sam Molapo said: They have been promising that since 1994. Come elections they will promise anything. They can do a bit of what they promise, but definitely not all of it. Maybe we can look at the EFF and the DA to root out corruption. They must fight to be tops.

Mnr. Louis Fourie s: Die ANC sal n paar dinge moet verander anders sal hulle nie korrupsie kan uitwis nie. Die DA is dalk n party wat dit kan aanvat.

Mr James Zwane said: That is not a good promise. Maybe another party will do better. Well never get another person like Mandela.

Mr Collen Mahlo and Mr Kgaogelo Mpethi said: No, the ANC is a big organisation so they wont get rid of corruption. We think corruption is just a part of South Africa, nobody can take it back.

Ms Karabo Mphogo said: I believe it because I trust the ANC.

Me Liezel Venter s: Nee, ek dink glad nie hulle sal by daardie belofte kan hou nie. Korrupsie in Suid-Afrika is deel van die sisteem en geen party sal dit net uitroei nie. By haar is Leon en die honde is Charlie en Chubs.

election promises political parties make?

Mr MW Mathebula said: It is a promise theyll keep. It is the only party who will be able to do that. Theyve recognised that there was corruption before they came into power and that they will have to fight it when they started as the ruling party. We must remember to be factual. Dont just say there is corruption. Report those who are corrupt and provide the evidence. We must come up with facts to help the state. Mr Ben Madigage said: They tried but theyve failed. They wont fix it the next time around. They just keep on promising. No political party will be able to do it. Everyone is just promising, but it is not easy to reduce corruption. With him is Kedibone.

Mr Fidel Dube and Mr Jabulani Mkhondo said: No, it is not a promise the ANC will be able to keep. You cannot say you will drop the rate of corruption. We heard Zuma tell the people of Kanyamazane that he will slaughter cows for them if they vote for him. What promise is that? That will not bring a difference to this country. No, we are not sure that any party will be able to lower corruption, but maybe give them a chance and see what they can do.

Mnr Dirk Mostert en Me. Zarika Mostert s: Nee, daar is nie n manier nie - hulle sal nie korrupsie uitroei nie. Vandag worry niemand meer nie. Dis elkeen vir homself. Dis so in die politiek, in industrie, dis oral.

Mnr. Danil Khotle s: Hulle sal nie daardie belofte hou nie. Kyk dan net - Zuma sien hoe arm is die mense en dan bou hy n groot huis by Nkandla. Dat Malema vir daai vrou langs Zuma se groot huis, n huis moes gee! Maar Malema weer - hy los die armes hier en gaan help doer. Hulle maak grappies van die politiek. Hulle belowe en belowe. Hulle dink hulle is beter as ons, maar ons het hulle beter gemaak. Al skiet hulle my oor wat ek s, maar dis wat ek sien gebeur. Daar is geen party wat korrupsie kan wegvat nie. Hulle het die voorbeeld gesien. Dis soos kinders wat doen wat hulle sien by hulle ma en pa. Soms dan dink ek diere is beter as ons mense. Regs: Me. Carien Purcell s: Het hulle dit al ooit gedoen? As hulle track record wys dat hulle korrupsie kan uitroei, by all means, dan ondersteun ek daardie belofte. Ek glo nie enige party sal dit alleen kan reg kry nie. Dalk as almal saamstaan. Mr Saul Maphosa said: Ja, I believe it 100%. Theyve been in power long and have seen what is wrong and what is right. Opposition is needed to put pressure on the ruling party, but Im not sure if another party will be able to root out corruption.

Ms Tryphosa Malahlela said: No, they wont be able to root out corruption. It is part of the system. We are used to them promising us but not delivering.
