Merafes Lion roars

Merafe Resources this week said that it planned to return cash to shareholders as no major expansion
projects were on the cards for the next two years.
From 2018 onwards, no major expansionary projects are planned and as a result, free cash flow will
be applied to returning cash to shareholders, the company said as it released financial results for the
year to December.
Merafe, which mostly generated cash from the Glencore-Merafe chrome venture, posted improved
earnings and revenue for the year to December.
Despite the improvement, the Merafe share price declined by 2.38 percent to trade at 82 cents a
share, a reflection of the negative outlook for mining. The mining index falling 5.3 percent.
Merafe declared a final dividend of R30
million, compared with R20m in 2014. It paid
shareholders an interim dividend of R25m in
August, down from R27.9m in 2014.
In terms of its financial performance,
Merafe reported a 23 percent increase in revenue to R4.4 billion from R3.6bn in 2014, and
a 65 percent increase in headline earnings a
share to 13.9c for the reporting period from
8.4c a share previously.
It expects the short-term future to be challenging with weaker commodity prices and
concerns about Chinese economic growth
levels.
But the company said despite these
global challenges, the joint venture with Glencore was well positioned to withstand current
and even lower prices.
The ventures position as the lowest cost
ferrochrome producer in South Africa and
one of the lowest cost producers in the world
enables it to navigate the headwinds at a
time when other global ferrochrome producers have been forced to cut production or
close down, the company said.
Merafes attributable ferrochrome production from the venture in the period under review was 13 percent higher than the previous
year, mainly due to the additional production
from the Lion II smelter near Steelpoort which
ramped up to full production in the middle of
last year.
Merafe shares in 20.5% of the chrome
ventures earnings before interest, taxation,
depreciation and amortisation .
After a decade of ongoing investment in
a suite of projects, Merafe is in harvest mode
within the Glencore-Merafe Chrome Venture,
which owns and operates several chromite
mines and 22 ferrochrome furnaces.
In addition to the large low-energy Lion
smelter complex, projects have included the
Bokamoso and Tswelopele pelletising and
sintering plants, upper group two plants and
the Wonderkop acquisition.

Have you
registered?
Over three million South Africans visited their
local voting stations over the past weekend,
Chairperson of the Electoral Commission,
Glen Mashinini, said on Tuesday (08 March
2016).
The voting registration stations were opened
on 5 and 6 March for voters to register for
the first time, re-register and update their
registration details.
Addressing the media on the outcome of the
first voter registration weekend, Mashinini
said the number of voters who visited voting
stations was more than double the number
recorded during the first registration weekend
of the 2011 Municipal Elections.
This was also a 23% increase of registration
activity compared with the first registration
weekend for the 2014 National and Provincial
Elections.
Of the 3 097 194 voters who visited voting
stations, 692 730 were new registrations,
while 1 086 958 were re-registrations in different voting districts and 1 317 506 visited to
confirm and update their registration details
in the same voting district.
The weekend also saw a huge response from
young people, where 544 552 new registrations were from voters under 30 years old.

Murder and rape

at Leboeng
Two men 26 and 30 -years old, from Leboeng Rutseng Village were arrested on Sunday 06 March on a
charge of murder, house robbery and rape of an 80-year- old woman.
This was after the police received information about the murder. According to the information the deceased
was staying alone at Leboeng Rutseng Village. The deceased was found by her niece who went to the
deceaseds place in the morning on Sunday in order to take the old lady to the voting registration station.
Upon arrival she was surprised to find the old dead on the floor and it was seems that there was a fight
inside the room. She then called the police,. Officers tracked a shoe print that was found on the scene until
it led them to the suspects house.
The police managed to find the stolen items at the suspects house. Initial investigations revealed that the
deceased was also raped. The two suspects were arrested and appeared before Leboeng Periodical court
on Tuesday this week. Their case was remanded to 15 March 2016 for further investigations. No bail was
granted.
In another case a 30-year-old man from Phiring Malaeneng appeared before the magistrate court today
Tuesday at Leboeng periodical court on a charge of rape of a 9-year-old minor. The accused was arrested
last week on Monday after the mother of the child opened a case docket at Leboeng police station. She
said she noticed signs of sexual abuse and asked the child and she explained what happened. The case
was remanded to 15 March 2016 for bail application.

This road is a mess

Platinum Gazette travelled various village this week,
and experienced the bad roads first hand.
Twenty minutes. This is the time it took for the
newspapers large 4x4 to drive from the R555 turn-off
to Eerstegeluk till the vehicle reached Longtill.
Along the way the small vehicles on the road laboured
through the dongas. En route community members
were trying to fill the potholes with a mixture of sand
and cement. We are tired of this road they said. It is
almost totally undriveable, and nobody hears our pleas.
This is our own time and money we spend. It does not
help much. Maybe if it is in the newspaper somebody
will give attention. This road was not meant for heavy
traffic, they must rebuild it stronger and then maintain

it.
Unfortunately, this is not the only road that looks like
this, and a large number of roads in many villages are in
thesame deplorable condition.
In Mabocha the newspapers vehicle had to drive
next to a tarred road so full of potholes you could almost
not count them. And then there is the road from Steelpoort to Lydenburg, and ...
Meanwhile the work on the road between Longtill and
G-Mampurru is progressing well, although no work was
done in the rain when the newspaper visited the area.
my only conerns is that we are going to have this beautiful road between Longtill and Ga-Mampuru, but we will
not be able to get to it, as the road from Longtill to the
R555 is falling apart one resident told the newspaper.

on combating
racism
Comment on the draft NAP
Cabinet has called on South Africans to make constructive inputs
to the draft National Action Plan (NAP) to combat racism, discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.
The public can submit their comments before the 30 June 2016
deadline for the final document that will be submitted to Cabinet
for approval. Comments and inputs can be submitted via email to
nap@justice.gov.za.
The plan provides the basis for a public policy against racial
discrimination that will assist in giving effect to our international
human rights obligations, Cabinet said in a statement this week.
It is also envisaged that the NAP will provide for specific
outcomes and a technical guiding framework for governments policies, programmes and strategies to combat racial discrimination,
and is a step towards complying with the obligation to give effect to
the constitutional value of equality and non-discrimination. Government has dedicated the month of March to Human Rights Month.
This month will be celebrated under the theme: South Africa
united against racism and will reinforce governments commitment
to the Bill of Rights as enshrined in the Constitution.

Your views about the

South Africans are preparing to start paying a
sugar tax from next year. With diabetes as
the second leading cause of death for South
Africans aged between 15 and 49 in 2011
and one in four South Africans being obese,
health workers are welcoming the looming
tax.
Would this tax really make a difference to the
consumption of sugary products? According
to Professor Harry Dugmore from the Rhodes
Universitys Centre for Health Journalism it
could. A tax around the 20% margin would
have real effect on the diabetes epidemic in
South Africa theres no doubt he told the
media.
Fizzy drinks are some of the products that
are the worst culprits when it comes to sugar
content. A single fizzy drink contains about
10 teaspoons of sugar. According to the
World Health Organisation the recommended
adult intake of sugar should be no more than
six teaspoons per day.
If the tax is set at 20%, this could relate to
an additional R7 thousand million income for
government.
Some critics predict that the tax could
result in job losses if the demand for sugar
declines. Examples such as Brazil is however being held as to how related demands
can still sustain the industry. There theyve
expanded their energy solutions to include
production of ethanol from sugarcane to
produce energy.
Platinum Gazette asked readers what they
think about the proposed tax and the effect it
may have.

Mr Sizo Obonye said: People will still buy

it because when you like something youll
sacrifice for it. Everything is expensive these
days
Mr Lucky Riba said: If they introduce a sugar
tax Ill minimize buying sugar products. Well
live healthy. Ill make more careful choices
when buying. This is a good thing.

Mr Innocent Mawine said: I dont think it will

work because if you are addicted to something youll do anything to get it. Look at alcohol, people will buy it even if it is expensive.

Mr Abram Moshwana said: People wont

stop buying sugary products if it is taxed.
They will keep on buying. On alcohol and cigarettes they have warnings about the impact
on your health and it is taxed, but they keep
on buying it. There will not be an improvement in public health due to the sugar tax.
Mr Margate Madire said: People will just pay
more because most people like sugar. Look
at things like alcohol and cigarettes. They tax
it but people still buy it.

Me. Drieka Jacobs s: Mense word met soet

tande gebore. Ek sal maar betaal. Dis stupid
om so n belasting in te bring. Dit sal beslis
kos duurder maak. Ek voel as hulle dit om
gesondheidsredes doen behoort hulle ook
dinge soos drank en sigarette te verban of sit
nog n ekstra tax op drank en sigarette.

Mr Rodney Madire and Mr Kabelo Mokgotho said: Some will stop buying sugary products,
but there are those who are addicted and they will buy it even if it is expensive. The tax will
not improve public health. You must also remember that sugar is needed for energy.

Mr Adam Seedat and Mr Mohammed Danish said: We hope it will work. It will help those
with big stomachs and diabetes. It is also bad because we are already paying a lot of tax.
Business is not good in South Africa any more so we dont have money. They actually need to
lower tax to help us.

Me. Mariana Matthysen s: Dit gaan geen

invloed h om gesondheid te verbeter nie.
Dit gaan maar net beteken dat jy sal moet
uithaal en betaal. Dit beteken ook dat n
mens minder goed soos sweeties sal koop
wat met vandag se pryse in elk geval min
gebeur. By haar is Marli.

proposed sugar tax

Mr Bongisipho Mthembu said: I think we

should protest about this. People will buy it
anyway. If you like chocolates you will still
buy it. It will be the same as with cigarettes
and alcohol. People will continue the habit.
It will only benefit government to have the
additional tax income. Zuma will be able to
build another Nkandla.

Mnr. Rudy Vorster s: Ons sal maar die

belasting betaal. Ek ken mense wat ges het
hulle sal ophou rook as n pakkie sigarette
R10 kos. Dit kos nou al tussen R30 en R40
en hulle rook steeds. n Mens moet ook
onthou dat die regering nie dieet koeldranke
wat met produkte soos stevia versoet word
sal kan belas nie. Stevia is nie suiker nie.
Die wat dit kan bekostig sal steeds koop. Dit
was n goeie idee om hierdie aankondiging
te maak, veral omdat die rand nou in die
moeilikheid is. Die wat kritiek lewer dat werke
dalk verlore sal gaan weet nie waarvan hulle
praat nie. Indien daar n surplus van iets is
word dit eenvoudig uitgevoer en dan kry die
produsente meer geld daarvoor. Werksverliese as gevolg hiervan sal nie gebeur nie. In
praktyk beteken dit dat n bottel Coke waarskynlik 40c of so meer gaan kos. Dis soos
petrol. Almal sal maar betaal en aangaan.

Mnr. Bobby Crouse en Me. Monica Olivier s: Dis dinge wat jy nodig het waarop die belasting
gaan wees, so n mens sal maar betaal. As jy wil luxuries drink en eet moet jy maar betaal.
Alles gaan nou op. Die belasting sal nie regtig n impak om die algemene gesondheid van
Suid-Afrikaners h nie.

Mr Isaac Phoku said: This is just a futile

exercise. Our government should be educating people. They should teach them to
make informed choices on diets and healthy
lifestyle. Our government is failing when it
comes to the tax system. This is just another
way of robbing people. It will not improve
peoples health. Our government is failing to
provide people with proper food. We are all
from different backgrounds and some can
just not afford to buy healthy products such
as olive oil in the shops.
Mr Piet Mahlangu said: The good thing is
that people will not buy it because it will be
too expensive. Then their health will improve.

Ms Sabina Mpinga said: It is a good thing.

A lot of us drink too much Coke and it is not
good for our health. Look at us, we are still
young, but we have these big bodies. It is not
good. If they increase the price due to the tax
people will not be able to afford it and it will
be good.

Mr MS Mohlala said: If it will improve public

health it is good to implement the sugar tax.
It will be better if people drink less sugary
drinks.

Mr Abram Phaku said: People will just keep

on buying sugary products. Government
should rather give people education about
health and food choices. They should do this
for free. It wont work to improve health if you
tax sugar.

Mr Edson Nozozo said: It will help people

because if the price of the products goes up,
people will buy less sugar. It is good. Tax is
already up so we are used to paying. People
affected by diabetes will be helped through
this.

Mr Ismail Arbee and Ms Zianub Arbee said: We love our Coke. We dont think it will work. It
will just make life more difficult as groceries are already so expensive. When will they bring
out a tax on air? They are taxing us to death.

Regs: Me. Delma Ludick s: As jy n sugarholic is sal jy n plan beraam om dit te kan
koop. Dis n goeie idee van die regering. Dit
sal dalk die kinders leer hoe om reg te eet.
