As much as we put effort into conserving

our heritage, we should conserve and preserve our environment. I have five words for you: Plant a tree each month!Patrick Fann, Athletico Football Club manager,

Rustenburg

I’ve never planted a tree before, but thanks to our talk, I’ll start planting trees. Thank you. Now I’ll help to create more oxygen! Rapula Petlele, community member, Thekwane, Rustenburg

Trees help us identify the seasons and provide us with air – without which we can’t breathe. We must teach kids about the importance of preserving and planting trees for the future.”Nkosinathi Mbandlwa, Mfidikwe Primary School teacher, Rustenburg

I once planted a pepper tree and enjoy its dense shade

when the Rustenburg sun gets too hot! Planting trees

is important. They prevent soil erosion and reduce wind speed.

Clementine Nyakane, spaza shop owner, Tshukudu, Rustenburg

Jobs are a critical component of a healthy country, and trees can play an important role in this process by supplying wood for furniture and construction. Let’s make the world greener, leaf by leaf – and rand by rand. Suzette Prinsloo, community member, Rustenburg

Planting trees is one way to reduce our carbon footprint. Trees have so many advantages. They provide shade, fruit, and a home for animals, bugs and bees. Many of them also have medicinal uses. I simply love nature and, by default, trees. Naomi Motlatsi, Tiny Steps Day Care Centre owner, Mfidikwe, Rustenburg

Plant a tree! I talk to trees and they help me get well. We must all preserve trees and, in doing so, care for the environment. Let’s all do our part to save the planet by planting a tree. Dedrea Fourie, second-hand goods dealer, Rustenburg

Trees have many advantages, including offering shade, acting as windbreaks, creating oxygen, giving a home to birds and animals, and providing furniture and firewood. There are few things as pleasant as getting together with friends around a braai with real firewood. However, we all need to do our part. For each tree we cut down, we must plant two. Let’s do this! Dumisani Nyakeni, Mfidikwe Primary School educator, Mfidikwe, Rustenburg

We’re all united in the sense that we want a brighter future for our kids. This includes – hopefully – a green, clean and healthy future environment. But much still needs to be done. There are, for example, many rural schools with very few trees and little or no shade. We can all make a difference by planting a tree. Innocentia Dlhamini, Clean and Shine administrator, Tlhabane, Rustenburg

Planting and sustaining trees is one of the main ways to fight global warming. What’s more – furniture produced from trees is a major industry, providing thousands of jobs in South Africa. We should plant two trees for every tree we cut down.

Ntombifuthi Benzane, community member, Tlhabane, Rustenburg

We call on everyone to plant a tree in September to celebrate National Arbour Month. It’s a practical way to develop our environment sustainably. These Rustenburg Times readers seem keen to support this worthwhile effort:

3RUSTENBURG TIMES ISSUE 29 COMMUNITY

Dear Puzzled Teenager,

I am very happy that you are serious about coming up with ways to save trees. As you say, they are very important to us. I wish more people your age were passionate about issues that have to do with preserving our environment. I think young people have an important role to play in making sure that future generations also have beautiful trees to admire or sit under for protection from the sun.

Well done for listening to your teacher and making up your mind to play a positive role in preserving trees.

Don’t worry too much. Do something instead. Just because people use something, that doesn’t mean it will disappear. What is important is to use it sustainably. If people use more of a thing than they put back, it will run out. If they put back more than they take out, all will be fine.

If you would like to play a positive role in conserving trees, the thing to do is to encourage people who live near you to plant trees.

How about forming a tree-planting club with your friends? Approach schools, hospitals and the local municipality with this idea and ask them if you can plant trees at their premises. By planting trees, you will help to replace those that are cut down!

Good luck! Rakgadi

Rakgadi is a regular feature in Rustenburg Times. She is happy to give her personal opinion and sound advice on personal problems to readers who ask for her help in writing.

Dear Rakgadi,

I am confused and I need your help. At school,

I have learned that trees are very valuable

and important to the environment. Just the

other day, our teacher showed us pictures of

the many functions of trees, including making

oxygen for people and animals to breathe and

providing a home for birds and squirrels.

From the extra research that I did at the

local library, I discovered that some people

have no electricity, so they cut down trees for

firewood. I also remembered seeing people

burn wood to cook meat and other food – not

always because they have no other option, but

sometimes because it’s a fun thing to do on a

holiday or over a weekend.

I am now very conflicted. How do we conserve

something when some people also use it for

important things in their day-to-day lives,

or just want to use it to have fun? Please

advise me.

SKILLING PEOPLE FOR SUCCESS

To support and unlock local economic development, the Rustenburg operations’ Zimele team has designed a new approach to meeting the challenges that Anglo American Platinum’s host communities face.

MEET THE ZIMELE TEAM… From left: Rustenburg operations Zimele business advisor Zandi Botman; peer advisor Dineo Maswanganhe; hub manager Zukiswa Poswa; hub administrator Bella Masekwameng; business advisor Kearabetswe Petlele; business advisor Laylah Moagi; peer advisor Ntsinde Sibabawe; and deputy manager Benny Masetloa.

The Zimele team’s new strategy finds expression in various programmes

and is specially designed to serve small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs). It supports job creation and employability by focusing on mentoring and builds a network of partnerships that offers qualifying SMMEs access to market opportunities and financing.

The Zimele supplier, enterprise and youth development

programmes were launched at the Rustenburg Multi-Purpose Hub on 29 July 2019. The event was attended by local business owners aiming to expand their businesses and young people who aspire to be professionals.

At the launch, business owners were informed of what will be expected of them during their nine-month strategic partnership with the Zimele

programme, in the course of which trained Rustenburg

operations Zimele business advisors will provide access to coaching, mentoring, SMME loan funding, administration and various markets.

“Businesses are run on more than just money; it takes marketing, passion and proper management to ensure that a business thrives. Rustenburg operations’ Zimele is here to assist, but it’s up to you to make your business grow,” said Rustenburg operations

Zimele communications manager Lesego Mashigo.

3E Group director Theko Letsie, added: “Zimele works! We’ve seen significant growth in our company since we joined the Zimele programme. With the right information and passion, you will succeed.”

Rustenburg operations Zimele hub manager Zukiswa Poswa addressed the local youth who were present and congratulated them on

making the cut to attend the programme. “You’re all here by design. To succeed, you need to be committed and eager. We’ll support you all the way – as long as you keep putting your best foot forward.”

Claudinah Modisaotsile, who attended the youth development launch, said: “Through this programme, I hope to grow

as a person and explore opportunities. I want

to make positive changes in my

community.”

YOUTH DEVELOPMENTThe objective of the youth development programme is to help to define career paths for unemployed youths and provide them with skills so that they can access job opportunities. It also aims to support young people starting new businesses and to increase the sales of existing youth-owned businesses.

ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENTThe enterprise development programme aims to develop the capabilities and capacity of host-community SMMEs to grow sustainable businesses that will create jobs in sectors beyond mining.

SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENTThe supplier development programme’s objective is to develop the skills of host community suppliers of goods and services.

4 ISSUE 29 RUSTENBURG TIMESEDUCATION

WHAT TO DO IF YOU FAIL GRADE 12It’s crunch time! Not everyone passes their Grade 12 finals. Use these last moments to study hard. If you still don’t quite make it, don’t despair. Learners who don’t pass Grade 12 still have several options.

RE-DOING GRADE 12

If you don’t qualify for a supplementary exam, you should consider re-doing your Grade 12 year. It may seem daunting, because you’ll have to re-do the whole year and pay

school fees, but it’s worth it.

TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING (TVET)

Why not consider vocational training? TVET colleges make it possible for people who haven’t passed Grade 12 to receive a vocational or occupational qualification. They train people for a specific range of jobs or employment possibilities.

Once you have a certificate from a TVET college, you may be able to apply to a university

of technology and continue your studies at a higher level in the same field

of study.

If unfortunate or unforeseen circumstances made you miss your exams, you should consider:

SUPPLEMENTARY EXAMS

You qualify to write supplementary exams if you:• Failed a maximum of two subjects.• Were medically unfit to write the exams. Make

sure you have a doctor’s note to prove this.• Experienced personal challenges during exam

time, such as the death of a family member.

Whichever option you choose, remember that passing or failing is not the end of the road; it’s the beginning of a new journey. Staying focused and being determined to work hard will take

you places, no matter what route you choose.

Your Grade 12 marks stay with you forever. They determine the breadth of your choices after school. Believe it or not, you’ll never again have as much time to focus on such comprehensive learning material, nor as much help to do it. Embrace matric! Education is an investment. Each of you has a unique lifestyle and learning style, but these tips could help all of you. The secret’s in how you apply them.1. TIME MANAGEMENT

Failing to plan is planning to fail. Start today and plan what you need to do for each subject every week in advance. Make notes to make sure you’re following your study plan.

2. TIME-TABLES DO THE TRICK Draw up a timetable that suits you. It doesn’t need to be pretty or perfect; it just has to work for you.

3. WHAT’S MORE IMPORTANT? In Grade 12, you get the feeling that life after school is finally within your grasp. Remember, the kind of life it will be depends on how you do in your final year at school. The pressure from parents, teachers,

extramurals and friends can all get a bit too much. Decide what to shut out and what to focus on. Only you can do it!

4. FIND YOUR STUDY STYLE • If you are a visual person

(someone who learns best by seeing things), underline or highlight key points in bright colours.

• If you’re an auditory person (someone who learns best by hearing things), recite things out loud, make up songs about your subject matter; or record your notes and play them back to yourself. It’s easy! Just use your phone.

• If you’re a kinaesthetic or tactile person (someone

who learns best by touching things), walk around the room, chew gum or even squeeze a tennis ball while you’re studying. Use role-playing with a study partner or demonstrate what you’ve just read or learnt.

5. STICK WITH YOUR STUDY BUDDIES Form study groups. Studying in a group can be easier than trying to do it alone. Research shows students learn more from teaching each other. Just remember to keep your study groups small (three to six people) and only include people who want to participate. Study groups are for studying!

6. PRACTISE PAST PAPERS Past papers are a great way to get to know the type of questions you’ll face in the exams. They also help you to work out how much you already know and to identify your weak areas ahead of time.

7. WHAT WAS THE QUESTION? Make sure you fully understand any question or assignment before you start working out your answer. Grade 12s are often eager to show what they’ve learnt. Some of them give well-prepared answers to a question that hasn’t been asked. They lose those marks, despite being prepared.

8. REACH OUT Never be afraid to ask for help! Find someone in your family to lean on emotionally or to talk to about any feelings you have about exams and performance. It should be someone who can empathise and who’ll encourage you when you feel overwhelmed.

9. MAKE IT COUNT The rest of your life is about to begin! Keep going, stay calm and do what you need to do.

10. STAY POSITIVE! Research shows that, when you’re relaxed and positive, you produce better results. Work on being positive and have some fun along the way! Good luck!

Make sure that you understand why you failed Grade 12. Knowing this will help you to make the right decision about what to do next. If you failed because you didn’t work hard enough, you’ll have to adjust your lifestyle and

try harder. You should think about:

In every challenge, there’s an opportunity to learn something. Oteng Ngubeni

Stay focused – it’s time to burn the

midnight oil! Rethabile

ROAD AND TRAFFIC

Inspired to honour Anglo American Platinum’s commitment to ensuring that every employee returns home unharmed every day, Platinum’s Rustenburg operations employees actively participated in a road safety campaign.

Safety savvy Rustenburg operations employees joined forces with

various stakeholders and a multi-disciplinary traffic law enforcement team to raise road safety awareness on 1 August.

Roadblocks were put in place on the N4 highway to check roadworthiness, proper vehicle documentation and driver fitness and to keep an eye out for possible illicit operations.

Platinum’s people handed out pamphlets and newspapers to motorists and had brief safety discussions with them before wishing them a safe journey.

“The 11 tragic transport-related fatalities that our colleagues in South America recently suffered strengthened our determination to support this campaign. We want all our colleagues not only to make safety a priority at work, but to have a Zero Harm mindset

in every aspect of their lives,” said Process Division Services (PDS) safety manager Moses Monnapula.

Sticking to the rules of the road is vital. The injuries and deaths caused by unsafe behaviour on the roads affect families, friends, colleagues and communities.

Settling in Mfidikwe has brought great happiness to 50-year old educator

Kgaile Modutwane. “Of all my years in education, the twelve I’ve spent at this school are among the best. The community in Mfidikwe has the same passion that we have for their children,” he said.

“The parents here are very involved in a number of our programmes and the school has developed a fruitful relationship with them over the years.”

Modutwane added that the achievements of the school’s alumni, which include lawyers, educators, mechanics and doctors, points towards the school’s effective teaching policies.

The school is one of the many that benefit from Anglo American Platinum’s help.

“We have a jungle gym that Platinum set up for the Grade R

learners. They also regularly donate uniforms to our learners during winter and we’re very grateful for this gesture,” Modutwane said.

Modutwane’s colleagues consider him a fountain of wisdom and find his optimism about the school’s future infectious. “Academically, we’re performing well. We must now work towards building a library, which is vital for learning,” he concluded.

Shaping the lives of children for the past 24 years is a source of pride for Mfidikwe Primary School deputy principal Kgaile Modutwane.

“I’m happy beyond what any words can express. We now have a beautiful learning environment and I’m sure this will help us to improve our pass

The team, made up of employees and service providers, arrived early

and got stuck into painting for most of the day. They used about 80 litres of paint in the process. The finishing touch was provided by the new furniture that Anglo American Platinum donated.

The school’s 260 learners and its educators were delighted with their beautiful administration and classroom blocks. The learners also appreciated the cosy woollen hats and scarves they received to make windy, wintery walks to school less uncomfortable.

Undaunted, Poloko Makaudi manages the pressures and expectations that come with being the opening batsman of the Bergsig Academy first cricket team.

“I just love playing cricket. I might decide to keep

playing after school, but for now, I’m just happy to put on my gloves and head for the batting crease,” said Poloko Makaudi, who lives in Tlhabane West.

His confidence is well founded and likely to stand him in good stead, no matter what career he decides to follow. He is determined to up this score and to work on his bowling skills.

“I bowl off spin, but I’ve not yet

bowled any

overs in the matches we’ve played against other schools. If I work hard in
