Rustenburg – Following numerous com-plaints from certain residents of the city, in specific areas within the Municipality’s Wards regarding high levels of noise, par-ticularly over weekends, the Municipality’s Public Safety Directorate in collaboration with the Police and the Bojanala Platinum District Municipality, heeded the call. These noisy areas were visited on Friday, 15 July 2016, to measure the noise lev-els. The noise levels, however, were found to be below 85 decibels, which is accept-able prescribed by Municipal By-Law. “The Municipality regularly test noise lev-els, to ascertain if the community are ad-

hering to the noise level laws. Our next target is Olympia Park stadium – when they host their next music concert or large event,” Mr Thapelo Matebesi, municipal spokesperson, said on 26 July 2016. “We appeal to our entertainment organ-isers to adhere to the Municipal By-Law by lowering their music levels. We are henceforth going to affix a specific clause on permits when we issue them remind-ing music concerts hosts and other func-tions to lower their noise levels. Failure to comply with the prescript of this specific By-Law will result in heavy spot penalties or fines not less than R 500.00,” Matebesi exclaimed.

The trade union Solidarity said on Thursday, 28 July 2016, that the number of mine fatali-ties that have occurred this year, is already 22,2% more that the number of deaths re-corded over the same time period last year. According to preliminary statistics of the Department of Mineral Resources, 55 mine-workers have died in South African mines this year, compared with 45 workers in the same period last year. Advocate Paul Mardon, head of Solidarity’s division for occupational health and safety, said that 2016 was a challenging year for the mining industry due to the demands of the economy on the sustainability of the sector. In addition, the increase in retrenchments at mines this year has also resulted in de-creased focus and concentration of work-ers. Both the economic challenges and challenges in terms of health and safety have brought the mining industry at a cross-roads and new and innovative thinking is

needed to ensure the sustainability of the industry,” Mardon said. General accidents, including drownings, slips and falls and exposure to dust, gas and fumes have largely contributed to the fatalities. “Fall of ground and the incor-rect handling of machinery also constitute some of the main causes of mine fatalities in South Africa,” Mardon said. About 47% of the 55 mine fatalities that have already occurred this year, occurred at gold mines, while 31% occurred at platinum mines. The remaining accidents occurred at coal mines and at other mines. Mardon said the Lily Mine disaster in Febru-ary this year re-emphasised the importance of safety in mines. “However, accidents such as that one are largely preventable. Therefore, we call on mining companies and workers to comply with safety mea-sures at all times, thereby preventing similar accidents,” Mardon said.Solidarity Press Release: 28 July 2016
