Born in Kimberley, Plaatjie made his senior debut for Griqualand West during the 2004–05 season of the UCB Provincial Cup, playing a first-class match against North West in October 2004.[1] The following season, he added another five matches in the same competition, also making his limited-overs debut.[2] However, he switched to Easterns for the 2006–07 season. In his debut three-day match for his team, Plaatjie faced his old side, and went to make a career-best 49 not out in the second innings, from number ten in the batting order.[3] He put on 112 for the ninth wicket with David Wiese, and after Wiese's dismissal hung on for five more runs with the number-eleven batsman, Petros Mofokeng, guiding his team to a one-wicket win.[4]

The 2006–07 season saw Plaatjie finish the provincial three-day season with 25 wickets from eight matches, behind only David Wiese (30 wickets) for Easterns.[5] Against Mpumalanga, he took what was to be his only first-class five-wicket haul, 6/42 from 13.1 overs.[6] However, during the 2007–08 season, Plaatjie struggled for form, playing only five three-day matches and two limited-overs matches in what was to be his last season with Easterns.[1] After a gap of several years without any high-level cricket, he returned to Griqualand West for the 2010–11 season, where he was used predominantly in the one-day format. His final match at provincial level was a one-off limited-overs appearance in February 2012, against Boland.[2]
