CAMPAIGN PROPS? The Free State ANC is being accused of using less priveleged whites as voting cattle. Some of these “delegates” to the conference had no idea who Jacob Zuma was and said they were there because they were promised food parcels. The party’s top five provincial leaders were re elected unopposed, with Ace Ma gashule retaining the chairpersonship at the seventh pro vincial conference held in Welkom over the weekend.

Eyebrows raised about whites at ANC conference

HEINRICH “SANDLANA” SMIT, a member of the Free State Premier’s Intervention Unit for minority groups, has strongly denied allegations that the ANC is using disadvantaged white communities as campaign props for the 2014 national elections. During the party’s seventh elective provincial conference held over the weekend in Welkom, about 100 disadvantaged white residents from across the province attended. Clad in yellow ANC T-shirts depicting Pres. Jacob Zuma’s face, some of the residents from Vredefort said they did not know the ANC president and only went to the conference to receive food parcels.
“I did not know we were being brought to the conference,” said one of the confused attendees. Smit said the attendees were not being used to boost the party’s campaign to secure victory in next year’s national elections. He said however, some of the attendees did not know Zuma, because they did not have access to the media due to poverty. Olly Mlamleli, Free State ANC Women’s League deputy chairperson, said the white residents were members of the ANC and said some of the women were members of the Women’s League who participated in the party’s activities. Smit denied allegations that the residents were given or promised food parcels in return for attending the con-
ference as observers, but admitted that the party “often” supplied poor white communities with food parcels. “Poverty has no class or race, the ANC is for everyone and therefore helps everyone. My duty is to recruit minority groups closer to the ANC and dispel wrong perceptions about the party,” Smit said. Although Mlamleli told Express the residents were ANC members, Smit said a majority of the residents were not party members. “I just came to the conference to get a free lunch and see how the ANC functions,” said one of the residents from Welkom. Smit said the party had a mass of white members, but they did not disclose their support for the party for
fear of being victimised. Oupa Khaobane, ANC Free State spokesperson, said the residents were always complaining that the party was neglecting them and were therefore invited to experience the ANC culture. During his speech on Saturday at the same conference Cyril Ramaphosa, ANC deputy president, said he was glad to see the group attending, saying it was an indication that the party was for everyone. Ace Magashule, newly re-elected ANC provincial chairperson, said although the province was behind with campaigns for the national elections next year, it would secure 22 000 volunteers for the elections in the next two weeks.

Mother to four little bundles of joy A TIRED Tessa Stone says she got the shock of her life when she heard she was pregnant with four babies. Last week, Stone safely delivered the quadruplet girls via a Caesarean section operation without complications in the Mediclinic Kimberley. Two of the girls are identical. Although at the time of writing the girls did not have names yet, Stone said their names would be a mixture of traditional and English names. The babies weigh 945 g, 980 g, 1 kg and 1, 2 kg respectively. She said the babies’ father, Alec Filander, was initially shocked pale but has since recovered and is now very excited about his instant family. Stone also has a seven-year-old son, Lorenzo, from a previous relationship. “My partner, a policeman at the Galeshewe Police Station, is extremely happy. I am realistic, I realise the babies are now here and have to be cared for,” she said. Stone will for now have to leave her little bundles of joy in the intensive care unit as they have to stay there for at least a month. She found out she was expecting quadruplets when she was eight weeks and two days pregnant. There are two sets of twins on her mother’s side of the family. Denise Coetzee, the Mediclinic Kimberly’s spokesperson, says chances of conceiving quads naturally, especially all of the same gender, are very slim. “The girls are very healthy, not one of them is on a ventilator. “Tessa was given medication before her operation to help develop their little lungs. They are breathing on their own,” she said. Stone’s water broke and she was in the early stages of labour. The doctors decided to perform the C-section at 29 weeks. In the last months of her pregnancy, Stone visited the doctor on a weekly basis. “I was very uncomfortable over the last three weeks, I could no longer sleep at night,” she said. She will visit the hospital daily to check on the babies. I would really love to breastfeed. The doctors will now check if I have enough milk in order for me to feed the babies,” she said.

CUT and Pacofs combine forces THE Central University of Technology (CUT), Free State, and the Performing Arts Centre of the Free State, better known as Pacofs, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Friday. “This MoU that we have signed today is long overdue. Our collaboration with the CUT has always been there. It needs to be nurtured. “We at Pacofs have identified that we have a common goal in respect of our collaboration with the CUT and we see our role as reaching out
to artists in the province; nurturing their talents. “The CUT has resources and capacity to enable us to realize this commitment,” Teboho Macholo, acting CEO of Pacofs, said. “The partnership will ensure that Pacofs provides experimental learning in technical and production areas for CUT students in engineering, communication sciences and fine art programmes so that they graduate. “As we plan to have our own acad-
emy, we believe the CUT will be able to assist Pacofs with proper accreditation of course content and training programmes for youth in the province,” he explained. “This long standing non-formal partnership is now formalised and the two parties will henceforth cooperate by not only exchanging facilities, equipment and services, but also embarking on joint partnership development projects and marketing ventures,” he said. Macholo added that CUT students
will be placed at Pacofs for work-integrated learning (WIL) and staff members come to the CUT and study to retool their skills in career-related programmes. Dr Pakiso Tondi, deputy registrar: Student Services, said that the CUT had such immense talents among their students and Pacofs is an important partner to enhance cultural and social programmes on campus and to help showcase these talents. “The CUT decided to work closely

with industry through the establishment of board committees for its programmes so that students acquire sets of skills and practical implementation experience to meet the demand of job sector and industry.” “Break a leg” – the term used in the theatre world instead of “good luck” – seems apt at the start of another fruitful endeavour undertaken by like-minded institutions that look forward to making a change in the central region.

Bus tragedy commemorated } Tladi Moloi
1 MAY 2013 marked ten years since the Saulspoort Dam bus disaster that killed 51 Cosatu-affiliated trade unionists who were travelling from Kimberley to a major May Day rally in Qwaqwa when a bus plunged into the Saulspoort Dam, near Bethlehem in the Eastern Free State. Only ten people who were in the bus survived what could be the worst road accident in South African history that year. Len Slabbert, who hails from Bethlehem, was a hero as he played a pivotal role in rescuing eight people who survived the tragedy. Slabbert was invited to this year’s celebra-

tion which was hosted in the Goble Park Stadium in Bethlehem to celebrate a decade with Cosatu. He was happy to be part of the celebration and added that what made him more proud was the fact that he had saved some of the people who were involved in the tragedy. “We are celebrating 10 years of people who were trying to fight for the good course. 1 May 2003 is a day that no one will forget. It was an immense tragedy for all of us,” he said. Slabbert said it was an honour for him to help people who were in great distress. He said it was a cold morning. When he was informed about the accident, he could not believe what had happened.
“I had to go there to make sure if what I had been told was true. When I arrived I saw people standing in the water while others where on top of the bus. People who were standing on the bus were cold, wet and could not talk. I went home to fetch a boat so that I could save them. It was not as easy to save them as one could think because the people where desperate to reach land,” he narrated. Slabbert said when he came closer to them they all wanted to jump on the boat but he told them to wait and promised that he would save them all. “I took the first four and I went back for the last four people. While I was saving people the second tragedy happened as the ambulance overturned on its way to the dam. We will remember you,” he said.

Calling all Free State dance crews IT is time to put your best foot forward and compete to win some fabulous prizes and the title of South Africa’s Best Dance Crew. Now in its third season, e-tv’s Step Up or Step Out is once more on the prowl for street dancing teams who can pop, lock, krump, pantsula or move their bodies in any way that will amuse and amaze. Those who think they are talented on the dance floor are invited to come and strutt their stuff to impress a panel of judges at auditions to be held at the Bloemfontein Showgrounds’ Iris Hall on Saturday. “We are hard at work to ensure that the new season unearths dynamic talent that will not only showcase Mzansi’s ever changing dance culture, but also deliver great entertainment value for South African TV audiences. We are certainly pushing the envelope in the new season of Step Up or Step Out,” Monde Twala, e-tv channel head, told Express. The popular DJ Euphonik will take a place at the judging table alongside the multi-talented Khabonina Qubeka and the dance legend Emile Jansen. The deck-spinning maestro will be joined by two new faces on the show – hip-hop icon Slikour who replaces Dalen Lance as presenter, and co-presenter, the petite Y-FM powerhouse Tumi Voster. Arthur Mafokate, the renowned kwaito artist and producer who has played a key role in unearthing and mentoring some
of the dancers who have appeared on the show over the past two years, will be missed. He will be moving on to pursue other career opportunities. “Although we will miss Arthur and Dalen’s valuable contribution to the show, we are excited to announce that Euphonik, Slikour and Tumi Voster will be joining the Step Up or Step Out journey to bring viewers the best of local street culture,” Sivan Pillay, Endemol managing director, said. “We are positive that the addition of the three new faces to the team will be gladly received by viewers. Slikour will bring street cred and wit to the show whilst speaking the language of the youth. Tumi is funky, young, knowledgeable, funny and sassy. “She’s got her finger on the pulse when it comes to music, dance, and fashion and is one of South Africa’s fastest rising stars. From a judging perspective, Euphonik will focus on music interpretation and overall performance value. His international exposure to music and dance puts him in a league unparallelled by many,” Pillay added. Season 3 of the show premiers on Sunday, 23 June, on e-tv at 18:05. Meanwhile, the much-anticipated auditions start at 12:00. For registration, dancers can logon to www.etv.co.za or alternatively they can register at the venue on the day of the auditions.

Families build healthy society } Flora Teckie
CELEBRATING the International Day of Families today is a reminder of the importance of finding ways of strengthening the foundations of family life. Family is a building block and the most important institution of society. Despite the often delicate and difficult situation in modern society and the rapidity of change, families continue to provide the basic and practical life experience of responsibility and of values such as loving, caring and sharing. It is stated in the Baha’i Scriptures that: “If love and agreement are manifest in a single family, that family will advance, become illumined and spiritual; but if enmity and hatred exist within it, destruction and dispersion are inevitable”. In order to achieve unity in the family there is need for nurturing basic spiritual qualities
such as justice, compassion, honesty and trustworthiness, respect for the rights of each family member and observing gender equality. A united family life helps to produce happy, healthy individuals and is the basis of a healthy and peaceful society. Unified and spiritually motivated families have a direct impact on the well-being of the community, the nation and ultimately, the healthy functioning of human society. Strengthening of the family is necessary for development of a social order based on justice and unity. If the vision held by the family is a global one and one of unity, children from the earliest age learn the principle, and the reality of the oneness of humanity. Of course, belief and observance of the principle of oneness of humanity should start at home. Although one’s family may be stable and unit-
ed, excessive and unbalanced attention to the family interests, according to the Universal House of Justice, the governing council of the Bahá’í international community, “can lead to narrow social views, one that is ultimately detrimental to the broader community”. The Universal House of Justice further explains: “How many the stable and united families that, in their intolerance towards one or another segment of society, instil in their younger generations an ‘us and them’ mentality, heedless of the fact that the transmission of such poisonous attitudes stifles in their children love for humanity and hampers their sense of justice. “Small wonder if, upon attaining adulthood, individuals reared in such an environment tend either to be indifferent to the suffering of others or to regard violence and oppression as justified—indeed, even to contribute to tyranny. “What is more, in a repressive society, when
faced with the difficult task of defending human rights and protecting victims of oppression, such individuals may well choose the path of silence or tacit collusion with the oppressor, rather than advocating the cause of justice, impeding thereby their own spiritual development as well as the progress of their nation”. Teaching justice and to be fair-minded to the children in the home is most important to address this problem. According to the Bahá’í Writings: “Children must be so raised as to regard every soul, irrespective of religion, ethnicity, or any other affiliation, as a fellow human being and to hold dear the words [of Bahá’u’lláh] that capture the spirit of the age: ‘The tabernacle of unity hath been raised; regard ye not one another as strangers. Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch’.” For feedback please contact mangaung@bahailsa.org.za; or call 082-773-8301.

Dog had cancer, no signs of rape found } Sidwell Guduka THE Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA)
has denied dog rape claims describing the claims as completely false. Express ran a story last week about
Maseleke Masiba (63) who claimed a man raped her dog, M-Jay, a fortnight ago but the SPCA has denied
the allegations. “The bestiality claims are not true. We conducted rape tests on the dog but
the results were negative. “In fact, we discovered that the dog has vaginal cancer. So we
put the dog down on Saturday. “The other thing is the cancer was going to spread to other dogs if she were to mate with them,” Marie-Louise McKensey, SPCA inspector, told Express. Meanwhile, Masiba insisted that MJay was raped by a man. “I’m in my full senses. I saw a man raping her. I was not dreaming. I can’t make such false claims,” Masiba said. “The SPCA took my dog away on Thursday. I was not
around when they came. My daughter gave them permission to remove the dog.” When Express told Masiba that M-Jay had been put down, she said: “How can they kill M-Jay without my permission? I’m really disappointed. They must replace my dog.” McKensey said they tried to get hold of Masiba without any luck before putting the dog down at the weekend. “We had been calling her on her cellphone but she didn’t
take our calls. So we continued with our decision to put the dog down,” she explained.
