IT is that time of year again when pilots will be showcasing their skills at the 2013 Bethlehem Airshow. A number of aeroplanes, from Cape to Cairo, will entertain the crowd.
The annual event, which attracts many people from across the country, is scheduled for Saturday. Gates will open at 07:00. This airshow, which has put the Dihlabeng Local Municipality and the Free State on the map, promises fireworks – it has been growing every year.

BEST FRIENDS: James Mokoena of Kestell in the Eastern Free State with his best friend, John the sheep. Photo: Lesego Ditheko
Pet quite a character } Lesego Ditheko
THERE are many examples of exceptional relationships between man and animal. Express found one such relationship, in this case between James and John. Much like the Biblical brothers James and John, who followed Jesus Christ, James Mokoena from Kestell is followed everywhere by his good friend, John. The interesting thing is that John is a five-month-old sheep.
According to 38year-old James, it is unlikely that his best friend John will end up on the dinner table, as James is a strict vegetarian. James does concede that normally sheep are used for meat and providing wool, but he insists that this will not be John’s ultimate fate. “After John’s mother gave birth to him, she refused to feed him and I decided to take him in – he has been by my side ever since,” he says with a smile.
James says as both he and John are vegetarians, John eats everything he does. “He eats almost everything, but his favourites are cookies, bananas and grass,” says James. His love for animals, James explains, and the gift of being an animal whisperer, began years ago after he had broken his leg. “I was an athlete and one day I broke my leg and because of the injury I began spending time with my animals,” he said. James describes
his pet sheep as human, hence he gave him a human name. The sheep does everything that he does. “He sleeps in the house, walks around with me in the streets and eats the normal food that a vegetarian eats. He also loves driving in a car. “I have a friend by the name of Oom Roos. John loves being in his car, his favourite seat is in the front.” Another animal that James has adopted, a small male wild goat named Jonas, unfortunately does not get along with John. James explains that Jonas is still young and is intimidated by John. James says his wish is to see John grow to take part in animal shows as this will not only display the bond that they share, but also create an opportunity for him to receive a little incentive. The jolly sheep loves eating, is scared of dogs and James says when he needs to answer the call of nature, the sign that he gives is to stand motionless. James will then open the door for him to go relieve himself outside. Visit our website, www.expressnews.co.za to see a video of these two friends.

ANGIE MOTSHEKGA (left), Education minister, is flanked by her Free State counterpart, Tate Makgoe, at the unveiling of the handover plaque at the Thokoana Makaota High School.
Excelling schools rewarded } Lesego Ditheko EXCELLING schools in the Thabo Mofutsanyane District were last week rewarded with state-of-the-art science and computer laboratories. Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga and her Free State counterpart, MEC Tate Makgoe, together with the Kagiso Trust and the Beyers Naudé Foundation, officially handed over the laboratories and libraries to nine deserving schools. The nine schools, eight high schools and a primary school, were handed the muchneeded equipment following their improvement in the gr. 12 pass rates. According to the Kagiso Trust’s ICT director, Darryl Lund, the aim of the project was to improve the quality of education in the country and not only in the Thabo Mofutsanyane area.
Last year’s improvement of the province’s matric results, that placed the province in the top three best-performing provinces in the country, made the Kagiso Trust take note, Lund explained. Meanwhile, Motshekga explained the importance of creating not only a top-class environment, but also creating a clean environment for learners. She best explained the quantity and quality of the education as that which has not only improved, but exceeded that target that was placed. She expressed a feeling of achievement for she had always wanted to improve the quality of the Outcome-Based Education Curriculum in the country. In each of the nine schools that received the revamp, the computer laboratory was fitted with 40 computers while the library was fitted with new books and the science
laboratory with all the apparatus needed by the learners to do their experiments. The first school at which the minister handed the equipment over was the Thokoana Makaota High School that uses the theme Hustlers Never Give Up in the Mabolela Village. The minister opened the handover at the school where she encouraged learners to focus on school and advised them to leave the streets, because they would not take them anywhere. Dineo Mofokeng, who is a gr. 11 Life Science pupil at the school, expressed her feelings of joy. “I am happy that the department did this for us and one of the things that we are grateful for is that we no longer have to walk kilometres to use the university’s apparatus and we will also not disturb the students,” she said. John Xaba, a Life Science teacher at the

school, expressed his feelings of happiness after the handover took place. “I can’t explain how I feel about what the Kagiso Trust did for us. The science stream here in our school had been struggling since 1990, but today we will struggle no more,” said Xaba. According to the Makgoe the department and the Kagiso Trust together raised R180 million to kickstart the programme that started in 2008 and though it seemed like it was preferential, the aim was not based on that, the aim was based on improving the standard of schools in the province and the criteria used for that was based on the pass rate of the schools. If the pass rate improved, like it did for the nine schools, then the trust and department will start from scratch in building the laboratories and renovations needed.

Dialogue hosted
THE Free State Legislature’s Multi-Party Caucus through the Office of the Speaker will be hosting a dialogue for women in the Mangaung Metro. The caucus is aimed at promoting good governance through developing programmes that facilitate public access, involvement and information in a more comprehensive and integrated manner. The caucus comprises all women MPLs, including members of the Executive Council as well as a designated representative of the Speaker’s Office. Women’s Month is politically significant for the Free State Provincial Legislature in the context that it provides opportunity, space and time to women members of the Legislature to work together in an impartial and a political manner to address social issues affecting women in the province. The mandate of the caucus is to focus on concerns which are pertinent to vulnerable groups. The activity creates a platform
for vulnerable groups from various sectors of Free State society to meet and enter into dialogue on the achievements and the challenges encountered. The caucus thus becomes the listening forum for vulnerable groups to relate their experiences directly to Members of the Legislature. This serves as an important consultative forum for mutually beneficial dialogue between policy-makers and the vulnerable groups. The theme for Women’s Month is Dedicated Women influence the course of History. Last year’s event focused on social issues affecting child-headed families and old women, with the target being women and girls residing in rural or far-flung areas in the province, where services of government are, due to various reasons, not easily accessible. The women and girl-child constitute the vulnerable sector of the population and those in rural or far-flung areas are the
most disadvantaged. The 2013 Women’s Month event focuses on ensuring effective and efficient participating of young women in the economy, assisting them to form cooperatives. It will also encourage young women to use public participation channels to voice their concerns, learn and know how the Legislature functions as well as promoting safety and health care for young women. The caucus this year focuses on young women – there will be a dialogue of young women focusing on five key priorities of government for 2013 as mentioned in the State of the Nation Address by the president in February, namely education and skills, health, creation of decent jobs, crime, corruption as well as rural development and land distribution. Various departments such us Health, Education, Sport, Police, Roads and Transport, the Government Communication and Information Systems (GCIS) will be in partnership.
Kunene quits EFF leadership positions BUSINESSMAN Kenny Kunene has quit his leadership positions in the newly-formed Economic Freedom Front (EFF) with immediate effect, it was reported last week Wednesday. Kunene told The Star newspaper that he was resigning from his position on the central command team as well as his role as the head of campaigns, mobilisation and special
projects, after “considering a lot of things”. He added that there were still decisions to be made on the way forward. “Obviously I would like to see economic freedom being realised and I will remain an economic freedom fighter for ordinary people. “The direction I am taking from now will determine if I will still be ac-
tive in the EFF,” he told The Star. Kunene, known as the “Sushi King”, was seen as a crowd-pulling asset for former ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema’s new political party. He said Malema had “accepted and respected” his resignation, and that he still believed the party had a future “even when I am not there”. – News24

South African men, stop the abuse WE have come to the end of Women’s Month that has been celebrated with much deserved fanfare. The message has been unambiguously sent to South African men of all races to treat our young girls, sisters, mothers and grandmothers with respect befitting a human being. Nevertheless, allow me to register my utter disgust with the provocative and violent nature that characterises a South African man of our time. There is a perturbing statistic that every 17 seconds a woman is raped in South Africa. Census 2011 reported that there are
My view Lehlohonolo Nyetanyane Social observer about 26 582 769 female people in South Africa, meaning women far out-number men in South Africa. Surprisingly, the South African prison population is conspicuously male with our country being
ranked seventh in the world as far as the highest number of people serving prison sentences is concerned. In his speech on Women’s Day, Pres. Jacob Zuma said, “In the period between 2010 and 2013, the courts have imposed 1 114 life sentences to those found guilty of serious crimes”. Men of varying ages are serving time for heinous crimes such as murder, armed-robbery, rape and assault just to mention a few. As a man, I would naturally be expected to be chauvinistic in thinking and my orientation. I could have chosen to ignore the anger that dominates men’s psyche
because I’m one of their own. By virtue of being a man, I am less likely to be at the receiving end of men’s gruesome behaviour. Game rangers unanimously agree that in the animal kingdom males that assume the role of fathers are the ones that provide food and protection for their entire clan. They inculcate discipline and ensure that none trespass into their territory. Out of a sense of moral integrity, I have therefore chosen to highlight and explore some of the most brutal incidents that were carried out by South African men across the racial lines. Making international headlines in November 2010, 28-year-old Anni Dewani, a British tourist on honeymoon in Cape Town, was murdered in cold blood by three South African men. The three men, Xolile Mngeni, Mziwamadoda Qwabe and Zola Tongo, were allegedly hired by Shrien Dewani to orchestrate and execute his wife’s murder. The three South Africans have since been handed hefty sentences and are already languishing in prison, while the state awaits Shrien Dewani’s extradition to account for murder of his wife to whom he was married for just two weeks. Another case that portrayed men as monsters was the bodily mutilation and gang rape of Ina Bonnette by three men who were hired by her estranged husband on 3 January 2012. The man dubbed “The Modimolle monster”, Johan Kotze and his three accomplices have been sentenced to life imprisonment by the Pretoria High Court on 17 July. A glamorous international model, Reeva Steenkamp, was shot dead on 14 February by her boyfriend at the Silver Wood Estate in Pretoria. A Paralympic gold- medallist, Oscar Pistorius admitted to shooting four times through a bathroom door thinking the elegant model was an intruder. Of all days, Steenkamp died on Valentine’s Day when she was supposed to be romanticised. The state is yet to prove if Steenkamp’s murder was premeditated. A high level of education and professional fields has not shrugged off the monster mentality from which most of our brothers suffer. Statistically, the South African Police Service recorded 64 514 cases of sexual offences in the 2011-’12 period. The immoral trend of male teachers raping and impregnating teenage school girls continues unabated. Innocent girls are coerced into sexual relations with their teachers and are sadly left with fatherless children. Health professionals such as male nurses have recently made front page headlines in Limpopo and Eastern Cape for sexually preying on terminally-ill patients. In lieu of redeeming lost souls, a number of pastors is incarcerated for raping and indecently assaulting their congregants, while sangomas are behind bars for doing the same to those seeking spiritual guidance. Mido Macia, originally from Mozambique, was hand-cuffed to a police van and dragged along a stretch of road for parking his vehicle on the wrong side. He suffered severe injuries to his body that allegedly led to his death in police custody. Macia was a victim of nine male police officers stationed in Daveyton. The South African Anxiety Society has reported that 60% of suicides are committed by men in the security cluster, particularly the police. Big up, to all women in these demanding professions who perform their duties immaculately. They remain committed to their professional ethics, not using stress and work-related pressure as an excuse for barbarism. As for Vavi, you don’t sleep with a married woman and cry political conspiracy! Consensual or not, you dare not dishonour somebody’s wife like that and be diplomatic about it. To all men who have turned our beloved South Africa into a breeding ground for monsters, please refer to Michael Jackson’s 1991 hit song when he mellifluously sang “Heal the world; make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race”.

Cheetahs need comeback } Sidwell Guduka NAKA DROTSÉ, the Toyota Cheetahs coach, believes that his side can bounce back after back-to-back defeats took the gloss off their opening-day win against the Golden Lions. The Cheetahs suffered their second loss of the Currie Cup Series at the hands of the Sharks in Bloemfontein last Friday, going down 15-18 in a closely contested affair. Before that fixture, Drotské’s troops lost 14-15 to the Western Province in Cape Town a fortnight ago. The Cheetahs will be hoping to return to winning ways at the expense of the Griquas, whom they meet at the Free State Stadium on Saturday. “It is important not to let the mood drop after such disappointing defeats. We will bounce back, because the spirit and focus in the team is good. We have to win all our home games and climb up the Currie Cup ladder. It is going to be a dog fight for all six teams. “You are going to win close games, and you are going to lose close games,” Drotské told Express. The Senekal-born mentor said the Cheetahs had themselves to blame for Friday’s loss. “Tonight I think we lost against ourselves. We made too many unforced errors where we had knock-ons on the attack. I thought we played too
literal as well. But full credit to the Sharks for defending well. “We should have played more directly. In the first half we scored two tries by playing directly and, for some reason, in the second half we played more literally and were inept on the attack. That cost us the game in the end,” a clearly disappointed Drotské said. The coach attributed his side’s failure to not scoring in the second half. Against the Western Province the Cheetahs led 14-10 at the break, but they went on to lose the match by 14-15. In a similar scenario, the Cheetahs were 15-13 up against the Sharks going into the half-time, but they allowed the visitors to register an 18-15 comefrom-behind victory. “This is a great concern for us. In all three games we had a comfortable lead at halftime – two of them we lost in the last minutes. It is important for us to score in both halves of the match to win games. We will fix that problem at the training sessions. The one thing we need to learn, is to know how to finish the games. “All Currie Cup games are going to be 50/50 calls. Those who want to finish first or second on the log need to know how to win these 50/50 games.” Kick-off, on Saturday against Griquas is scheduled for 15:00.

EACH YEAR the Sasol New Signatures Art Competition raises the bar from previous competitions and this year notable improvements were seen from the works submitted. Artists have experimented with new media and multiple modes of expression to convey messages showing true innovation, lifting the quality of work received. For the past 24 years, Sasol, in partnership with the Association of Arts Pretoria, has played an influential role in unearthing artistic talent in South Africa through the New Signatures Competition. The competition allows entrants to enter the world of extraordinary artistry while also giving them the platform to make their artistic signatures known. “This year, we also saw an increase in submissions that reflect people’s personal experiences and bring pertinent social, economic, political and psychological issues to the fore. With the awards ceremony steadily approaching, the judges had their work cut out for them as they chose the winning piece from a pool of 97 artworks,” explained Peter Binsbergen, national chairperson of the Sasol New Signatures selection panel. “The New Signatures Art Competition aims to inspire creativity among emerging artists, while simultaneously increasing South Africa’s appreciation for the arts,” said Richard Hughes, Sasol’s sponsorship manager. The overall winner will receive R60 000 and the opportunity to showcase a solo exhibition at the Pretoria Arts Museum next year. The runner-up and five merit award recipients will receive R20 000 and R5 000 respectively. Winners will be announced today at the Pretoria Arts Museum and the Sasol New Signatures Art Competition Exhibition will be open to the public from tomorrow until 13 October. Also exhibiting during this period for the first time to South African art lovers is Ingrid Bolton, winner of the 2012 Sasol New Signatures Art Competition.

God will always bless you } Pastor Willie Norris MARK 10:28-30: Peter said to him, we have left everything to follow you. I tell you the truth, Jesus replied, on one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields and with them, persecutions and in the age to come eternal life. Two things that Jesus sorted out for Peter. The first being the blessings to come to a person. The reward of what the person sacrificed in giving to Jesus and the gospel. This ranges from money,
material possessions and relationships being sacrificed. Jesus said a hundred fold will be returned to the one who will sacrifice. These returns are far more than the person interested by giving it to Jesus and the gospel. The promise is as relevant as it
makes it clear that it will be here on earth while living here on earth. The second promise that many does not want that runs with the blessing is persecutions. These persecutions which are mostly there in an unjust way. But they are there. You also need to understand that Jesus will not leave you if you are in that state where you are persecuted. He will help you, even if it seems like he is not there for you. You have to know that in everything, Jesus loves you. Nothing can change his love for you. Remember, he will always be with you and he will bless you.

UIF has a toll free number THE Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) has put in place a new toll-free number to assist and save its beneficiaries costs when calling the UIF call centre. The toll-free number (080084-3843 or 0800 UIF UIF) will be a welcome relief to more than 20 000 UIF beneficiaries
who call the UIF on a monthly basis. The previous number, 012337-1680, meant that UIF beneficiaries who were already facing financial difficulties bore the costs of making a call to the UIF to enquire about its services. “It gives me great pleasure
to inform UIF beneficiaries about the new toll-free number. “It is a great pleasure to know that the new number will lessen the financial burden when doing business with the fund,” Boas Seruwe, the UIF commissioner, said. The previous number,
which is widely used by UIF beneficiaries, will continue to be operational, but UIF clients are encouraged to save costs and use the new number. Beneficiaries can use the new number to enquire about any services that the UIF provides.

A better world needs pure, good deeds } Flora Teckie WE all would like to live in a better world. But how do we achieve it? The efforts by individuals and society, mainly based on a materialistic approach, have not been able to bring about a better world. The creation of a peaceful and just society, in which people of diverse background cooperate and live in harmony, will require a re-orientation of individual and collective goals and transformation in attitudes and behaviours. According to the Bahá’í Writings, the “betterment of the world can be accomplished through pure and goodly deeds, through commendable and seemly conduct.” The emphasis is placed on purity of intention and sincerity, when one performs good deeds. That is when greatest results are achieved. “One can hardly imagine what a great influence genuine love, truthfulness and purity of motives exert on the souls of men. But these traits cannot be acquired by any believer unless he makes a daily effort to gain them . . .”, confirm the Bahá’í Scriptures. Acquiring knowledge and insight into the Holy Writings is the first step towards personal transformation, as studying the Creative Word of God in depth helps the individual to obtain a more adequate understanding of God’s Revelation and to translate these teachings into reality. The knowledge acquired is then applied to effect individual and collective transformation, leading to the betterment of the world. Bahá’u’lláh says: “O people of God! Do not busy yourselves in your own concerns; let your thoughts be fixed upon that which will rehabilitate the fortunes of mankind and sanctify the hearts and souls of men.
This can best be achieved through pure and holy deeds, through a virtuous life and a goodly behaviour”. A moral person, therefore, would consciously and actively be engaged in performing actions that promote not only individual, but also social transformation. God has given us free will and all human behaviour is an expression of our capacity to choose and make decisions. We have the choice between justice and injustice and the power both to do good and to do evil. We have the capacity to override the needs of our lower nature in keeping with ethical requirements. We also have the capacity to control and channel our natural drives and urges and to transform them into human perfections. Our moral and spiritual advancement is crucial to our well-being in both this life and the next. As Bahá’u’lláh counsels: “Possess a pure, kindly and radiant heart, that thine may be a sovereignty ancient, imperishable and everlasting”. Belief in the immortality of the soul and in an all-knowing judging God ought to provide us with sufficient motivation for moral conduct. According to the Bahá’í Writings, to accept the Messenger of God in His time and to observe all the ordinances revealed by Him are the two inseparable duties which each soul is created to fulfil: “ . . . the foundation of success and salvation is the knowledge of God, and that the results of the knowledge of God are the good actions which are the fruits of faith”. Our daily efforts to put into action the teachings of God with pure intentions will result in our own spiritual development and the transformation of the society around us.

Legend to share rugby knowledge } Sidwell Guduka UP-AND-COMING youngsters from the HTS Louis Botha will be given the opportunity to be coached by the former Golden Lions mentor, John Mitchell. Mitchell, who is famous for guiding the Lions to Currie Cup victory, will descend on the HTS Louis Botha’s sports grounds in Bloemfontein to put young rugby players through their paces today. Powerade, the official hydration sponsor of the Vodacom Super Rugby Series, commissioned Mitchell to devise a programme to help both school coaches and players to excel in the competitive and exciting game of rugby. He will impart his wealth of rugby knowledge and experience on coaches and players via the Powerade Performance Sessions. Mitchell’s programme is designed with Powerade’s ‘Power Through’ philosophy in mind, giving coaches the necessary tools to develop their athletes. The philosophy focuses on finding strength, conviction and belief in those moments of low performance, self-doubt or discouragement. Trivern Chetty, brand manager of Sports and Energy at The Coca-Cola Company, said: “It is the role of a coach to motivate, inspire as well as to provide useful information on training regimes to assist their athletes when facing challenges, which they will do at every level in their sport.” He added: “We want to inspire and motivate young individuals to make sure they maintain
their forward momentum and achieve their goals. We know that coaches also play the role of mentor and guidance counsellor and we want to empower coaches who will in turn inspire the players”. The HTS Louis Botha was one of 40 schools from a total of 100 across the country that won a Powerade Performance Session with Mitchell. Coaches that come into contact with Mitchell during these campaigns will also be able to stay up to date with peak performance by means of signing up for the communications developed by the ex-All Blacks and Lions coach himself. A select group of coaches will receive a training tips newsletter twice a month from Mitchell. This communication will take the form of skills training content, pictures and links to video demonstrations from the sessions as well as great competitions to participate in. In total, Mitchell will teach approximately 2 400 rugby players from 40 schools about what it takes to ‘Power Through’ from school boy rugby to Super Rugby and beyond. He will be demonstrating new techniques, drills and give guidance on other performance related aspects of training, like hydration, before, during and after matches. Meanwhile, the rugby legend will have similar sessions in the Northern Cape at the Hoërskool Diamantveld and Northern Cape High School tomorrow and Friday respectively. All three sessions start at 15:00.

Celtic targets win against City } Sidwell Guduka BLOEMFONTEIN CELTIC have described today’s Absa Premiership clash against Polokwane City at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane as a must-win fixture to end their winless streak. This comes after Celtic’s poor start to the league campaign after losing 3-1 to Mamelodi Sundowns at home, before being bundled out of the lucrative MTN8 Cup by BidVest Wits who humbled the Mangaung side by 3-0. Phunya Sele Sele star Vuyani Ntanga said they wanted to win against City to boost their confidence ahead of the derby match against Free State Stars that will be played at the Free State Stadium on Sunday (15:00). “We have recovered from those defeats and are now focusing on our game against City on Wednesday. We are going to treat it like a
cup final. We will settle for nothing else but a win,” Ntanga said. “It is important for us to start winning matches early in the season. “Scoring and conceding goals have been our main problem, but we have rectified our mistakes at training. “We’ll make sure that we score goals and keep it water-tight at the back,” he added. Ntanga said their focus was not yet on the up-coming Free State Derby. “We are taking one game at the time. Our focus is on City and we’ll shift it to Stars after 90 minutes. All I can say, is that we are determined to collect six points in a matter of days.” Tonight’s match starts at 19:30.
