Ace in a giving mood Scramble for Wolhuterskop comes to a surprising end
} Selloane Khalane THE battle to secure the Wolhuterskop Game Reserve in Bethlehem by the Tyrannus Apostolic Church is coming to an end, the Free State government has said. “No one denied Jesus a mountain when he wanted to pray,” said Economic Development MEC, Mosebenzi Zwane. Zwane was one of many MECs, senior managers and ANC leadership attending the church’s moral regeneration men’s march against woman and child abuse on Sunday. The church’s senior pastor, Apostle Simon Mokoena, told congregants who had flocked to the service that the Free State government had signed over the land to the church. Mokoena told congregants that a certain “white party” was hindering the processes of allowing the church to purchase the land. “Why would you vote for a party that won’t give you this land,” Mokoena questioned his congregants during the sermon. Mokoena urged congregants to vote for a party that was “for” the church. In August, DA Free State legislature member Roy Jankielsohn opened a case of fraud and conspiracy to commit theft against Premier Ace Magashule. The case follows a promise made by Magashule to hand over the title deed of the land to the church during a youth conference in Botshabelo in August. Zwane told Volksblad, parent paper of Express, he has instructed the Dihlabeng Municipality to erect a fence around a part of the game reserve being utilised by the church to ensure that birds and animals at the game reserve are protected. “The church’s application to use the game reserve followed guidelines and was therefore approved,” Zwane said. During the event Magashule campaigned for the 2014 national elections and told congregants the ANC belonged to them and Mokoena. “We would not lead if it was not for your prayers and support,” Magashule said. During an interview with Volksblad Magashule said the Free State government was partnering with the church to eliminate social ills and improve the moral fibre of society. Magashule said government supported the churches endeavours to secure the land and use it for church activities. “The land is our heritage as Africans, the land that was stolen from us,” Magashule said. Although the church is not yet the official owner of the game reserve, the name of the church has been inscribed on a hill in the game reserve.

AG Nombembe’s term ends } Sidwell Guduka THE Free State Government on Thursday held a farewell function for the outgoing Auditor General (AG), Terence Nombembe. The event was held at Emoya Estate in Bloemfontein and was attended by Ace Magashule, the premier of the Free State, and MECs Sisi Ntombela, Mamiki Qabathe, Butana Komphela as well as Msebenzi Zwane. Nombembe’s term comes to an end in November after serving in that office for a period of seven years. As the first black person to hold the AG position in the history of South Africa, Nombembe has been applauded for his sterling and professional performance. Speaking at the event, Magashule said: “As the Free State Province, we have benefited from Nombembe’s visionary leadership. His skills and values have inculcated the culture
Study loans are vital
AS the 2013 academic year rapidly draws to a close, many students and their parents should consider their financial planning for the coming year. Student loans open the doors to a good tertiary education even when access to bursaries and funds are limited. “Student loans are a sound investment in the future and a convenient way to pay for student fees, computers, books and accommodation. These loans are easily accessible providing the student’s parent or guardian earns more than R6 000/month and the application meets NCA criteria. “A pre-requisite for an FNB Life Start Student Loan is proof of registration in an academic institution,” says CEO of FNB Personal Loans, Pieter Du Toit. The FNB student loan offers a six-month payment holiday on the capital portion of loan from the date of graduation. Interest payments must be made from the date of taking the loan. “For FNB customers, access to a Life Start Student Loan is easy and can be completed via Online Banking, a FNB branch or the call centre. We require an ID book for the student and the guardian/parent and loan amounts start from R 4 000. Students can re-apply for additional amounts at any time after the loan has been granted,” adds Du Toit. The bank notes that demand for student loans increased by almost 5% last year, due largely to increased tuition fees and families placing a much greater emphasis on post-matric qualifications. Loan values have also increased by more than 13%. “A tertiary education is critical to your child’s future employment and career opportunities. This is not limited to typical academic qualifications, but includes growing numbers of students seeking diplomas in high-demand areas such as trade skills and specialist computer skills. “Very often these students and their families struggle to purchase laptop computers, specialist equipment and books. Loans can be used for any student requirements,” adds Du Toit.
of hard work and prudence amongst all government departments. “It is that culture that has propelled us to organise government work and improve our general performance resulting in clean audit outcomes. “We wish him all the best in his future endeavours. I hope that he will still use his skills to mentor the young people in areas such as chartered accounting,” the premier said. During Nombembe’s term in office he managed to raise the profile of the AG to greater heights. His audit reports have been rated as very credible by various sectors in the country. He also contributed significantly in assisting government departments to treat internal audits as a strategic function to ensure that money was well spent. “As the Auditor General’s Offices we have found each other after a long journey of trial and error. All we can do now is to under-
stand that we can work together. We need to sustain our relationships,” Nombembe said. “We just need to lift our game and pace in which we do what needs to be done. One of those things that needs to be done is to strengthen those underlying pillars that will always produce information that all of us can be proud of,” he added. Kimi Makwetu, the current deputy auditor general, is set to take over as the country’s AG from Nombembe at the end of next month. Meanwhile, at the same function the Office of the Premier, Department of Treasury and Arts, Culture, Sport and Recreation received awards for obtaining clean audits. The Office of the Premier received clean audits for two successive years: in 2010-’11 and 2011-’12, while the Provincial Treasury received a clean audit for three consecutive years, the first in 2009-’10, 2010-’11 and then 2011-’12.

Malema confident of victory } Tladi Moloi
JULIUS MALEMA, the Economic Freedom Fighters’ (EFF) commander in chief, is adamant that his new political party will be in government next year after the 2014 national elections. Malema said that during an interview with Express Eastern Free State during his recent visit to Qwaqwa. When asked how many seats he was targeting in parliament Malema said they did not target seats because the EFF would be in government next year. “Our benchmark is that we are the government in waiting. We don’t aim at seats. Those who aim at seats are the opposition. We are not the opposition. We’ll be the government next year. We can’t talk about seats. Whatever the number required to get government, that is the number we are targeting.” Malema said they wanted to be in power because the ANC had failed the people. He said it was time they changed the lives of South Africans. “The longer you stay in power the more you adjust to wrong things. The ANC has overstayed its welcome. We are almost 20 years into our democracy, but many of you are unemployed and some have given up on getting jobs,” he said. Malema said people should not vote for the DA because it was not a solution. “The DA is a white ANC and the ANC is a black DA. They are pushing

The DA in Cape Town and the ANC did the same in Moqhaka. “If the ANC was forced to go for a coalition government, the party would surely go for the DA. They will not go with the party that proposes that idea, they would prefer to be the ones to propose it to the DA. Why? They are all serving one master. Who is the master? The master is the white monopoly on capital,” said the outspoken Malema. Malema said the EFF policy would not be found anywhere else because it included the redistribution of land

building state capacity in order to eradicate tenders because they outsourced things that should be done by the state to the private sector. He said the youth had looked at their policies and realised that there was potential in the party. He said they also realised that their future could look better. Industrialisation, nationalisation and the country would create more jobs. “We want land and mines. Land made the people who they are, if they did not have land, they wouldn’t have had the best education and best facilities because they all came from the
land. We are in this state because we don’t have the land,” he said. He said their leadership was genuine and it would liberate people from the state of poverty. “The EFF does not pretend to be caring whereas everybody else is sleeping with white landowners for the means of production,” he said. He said the ANC had brought shame to the people of South Africa and that was why they were walking like a defeated nation. He added that even 1994 had not brought glory to South Africans as they remained defeated. “We are even worse off than in 1994. At least before that year we knew we were defeated. When we say we want the land we want to restore your confidence. No one can tell you that you cannot have a farm. Children of Afrikaners have inherited this stolen land. “Most of them have not been to school. No one asks them how they will maintain a farm without any education. When we say they should give the land back to the blacks they say they are not educated. But truth be told, black people are the ones working there,” he said. “Anybody who is fighting with the Boers, they say that person is a problem. They are saying there should be reconciliation and peace. What peace before we get what belongs to us? There will never be reconciliation and peace without justice. Justice must happen first. What is justice? What has been stolen from you must be returned, then you can forgive them. Then we can say to them we forgive you. We’ll say to them: ‘We don’t want you to leave with nothing, take this portion.’ We are failing to do so because they are still holding on to what belongs to us. “They should give us back the mines and farms.” To listen to the audio clip, log on to www.express-news.co.za or expresspaper.mobi.

Social development brings holistic peace } Flora Teckie LAST month we celebrated the International Day of Peace and this month on 17 October we will be observing the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. How does poverty link with peace? Obviously, we cannot achieve lasting peace on this planet without resolving the complex problems of social and economic development that are afflicting our societies. We cannot consider peace as a condition characterised simply by absence of conflict when millions of people die yearly from starvation, disease and poverty. Development strategies used currently, however sincerely conceived and executed, are not achieving what they were intended for. In most of the world, the gap between rich and poor has widened. Social problems have not subsided. In fact, crime is not only increasing but it is becoming more difficult to combat. According to the Universal House of Justice (the governing council of the Bahá’í international community), in a 1985 statement entitled ‘the Promise of World Peace’: “The inordinate disparity between rich and poor, a source of acute suffering, keeps the world in a state of instability, virtually on the brink of war. “Few societies have dealt effectively with this situation. The solution calls for the combined application of spiritual, moral and practical approaches. “A fresh look at the problem is required, entailing consultation with experts from a wide spectrum of disciplines and involving the people directly affected in the decisions that must urgently be made.” The current concept of social and economic development, which has been based mainly on a materialistic approach, has not been able to solve the problems for which it was intended. It has neither been capable of leading humanity to the tranquillity and prosperity which it seeks.
This is to a great extent because the spiritual nature of humankind and the role of religion in influencing our attitudes and the spirit, in which we carry out everything, including our development projects, have been forgotten or ignored. “No matter how far the material world advances,” the Baha’i writings state, “it cannot establish the happiness of mankind. “Only when material and spiritual civilization are linked and coordinated will happiness be assured. “And also that, successful development efforts require, above all, a spirit of cooperation and collaboration among the participants in the development process. “The absence of such a spirit of common endeavour up to the present time – within local communities and nations as well as between countries – constitutes in our view the main reason for the limited success and the persistence of gross economic inequalities. “The required higher level of cooperation can only be motivated by a sincere appreciation for the unity of all human beings. “Only on such a basis can prejudices related to nation, race, religion, sex and other prejudices that hinder determined and equitable development activities be eradicated.” In order to cultivate an attitude of cooperation at all the levels of society, there is need for universal education in the concepts of the oneness of humanity and world citizenship. Besides, science and religion should be used both in order to come up with effective strategies and plans for the kind of development we are seeking. Religious and spiritual values should be viewed not as separate from “real world concerns,” but as vital sources of knowledge and motivation, as source of values, insight, and energy without which social cohesion and collective action are difficult, if not impossible, to achieve.

NGO gives back to needy kids } Lesego Ditheko
TWENTY unemployed graduates from different institutions have come together to give back what they have learned and to assist needy children from around Bloemfontein. Isaiah Lesoro, originally from Meqheleng in Ficksburg, together with other unemployed graduates from Bloemfontein, say they feel there should be a mediator between the government and the needy. To achieve this, the group started Freshly Young Minds, a nonprofit organisation. During the last three years, the organisation with its 20 members has been a bridge between some poverty-stricken families in Mangaung and the government. According to Lesoro, the graduates from different fields met in 2011 without any hope of finding employment and decided to establish an organisation where they would use the skills they acquired
from their tertiary institutions respectively for the good of the community. They identified three schools, Mangaung Primary School, Legae Intermediate School and Kgabane Primary School. Out of those schools they identified 36 learners – 12 learners from each school – who not only struggle financially but also had trouble at home. According to Lesoro, the CEO of the organisation, the members use their own money to assist the identified learners. He says he has personally spent about R11 800 since the organisation started. “Every month I spend R3 000 which is used for the learners’ food and clothing. “It is also used for the members’ travelling expenses including administration costs. This has put me in debt as I have multiple jobs to sustain not only myself but also the organisation,” he says. Within the organisation, 10 make up the management while the other 10 are board members.
Lesoro says among the board members are professionals such as doctors, professors and teachers but added that these members do not assist the organisation financially, but help with administration, managing the finances and drafting learning programmes for the learners. This vibrant and compassionate leader volunteers at the NG Church Wilgehof as a counsellor to domestic workers, as a field worker at Batho Clinic and also works for sport channel SuperSport when they cover games in Bloemfontein. He says the organisation would gladly accept any assistance in finding new offices, office furniture and finances to help in remunerating the other members in the form of stipends.

Celtic want to redeem themselves } Sidwell Guduka BLOEMFONTEIN CELTIC will be looking to redeem themselves when they take on Kaizer Chiefs in the Macufe Cup on Sunday. Reigning champions Phunya Sele Sele, got hammered by 4-0 by ruthless Mamelodi Sundowns in an Absa Premiership match played in Botshabelo this past weekend – the result that saw Clinton Larsen’s tenure as head coach of the club come to an abrupt end. The match between Celtic and Chiefs is expected to draw a capacity crowd at the Free State Stadium where both sides met in a league encounter
recently. In Chiefs, Celtic come up against a side that has been such a mean machine this season. Amakhosi will be keen to wrestle back a trophy they lost to Siwelele last year at the same venue as Celtic emerged 4-3 victors after fulltime. “We are happy to be part of Macufe once more. The spirit of celebrating cultural activities and the arts align well with Chiefs. “We would like to be associated with arts and culture and as a growing football brand we are playing in the lifestyle space, and we think Macufe is the right platform to be associated with. It
is about brand positioning while entertaining the revellers at Macufe,” Jessica Motaung, Kaizer Chiefs’ marketing director, told the club’s official website. Tickets for the match cost R30 (kids), R50 (open stand) and R60 (grand stand) at Computicket. Meanwhile, the Toyota Cheetahs will host the Blue Bulls in a must-win Currie Cup match at the Free State Stadium on Saturday. Naka Drotské’s men have to collect maximum points to cement their place in the knockout stages of the competition. Kick-off is at 17:05.

Mini-cricket kids ready for Proteas
THE kids from Mokitlane Primary School in Thaba Nchu will rub shoulders with the Proteas players this Wednesday. Photo: Duif du Toit
ISHMAEL MOLETE, a KFC MiniCricket coach of the Mokitlane Primary School in Thaba Nchu, entered his KFC Mini-Cricket team into the KFC Mini-Cricket Kids vs Proteas Tour competition. He has won the opportunity to field his own team of young girls and boys to play in the first of seven exciting tour matches against the Proteas at the Mmabana Stadium in Thaba Nchu today. The event kicks off at midday. Launched in September with an exhibition match at Monte Casino in Johannesburg, the KFC Mini-Cricket Kids vs Proteas Tour provides the opportunity for kids around South Africa to play against their Proteas heroes. A KFC Mini-Cricket coach since 2011, Molete heard about the competition at a KFC Mini-Cricket seminar. Naturally, his school, like many others, has never had the chance to play a sport against professionals, so the news of winning was met with both excitement and a fair amount of nerves. There are approximately 500 kids at the rural Mokitlane Primary School. There are no existing cricket fields at the school, so Molete and his young cricketers have to use the soccer and netball areas to play KFC Mini-Cricket. Most of the kids are interested in playing soccer, but Ishmael is slowly growing support for the game of cricket. “I got involved with KFC MiniCricket after watching some kids playing the game in our community. They were doing everything wrong, so I decided if they wanted to play, they should at least know the rules of the game and be able to play it properly,” said Molete on how he be-
came a KFC Mini-Cricket coach. In becoming a KFC Mini-Cricket coach, he has brought structure to the sport at the school. His role as a coach is now to be intensified as he prepares his team to take on the Proteas. Before the preparations began, the cricketers went on a parade of the school to let everyone know that they are to take on the Proteas, ensuring that they rally up as much home ground support as they can. Lerato Maditle, Free State KFC Mini-Cricket coordinator, has provided some extra support in bringing in a local professional, Clement Rachere, to train the kids ahead of their crucial match-up against the Proteas. Like all coaches getting ready for a big game, Ishmael has had to focus on what team selections he is going to make. His team will consist of four boys and four girls, with two star players in particular carrying Mokitlane Primary’s hopes of beating the Proteas; Vuyo Kankalane and Unathi Khumalo. Vuyo is a hard worker who is always at practice early, offering the team strength in both the batting and bowling department. Similarly, Unathi also possesses all-round talent with both bat and ball, with her impressive academic background coming to the fore in match strategy and tactics. The challenge is set and Ryan McLaren, David Miller, Quinton de Kock, Mignon Du Preez, Marcia Letsoalo, Dane van Niekerk and Marizanne Kapp have to bring their Agames as the KFC Mini-Cricket kids are ready for them, and ready to get active in a match that will be an experience of a lifetime.

Well done, Louis Botha
} Rufus Botha
HTS LOUIS BOTHA has made the Free State proud by carrying the province’s flag sky high in the the Sanlam Kay Motsepe Cup Tournament. Not only did the Bloemfontein school compete in the popular u.19 soccer tournament, but they surprised friend and foe by going all the way to reach the final at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Umlazi, Durban. Although they went down 1-2 to a determined Clapham High School of Pretoria in the final, the school received a whopping R600 000 as runner-up, plus a further R100 000 for being the provincial champions. Before Louis Botha could take on the best school teams in national finals in Durban, they first had to see off the best the Free State had on offer for this competition and they did that in style. They beat Dr. Cingo High 4-0, and then thrashed Lereng High 6-0 – before they played the Northern Free State stronghold, Harmony. No love was lost in the last mentioned match and by end of the match the scoreboard was untouched. A penalty shootout was on the cards and Louis Botha won by 3-1 and off to the national finals in Durban it was. During the first day of the national finals, Louis Botha played two matches. They defeated Okiep High 2-0 before being held 0-0 by sturborn Benny’s High. The second day saw the Louis Botha stronghold going into overdrive, beating East High 3-0 and before sending Ndamase High to the canvass with a 6-0 clout. Day three was a tough one. The Bloemfontein team heard the final whistle against Mondale High with the scoreboard still standing at 0-all. In a thrilling penalty shootout the Louis Botha gentlemen kept their cool and eventually won by 3-0 for a place in the semi-final, which they won 1-0 against Rosina Sedibane Sports School to qualify for the final. Norman Ngomba, team manager, said the standard of football at the national finals was exceptional. “The regional and provincial level was what
we are accustomed to, but what we saw at the national finals was completely different, it took us by surprise. “Our toughest game was the final against Clapham. They were so tactical and organised. They played with a cool head and even when we shut down their star, Percy Tau, they did not seem to flinch,” he said. Ngomba said they went into the tournament with the view of using it as a learning curve for next year. “Our strategy was not to put pressure on the boys. And our result was way beyond what we expected. It sure was a learning curve and we learnt something different from every school. For example, Rosina was a team that was united, they played simple football which worked for them, they play excellent one touch football. Modale High played a different style of play, they were more tactical, which is how I want us to be; and Clapham had everything, tactical and technical ability and experience. Their players belong to the Mamelodi Sundowns Academy and I believe they get a chance to play against the first team once a month, such experience is what we were competing against,” Ngomba explained. Ngomba further said that playing in front of Mamelodi Sundowns president, Patrice Motsepe, was something they will never forget. “All the players admire him, and the work that he is doing, not just for football but also in the arts and culture as well as in business,” he said. The down-to-earth man was also full of praise for Sanlam, the tournament sponsors. “I hope they continue to sponsor the tournament as they have added so much to it since they came on board in 2010. It has grown into a much sought after tournament. I now have insight into insurance and am definitely getting life insurance in the near future. I want to make sure that if something happens to me, my family is well looked after.” Ngoma has vowed to be back again next year, and he said they were already preparing the team. Meanwhile, Harmony High School of Virginia ended in the fourth place and they received R400 000 for their efforts.
