Foreigners under attack

} Sidwell Guduka
ATTACKS on foreign-owned shops in Botshabelo have forced some owners to flee the township. Hot-headed residents of Botshabelo went beserk last week and started to vandalise and loot almost all the shops owned by foreigners in their area. Some owners managed to pack the contents of their spaza shops into vehicles and moved out of the troubled area between Tuesday and Friday. Bangladesh-born Zaman Ali was one of many businessmen whose shop in T Section was attacked and left empty. He said saving his life was more important than his stock. “The incident took place on Thursday at about 19:30. My brother and I were helping our customers in the shop when a group of about 50 people just emerged from nowhere. They broke the door and attacked us, but we managed to flee,” Ali told Express. “Running for safety was the only option for us. “There is only one life and it needs immediate saving. I thought those people were going to kill us because they were heavily armed with hammers, spades, pitchforks and knobkieries. I thank my lucky stars both of us survived the attack unharmed,” he said. “I don’t know why these people attacked us, but there is a rumour that they are unhappy with the local municipality. What we are hearing is that residents are upset because they were snubbed for jobs on the N8 Road where construction is currently underway. It’s strange because we don’t have any connections with the municipality,” he added. Ali said he had been shaking with

shock when the looters had broken the burglar bars and windows to force their way into his shop. “It was like a Hollywood movie. That was the scariest moment in my life.” Ali, who recently obtained South African citizenship because he married a local woman, said he had lost stock worth an estimated R80 000, including his personal belongings. “I lost everything in the shop. The attackers also took my money. I have to pay my creditors, but I am penniless. I don’t even have money to buy food for my family,” he sobbed. “These people are cruel. They also stole all my clothes and shoes. I’m
only left with the clothes I’m wearing.” Ali’s confidence in law enforcement officers has all but evaporated. “I phoned the police to come and protect me and my brother when we heard some shops were being looted, that was about half an hour before mine was also attacked. But they never pitched up.” Captain Tseko Mokgehle said most of the attacks had taken place in sections A, B, C, L, M and T. “We have arrested more than 80 people in connection with the looting. “They will appear in the Botshabelo Magistrate’s Court this week.” ) For more stories and photos, visit www.express-news.co.za.

Naledi’s star to shine brightly in America } Jabulani Dlamini NALEDI MOKGELE’S star is on the rise and she is on her way to America. Born in Rocklands 22 years ago, the beauty with brains matriculated at the Louis Botha High School, before pursuing her studies at the Central University of Technology (CUT) and moving to Pretoria last year.
NALEDI MOKGELE
Mokgele was scouted through the annual International Talent Showcase by the international talent scout Kim Myers (director of Arts) to represent South Africa at this year’s Arts convention in the disciplines of acting and modelling. She departed for Florida on Sunday. She lives by her motto: Perseverance pays and giving up on your dreams is not an option. With no experience in either modelling or acting, she was nurtured by Just Your Artist and Model Management, which hosts a series of talent scout sessions around South Africa. As an aspiring model, her wish is to work with volunteers and the municipality on community projects to initiate dance, modelling, singing and acting projects at community centres where children of all ages can unwind and showcase their talents, and have fun at the same time. “But the bigger picture will be to give them a chance of entering competitions like the one I had – to be heard and scouted. “This will also reduce the problems the youth is facing, including drugs, teenage pregnancies, dropping out of school, to name but a few. We don’t have much to entertain us as youth,” she said.

SOME of the families who received shacks from the MalutiaPhofung Municipality at Phuthaditjhaba Exten sion 10 after they were evicted from the Bokamoso informal settlement which was near the University of the Free State’s Qwaqwa Campus.
Tough times continue
} Tladi Moloi
QWAQWA. – An uncertain future looms for some of the families moved from the Bokamoso informal settlement just outside Qwaqwa over two weeks ago. A lack of sufficient alternative accommodation for all the families moved from the settlement, donations of allegedly expired food and an increase in the number of residents seem to have sealed a miserable winter for the families. On Friday, when Express Eastern Free State visited Extension 10, there were only 28 of the 40 shacks promised by the Maluti-a-Phofung (MAP) Municipality on the site to where the families were to be relocated. An estimated 50 families remain at the Makwane Youth Centre, where the group was temporarily sheltered after being evicted from the settlement opposite the Qwaqwa Campus of the University of the Free State. The Extension 10 sites were allegedly on sale for R10 000 each
from the MAP Municipality. Charles Taetsane, MAP municipal manager, confirmed that they would also build shacks for the evictees. The biggest problem for the municipality now was they did not have any more sites at Extension 10, Taetsane said. Express EFS learnt that the officials for the municipality were planning to allocate the sites to those who are still at the centre, but those sites are not serviced. Taetsane said when the case had started there had been only 100 sites at Bokamoso, but that number stood at 400 by the time the eviction had been done. “Some people were not living there. We know that some of them were in need of the sites and we have identified those people and they will be allocated sites at Bluegumbosch. We already have mounted 40 shacks there and we are hoping to build more,” he said. He said they were aware that some of the people who had sites at Bokamoso were prominent

businesspeople who wanted to build rooms to let to university students. “We urge those people to stay back. They should not take advantage of the circumstances to the detriment of those who are really in need. We would like to apologise where we did wrong. We will take good care of you and respect your rights,” he concluded. Sisi Ntombela, Free State Social Development MEC, visited the evicted people who were still housed at the fire station last Saturday. Ntombela voiced her displeasure with the living conditions at the station and instructed municipal officials to find an alternative for them. “I was not impressed by what I saw. We took them to the other venue which is better. They will get food daily. They will be here for a week or two while we are working on their sites,” she said. Ntombela urged people to stop allocating sites illegally because it impacted negatively on them.

Airco fights for SA music rights } Tshenolo Meruti
MBULELO “SWEETY” DAVIS, the new chairperson of the Association of Independent Record Companies (Airco) in the Free State, says: “We represent independent record companies within the Free State. We are looking for anybody or any artist that has a record label to join the organisation because we advocate their interest in the music business. “In South Africa, the music industry was started by American companies like Sony and BMG. These companies have taken South Africans’ intellectual property and compositions and took them to America. This empowers the American economy instead of empowering South Africa’s economy. “Nkosi Sikelel iAfrica is an example of this as it is South Africa’s national anthem and was written by a South African but the national anthem is owned by someone from France. It is for reasons like this Airco was formed,” said Davis. They encourage musicians who run record labels to seek membership with them and be independent. Airco helps to get artists’ music videos and songs played on SABC. Airco is a national organisation with structures in all nine provinces. Ayanda Roda used to be the chairperson in the Free State from 2007 to 2013 and is now a board member
nationally. The new chairperson, Mbulelo Davis, will now be the man in charge who will be looking after the interest of record labels in the Free State. Airco makes their income through music video royalties and dispatches it to the rightful owners. They also fall under the Department of Arts and Culture and nationally have been receiving a grant for more than five years now. Davis also says they are excited about the new MEC for Sport, Arts and Culture, Mathabo Leeto, whom they describe as “Mama Action”. “We are very excited to be working with her and applaud the department for their efforts in using local artists at a gospel festival that took place on 15 June at the Bloemfontein Civic Theatre. “The venue was packed and tickets were sold out. This is proof that people in the province appreciate local artists,” said Davis. ) For more information visit www.airco.org.za or call 073-239-0550. ) See a video interview with Davis at www.express-news.co.za.

‘Coloureds’ do have a culture IN the previous dispensation I was classified as a “coloured” in the population register. This classification is absurd as some of my cousins look more “coloured” than I do and yet they were classified as black on the basis of their surname. The one thing that irritated me most when I was growing up was the notion that “coloured” people had no culture. Our family practised a number of traditional rituals. This was due to our strong connection to our Tswana heritage. My grandmothers outlived their husbands and consequently they were the ones who practised the rituals. No explanations were ever given as to why certain things were done. Consequently some rituals have fallen in disuse as my generation does not understand their significance. One of the traditional rituals that have been discarded by my generation is related to death and burials. In the event of death all close family members had all their hair or pieces of their hair shaved off early in the morning before sunrise on the day after the funeral. In addition to this we had to stand in a bath of cold water in which was poured a green substance – I think it was the contents of the specially slaughtered sheep’s gall bladder mixed with aloe and some herbs – and covered with it from head to toe. We were not allowed to wash it off until at least after sunset on that day or the following morning.
My view
Kgosi Hendricks Reverend
A black button was then fastened to the left sleeve of our shirts and women wore black berets or a “doek”, and we were supposed to wear these until the cleansing ceremony was conducted. This cleansing ceremony would normally take place after a period of at least six months had expired. The cleansing ceremony involved being sprinkled with water and the black button and other articles being burned. Our family on both sides has long stopped observing these rituals, most likely because there was no one tasked with the responsibility of passing them on and explaining them to the new generations. Another traditional ritual that used to be observed when I was younger was called Mpho ya Badimo or roughly translated to mean “Gift of the ancestors”. Livestock or sheep were normally slaughtered the day before and early the next morning the meat was cooked and eaten with samp or home-made pot bread. The adults would also drink traditional home-brewed beer. A portion of the beer is first poured onto the
ground by each person before drinking it. I think the purpose of this ritual was to thank and appease the ancestors. I have a recollection of snuff being inhaled to induce sneezing, but this memory is very hazy. During a funeral the coffin is brought to the house on the day before the funeral service. The funeral is normally held on a Saturday and is preceded by evening services during the week. When the coffin arrives, it is met at the gate by some of the elders who talk to the deceased person informing him or her that they are now entering their home where they will spend their last night. Another traditional ritual is that of slaughtering a sheep when an important occasion such as a birth, wedding or graduation is celebrated. At this occasion the person who is being honoured in this way first touches the animal before it is slaughtered in his or her presence. The slaughtering is preceded by a Scripture reading followed by a period of time when we recall the names of our deceased loved ones and concluded with a prayer of thanksgiving. The most important part of this ritual is the blood that is drained into a hole in the ground, which reminds us that we are connected with our ancestors, the “living dead”, through the blood that flowed from the animal into the ground. When a birth is celebrated then the occasion is also used to give the new-born
baby his or her family name. Unlike other cultures where the babies are given the names of their ancestors, in our family traditional names are meant to be prophetic and a blessing. At weddings the bride or groom is welcomed into the family and introduced to the ancestors. The blessings of the ancestors are sought for the future ventures of the person who graduated. I believe that the main reason why these rituals are still being observed in our family is due to the fact they can be reconciled with our Christian faith. There is an understanding that belief in the life hereafter did not come with the Christian missionaries who introduced Christianity to Africa, but that our people have always believed in a Higher Power and that those who died merely entered a different realm. The ancestors are not worshipped. We honour their memory. I believe that traditional rituals are important because they remind a person of his or her heritage. There is a saying that goes “in order to know where you are going, you need to know where you come from”. Young people especially should be taught the importance of traditional rituals to enable them to take pride in their heritage and to be encouraged to continue practising them. ) Reverend Hendricks is with the Anglican church’s Mashishing Parish.

Play me offers riveting drama BUILDING on the popularity of The pen, writer Monde Mayephu, director Mpho Molepo and assistant director Mmabatho Mogomotsi have again joined forces to create a brilliant new work titled Play me. Play me is a story of what can go wrong in a relationship if the cracks are left to exist without repair. The cracks open wider and, like an open wound, begin to fester and ultimately rot. This story of power and love explores those seven deadly sins through the life of an unstable couple who invites “strangers” into their
life to level the playground. This metaphor is beautifully captured on stage by four well-seasoned actors: Fana Mokoena as Joe, Sello Sebotsane as Jack, Zandile Msutwana as Pretty and Lerato Mvelase as Julia. Play me promises to be a riveting drama, full of wit, sex and intrigue, all going to the heart of present-day South Africa’s struggle for equality and opportunity for all. ) Play me will be staged at the OFM Albert Wessels Auditorium on 18 and 19 July at 18:00 and 14:00, respectively.

Live for the future not the past God wants us to possess our future by forgetting the pain of the past. } Pastor Moise Mutombo Kumwimba SOME people feel their past is more real than their future, simply because the future remains a mystery, hidden from the naked eye. All they know is their past . . . failures, pain, rejection, limitations in progress, premature deaths, et cetera. Those who allow the scars of the past to influence their way of thinking in a negative way, will automatically make their future unreachable. God wants us to possess our future by forgetting the pain of the past. Exodus 14:11: On many occasions, the Israelites failed God, simply because of their inability to see the future God had predestined for them. They chose to hold on to their past because that was all they knew, rather than the promised future. In this verse we see how the nation of Israel were complaining to Moses by emphasising their misery under the oppression of the Pharaoh. They chose rather to be oppressed than to pursue God’s predestined future for them. Dear readers, do not be stuck in your past . . . When you meet someone who was rich in the past, but lost everything, instead of rising up to pursue the future he would rather keep on praising his past. Well, that past is gone. Some who had faced poverty would only talk about that misery, that poverty of
yesterday. It’s time to face the future, because if you are alive today, it’s an indication that God has great plans for you. Do not allow the past to have a hold on your life. It’s Satan’s trap to keep people focused on their past, because he knows that it’s impossible to embrace your future if you are stuck in the past. We need the Mighty Hand of God to deliver us from all our past, good or bad, so that our future may be accessible. You wrote your matric many years ago, but often you may dream of sitting in a classroom writing that matric exam. This means you are simply stuck in your past and in need of God’s grace to deliver you from it. Let us avail ourselves to embrace the future. Do not fear the future because your past won’t repeat itself in your future if Jesus takes His rightful place in your heart and life. Your future is waiting for you, see how great it is, shining like a star, believe in God who created it for you. If you feel you are being haunted by your past, then you need to be delivered so that you can embrace the future. ) To hear more of these messages, for healing or deliverance, visit the New Horizon Ministry at the Joe Solomon Primary School in Heidedal, Bloemfontein, every Sunday from 09:30.You can also SMS your prayer request to 071-214-9404.

Donations keep the needy warm } Sidwell Guduka INTERSTATE BUS LINES (IBL), in collaboration with Nedbank, donated 210 blankets and food parcels to needy Mangaung-based organisations at a ceremony held at the Emang Primary School in Zone 2, Thaba Nchu, last Friday. The recipients of the blankets and grocery hampers were the Khula Foundation (Thaba Nchu), Sunflower House (Bloemfontein), Kagisanong Partners in Poverty (Bloemfontein), Bokamoso Orphanage (Botshabelo), South African Council for the Blind (Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu), as well as orphans of the Kamohelo Primary School in Bloemfontein.

We started a winter relief project ten years ago whereby we donate blankets to those in need every other year. Today’s event is part of that project,” Mokhothu told Express. “Our motto is Together we progress. So, we are indeed happy about the partnership we have with Nedbank. I’m positive that through this partnership we will make a difference in the community.

16 June does serve a purpose DR MBULELO DIBA, in response to the My View column published last week: HF VERWOERD, the architect of the Bantu Education Act (1953), once said: “There is no place for the African in the European community above the level of certain forms of labour. It is of no avail for him to receive training which has as its aim absorption in the European community.” The 16 June 1976 Soweto uprising must be understood in the context of evolution of the education system in South Africa, especially for black South Africans of African origin. In 1953 about 90% of black South African schools were state-aided mission schools. The Bantu Education Act forced all such schools to register with the state and this resulted in the removal of control of these schools from churches. Education of the then called Bantu people was controlled centrally in the Department of Bantu Education. The objective of this department, though not written in black and white, was to keep Bantu education separate and, most importantly to the oppressors, inferior. We must appreciate the Roman Catholic Church that continuously attempted to keep its schools running without state funding. Other acts were put in place to
further segregate education in South Africa along racial lines, for example the Coloured Persons Education Act of 1963 and the Indian Education Act (1965). What is painful to some of us was the fact that the education level of the then called Bantu (South African blacks of African origin) was at the bottom of the bottomless pit. This can be appropriated to training a slave to speak Afrikaans and English while serving tea to the master. The funding model of the state-funded schools was reviewed under the 1953 Bantu Education Act. The aid was linked directly to tax paid by Bantu people. One can only wonder how much tax could have been collected from the Bantu people during that period as there were few Bantus who had a decent job. The fact remains, more tax was collected from whites than blacks even though blacks constituted more than 50% of the population. The deputy minister of Bantu Education, Punt Janson, proudly said: “I have not consulted the African people on the language issue and I am not going to. An African might find that the Big Boss spoke only Afrikaans or spoke only English. It would be to his advantage to know both languages.” The introduction of Afrikaans as a medium of instruction in Mathematics, Social Sciences and Geography further bears testimony that Bantu people were provided with education that can only provide necessary assistance to the oppressor. It was not of interest to the government for the Bantu people to develop. The oppressor was not obliged to learn any native language because natives were inferior and so was their language. Today most of us are ashamed when a black person can’t speak fluent English, but we
express admiration to whites that speak broken African languages. With that in mind we all must have an understanding what the 16 June uprising was all about. It was about our development, our emancipation, our liberty, our freedom and future. The Soweto uprising was about human dignity, equality, freedom of association, integrity and the spirit of ubuntu. The youth of today has an educational opportunity that the 1970s youth could only fantasise about. The youth of today has an opportunity to study in any university not only in South Africa, but the whole world. The youth of today are provided with an education system that gives fair opportunity to all, irrespective of the colour of their skin, religious grouping, gender, political ideology and social class. Today a child of a domestic worker has an equal opportunity to be a doctor like a child of his or her mother’s employer. We have youth in different sectors of our economy. We have accountants, lawyers, doctors, entrepreneurs, teachers, nurses, police, engineers; the list is endless. We have a lot to celebrate, we have many reasons to observe the day and most importantly, we have a mandate from the youth of the Soweto uprising to consolidate and strive for free, accessible education for all our people. The 1976 Soweto uprising rejected firmly an education system that was preparing blacks to be house workers that speak excellent English, but can only serve tea. Fellow South Africans, the debate around 16 June can only be about how do we better the lives of the youth in South Africa. Let’s do more on 16 June.
Youth needs upliftment N. NHLABATHI, Concerned Young People of South Africa (CYPSA) chairperson: THE Concerned Young People of South Africa (CYPSA) have noticed that people are starving due to lack of food and income in certain areas. We realise that food will become scarcer in the future that’s why we came up with ideas on how to promote food security within our borders. We want to commend the new efforts from the government to deal with human trafficking by regulating the flow of immigrants into our country with tighter measures. We would like to appeal to our leaders to consider the foreigners who are bringing help to our land. It is our dream as young people to develop and further ourselves,but we need the skills and expertise of those who are able to pass their valuable knowledge on, even if they come from abroad. We don’t need foreigners that commit crime, sell drugs, commit acts of terrorism or are involved in human trafficking and who make South Africa their home and drug-den. When we visit schools and help the youth with drug addiction problems, we notice the escalating levels of drug abuse and violence. We conduct surveys at some of the schools and find that most of the learners are addicted to dagga or tik. Please uphold the legislation against dagga, because many of
our fellow learners drop out of school and university due to dagga. In addition, research has proven that dagga, second only to alcohol, is causing the highest levels of fatalities on our roads. As the youth of South Africa we appeal that you act on this information, because it can make a difference in society.
Tlakula matter still pending STONE SIZANI, ANC parliamentary chief whip: THE Office of the ANC chief whip has noted the judgement and the recommendation to Parliament by the Electoral Court in a matter relating to the fitness to hold office of the chairperson of the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), Advocate Pansy Tlakula. The court’s recommendation for the removal of the chairperson of the IEC is in line with the Electoral Commission Act, which grants the court the powers to make such a recommendation for consideration by a committee of the National Assembly. Adv. Tlakula intends to ask the president to place her on leave while she appeals the judgement with the Constitutional Court. In the light of her intention to challenge the ruling of the Electoral Court, we hold the view that the National Assembly should await the conclusion of the legal process before it exercises its obligations in terms of the law. It would indeed be premature and legally untenable for the institution to initiate a process and take a decision on a matter that is pending in court.

The matches in Australia will be played at the main stadiums which will be helpful in preparing our players for the World Cup. “The team will also play an ODI series against Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and the West Indies before the World Cup.” Proteas fixtures: ) 2 Nov. – T20 warmup match at North Sydney Oval. ) 5 Nov. – T20 Australia vs South Africa at Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. ) 7 Nov. – T20 Australia vs South Africa, MCG, Melbourne. ) 9 Nov. – T20 Australia vs South Africa at ANZ Stadium, Sydney. ) 14 Nov. – ODI Australia vs South Africa at Waca, Perth. ) 16 Nov. – ODI Australia vs South Africa at Waca, Perth. ) 19 Nov. – ODI Australia vs South Africa at Manuka Oval, Canberra. ) 21 Nov. – ODI Australia vs South Africa at MCG, Melbourne. ) 23 Nov. – ODI Australia vs South Africa at SCG, Sydney.

Palacios questions African discipline AUGUSTO PALACIOS, Orlando Pirates technical director for Youth Football, has questioned the attitude of African players at the World Cup. The Peru-born Palacios, a former Bafana Bafana coach, says he has been impressed with the attitudes of the South American teams at the World Cup in Brazil. “In South America when you play for the national team, it is an honour for you and your family, and the players understand AUGUSTO PALACIOS that very well; it is all about protecting and playing for your name,” he told the Pirates website. “I come from that part of the world and I know what it is like when you are called to the national team. “Apart from Argentina and Brazil, the other South American countries have a very small population and are very small in size. “They do not have all the resources the other countries have, so for them, when they get an opportunity to thrive in such occasions, they go all out,” Palacios added. In contrast, the well-travelled 62-year-old has questioned the temperament of some of the African players currently taking part in
the World Cup. “I think it boils down to lack of discipline and desire to win. I mean, for a player like Alex Song to do what he did to his country is unacceptable,” he said. “That was a crucial match (against Croatia) and they had to win. I do not think Song would have assaulted a player if he was playing for Barcelona. You cannot disrespect your country, the viewers and yourself just like that. “The big difference between African players and South American players is that in South America the players know that they make their names in the national team. Look at the goalkeeper of Mexico; he is one of the most sought-after players right now because of what he did against Brazil. “He does not even have a team, but he knew he had to fight for his country and now he will reap big benefits. Players must understand that when you go to big tournaments with the national team, you are representing your country and the name of your family. You cannot mess up.” ) Visit www.express-news.co.za for live news-streaming of all the World Cup soccer action in Brazil.

Team ready for challenge } Sidwell Guduka GEORGE NECHIRONGA, Bloemfontein Celtic Colts’ manager, has welcomed the Engen Knockout draw which was conducted at Grey College in Bloemfontein last Thursday. The former Celtic hitman said his boys were more than ready to take on the best teams in the tournament when the games began on 4 July. “It is one of the most difficult groups of the competition, but I’m positive we’ll do much better than last year (third-place finish). We are looking forward to the challenge ahead and our boys are ready to compete for the championship this time around. “We are going to use almost the same team that played in the tournament last year. Only three or four players who were part of our squad won’t be available because they are older than 17. But those who will be replacing them are equally good players,” Nechironga said. The defending champions, the Harmony Sports Academy from Virginia, who had won the competition the past six years, were pooled in Group D with Calculus High,
Mangaung Unite FC and hosts Grey College. “I’m happy about the outcome of the draw. However, being pitted with Grey in the same group always gives us a headache, because they are a good team. But we are ready to compete against the best teams in the tournament. “Hopefully we’ll successfully defend our title. We still have about eight players who were part of my squad last year,” said Harmony coach, Pitso Mokoena. Ludwig Koekemoer, the tournament organiser, said they were going to introduce a new registration system this year, whereby all the players would be doing a fingerprint scan. “We are going to have a mobile unit system at the venue after the player registration has taken place. Instead of asking players for their registration cards, we are going to ask the players to make a thumb scan. “If the player is not registered we’ll pick that up. However, we’ll still have their registration cards in our possession. We want to try and move away from the old paperwork system,” Koekemoer explained. “We are happy about this new innovation. We are trying to come up with something
new every year. I hope we’ll have a great tournament. Good luck to all the teams who will be participating in the event this year,” he added. Meanwhile, Pumeza Ntisana, who represented Engen, expressed her delight at her company’s involvement in the competition. “Engen is very proud to have been involved in youth football for 11 years. This has been at the heart of our corporation as it provides young footballers with the opportunity to showcase their talent. “Many young footballers who competed in the u.17 Engen Knockout Challenge have gone on to compete at the highest level in South Africa,” Ntisana said. “All the u.17 Engen Knockout Challenge attendees can look forward to great entertainment. It remains our vision to support football as part of our community cohesion. “We look forward to this tournament each year where we can be instrumental in providing opportunities for those who love the game, but who would otherwise not traditionally be able to participate at competition level,” she concluded. All the matches will take place at Grey College’s Windmill Park. The final will be played on 6 July.
