Department scraps cars } Sidwell Guduka
ABOUT 200 impounded vehicles in the Free State were compacted and converted into scrap metal. This happened after motorists, whose cars were impounded and held by the police, had failed to pay the required fees to have them released. The province’s Department of Police, Roads and Transport published a notice in the Goverment Gazette on 28 March last year and advertised the same notice on different media channels, pleading with owners to recover their vehicles within 30 days from the date of publication of the notice. However, the department’s plea fell on deaf ears as only a handful of them heeded the call. “All the scrapped cars were those which were impounded and held by the police between 1999 and February 2013.
“Despite our call to the owners to pay the required fees and have their cars released, the majority of them failed to come forward. “We gave then ample time to do so,” Mangaliso Xaba, director: Transport, Law Enforcement and Tracing Unit, told Express. “Our initial decision was to sell those vehicles at a public auction, but we decided against it. “With the exception of only four cars which were still in a good condition, the value of the rest of the other cars had deteriorated. Honestly, the value of those cars would not add up to what the owners owed, that’s why we decided to rather crush them instead of selling them,” he said. “Before scrapping those cars, we followed all the procedures required by law to notify the owners to come and fetch their cars upon payment of required fees. “We also made announcements to
the motorists through the local and national press and radio stations,” he added. Xaba said his department charged an impounded fee of R2 000 per vehicle and that it levied a R40 storage fee for each day a vehicle remained in its custody. “I think the amount to have the cars released became too much for the owners, hence they failed to pay up,” the director explained. “In future we’ll no longer keep impounded cars for a longer period in our custody. It is costly to the government, because we are forced to hire security to guard them,” Xaba concluded. The scrapping of impounded cars began in Bloemfontein where 52 cars were destroyed last Wednesday. More vehicles were compacted in Qwaqwa (40), Welkom (35), Sasolburg (30) and Kroonstad (13). ) For more photos and to watch a video, visit www.express-news.co.za.

Debt will kill your joy
BUDGETING and planning is the cornerstone of an achiever. You have to plan and have a long-term view of what you want to achieve and by when. It is wise to consult a financial advisor or planner. Buying on impulse will make you short on cash for other things. Buying on credit is very expensive. These days the law makes it compulsory for the credit-giver to inform you how much you will pay in total for something. They have to tell you what the cost of credit is going to be. Just as the rich rule the poor, so the borrower is the servant of the lender. – Proverbs 22:7 We do not have the freedom or discretion to decide where and how to spend our money because we have legal obligations to meet debts. – Dayton 2007:37. If you buy on credit, you do not have sufficient money to save for that rainy day. Mid-month the electricity is finished. Before the end of the month the groceries are finished. Things like toothpaste and deodorant most of the times go first. Money for transport, fuel for the car and other things that you can budget for must last you the whole month. If you take credit you start the month with a negative and you will always fall short during the month unless you get a bonus or some extra money to pay the deficit. So try by all means to budget and to stick to your budget. A loan is not a solution. Most people have garnishee orders against their salaries. These debts do not get extinguished. They grow as there are attorney and administration fees added. When you pay the money towards a garnishee, you first pay the legal costs and the remainder only goes towards the

debt. Immediately you have a debt that you try to pay off as soon as possible. Paying in time or before the agreed time means that you will pay less interest. A young man I know won a new car in a competition. He then decided to sell the car. He received more than R100 000 for that car but he blew it within three months. Another not so young guy I know sold his house and received a profit of some tens of thousands of rands. It is alleged that he used to fan himself with the notes and had a woman sitting on each leg. Women like those stupid ones. You receive pension money after resigning from work. What do you do? You do everything else except investing it for retirement. I have noticed that when people go on retirement, they start building or
renovating houses, buying cars and using money unintelligently. Try that by the time you go on retirement that your debts are paid off and you do not have major things to spend money on. The only way to get out of debt is to be content with what you have. Don’t compare yourself to the Joneses. Don’t compare yourself to anybody. I visited my friend and stayed at her new home recently. I always say there will always be somebody more beautiful, richer and more intelligent than you. So be content with what you have. Envy is defined by wanting the things you do not possess and hating the things you do possess. It guarantees that we will not get what we want and keeps us perpetually insatiable and dissatisfied. Further, envy is a self-perpetuating cycle. Envious people feel empty and unfulfilled. They look at another’s sense of fullness and feel envious. Each one of us should test our own actions. Then we can take pride in ourselves without comparing ourselves to somebody else. ) Anyone who would like to contribute to this column can send their piece of no more than 500 words to Jabulani.Dlamini@volksblad.com or call 051-404-7910.

Metro celebrates injury-free initiation } Qondile Khedama THE executive mayor of Mangaung, Thabo Manyoni, has welcomed with satisfaction the manner in which the 2014 winter initiation schools were handled in Mangaung, where no fatalities or injuries were reported. “The city is happy to realise that its interventions on botched circumcisions are beginning to bear fruit,” he said. Mangaung, through its Social Development Unit, held the Botshabelo graduation ceremony for the winter on Saturday, 2 August, where parents and members of the community welcomed the initiates back home. The initiation school period began in the last week of June and ended on 1 August, where 56 men and 10 women went through the initiation process in Bloemfontein and Botshabelo. Altogether 30 schools had registered to operate during this season in the two towns. The city, in its efforts to ensure that parties that were interested in hosting initiation schools during the winter school holidays did so legally, advertised extensively to let the public know of the application process. The initiation school application process was to ensure that all schools which took place were lawfully registered and therefore complied with the city’s by-laws, amongst other matters. The MMC for Social Development, who also chairs the District Initiation Schools Committee, Maditaba Matsoetlane, applauded
SOME of the initiates during the welcomeback ceremony held in Botshabelo. A total of 66 men and 10 women completed this important rite of passage in Bloemfontein and Botshabelo. Photo: Supplied the cooperation she had been receiving from other role players, and the work they had done in their respective responsibilities such as work done by the district surgeon and the responsiveness of the police. Matsoetlane said: “I am pleased with the reaction of the leaders of initiation schools for giving me an
opportunity to lead and advise this process despite the fact that I am a woman. It has been a complex journey, but we are winning the battle.” These positive results are outcomes of the executive mayor’s programme which urged for a partnership with all relevant parties including boRamophato,
traditional leaders, the Department of Health and the police. Manyoni held the first initiation schools dialogue in November 2012, where emphasis was placed on the necessity for interventions in order to curb deaths and further injuries. This came after Mangaung was placed under national scrutiny
following the deaths of four initiates at a school in Botshabelo, where the initiators were practising illegally. At the dialogue, Manyoni emphasised that government’s intervention must “not be interpreted as an encroachment or prejudice against the African indigenous cultural and spiritual practices. This is about putting an end to all forms of malpractices, crime and violations committed on the initiates. It is a life-saving endeavour indeed.” The dialogue was followed by an Initiation School Lekgotla in October 2013, the focus of which was deliberations with these departments regarding the roles in cases where there were non-adherence from the initiators ie. boRamophato. All the stakeholders have since been monitoring the practices at the initiation schools operating at any given time and have noted that the initiators adhered to the Free State Initiation School Health Act and its regulations. Manyoni said: “As the city we have respect for African rituals including the practice of initiation. I have taken it upon myself to ensure that this practice is carried out in a decent manner by involving all relevant stakeholders who will ensure the smooth running of initiation schools. This breakthrough does not belong to the city, but to the practitioners and the community of Mangaung at large.” ) Khedama is general manager of communications at the Mangaung Metro.

Boycott last resort for students } Teboho Setena THE boycott of classes by nursing students at the Free State School of Nursing’s Northern (FSSON) Campus at the Bongani Regional Hospital in Welkom has ground to a halt but could start again. On Monday student leaders agreed to temporarily end the two-week protest but it was unclear if students would return to class because of conflicting views regarding the protest. Express Goldfields & Northern Free State learnt that a section of the students apparently wanted to return to class while another section would not budge until the authority committed to resolving their demands. At the time of going to print the paper had also learnt that lecturers were in a predicament because they were awaiting outstanding payment. Dr Tefo Mabina, the acting chief executive officer at the Bongani Hospital, said a memorandum of understanding between the student leaders had been signed on Monday to end the two-week boycott. He expressed the hope that the situation would return to normal after the students and the authority signed the agreement to end the boycott of classes. Scores of first-, second- and third-year students began the boycott over a range of issues including their unpaid monthly grant. About 70 disgruntled students began boycotting classes two weeks ago, on 1 August. They chanted and sang freedom
A RIOT: Scores of student nurses at the Free State School of Nursing’s Northern Campus at the Bongani Regional Hospital in Welkom are in their second week of boycotting classes. Photo: Teboho Setena songs in front of the institution’s entrance within the premises of the Bongani Hospital. Their grievances included the unpaid monthly grant of R2 000. Students demanded they be
vaccinated, be paid a uniform allowance and that the institute be provided with equipment like photocopiers and learning manuals. Gift Mnyamane, spokesperson
and chairperson of the Student Representative Council (SRC), said their protest had been prompted by the Department of Health’s delay to pay students their monthly grant and its failure to
respond to their grievances. He added that boycotting classes was their last resort to have their grievances heard. “We agreed that they respond by Wednesday (today). Should they fail, we’ll consider other avenues to get answers from the Department of Health,” said Mnyamane. “With the exception of the vaccination of students, not all our demands have been met and for this reason we have given the department until today,” said Mnyamane. He said the meetings that had been held to resolve issues had been fruitless. “It left us with no choice other than to protest. Students can no longer tolerate the department’s delay in paying their accumulated monthly grant. Students who have enrolled in a two-year programme have been waiting since February for their grants. We have in meetings repeatedly been promised that payment would be made next week and the next week. But nothing has been forthcoming. “Students in this programme have been relying on others for their survival. Enough is enough and we decided to protest,” said Mnyamane. He said students had been finding the going tough without study material. “We need the necessary equipment in order to progress. It is not that we want to protest but the failure by the authorities has pushed us to do this.” The two-week boycott has left students with a huge backlog in their study programmes.
Rape suspects sought THE police in and around the Goldfields region are searching for these four men shown in the identikit below regarding the gang rape and kidnapping of a 16-year-old teenager on 26 October 2013.

Change today and don’t delay } Pastor Mutombo Kwimimba MANY people today are delayed in life; they know with their mind that something is wrong in their lives, but this delaying spirit convinces them that nothing can be done to free them. The spirit of delay agrees with your future but will do the best to delay you from achieving that future. In Exodus we read of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, being a representation of the evil spirit of delay in the lives of the Israelites. He knew that God called the Israelites to go and possess the promised land of Canaan, he knew it was time for their freedom, but he was never prepared to let them go; he chose to delay them in every possible way. He was prepared to challenge God’s decision by suppressing the Israelites. He delayed them many times but God did not give up on this nation. And so many people today are faced with such an oppressing spirit of delay that it seems to take complete control over their lives. No man can help and no amount of money can solve the issues. Many are delayed financially (meaning debt everywhere; challenges start in the house only when there is money; as soon as money is finished, peace comes in). Many are delayed physically (meaning sickness all the time as well as disability). Some are delayed in marriage (meaning misunderstanding is the order of the day, barrenness). Others are delayed in their career (they occupied the same position for many years; their workloads increase all the
time but the salary remains the same while bills are piling up with the threat of being blacklisted ever present). Families are delayed (misunderstanding, jealousy, criticism and division). God wants to help his people, but there must be a willingness and availability. Jesus is the only compassionate deliverer the world has ever known. We should know it is not all up to Jesus, and it certainly is not all up to us. Jesus’ duty is to deliver us while our duty is to believe in his ability and to avail ourselves. I pray as you read this faith-building article that every chain of delay in you has been broken in the name of Jesus. ) To hear more and learn more about these faith-building messages, we welcome you to the New Horizon Ministry at the Joe Solomon School in Heidedal every Sunday from 09:00. You can also SMS us your prayer requests to 071-214-9404. Jesus is still committed to his promise of healing us and delivering us, and we are witnessing it by his spirit in our midst. Be blessed and we look forward to worshipping with you in Jesus’ mighty name.

Cheetahs look to hit ground running } Sidwell Guduka THE Toyota Free State Cheetahs will have an opportunity to redeem themselves when they battle the Griquas in Bloemfontein on Saturday. Rory Duncan’s charges started their Absa Currie Cup Premier Division campaign with a 21-28 (Cheetahs led by 16-15 at halftime) loss against the Steval Pumas in the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit last Saturday,
and they will look to cash in against a Griquas side coming off a 24-31 loss against the Sharks on the same day. A bonus point victory would be an ideal way for the Cheetahs to return to their winning ways ahead of their next tough encounter against the Sharks in Durban next Saturday at 19:10. The Cheetahs team to face the Griquas will be announced at the press conference which will
be held today (13 August) in Bloemfontein at 12:00. In other Absa Currie Cup fixtures, the Sharks will take on the Pumas on Friday in Kings Park Stadium (19:10). The Western Province will welcome the Blue Bulls to the Newlands Stadium on Saturday at 14:00. The Golden Lions will entertain the Eastern Province Kings on Saturday in Johannesburg at 14:30.
Win two tickets to match THE Toyota Free State Cheetahs, in conjunction with Express, are giving away ten sets of double tickets to lucky fans to go and watch their match against the Griquas in the Free State Stadium on Saturday at 15:00. To enter the competition, visit www.express-news.co.za.

BLOEMFONTEIN CELTIC, in collaboration with Express, are giving away ten sets of double tickets to lucky fans to attend their Absa Premiership match against Orlando Pirates in the Free State Stadium at 19:30. To enter the competition, visit www.expressnews.co.za. Winners will be contacted telephonically.
Pirates now face tough Celtic unit } Sidwell Guduka IN-FORM Bloemfontein Celtic have vowed to add to Orlando Pirates’ woes when they battle it out in what promises to be an explosive Absa Premiership match in the Free State Stadium tonight. Kick-off is at 19:30. The Sea Robbers go into this potentially explosive encounter on the back of a 2-1 loss against Moroka Swallows last Saturday, while Phunya Sele Sele were held to a 1-1 draw by Mpumalanga Black Aces in Bloemfontein on Sunday. Celtic captain Joel Mogorosi said they won’t underestimate Pirates despite beating them twice in the league last season.

‘We have been training hard and are looking forward to getting our first victory of the season. Pirates must forget about even getting a point.’ – Joel Mogorosi “We are geared up for a tough match. Pirates have a great side and we’ll give them the respect they deserve. “We are not going to read too much on their loss against Swallows,” said Mogorosi, who made history by scoring the first goal for Celtic in open play since the Tshabalalas became the new
owners of the club. “We have been training hard and are looking forward to getting our first victory of the season. Pirates must forget about even getting a point. We must register a morale-boosting win ahead of our next match against (Kaizer) Chiefs away,” the skipper said. Mogorosi and his defence will have to be at their best to avoid being embarrassed by Kermit Erasmus, Thandani Ntshumayelo and Thabo Matlaba who can score from long-range strikes. Celtic, owned by Lloyd Pakiso Tshabalala – Max Tshabalala’s brother – will rely on Gabadinho Mhango, Vuyani Ntanga and Mogorosi for goals. Next Wednesday, Celtic travel to the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg to face Chiefs in what is expected to be a humdinger of a match at 19:30. ) For more sport stories, visit www.express-news.co.za.
