Student’s body found Fellow students hand over memorandums regarding safety
} Tladi Moloi PHUTHADITJHABA. – The body of Sinothemba Shezi (22) was found at the river near the Phuthaditjhaba golf course on Thursday morning. His body was spotted by a community member who was passing by near the river. Shezi, who was a third-year Bachelor of Education (BEd) student at the University of the Free State Qwaqwa Campus, was allegedly kidnapped a fortnight ago by about eight men who carried knobkieries. Apparently he was walking along the R57 road to the university with his friend when the men started to chase them and got away. His friend ran faster than them, but unfortunately Shezi was caught. Prof. Prakash Naidoo, the campus principal, has expressed his deepest sympathy to Shezi’s family and friends on behalf of the university community. “On Thursday morning we received the news that the student who had gone missing, was finally found. We wish to thank all students and staff members, the entire community of Phuthaditjhaba and the South African Police Service (SAPS) for their efforts. This has not been an easy week for all of us,” Naidoo told the university website. A day or two after Shezi had been kidnapped, angry students caused havoc on the busy R57, demanding the police go out and search for their fellow student. It is reported that most of them felt that the police were not doing enough, while others wanted to be given permission to search for him. One of the students, who prefers to remain anonymous, told Express Eastern Free State that the students suspected that Shezi had been taken to an initiation school since
ANGRY: Fuming students of the University of the Free State Qwaqwa Campus during their recent march to the Phuthaditjhaba Police Station in Qwaqwa. the men who had kidnapped him were in traditional blankets and carried knobkieries. After two to three days of students fighting with the police, with rubber bullets and stones flying, the students marched to the Phuthaditjhaba Police Station on Wednesday to submit memorandums of grievances to the SAPS and the Maluti-a-Phofung Local Municipality (MAP). Among the things listed on the memorandum directed to the SAPS the students instructed the police to find Shezi within 24 hours and they gave the police two days to tell them what had happened to the cases they have been reporting
since 2010. Thulasizwe Sithole, SRC president, said they hoped they (the police and municipality) would read the memorandum and come up with positive responses. “We had a few meetings with them before the march. So we thought they would be aware that we were serious about handing a memorandum to them,” he said. “We want the police to accommodate our Zulu-speaking students, because they have encountered language problems with some of the police officers not willing to speak English. We want them to give us feedback when the cases have been opened.”
They requested MAP to activate cameras and make sure that all street lights work. “The municipality should cut off the trees on the road to the university, because the criminals are hiding there. We have street lights on that road, but some of the light are not working and we want the municipality to work on them,” he said. Sgt Mmako Mophiring, police spokesperson, requested the community to assist in the investigation. “No one has been arrested yet and the police request members of the community to come forward with information,” he said.

Rosa aims to uplift
AS part of celebrating their annual Reach Out South Africa (Rosa) Campaign, the Christ Embassy Church embarked on various programmes to plough back into the community. One was painting the Eden Home for the Mentally Challenged in Hilton, Bloemfontein. Rhoda Bruiners, the Eden Home director, said the Christ Embassy got to know about their challenges through one of their members who had alerted the church. “We have been praying for help and we stood in faith believing that God would send someone to help us,” Bruiners said. The Eden Home houses about 120 mentally challenged people and the centre still hopes that more people will come forward to help them. “We really would like to thank the church for their support.

Boayke said that though the church provided temporary relief to disadvantaged communities, only the Word of God could give permanent relief and comfort. “This year the church also

Other projects which the church embarked on include donating school shoes to financially needy learners, cleaning up around Central Park and hosting a children’s party in one of the orphanages. The church further organised a free medical screening for the community at the Twin City Mall in Heidedal. The highlight of the Rosa campaign is the distribution of the church’s daily devotional pamphlet named Rhapsody of Realities through which communities are taught the Word of God.

God’s love the greatest gift of all } Past. Mutombo Kumwimba THERE is no attribute of God as incredible as his love, nothing compares to his never-ending love. Everything about God is about love and everything God does, is motivated by love. Humans, however, are motivated by different agendas. I might do good to you today with the agenda of getting something from you tomorrow. If I do not get what I need, then I’ll never do good to you again. This
is not love, it is manipulation. When we reflect on God’s perfect love, he simply loves. There is nothing we as human beings can offer God in return for his love. He heals us simply because of his love. He delivers us, blesses, protects, provides, sanctifies and saves just because of love and He expects nothing in return. John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son . . . Here we see that Jesus was a
gift of redemption motivated by love. No one comes to God except through Jesus; no one receives anything from God expect through the name of Jesus. In other words, Jesus spells love.
That is why no man can say he loves Jesus if he does not love his brother or sister. Without love we are bankrupt. Love is the fuel that sets the vehicle of Christianity in forward motion. Without love we are nothing. Love is the umbrella that protects us against the scorching sun of hatred. Without love Christianity has no meaning; love is our protection against evil. Your bank account may be filled with millions, your brain
may be full of information, but if your heart is empty of love, then your life is empty. ) To hear more of these messages, for your healing and deliverance, we invite you to attend the New Horizon Ministry at the Joe Solomon Primary School in Heidedal every Sunday from 09:00. You are also invited to attend our healing and deliverance service on 31 October from 19:30. For more information and a prayer request call us on 071-214-9404.

Nation’s heartbeat no longer heard HISTORY is full of inspiring tales about the united and commonly shared South African historical heartbeat that moved the nation through song, robust journalism and the creative arts, which inspired many men and women to take a firm and unapologetic stance that the struggle for freedom will be achieved and won in their lifetime. Today many of us have come to accept that we live in very interesting times. Where every day we ask ourselves what will our lives become and what kind of future will we shape and inspire for those who come after us. This feeling of discontent and worry is mainly exasperated by the daily instances many of us face in our communities. These include house robberies, violent crimes, lack of essential services, protests and abuse of women and vulnerable children. As every day passes by, we have become comfortable as a society that these bad and evil things are part and parcel of the wrongs of our society at large and we have no choice but to live with them. Our souls as people have been greatly damaged and hurt and our healing seems to be a distant dream. The things we should find comfort in, do not give us permanent comfort but a temporary one. This has been illustrated by the kind of music,

Forum to be held in 2015 THE countdown to the World Social Science Forum (WSSF) 2015 has begun. To be held in the coastal city of Durban from 13 to 16 September 2015, the forum brings together social scientists, politicians, policy makers and policy shapers, non-governmental organisations, activists and civil society members in one gathering to discuss issues of inequality and justice under the theme Transforming Global Relations for a Just World.
A re bueng Themba Vryman Social Activist journalism and the creative arts we have been exposed to. This has allowed a situation where we have accepted that we shall not find comfort from them for our troubled souls. Many of us who are still relatively young, have not experienced what music, robust journalism and the vibrant creative arts can do to heal our souls and inspire us to be the change agents for a better and equal South Africa. Through song and creative arts, comfort and solacement was found and the hope that tomorrow will be better was guaranteed. Here we remember uMama Africa Miriam Makeba whose voice was the mouthpiece for those who came before us and who were oppressed. We remember Bra Gibson Kente, well known as the father of township drama, with his imposing and intimidating stage presence. He was a global ambassador of hope for the marginalised. Here we also remember the famous Drum-era photographer
Bra Alfred “Alf” Khumalo who was a master photographer and gave pictures a powerful presence in the national discourse of that era. His work ensured that the world was alive to the reality that South Africa was burning. These artists and many others whose works have been recognised here and elsewhere in the world as the heartbeat that kept the nation alive and ensured the cries of the nation not going unheard, have proved how powerful a song and the creative arts were and could be to address the challenges of a society. South Africa today is a new country with a new struggle. The material conditions have greatly improved and there is a general hope that our country will be a better place “one day”. However, the reality cannot be ignored that there are people who remain poor, people who have no water and electricity, and there are greater crimes against women and vulnerable children. Many of these people do no
’. . . take a stance and say enough is enough, the marginalised people’s suffering is our suffering too, that hour and moment is now and should not be postponed.’ have powerful voices for their cries to be heard. These people need to be spoken for and their sufferings must be shown to the powers that be either in government or the business community. Many of our modern-day artists appear to be self-centred. Their focus is aimed at chasing their own dreams of a better life. The pain and sufferings of the most underprivileged is put on mute and as they struggle every day. They hope that somebody out there will hear their cries and tell the world about their poor conditions. It has never been more appropriate and more urgent that the modern-day Miriam Makebas, Gibson Kentes and Alf Khumalos emerge and be at the forefront of advocating for a better life for this group of marginalised people of our beloved country. This beloved country of all of us will not be built by politicians or businesspeople. All of us must lend a helping hand to truly build the country of our forefathers and fulfil their
dreams of achieving a just and equitable life for all. We owe this to all of us and the future generations that will be proud of those who came before them. South Africa must belong to all who live in it and are willing to work for it. The hour and moment of the newspaper editors, singers, graffiti artist and photographers to take a stance and say enough is enough, the marginalised people’s suffering is our suffering too. That hour and moment is now and should not be postponed. All of us have a duty to live for each other, to ensure the well-being of one another and to truly create a society premised on compassion and a better life for all. ) Express invites column contributions from its readers.

Pirates’ staying power leads to win } Tladi Moloi
A BRACE from Siyanda Ngubo saw Orlando Pirates producing a dramatic comeback to register a 2-1 victory against Free State Stars in their MultiChoice Diski Challenge encounter on Sunday at the Goble Park Stadium. Stars took the lead in the first stanza from the boot of Katleho Maphate, who brilliantly outran the Pirates defence from the centre line. The second half saw the visitors attacking in their numbers in search of an equaliser. Pirates’ never say die attitude was rewarded when Ngubo, who came from the bench, netted an equaliser making the score 2-1. Themba Sithole, the Stars mentor, said Pirates had been stronger than them in the second half. “That’s when they stole our points. Our boys played well and we cannot take anything away from their (Pirates’) secondhalf performance. “Besides the mistake by our goal keeper that saw us coming down from 2-1, a fair
Vilakazi back with FS Stars } Tladi Moloi BETHLEHEM. – Former African Warriors mentor, David Vilakazi, has reuni-ted with the Absa Premier League’s Free State Stars. He joins Ea Lla Koto after he was fired by the National First Division team African Warriors a few weeks ago. Rantsi Mokoena, Stars general manager, confirmed that they acquired the services of Vilakazi to work with Themba Sithole in their development team that would campaign in the Free State ABC Mo-tsepe League. He said Vilakazi worked in the team before and they were confident that they would produce good players for the first team.
result would have been a draw. We allowed them too much space in the second half,” he said. He said he was not disappointed with the results, because they had not fielded any of the senior team players like Pirates had done. “We are developing and therefore we had no players from the first team. They, however, had experienced players like Tlou Segolela, Lehlohonolo Masalesa and Thabo Rakgale. Their experience played an important role and that is why they came back very strong,” he said. Even though the team had suffered a 2-1 defeat Sithole told Express Eastern Free State that he was happy to announce they had players who were ready to join the first team. He added that their development team’s aim was to produce players for the senior team. “We have players who are more than ready to join the senior team. I am sure that they will be training with the first team come January,” he said.

THE Thaba Nchu 450, the seventh and penultimate round of the Donaldson Cross-Country Championship, has been cancelled. The event was scheduled to be run in the Free State town of Thaba Nchu, in the shadow of the Lesotho mountains, for the third year on 24 and 25 October. Richard Schilling, CEO of Sanora, which is responsible for the day-today running of the championship, said after the completion of the route for the race, a number of problems with landowners in the region had been encountered. “Under the circumstances and in view of time restraints, Sanora felt there was no other alternative but to cancel the race.” Schilling added that the decision to cancel the event had not been taken lightly. Donaldson Filtration Systems, the title sponsor of the series, and other stakeholders had been informed of the decision taken by Sanora. “While we are disappointed, we fully respect and understand the position of landowners. Sanora has always been mindful and sensitive towards the requirements of landowners, and we have the utmost respect for our duty to protect private property and the local community.” The final event of the Donaldson Cross-Country Championship will now be the Atlas Copco Gold 450 on the West Rand on 28 and 29 November.

ANDRÉ BRONKHORST said he had left Free State Stars because of personal problems and insisted there were no hidden agendas behind his departure. Despite joining Ea Lla Koto as a goalkeeper coach during the off-season, Bronkhorst asked the Bethlehem club to terminate his contract just seven matches into the current PSL season. “I leave Stars because of personal reasons. When I moved to Bethlehem I left my wife and daughter behind in Bloemfontein. My wife suffers from cancer and is very ill at the moment. “My daughter is doing gr. 12 and she will be writing exams soon. So, I decided to return to Bloemfontein and give them moral support,” Bronkhorst told Express. “It was a very difficult decision to ask Stars to terminate my contract, but I had to leave for personal reasons. My family comes first,” he said. Prior to joining Stars, Bronkhorst trained goalkeepers at Bloemfontein Celtic. He previously held the same position at Santos, Ajax Cape Town and Bafana Bafana. “We had a five-year plan when I joined Celtic, but when (Ernst) Middendorp arrived, he came with his technical team. So I had no choice but to look for employment elsewhere,” he explained. “I am sad to leave Stars, they are a good club. I would like to thank them for giving me the opportunity to work for them. Hopefully I will rejoin the club in the future,” he added. The Cape Town-born, who is presently unemployed, said he was planning to relocate to Cape Town at the end of this year. “It is tough for me at the moment. I will be open to offers from January,” said Bronkhorst. Rantsi Mokoena, Stars’ general manager, confirmed that Bronkhorst had left his club. “I can confirm that, yes.
