FS Health under fire

} Teboho Setena

THE DA in the Free State is anxiously awaiting the tabling of damning reports concerning crumbling service delivery in the Free State Department of Health.

The expected reports are from the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC), the Department of Labour and the Department of Public Service and Administration. The reports about the Free State Department of Health followed a public outcry about the department’s service delivery.

Mariette Pittaway, DA member in the Provincial Legislature, says last Tuesday (03/03) they received correspondence from the SAHRC stating that it has concluded its investigation into the state of the Free State Department of Health.

“The report is said to be in the process of being finalised,” says Pittaway.

She says the DA approached the SAHRC to investigate the department in June last year after Health MEC Dr Benny Malakoane and Premier Ace Magashule allegedly failed to acknowledge that the public health services in the province are in crisis.

Pittaway says both the national Departments of Labour and Public Service and Administration have investigated the department and their respective reports are expected to be tabled in Parliament shortly. “Preliminary media reports on these investigations corroborate the findings of the DA, which has waged a difficult battle to ensure delivery of quality public health care in the province for almost two years now. The DA is anxiously awaiting the tabling of these reports. The DA in the Free State has campaigned tirelessly for MEC Malakoane to be fired.

“We trust that these reports will motivate Magashule to finally admit his failure in appointing Malakoane to his executive. We are hoping for a new start for public health in the Free State. The people of this province deserve better,” says Pittaway.

A PATIENT pictured last year at the Bongani Regional Hospital in Welkom wrapped up in a sheet instead of a nappy, depicts the service delivery crisis in the Free State.

IN THE FIRING LINE: MEC for Health Dr Benny Malakoane.

Photo: Mlungisi Louw The Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) in the Free State has since last year also been campaigning for the firing of Malakoane, who was retained as MEC when Magashule appointed his new cabinet in May last year.

Magashule reasoned that the decision to retain Malakoane was to enable him to improve the state of the Department of Health after he had initially replaced deceased Fezi Ngubentombi who had died in a car accident late in 2012.

The crisis crippling the Free State Department of Health saw fed-up nurses at hospitals stage protests, some embarking on a go-slow, while at the Bongani Regional Hospital in Welkom they downed tools.

Unhappy nurses lament the department’s failure to provide essential equipment to enable them to do their work.

The campaign for drastic change in the trouble-ridden department has been fuelled by doctors in Free State hospitals, who wrote devastating accounts, published on GroundUp (groundup.org.za) in February, detailing what’s happening and telling stories of what can only be described as a department in crisis. In GroudUp, Doctors warn that many hospitals are teetering on

the brink of collapse, with minimal doctors and nurses Some of the best specialists in the province have resigned – with Malakoane only taking action after 20 did so.

Mondli Mvambi, spokesperson of the Free State Government, says Malakoane will give a full account to the public next week.

Mvambi, says that a total of 1 170 appointments have been made in the Department of Health during the current financial year. Appointments include eight specialists, 42 medical officers, 44 community service medical officers, 47 professional nurses, 66 nursing assistants and 82 staff nurses.

Soccer veterans toast golden days } Sidwell Guduka THEY used to mesmerise football fans with their skills back in the day.

On Friday (06/03) these veterans attended a get-together and partied the night away at the Sand du Plessis Primary School in Hospital Park, Bloemfontein – not even the wet weather conditions could put a damper on their event.

“These guys and I used to play soccer for Old Greys in the 1980s. But we split up and formed another team called Maranata FC,” Charles Taylor, co-organiser of the event, told Express.

“Since we stopped playing in the 1990s, some of us have not seen one another. So we thought it would be cool to organise a get-together to have fun as old friends, with our families.

“Unfortunately, we could not track down some of the guys, as we don’t have their contact details. It would have been even nice to have everyone here tonight. It is also a pity that other guys whom we used to player soccer with have passed away.

May their souls rest in peace.”

Back then soccer used to be known as a sport for black men and rugby as a sport for white men, but that did not prevent Charles and those in his team from playing the beautiful game.

“That was never a problem for us. We liked soccer and used to play against the black guys. It was really fun. We enjoyed every moment of it,” said Nicky Prinsloo, one of the organisers of the event.

Taylor, who was born in Durban, said he had never played rugby in his life.

“There were no rugby teams where I had

attended school. So I have always been playing soccer. In Durban, we used to play soccer against Indian and black teams. We later had integrated teams, even before 1994.”

Prinsloo said he had been a very versatile player in his playing days and had represented the Free State on many occasions.

Leadership to be elected THE Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) will elect officers and board members to serve in the executive of the Cultural and Creative Industries Federation of South Africa (CCIFSA).

This elective conference will see a first for South Africa – a federation with decision-making and bargaining powers in the issues that affect the cultural and creative industries the most.

The conference will take place in Bloemfontein on 23 and 24 March. A delegation of over 1 000 participants representing registered organisations operating in the cultural and

creative industries, prominent industry role players seconded by the Department of Arts and Culture’s national and provincial offices, and representatives of sector organisations and formations from all provinces will choose the CCIFSA’s leadership.

The executive of the CCIFSA board will comprise the president and a deputy, and 11 other officers – a total of 13 members.

Sectorial and gender preference will ensure a dynamic board.

“We want to give the federation the best possible start by electing a strong leadership,” says the CCIFSA’s interim spokesperson, Sipho Dlamini.

“I started off as goalkeeper, but also played in every position on the field,” Prinsloo explained.

“However, I particularly played as a left wing at Bloemfontein City.”

Success sweet for winning caterer } Selloane Khalane SEKGAMETSI MOPALAMI, owner of Sekgametsi Catering, has walked away with the first prize in the Free State Caterers Challenge held Thursday (05/03) at the Central University of Technology, Free State’s (CUT), main campus.

The prestigious competition, sponsored by the Department of Economic Development, saw 55 catering companies in the hospitality industry from across the province battling it out in a cooking competition for the grand prize of a franchise.

The six judges had the difficult task of narrowing it down to the last 12, then the top three caterers who were scored on table setting, business plans and creation of a restaurant menu, among other criteria.

The competition, held in the kitchens of the Hospitality Department at the CUT, had competitors delivering a high-end threecourse meal consisting of a starter, main course and dessert, within two and a half hours.

Mopalami, in an interview with Express after she was announced as the winner, said she had hoped to at least make it to the top three in the competition.

Mopalami’s berry and raspberry dessert with a touch of chocolate and whipped cream impressed the judges and landed her the first prize of a restaurant franchise.

The competition was initiated by Msebenzi Zwane, Economic Development MEC, who said the competition gave caterers in the province exposure and also educated catering companies on how to turn their passion of cooking into a viable business.

Many of the competitors said the competition would help elevate their businesses to the next level and judging by the food presented to the judges, it is quite clear that the Free State caterers know how to stand the heat in the kitchen.

WINNING RECIPE: Sekgametsi Mopalami adds the finishing touches to her dessert creation on her way to claiming the first prize.

Salt intake needs guide “EVIDENCE has shown that regularly eating too much salt puts us at an increased risk of developing high blood pressure, which is the main cause of strokes and a major cause of heart attacks and heart failures,” says Irene Labuschagne, a dietician at the Nutritional Information Centre of the Stellenbosch University (Nicus).

According to Labuschagne, 31,8% of South Africans have high blood pressure.

“Food regulation is not enough to reduce South Africans’ salt intake and educating the public is crucial to the success of salt reduction.”

The main source of table salt is sodium, which helps to regulate the body’s fluid balance, but the amount people eat is far more than required.

The World Health Organisation recommends that adults eat less than five grams of salt (a teaspoon) a day.

Internationally accepted guidelines state that any food with more than 600 mg of sodium per 100 g can be considered unhealthy. In South Africa, many products exceed this limit.

This has prompted the South African Department of Health to take a legislative route towards lowering salt content in foods. This will give food manufacturers until June 2016 to comply with the first set of guidelines.

Different products have been given different time frames, allowing producers to adapt their strategies.

Big guns stars at show

SOUNDS like thunder will rumble through the hills at the Sandstone Estate in Ficksburg next month.

Photo: David Benn

} Tilly Smith STARTING on 2 April, a sound like thunder will rumble through the hills of the Eastern Free State’s Sandstone Estate in Ficksburg for ten days.

This will not be thunder as we know it, but the noise of heavy armour being put through its paces by the South African Armour Museum in Bloemfontein.

The museum will put a very impressive contingent of heavy-armoured fighting vehicles on display, which will be operational for the enjoyment of the public throughout the show.

The show forms part of the annual Stars of Sandstone Festival.

Emphasis is placed on the public

open day on Saturday, 11 April. The army looks forward to meeting members of the public and providing demonstrations of its capabilities.

The theme behind the deployment of these heavy tanks is a historical one. For example, the iconic Russian tanks, namely the T34, the T55 and the T72, will all be operational.

These tanks reflect Russia’s involvement in Africa, particularly during the Cold War. On the South African side, there will be an Olifant Mk 1A heavy-battle tank and an Olifant Mk 1B of which only a small number were made.

This heavy armour will be backed up by the fully-operational Mk IV Sherman tank, dating back to the Second World War, which has been

restored and is operated by the Sandstone Heritage Trust who will host the Stars of Sandstone 2015.

Finally, the army will bring its current wheeled armoured fighting vehicle (AFV), the Rooikat, which is still employed in active service with the Defence Force.

People with a military background, those with an interest in the military, and simply dads who want to show their boys what heavy-armoured vehicles look like in operation, cannot miss the Stars of Sandstone 2015.

Talented Thapelo creates magic } Selloane Maletsatsi Moleli SOUTH AFRICAN rapper Thapelo Motlhatlhedi, also known under the name Lava, is a self-taught mixing engineer from Thaba Nchu in the Free State. He first dipped his toes in the industry after landing his first job as a mixing engineer at Electromode in 2011.

He has since successfully showed off his musically creative skills after working on several hits for musicians like Teargas and Bongani Fassie. Thapelo has proven to be a true asset to the Electromode team. This ultimately led to his current position as head mixing engineer and musician at the Khustic Media Recording Studio.

He performs magic on the mixing boards whilst offering a taste of truth with his potent lyrics as a hip-hop musician. His single Thola Zaka, featuring Priddy Ugly (produced by B1Beatz), is just the first step to the ultimate goal of releasing his first full-length album, which is currently in progress, along with plans for an EPK, second single and a music video.

From this point on, Thapelo will continue working his passion by contributing to the music industry and creating more connections. He is also eager to make an even bigger musical impact both nationally and internationally.

Fashion and music fusion ON Saturday (14/03) Bloemfontein will be ablaze with glitz, glamour, fashion, music and lights as the Annual Oscar Nite Yellow Carpet Fashion Spectacular (ONYCFS) returns to the city of Roses.

The event promises to be a star-studded affair with a lineup of world-renowned musicians.

Fashionistas are encouraged to make an “Oscar Nite fashion statement” on the night with the ONYCFS having witnessed many different styles over the past five years. This year it actively seeks to promote an individual fashion message.

For the first time the ONYCFS has partnered with local fashion companies to produce merchandise that will be on sale at the event.

This in return will seek to encourage the design, making and purchase of locally-produced goods.

Fashionistas who attend the ONYCFS are encouraged to raid their wardrobes, hit the streets and make a statement this year by expressing their inner persona by wearing local.

Young designers taking on the challenge of stimulating the local fashion industry will craft garments specifically for the ONYCFS event and will showcase their flair for the 2015 edition.

The ONYCFS supports the Wear South Africa Campaign.

The 2015 edition not only brings together some of the greatest musicians, but also features great fashion from some of Free State’s best local

emerging designers, promoting local fashion: glitz, glamour and high end.

The fashion part of the event is aimed at encouraging Free Staters to buy locallyproduced clothing, shoes and textile goods through providing a platform for young and upcoming designers to showcase their talents.

The event has grown by leaps and bounds to become an important flag bearer for the role and contribution of the performing arts, especially house music, in tourism, nation building and, above all, economic development. Over the years, the event has attracted a growing audience from all corners of the country and neighbouring countries.

The event’s pre-party will be held at Cubana Lounge on Friday (13/03) while the main event is at Pacofs from 14:00 until 04:00 the following day.

This year’s theme is Kofifi (Sophiatown) in HD – imagine tweed suits, polyester dresses for women, pantyhose, leather clutch bags, cute hats and heels.

This will inspire a retro and vintage look while the line-up on the music side includes Zonke, Lira, Thebe, Pulse of Joy, The Fraternity, Ralf Gum, Vinny Da Vinci and many others.

Tickets cost R150 for general access, while R200 gets you into the golden circle and an Oscar Nite goodie bag, and R800 gets you VIP access.

Tickets are available at the Pacofs booking office, call 051-447-7772, or visit the website www.pacofs.co.za.

Pretoria, here we come } Tladi Moloi

REITZ. – The Petsana Residents Association (PRA) is going to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to hand over its memorandum of demands to Aaron Motsoaledi, the minister of Health.

The march will be held on Monday, 16 March.

The members of the PRA have decided to take action in this way, hoping for positive feedback regarding the reopening of the Nketoana District Hospital.

Express Eastern Free State previously reported on the PRA’s concerns about the medical ward of the hospital closing down and the patients being transferred to the Phekolong Hospital in Bohlokong near Bethlehem (“Petsana objects to ‘closed’ hospital”, 21 January, and “Response expected today”, 4 February).

The hospital has been integrated to form the Phekolong Nketoana District Hospital Complex.

According to Majola Dumezweni, the chairperson of the PRA, the association has been fighting for the reopening of the hospital, but has achieved no success with the Free State Department of Health.

The association submitted a memorandum of grievances to the management of the Nketoana Hospital late last year. Among the demands were the reopening of the hospital, as well as the recruitment of nurses and doctors.

A response to the memorandum was sent via fax on Thursday, 29 January. However, they were not happy with the response, Dumezweni says.

The members of the association went on another march on Monday, 16 February.

They wanted Benny Malakoane, the MEC for Health in the Free State, to receive the memorandum, but he never showed up.

They refused to hand over the memoran-

dum to the person to whom the task had been delegated.

“These people are taking us for a ride. We are not playing games here. We are fighting for the lives of our people. How could they decide to make the hospital a complex without consulting the community?”

Dumezweni says.

was taken early in 2000 to complex the hospitals. It further states that this was intended to, among other things, improve efficiency and effectiveness, as well as to facilitate the sharing of resources.

Dumezweni says they are going to the main head of the Department of Health and promises radical, robust action should they get a negative response from the minister.

“The ANC government is not happy to see

people following the right channels. They only come to the party when there is blood involved. And we will follow that route if we have to. We want that hospital open.”

Dumezweni says the PRA has the support of the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) and they are hoping to join them on the day of the march. “People are willing to donate money for transport and we are making arrangements,” Dumezweni says.

SMEs can access valuable information GETTING an innovative firm off the ground or expanding it requires money, but financing SMEs is a risky proposition for financiers.

To solve this, South Africa needs more funders, investors and banks willing to take the risk, and South African entrepreneurs need a better understanding of investor and funder concerns in order to be able to provide assurances about the soundness of their proposal.

Access to finance has been singled out as the major challenge impeding the survival and growth of start-up and seasoned SMEs. The ability of SMEs to grow depends highly on their potential to invest in restructuring and innovation. And all these investments require capital.

The National Small Business Chamber (NSBC) is dedicated to the success of small business in South Africa.

To this end, the NSBC is gearing up to host the seventh My Business Expo JoBurg, now the largest event of its kind in the world.

This is a small business and entrepreneurial extravaganza, which sees thousands of delegates from all over South Africa attending.

Taking place at the Gallagher Convention Centre, Midrand, Johannesburg, on Thursday (12/03), My Business Expo also features the all-important Access to

Finance Indaba, “There is a host of learning opportunities to be had at My Business Expo,” says Mike Anderson, founder and CEO of the NSBC. In particular, the range of top-of-the-line seminars offers SMEs invaluable practical, how-to advice on a range of critical business topics around accessing finance.

Topics include credit wellness, tips and strategies to financial freedom, what SMEs need to do, to access finance, what the funders are looking for, Different types of funding, different types of lenders, why people aren’t getting finance, How to become a dream candidate for funders, Business rescue: turning around a financially distressed business.

Access to the Finance Indaba 2015, powered by the National Small Business Chamber (NSBC), is aimed at unravelling the complexity of accessing finance for small businesses – designed to encourage SMEs to think about different strategies of fund-raising for their business.

My Business Expo and Access to Finance Indaba is free to attend, provided you pre-register at www.mybizexpo.co.za.

With only a few hours left before the event kicks off, register now to benefit from a wealth of information and inspiration designed to help you start or expand your small business.

Resort to be officially opened YET another modern and appealing getaway facility has been added in the already exciting range of outdoor facilities owned by the Department of Economic, Small Business Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs (Destea) in the Free State.

After being closed for almost three years, the old dilapidated rondavels at the Maria Moroka Resort have been transformed into six wonderful chalets with a magnificent view of the Thaba Nchu mountain.

The resort, ideal for rejuvenating

sunrises and memorable sundowners, will be officially opened by the Free State premier, Ace Magashule, on Thursday (12/03).

Talking about the Free State tourism potential, MEC for Destea, Mosebenzi Zwane, always says: “The biggest challenge and our own undoing, I want to believe, is that we do not aggressively market the resources at our disposal.

“In the Free State we always look for short-term gains instead of investing time and resources for long-term benefits.”

‘Truth and mercy walk together’ } Past. Tim Omotoso PSALM 51:1-2: “Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.”

Our achievements are not dependent on our efforts, but on God’s loving kindness.

What brings pride is when we attribute our achievements to our own effort. Mercy is God’s property.

There are different forms of mercy; there is a multitude of God’s tender mercies, there is also sure mercies of David.

The sure mercies of David are insured and guaranteed. Our God wears a coat of many colours.

The scripture says “ . . . according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies.”

This means there is a mercy that is not tender but harsh.

Even as humans, when we forgive a person we follow up that forgiveness with a gift to show to the person that they are forgiven.

So was the case of the prodigal son who received mercy and a celebration was given on his account.

As children of God, we must speak the truth or we will ruin God’s plan for our lives.

Those who receive mercy are those who speak the truth. Psalm

51:6 says, “Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.”

Speak the truth and walk humbly before God. Truth and mercy walk together.

We cannot receive mercy without speaking the truth.

Speaking the truth sets us free from guilt and also from the sin committed.

Once we speak the truth and repent, we should not go back to that sin.

The prodigal son never went

back after he had repented.

Mercy, grace and the loving kindness of God sustains us.

We should set ourselves free from the prison of condemnation.

God has mercy on us, yet we have not forgiven ourselves.

Prayer Point: Lord, do not look at my past. Have mercy on me.

Whatever blessing I have lost through my sin, weakness, wickedness, or ancestral spirit, restore them back to me a hundred times, in Jesus’ name. ) WoW: “When the Lord comes, your load goes.” X Tim Omotoso

New example of rare star discovered } Dr Nicola Loaring ASTRONOMER Dr Alexei Kniazev from the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO), together with collaborators from the Lomonosov Moscow State University, Dr Vasilii Gvaramadze and Dr Leonid Berdnikov, have recently discovered a new example of an incredibly rare kind of star known as a Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) star.

Out of the billions of stars mapped in our skies, only 16 confirmed Luminous Blue Variable stars are known to date.

The star, named WS1, is the latest addition to this incredibly rare group of stars. LBV stars are of interest to astronomers because they are extremely old stars which may soon die and blow apart in a supernova explosion, one of the most powerful explosions in the universe.

Just like humans, stars do not live forever. Once their fuel has run out they stop shining and die.

Stars that are much more massive than the sun end their lives in powerful supernova explosions which can outshine all the other billions of stars in their galaxy put together.

We never know when or where one of these explosions will take place, but we can keep an eye on those stars most likely to go supernova in the near future: Luminous Blue Variable stars.

LBV’s represent a stage in the evolution of very massive stars towards the end of their life.

For stars with initial masses of between 20 to 25 times that of our sun, the LBV stage occurs just before the star dies in a spectacular supernova explosion.

For even more massive stars, they pass through the LBV phase slightly earlier in their lifetimes, but those stars too will eventually die in a supernova explosion.

LBV stars are much hotter and, therefore, more luminous than our sun.

They are some of the most luminous stars known, with brightnesses ranging from 250 000 to 1 million times brighter than our sun. As a consequence of their high mass, they evolve very quickly and have – astronomically speaking – short lifetimes.

LBV-type stars have a total lifetime of around a few million years and spend much less than one million years in the LBV phase of their evolution. The LBV phase can be thought of as a “stellar retirement” for the

THE Hubble Space Telescope image showing Eta Carinae, the most well-studied example of a LBV star.

The star is surrounded by a bipolar (dumbbell-shaped) cloud called the Homunculus Nebula. The nebula was partly formed from matter ejected from the star’s atmosphere during an eruption which was viewed on earth in 1841 (though which actually took place around 7 500 years ago as light takes so long to reach Earth from the star). Eta Carinae, the central star, appears as the white patch near the centre of the image, where the two lobes of the Homunculus Nebula touch.

The sun, for comparison, has a total lifetime of around 9 billion years (the sun is 4,5 billion years old now, and middle-aged).

Because the LBV phase is so short-lived you have to be incredibly lucky to catch a star at the LBV stage of its life. This explains why they are so rare compared with other types of star.

LBV stars lose vast amounts of mass as their upper atmosphere streams off into space in a so-called “stellar wind”.

These stars undergo random

‘Just like humans, stars do not live forever. Once their fuel has run out they stop shining and die.’ outbursts at their surfaces, spewing their outer atmosphere into space.

These outbursts cause variations in their brightness which is one of the key observational

signatures of such a star.

Another consequence of their immense mass loss, is the formation of a bipolar or circular nebula, or cloud, around the star composed of material that has been lost from the star’s atmosphere. These nebulae are found enveloping approximately 70% of confirmed LBV stars. Eta Carinae is a famous and wellstudied example of a LBV star with a beautiful bipolar nebula.

As most LBVs are enshrouded in a nebula, astronomers often look for possible LBV candidates by searching for such nebulae. In

Mr and Mrs Thabo My last resort to bring back my lost lover.

Me and my wife Bridget had given up after losing my job and struggling to keep up with my car and house payment. I had to change schools for my children from private schools to government schools because financially we were not stable anymore, but thanks to my in-law who gave me this woman of God's number, she helped me to turn my life around financially by giving me a magic ring which brought back hope into my life. It cost me only R800 and for the first time in my life I went into a casino with my wife and we used our magic to hit a jackpot. Now my house and car are paid off and my children are back in private schools - now life is so wonderful, so in case you are looking for the best healer, please look no more.

the case of WS1, Kniazev and collaborators were alerted to the possibility that the star could be a LBV because they found in 2011 that it is surrounded by a circular shell of material that emits light at infra-red wavelengths. This prompted them to make follow-up optical observations of the central star to confirm whether or not the star was a LBV. In 2011, using the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) they obtained a spectrum of the star (akin to a fingerprint) and found features in the spectrum typically associated with LBV type stars.

However, this information was not sufficient to confirm whether WS1 was indeed a LBV. To do this, astronomers needed to observe the star over a long time period to confirm whether its variability in brightness and in its spectral features matched that expected from a LBV type star.

Kniazev and collaborators continued to observe WS1 between 2013 and 2014 using the SALT telescope to look for changes in the star’s spectrum.

They also monitored the star’s brightness between 2011 and 2014 using the South African Astronomical Observatory’s 1,9 m telescope and combined their observations with publicly available data spanning over 40 years.

By combining the information from all their observations, they found that WS1 did indeed exhibit all the observational characteristics of a LBV type star and concluded that WS1 is an incredibly rare Luminous Blue Variable star.

“We were very lucky to discover major spectral and brightness changes in WS1 without having to wait for too long,” says Kniazev.

“With this discovery, we unambiguously proved the LBV status of this star. We expect that subsequent spectral analysis will allow us to determine fundamental parameters of WS1, for example its temperature and luminosity. We also hope to find more bona fide LBV’s using SALT, which will help us to understand better the evolution of LBV type stars and their relation to other types of massive, old stars.”

This discovery, published as a Letter to Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society brings the total number of LBV stars known to date to 16. ) Dr Nicola Loaring is the Outreach Astronomer of SAAO.

Loss was a ‘reality-check’ JP DUMINY, Castle Lager Proteas all-rounder, says the batsmen have to take more responsibility during the pressure situations following their 29-run (D/L Method) loss to Pakistan in Auckland on Saturday (07/03).

Duminy, one of the senior cogs in the team, says the loss was a reality-check, and that the true character of the team will be determined by the way they respond in the rest of the ICC Cricket World Cup. “The hunger probably wasn’t there from a batting perspective,” he said in Wellington, where they will play their Group B match against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Thursday.

“Nobody, bar AB (De Villiers), took the responsibility to take the team through.

Guys got in but never carried the team through. I am one of the culprits. I felt like I was in, but I threw my wicket away.”

He says the batsmen’s lack of fight on Saturday was disappointing, but that the final match against the UAE will be a good opportunity to “get a few things right” ahead of the knock-out matches.

After 10 years of struggling, my husband is back at home after mama Linda showed me my enemies in a mirror . We are now a happy, married couple - thank you, mama Linda.

My husband stayed with his girlfriend for 10 years. Without him I struggled to support myself and could not even pay our children's school fees.

I visited traditional healers, but with no help. Then I heard of Maria Linda on a radio talk show and my neighbour whom he helped and rescued from black magic. I visited mama Linda and paid R200. He told me about my future and my marriage problems. He put a mirror in a dish with water and I saw the faces of my enemies and my husband's girlfriend.

He prayed for me and gave me holy water and oil to wash myself. After two days I saw results, my enemies confessed their wrong doings towards me and my husband left his girlfriend and come back home. I'm now happy after visiting mama Linda .

City of Roses to host top-class athletics } Sidwell Guduka

DANIE MIENIE of the Toyota Cheetahs is being challenged by a Bulls player during their Vodacom Super Rugby match in Bloemfontein this past weekend.

THE Mangaung Athletics Stadium in Bloemfontein will be a hive of activity when the annual Free State Provincial Secondary Schools Athletics Championships take place there this weekend.

The two-day athletics meeting – which will be hosted by the Free State Secondary Schools Athletics Association, in conjunction with the Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation, the Free State Sports Science Institute (FSSSI) as well as the Department of Education – starts on Friday (13/02) and ends a day later.

Wimpie Lodewyk, chairperson of Free State Secondary Schools Athletics, said it was all systems go for them to host this event.

“I’m so happy to say that preparations are going very well for this event. I’m quite positive this is going to be one of the best championships that we have ever had,” Lodewyk told Express.

“We are expecting between 1 600 and 1 700 athletes from 240 schools across the province who will be taking part in the event. We will be using this event to select

athletes that will be representing the province at the annual South African Athletics Championships later this year,” he said.

Lodewyk commended their partners who came on board to make sure the event was a success.

“We really cannot host an event of this magnitute without having partners and all the role players, because it is just too costly. So I want to thank each and every one who is making contributions to ensure that this meeting is a success,” he said.

Asked whether load shedding was not a concern to the local organising committee, Lodewyk said: “We have already made provision for load shedding. We will be able to handle any crisis should there be one. So there is no need to worry,” he said confidently.

Entrance tickets will be offered at a special, complimentary tariff of R50 per adult and R10 per learner.

“Spectators have the dual opportunity to watch the best athletics and rugby match between the Toyota Cheetahs and the Sharks at the same venue and day,” explained Lodewyk.

Cheetahs not deterred by loss NAKA DROTSKÉ is adamant that the Toyota Cheetahs will bounce right back from their disappointing Vodacom Super Rugby defeat against the Vodacom Bulls this past weekend.

The Cheetahs’ two match-winning run was ended by a 39-20 loss to the Tshwane side in Bloemfontein last Saturday (07/03).

But Drotské, the Cheetahs’ coach, is certain his side will soon get back to their winning ways, starting with this Saturday’s clash against the Cell C Sharks at the Free State Stadium in the City of Roses.

“We are not pressing the panic button yet. It is still early days. We have just played three matches and have won two of them.

“So we will definitely bounce back to our winning ways,” said Drotské.

“It is crucial that we beat the Sharks in our next game this week before we go on tour.

“I’m really confident we will beat them.

“But anything can happen in this competition,” he said.

Drotské’s words were echoed by the team’s skipper, Francois Uys, who also believes that the Cheetahs will return to their winning ways sooner rather than later.

“Losing against the Bulls was a

setback, but we will bounce back.

“This competition is not a sprint, it’s 12 months of hard work and dedication.

“Like Naka has said, we had done well before our match against the Bulls, winning two games in a row.

“Our own errors cost us the match on Saturday.

“But we’ll fix those mistakes ahead of the next encounter,” said Uys. Following Saturday’s defeat the Cheetahs have dropped to third position on the South African conference log and eighth on the combined log.

They have amassed nine points after beating the Sharks in Durban and the Blues at home last month.

“I thought the Bulls played really well. All credit to them.

“Trailing 23-6 against a quality side like them at halftime, it was always going to be difficult to come back.

“We had to play a little bit risky in the second half in order to catch up and try to win the game. But it didn’t pay off,” said Drotské.

“We are positive going forward. I’m hoping that we will have Sarel (Pretorius), Willie (Britz) and Heinrich (Brüssow) back for the Sharks game this week.

“These three are crucial players for us,” he said.

Saturday’s match starts at 17:05.

ALL SMILES: At Protea Hotel Willow Lake, Bloemfontein, during the official launch of the annual Free State Secondary Schools Athletics Championships last Thursday were from the left Ronald Rakaku, ambassador, Kutlwano Tlhakudi, chief director of the Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation, Nadia Meiring, ambassador, Malebogo Molete, ambassador, and André Viviers, chairperson of the local organising comittee.

I now believe miracles can still happen.

After 15 years of suffering, I made an appointment with mama Janet and Prof.

My husband is back after 15 years of divorce. Mama Asiha showed me my enemies in a mirror. But now we are together again and very happy.

I almost lost hope when my husband asked for a divorce. Living without my husband for 15 years was not easy. I had to support myself financially and consulted top healers, who didn't help. I heard of mama Asiha on the radio and on television, my workmate he had helped with my financial problems.

She told me everything that was happening in my life before I said anything to her. She took out all the witchcraft, showed me the 'mirror in a dish of water'. I saw my husband's girlfriend . She prayed for me with her special powers . My enemies confessed now and I'm also now promoted at work . I don't know how to thank mama Asiha, but to make it public. With her magic ring she can protect homes from bad evils.

Contact Mama Asiha for an appointment on 081 095 9948.

THE struggling SuperSport United have had the better of Phunya Sele Sele in recent seasons, but Wednesday’s (11/03) clash at the Free State Stadium could prove to be tricky for Gordon Igesund’s troops. Matsatsantsa have lost two back-to-back matches going into Wednesday’s fixture and they have a mountain to climb when they come up against a resurgent Bloemfontein Celtic side who are unbeaten so far this year.

CELTIC will rely on players Siwelele appear to have like Mukuka Mulenga been revitalised under (right) to score goals when Clinton Larsen, who they face SuperSport Unitreturned to the Mangaung ed at the Free State Stadi- Celtic manager, told Express.

Things in my life went from good to worse in a very short time. My love live, financial problems jealousy, my husband’s family were all against me. Luckily I came across Marria through a friend. She helped me and showed me my enemies through a mirror for only R200. She did miracles in my life. She told me all my problems without mentioning anything to her. She showed me the people who worked hard to see me suffering some of which were my friends and relatives. She performed a special prayer, washed away my bad luck and cleansed my home.

Gave me a love potion with a ring for my financial problems in less than five days, my husband was always by my side and my enemies confessed and asked for forgiveness.

stood a good chance of winning the Q3.

“We have a good team to compete with. But we just need to concentrate on our game and take our matches one at a time. If we win our next two encounters against United and Polokwane City, we can win it,” he said.

All eyes will be on Celtic striker Lerato Lamola, who has scored nine goals so far this season. He is the Premier Soccer League’s joint top-scorer with Cuthbert Malajila of Mamelodi Sundowns.

So, Lamola will be hoping to get his name on the score sheet to increase his goal tally. The Limpopo-born hitman will rely heavily on players such as Mukuka Mulenga, Musa Nyatama and Thapelo Morena to supply passes to him.

On the other hand, United will be hoping that striker Jeremy Brockie continues his scoring form against Siwelele on Wednesday (11/03). The New Zealander has scored four times in five matches since joining Matsatsantsa last December.

He will be the man to watch for United, but the likes of Kingston Nkhatha and Thuso Phala cannot be overlooked on the night.

The kick-off is scheduled for 19:30.

HE MADE MY BUSINESS TO GROW AND MY FINANCE TO BE CONTROLLED: I have my own business for 15 years doing well and making a lot of savings, but things began turning bad and started registering losses. My life began to fall apart, the banks were after my properties for the loans I had failed to pay. My wife and children left as I could no longer take care of them. I visited many healers, but with no positive results. I heard of MR JACOB who had helped so many people, I visited him to read my past and future - he charged me R150. I was shocked to find out that my nephew was doing the black magic on me. JACOB cleansed me and a month later I began to see progress in my business with lots of savings. Am now happy with my family which had left me because I couldn't support them anymore.

THANKS TO MR JACOB who saved my life.
