Partnership uplifts kids Donation aimed at ploughing back into the community } Tladi Moloi HARRISMITH. – The Maluti-a-Phofung Local Municipality, in partnership with Primedia Outdoor, has offered a helping hand by donating 40 school uniforms and 400 school bags to the learners of the Sentebale Primary School at Intabazwe (42 Hill) near Harrismith. The donation was handed over to the management of the school on Tuesday, 17 February. Kennedy Tshabalala, executive: rights and acquisitions at Primedia Outdoor, said the donation was aimed at ploughing back into the community. “It is important to plough back into the community as a corporate social investment. “We engage with the municipality to find out what challenges they have and they direct us. That is the reason we came here today,” he said. Tshabalala said it was the first time they had made a donation in Maluti-aPhofung and added that it was not something that would end at Sentebale, because they would like to become more involved in the future. “We have a long-standing relationship with the local municipality where we have the right to erect billboards. We then get third parties to advertise on them. We get revenue from those adverts and later pay a certain percentage to the municipality,” he said. Vusi Tshabalala, the executive mayor of Maluti-a-Phofung, said he was happy that they had managed to change the lives of these youngsters through this partnership. “We made a promise to the school last year that we would come back with something for them. “Early childhood development is a priority in the ANC manifesto. We saw it fit to donate school uniforms to needy children. “Most importantly, the donation took place in my birthday month,” the mayor said. The mayor said they would identify more schools to help and added that there were more business people who were willing to invest in the future of children. Sibongile Nkabinde, the school principal, welcomed the donation with open arms. “I am very happy for the children who benefitted from the partnership. “The learners who received uniforms were those who really needed it,” Nkabinde said.

Domestic violence in spotlight } Tladi Moloi QWAQWA. – The Department of Police, Roads and Transport in the Free State embarked on a massive campaign to raise awareness of domestic violence in Qwaqwa, the Maluti-a-Phofung Local Municipality and Cornelia in the Mafube Local Municipality. The door-to-door campaign started in the Thabong Village on Wednesday (18/02), followed by a visit to Lusaka in Makwane on Thursday (19/02) before the department’s employees departed for Cornelia on the same day on a similar mission. The campaign was aimed at educating the communities about domestic violence and to inform victims about their legal rights in instances of domestic violence. According to Reggie Monyaki, the deputy director of the Compliance Unit Domestic Violence of the Department of Police, Roads and Transport, they targeted specific areas where large numbers of cases of domestic violence had been reported. “We worked with our police offices to identify the areas which were mostly affected by this type of crime. “We went on a door-to-door campaign because we believe that was the way in which we could make a positive contribution. “We reached more people than we would have reached if we called a public meeting,” he said. Domestic violence is a pattern of behaviour in a relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner or a close relative. It is a serious crime against society and has unacceptably high incidences in South Africa. The victims of domestic violence are always the most vulnerable members of society, namely women and children. The Domestic Violence Act, 1998 (Act no. 116 of 1998) divides domestic violence into five sections, which are physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, financial

Fighters, survivors honoured at relay
PHUTHADITJHABA. – The University of the Free State (UFS) Qwaqwa Campus hosted the very first Cansa Relay for Life at a tertiary institution in South Africa on Friday night (20/02). This emotional event was held in the Rolihlahla Mandela Multi-purpose Hall under the theme Celebrate, Remember, Fight Back! Mathapelo Moloi, a head at the Qwaqwa Campus Clinic, said the event was aimed at celebrating the lives of those who escaped from the claws of cancer and continued to fight the dreadful disease.
“We were sending the message to our students and community members that cancer, life-threatening as it is, can be beaten,” Moloi said. “However, we were also remembering those who had succumbed to the disease and encouraged those undergoing treatment to keep on fighting back.” Over 30 cancer survivors from the Qwaqwa community were part of the celebrations. The event was held in partnership with Cansa, e.tv, ER24, Bokomo’s Weetbix and the South African Clothing and Textile Workers Union.
statement,” he said. He said what they had learnt was that people were afraid to report cases of abuse. He added that those were exactly the cases in which it was not easy for the police to intervene, because the violence occurred behind closed doors. A Lusaka resident, who preferred to remain anonymous for safety reasons, said she had learnt a lot from the campaign.
She said her younger brother had been a stone in her shoe and every time she opened a case against him, the police released him without charging him. “He abuses me. At one stage he told me that I should leave the house because he was not happy with the man I was dating. He acted as though he was protecting me, but I won’t allow that to happen, I will live my life by my rules,” she said.

Is there really no formula to love? IS love socially constructed or an emotion? February has been declared the month of love. Those who are fortunate enough (depending whether one considers being in a relationship a fortune or misfortune) try to express their love to their partners. Usually, this expression is demonstrated through among other things gifts or a marriage proposal or exorbitant weddings. As people struggle with their thoughts and emotions to find the perfect gift; create a stimulating loving atmosphere; identify the best method of proposing or reserve an exquisite venue for a wedding, it is always said that they do not have to worry, because “it is the thought that counts” or “love has no formula”. I always wonder: does love really have no formula? Do thoughts really count or are these phrases used ambivalently? In the subsequent paragraphs I intend to comprehend the accuracy and authenticity of the statement “love has no formula and it is the thought that counts”. Due to numerous definitions of love, I shall refrain from delineating or conceptualising love. Marriage is or is supposed to be an institution of love where those who are married become one. Those who are married
My view
Benedict Leteane Social observer prefer to say marriage is challenging, but interesting. I think any relationship out of marriage is challenging, but also interesting. My concern with this institution is that it alters love. When one gets married one no longer tends to express love to one’s partner in the way that one used to do. This is because of the social construction of marriage (gender disparity). The transformation from dating to getting married changes the nature of love. Now you are being told how to demonstrate your love to the same person you met on the corner of the street, at the pub, in the mall, online or at church. Gifts are an essential part of relationships. In some weird way they symbolise people’s affection for one another. Some gifts seem to be associated more with love than others, gifts such as chocolates,
roses and diamond rings. Should a person fail to provide any of the mentioned items, then that person will be labelled by some as boring or a person without taste. What happened to “it is the thought that counts”? I fully believe that thoughts do count. In fact, I think thoughts contribute a lot to love. As we come to the end of February, may we ask ourselves these questions: Did we express what is known as love out of choice or did societal expectation compel us to behave the way we did? Is there an alternative method of portraying love without doing what society has told us to do? It is rewarding to be in love. Let’s express love from our heart and emotions and not from a societal point of view. After all, you know your partner. ) To comment or express your views about the issue highlighted in the column, go to www.express-news.co.za.

Think differently about money
BY 2010, most people knew there was a global financial crisis. Unfortunately, most people did not know what to do about it. Rather than let go, most clenched their fists tighter and waited for the crisis to pass, praying that their political leaders could solve this global crisis and that happy days would return. A few knew they had to make changes. Yet, without a strong financial education, they did not know what to do or how to change. I am not very religious, yet I learned very important lessons in Sunday School. Two lessons that are still applicable today are: ) Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. X Matthew 5:5. The meek does not mean the weak. The meek are those who are humble enough to know they need to reduce their arrogance and be willing to learn anew. ) My people are destroyed from a lack of knowledge. X Hosea 4:6. The real financial crisis is a crisis of an educational system that is obsolete and out of touch with the real world. The financial crisis will not go away until our schools inform learners about the truth behind jobs, work, taxes, and investing.
My view Thabo Mosole Life coach It is time our schools stop training learners to become dependent (employees). If we do not teach people about money, we will have many more people like the proverbial poor dad: a very good, well-educated, hard-working, and honest man, but a man who died angry at the rich expecting the government to take care of him. It is time we set people free. Humans cannot find freedom until they let go of old ideas. As Albert Einstein rightly said, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Yet, that is what people are doing. They listen to obsolete experts dishing out obsolete financial advice, advice that has not worked in the past. Yet, they continue to cling to those obsolete ideas. I know it is hard to change old
ideas. As they say: “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” With humans, it is difficult to change a person who clings tightly to old ideas. Taking action is important because we learn from our mistakes. The idea that mistakes are bad, is a bad idea. If people do not make mistakes, they fail to learn, which is why my poor dad remained poor. Rather than look at the loss of his job, the election, and his ice-cream business as blessings, he looked at his failures – just as a school teacher would – and punished himself for making mistakes. He died a poor man, not realising that his failures were his biggest opportunities to learn and to grow. You see, in school, students who make the most mistakes are labelled stupid. In the real world, people who make the most mistakes and learn from them, become smarter people. Looking forward to the budget speech of the new financial year, it is time to position you for the next financial period. ) Send your contribution to this co-lumn, of no more than 500 words, to jabulani.dlamini@volksblad.com.
Proteas loss a ‘bitter pill’ } Lerato Malekutu
THE Proteas captain, AB de Villiers, has admitted that his side was outplayed by a spirited Indian outfit, a defeat he feels is a bitter pill to swallow early on in the competition. “It’s a big knock for us to get beaten by 130 runs. It’s almost embarrassing. You never want to lose by that number of runs. You always want to be a competitive team and feel like you are in the game. “We pride ourselves on that and
it didn’t happen today,” De Villiers said after the match on Sunday (22/02). De Villiers emphasised the key role the coaching staff and senior players would play in helping the squad to refocus ahead of their “must-win” match against the West Indies in the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on Friday (27/02). “We are going to have to lick our wounds – your confidence takes a knock with performances like that and it’s up to the senior group of players to make sure that the confidence is up there,
come Friday against the West Indies. “Little things like today’s (Sunday 22/02) performance can creep into your game if you start thinking about it too much and allow it to knock your confidence. There are a few things that need to happen. “Obviously after a loss like that you want to recover and to regroup as a unit. “We will put all of our focus on Friday, it’s a big must-win match for us in Sydney,” concluded the captain.

Care sown, joy reaped BETHLEHEM. – The New Horizon College (NHC) in Bethlehem hosted its annual Harvest Festival on Friday (20/02). This is an initiative of the NHC to collect food, clothes, blankets and other necessities in order to give to those in need in the community. The NHC believes that, “we make a living by what we get, but also we make a life by what we give”. The learners and the staff collected non-perishable food to give to an organisation in need. Danelene Meyer, the college principal, said they decided to support Child Welfare because children are the future. “This year we thank Pick n Pay in the Dihlabeng Mall for their huge contribution, as well as everyone in the school who gave so heartily and filled up the stage with donations,” Meyer said. Deon Erwee of Child and Family Welfare shared the needs in Bethlehem with the college management. He informed them about nine homeless children in Bethlehem, whose ages range from seven to 17. Erwee urged people not to give food, blankets or money when approached by these children. If they get what they need off the street, they do not see the need to go to the shelter, Tshepong Ya Rona, where they are supplied with warm water, food, blankets and are cared for.

RAHMAN’S 1-DAY SPECIAL PRAYER “CHANGED OUR LIVES”
After 4 years searching for a right man, N. Marelette is so happy that she recently married a caring husband just 2 months after Rahman had prayed for her.
2 Weeks after attending Rahman's special prayer meeting in Sasolburg, I Mrs. W.S. Jantjies successfully got my first job promotion at work. I had spent 5 years apllying for a job promotion at work.
Mr. S. Hendrik and his wife bought this lovely Vereeniging house, 3 months after attending Rahman's 1 day special prayer.
Mrs. J.F. Langeveldt (Vanderbijlpark):
I meet this powerful man Rahman on a TV program.
Before I had suffered for years and I tried many people for help but all failed. I cound not believe it when he showed me my enemies in form of a dream and whatever they were doing to pull me down. Every single detail he showed me about my enemies was so true.
Rahman accurately read my fortune and told me all my problems without me speaking a single word to him. Within 6 days after his prayers, my husband left his girlfriend and came back to me plus my enemies approached me and confessed the bad things they did to me. Rahman also gave me a special ring to fix my financial problems, and a love crystal that made people at home and at work like me, listen to me and do for me whatever I wanted from them without asking me any questions. Even though others have failed to deliver to your expectations, this may be your last chance to
breakthrough no matter what problem you're facing. Consultation Fee: R100 Tel. 051 421 9000 • Cell: 083 493 2383 • Fichardtpark (opposite Checkers Hyper) X1PRGED1-BN200215

Load shedding affecting water supply QWAQWA. – The task of supplying South Africa with electricity is becoming more and more challenging and, therefore, Eskom has implemented a load shedding programme. According to a press release by Maluti-a-Phofung Water, the
implementation of the load shedding has affected its operation negatively, as during the black-out sessions it is unable to supply water to consumers. The current warm weather and high water demand have also added to the list of challenges,
because now the demand is higher than supply. During the power interruptions, the water treatment plants are shut off and no water is distributed to the storage reservoirs. The water in the reservoirs is consumed until the levels are very
low, and as a result reservoirs dry up quicker. As soon as the electricity supply is restored, it is a challenge to normalise the water situation, as reservoirs take time to gain satisfactory levels. However, water tankers are
assigned daily to the main affected areas to minimise this challenge. With this in mind, Maluti-aPhofung Water humbly requests that communities minimise their daily water usage to be able to save as much water as possible.

Maluti knocks out Warriors } Tladi Moloi
PHUTHADITJHABA. – Jonny “Raps” Mafereka, the Maluti FET College FC mentor, wants to play in the final of the Nedbank Cup. This follows his outfit narrowly beating their achrivals African Warriors 2-1 in the last-32 leg of the Nedbank Cup. The encounter took place in the Charles Mopeli Stadium on Sunday (22/02). Regardless of his team being at the bottom of the National First Division (NFD), Mafereka is dreaming big. He believes that they will be able to cope with the league and cup games. “We are quite aware of our position in the league. We know what we want and surely the league is a priority,” Mafereka says. “However, I have many players who can do the job for the team both in the league and the cup competition.” Mafereka says they only had two regular players in this cup challenge, while others were given a chance to rest for the next league encounter. “I am happy the boys’ game went according to plan. We knew what to expect from Warriors X that is why they never had a chance to play in the first stanza. “They came back strong in the second half, but we managed to contain them.” He says he will be happy to play one of the big three – Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs or Mamelodi Sundowns – in the next round of the competition. “It is 11 against 11 in football. We don’t fear any team. If we are to play those teams, we will prepare for them and hope for a win,” Mafereka concludes. Morena Ramorebudi, the Warriors’ head coach, says he is disappointed that they could not use the chances they had created during the game. He says the score of 2-1 is not a true reflection of the game. “We could have won the game by 7-2, if not more. They only had two chances throughout the game. However, they deserved to win and I am happy for them,” Ramorebudi says. Ramorebudi is adamant that his outfit will survive relegation and adds that winning two or three games in a row might lift them to the top eight. “A wise man would say it was a blessing in disguise that we were knocked out of the competition so that we can focus on the league. But we honestly did not want to go out of the tournament so early X especially being knocked out by Maluti,” he says. ) Do you think Maluti can reach the final of the Nedbank Cup competition?

Injury benches yet another Stars keeper } Tladi Moloi BETHLEHEM. – The Free State Stars have suffered yet another blow after their goalkeeper, Glenn Verbauwhede, sustained a knee injury at the training session. He will be out for selection for a period of two weeks. Stars have been very unfortunate with the goalkeepers’ injuries this season. Dauoda Diakite also injured his knee in a game against Kaizer Chiefs at the Charles Mopeli Stadium in Qwaqwa. Verbauwhede has been in fine form helping the Stars defence to concede fewer goals in the last few games. He joined Ea Lla Koto last year on loan from Mamelodi Sundowns. Ayanda Mtshali and Johnny Mathole are the two keepers available for Stars. Rantsi Mokoena, the team’s general manager, said they were not happy with what had happened to the goalkeeper. However, he mentioned that there were other keepers that had been waiting for their chance. “I think it is their time to come between the sticks and shine. Verbauwhede has been doing well and I am confident that they can do well because they have been working together,” he said. Mokoena revealed that Diakite is back at training after a long injury. “He might be available for selection in our next league game.” He said he was happy with the team performance and pointed out that they had been doing better than some other teams. Stars are sitting on position 13 on the log table with 20 points in 19 league games. They are, however, not safe from the relegation zone, as they are just 11 points away from Amazulu who are rooted at the bottom of the table. “We have started the second round in fine form. We played two games and have managed to collect two points. We should have won the Tuks game, but luck was not on our side. We should work more on scoring goals because that is how you win the game,” Mokoena said. Free State Stars’ next league game is away to Maritzburg United at the Harry Gwala Stadium on Saturday (28/02) at 20:15.

We want to find and give recognition to learners at either primary or high school level who excel in sport or who are helping others to be more active. The SuperSport Let’s Play Sports Star of the Month is a competition for anyone aged six to 18.
You can nominate yourself or be nominated by a friend or teacher, lecturer or coach at your school or place of education. The winner is chosen from all the nominations received for that month. The monthly winner will receive a Let’s Play hamper filled with goodies. From all the entries received each month, one player will be chosen as the SuperSport Let’s Play Sports Star of the Month. At the end of the year, one player from all the monthly winners will be chosen as the SuperSport Let’s Play Sports Star of the Year. Your nomination must include your name, age and a short paragraph (less than 200 words) on what you have achieved, as well as your contact details. You can email your nomination to supersport@zpr.co.za or send a fax to 086-552-4922.

PRETORIA. – Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane believes that his team can still win the League, but that Kaizer Chiefs still have the advantage. This is after watching Chiefs drop three points against SuperSport United in Polokwane on the night of Wednesday (18/02) in their first League defeat since 9 April last year. Sundowns are currently trailing Chiefs by 13 points, but have two games in hand and can close the gap to seven points should they win those. Mosimane believes there is still a long way to go and his team stands a good chance to retain the Absa Premiership title. “I told you that I have seen this movie before,” says Mosimane. “I don’t know how it is

Chiefs can lose two games and still smile. They are in a comfortable position. They took themselves into a very good position where they can lose and still smile. “Two games in hand doesn’t mean anything. You must win them and start to talk. At this point in time one would be happier to be Chiefs coach than Sundowns’ coach. We are still chasing,” says the coach nicknamed Jingles. Amakhosi have only been beaten once in the League this season and are sitting at the top of the log with 47 points after 20 games. The Brazilians remain third with 34 points after 18 games. – KickOff.com
