FREE STATE premier Ace Ma-

gashule giveth andhe taketh away.

Ten days ago, Magashule told con-

gregants of the Tyrannus Apostolic

Church one of the countrys big-

gest that they now owned land

in Bethlehem.

Magashule was speaking to a

packed Botshabelo Stadium during

a church service.

The church has been trying to se-

cure the Wolhuterskop Nature Re-

serve in Bethlehem as a permanent

home and has already been given

permission by the Dihlabeng Muni-

cipality to use this site for services.

Magashules rapturously re-

ceived statement which Expresss

parent paper Volksblad wit-

nessed last Sunday suggest-

ed the churchs battle was at an end.

But now he has backtracked, tell-

ing sister publication City Press

over the weekend that he was mere-

ly announcing the arrange-

ment that allowed the church to

use the reserve for its services.

Magashule said: They have been

requesting to use the land. I was told

that, in my absence, there is a

process to let them use it while we

are looking at whether it is possible

to finally give them the land as a

church.

There isnt anything tangible

that has been signed. There will be

further discussions among all

spheres of government. They dont

want it for free. I dont understand

what the big fuss is about.

He said part of the land was

municipal and the rest was owned

by the Department of Public Works.

All the time people make diffe-

rent requests. We also assist them.

This church deals with issues of

womenabuse andpoverty.Weare in

partnership with not only them but

the Zion Christian Church, the

Muslims and the Methodists.

He confirmed making the

announcement last Sunday, but

said: I simply announced the ar-

rangement. We havent signed any-

thing.Any landdisposal has to come

to me as premier.

Dihlabeng Mayor Tjhetane Mofo-

keng said he was not aware of any

ownership deal with the Tyrannus

Apostolic Church.

I can neither confirm nor deny

whether the municipality has sold

the land to the church, said Mofo-

keng.

I didnt attend the church event

(last Sunday).

Magashule, a number of Free

State MECs and Public Enterprises

Minister Malusi Gigaba were

among those who attended the

event, which formed part of the

churchs three-day youth confer-

ence.

Magashule, Lesotho Prime Minis-

ter Tom Thabane and the churchs

leader, Apostle Simon Mokoena,

were seated on gold-encrusted

chairs on the stage.

After the sermons, fireworkswere

set off from the stage.

Magashule used his time at the

podium for a spot of politicking as

well as landmatters he encouraged

the congregation to vote ANC in

next years national election.

Mokoena, clad in a blue and gold

suit, thanked Magashule for his

sterling leadership and support of

the church.

New system introduced

}

Lesego Ditheko

A NEW parking system is

now in operation in Bloem-

fonteins central business

district.

Announced by Mangaung

metro mayor Thabo Manyo-

ni on 24 July, the systems

brightly coloured parking

marshals have already

started working at the

beginning of this month.

Manyoni said he expected

the system to assist the city

in reducing crime and theft

from parked vehicles and to

eliminate informal parking

attendants who often

harassed motorists.

An added benefit, Manyo-

ni said, was the expected

increase in free traffic flow

in the CBD.

Galebotsa Seekoei and

Tebogo Mphatseng are two

such marshals who operate

in Charlotte Maxeke and St

Andrew Street.

The pair told Express that

before the new system had

been introduced, they had

already spent 13 years

working as parking mar-

shals in the Bloemfontein

CBD.

At times over the years

we would make just enough

in a day for the taxi ride

home, Mphatseng said.

He said given the fact that

they would now be receiving

a salary, they foresaw their

lives changing for the better.

When it comes to

motorists, some are coopera-

tive, while some display a

negative attitude towards us.

Well now be getting

salaries at the end of the

month and thus will be able

to provide for our families,

Galebotsa said.

Mphatseng said he was

excited to be one of the

people who had been

recognised by the municipal-

ity after doing what he had

loved to do for over a

decade.

Im excited because now

not only will I be officially

working for the municipali-

ty, but Ill also be able to

put food on the table for my

family, Mphatseng said.

Motorist Molehe Mosala

said he would cooperate

with the marshals.

The system is working. It

looks professional and I

believe my car will be safer

compared to before the

system was introduced, as

the previous marshals used

to break into our cars and

nobody could be held

accountable, Molehe told

Express.

When a motorist parks

their vehicle, the licence

plate will be scanned and

when the motorist leaves, it

will be scanned again and

will automatically count the

time.

Motorists can insist on a

receipt.

Qondile Khedama,

spokesperson for the

Mangaung Metro, advised

motorists to adhere to the

new traffic regulations in

the city.

)According to the munici-

pality the system is due to

be rolled out to Botshabelo

and Thaba Nchu soon.

PACOFS, in collaboration with the Market

Theatre, brings the celebrated production

Woza Albert! to the Andr Huguenet

Theatre from 20 to 24 August as part of

the Market Theatres country-wide tour of

regional venues, thanks to the Department

of Arts and Cultures Mzanzi Golden

Economy funding.

I am delighted that the department has

made it possible for the Market Theatre to

tour this amazing production. This is

reminiscent of an era in which produc-

tions were staged in church halls, school

halls and community centres and it allows

communities to engage with theatre in

their spaces, Annabell Lebethe, CEO of

the Market Theatre Foundation, told

Express.

Woza Albert! is one of the plays for

which South African theatre is best known

internationally.

Its physical style of storytelling is to

inspire and influence theatre companies

around the world, and it is one of the best

examples that define South African theatre

in all its vibrancy, innovation and human-

ity, Lethebe said.

This celebrated and much-loved South

African classic asks what would happen if

Jesus Christ (Morena) came back to South

Africa during apartheid.

This lively satire of the absurdities of

apartheid provides a showcase for the

talents of two dexterous actors, who play a

range of ordinary characters on the

street, she explained.

Written by Percy Mtwa, Mbongeni

Ngema and Barney Simon, the first part of

the play sets the scene, attacking the pass

laws that prevented black South Africans

from moving and working freely.

Similarly, it sketches in a few short

minutes the semi-slavery that was imposed

on manual workers by bosses who could

fire them if they got too independent.

The second half of the play becomes

considerably darker and more resonant.

Now Jesus is in the country and his life is

replayed in the apartheid context.

He is first welcomed then imprisoned.

When he is taken to Robben Island, his

escape is easy as He walks back across the

bay to Cape Town.

This retelling of a familiar story in a

new context becomes devastating by the

end, shedding light on both the Bible and

apartheid South Africa.

Cast members of the play are well-

known Mncedisi Baldwin Shabangu and

Peter Mashigo.

The show is a must-attend to all theatre

lovers as it is very educational. It is

directed by Prince Lamla.

Bookings are made through Pacofs.

Tickets range between R30 (pensioners and

learners) and R60.

TODAY is D-day and marks exactly two

weeks since angry parents of learners of

the Tjhebelopele Combined School in

Phase 6, Bloemfontein, had threatened to

keep their children from school unless the

principal was removed permanently.

The parents gave the principal, Charlton

Sondiyazi, a fortnight to leave the school

after they had staged a protest at the

school.

Police were called to the scene and the

parents dispersed peacefully.

At the beginning of the year Express

published a story about Sondiyazi who had

been accused by some teachers, parents

and school governing body members of

running the school in a dictatorial manner.

Although an investigation was launched

into the matter after the story had first

been published in February, the depart-

ment told Express on Monday that the

investigation had not been concluded yet.

One of the parents Express spoke to on

the scene said it was not only the parents

who disliked the principal, but the learn-

ers too.

My daughter is in gr. R and already she

hates the principal because he swears at

them, said the mother who wished to

remain anonymous for fear of her child

being victimised.

According to the parents, when they

requested to have a meeting with Sondiya-

zi, he had told them to leave his school

premises because his school yard was not

Hoffman Square in the Bloemfontein CBD.

We dont want Sondiyazi here. He said

he would bewitch us as parents and our

kids by throwing lightening at us. He must

go or well take our kids out of this

school, Ditsietsi Botsane, one of the

parents, said.

Angry parents also told Express the

principal demanded R2 every Friday from

the children irrespective of whether they

(the parents) worked or not.

We dont even know what the R2 is for

because the classrooms are dirty, another

parent said.

When asked when last a parents

meeting was held at the school, the

parents told Express that no parents

meetings had been held after Sondiyazi

had become principal.

They also said they had thus far only

received their childrens March school

reports.

Howard Ndaba, Free State Education

Department spokesperson, said learners

had received their reports late because of

a faulty computer system. It had taken

longer than anticipated to reboot the

system and reload the learners informa-

tion.

The department can confirm the

principal, Sondiyazi, has been cross-trans-

ferred with a principal of the Nzame

Primary School, Ndaba said.

Asked about the saga at a different

event, Tate Makgoe, Free State Education

MEC, advised the parents to write a letter

to him directly detailing the situation.

Makgoe said he had not been aware of

the situation.

DESPITE visible improvements in

the last few decades to ensure equal

education and other rights for the

girl-child, various forms of discrimi-

nation against girls still persist.

Currently over 120 million

children do not have access to basic

education. Of these approximately

60% are girls. By age 18, girls would

have received an average of 4,4 years

less education than boys.

Development and education of

every child, their personality,

talents,mental andphysical abilities

and spiritual qualities to their fullest

potential, is the right of every child.

Education of girls is not only a

human right. It is also in the best

interests of society as a whole.

According to a statement from the

Universal House of Justice, the

governing council of the Bah in-

ternational community: The cause

of universal education . . . deserves

the utmost support that the govern-

ments of the world can lend it. For

ignorance is indisputably the princi-

pal reason for the decline and fall of

peoples and the perpetuation of

prejudice. No nation can achieve

success unless education is accorded

all its citizens.

The decision-making agencies in-

volved would do well to consider

giving first priority to the education

of women and girls, since it is

through educated mothers that the

benefits of knowledge can be most

effectively and rapidly diffused

throughout society.

As girls andboys are equal in intel-

lectual capacity and in potential to

serve humanity, girls and boys

should study the same curriculum.

The way should be open for women

and girls to enter all spheres of hu-

man endeavour, including the arts

and sciences, agriculture, com-

merce, industry and the affairs of

state. There is no natural limit on

womens abilities.

Girlsmust be educated spiritually,

emotionally and intellectually be-

cause a mother cannot pass on what

she does not have. A child needs a

nurturing environment and wise

guidance particularly in the first

years of life in order to develop

sound character and a well-trained

mind.

As the Bah Writings state: If

themother is educated then her chil-

dren will be well taught. When the

mother is wise, then will the chil-

dren be led into the path of wisdom.

If the mother be religious she will

show her children how they should

love God.

If the mother is moral she guides

her little ones into the ways of up-

rightness. Divine justice demands

that the rights of both sexes should

be equally respected since neither is

superior to the other in the eyes of

heaven. Dignity before God depends,

not on sex, but on purity and lumi-

nosity of heart.

Our challenge today is how to cre-

ate the conditions in which girls can

develop to their full potential. The

creation of such conditions will in-

volve not only deliberate attempts to

change in various structures of soci-

ety, but, equally important, in the

transformation of individuals

THE first major steps towards a paperless

lecture environment for the School of Medi-

cine at the University of the Free State (UFS)

was launched last month with the presenta-

tion of laptops to all first-year medical stu-

dents.

The aim is to have the entire undergradu-

ate Medical programme computer-driven

within a few years and to get rid of paper in

the classroom.

Prof. Pieter Nel, programme director:

Health Sciences at the school in the Faculty

of Health Sciences, said: As far as we know,

this action is the first of its kind in anymedi-

cal school in South Africa whereby an entire

class are supplied with computers for this

purpose.

We also have no knowledge of anything

similar in any programme within any

other faculty at any university in South

Africa.

All first-year medical students received

laptops.

The UFS is facilitating the process to pro-

vide students with computer access via their

own laptops.

The reason for this is that theundergradu-

ate health sciences programme will be com-

pletely computerised from now on. Students

will therefore utilise their laptops in all their

contact sessions.

The entire building where teaching takes

place is equipped with Wi-Fi. The students

buy the laptops at amuch lower cost than the

commercial price.

Nel said the printing costs of study materi-

al during a students undergraduate study

years could amount to as much as R5 000.

In future, first-year students will receive

laptops, computerising the entire undergrad-

uate health sciences programmewithin a few

years, Nel said.

During thepresentationof the first laptops,

Prof. Gert van Zyl, dean of the Faculty of

Health Sciences, referred to this action as

a big step forward in modernising the un-

dergraduate training of medical students in

the faculty.

ADV. SEPHIRI MOSHODI, Free State CPF

chairperson:

AS the Free State Community Policing Fo-

rum (CPF) we wish to join Pres. Jacob Zuma,

the premier of the Free State and the entire

South African Police Service (SAPS) manage-

ment in condemning in the strongest terms the

scourge of crime happening in our communi-

ties.

The killing of vulnerable, defenceless elder-

ly people and women and children needs to be

dealtwith head-on andwe call upon all the peo-

ple of the Free State to heed the clarion call

by the premier Ace Magashule and Butana

Khompela, MEC for Police, Roads and Trans-

port, in exposing these ruthless criminal ele-

ments that are hell bent onhijacking our town-

ships and streets through the victimisation of

innocent communities.

The emergence of gangsters in areas such

as Botshabelo, Kutlwanong, Meloding and

Thaba Nchu cannot be left unchallenged.

The Free State CPF calls upon all our com-

munities to join CPF structures in their locali-

ties so as to make it difficult for criminals to

operate.

The recent merciless killings, rapes and

molestation of the elderly, women and chil-

dren must be confronted with themight that

displays a high level of public participation in

all CPF-related activities in the Free State.

The recently held Provincial Crime Preven-

tion Summit graced by Police Minister Nathi

Mthethwa and national police commissioner,

Gen. Riah Phiyega, as well as Magashule and

his entire cabinet, demonstrates the serious-

ness with which the government views crime

in our country.

The launching of the Provincial Crime Pre-

vention Strategy in the Free State by Ma-

gashule in July is a further indication of how

serious and determined the Free State govern-

ment is in tackling issues relating to crime in

the province.

Themere presence of bothMaggie Sotyu, the

deputy minister of Police, and Phiyega serves

as a further demonstration on the part of the

national government and its strategic stake-

holders that fighting crime in partnership is

the most viable strategy to eradicate crime in

our communities and neighbourhoods.

The Free State CPF therefore calls and ex-

tends a hand of invitation to all our traditional

leaders, church leaders and the business com-

munity to join government in the fight against

crime and also condemns the recent killing of

Teboho Kapoko at an initiation school in Kutl-

wanong, Odendaalsrus.

Those who wish to work for a safer, crime-

free environment in the Free State are urged

to visit their nearest police station to enquire

about CPF-related activities including its pro-

grammesand to obtain informationabout join-

ing the CPF.

THE Chevrolet Ute Force last week

announced its partnership with

Dreamfields, a soccer development

project focused on uplifting commu-

nities across South Africa.

As part of theirmarriage, the Inde-

structible Spirit Project was born

and it was officially launched at

Petrusburg and Botshabelo on

Tuesday and Thursday respectively.

Altogether 20 schools, 300 primary

school pupils in gr. 4 to 7 and 35

teachers will benefit from this

project inspired by the global One

World Futbol Campaign.

We believe that soccer is a team

sport and that teams build better

schools. Our dream is to provide

resources for playing soccer in town-

ships and rural schools across South

Africa, John Perlman, radio per-

sonality and Dreamfields founder,

said.

The AJC Jooste Combined School

in Petrusburg will be home to a 13-

school Intra Soccer League that will

see 160 boys and girls from the local

community participating in regular

training sessions and matches.

Further support will be provided

by an additional nine teachers being

part of a soccer coach training

course.

This training will enable them to

mentor and groom the young players

to become South Africas future

soccer champions and leaders.

The second leg of the project

included the support of the 8-school,

210-pupil Intra Soccer League man-

aged from the Phano Intermediate

School in Botshabelo.

It is essential that the project is

100% sustainable and supported by

the local community. The purpose of

the Chevrolet Ute Force initiative is

to lend assistance and build commu-

nities via youth focused projects

they are after all the future leaders,

soccer champions and change-mak-

ers of our country, Tim Hendon,

brand manager of Chevrolet SA,

said.

Perlman said he believed that

sport helped create better schools

and build stronger communities.

The schools that will be home to

the two leagues have principals who

are truly committed to providing a

nurturing environment for their pu-

pils to learn and play in spite of the

budgetary constraints they face,

reiterated Perlman. Meanwhile, the

budding sports stars from both

leagues were given access to donate

soccer kits such as soccer balls,

boots, clothing and training equip-

ment to their communities.
