THE Letsee family of Bloemfon-
teins Pieter Swartz phase 3 area
needs your help.
Although the family was
recently blessed with the birth of
a healthy set of triplets, their joy
is slowly being dimmed as they
struggle to feed the young ones
and maintain the family.
Sekoala Letsee (40), the babies
father, says they are very happy
but he is struggling to feed the
little ones as well as the rest of
the family.
The familys only source of
income is Sekoalas salary as a
general worker at a car dealership
in Church Street. He uses this to
support this family of eight.
Apart from the triplets, Sekoala
and his 36-year-old wife, Matshilo-
nyane, have an 18-year-old
daughter, Paballo, and a 10-year-
old daughter, Puleng.
The seven-year-old Thabang is
Matshilonyanes late sisters child
whom they adopted following his
mothers death.
The pregnant Paballo is a gr. 10
learner at Ikaelelo High School in
Rocklands while Thabang does not
attend school because his birth
documents are apparently not in
order.
We really want to ask your
readers for help, especially with
milk formula for the babies and of
course baby clothes, the soft-spo-
ken father says.
He said apart from his salary,
his pensioner mother also helps
where she can.
With Expresss visit, the two
boys and a girl, Thabo, Thabiso
and Mathabo, were sleeping
soundly. The cameras flash light
barely disturbed their peaceful
sleep.
My daughter Puleng was given
some gift packs at school which
included some clothes and these
have helped greatly. The social
worker has also come to our
rescue, he says.
Matshilonyane says she is not
able to breastfeed the babies
because of medical reasons.
Because they cannot afford milk
formula, they have been feeding
the babies tea. I do know what to
do as we are also still using a pit
toilet and with the babies waste I
fear their health is being compro-
mised, he said.
Another problem they face is
the insects biting the little ones at
night. The family is afraid to use
any insecticides because this
might be harmful to the babies.

R1,3 BILLION, this is how much the Free
State Department of Education is going to
overspend in the current financial year,
Stanley Malope, the departments head,
revealed last week.
He addressed the Standing Committee on
Public Accounts (Scopa) in the Free State
Legislature in Bloemfontein.
Malope could not provide the committee
with a clear plan on how the department
planned to cut costs to reduce the projected
over-expenditure and said the department
was under pressure to contain costs.
He said the additional R156 million given
to the department by the provincial Treasury
for its adjustment budget was not enough to
keep the department running until the end of
the financial year.
With 78% of the departments budget going
to employee compensation, Malope said from
next year the department would increase the
number of learners in a classroom to curb
costs.
However, no teachers will be laid off,
Malope assured the committee.
Meanwhile, the provinces Health Depart-
ment needs more than half a billion to keep
operations running until the end of the
current financial year, Benny Malakoane, the
departments MEC, said.
He said the additional R97 million bail-out
given to his department would barely cover
the needs of his department.
Malakoane revealed to committee members
that some of the infrastructure projects in his
department had come to a standstill because
of corruption.
Referring to the Boitumelo Hospital in
Welkom, Malakoane said several officials of
his department had apparently colluded with
contractors to get tenders from the depart-
ment.
Construction at the Boitumelo Hospital
came to a standstill recently after the
department had refused to pay contractors.
Well not make payments until the
department has been provided with all the
necessary documents, Malakoane said.

THE Free State Development Corporation
(FDC) says R20 million worth of unauthor-
ised transactions contributed to its R25 mil-
lion irregular expenditure in the 2012-13
financial year.
The FDC was accounting to the Public
Accounts Committee last week at the
Southern Life Plaza Building in Bloemfon-
tein.
FDCs board chairperson, Hantsi Mayeza,
said the transactions did not follow proper
treasury regulations prior to payments.
The transactions were not signed by the
board, which is one of the regulations
required to process transactions, Mayeza
told the committee.
The committee chairperson, Neels van
Rooyen, said the escalating irregular
expenditure which skyrocketed from
R2 million in the previous financial year to
R25 million was unacceptable.
The FDC is one of the entities governed by
the Department of Economic Development,
Tourism and Environmental Affairs (DE-
TEA).
According to Mayeza the department was
conducting investigations and said officials
found guilty of the transgressions would be
held accountable.
Although the FDC was congratulated by
the committee for improving, the DETEA
was hammered for poor accounting of the
departments assets.
DETEA head of department, Mohokare
Seleka, said the department was overseeing a
huge number of resorts and was struggling
to keep record of assets owned by the
department. Seleka said the department has
appointed a consultant to keep record of
assets owned by the department.
Van Rooyen lambasted the department for
failing to keep record of its assets although
the department had the least number of
resources under its belt compared to other
provinces.
You do not need a consultant to count
your assets, this can be done by your junior
staff, Van Rooyen added.
The auditor-general told the committee
irregular supply chain processes in the
department was the main cause of the hefty
irregular expenditure.
Committee gives
FDC a slap on wrist

THE Free State has the highest unemploy-
ment rate in the country.
Elzabe Rockman, Treasury MEC, re-
vealed this shocking fact as she tabled her
2013-14 adjustment budget at the Free
State Legislature last week.
Most worrying to Rockman was the 39%
unemployment rate which had steadily
increased in recent years.
According to the Financial and Fiscal
Commission reports, the unemployment
rate in other provinces ranged around the
26% mark.
Rockman said declining production in
mining and agriculture were the biggest
contributors to the escalating unemploy-
ment rate in the province.
A bigger contribution from the
private sector is needed, Rockman
urged.
With only 33 000 jobs created in the
current financial year, treasury chief
financial officer, Godfrey Matlatsi, said
the province still had a 52 000 short-
fall to reduce the high unemployment
rate.
Rockman said government had priori-
tised entrepreneurship and the advance-
ment of small, medium and micro-sized
enterprises (SMMEs) as the catalyst to
achieving economic growth and develop-
ment.
Opposition parties are unconvinced the
Free State government is putting enough
effort into job creation.
Clean governments attract investors,
unfortunately, our province is riddled with
corruption and maladministration, said
Patricia Kopane, leader of the DA in the
Free State.
The province has the highest over-ex-
penditure in the country, standing at
R1 billion, Kopane added.
According to Kopane, government should
support small businesses and re-open firms
closed in the province to boost the econo-
my.
Almost 50% of people in the province
rely on grants, the youth is struggling to
get employment, Kopane said.
Cope provincial secretary, Mzwandile
Hleko, said government should revive both
the mining and agriculture sectors which
were the provinces strongholds.
The province cannot afford mismanage-
ment of funds whilst its people live below
the poverty line, he added.
While some departments are already
experiencing cash constraints, R126 mil-
lion has been made available in the
adjustment budget.

AFTER threatening the media with
prosecution for publishing photos of Pres.
Jacob Zumas resort-like home in Nkandla,
government has now made a semi-about-
turn and said there is nothing wrong with
publishing these photos.
Well, actually it is still illegal to publish
such pictures, but only if you zoom into the
security features because this will threaten
the safety of Number 1, government spin
doctors explained.
The sudden change of heart by the
authorities was brought about by the
backlash from the media with virtually
every newspaper worth its salt defiantly
publishing these photos.
The photos of the sprawling homestead
were accompanied by screaming headlines
such as The photos our government does
not want you to see and Look away now,
our government does not want you to see
this in almost all mainstream newspapers.
What the authorities did not bargain on
was the fact that, unlike Number 1 who
allegedly does not read enough of his own
governments documents, media people
actually read quite a lot.
One of the things we read is that while it
is true that you cannot just publish
anything you want when it comes to
national key-point installations, when there
is overwhelming public interest, this piece
of legislation is somewhat flexible.
This is so because parliament and the
Union Buildings are also national key-point
installations so pictures of Lindiwe Mazibu-
ko, red lipstick and all, at the opening of
parliament are illegal or images of the
inauguration of the state president at the
Union Buildings must not be broadcast.
Earlier this year, Express also published
a picture of the magnificent homestead in
KwaNxamala and we do so again today, not
as an act of defiance, but to say the already
underpressure South African taxpayer
deserves to know what his/her money is
being used for.
I wonder whether recent media revela-
tions, that it was Msholozis private
architect that worked on the house seem-
ingly with no trace of this project being put
out to tender or that one of the motivations
for some of the state-of-the-art security
features was that the area is prone to
earthquakes, necessitated this attempted
muzzling of the media by the state security
apparatus.
According to geologists, the area does
indeed get earthquakes once every 50 years
or so but these apparently barely put the
Richter scale to work.
The other reasons for the added security
features include the fact that the area is
prime rapist country, is prone to floods
and there is a threat of disease.
Zumas protectors, however, recently
dropped the ball and let a common conman
secure an appointment with the president,
putting his life in clear danger.
The conman, German illegal immigrant
Willi Breuer, even managed to pitch a
proposal to the Masilonyana Municipality
which after initially being enthusiastically
received by the council, eventually did not
materialize.
The question is where were the spooks
that must ensure they screen individuals to
ensure only those with credible back-
grounds get an audience with the presi-
dent?
In the event government changes its mind
again and does prosecute media houses for
publishing photos of Nkandla, as editor of
this publication I probably will serve time
in jail for transgressing the countrys laws.
I do hope, however, that in the jail cell
next to mine will be those responsible for
keeping the president safe and who seem-
ingly failed in their duties. We can then
have a nice long chat about how we let
down the president of this country, as well
as ordinary South Africans.
Is Zumas safety really
threatened by themedia?
My view

TEACHERS, the men and women shaping
tomorrows leaders, were rewarded for
their invaluable work by the Free State
Department of Education at an awards
ceremony held at the Philip Saunders
Resort outside Bloemfontein last Friday.
The Free State leg preceded this years
national awards ceremony to be held at a
venue yet to be announced.
A total of 50 teachers from across the
province received awards while South
Africa is still reeling from a wave of
fighting among learners, gang violence and
teacher intimidation.
Tate Makgoe, the Free State MEC for
Education, congratulated all the winners,
the top 10 and the 40 other deserving
teachers from all 5 education districts.
Dr Pulane Makate of the Mofulatshepe
Primary School in the Xhariep District
was named the provincial winner. He also
walked away with the prize of an all-ex-
penses paid weekend for two, including air
tickets and accommodation, in Cape Town.
Stanley Malope, the provincial Depart-
ment of Educations superintendent
general, said despite all the challenges
faced by this sector many teachers still
had a passion for the noble profession.
Graeme Bloch, education activist and
visiting adjunct professor at the Wits
School of Public and Development Manage-
ment, was also present.
It is nice, right and important to engage
with teachers. Yes, you are police, people,
gang-fighters, social workers, sports heroes
as well as teachers of academic subjects.
But you make the world go round. We all
remember a good teacher, the warm hug
and the call to achieve. So, here we are to
celebrate the work of teachers. It is right
and proper to say teachers are at the front
line of the new liberation struggle, said
Bloch.
He said the constant attention given by
the media to education had made it a
national priority and that the publics
concern was reaching desperation.
Bloch outlined the challenges that the
department needed to deal with including
a 30% pass rate, ill-disciplined children,
gangs in schools and school safety as well
the role of teachers and parents.
For example, targeting teachers is
mostly legitimate and speaks to the central
role of teachers.
I wish teachers would listen more and
unions were less influential. But the
answers are not easy and many teachers
try hard to do their jobs, they love their
kids, but often do not know how to
improve results, said Bloch.
Bloch outlined the importance of the role
played by all stakeholders in the countrys
education including by teachers, parents
and the public at large.

THE Clean & Green Free State Campaign
has decided to adopt the Happy Valley area
in Westdene, Bloemfontein, as a project to
be developed into an urban conservancy.
This nature area in the heart of Bloem-
fontein is highly polluted with the natural
environment evidently degenerating and
with a number of hobos and apparent
homeless and criminal people residing in
the bushes.
Although the area falls under the
jurisdiction of the Mangaung Metro
Municipality (MMM) nobody is seemingly
taking responsibility for the upkeep of
good order in the area.
In light of this, the campaign has decided
to adopt the Happy Valley area, which
stretches basically from the extension of
Albrecht Street on the western side,
eastwards over the hill and over the
extension of Brill Street in Happy Valley,
over the next hill up to the townhouses
served by Aliwal Street and including
Signal Hill.
As such this is a huge challenge to
tackle, but the idea is to offer assistance to
the MMM in rehabilitating the area to one
befitting a modern, progressive 21st
century city.
The Clean & Green Free State Campaign
is inviting anyone or any institution
interested in supporting the Happy Valley
project to join them.
The project also offers university
students and their lecturers innovative
potential for research and practical
experience.
For more information about the project,
call Tjaart van der Walt on 074-100-6808 or

THE new minimum wage for the
domestic worker sector is expected to
come into effect next month on 1
December. This followed an announce-
ment made last week Wednesday by
Minister of Labour Mildred Oliphant
that the minimum wage for the
workers in the domestic sector would
be increased as relief to workers in
the sector. In a statement issued, the
department said the adjustment was
part of an annual binding determina-
tion by the minister in terms of the
Basic Conditions of Employment Act
(BCEA).
As from 1 December 2013 to 30
November 2014, the minimum wages
for domestic workers who work more
than 27 hours per week will be as
follows:
Area A R9,63 hourly, R433,35 weekly
(for a 45-hour week) and R1 877,70
monthly (for a 45-hour week). Area B
R8,30 hourly, R373,50 weekly (for a
45-hour week) and R1 618,37 monthly
(for a 45-hour week).
The minimum wages for domestic
workers who work 27 hours per week
or less are as follows: Area A R11,27
hourly, R304,29 weekly (for a 27-hour
week) and R1 318,48 monthly (for a
27-hour week). Area B R9,80 hourly,
R264,60 weekly (for a 27-hour week
and R1 146,51 monthly (for a 27-hour
week.
Last years (2012) hourly rate for
Area A was R8, 95. The minimum rate
in Area A is calculated as minimum
wage for the past period plus consum-
er price index (CPI) + 1%.
While last years (2012) hourly rate
for Area B was R7,65, the minimum
rate in Area B is calculated as
minimum wage for the past period
plus consumer price index (CPI) + 2%.
In terms of the sectoral determina-
tion (SD), which governs the basic

THE Association of Independent Record
Companies (Airco) hosted a historical event
last week at the National Afrikaans
Literature Museum and Research Centre in
Bloemfontein.
The event, a breakfast meeting, was open
to all radio stations including community
radio stations, as well as the SABCs Lesedi
Fm, and many others.
The print media and a representative of
the Departement of Sport, Arts and Culture
attended the event. Airco says it strongly
believes that print media has a role to play
in the music industry.
Tshepo Nzimande, head of local content
and transformation at Airco, was the
keynote speaker.
Nzimande, with his former company Bula
Music, is widely known in gospel and
traditional music circles. He now owns his
own independent record label, ZuzMuzi
Music, and is doing very well with house-
hold names such as Lundi, Donny, Fikile
Samela Mlomo and Shwi Nomtekhala.
Nzimandes address highlighted several
critical issues affecting independent record
companies in South Africa.
The work of Airco and things like
profiling our musicians without creating
any controversy are not easy without the
media and radio stations. Why is it that
whenever government wants to talk to the
music industry, they always think only
about musicians and never about the record
companies? Those musicians are signed
under record companies. They are not
independent.
Nzimande says if you want to know more
about a retail shop, you do not speak to the
cashier but to the owners of that shop.
If government is serious about our
music, let them approach us as record
company owners, he says.
He says if the SABC needs to make any
changes in their programmes pertaining to
music they must talk to Airco not RISA.
He says RISA represents the major
recording companies and accuses them of
having exploited South African musicians
since the 1950s and they continue to do so
to the present day.
Today EMI is dying and our brothers
and sisters who used to work there are
unemployed. As we speak, all music that
was recorded by EMI and the royalties
thereof will go overseas.
He says Airco is the only music organisa-
tion which distributes music video royalties
to the rightful owners after the association
reached an agreement with the SABC on
music video royalties backdated from 2011.
He says the backdated amount was more
than R12 million and that all record
companies are receiving their music videos
royalties even in the Free State. He says
before the end of 2014 the Free State will
have a fully-functional Airco office.

in the Free State and director of Dandu-
za productions.

TWO youths of Thaba Nchu Youth have start-
ed a Christian magazine which they say they
aim to use to bring young people to God and
change them from living a wayward life and
start living for God.
Teboho Masakala (25) and Dimakatso
Monokoane (26) started The Christian Voice
magazine.
The pair says the idea for themagazine came
last year when they met and realised they had
similar ideas. They say since they started
working on the idea, there have been challeng-
es such as securing the start-up cash to get the
magazine started.
With no sponsorship coming forth, the two
eventually financed the idea themselves with-
out any sponsor.The first edition was pub-
lished in August with the help of Pastor Fran-
cis of the Christ Embassy Church, since then
there have been twomore editions for October
and November which they received no assist-
ance for.
We want to touch lives and bring as many
young people to God as possible. We have so
many young people who are not living for God
and see living forGod as something for old peo-
ple. They also say a Christianway of life is bor-
ing, Masakala said.
According to Monokoane, the magazine has
been received well with the demand currently
exceeding the supply while those who have
purchased it give it the thumbs up and say it
has changed their lives for the better.
The magazine accommodates all Christian
denominations found in Mangaung; we do not
give preference to one church. We welcome all
churches and want all churches to unite as we
are all one body of Christ, Monokoane said.
The magazine is online at www.thechris-
tianvoice.co.za or it can be bought at 29 Brand
Street, Nongos Fish and Chips next to Lel-
waleng in Thaba Nchu.
To buy a copy in Bloemfontein, call Masaka-
la on 078-124-5396 or Monokoane on 078-585-
3393. You can email Teboho@thechristian-

WITH the current condition of South
African roads, you can be sure of damage
to the wheel rims of your vehicle. Did you
know that you do not have to replace your
set of rims?
You can have Mag Repair Specialist
repair them for you to look as good as new.
So why pay thousands of rands when you
can have them repaired?
Starting at R75 per wheel (depending on
the damage on your rims) it would be a
bargain to repair rather than to replace
them.
Mag Repair Specialist specialises in the
following services: Mag rim repairs, steel
wheel repairs, (for vehicles, trucks, trac-
tors), mag spray painting, high speed
polishing, customised wheel widening,
two-tone wheel painting and aluminium
welding (sumps, aircon pipes and brackets).
Mag Repair Specialist also has new mag
rims and tyres, vehicle entertainment, DVD
players (front, headrest and roof mount),

FREE STATE CARE IN ACTION
began an afternoon study club in
2012 consisting of about 15
children. The idea behind this
initiative was that help and
support could be given to the
children in Ehrlich Park by
having a place where they could
go, where volunteers could help
them with their homework, as
well as keeping them busy and off
the streets.
Because these children dont
have a park or community hall in
the area, theyre mostly on the
street, which in itself is not only
potentially harmful to their safety,
but also to their livelihoods.
The study club also assists in
determining which children have
special educational needs. At the
study club, the children get
individual attention from volun-
teers which helps improve their
academic performance.
If children can improve their
education and finish school, they
also have a greater chance at
improving their circumstances,
and building a better future for
themselves.
Currently there is a lot of
Sotho-speaking children in the
study group and there is a real
need for a volunteer that can
speak and understand Sotho.
Seeing as that it is voluntary,
there wont be any compensation
except the satisfaction of making a
difference in a childs life and
his/her future.
Free State Care in Action was
founded in 1908 and is 105 years
old.
As a family-orientated organisa-
tion, there is a passion for
children and helping them achieve
their full potential. The project
reaches 7 395 people per year.
Foster care is also one of Free
State Care in Actions focus areas.
In the past year, 817 foster care
cases were handled by the
organisation.
Foster care refers to the
alternative placement of a child,
who cannot be cared for by their
parents. Services are then ren-
dered to the parents so that their
full potential can be developed
and achieved.
There is a big need for people
who would be willing to act as
foster care parents and so provid-
ing love, care and security for a
child who needs it.
For any further information,
please contact Mirinda van Tonder
on 051-447-1838.

DESPITE the vast progress that has been
made in advancing womens rights in recent
decades, violence against women and girls
persists in a wide range of forms.
The observance of 16 Days of Activism of
No Violence against Women and Children is
a reminder of the need to re-examine, in the
light of justice, the beliefs and practices that
contribute towards the oppression of women
and girls and that which perpetuate vio-
lence.
Gender-based violence is often a result of
giving priority, however subtly, to ones own
needs over the needs of another in a
relationship. This type of relationship, in
extreme forms and in an attempt to compel
the other to satisfy ones needs, can give rise
to manipulation, exploitation and violence.
Legal measures are vital, but not sufficient
to effect the change necessary to eradicate
discrimination and violence against women
considering that such violence is sustained
by long-standing, maladaptive patterns of
thinking and the way individuals relate to
one another within the family or society.
In search for solutions to eradicate
violence, our individual and collective
commitment, demanding action and account-
ability from the authorities on their commit-
ments, are all necessary. However, for any
programme of social change to be effective,
it needs to take into account that individuals
have a spiritual or moral dimension and
that this dimension shapes their understand-
ing of the purpose of life, their responsibili-
ties towards the family and the community.
In the Bah view, alongside critical
changes in the legal, political and economic
architecture slowly taking shape, the
development of individuals moral and
spiritual capabilities is an essential element
in the as yet elusive quest to prevent the
abuse of women and girls around the world
and our challenge, according to a state-
ment of the Bah International Community,
is to search out new strategies and adopt
fresh models that will encourage a healthier,
more cooperative society at all levels.
Ending such violence requires overcoming
gender prejudice and recognition of our
oneness. Recognition of the oneness of the
human race is the key to overcoming our
prejudices that frequently lead to discrimina-
tion and violence.
The principle of the oneness of human-
kind in the Bah view lies at the heart of
the exhortation that we should treat others
as we ourselves would wish to be treated. To
establish justice, peace and order in an
interdependent world, this principle must
guide all interactions, including those
between men and women.

MZWANDILE HLEKO, Cope spokesperson
in the Free State:
THE party is shocked by the misappropri-
ation of funds within ANC-governed munici-
palities. There is a need for political will to
implement proper planning and strategies.
The Tokologo Municipality recently
inaugurated its new mayor, Enoch Seakge,
with an expenditure of R510 463, an amount
that had not even been presented to council
for approval.
The new mayor definitely has a great
sense of personal grandeur if he believes
that it is justified to spend such an exuber-
ant amount on an inauguration in an area
which has more than its fair share of
problems.
In the adjustment budget speech by Elzabe
Rockman, the MEC for Finance, during the
legislature sitting, it became clear that there
had to be a clear political will to curb
misappropriation of funds due to skewed
priorities. The MEC needs support in
implementing and monitoring corrective
measures to curb wasteful and fruitless
expenditure as well as implementation of
consequences for wrong-doers from the
provincial government down to the munici-
palities. Free Staters need leaders who will
be honourable, accountable and incorrupti-
ble. Leaders that will put the needs of the
people before their own, who will bend over
backward to serve the people and to provide
a better living for them.

REV. THEUNIS BOTHA, Christian
Democratic Party leader:
THE medias challenge to the governments
ban on the publication of the Nkandla
photos could not have come at a better
time.
The International Day against Impunity is
celebrated annually on 23 November and the
ban was put down shortly before this day.
Many organisations promoting freedom of
expression participate in the IMEX project.
The IMEX project basically covers people
who have exposed corruption or other
wrongdoings.
They are then, however, prosecuted or
harassed by governments or institutions
with impunity. This is the only way any
explanation can be given for the ban on
Nkandla photos whilst other national key
points, such as parliament, are regularly
photographed. There are even live TV
broadcasts of the opening of parliament and
the State of the Nation Addresses.
Government is now clearly making a
mockery of the law in its efforts to cover
up.
}
PATRICIA KOPANE, Democratic
Alliance leader in the Free State:
THE Free State Department of Education is
currently in negotiations not to pay R47,5
million due in salary increases to clerks in
the Education Department. This is unfair.
Clerks take up a core function in the
delivery of services to our children. They
work long and hard hours.
The MEC for Finance, Elzabe Rockman,
has revealed during the provincial adjust-
ment budget proceedings that R99 million has
been made available for the re-grading of
clerks as directed by the National Depart-
ment of Public Service and Administration.
These funds were made available by the
National Treasury exclusively for this
purpose. Many of the clerks are young people
that are entirely dependent on this income
for their survival. We should reward people
who want to participate in educating our
children. The current approach is unfair.
Government employees in the higher pay
grades are assured bonuses, salary increases
and promotions. Yet employees at the lower
pay grades, like the clerks, are exploited and
left unrewarded. We will be asking questions
in the Free State Provincial Legislature to
determine what happened to the money
allocated for increasing the salaries of clerks,
and why the funds were not used for its
intended purpose. Clerks in government
departments deserve to have their salary
grades adjusted with everyone else. The
money has been made available exclusively
for this purpose. Rockman must clarify why
the funds are no longer available.

MPHO RAMAKATSA, the Economic
Freedom Fighters (EFF) national coordina-
tor, said the EFF is faced with a big task of
ushering in economic freedom in the life of
the people.
He said they could, however, not reach
this objective alone and would be needing
everyones help in achieving it.
He said the EFF and its leaders were not
coming to save people, but rather that
everyone should take responsibility and
become part of the process that would
change the economic conditions.
We cant claim that the organisation, its
fighters, members and leaders work alone if
we want to be in a position to guide the
people into economic freedom, he said.
Ramakatse said it was one of the reasons
why they should invite other stakeholders
throughout the country to the seminar.
He said this would assist the EFF in
understanding the conditions people faced
in different sectors of the economy.
We also want to hear from them how
they think the conditions can be changed
for the better and the role that they intend
on playing in insuring that the overall
objective of the EFF is achieved, he said.
He spoke during the EFF Professionals
Regional Assembly held at the Dutch
Reformed Church in Bethlehem on Sunday.
We invite professionals, religious groups
and business people.
We are involved in a revolution in which
we will usher in economic freedom for our
people. As politicians and leaders of this
organisation, we cant claim to be jacks of
all trade.
We need everybody to become part of the
process to become part of the revolution,
Ramakatsa said.
He said they acknowledged the fact that
there were other people and political
organisations which had played a role up to
this point.
After looking at the political programmes
of various political parties or formations in
our country, we felt that there were
vacuums and that those political parties
were failing to address critical issues that
needed to be attended to and addressed. We
acknowledge that with the leadership of
other political organisations, political
freedom was ushered in into the country
back in 1994. But we are saying it was not
enough.
We said we needed economic freedom in
South Africa.
He added that professionals, academics
and religious formations had played a major
role in ensuring that citizens had political
freedom in the country today.
We thank them for the critical role they
have played in bringing this.
But the question that we should ask
ourselves is have we delivered total freedom
or total emancipation of our people in the
country.
The answer is a big NO, he said.

THE importance of vegetable gardens
where communities are encouraged to
address poverty will be highlighted
through the Re Kgaba Ka Diratswana
Competition.
The project name means we pride
ourselves in vegetable gardens. Re Kgaba
Ka Diratswana is an initiative of the
Department of Agriculture and Rural
Development.
It is run across all the five districts in the
Free State Mangaung, Fezile Dabi, Lejwel-
eputswa, Thabo Mofutsanyana and Xhariep.
The competition will see judges select the
best projects and will culminate in the
provincial final next year February when
the seven category winners of the garden
initiative will be announced.
Judging to select the finalists begins today
in the tiny town of Jacobsdal in Xhariep
and it is expected to end on 13 December. In
the Goldfields and Northern Free State,
judging will be held at two towns, Kroon-
stad on 4 December and Virginia on 7
December.
The participants compete in the following
categories: best new and existing backyard
garden, best new and existing school garden,
best new and existing church or community
garden, best innovation to save water, best
innovation to recycle, best innovation for
natural pest and weed control and best
innovation to use natural compost.
The department has allocated a whopping
R300 000 for production input towards the
ambitious garden initiative of Re Kgaba Ka
Diratswana, which the department runs as
part of a food security project.
The competition is only for registered
participants of the project. Innovation by
the department has seen the introduction of
a digital strategy that comprises two main
components, an online mobi site and a
social media youth portal (Facebook and
Twitter). This is aimed at maximizing
contact with the youth.
The site outlines the project and its
benefits for the communities and how it
answers to the departments challenges and
goals.
According to the department, significant
strides have been made thus far. A total of
7 597 households, 58 schools, 52 churches
and 130 other community institutions
(pre-schools, disabled centres, old-age homes)
in 17 towns in the Free State have come on
board.
In addition, about 31 188 people are
reported to have benefitted from the garden
programme.
Ensuring sustainability in Re Kgaba Ka
Diratswana, the department has appointed
23 officials on a two-year contract to assist
with the implementation of the project in
the five districts.
The department has in addition appointed
town coordinators and five district coordina-
tors, overseeing the programme.
Project creates awareness

Stars have guns
ready for Chiefs
PAULOS MASEHE, the Free State Stars skipper, will be hoping to guide his team to a
victory against the Soweto giants of Kaizer Chiefs.

THE wounded Kaizer Chiefs is coming to
the Charles Mopeli Stadium in Qwaqwa on
Saturday to play Free State Stars again.
Kick-off is set for 15:30.
This time the two teams will fight for
three points in the Absa Premier League,
unlike before when they fought for a place
in the Telkom Knockout semi-final.
Amakhosi then won the game by 4-2 on
penalties after both teams drew 1-1 in 120
minutes of the game.
The Soweto Giants will be facing this
encounter with fresh wounds.
They were defeated in the Telkom
Knockout semi-finals on Saturday night.
The team suffered a 1-0 defeat at the
hands of Platinum Stars.
Stars had played their second final this
year after they had won the MTN 8
against Orlando Pirates in September.
Ea Lla Koto knows what to expect from
the ever-running Chiefs players.
They will surely continue with the good
form they displayed against Amazulu in
their previous league game in the Goble
Park Stadium on Sunday.
Poor finishing in front of goals saw the
boys in red and white sharing the spoils
in a game that they should have won
convincingly. Stars had to push after they
had conceded an early goal through
Ayanda Dlamini.
Their never-die attitude finally paid off
with just eight minutes remaining from
full time when the Amazulu skipper,
Carlington Nyadombo, handed Stars an
equaliser with a beautiful header from
Rubben Tebekane, just two metres from
the centre line.
Steve Komphela, the team mentor, said
they know that Chiefs would come with
guns blazing and added that they were up
for the challenge.
He said the last time they played Chiefs
they had lost on penalties after they had
conceded a late goal.
They lost their last game and I am sure
that they would not like to lose two games
in a row.
We should have won the game in our
last contest against them, but we conceded
a late goal and lost on penalties. We will
go again, he said.
Komphela said they had to start winning
their home games if they wanted to stay at
the top of the log.
The Bethlehem-based team is at the 9th
position on the log with 12 points after 10
games while Chiefs is placed in 6th
position with 15 points in 9 games.

THE preliminary Nedbank draw for the
National First Division sides has separated
the two Free State rivals Maluti FET and
African Warriors.
Conducted on Monday, the draw, however,
saw both teams drawn to play in their
backyard the Charles Mopeli Stadium in
Qwaqwa.
Last year the two teams faced off in the
last-16 leg of the tournament with Warriors
victorious over Maluti after a penalty
shootout. Malutis historic run in the
tournament was the 4-1 demolition of former
champions Orlando Pirates in the last-32 leg.
Maluti have been paired against struggling
opponents Thanda Royal Zulu with Warriors
drawn to meet Vasco Da Gama.
All the qualifying matches are set to be
played on 11 December. The match between
Maluti and Thanda is likely to be resched-
uled given it will clash with the match
between Warriors and Vasco. However,
Warriors have been given the green light to
play first ahead of home rivals Maluti.

BLOEMFONTEIN CELTIC will be seeking
their second win of the season in the
supercharged Absa Premiership clash
against in-form Orlando Pirates on Satur-
day. They will face off in the Orlando
Stadium at 20:00.
The two giants are not miles apart on
the log table with the hosts, Pirates, rock
bottom on 4 points and Celtic are 12th on
10 points after 10 league matches. Only six
points separate them.
Celtics new mentor, Ernst Middendorp,
appointed to head coach early last month,
is yet to record a first win while the team
is desperate for their second win of the
season.
Phunya Seleseles sole win was 3-2 over
rookies Polokwane City in August and was
under departed coach Clinton Larsen,
whose side Maritzburg United also stole a
point from Celtic. The two sides played to
a goalless stalemate. Pressure is mounting
on Middendorp to live up to expectations
and turn around the fortunes of Phunya
Selesele. Celtic are desperate to end the
winless streak. Although a share of the
spoils will be acceptable, a win will be
ideal to end the poor run. The coach has
seen his side collect 4 points from a
possible 12 points in 4 league matches.
Saturday nights clash against rampant
Bucs will test Middendorps coaching
ability in plotting a win that will be
significant for his team to ascend the log
ladder. Middendorp has played four
matches without a win since being appoint-
ed to the hot seat earlier last month. He
shared the spoils in his first match against
improving Moroka Swallows, drawing 2-2.
Other draws of 1-1 score-lines were against
SuperSport United and AmaZulu.
How well Middendorp has fine-tuned his
team during the two-week break, will have
to be displayed. Celtic are facing the threat
to descend to the bottom of the log follow-
ing their recent dismal run.
