    No one denied Jesus a mountain when he

    The churchs senior pastor, Apostle Simon

    Mokoena, told congregants who had flocked to

    the service that the Free State government had

    signed over the land to the church.

    Mokoena told congregants that a certain

    white partywas hindering the processes of al-

    lowing the church to purchase the land.

    Why would you vote for a party that wont

    give you this land, Mokoena questioned his

    congregants during the sermon.

    Mokoena urged congregants to vote for a par-

    ty that was for the church.

    In August, DA Free State legislature member

    RoyJankielsohnopened a case of fraudand con-

    spiracy to commit theft against Premier Ace

    Magashule.

    The case follows a promise made by Ma-

    gashule to hand over the title deed of the land

    to the church during a youth conference in

    Botshabelo in August. Zwane told Volksblad,

    parent paper of Express, he has instructed the

    a part of the game reserve being utilised by the

    THE Free State Government on Thursday

    held a farewell function for the outgoing

    Auditor General (AG), Terence Nombembe.

    The event was held at Emoya Estate in

    Bloemfontein and was attended by Ace

    Magashule, the premier of the Free State,

    and MECs Sisi Ntombela, Mamiki Qabathe,

    Butana Komphela as well as Msebenzi

    Zwane.

    Nombembes term comes to an end in

    November after serving in that office for a

    period of seven years. As the first black

    person to hold the AG position in the history

    of South Africa, Nombembe has been

    applauded for his sterling and professional

    performance.

    Speaking at the event, Magashule said: As

    the Free State Province, we have benefited

    from Nombembes visionary leadership. His

    skills and values have inculcated the culture

    of hard work and prudence amongst all

    government departments.

    It is that culture that has propelled us to

    organise government work and improve our

    general performance resulting in clean audit

    outcomes.

    We wish him all the best in his future

    endeavours. I hope that he will still use his

    skills to mentor the young people in areas

    such as chartered accounting, the premier

    said.

    During Nombembes term in office he

    managed to raise the profile of the AG to

    greater heights. His audit reports have been

    rated as very credible by various sectors in

    the country. He also contributed significantly

    in assisting government departments to treat

    internal audits as a strategic function to

    ensure that money was well spent.

    As the Auditor Generals Offices we have

    found each other after a long journey of trial

    and error. All we can do now is to under-

    stand that we can work together. We need to

    sustain our relationships, Nombembe said.

    We just need to lift our game and pace in

    which we do what needs to be done. One of

    those things that needs to be done is to

    strengthen those underlying pillars that will

    always produce information that all of us

    can be proud of, he added.

    Kimi Makwetu, the current deputy auditor

    general, is set to take over as the countrys

    AG from Nombembe at the end of next

    month.

    Meanwhile, at the same function the Office

    of the Premier, Department of Treasury and

    Arts, Culture, Sport and Recreation received

    awards for obtaining clean audits.

    The Office of the Premier received clean

    audits for two successive years: in 2010-11

    and 2011-12, while the Provincial Treasury

    received a clean audit for three consecutive

    years, the first in 2009-10, 2010-11 and then

    2011-12.

    AS the 2013 academic year rapidly draws to a

    close, many students and their parents should

    consider their financial planning for the com-

    ing year.

    Student loans open the doors to a good terti-

    ary education even when access to bursaries

    and funds are limited.

    Student loans are a sound investment in the

    future and a convenient way to pay for student

    fees, computers, books and accommodation.

    These loans are easily accessible providing the

    students parent or guardian earns more than

    R6 000/month and the application meets NCA

    criteria.

    A pre-requisite for an FNB Life Start Stu-

    dentLoan is proof of registration inanacadem-

    ic institution, says CEO of FNB Personal

    Loans, Pieter Du Toit.

    TheFNBstudent loanoffers a six-monthpay-

    ment holiday on the capital portion of loan

    from the date of graduation. Interest payments

    must be made from the date of taking the loan.

    For FNB customers, access to a Life Start

    Student Loan is easy and can be completed via

    Online Banking, a FNB branch or the call cen-

    tre. We require an ID book for the student and

    the guardian/parent and loan amounts start

    from R 4 000. Students can re-apply for addi-

    tional amounts at any time after the loan has

    been granted, adds Du Toit.

    The bank notes that demand for student

    loans increased by almost 5% last year, due

    largely to increased tuition fees and families

    placing a much greater emphasis on post-mat-

    ric qualifications. Loan values have also in-

    creased by more than 13%.

    A tertiary education is critical to your

    childs future employment and career opportu-

    nities. This is not limited to typical academic

    qualifications, but includes growing numbers

    of students seeking diplomas in high-demand

    areas suchas trade skills and specialist compu-

    ter skills.

    Very often these students and their families

    struggle to purchase laptop computers, spe-

    cialist equipment and books. Loans can be

    used for any student requirements, adds Du

    Toit.

    Study loans

    are vital

    JULIUS MALEMA, the Economic

    FreedomFighters (EFF) commander

    in chief, is adamant that his new po-

    litical party will be in government

    next year after the 2014 national elec-

    tions.

    Malema said that during an inter-

    view with Express Eastern Free State

    during his recent visit to Qwaqwa.

    When asked how many seats he was

    targeting in parliament Malema said

    they did not target seats because the

    EFF would be in government next

    year.

    Our benchmark is that we are the

    government inwaiting.We dont aim

    at seats. Those who aim at seats are

    the opposition.We are not the opposi-

    tion. Well be the government next

    year.We cant talk about seats.What-

    ever the number required to get gov-

    ernment, that is the number we are

    targeting.

    Malema said they wanted to be in

    powerbecause theANChad failed the

    people. He said it was time they

    changed the lives of South Africans.

    The longer you stay in power the

    more you adjust to wrong things. The

    ANC has overstayed its welcome. We

    are almost 20 years into our democra-

    cy, but many of you are unemployed

    and some have given up on getting

    jobs, he said.

    Malema said people should not vote

    for the DA because it was not a solu-

    tion. The DA is a white ANC and the

    ANC is a black DA. They are pushing

    for the same policy. They both built

    toilets without shelters. The DA in

    Cape Town and theANC did the same

    in Moqhaka. If the ANC was forced

    to go for a coalition government, the

    party would surely go for the DA.

    They will not go with the party that

    proposes that idea, they would prefer

    to be the ones to propose it to the DA.

    Why? They are all serving one mas-

    ter. Who is the master? The master is

    the white monopoly on capital, said

    the outspoken Malema.

    Malema said the EFF policy would

    not be found anywhere else because

    it included the redistribution of land

    without compensation, nationalisa-

    tion of mines, free, quality housing

    and education, anti-corruption, sani-

    tation, accountable government and

    leadership, industrialisation, invest-

    ment in the African economy and

    building state capacity in order to

    eradicate tenders because they out-

    sourced things that shouldbedoneby

    the state to the private sector.

    He said the youth had looked at

    their policies and realised that there

    was potential in the party. He said

    they also realised that their future

    could look better. Industrialisation,

    nationalisation and the country

    would create more jobs.

    We want land and mines. Land

    made the people who they are, if they

    did not have land, theywouldnt have

    had the best education and best facili-

    ties because they all came from the

    land. We are in this state because we

    dont have the land, he said.

    He said their leadership was genu-

    ine and it would liberate people from

    the state of poverty.

    The EFF does not pretend to be

    caring whereas everybody else is

    sleeping with white landowners for

    the means of production, he said.

    He said the ANC had brought

    shame to the people of South Africa

    and that was why they were walking

    like a defeated nation. He added that

    even 1994 had not brought glory to

    South Africans as they remained de-

    feated.

    Weare evenworse off than in 1994.

    At least before that year we knew we

    were defeated. When we say we want

    the land we want to restore your con-

    fidence. No one can tell you that you

    cannot have a farm. Children of Afri-

    kaners have inherited this stolen

    land.

    Most of them have not been to

    school. No one asks them how they

    willmaintaina farmwithout anyedu-

    cation.Whenwe say they should give

    the land back to the blacks they say

    they are not educated. But truth be

    told, black people are the ones work-

    ing there, he said.

    Anybody who is fighting with the

    Boers, they say that person is a prob-

    lem. They are saying there should be

    reconciliation and peace. What peace

    before we get what belongs to us?

    There will never be reconciliation

    and peace without justice. Justice

    must happen first. What is justice?

    What has been stolen from you must

    be returned, then you can forgive

    them.Thenwe can say to themwe for-

    give you. Well say to them: We dont

    want you to leave with nothing, take

    this portion. We are failing to do so

    because they are still holding on to

    what belongs to us.

    They should give us back the

    mines and farms.

    LAST month we celebrated the International

    Day of Peace and this month on 17 October we

    will be observing the International Day for the

    Eradication of Poverty.

    How does poverty link with peace?

    Obviously, we cannot achieve lasting peace

    on this planet without resolving the complex

    problems of social and economic development

    that are afflicting our societies.

    We cannot consider peace as a condition

    characterised simply by absence of conflict

    whenmillions of people die yearly fromstarva-

    tion, disease and poverty.

    Development strategies used currently,

    however sincerely conceivedandexecuted, are

    not achieving what they were intended for. In

    most of the world, the gap between rich and

    poor has widened.

    Social problems have not subsided. In fact,

    crime is not only increasing but it is becoming

    more difficult to combat.

    According to the Universal House of Justice

    (the governing council of the Bah interna-

    tional community), in a 1985 statement entitled

    the Promise of World Peace: The inordinate

    disparity between rich and poor, a source of

    acute suffering, keeps the world in a state of

    instability, virtually on the brink of war.

    Few societies have dealt effectively with

    this situation. The solution calls for the com-

    bined application of spiritual, moral and prac-

    tical approaches.

    A fresh look at the problem is required, en-

    tailing consultation with experts from a wide

    spectrum of disciplines and involving the peo-

    ple directly affected in the decisions that must

    urgently be made.

    The current concept of social and economic

    development, which has been basedmainly on

    a materialistic approach, has not been able to

    solve the problems for which it was intended.

    It has neither been capable of leading hu-

    manity to the tranquillity and prosperity

    which it seeks.

    This is to a great extent because the spiritual

    nature of humankind and the role of religion

    in influencing our attitudes and the spirit, in

    which we carry out everything, including our

    development projects, have been forgotten or

    ignored.

    No matter how far the material world ad-

    vances, the Bahai writings state, it cannot

    establish the happiness of mankind.

    Only when material and spiritual civiliza-

    tion are linked and coordinatedwill happiness

    be assured.

    And also that, successful development ef-

    forts require, above all, a spirit of cooperation

    and collaboration among the participants in

    the development process.

    The absence of such a spirit of common en-

    deavour up to the present time within local

    communities and nations as well as between

    countries constitutes in our view the main

    reason for the limited success and the persist-

    ence of gross economic inequalities.

    The required higher level of cooperation

    can only be motivated by a sincere apprecia-

    tion for the unity of all human beings.

    Only on such a basis can prejudices related

    to nation, race, religion, sex and other preju-

    dices that hinder determined and equitable de-

    velopment activities be eradicated.

    In order to cultivate an attitude of coopera-

    tion at all the levels of society, there is need

    for universal education in the concepts of the

    oneness of humanity and world citizenship.

    Besides, science and religion should be used

    both in order to come up with effective strate-

    gies and plans for the kind of development we

    are seeking.

    Religious and spiritual values should be

    viewed not as separate from real world con-

    cerns, but as vital sources of knowledge and

    motivation, as source of values, insight, and

    energy without which social cohesion and col-

    lective action are difficult, if not impossible, to

    achieve.

    TWENTY unemployed graduates

    from different institutions have

    come together to give back what

    they have learned and to assist

    needy children from around Blo-

    emfontein.

    Isaiah Lesoro, originally from

    Meqheleng in Ficksburg, together

    with other unemployed graduates

    from Bloemfontein, say they feel

    there should be a mediator be-

    tween the government and the

    needy.

    To achieve this, the group start-

    ed Freshly Young Minds, a non-

    profit organisation.

    During the last three years, the

    organisation with its 20 members

    has been a bridge between some

    poverty-stricken families in Man-

    gaung and the government.

    According to Lesoro, the gradu-

    ates from different fields met in

    2011 without any hope of finding

    employment and decided to estab-

    lish an organisation where they

    would use the skills they acquired

    from their tertiary institutions re-

    spectively for the good of the com-

    munity.

    They identified three schools,

    Mangaung Primary School, Legae

    Intermediate School and Kgabane

    Primary School. Out of those

    schools they identified 36 learners

    12 learners from each school

    who not only struggle financially

    but also had trouble at home.

    According to Lesoro, the CEO of

    the organisation, the members use

    their ownmoney to assist the iden-

    tified learners.

    He says he has personally spent

    about R11 800 since the organisa-

    tion started. Every month I spend

    R3 000 which is used for the learn-

    ers food and clothing.

    It is also used for the members

    travelling expenses including ad-

    ministration costs. This has putme

    in debt as I have multiple jobs to

    sustain not onlymyself but also the

    organisation, he says.

    Within the organisation, 10

    make up the management while

    the other 10 are board members.

    Lesoro says among the board

    members are professionals such as

    doctors, professors and teachers

    but added that these members do

    not assist the organisation finan-

    cially, but help with administra-

    tion, managing the finances and

    drafting learning programmes for

    the learners.

    This vibrant and compassionate

    leader volunteers at the NG

    ChurchWilgehof as a counsellor to

    domestic workers, as a field work-

    er at Batho Clinic and also works

    for sport channel SuperSport when

    they cover games in Bloemfontein.

    He says the organisation would

    gladly accept any assistance in

    finding new offices, office furni-

    ture and finances to help in remu-

    nerating the other members in the

    form of stipends.

    BLOEMFONTEIN CELTIC will be

    looking to redeem themselves when

    they take on Kaizer Chiefs in the Ma-

    cufe Cup on Sunday.

    Reigning champions Phunya Sele

    Sele, got hammered by 4-0 by ruthless

    Mamelodi Sundowns in an Absa Pre-

    miership match played in Botshabelo

    this past weekend the result that saw

    Clinton Larsens tenure as head coach

    of the club come to an abrupt end.

    The match between Celtic and

    Chiefs is expected to draw a capacity

    crowdat theFreeState Stadiumwhere

    both sides met in a league encounter

    recently.

    In Chiefs, Celtic come up against a

    side that has been such a mean ma-

    chine this season. Amakhosi will be

    keen to wrestle back a trophy they lost

    to Siwelele last year at the same venue

    as Celtic emerged 4-3 victors after full-

    time.

    We are happy to be part of Macufe

    once more. The spirit of celebrating

    cultural activities and the arts align

    well with Chiefs.

    Wewould like to be associatedwith

    arts and culture and as a growing foot-

    ball brand we are playing in the life-

    style space, andwe thinkMacufe is the

    right platform to be associated with. It

    is about brand positioning while en-

    tertaining the revellers at Macufe,

    Jessica Motaung, Kaizer Chiefs mar-

    keting director, told the clubs official

    website.

    Tickets for thematch costR30 (kids),

    R50 (open stand) andR60 (grand stand)

    at Computicket.

    Meanwhile, the Toyota Cheetahs

    will host the Blue Bulls in a must-win

    Currie Cup match at the Free State

    Stadium on Saturday.

    Naka Drotsks men have to collect

    maximumpoints to cement their place

    in the knockout stages of the competi-

    tion.

    Kick-off is at 17:05.

    ISHMAEL MOLETE, a KFC Mini-

    Cricket coach of the Mokitlane Pri-

    mary School in ThabaNchu, entered

    his KFC Mini-Cricket team into the

    KFC Mini-Cricket Kids vs Proteas

    Tour competition.

    He has won the opportunity to

    field his own team of young girls and

    boys toplay in the first of sevenexcit-

    ing tourmatches against the Proteas

    at the Mmabana Stadium in Thaba

    Nchu today.

    The event kicks off at midday.

    Launched in September with an

    exhibitionmatch atMonte Casino in

    Johannesburg, the KFC Mini-Crick-

    et Kids vs Proteas Tour provides the

    opportunity for kids around South

    Africa to play against their Proteas

    heroes.

    A KFC Mini-Cricket coach since

    2011, Molete heard about the compe-

    tition at a KFC Mini-Cricket semi-

    nar. Naturally, his school, likemany

    others, has never had the chance to

    play a sport against professionals, so

    the news of winning was met with

    both excitement and a fair amount of

    nerves.

    There are approximately 500 kids

    at the rural Mokitlane Primary

    School. There are no existing cricket

    fields at the school, soMolete and his

    young cricketers have to use the soc-

    cer and netball areas to play KFC

    Mini-Cricket.Most of the kids are in-

    terested in playing soccer, but

    Ishmael is slowly growing support

    for the game of cricket.

    I got involved with KFC Mini-

    Cricket after watching some kids

    playing the game in our community.

    They were doing everything wrong,

    so I decided if they wanted to play,

    they should at least know the rules

    of the game and be able to play it

    properly, said Molete on how he be-

    came a KFC Mini-Cricket coach.

    In becoming a KFC Mini-Cricket

    coach, he has brought structure to

    the sport at the school. His role as a

    coach is now to be intensified as he

    prepares his team to take on the Pro-

    teas.

    Before the preparations began, the

    cricketers went on a parade of the

    school to let everyoneknow that they

    are to take on the Proteas, ensuring

    that they rally up as much home

    ground support as they can.

    Lerato Maditle, Free State KFC

    Mini-Cricket coordinator, has pro-

    vided some extra support in bring-

    ing in a local professional, Clement

    Rachere, to train the kids ahead of

    their crucial match-up against the

    Proteas.

    Like all coaches getting ready for

    a big game, Ishmael has had to focus

    on what team selections he is going

    tomake.His teamwill consist of four

    boys and four girls, with two star

    players in particular carrying Mok-

    itlane Primarys hopes of beating the

    Proteas; Vuyo Kankalane and

    Unathi Khumalo.

    Vuyo is a hard worker who is al-

    ways at practice early, offering the

    teamstrength inboth thebattingand

    bowling department. Similarly,

    Unathi also possesses all-round tal-

    ent with both bat and ball, with her

    impressive academic background

    coming to the fore in match strategy

    and tactics.

    The challenge is set and Ryan

    McLaren, David Miller, Quinton de

    Kock, Mignon Du Preez, Marcia Let-

    soalo, Dane van Niekerk and Mari-

    zanne Kapp have to bring their A-

    games as the KFC Mini-Cricket kids

    are ready for them, and ready to get

    active in a match that will be an

    experience of a lifetime.

    Rufus Botha

    HTS LOUIS BOTHA has made the Free State

    proud by carrying the provinces flag sky high

    in the the Sanlam Kay Motsepe Cup Tourna-

    ment.

    Not onlydid theBloemfontein school compete

    in the popular u.19 soccer tournament, but they

    surprised friend and foe by going all the way to

    reach the final at the King Zwelithini Stadium

    in Umlazi, Durban.

    Although they went down 1-2 to a determined

    Clapham High School of Pretoria in the final,

    the school received a whopping R600 000 as run-

    ner-up, plus a further R100 000 for being the pro-

    vincial champions.

    Before Louis Botha could take on the best

    school teams in national finals in Durban, they

    first had to see off the best the Free State had

    on offer for this competition and they did that

    in style.

    They beat Dr. Cingo High 4-0, and then

    thrashed Lereng High 6-0 before they played

    the Northern Free State stronghold, Harmony.

    No lovewas lost in the lastmentionedmatchand

    by end of the match the scoreboard was un-

    touched.

    A penalty shootoutwas on the cards andLou-

    is Bothawon by 3-1 and off to the national finals

    in Durban it was.

    During the first day of the national finals,

    Louis Botha played twomatches. They defeated

    OkiepHigh 2-0 before being held 0-0 by sturborn

    Bennys High.

    The second day saw the Louis Botha strong-

    hold going into overdrive, beating East High 3-0

    and before sending Ndamase High to the can-

    vass with a 6-0 clout.

    Day three was a tough one. The Bloemfontein

    team heard the final whistle against Mondale

    High with the scoreboard still standing at 0-all.

    In a thrilling penalty shootout the Louis Botha

    gentlemen kept their cool and eventually won

    by 3-0 for a place in the semi-final, which they

    won 1-0 against Rosina Sedibane Sports School

    to qualify for the final.

    Norman Ngomba, team manager, said the

    standardof football at thenational finalswasex-

    ceptional.

    The regional and provincial level was what

    we are accustomed to, but what we saw at the

    national finals was completely different, it took

    us by surprise.

    Our toughest game was the final against

    Clapham. They were so tactical and organised.

    They playedwith a cool head and evenwhenwe

    shut down their star, Percy Tau, they did not

    seem to flinch, he said.

    Ngomba said they went into the tournament

    with the view of using it as a learning curve for

    next year.

    Our strategy was not to put pressure on the

    boys. And our result was way beyond what we

    expected. It sure was a learning curve and we

    learnt something different from every school.

    Forexample,Rosinawasa teamthatwasunited,

    they played simple football which worked for

    them, they play excellent one touch football.

    Modale High played a different style of play,

    they weremore tactical, which is how I want us

    to be; and Claphamhad everything, tactical and

    technical ability and experience. Their players

    belong to the Mamelodi Sundowns Academy

    and I believe they get a chance to play against

    the first team once a month, such experience is

    what we were competing against, Ngomba ex-

    plained.

    Ngomba further said that playing in front of

    Mamelodi Sundowns president, Patrice Mot-

    sepe, was something they will never forget.

    All the players admire him, and the work

    that he is doing, not just for football but also in

    the arts and culture as well as in business, he

    said.

    The down-to-earthmanwas also full of praise

    for Sanlam, the tournament sponsors.

    I hope they continue to sponsor the tourna-

    ment as theyhaveadded somuch to it since they

    came on board in 2010. It has grown into amuch

    sought after tournament. I now have insight in-

    to insuranceandamdefinitelygetting life insur-

    ance in the near future. Iwant tomake sure that

    if something happens to me, my family is well

    looked after.

    Ngoma has vowed to be back again next year,

    and he said they were already preparing the

    team.

    Meanwhile, Harmony High School of Virgin-

    ia ended in the fourth place and they received

    R400 000 for their efforts.
