    IN an effort to curb criminal activities in the

    Free State, the provincial government under

    the leadership of Premier Ace Magashule,

    launched a crime prevention strategy in

    Bloemfontein on Wednesday.

    This comprehensive strategy follows from

    the discussions held at the Provincial Crime

    Prevention Summit at the Philip Sanders Re-

    sort in the Free State capital in April and was

    approved by the provincial executive coun-

    cil.

    It is clear to all of us that the Free State

    provincial government is serious about ad-

    dressing the root causes of crime and other

    underlying contributory factors. The Free

    State is leading the way and I sincerely hope

    to see all other provinces doing the same,

    Riah Phiyega, national police commissioner,

    said at the launch in Phase 4.

    This initiative interlinks with the White

    Paper on Safety and Security and all otherma-

    jor strategies of government. These include

    the National Development Plan, the National

    Crime Prevention Strategy, the Drug Master

    Plan and the Social Crime Prevention Strate-

    gy.

    In order for us to prevent crime; all role

    players and stakeholdersmust work in a unit-

    ed fashion. Communities, business and civil

    society must come together and leverage on

    each others resources and capabilities, she

    said.

    By working together, we will create an en-

    vironment where the police can police. By

    that I mean, hunt down the criminals, re-

    spond to emergencies, protect members of the

    community and not be burdened with ad-

    dressing the underlying societal issues, she

    added.

    The commissioner also announced the

    launch of an internal anti-corruption unit to

    combat fraud and corruption within the

    South African Police Service (SAPS).

    If we are to successfully fight crime in the

    country, we must first get our house in order.

    Wemust fight crimewith cleanhands.Wewill

    therefore not shy away from taking action

    against our own.

    We will certainly do it with boldness, she

    said.

    Phiyega said some of the priority crimes re-

    ceiving attention countrywide included gen-

    der-based violence and sexual offences,

    murder and serious assault, drugs, illegal

    mining, burglary at residential and busi-

    ness premises, carjacking, as well as stock

    theft.

    Meanwhile, Magashule urged all the muni-

    cipalities to implement the newly-launched

    strategy.

    The Provincial Crime Prevention Strategy

    brings hope and life to this province. This ini-

    tiative is aimed at squeezing the provincial

    space for criminals.Wewant the police to con-

    tinue doing good work and arrest criminals,

    he said.

    Strategy aims to hit hard

    JULIUS MALEMA, the former African Na-

    tional Congress Youth League (ANCYL) lead-

    er, launched a political party called the Eco-

    nomic Freedom Fighters (EFF) at Constitu-

    tion Hill in Johannesburg last Thursday.

    Malema, who was expelled from the ANC

    last year, described his movements ideology

    as anti-capitalist.

    Our organisation is founded on the princi-

    ples of anti-corruption.We are a protestmove-

    ment. Anyone who is found guilty will never

    sit proudly and wear the beret of the Econom-

    ic Freedom Fighters, he told journalists.

    We are not like Cope. We are not like

    Agang and all of them. We are not like any

    other political party. They are not a protest

    movement. We have a completely different

    plan. Ours is expropriation of land without

    compensation. No one has spoken about that.

    So you cant say we are like them.

    Malema said his party had a plan that in-

    cluded the non-negotiable principles of land

    expropriation and nationalisation of mines,

    both without compensation.

    We want to nationalise mines. And we are

    not going to pay for those mines. No one has

    said that, he said.

    The EFFs commander-in-chief also un-

    veiled some new members, including sushi-

    king Kenny Kunene, actor Fana Mokoena,

    former ANC Youth League North West chair-

    person Papiki Baboile, former Youth League

    spokesperson Floyd Shivambu and former

    Umkhonto weSizwe cadre Mpho Ramakatsa.

    We are living among the masses. There is

    no elite here. These people you see are ordi-

    nary faces.

    It is not a group of individuals who are

    used to power and, therefore, it has been taken

    from them and they want it back, Malema

    said.

    Juju, as Malema is affectionately known,

    formed the Economic Freedom Fighters

    movement after his subsequent efforts as a

    cabbage farmer were thwarted when his as-

    sets were seized.

    The EFF held their political rallies in Sasol-

    burg and Sebokeng on Saturday.

    Malema still has the matter of corruption

    charges hanging over his head.

    ITS the birthday of former president Nelson

    Rolihlahla Mandela tomorrow.

    Mandela, who is still recovering at Pretorias

    Mediclinic Heart Hospital, was born on 18 July

    1918 in the tiny village of Mvezo, on the banks

    of the Mbashe River in Transkei, South Africa.

    Rolihlahla in the Xhosa language literally

    means pulling the branch of a tree, but more

    commonly translates as troublemaker.

    Mandelas father, who was destined to be a

    chief, served as a counsellor to tribal chiefs for

    several years, but lost both his title and fortune

    over a dispute with the local colonial magis-

    trate. Mandela was only an infant at the time,

    and his fathers loss of status forced his mother

    tomove the family toQunu, an even smaller vil-

    lage north of Mvezo.

    The village was nestled in a narrow, grassy

    valley; there were no roads, only foot paths that

    linked the pastureswhere livestock grazed. The

    family lived in huts and ate a local harvest of

    maize, sorghum, pumpkin and beans, which

    was all they could afford. Water came from

    springs and streams and cooking was done out-

    doors.

    Mandela played the games of young boys, act-

    ing out male rights-of-passage scenarios with

    toys hemade from the natural materials availa-

    ble, including tree branches and clay.

    At the suggestionof oneofhis fathers friends,

    Mandelawas baptised in theMethodist Church.

    He went on to become the first in his family to

    attend school. As was custom at the time, and

    probably due to the bias of the British educa-

    tional system in South Africa, Mandelas teach-

    er toldhimthathisnew firstnamewouldbeNel-

    son.

    When Mandela was nine years old, his father

    died of lung disease, causing his life to change

    dramatically. He was adopted by Chief Jongint-

    aba Dalindyebo - a gesture done as a favour to

    Mandelas father,who,yearsearlier,hadrecom-

    mended Jongintaba be made chief.

    Mandela subsequently left the carefree life he

    knew in Qunu, fearing that he would never see

    his village again. He travelled by motorcar to

    Mqhekezweni, the provincial capital of Them-

    buland, to the chiefs royal residence. Though

    hehadnot forgottenhisbelovedvillageofQunu,

    he quickly adapted to the new, more sophistica-

    ted surroundings of Mqhekezweni. Mandela

    was given the same status and responsibilities

    as the regents two other children, his son and

    oldest child, Justice, and daughter Nomafu.

    Mandela joined the African National Con-

    gress in 1942. For 20 years, he directed a cam-

    paign of peaceful, non-violent defiance against

    theSouthAfricangovernment and its racist pol-

    icies. In 1993, Mandela and South African Presi-

    dent F.W. deKlerkwere jointly awarded theNo-

    bel Peace Prize for their efforts to dismantle the

    countrys apartheid system. In 1994, Mandela

    was inaugurated as South Africas first black

    president. In 2009, Mandelas birthday (July 18)

    was declared Mandela Day to promote global

    peace and celebrate the South African leaders

    legacy. www.biography.com

    THEY went to the mountain as boys and now

    they are back as proud men.

    Altogether 26males, who concluded their ini-

    tiation ritual last weekend after spending two

    months in the mountain, were welcomed back

    homewith song and dance byhundreds of excit-

    ed community members in Botshabelos Sec-

    tion T on Saturday.

    There were no casualties as all initiation

    school graduates returned home safely, thanks

    to the manner in which the Mangaung Metro

    Municipality handled the issue of initiation.

    The metro has become the first municipality to

    have successfully intervened to ensure that this

    practice is conducted properly without inci-

    dent.

    As the municipality we are very proud be-

    cause all the boys came back home alive and

    healthy. In the past few weeks, there have been

    reports of boys dying at initiation schools

    across the country. This goes to show that our

    initiative aimed at saving lives is working. We

    make sure that every boy going to the initiation

    school undergoes the necessary check-ups in a

    hospital to prevent unnecessary deaths, Cllr

    Maditaba Matsoetlane, member of the mayoral

    committee for Health and Social Development,

    told Express.

    Letebele Letele, the owner of the initiation

    school, said he was happy about the way in

    which things went in the bush. His school offi-

    cially closed last Friday to allow school-going

    initiates to return home and be ready for the re-

    opening of schools on Monday.

    Im really excited that everythingwent well.

    All the boys are back home safely and their par-

    ents are happy.

    Im thankful to God for protecting them dur-

    ing their time in the mountain.

    When I enrol the boys intomy school, Imake

    sure that they are 18 years or older. Before any

    intake Imake sure they go to hospital for check-

    ups. This is done to make sure that they are

    healthy and are not undergoing any treatment

    before being accepted. The initiates must also

    be in possession of a consent form signed by the

    parents and they should be accompanied to the

    mountain by those parents, he explained.

    One of the graduates, who did not want his

    namementioned, said: Itwasagratifying expe-

    rience to be part of the whole initiation ritual.

    Im very happy that I have finally made it into

    manhood.FromnowonI canassociatewithreal

    men. Ill no longer be treated like a youngman.

    RaditlhareMolete, chairman of the initiation

    schools committee, was over themoon because

    there were no casualties in Leteles school.

    Asa committeewemake sure that boysdont

    go behind their parents backs to attend initia-

    tion schools.

    Anyone who comes to the school without

    their parents permission is not accepted. We

    work hand-in-hand with the municipality and

    the Department of Health.

    search experts GlobeScan, much of the NRGPs

    success was attributed to sound and coherent

    strategic planning at inception, the collabora-

    tive nature of all stakeholder relationships and

    the success of its public awarenessprogramme.

    The work being undertaken by the NRGP in

    terms of promoting responsible gambling is be-

    ing studied by industry professionals and regu-

    lators worldwide, and its structure and work-

    ings areviewedas amodel to be emulated inter-

    nationally.

    The scope of the research included not only

    reputationmeasurement, but also assessed the

    work being undertaken to minimise the effect

    of excessive gambling. To do the comparison,

    GlobeScan compared the NRGP to similar

    projects in the America, Britain, Australia,

    Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway and

    Sweden.

    The reports main findings into services pro-

    vided and the costs attributed to these, were

    based on in-depth interviews with internation-

    al experts, analysis of global media coverage,

    public opinion and government responses to

    responsible gambling issues.

    Favourable findings about the NRGP in-

    clude:

    The absence of conflict between industry,

    regulators and government in South Africa is

    positive.Therelationshipbetweenrole-players

    was found to be on a par and even better than

    in other countries. The collaborative relation-

    ship between the public and private sectors

    was particularly lauded.

    The NRGPs programme, while being more

    effective, also offers the most cost-effective op-

    tion. According to the report, South Africa

    spends US$2 million in comparison to $18 mil-

    lion inNewZealand, $7,5 million inBritain and

    a hefty $85 million in Canada.

    In return, the NRGP provides a comprehen-

    sive programme of treatment, prevention,

    training, a national schools programmeand re-

    search. Britain, for example, was found to de-

    liver fewer services, engaged in very little pre-

    ventionandpublic awarenessworkand funded

    very little research that could be used to formu-

    late appropriate preventative strategies or

    good public policy.

    In their assessment of media coverage,

    GlobeScan found South Africa accounted for

    only 1% of all stories worldwide, with the ma-

    jority of these being positive about the indus-

    try, regulators and the NRGP.

    By comparison, international coverage is

    predominantly negative of regulators and in-

    dustry, most notably in Britain, as well as New

    Zealand and parts of Canada. The report states:

    The coverage blames both industry and regu-

    lators for failing to address the issueof problem

    gambling which they allege is a major social

    problem and requires higher levies and more

    restrictive regulation.

    Although theNRGPenjoys apositive andcol-

    laborative relationship with industry and reg-

    ulators, it neverthelessmaintains its independ-

    ence from both, earning it both credibility and

    respect. The report further points to the

    NRGPs work as being honest in its dealings

    with both media and government.

    The grounds for the reports findings also in-

    clude the absence of vested interests attempt-

    ing to hijack the programme,management and

    structure that ensure evaluation of effective-

    ness, and cost-effectiveness of activities. It also

    highlights credibility of messages delivered to

    the public, use of research to inform best prac-

    tice in prevention and treatment, information-

    sharing and collaboration among service pro-

    viders, good relations with the media and peer

    review and evaluation.

    However, the report also cautions that there

    is a potential weakness in relation to address-

    ing issues of internet and social media gam-

    bling. Dr Vincent Maphai, NRGP chairman,

    said that potential problems that could result

    from internet or social media gambling in

    South Africa were being researched and that

    the NRGP would formulate strategies for edu-

    cation and treatment in the near future.

    While we have known anecdotally that the

    NRGP ishighly regarded internationally for its

    approach to problemgambling in SouthAfrica,

    we didnt know definitively until now the de-

    gree to which the programmes integration of

    public awareness, research and treatment was

    regarded internationally. The results of this

    study are a tribute to all who haveworkedwith

    the NRGP since inception, he said.

    The recent arrest of the MEC for Health

    in the Free State for allegations of fraud

    and corruption he allegedly committed

    during his previous occupation as a

    municipal manager of the Matjhabeng

    Local Municipality has propelled us as the

    hence such allegations have the possibility

    of tarnishing the image of the ANC.

    In our view MEC Benny Malakoanes

    removal is rather urgent.

    The YCLSA Free State insists and

    demands that the ANC deploy credible

    and reputable cadres to represent

    the ANC wherever the ANC is in

    charge.

    It is our belief that any person

    alleged to have committed any form of

    corruption while serving in a public

    office on behalf of the ANC must be

    immediately released and has their day

    in court.

    We do, however, also believe that

    HOW ironic to see that a man who has so

    little to say, given so much media promi-

    Malema has consistently represented the

    worst traits in African politics and that

    is gaining power by pitting people

    against each other and making extrava-

    gant promises of taking from one group

    and giving to another.

    The problem is that which is taken

    is always utilised to enrich only the

    leader and his cronies.

    Point in fact being Mugabe and

    of Finance, Pravin Gordhan, to conduct an

    investigation when allegations of improprie-

    ty and misconduct were first levelled

    against the commissioner.

    ALTHOUGH she is already a star in her own

    right, the talented Blandina Makatisi of

    Trompsburg in the southern Free State is set

    to make even bigger waves on the South Afri-

    can athletics scene.

    The 18-year-old learner of the Trompsburg

    Secondary School in Trompsburg has already

    participated in the Africa Games in Maputo

    in 2011.

    This middle-child is the current junior

    champion in both the 3 000 m and 5 000 m and

    also broke the Free State 5 000 m record.

    In April Blandina participated at the ASA

    Youth, Junior andu.23Championships inPre-

    toria where she received gold in the 3 000 m

    for junior women.

    Then she went to the ASA Senior Cham-

    pionships in Stellenbosch where she came

    fourth overall in the 5 000 m and first in the

    junior category.

    She is currently ranked first on the ASA

    2013 junior ranking list in the 3 000 m and the

    5 000 m.

    Blandina was the only middle- to long-dis-

    tance athlete from the Free State who had

    been invited by Elana Meyer to the Enduro-

    cad training and assessment camp in Stellen-

    bosch at the beginning of last month.

    This focused athlete has also been chosen

    for the ASA Junior African Championships

    later this year.

    My vision for next year is to participate in

    the World Junior Championships and the

    Common Wealth Games and I am hoping for

    more support and sponsors from the Free

    State to help me achieve my dreams, she

    said.

    Blandina, who says the only way to get to

    the top is through hard work and sacrifice,

    was also the Express Supersport Lets Play

    Sports Star of the Month for May.

    My ultimate dream is to participate in the

    2016 Olympics, she told Express.

    Flora Teckie

    THE coming together of the peoples

    of the world in unity is the most

    important need of humanity today.

    Achievement of unity on earth

    requires changes in our behaviour,

    by overcoming any feelings of racism

    or prejudice that we may, conscious-

    ly or unconsciously, still have and by

    accepting the oneness of humanity.

    In unity, a unity that welcomes

    and honours the diversity of our

    backgrounds, problems of humanity

    can be solved.

    Bahullh says: The well-being of

    mankind, its peace and security, are

    unattainable unless and until its

    unity is firmly established.

    So powerful is the light of unity,

    that it can illuminate the whole

    earth.

    The unity of humanity, as Bahs

    view it, is a unity in diversity rather

    than uniformity.

    It is not by suppression of differ-

    ences that one will arrive at unity,

    but rather, by an increased aware-

    ness of and respect for the values of

    each culture, and indeed of each

    individual.

    It is the variety of colour and

    culture that makes the world a more

    beautiful place to live in.

    According to the Bahai Writings:

    The diversity in the human family

    should be the cause of love and

    harmony, as it is in music where

    many different notes blend together

    in the making of a perfect chord.

    The following quotations from the

    Bah Writings further illustrate

    this: Consider the flowers of a

    garden: though differing in kind,

    colour, form and shape, yet, inas-

    much as they are refreshed by the

    waters of one spring, revived by the

    breath of one wind, invigorated by

    the rays of one sun, this diversity

    increaseth their charm, and addeth

    unto their beauty.

    Thus when that unifying force,

    the penetrating influence of the Word

    of God, taketh effect, the difference of

    customs, manners, habits, ideas,

    opinions and dispositions embel-

    lisheth the world of humanity.

    In order to promote unity and

    mutual understanding among the

    various segments of the human

    family we need to confront and

    eliminate all forms of prejudice be it

    religious, racial, patriotic, tribal and

    so on.

    In the Bah view the recognition

    of the fundamental oneness of the

    human race is the key to overcoming

    our prejudices.

    At the same time we should value

    the cultural characteristics of various

    groups in society.

    While pride in ones culture can be

    a healthy emotion acting as a

    motivation to achieve ones full

    potential and to reach out to others,

    if taken to extremes such over-attach-

    ment to ones group can lead to

    mistrust and enmity towards other

    groups.

    Uncontrolled pride in ones

    heritage becomes in that case an

    excuse for prejudice and hatred

    towards those who do not share the

    same culture, ethnic background,

    language or religion.

    The principle of the oneness of

    humanity does not imply that we

    should abandon legitimate loyalties,

    suppress cultural diversity or abolish

    national autonomy.

    These are all essential if the evils

    of excessive centralisation are to be

    avoided.

    Oneness of humanity, in the Bah

    view, implies having a wider loyalty,

    a higher aspiration.

    It implies subordination of national

    and regional impulses and interests

    to the imperative claims of a unified

    world.

    OUR attention has been drawn to

    fraudulent activities whereby

    have won money in a promotion

    by Unilever.

    Unilever is a manufacturer of

    brands like Sunlight, Skip, Omo,

    The fraudulent scam involves the

    sender requesting the consumers

    banking details and requesting

    them to deposit money into an

    receive their winnings.

    Unilever will never request

    consumers to deposit money after

    DAVID BAILEY,

    the international

    soccer school

    manager of English

    Premiership-side

    Bolton Wanderers,

    was in town recent-

    ly. The knowledgea-

    ble coach was in

    Bloemfontein to look

    for players and to

    try and help develop

    young footballers in

    the Free State.

    When recruiting

    players the first

    thing we look for in

    a player is attitude.

    Attitude is a little

    thing that makes a

    difference in a

    player. We say to the

    players everywhere

    we go in the world

    that they must have

    mobility and good

    attitude. One thing I

    have found in Africa

    is that the players I

    have come across

    have a very good

    attitude, Bailey told

    Express.

    The other thing

    we look for in a

    player is that he

    must have good

    pace, change of

    direction, have

    endurance, strength

    all the characteris-

    tics that football

    needs. And predomi-

    nantly, we look for

    what the player does

    off the ball. Techni-

    cally we find the

    players are good on

    the ball, tactically

    not bad at all. We

    also look for

    ambition in a player,

    amongst other

    things. The player

    must have passion

    and desire to

    succeed, he ex-

    plained.

    His advice to

    South African

    players who want to

    pursue their football

    careers abroad is:

    The advice I give to

    every player is you

    have to work very

    hard, discipline

    yourself and make

    some terrific

    sacrifices involving

    friends and family.

    The most important

    thing I can say to a

    player is to get an

    education.

    Tyrone Mondi (16)

    was one of 40 players

    whom Bailey took

    through their paces

    at HTS Louis Botha.

    I learnt a lot of

    good things from

    Dave your attitude,

    how you should

    conduct yourself on

    and off the field, the

    way you should eat,

    train and how

    important it is to

    respect your

    coaches, Mondi

    said.

    Earlier this year,

    Mondi and two other

    Free State boys were

    flown to England to

    spend a week at

    Bolton Wanderers in

    England, thanks to a

    partnership between

    Simsport Interna-

    tional, Free State

    Tourism and

    Wanderers.

    TOYOTA, the title sponsor of the

    Toyota Cheetahs, is searching for

    a new group of cheerleaders for

    the Free State franchise.

    According to Kerry Roodt, gen-

    eral manager: Marketing Com-

    munications of Toyota, wanna-be

    cheerleaders for the club dont

    need to be professional models or

    dancers to enter.

    All they need to have is a pas-

    sion for the Cheetahs and to pitch

    up for auditions at the Loch Lo-

    gan Waterfront in Bloemfontein

    on Friday.

    After entrenching themselves

    as the Cheetahs number-one

    partner on and off the field, Toyo-

    ta has now decided to give fans an

    opportunity to be part of the pro-

    duct they see on the field - and the

    Cheetah cheerleader search is

    their first step.

    As a proud sponsor of the Toy-

    ota Cheetahs we thought it is ap-

    propriate to find a way to bring

    fans closer to the team and what

    can be closer than being part of

    the cheerleading team? This way

    fans can show their passion for

    the team and be a proud part of

    the product that is Toyota Chee-

    tahs rugby at the same time,

    Roodt told Express.

    Girls can simply pitch up, sign

    up and showcase their moves in

    front of the judges. With a simple
