Its Bloem Show time

}

Sidwell Guduka

ITS that time of the year again which

means that in the Free State its time for the

Bloem Show, one of Mzansis biggest and

most-entertaining family-friendly expos.

Lovers of this exhibition should brace

themselves for another exciting pro-

gramme that includes music and other fun

activities.

The annual show starts tomorrow and it

will run until Saturday, 4 May, at the

Bloemfontein Showgrounds.

We are privileged to present the Bloem

Show for the 130th time this year. The first

Bloem Show took place on 25May 1883. This

event survived the First World War and in

1917 the first tractor was exhibited at the

show, Elmarie Prinsloo, CEO of Bloem

Show, said during the official launch of the

Bloem Show 2013 at Bloemfontein Show-

grounds last Wednesday.

This show came to a stand still during

the Second World War. After the war, the

first show took place in 1947 and since then

has gone from strength to strength. Today

the Bloem Show is acknowledged as one of

the largest shows in South Africa, she add-

ed.

According to Prinsloo, more than 120 000

people visited the Bloem Show 2012 over a

period of 10 days.

Some 65% of these visitors was from out-

side Bloemfontein/Mangaung. About 60%

of the almost 450 exhibitors was also from

outside Mangaung, Elmarie said.

She added that visitors and exhibitors at

the Bloem Show had a direct impact on the

economy of Bloemfontein/Mangaung and

the greater Free State.

Businesses like guesthouses, hotels, the

advertising industry, restaurants, shop-

ping centres, the entertainment industry

and filling stations benefit greatly from the

extra visitors to theCity of Roses every year

during the Bloem Show, said Prinsloo.

Well-known acts such as Kurt Darren,

Bobby van Jaarsveld, Dr Victor and Rasta

Rebels, SteveHofmeyr, Sipho HotstixMa-

buse, Zahara and local up-and-coming art-

ists will perform during the festival.

The gates open at 09:00 until 20:00 daily,

except for Sunday where gates will close at

17:00.

Tickets cost R60 for adults, for children

under 12 and pensioners R20 and entrance

is free for pre-school children. For more in-

formation about Bloem Show, call 051-448-

MEC unhappy with

conditions at Phekolong

}

Tladi Moloi

WA bona dipetlele tsa rona meaning,

You see our hospitals.

These were the words of Benny Malako-

ane, the new Free State MEC for Health,

talking to one of the officials who accom-

panied him during a surprise visit to the

Dihlabeng Regional Hospital and the

troubled Phekolong Hospital in Bethlehem

last Tuesday.

Malakoane said this after he had found

that the ear, nose and throat set (ENT)

and a suction machine at Phekolong were

not working. The nurses at the hospital

failed to show the MEC that these things

were in working order and they ended up

pointing fingers at one another.

We cannot tolerate such things in our

hospitals. Next time when I find these

things not working whoever is responsi-

ble, must voluntarily resign, because he

or she wants to go home, he said.

Soon after he had said this, Shelly-Ann

Danster, the nursing head, said: I will

resign.

Malakoane said to her: You see, now

you are laughing about it, but when we

come, we will send you home.

Malakoane was unhappy with many

things at Phekolong.

He also pointed out that they could not

keep people in the passageway and calls

to admission waiting and said people

should not be kept long. It was established

that people wait long while staff have to

search for their files in a small, dark back

room which Malakoane was also not

happy with.

There has to be an improvement in the

IT system to avoid this. This is an old

style of filing and we cannot still be using

it in 2013, he said.

Malakoane also pointed out that tea

time must be abolished because it is being

abused. He said he was going to investi-

gate whether it was a condition of

employment.

If it is not, we should stop it immedi-

ately. You will find nurses ignoring people

in the queues and going on a tea break

and that is unacceptable, he said.

The MEC did not have many concerns

about the Dihlabeng Regional Hospital of

which a part is under construction.

We should get more contractors so that

they can finish the process as soon as

possible, he said.

NCOP disappointed with

state of projects

}

Selloane Khalane

THE National Council of

Provinces (NCOP)

expressed their disap-

pointment at the state of

projects in the Thabo

Mofutsanyana District

Municipality after

finding a road contractor

using a Primus stove to

heat tar and used

wheelbarrows to trans-

port construction

material to the road.

These shocking

findings were found

during last weeks

service delivery over-

sight in the Free State.

The NCOP delegation

leader, Mbuyiselo

Jacobs, said the commit-

tee was depressed at

the snails pace which

the municipality was

taking to finish projects

initiated as far back as

2006.

The NCOP ANC

delegate, Aaron Mnguni,

said they were shocked

to find one of the road

constructors using the

old-fashioned stove to

heat up tar and wheel-

barrows to transport

construction material

during their oversight

visits in the municipali-

ty.

Mnguni said the

contractor said he had

not been paid any money

since being given the

tender in November last

year.

The council was

further aggrieved when

both the municipal

manager and mayor of

the district failed to

pitch to account for

multi-million rand

projects that had gone

stale and instead

delegated a member of

the mayoral committee

responsible for finance,

Mamoroanyane Mositi,

who was grilled by the

committee.

Altogether R1,8

million down the drain,

Jacobs said referring to

the Maluti Dairy Farm

project which has lost

numerous dairy cattle to

theft and alleged corrupt

deals. This is a waste of

tax payers money,

Jacobs added.

The council was

concerned that the

project manager could

not account for remuner-

ation made from the

project.

Jacobs said he had

heard rumours of

farmers selling their

farms to the Thabo

Mofutsanyana District

Municipality only to be

later sold back to the

original owners at a

higher price.

The DA NCOP delegate

member, Arthur Worth,

said the Qwaqwa Lodge

initiated in 1996 was in

shambles.

Building of the lodge

was started in 1996, it is

2013 and it has still not

been completed, Worth

said.

The Setsoto municipal

manager, Sugar Ramaka-

rane, admitted to the

council that his munici-

pality was facing a

serious sanitation and

water challenge.

Spillage flowing into

the Caledon River

remains a problem we

cant handle on our

own, Ramakarane

admitted.

Ramakarane said the

municipality has spent

R21 million on new bore-

holes and installing a

water pipe that will be

able to handle the

capacity of water

demanded.

The NCOP Cope

delegate, Dennis Bloem,

said he was concerned

about the R53 million

spent on consultants.

Bloem said this showed

that the people hired at

municipalities lacked the

necessary skills to do

their job.

During the sitting it

was revealed that 45% of

irregular, unauthorised

and fruitless expenditure

of the province came

from the Matjhabeng

Municipality. The

council congratulated the

Phumelela and Dihla-

beng Municipalities for

being exemplary munici-

palities for the good

work they were doing.

ROYAL VISIT: The Shoprite division for the Free State,

Northern Cape, Botswana, Lesotho and the North-West

province in Bloemfontein was recently visited by King Let-

sie III of Lesotho. This was to see how fresh products are

grown and processed. The king believes that these meth-

ods can also be applied in Lesotho, because Freshmark,

part of the Shoprite group of South Africa, already supplies

fresh fruit and vegetables to Shoprite and U-save outlets

in Lesotho. Fromthe left are JohanvanderMerwe, financial

Molemela turns 80

}

Sidwell Guduka

PETRUS MOLEMELA, Bloemfontein Cel-

tics honorary lifetime president, celebrated

his 80th birthday last Tuesday.

The White Head, as Molemela is affection-

ately known in football circles, is no longer

actively involved in the game after selling

the club to current owner Jimmy Augousti

in 2002.

He bought the 44-year-old club in 1975 from

founders Norman Mathobisa, Victor Maha-

tanya, Andrew Ntake, Moses Mabule, Gabri-

el Rabayi and Charles Guild.

I enjoyed every minute of my birthday. It

was great to celebrate it with the people of

Bloemfontein. Imgrateful toGod for keeping

me alive to today, an elated Molemela said.

Khumbulani Konco, Celtic CEO, said:

Ntate Molemela has been a vital part of a

lasting football legacy and his contribution

to soccer, to Celtic and to his friends and

family is almost too hard to put into

words.

I still have somuch respect for him today.

He was Mr Celtic for many, many years and

he has been a great ambassador for soccer in

our region, he said.

Bloemfontein Celtic wishes Ntate

Molemela all the best. We salute him! he

added.

Molemela is now involved in the construc-

tion business in the Free State, but on a

smaller scale.

Thanks for good service

KEDIBONE WA GA SEKHWELA,

Bloemfontein:

ASSouthAfricanswehavenowbe-

come a mumbling and grumbling

nation and based on this, we no long-

er recognise and appreciate the good

things in life and in our country.

The reason why Im saying this is

because day in and day out when you

read the newspapers, listen to news

on the radio or watch news on televi-

sion people are complaining about

poor service delivery in their muni-

cipalities and even how government

is failing them on many occasions.

And Imust saymost of those griev-

ances are genuine, but today let me

take this opportunity to give credit

where it is due.

In February, I lost my drivers li-

cence and the idea of queuing for

the application of a new drivers li-

cence was a nightmare, because I

knew how straining it was to get ex-

cellent service in most of our traffic

departments, especially in my home

provinces of Mpumalanga and Lim-

popo.

But I couldnt believe how quickly

I was assisted at the Mangaung Traf-

fic Department; it didnt even take 30

minutes to apply for a new drivers

licence and to get a temporary li-

cence.

The level of professionalism and

commitment from the clerks, cash-

iers and officers was so amazing.

That was batho pele at its best and I

just want to congratulate the man-

agement and the entire staff at the

Mangaung Traffic Department for a

job well done and to keep it up.

I am also appealing to other traffic

departments to visit that traffic de-

partment on a fact-findingmission to

ask how they get it right, because all

South Africans deserve that kind of

service in all our municipalities.

house was not enough for her and

the family as she had to share a

room with the children.

We have been promised a

house with two bedrooms then

I would have my privacy. They

said it would take two months for

the house to be completed, she

said.

The demolishing of the two

houses inBluegumboschwaspart

of the Operation Hlasela out-

reach, planned to ensure that

services reach the intended bene-

ficiaries and that the government

yields the expected results from

the service delivery programmes

it has embarked on since it came

into office in 2009.

OllyMlamleli, theMECofCoop-

erative Governance, Traditional

Affairs and Human Settlements

for the Free State, said they have

allocated R54 million which

would be used to build houses in

the province.

She said the premier stated dur-

ing his State of the Province Ad-

dress that they should come up

with a strategy to get rid of all the

two-room houses in the province.

We have prioritised some of

the areas where those houses

were found in the province and

Bluegombosch is one of them. We

have found that there were 3 400

one door (two-room) houses in the

area, she said.

She said she was not in a posi-

tion to say how many houses

would be built in Qwaqwa and

added that they would have to

wait for the two contractors who

have requested to build two show

houses.

We have two contractors here

who have requested us to do the

showhouses.Wehave given them

a chance, as we want to see what

kind of houses they would build

and after that we will determine

how many houses would be built

in that place. After having built

those houses wewill again call on

the community and get their

views so that we can continue,

she said.

The MEC said those houses

where identified by the premier

during his door-to-door campaign

which was aimed at finding out

how people have been living.

I like it because it brings us to

the people who entrusted the pro-

vincial government to us. When I

arrived here I was not happywith

one of the houseswhere twodoors

from a bedroom and bath room

where coming straight to the

kitchen. I asked myself where the

dignity of our people was.

to see

change

}

Selloane Khalane

THE National Council of Provinces (NCOP)

complained about the lack of cooperation re-

ceived from the Free State Legislature mem-

bers.

This follows a week-long service delivery

oversight visit in the province.

At the Free State Legislature, Mbuyiselo

Jacobs, NCOP delegation leader, suggested

to the house that no parallel programmes

should be held during the committees pro-

vincial week.

Jacobs mentioned that Premier Ace Ma-

gashule and his executive cabinet ran a par-

allel programme and did not attend any of

the committees sittings.

While the committee did oversights, Ma-

gashule, MECs and councillors held an Op-

eration Hlasela outreach programme in

Bluegumbosch, Qwaqwa, over the week.

There is a lot of disjuncture, Jacobs

said.

They are not taking the council serious-

ly, NCOP Cope delegate Dennis Bloem said.

NCOP ANC delegate Aaron Mnguni said

the committee struggled during oversight

visits at the various projects, because there

were no councillors to brief the committee

on progress made on the projects.

We were left on our own, Mnguni said.

Discussing recommendation challenges

encountered on the various projects visited

by the delegation, Bloem said parliament

should bemore strict on allegations of cor-

ruption in municipalities.

Where there are allegations of corruption

in municipalities, the special investigative

unit (SIU) and Hawks should investigate,

Bloem said.

Bloem said findings of such investigations

should come with heavy consequences for

those found guilty.

This follows the auditor generals concern

over the R1,3 billion accumulated due to un-

authorized expenditures in the province.

Jacobs called for an investigation into the

R1,8 million pumped into the Maluti Dairy

Farm project which has been non-operation-

al since 2010 after the initial visit by parlia-

ment.

The committee was informed by a deputy

director from the Department of Agricul-

ture, a MJ Malate, that the project had gone

stale. The Maluti-a-Phofung Municipality

told beneficiaries there were no funds for

training.

NCOP DA delegate Arthur Worth recom-

mended an investigation into the financial

mismanagement and lack of control at the

QwaQwaLodge projectwhichhas beenwith-

out progress over the years.

THE Toyota Free State

Cheetahs will face the

Southern Kings at the

Free State Stadium in

Bloemfontein on Saturday.

The match kicks off at

19:10.

The Cheetahs confi-

dence levels may be sky

high going into this

encounter after defeating

the Sharks 12-6 in Durban

at the weekend, register-

ing their sixth Super

Rugby out of seven

matches.

The perennial bottom-

half side, Cheetahs, have

been a revelation this

season.

They have won five of

their last six outings

three on tour and have

turned a number of

problem areas into success

in the past few weeks.

And what the Cheetahs

will want to do this

Saturday is pick up right

where they left off against

the Sharks.

However, the Bloemfon-

tein-based rugby franchise

should be very wary of

the Kings backlash in

the next fixture this

weekend.

The Kings are coming

off a heavy loss at the

weekend, which makes

this game something of a

must-win for them,

especially as it comes just

before they face the

Waratahs in Port Eliza-

beth on 4 May.

Meanwhile, Naka

Drotsks men are sitting

sixth on the combined log

with 27 points and lie

second on the South

African conference log

behind the Bulls who have

28 points.

A victory against the

Kings will see them catch

up with the log-leading

Bulls.

On the other hand, Matt

Sextons troops are in 14th

position on the combined

log with a paltry 15 points;

9 points clear of the

basement side, the High-

landers.

The hosts will pin their

hopes on Heinrich Brs-

sow, Lappies Labuschagne,

Raymond Rhule, Burton

Francis and Willie le

Roux.

On Friday, Cheetahs

players will be at Kloppers

in Loch Logan to mingle

with their supporters.

We urge all our

supporters to come and

meet our players.

The players will be

there between 14:30 and

15:30 to hand out signa-

tures and take pictures

with fans, Ronel Pienaar,

manager: strategic commu-

nication, said.

Supporters qualify for

10% discount on all Puma

merchandise sold at

Kloppers and qualify for a

lucky draw of a brand-new

LG microwave with the

show of a match ticket for

the game between the

Toyota Cheetahs and the

Kings, she added.

) Tickets for this game

will be sold at Kloppers on

Friday and Saturday until

14:00 at R80 (grand-stand),

R60 (adults; open stand)

and R20 for students and

kids.

Tickets are also

available from the ticket

office at the Free State

BLOEMFONTEIN CELTICS

failure to score goals is a

cause for concern for the

whole team ahead of their

Absa Premiership match

against draw specialists

Mamelodi Sundowns at the

Pilditch Stadium on Saturday

at 20:15.

Coach Clinton Larsens men

wasted dozens of clear-cut

scoring opportunities before

managing a last-minute goal

against Golden Arrows, whom

they beat 1-0 in Bloemfontein

on Sunday.

Joel Mogorosi, who scored

the only goal of the match,

said they were sharpening

their finishing at training and

he was confident there would

be an improvement against

Downs who defeated them 1-0

in the first round at the Free

State Stadium.

A game is won by putting

the ball in the back of the net

and on Sunday we did every-

thing right but score. We need

to go back to the training field

and work on our finishing. We

should have killed the game in

the first half, but it never

happened as we missed dozens

of chances, Mogorosi said.

Credit must go to all the

players who continued to push

hard for a goal that we needed

so much. We never gave up. In

the end, we were happy to

have collected three important

points.

Every point is like gold at

this stage of the season.

We just need to soldier on

and keep on working hard.

Without hard work there is no

success. Goals will eventually

come.

Its just a matter of luck.

Luck seems to have deserted

us. We try our level best to get

goals, but finishing remains

our main problem.

If luck is not on your side,

you can do anything but score

goals. We should take heart

from the fact that we create a

lot of opportunities in every

game.

Larsen said he was working

around the clock to perfect his

players shooting at training.

Most of the players are

frustrated, because they are

working tirelessly at training

on the final part of our game

that is missing. But well keep

plugging away.

Our failure to score goals is

a combination of a few factors.

I think it is positioning,

composure and one or two

other things. Well continue to

work hard at training to get

things right.

The recenly signed striker

Roderick Mutuma may have

missed three good opportuni-

ties, but Larsen said he was

happy about his contribution.

Roderick is a special player.

He may have failed to touch

the net (against Arrows), but

his all-round contribution was

very good.

Its just a matter of time for

him to start finding the back

of the net quite regularly, the

coach said.

Celtic are eighth on the log,

on 34 points, from 26 matches.

We are looking to our next

game and we hope to collect

another three points. The more

we get them, the more well

move up the table.

If we fail to win, well drop

to the bottom half of the table

again. Well have to work hard

to cement our position in the

top eight, Mogorosi said.
