    THERE are many ex-

    amples of exceptional

    relationships be-

    tween man and ani-

    mal. Express found

    one such relation-

    ship, in this case be-

    tween James and

    John.

    Much like theBibli-

    cal brothers James

    and John, who fol-

    lowed Jesus Christ,

    James Mokoena from

    Kestell is followed

    everywhere by his

    good friend, John.

    The interesting

    thing is that John is a

    five-month-old sheep.

    According to 38-

    year-old James, it is

    unlikely that his best

    friend John will end

    up on the dinner ta-

    ble, as James is a

    strict vegetarian.

    James does con-

    cede that normally

    sheep are used for

    meat and providing

    wool, but he insists

    that this will not be

    Johns ultimate fate.

    After Johns

    mother gave birth to

    him, she refused to

    feed him and I decid-

    ed to take him in he

    has been by my side

    ever since, he says

    with a smile.

    James says as both

    he and John are vege-

    tarians, John eats

    everything he does.

    He eats almost

    everything, but his

    favourites are cook-

    ies, bananas and

    grass, says James.

    His love for ani-

    mals, James explains,

    and the gift of being

    an animal whisperer,

    began years ago after

    he had broken his leg.

    I was an athlete

    and one day I broke

    my leg and because of

    the injury I began

    spending time with

    my animals, he said.

    James describes

    his pet sheep as hu-

    man, hence he gave

    him a human name.

    The sheep does eve-

    rything that he does.

    He sleeps in the

    house, walks around

    withme in the streets

    and eats the normal

    food that a vegetarian

    eats. He also loves

    driving in a car.

    I have a friend by

    the name of Oom

    Roos. John loves be-

    ing in his car, his fa-

    vourite seat is in the

    front.

    Another animal

    that James has adopt-

    ed, a small male wild

    goat named Jonas,

    unfortunately does

    not get along with

    John.

    James explains

    that Jonas is still

    young and is intimi-

    dated by John.

    James says his

    wish is to see John

    grow to take part in

    animal shows as this

    will not only display

    the bond that they

    share, but also create

    an opportunity for

    him to receive a little

    incentive.

    The jolly sheep

    loves eating, is scared

    of dogs and James

    sayswhenhe needs to

    answer the call of na-

    ture, the sign that he

    gives is to stand mo-

    tionless. James will

    then open the door for

    him to go relieve him-

    self outside.

    EXCELLING schools in the Thabo Mofut-

    sanyane District were last week rewarded

    with state-of-the-art science and computer

    laboratories.

    Basic Education Minister Angie Motshek-

    ga and her Free State counterpart, MEC

    Tate Makgoe, together with the Kagiso

    Trust and the Beyers Naud Foundation,

    officially handed over the laboratories and

    libraries to nine deserving schools.

    The nine schools, eight high schools and

    a primary school, were handed the much-

    needed equipment following their improve-

    ment in the gr. 12 pass rates.

    According to the Kagiso Trusts ICT

    director, Darryl Lund, the aim of the

    project was to improve the quality of

    education in the country and not only in

    the Thabo Mofutsanyane area.

    Last years improvement of the prov-

    inces matric results, that placed the

    province in the top three best-performing

    provinces in the country, made the Kagiso

    Trust take note, Lund explained.

    Meanwhile, Motshekga explained the

    importance of creating not only a top-class

    environment, but also creating a clean

    environment for learners. She best ex-

    plained the quantity and quality of the

    education as that which has not only

    improved, but exceeded that target that

    was placed.

    She expressed a feeling of achievement

    for she had always wanted to improve the

    quality of the Outcome-Based Education

    Curriculum in the country.

    In each of the nine schools that received

    the revamp, the computer laboratory was

    fitted with 40 computers while the library

    was fitted with new books and the science

    laboratory with all the apparatus needed

    by the learners to do their experiments.

    The first school at which the minister

    handed the equipment over was the

    Thokoana Makaota High School that uses

    the theme Hustlers Never Give Up in the

    Mabolela Village. The minister opened the

    handover at the school where she encour-

    aged learners to focus on school and

    advised them to leave the streets, because

    they would not take them anywhere.

    Dineo Mofokeng, who is a gr. 11 Life

    Science pupil at the school, expressed her

    feelings of joy.

    I am happy that the department did this

    for us and one of the things that we are

    grateful for is that we no longer have to

    walk kilometres to use the universitys

    apparatus and we will also not disturb the

    students, she said.

    John Xaba, a Life Science teacher at the

    school, expressed his feelings of happiness

    after the handover took place.

    I cant explain how I feel about what

    the Kagiso Trust did for us. The science

    stream here in our school had been

    struggling since 1990, but today we will

    struggle no more, said Xaba.

    According to the Makgoe the department

    and the Kagiso Trust together raised R180

    million to kickstart the programme that

    started in 2008 and though it seemed like it

    was preferential, the aim was not based on

    that, the aim was based on improving the

    standard of schools in the province and the

    criteria used for that was based on the

    pass rate of the schools.

    If the pass rate improved, like it did for

    the nine schools, then the trust and

    department will start from scratch in

    building the laboratories and renovations

    needed.

    BUSINESSMAN Kenny Kunene has

    quit his leadership positions in the

    newly-formed Economic Freedom

    Front (EFF) with immediate effect, it

    was reported last week Wednesday.

    Kunene told The Star newspaper

    that he was resigning from his posi-

    tion on the central command team as

    well as his role as the head of cam-

    paigns, mobilisation and special

    projects, after considering a lot of

    things.

    He added that there were still deci-

    sions to be made on the way forward.

    Obviously I would like to see eco-

    nomic freedom being realised and I

    will remain an economic freedom

    fighter for ordinary people.

    The direction I am taking from

    now will determine if I will still be ac-

    tive in the EFF, he told The Star.

    Kunene, known as the Sushi

    King, was seen as a crowd-pulling as-

    set for former ANC Youth League

    leader Julius Malemas new political

    party.

    He said Malema had accepted and

    respected his resignation, and that

    he still believed the party had a future

    even when I am not there. News24

    THE Free State Legislatures

    Multi-Party Caucus through the

    Office of the Speaker will be

    hosting a dialogue for women in

    the Mangaung Metro.

    The caucus is aimed at promot-

    ing good governance through

    developing programmes that

    facilitate public access, involve-

    ment and information in a more

    comprehensive and integrated

    manner.

    The caucus comprises all

    women MPLs, including mem-

    bers of the Executive Council as

    well as a designated representa-

    tive of the Speakers Office.

    Womens Month is politically

    significant for the Free State

    Provincial Legislature in the

    context that it provides opportu-

    nity, space and time to women

    members of the Legislature to

    work together in an impartial

    and a political manner to address

    social issues affecting women in

    the province.

    The mandate of the caucus is

    to focus on concerns which are

    pertinent to vulnerable groups.

    The activity creates a platform

    for vulnerable groups from

    various sectors of Free State

    society to meet and enter into

    dialogue on the achievements

    and the challenges encountered.

    The caucus thus becomes the

    listening forum for vulnerable

    groups to relate their experiences

    directly to Members of the

    Legislature.

    This serves as an important

    consultative forum for mutually

    beneficial dialogue between

    policy-makers and the vulnerable

    groups.

    The theme for Womens Month

    is Dedicated Women influence the

    course of History.

    Last years event focused on

    social issues affecting child-head-

    ed families and old women, with

    the target being women and girls

    residing in rural or far-flung

    areas in the province, where

    services of government are, due

    to various reasons, not easily

    accessible.

    The women and girl-child

    constitute the vulnerable sector

    of the population and those in

    rural or far-flung areas are the

    most disadvantaged.

    The 2013 Womens Month event

    focuses on ensuring effective and

    efficient participating of young

    women in the economy, assisting

    them to form cooperatives.

    It will also encourage young

    women to use public participa-

    tion channels to voice their

    concerns, learn and know how

    the Legislature functions as well

    as promoting safety and health

    care for young women.

    The caucus this year focuses

    on young women there will be

    a dialogue of young women

    focusing on five key priorities of

    government for 2013 as men-

    tioned in the State of the Nation

    Address by the president in

    February, namely education and

    skills, health, creation of decent

    jobs, crime, corruption as well as

    rural development and land

    distribution.

    Various departments such us

    Government Communication and

    Information Systems (GCIS) will

    NEWS

    WE have come to the end of Womens

    Month that has been celebrated with much

    deserved fanfare.

    The message has been unambiguously

    sent to South African men of all races to

    treat our young girls, sisters, mothers and

    grandmothers with respect befitting a

    human being.

    Nevertheless, allow me to register my

    utter disgust with the provocative and

    violent nature that characterises a South

    African man of our time. There is a

    perturbing statistic that every 17 seconds a

    woman is raped in South Africa.

    Census 2011 reported that there are

    about 26 582 769 female people in South

    Africa, meaning women far out-number

    men in South Africa. Surprisingly, the

    South African prison population is con-

    spicuously male with our country being

    ranked seventh in the world as far as the

    highest number of people serving prison

    sentences is concerned.

    In his speech on Womens Day, Pres.

    Jacob Zuma said, In the period between

    2010 and 2013, the courts have imposed

    1 114 life sentences to those found guilty of

    serious crimes. Men of varying ages are

    serving time for heinous crimes such as

    murder, armed-robbery, rape and assault

    just to mention a few.

    As a man, I would naturally be expected

    to be chauvinistic in thinking and my

    orientation. I could have chosen to ignore

    the anger that dominates mens psyche

    because Im one of their own.

    By virtue of being a man, I am less

    likely to be at the receiving end of mens

    gruesome behaviour. Game rangers

    unanimously agree that in the animal

    kingdom males that assume the role of

    fathers are the ones that provide food and

    protection for their entire clan.

    They inculcate discipline and ensure

    that none trespass into their territory.

    Out of a sense of moral integrity, I have

    therefore chosen to highlight and explore

    some of the most brutal incidents that

    were carried out by South African men

    across the racial lines.

    Making international headlines in

    November 2010, 28-year-old Anni Dewani, a

    British tourist on honeymoon in Cape

    Town, was murdered in cold blood by

    three South African men.

    The three men, Xolile Mngeni, Mziwama-

    doda Qwabe and Zola Tongo, were alleged-

    ly hired by Shrien Dewani to orchestrate

    and execute his wifes murder. The three

    South Africans have since been handed

    hefty sentences and are already languish-

    ing in prison, while the state awaits

    Shrien Dewanis extradition to account for

    murder of his wife to whom he was

    married for just two weeks.

    Another case that portrayed men as

    monsters was the bodily mutilation and

    gang rape of Ina Bonnette by three men

    who were hired by her estranged husband

    on 3 January 2012.

    The man dubbed The Modimolle

    monster, Johan Kotze and his three

    accomplices have been sentenced to life

    imprisonment by the Pretoria High Court

    on 17 July.

    A glamorous international model, Reeva

    Steenkamp, was shot dead on 14 February

    by her boyfriend at the Silver Wood Estate

    in Pretoria. A Paralympic gold- medallist,

    Oscar Pistorius admitted to shooting four

    times through a bathroom door thinking

    the elegant model was an intruder. Of all

    days, Steenkamp died on Valentines Day

    when she was supposed to be romanti-

    cised. The state is yet to prove if

    Steenkamps murder was premeditated.

    A high level of education and profession-

    al fields has not shrugged off the monster

    mentality from which most of our brothers

    suffer. Statistically, the South African

    Police Service recorded 64 514 cases of

    sexual offences in the 2011-12 period. The

    immoral trend of male teachers raping and

    impregnating teenage school girls contin-

    ues unabated.

    Innocent girls are coerced into sexual

    relations with their teachers and are sadly

    left with fatherless children. Health

    professionals such as male nurses have

    recently made front page headlines in

    Limpopo and Eastern Cape for sexually

    preying on terminally-ill patients.

    In lieu of redeeming lost souls, a number

    of pastors is incarcerated for raping and

    indecently assaulting their congregants,

    while sangomas are behind bars for doing

    the same to those seeking spiritual

    guidance.

    Mido Macia, originally from Mozam-

    bique, was hand-cuffed to a police van and

    dragged along a stretch of road for parking

    his vehicle on the wrong side.

    He suffered severe injuries to his body

    that allegedly led to his death in police

    custody.

    Macia was a victim of nine male police

    officers stationed in Daveyton. The South

    African Anxiety Society has reported that

    60% of suicides are committed by men in

    the security cluster, particularly the

    police.

    Big up, to all women in these demanding

    professions who perform their duties

    immaculately. They remain committed to

    their professional ethics, not using stress

    and work-related pressure as an excuse for

    barbarism.

    As for Vavi, you dont sleep with a

    married woman and cry political conspira-

    cy! Consensual or not, you dare not

    dishonour somebodys wife like that and

    be diplomatic about it.

    To all men who have turned our beloved

    South Africa into a breeding ground for

    monsters, please refer to Michael Jack-

    sons 1991 hit song when he mellifluously

    sang Heal the world; make it a better

    place for you and for me and the entire

    human race.

    NAKA DROTS, the Toyota Cheetahs coach,

    believes that his side can bounce back after

    back-to-back defeats took the gloss off their

    opening-day win against the Golden Lions.

    The Cheetahs suffered their second loss of the

    Currie Cup Series at the hands of the Sharks in

    Bloemfontein last Friday, going down 15-18 in a

    closely contested affair. Before that fixture,

    Drotsks troops lost 14-15 to the Western Prov-

    ince in Cape Town a fortnight ago.

    The Cheetahs will be hoping to return to win-

    ning ways at the expense of the Griquas, whom

    they meet at the Free State Stadium on Satur-

    day.

    It is important not to let themood drop after

    such disappointing defeats. We will bounce

    back, because the spirit and focus in the team

    is good.We have to win all our home games and

    climb up the Currie Cup ladder. It is going to be

    a dog fight for all six teams.

    You are going to win close games, and you

    are going to lose close games, Drotsk told Ex-

    press. The Senekal-born mentor said the Chee-

    tahs had themselves to blame for Fridays loss.

    Tonight I thinkwe lost against ourselves.We

    made too many unforced errors where we had

    knock-ons on the attack. I thoughtwe played too

    literal as well. But full credit to the Sharks for

    defending well.

    We should have played more directly. In the

    first half we scored two tries by playing directly

    and, for some reason, in the second half we

    played more literally and were inept on the at-

    tack. That cost us the game in the end, a clearly

    disappointed Drotsk said.

    The coach attributed his sides failure to not

    scoring in the second half. Against the Western

    Province theCheetahs led 14-10 at the break, but

    theywenton to lose thematchby14-15. Ina simi-

    lar scenario, the Cheetahswere 15-13 up against

    the Sharks going into the half-time, but they al-

    lowed the visitors to register an 18-15 come-

    from-behind victory.

    This is a great concern for us. In all three

    games we had a comfortable lead at halftime

    two of them we lost in the last minutes. It is im-

    portant for us to score in both halves of the

    match to win games. We will fix that problem

    at the training sessions. The one thing we need

    to learn, is to know how to finish the games.

    All Currie Cup games are going to be 50/50

    calls. Those who want to finish first or second

    on the log need to know how to win these 50/50

    games.

    Kick-off, on Saturday against Griquas is

    scheduled for 15:00.

    EACH YEAR the Sasol New Signatures Art

    Artists have experimented with new media

    and multiple modes of expression to convey

    messages showing true innovation, lifting the

    quality of work received.

    For the past 24 years, Sasol, in partnership

    with the Association of Arts Pretoria, has

    played an influential role in unearthing artistic

    talent in South Africa through the New Signa-

    tures Competition. The competition allows en-

    their artistic signatures known.

    Thisyear,wealso sawan increase insubmis-

    and bring pertinent social, economic, political

    and psychological issues to the fore. With the

    awards ceremony steadily approaching, the

    judges had their work cut out for them as they

    chose the winning piece from a pool of 97 art-

    works, explained Peter Binsbergen, national

    MARK 10:28-30: Peter said to him, we

    have left everything to follow you. I tell you

    the truth, Jesus replied, on one who has left

    home or brothers or sisters or mother or

    father or children or fields for me and the

    gospel will fail to receive a hundred times

    as much in this present age homes, broth-

    ers, sisters, mothers, children and fields and

    with them, persecutions and in the age to

    come eternal life.

    Two things that Jesus sorted out for

    Peter. The first being the blessings to

    come to a person. The reward of what the

    person sacrificed in giving to Jesus and

    the gospel. This ranges from money,

    material possessions and relationships

    being sacrificed. Jesus said a hundred fold

    will be returned to the one who will

    sacrifice.

    These returns are far more than the

    person interested by giving it to Jesus and

    the gospel. The promise is as relevant as it

    makes it clear that it will be here on earth

    while living here on earth.

    The second promise that many does not

    want that runs with the blessing is

    persecutions.

    These persecutions which are mostly

    there in an unjust way. But they are there.

    You also need to understand that Jesus

    will not leave you if you are in that state

    where you are persecuted.

    He will help you, even if it seems like he

    is not there for you.

    You have to know that in everything,

    Jesus loves you. Nothing can change his

    love for you.

    Remember, he will always be with you

    and he will bless you.

    Godwill always bless you

    WE all would like to live in

    a better world. But how do

    we achieve it? The efforts by

    individuals and society,

    mainly based on a material-

    istic approach, have not

    been able to bring about a

    better world.

    The creation of a peaceful

    and just society, in which

    people of diverse back-

    ground cooperate and live in

    harmony, will require a

    re-orientation of individual

    and collective goals and

    transformation in attitudes

    and behaviours.

    According to the Bah

    Writings, the betterment of

    the world can be accom-

    plished through pure and

    goodly deeds, through

    commendable and seemly

    conduct.

    The emphasis is placed on

    purity of intention and

    sincerity, when one per-

    forms good deeds. That is

    when greatest results are

    achieved.

    One can hardly imagine

    what a great influence

    genuine love, truthfulness

    and purity of motives exert

    on the souls of men. But

    these traits cannot be

    acquired by any believer

    unless he makes a daily

    effort to gain them . . .,

    confirm the Bah Scrip-

    tures.

    Acquiring knowledge and

    insight into the Holy

    Writings is the first step

    towards personal transfor-

    mation, as studying the

    Creative Word of God in

    depth helps the individual

    to obtain a more adequate

    understanding of Gods

    Revelation and to translate

    these teachings into reality.

    The knowledge acquired

    is then applied to effect

    individual and collective

    transformation, leading to

    the betterment of the

    world.

    Bahullh says: O

    people of God! Do not busy

    yourselves in your own

    concerns; let your thoughts

    be fixed upon that which

    will rehabilitate the for-

    tunes of mankind and

    sanctify the hearts and

    souls of men.

    This can best be achieved

    through pure and holy deeds,

    through a virtuous life and a

    goodly behaviour.

    A moral person, therefore,

    would consciously and

    actively be engaged in

    performing actions that

    promote not only individual,

    but also social transforma-

    tion.

    God has given us free will

    and all human behaviour is

    an expression of our capaci-

    ty to choose and make

    decisions.

    We have the choice

    between justice and injustice

    and the power both to do

    good and to do evil.

    We have the capacity to

    override the needs of our

    lower nature in keeping with

    ethical requirements. We

    also have the capacity to

    control and channel our

    natural drives and urges and

    to transform them into

    human perfections.

    Our moral and spiritual

    advancement is crucial to

    our well-being in both this

    life and the next. As

    Bahullh counsels:

    Possess a pure, kindly and

    radiant heart, that thine may

    be a sovereignty ancient,

    imperishable and everlast-

    ing.

    Belief in the immortality

    of the soul and in an

    all-knowing judging God

    ought to provide us with

    sufficient motivation for

    moral conduct.

    According to the Bah

    Writings, to accept the

    Messenger of God in His

    time and to observe all the

    ordinances revealed by Him

    are the two inseparable

    duties which each soul is

    created to fulfil: . . . the

    UP-AND-COMING youngsters from the HTS

    Louis Botha will be given the opportunity to

    be coached by the former Golden Lions men-

    tor, John Mitchell.

    Mitchell, who is famous for guiding the

    Lions to Currie Cup victory, will descend on

    the HTS Louis Bothas sports grounds in

    Bloemfontein to put young rugby players

    through their paces today.

    Powerade, the official hydration sponsor of

    the Vodacom Super Rugby Series, commis-

    sioned Mitchell to devise a programme to help

    both school coaches and players to excel in the

    competitive and exciting game of rugby. He

    will impart his wealth of rugby knowledge and

    experience on coaches and players via the

    Powerade Performance Sessions.

    Mitchells programme is designed with

    Powerades Power Through philosophy in

    mind, giving coaches the necessary tools to

    develop their athletes. The philosophy focuses

    on finding strength, conviction and belief in

    those moments of low performance, self-doubt

    or discouragement.

    Trivern Chetty, brand manager of Sports

    and Energy at The Coca-Cola Company, said:

    It is the role of a coach to motivate, inspire

    as well as to provide useful information on

    training regimes to assist their athletes when

    facing challenges, which they will do at every

    level in their sport.

    He added: We want to inspire and motivate

    young individuals to make sure theymaintain

    their forward momentum and achieve their

    goals. We know that coaches also play the role

    of mentor and guidance counsellor and we

    want to empower coaches who will in turn

    inspire the players.

    The HTS Louis Botha was one of 40 schools

    from a total of 100 across the country that won

    a Powerade Performance Session with Mit-

    chell.

    Coaches that come into contact with

    Mitchell during these campaigns will also be

    able to stay up to date with peak performance

    by means of signing up for the communi-

    cations developed by the ex-All Blacks and Li-

    ons coach himself.

    A select group of coacheswill receive a train-

    ing tips newsletter twice a month from

    Mitchell. This communication will take the

    form of skills training content, pictures and

    links to video demonstrations from the ses-

    pate in.

    In total, Mitchell will teach approximately

    2 400 rugby players from 40 schools about what

    it takes to Power Through from school boy

    rugby to Super Rugby and beyond. He will be

    demonstrating new techniques, drills and give

    guidance on other performance related aspects

    of training, like hydration, before, during and

    after matches.

    Meanwhile, the rugby legend will have

    similar sessions in the Northern Cape at the

    Horskool Diamantveld and Northern Cape

    High School tomorrow and Friday

    respectively. All three sessions start at 15:00.

    BLOEMFONTEIN CELTIC have

    described todays Absa Premiership

    clash against Polokwane City at

    the Peter Mokaba Stadium in

    Polokwane as a must-win fixture to

    end their winless streak.

    This comes after Celtics poor

    start to the league campaign after

    losing 3-1 to Mamelodi Sundowns

    at home, before being bundled out

    of the lucrative MTN8 Cup by

    BidVest Wits who humbled the

    Mangaung side by 3-0.

    Phunya Sele Sele star Vuyani

    Ntanga said they wanted to win

    against City to boost their confi-

    dence ahead of the derby match

    against Free State Stars that will

    be played at the Free State Sta-

    dium on Sunday (15:00).

    We have recovered from those

    defeats and are now focusing on

    our game against City on Wednes-

    day. We are going to treat it like a

    cup final. We will settle for

    nothing else but a win, Ntanga

    said.

    It is important for us to start

    winning matches early in the

    season.

    Scoring and conceding goals

    have been our main problem, but

    we have rectified our mistakes at

    training.

    Well make sure that we score

    goals and keep it water-tight at the

    back, he added.

    Ntanga said their focus was not

    yet on the up-coming Free State

    Derby.

    We are taking one game at the

    time. Our focus is on City and

    well shift it to Stars after 90

    minutes. All I can say, is that we

    are determined to collect six points

    in a matter of days.

    Tonights match starts at 19:30.
