BETHLEHEM. – The community ofBohlokong near Bethlehem is enraged andwants answers from the executive mayor ofthe Dihlabeng Local Municipality, TjhetaneMofokeng.

Bohlokong has been one of the quietermunicipal districts, because its communitymembers normally shy away from servicedelivery protests. But not anymore.

This year alone, the Dihlabeng LocalMunicipality has witnessed one if not twoprotest marches. This time the Bohlokongcommunity promises a big march.

They will march to the municipalheadquarters of Friday and will hope for apositive response from the mayor, NkosiMafilos, the march organiser and theleader of Leihlo La Setjahaba Rainbow,said.

Mafilos told Express Eastern Free Statethat they were expecting about 5 000 peopleto join the march.

He said they had heard enough from themunicipality – a municipality for whichthe people did not come first.

“We have stayed quiet for a long timehoping they would come to us and do theright thing. We now need answers from themayor,” he said.

Mafilos said they had already submitted

a memorandum of demands to the Office ofthe Executive Mayor and added that onFriday they would be going there to get aresponse on what they had written in thememorandum.

“We have already given them ourmemorandum. We don’t just need answers– it has to be constructive feedback.

“If we are not happy with the answers,we will picket until they give us thecorrect answers,” he said.

Mafilos said they also wanted theappointment of the new municipal mangerto be reviewed. Among the demands listedon the memorandum were that they wantedthe criteria used to allocate the sites inVogelfontein to people from Selahliwe, aninformal Settlement in Bohlokong.

“People of Ward 6 who occupy the landillegally should be removed as per courtorder because it will be fruitless if they arenot removed. The expensive legal costs tohave them removed must also be coveredor paid for. We demand a report of theMasikhulume budget and expenses withimmediate effect.

“Conflict caused by the municipalitybetween church ministers by allocatingthem illegal sites such as community parksshould cease. The municipality shouldmake sure the issue is resolved,” thememorandum read.

PHUTHADITJHABA. – Crime is rife inthe Maluti-a-Phofung Local Municipality– especially in Qwaqwa.

This is a big concern to the munici-pality and the South African PoliceService (SAPS).

In making sure that crime is reducedwithin the municipality and that peoplecan walk freely on the street withoutfearing for their lives, the municipalityhas invested R40 million in closed-cir-cuit television (CCTV) cameras.

A total of 30 cameras was placed inKestell, Harrismith and Qwaqwa.Apparently these were installed in 2010,but they have not been working.

The system for the use of these CCTVcameras was launched on Tuesday atthe Fire Department in Mandela Park,Qwaqwa. Here a monitor showing livewhat is happening where is mounted.

According to Vusi Tshabalala, execu-tive mayor of the municipality, thecameras are aimed at helping to reducecrime, which is now out of control inthis municipal area.

“There are 30 cameras in Kestell,Qwaqwa and Harrismith. They wereinstalled mainly in the areas wherecrime is a concern,” Tshabalala said.

“We know that Freedom Square hasbeen turned into something which Idon’t want to talk about. You will find55-year-old men holding the hand of14-year-old girls.”

Tshabalala said he was happy thatthey had launched the CCTV system atthis time of the year.

“We know that crime always shootsup during the festive season, but webelieve that we will see very little thisyear and in many years to come.

“We will zoom in on the criminalsthis time and they will go to jail,” hesaid.

He said they were going to hire peopleto monitor the cameras.

They are planning three shifts of 20people per group, that adds up to 60people in total.

“We are going to spend more moneyto install more cameras. We want peopleto live freely in this municipality.

“We are going to work together withthe SAPS. We are looking forward tosigning a memorandum of understand-ing (MOU) with them,” Tshabalala said.

Thulani Ntuli, the station commanderat the Phuthaditjhaba Police Station,said the criminals would surely leaveQwaqwa to do their dirty businesselsewhere.

“We as the SAPS commit ourselves todeploy strategically, because now wehave an area of action where we knowthat criminals will be spotted. We willcombat crime,” said Ntuli.

“This is an extension of communitypolicing. Thank you for a great invest-ment.”

Ntuli said they would work togetheras a cluster in making sure the systemwas being used effectively.

“We will send police members whowill always be vigilant,” Ntuli said.

BETHLEHEM. – Regardless of thechallenges and criticism that theThabo Mofutsanyana Mining Associa-tion faced, it stood firm and now ithas graduated.

It is now called the Free StateMining Association.

According to Lerato Mofokeng,chairperson, they changed the nameafter they had received many propos-als from business people within theprovince. She said they got calls frompeople in Welkom and Bloemfonteinasking to be accommodated.

“We could not believe it whenpeople turned out in numbers, askingto join. They told us they had readabout the association in ExpressEastern Free State. However, they feltthat they could not join an associa-tion which was only based in ThaboMofutsanyana. They requested us toaccommodate other municipalities,”Mofokeng said.

“We knew that it was not going tobe easy, but we were up for thechallenge.”

Mofokeng said after those inquiriesthey had gone out to meet therelevant people in making the requesta reality.

“We are going to meet with othermunicipalities soon to map the wayforward. We have also invitedMsebenzi Zwane, MEC for EconomicDevelopment, Environmental Affairsand Tourism.”

Mofokeng said she was over-whelmed that the association hadgrown under her leadership.

MAKWANE. – Problems of a poor accessroad to the three neighbouring schools anda clinic in Qholaqhwe, Qwaqwa, are thingsof the past.

This came after the Thabo MofutsanyanaDistrict Municipality completed the projectof upgrading it to a paved road.

The three schools, Qholaqhwe Interme-diate, Lerato Junior Phase and MathaboSenior Secondary, border this road.

Malefu Vilakazi, the Thabo MofutsanyanaDistrict executive mayor, officially launchedthe road recently and handed it over to theMaluti-a-Phofung Local Municipality.

The handing-over ceremony was held inthe Qholaqhwe Intermediate School hall andit was preceded by the cutting of the ribbonat the newly-paved road. The Maluti-a-Pho-fung Local Municipality’s executive mayorwas represented by a member of theMayoral Committee (MMC) for women,children and people living with disability,Masetjhaba Lakaje.

The handover of the road was accompa-nied by the donation of laptops to threeschools as part of the social responsibilityprogramme and empowering of schools witheducational facilities.

Handing over the road, Vilakazi said asthe district municipality they were gratefulthat the project was also able to create jobsfor local people.

“A total of 28 people, which comprised 13adult males, two adult females, one maleyouth and 12 female youths, were employedin the projects,” she said.

The executive mayor stressed that thecompletion of the road was another indica-tor that the government delivered and thatit cared for its own citizens.

Lakaje said as the local municipality theywere happy that a priority need had beenmet through the construction and comple-tion of the road.

“We appreciate the work done by theThabo Mofutsanyana District Municipalityin assisting its own local municipalities. We

are also delighted at the work done by thecontractor who took less than a year tocomplete this road,” she said.

One of the principals, who received alaptop on behalf of his school, I. Mosethe ofthe Qholaqhwe Intermediate School, ex-pressed his joy at the completion of the roadand also for the donation of the laptop to hisschool and two other neighbouring schools.

He said the newly-paved road would makelife easier for them as teachers and learners.

He said it was always a hassle to come toschool on rainy days.

“Sometimes a child would faint at schooland it would be a challenge to rush thechild to the clinic or home because of theroad. But now we are happy at this achieve-ment by our government,” said Mosethe.

The Qholaqhwe road was upgraded from agravel road to brick-block paving by themunicipality to the tune of R6,2 million.

The road was upgraded with 1,5 km

brick-block paving and the surface standardincluded the following:

) Horizontal and vertical alignment of theroad in order to eliminate dangerous areas.) Improvement of the road surface byadding pavement layers and brick blocks.) Improvement of the drainage facilitiesthrough construction of concrete-linedchannels and drifts.) Road markings and finisher.

New road will make life much easier

THIBELLA. – “Stars are created toshine, even when the clouds are there,but they will keep on fighting to shine.”That was the motivation from Malefet-

sane “Nnake” Mtshali of the MasemolaMemorial United Church to the ThibellaIntermediate School award winnersduring the awards ceremony at theThibella Community Hall last Thursday.Mtshali said winning an award should

mean a lot to everyone and added thatthat should not be taken lightly becauseit was achieved through hard work.Moeketsi Potsane, the principal, said

he was very happy that they had hostedthe awards ceremony regardless of thechallenges they were faced with at theschool.Potsane said the annual awards

ceremony was aimed at motivatinglearners.“We believe that this will play a

pivotal role in their examination. I amsure they will all be hoping for the bestwhen we issue them with their reportcards at the end of the year,” he said.He said he wanted to thank all the

parents for their support throughout theyear.“We have been without a Natural

Sciences teacher for a month now butthe parents never complained. Someteachers have retired and we could notdepend on them. But through thesupport of the other teaching staff andparent, we have made it thus far,” hesaid.Malakoane Dineo (13), a gr. 7 learner,

said she was very happy to be one of theaward winners.“My secret is to keep quiet and read

my books. I know if I do that I will havereason to celebrate later. My advice tomy fellow learners is that they shouldmake friends with their books. They willreap what they sow,” she said.

parents for this success,” Maya said.When asked why he took the graduation to

the Basotho Cultural Village, he said that theschool wanted to offer an experience.“We took this ceremony to the Basotho

Cultural Village because we wanted topromote tourism. It was the first experienceof this venue to some of the parents, as they

have never come here before. They alwayspay for kids and forget about themselves. Wewanted them to bond with their kids. Also,to have a chance to discuss their children’sperformance with educators.”Maya said they wanted to build a great

partnership between parents and educators.“If we could manage that, we know that

learners would perform at their best atschool, knowing that there would be no roomfor lying since the parents would have accessto communicate straight with the teachers.”Malonya Mofokeng, one of the parents,

said she was very happy to witness herdaughter graduating.“I am so happy with the initiative of the

FREE STATE STARS may hire MilutinSredojevic as their new head coach.Ea Lla Koto parted ways with the

Belgian Tom Saintfiet recently aftermanagement became increasingly con-cerned with what they described as a“string of poor results”.In fact, KickOff.com first reported in

June about the Serbian possibly joiningStars, but Saintfiet got the nod in theend.However, Sredojevic, who currently

coaches the Ugandan national team, isback in the picture as far as the Stars jobis concerned, and with his contract withUganda coming to an end in December, he

is apparently in a position to accept Stars’offer.“Initially, they wanted him at the

beginning of the season, but at that timehe wanted to focus on coaching Ugandaand qualifying for the 2015 Afcon, butthings have changed since then becauseUganda failed to qualify,” a source toldKickOff.com.“They are talking to him at the moment

so there is a good chance he may join FreeState Stars,” he added.Stars’ general manager, Rantsi Mokoena,

was not available for comment.Kinnah Phiri is currently coaching the

side. – KickOff.com

BETHLEHEM. – The struggling Free StateStars travel to Port Elizabeth to hunt forthree points against a dangerous ChippaUnited side in the Absa Premiershipencounter today at the Nelson MandelaBay Stadium.The kick-off is at 19:30.The two teams go to this encounter with

fresh wounds after they both suffered adefeat in the weekend encounters.Ea Lla Koto were walloped 2-0 by

Bidvest Wits at the Bidvest Stadium onSaturday night, while Chippa United werenarrowly beaten 1-0 by Bloemfontein Celticat the Free State Stadium on Sundayafternoon.The Bethlehem outfit are sitting third

from the bottom of the log, a positionwhich they are no stranger to.Last season, Stars flirted with relegation

for the better part of the campaign andthey needed to win their last match of theseason against Moroka Swallows to avoidthe dreaded axe.The Mike Mokoena-owned side has

collected 11 points after 11 games.As for Chippa they will be hoping to add

more misery to Stars and surely theywould not like to lose two games in a row,especially on their home turf.

The Eastern Cape side started the seasonlike a house on fire beating the likes ofOrlando Pirates and holding the free-spending Mamelodi Sundowns to a draw.They are currently sitting on positionseven on the log table with 17 points afteras many games.They trail log leaders Kaizer Chiefs by

12 points.Tonight’s clash will be the second game

for caretaker coach Kinnah Phiri, whotook over from Tom Saintfiet who wasfired a fortnight ago following a string ofpoor results.Phiri previously had coaching stints at

Stars. He was roped in last season to helpthe side avoid relegation after ThembaSithole had failed to notch up positiveresults.The Malawian succeeded in his mission.

It remains to be seen whether he can wavehis magic wand again.

Stars out for pointsMOEKETSI SEKOLA, the Free State Stars player in red, will be hoping to score goals and help his team to come home with three points when they lock horns with Chippa Unitedin the Absa Premiership League encounter today at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

The Bethlehem outfit aresitting third from the bot­tom of the league, a posi­tion which they are nostranger to.
