FREE STATE premier Ace Ma-
gashule giveth andhe taketh away.
Ten days ago, Magashule told con-
gregants of the Tyrannus Apostolic
Church one of the countrys big-
gest that they now owned land
in Bethlehem.
Magashule was speaking to a
packed Botshabelo Stadium during
a church service.
The church has been trying to se-
cure the Wolhuterskop Nature Re-
serve in Bethlehem as a permanent
home and has already been given
permission by the Dihlabeng Muni-
cipality to use this site for services.
Magashules rapturously re-
ceived statement which Expresss
parent paper Volksblad wit-
nessed last Sunday suggest-
ed the churchs battle was at an end.
But now he has backtracked, tell-
ing sister publication City Press
over the weekend that he was mere-
ly announcing the arrange-
ment that allowed the church to
use the reserve for its services.
Magashule said: They have been
requesting to use the land. I was told
that, in my absence, there is a
process to let them use it while we
are looking at whether it is possible
to finally give them the land as a
church.
There isnt anything tangible
that has been signed. There will be
further discussions among all
spheres of government. They dont
want it for free. I dont understand
what the big fuss is about.
He said part of the land was
municipal and the rest was owned
by the Department of Public Works.
All the time people make diffe-
rent requests. We also assist them.
This church deals with issues of
womenabuse andpoverty.Weare in
partnership with not only them but
the Zion Christian Church, the
Muslims and the Methodists.
He confirmed making the
announcement last Sunday, but
said: I simply announced the ar-
rangement. We havent signed any-
thing.Any landdisposal has to come
to me as premier.
Dihlabeng Mayor Tjhetane Mofo-
keng said he was not aware of any
ownership deal with the Tyrannus
Apostolic Church.
I can neither confirm nor deny
whether the municipality has sold
the land to the church, said Mofo-
keng.
I didnt attend the church event
(last Sunday).
Magashule, a number of Free
State MECs and Public Enterprises
Minister Malusi Gigaba were
among those who attended the
event, which formed part of the
churchs three-day youth confer-
ence.
Magashule, Lesotho Prime Minis-
ter Tom Thabane and the churchs
leader, Apostle Simon Mokoena,
were seated on gold-encrusted
chairs on the stage.
After the sermons, fireworkswere
set off from the stage.
Magashule used his time at the
podium for a spot of politicking as
well as landmatters he encouraged
the congregation to vote ANC in
next years national election.
Mokoena, clad in a blue and gold
suit, thanked Magashule for his
sterling leadership and support of
the church.

New system introduced
}
Lesego Ditheko
A NEW parking system is
now in operation in Bloem-
fonteins central business
district.
Announced by Mangaung
metro mayor Thabo Manyo-
ni on 24 July, the systems
brightly coloured parking
marshals have already
started working at the
beginning of this month.
Manyoni said he expected
the system to assist the city
in reducing crime and theft
from parked vehicles and to
eliminate informal parking
attendants who often
harassed motorists.
An added benefit, Manyo-
ni said, was the expected
increase in free traffic flow
in the CBD.
Galebotsa Seekoei and
Tebogo Mphatseng are two
such marshals who operate
in Charlotte Maxeke and St
Andrew Street.
The pair told Express that
before the new system had
been introduced, they had
already spent 13 years
working as parking mar-
shals in the Bloemfontein
CBD.
At times over the years
we would make just enough
in a day for the taxi ride
home, Mphatseng said.
He said given the fact that
they would now be receiving
a salary, they foresaw their
lives changing for the better.
When it comes to
motorists, some are coopera-
tive, while some display a
negative attitude towards us.
Well now be getting
salaries at the end of the
month and thus will be able
to provide for our families,
Galebotsa said.
Mphatseng said he was
excited to be one of the
people who had been
recognised by the municipal-
ity after doing what he had
loved to do for over a
decade.
Im excited because now
not only will I be officially
working for the municipali-
ty, but Ill also be able to
put food on the table for my
family, Mphatseng said.
Motorist Molehe Mosala
said he would cooperate
with the marshals.
The system is working. It
looks professional and I
believe my car will be safer
compared to before the
system was introduced, as
the previous marshals used
to break into our cars and
nobody could be held
accountable, Molehe told
Express.
When a motorist parks
their vehicle, the licence
plate will be scanned and
when the motorist leaves, it
will be scanned again and
will automatically count the
time.
Motorists can insist on a
receipt.
Qondile Khedama,
spokesperson for the
Mangaung Metro, advised
motorists to adhere to the
new traffic regulations in
the city.
)According to the munici-
pality the system is due to
be rolled out to Botshabelo
and Thaba Nchu soon.

PACOFS, in collaboration with the Market
Theatre, brings the celebrated production
Woza Albert! to the Andr Huguenet
Theatre from 20 to 24 August as part of
the Market Theatres country-wide tour of
regional venues, thanks to the Department
of Arts and Cultures Mzanzi Golden
Economy funding.
I am delighted that the department has
made it possible for the Market Theatre to
tour this amazing production. This is
reminiscent of an era in which produc-
tions were staged in church halls, school
halls and community centres and it allows
communities to engage with theatre in
their spaces, Annabell Lebethe, CEO of
the Market Theatre Foundation, told
Express.
Woza Albert! is one of the plays for
which South African theatre is best known
internationally.
Its physical style of storytelling is to
inspire and influence theatre companies
around the world, and it is one of the best
examples that define South African theatre
in all its vibrancy, innovation and human-
ity, Lethebe said.
This celebrated and much-loved South
African classic asks what would happen if
Jesus Christ (Morena) came back to South
Africa during apartheid.
This lively satire of the absurdities of
apartheid provides a showcase for the
talents of two dexterous actors, who play a
range of ordinary characters on the
street, she explained.
Written by Percy Mtwa, Mbongeni
Ngema and Barney Simon, the first part of
the play sets the scene, attacking the pass
laws that prevented black South Africans
from moving and working freely.
Similarly, it sketches in a few short
minutes the semi-slavery that was imposed
on manual workers by bosses who could
fire them if they got too independent.
The second half of the play becomes
considerably darker and more resonant.
Now Jesus is in the country and his life is
replayed in the apartheid context.
He is first welcomed then imprisoned.
When he is taken to Robben Island, his
escape is easy as He walks back across the
bay to Cape Town.
This retelling of a familiar story in a
new context becomes devastating by the
end, shedding light on both the Bible and
apartheid South Africa.
Cast members of the play are well-
known Mncedisi Baldwin Shabangu and
Peter Mashigo.
The show is a must-attend to all theatre
lovers as it is very educational. It is
directed by Prince Lamla.
Bookings are made through Pacofs.
Tickets range between R30 (pensioners and
learners) and R60.

TODAY is D-day and marks exactly two
weeks since angry parents of learners of
the Tjhebelopele Combined School in
Phase 6, Bloemfontein, had threatened to
keep their children from school unless the
principal was removed permanently.
The parents gave the principal, Charlton
Sondiyazi, a fortnight to leave the school
after they had staged a protest at the
school.
Police were called to the scene and the
parents dispersed peacefully.
At the beginning of the year Express
published a story about Sondiyazi who had
been accused by some teachers, parents
and school governing body members of
running the school in a dictatorial manner.
Although an investigation was launched
into the matter after the story had first
been published in February, the depart-
ment told Express on Monday that the
investigation had not been concluded yet.
One of the parents Express spoke to on
the scene said it was not only the parents
who disliked the principal, but the learn-
ers too.
My daughter is in gr. R and already she
hates the principal because he swears at
them, said the mother who wished to
remain anonymous for fear of her child
being victimised.
According to the parents, when they
requested to have a meeting with Sondiya-
zi, he had told them to leave his school
premises because his school yard was not
Hoffman Square in the Bloemfontein CBD.
We dont want Sondiyazi here. He said
he would bewitch us as parents and our
kids by throwing lightening at us. He must
go or well take our kids out of this
school, Ditsietsi Botsane, one of the
parents, said.
Angry parents also told Express the
principal demanded R2 every Friday from
the children irrespective of whether they
(the parents) worked or not.
We dont even know what the R2 is for
because the classrooms are dirty, another
parent said.
When asked when last a parents
meeting was held at the school, the
parents told Express that no parents
meetings had been held after Sondiyazi
had become principal.
They also said they had thus far only
received their childrens March school
reports.
Howard Ndaba, Free State Education
Department spokesperson, said learners
had received their reports late because of
a faulty computer system. It had taken
longer than anticipated to reboot the
system and reload the learners informa-
tion.
The department can confirm the
principal, Sondiyazi, has been cross-trans-
ferred with a principal of the Nzame
Primary School, Ndaba said.
Asked about the saga at a different
event, Tate Makgoe, Free State Education
MEC, advised the parents to write a letter
to him directly detailing the situation.
Makgoe said he had not been aware of
the situation.

DESPITE visible improvements in
the last few decades to ensure equal
education and other rights for the
girl-child, various forms of discrimi-
nation against girls still persist.
Currently over 120 million
children do not have access to basic
education. Of these approximately
60% are girls. By age 18, girls would
have received an average of 4,4 years
less education than boys.
Development and education of
every child, their personality,
talents,mental andphysical abilities
and spiritual qualities to their fullest
potential, is the right of every child.
Education of girls is not only a
human right. It is also in the best
interests of society as a whole.
According to a statement from the
Universal House of Justice, the
governing council of the Bah in-
ternational community: The cause
of universal education . . . deserves
the utmost support that the govern-
ments of the world can lend it. For
ignorance is indisputably the princi-
pal reason for the decline and fall of
peoples and the perpetuation of
prejudice. No nation can achieve
success unless education is accorded
all its citizens.
The decision-making agencies in-
volved would do well to consider
giving first priority to the education
of women and girls, since it is
through educated mothers that the
benefits of knowledge can be most
effectively and rapidly diffused
throughout society.
As girls andboys are equal in intel-
lectual capacity and in potential to
serve humanity, girls and boys
should study the same curriculum.
The way should be open for women
and girls to enter all spheres of hu-
man endeavour, including the arts
and sciences, agriculture, com-
merce, industry and the affairs of
state. There is no natural limit on
womens abilities.
Girlsmust be educated spiritually,
emotionally and intellectually be-
cause a mother cannot pass on what
she does not have. A child needs a
nurturing environment and wise
guidance particularly in the first
years of life in order to develop
sound character and a well-trained
mind.
As the Bah Writings state: If
themother is educated then her chil-
dren will be well taught. When the
mother is wise, then will the chil-
dren be led into the path of wisdom.
If the mother be religious she will
show her children how they should
love God.
If the mother is moral she guides
her little ones into the ways of up-
rightness. Divine justice demands
that the rights of both sexes should
be equally respected since neither is
superior to the other in the eyes of
heaven. Dignity before God depends,
not on sex, but on purity and lumi-
nosity of heart.
Our challenge today is how to cre-
ate the conditions in which girls can
develop to their full potential. The
creation of such conditions will in-
volve not only deliberate attempts to
change in various structures of soci-
ety, but, equally important, in the
transformation of individuals

THE first major steps towards a paperless
lecture environment for the School of Medi-
cine at the University of the Free State (UFS)
was launched last month with the presenta-
tion of laptops to all first-year medical stu-
dents.
The aim is to have the entire undergradu-
ate Medical programme computer-driven
within a few years and to get rid of paper in
the classroom.
Prof. Pieter Nel, programme director:
Health Sciences at the school in the Faculty
of Health Sciences, said: As far as we know,
this action is the first of its kind in anymedi-
cal school in South Africa whereby an entire
class are supplied with computers for this
purpose.
We also have no knowledge of anything
similar in any programme within any
other faculty at any university in South
Africa.
All first-year medical students received
laptops.
The UFS is facilitating the process to pro-
vide students with computer access via their
own laptops.
The reason for this is that theundergradu-
ate health sciences programme will be com-
pletely computerised from now on. Students
will therefore utilise their laptops in all their
contact sessions.
The entire building where teaching takes
place is equipped with Wi-Fi. The students
buy the laptops at amuch lower cost than the
commercial price.
Nel said the printing costs of study materi-
al during a students undergraduate study
years could amount to as much as R5 000.
In future, first-year students will receive
laptops, computerising the entire undergrad-
uate health sciences programmewithin a few
years, Nel said.
During thepresentationof the first laptops,
Prof. Gert van Zyl, dean of the Faculty of
Health Sciences, referred to this action as
a big step forward in modernising the un-
dergraduate training of medical students in
the faculty.

ADV. SEPHIRI MOSHODI, Free State CPF
chairperson:
AS the Free State Community Policing Fo-
rum (CPF) we wish to join Pres. Jacob Zuma,
the premier of the Free State and the entire
South African Police Service (SAPS) manage-
ment in condemning in the strongest terms the
scourge of crime happening in our communi-
ties.
The killing of vulnerable, defenceless elder-
ly people and women and children needs to be
dealtwith head-on andwe call upon all the peo-
ple of the Free State to heed the clarion call
by the premier Ace Magashule and Butana
Khompela, MEC for Police, Roads and Trans-
port, in exposing these ruthless criminal ele-
ments that are hell bent onhijacking our town-
ships and streets through the victimisation of
innocent communities.
The emergence of gangsters in areas such
as Botshabelo, Kutlwanong, Meloding and
Thaba Nchu cannot be left unchallenged.
The Free State CPF calls upon all our com-
munities to join CPF structures in their locali-
ties so as to make it difficult for criminals to
operate.
The recent merciless killings, rapes and
molestation of the elderly, women and chil-
dren must be confronted with themight that
displays a high level of public participation in
all CPF-related activities in the Free State.
The recently held Provincial Crime Preven-
tion Summit graced by Police Minister Nathi
Mthethwa and national police commissioner,
Gen. Riah Phiyega, as well as Magashule and
his entire cabinet, demonstrates the serious-
ness with which the government views crime
in our country.
The launching of the Provincial Crime Pre-
vention Strategy in the Free State by Ma-
gashule in July is a further indication of how
serious and determined the Free State govern-
ment is in tackling issues relating to crime in
the province.
Themere presence of bothMaggie Sotyu, the
deputy minister of Police, and Phiyega serves
as a further demonstration on the part of the
national government and its strategic stake-
holders that fighting crime in partnership is
the most viable strategy to eradicate crime in
our communities and neighbourhoods.
The Free State CPF therefore calls and ex-
tends a hand of invitation to all our traditional
leaders, church leaders and the business com-
munity to join government in the fight against
crime and also condemns the recent killing of
Teboho Kapoko at an initiation school in Kutl-
wanong, Odendaalsrus.
Those who wish to work for a safer, crime-
free environment in the Free State are urged
to visit their nearest police station to enquire
about CPF-related activities including its pro-
grammesand to obtain informationabout join-
ing the CPF.

THE Chevrolet Ute Force last week
announced its partnership with
Dreamfields, a soccer development
project focused on uplifting commu-
nities across South Africa.
As part of theirmarriage, the Inde-
structible Spirit Project was born
and it was officially launched at
Petrusburg and Botshabelo on
Tuesday and Thursday respectively.
Altogether 20 schools, 300 primary
school pupils in gr. 4 to 7 and 35
teachers will benefit from this
project inspired by the global One
World Futbol Campaign.
We believe that soccer is a team
sport and that teams build better
schools. Our dream is to provide
resources for playing soccer in town-
ships and rural schools across South
Africa, John Perlman, radio per-
sonality and Dreamfields founder,
said.
The AJC Jooste Combined School
in Petrusburg will be home to a 13-
school Intra Soccer League that will
see 160 boys and girls from the local
community participating in regular
training sessions and matches.
Further support will be provided
by an additional nine teachers being
part of a soccer coach training
course.
This training will enable them to
mentor and groom the young players
to become South Africas future
soccer champions and leaders.
The second leg of the project
included the support of the 8-school,
210-pupil Intra Soccer League man-
aged from the Phano Intermediate
School in Botshabelo.
It is essential that the project is
100% sustainable and supported by
the local community. The purpose of
the Chevrolet Ute Force initiative is
to lend assistance and build commu-
nities via youth focused projects
they are after all the future leaders,
soccer champions and change-mak-
ers of our country, Tim Hendon,
brand manager of Chevrolet SA,
said.
Perlman said he believed that
sport helped create better schools
and build stronger communities.
The schools that will be home to
the two leagues have principals who
are truly committed to providing a
nurturing environment for their pu-
pils to learn and play in spite of the
budgetary constraints they face,
reiterated Perlman. Meanwhile, the
budding sports stars from both
leagues were given access to donate
soccer kits such as soccer balls,
boots, clothing and training equip-
ment to their communities.
