TRAFFIC OFFICERS will no longer

conduct road blocks without police

assistance, Police, Roads and Trans-

port MEC, Butana Komphela, recent-

ly announced.

Komphela said this initiative

would not only lessen the level of

bribes between drivers and traffic of-

ficers, but would also improve safety

measures during road blocks.

Komphela was speaking during the

launch of the 2013 October Transport

MonthCampaign at thePresidentHo-

tel in Bloemfontein.

He admitted that corruptionwithin

the Traffic Department was rife and

cited it as one of the major causes of

road fatalities.

People who cant drive, buy driv-

ers licences and cause accidents, he

said.

Recently the department revealed

that 80% of the traffic fines issued in

the province were scrapped by the

courts due to bad handwriting or fail-

ure to fill in traffic fines properly by

traffic officers.

The department had considered of-

fering traffic officers a refreshers

course to improve their writing

skills. The MEC urged traffic officers

towrite slowerandproperly toensure

successful prosecution by the courts.

You are not filling in a medical

prescription; you are filling in a

charge sheet, he said.

The department also revealed that

the dormant Mangaung Taxi Rank

wouldbeoperational in thenext three

weeks.

According to Komphela, issues be-

tween the taxi associations and the

Mangaung Metro Municipality re-

garding the rank have been ironed

out.

Thedepartment said itwouldnotbe

lenient to driverswithout proper doc-

uments and those bending traffic

laws.With the festiveseason looming,

the department said it has budgeted

R3,5 million for its road and safety

campaign.

Head of department, SandileMsibi,

said government was spending bil-

lions to compensate roadaccidentvic-

tims.

This money can be used to build

houses, drivers should need a serious

mindset, Msibi concluded.

IN CHARGE: It was announced onMonday that Germanborn ErnstMid

dendorp is Bloemfontein Celtics new head coach. Middendorp takes

over from Clinton Larsen who resigned following the teams loss to

Mamelodi Sundowns in the Telkom Knockout Cup competition. What

at road blocks

Campaign aimed at reducing bribes

NO WAY THROUGH: Free State Police MEC, Butana Komphela, has an

BOLTON WANDERERS FC will offer five

young Free State football talents the

opportunity of a lifetime.

Tshegofatso Mabaso, Mpho Molelekoa,

Tyrone Mondi, Tubatsi Motaung and Vuyo

Tshoba were selected out of 40 young

footballers at HTS Louis Botha and will

benefit from a partnership between Bolton

Wanderers FC and the Free State Tourism

Authority, managed by Sim Sport Interna-

tional.

This year marks the third of the partner-

ship, which annually scouts for youngsters

in the Free State to represent South Africa

at the Grand Skills Finals in England later

this month.

Danny Clarke, one of the academy

coaches at Wanderers, said they were

impressed by the potential of players in the

Free State.

We had a great time with the youngsters.

We saw a lot of enthusiasm; energy and

some of them have real potential. We are

glad to work with the Free State Tourism

Authority to contribute our bit to ensuring

that young people in South Africa get the

benefit of superior training, Clark told

Express.

Its important that they are exposed to

these drills at a young age as that can now

form the basis for their future develop-

ment.

The five Free Staters will get a chance to

visit and train at Boltons world-class

facilities. They will prove that South

African football talent is growing and that

the future of the national team is in good

hands.

Im happy about my selection. I think I

was selected because I worked hard on

things I learned from the UK last year.

Hopefully I will impress the Wanderers

scouts at the Grand Skills Finals this time

around, said Mondi, of Brebner, who has

been selected to go to the United Kingdom

for a second successive year.

Meanwhile, Mabaso said he was looking

forward to going to England.

Im over the moon about this opportuni-

ty to go to Bolton. I believe it will open

doors for me. Ive been playing football

since I was very young. My dream is to

play for an overseas club one day. Being

selected to go and train with Bolton is the

beginning of greater things to come, he

said.

The Bolton Wanderers Academy is

certified with the Elite status of the English

Premier League. Last season Boltons u.18

team finished above the likes of Tottenham,

Liverpool, Arsenal while their u.11 team

won the International Festival ahead of

Barcelona and Ajax Amsterdam.

The Barclays Premiership side sends out

scouts and coaches to find the best 40 young

players for their Grand Skills Programme

every year. They visit Nigeria, Canada,

Colombia, Australia, America and many

other countries to find the top players.

ALBINISM is only a lack of skin col-

our pigmentation and there really is

nothing special about that.

However, due to the lack of knowl-

edge in the community, albinism is

treated like a scourge and challenges

are often faced by people with albi-

nism.

For one young lady, however, with

all the myths pertaining to albinism,

it was different. PalesaMosiea decid-

ed to change the negativity she expe-

rienced growing up and being teased

for her skin colour, into a positive.

Though it was tough walking in

the streets and finding people staring

at you in discomfort, I managed to

grow and make them accept who I

am.

I remember one day in std 1, I told

oneofmywhite schoolmates that the

difference between me and her was

that I had the best of both worlds,

said Mosiea.

Mosiea grew up in Qwaqwa with

three other siblings from both par-

ents, but unfortunately her father,

NthatisiMosiea, passed away in 1991

when she was six.

It became difficult for the four chil-

dren to be brought up by a single par-

ent, but fortunately her aunt, Virgin-

ia Mosiea, and her grandmother,

Manthatisi Mosiea, took her in and

raised her.

I realised that things were start-

ing to be difficult and this gave me

a reason to aim high, said Mosiea,

who also said this was the timewhen

her interest in public speaking was

sparked.

Her interest and commitment

were so high that in her last year of

high school she entered the Sowetan

AngloAmericanYoungCommunica-

tors Awards and won.

With themoney she hadwon in the

competition,Mosiea said, shepacked

up and moved to Pretoria where she

enrolled at theUniversity of Pretoria

for a degree in Marketing.

I studied Marketing for only a

year and the following year I

changed and studied International

Communications. During that year,

thanks to the award that I won, I was

given the opportunity to write for

True Lovemagazines sister publica-

tionTrue LoveBabe, for a yearwhere

I wrote feature articles, said

Mosiea.

This gave her the platform and op-

portunity to receive vast recognition

from outside.

Her achievement kept on blossom-

ing she received the Student Life

HonoraryAward for her outstanding

achievement, participating as a pub-

lic practitioner in the schools debat-

ing society.

She also become the assistant di-

rector and chairperson of the drama

society as well as hosting her own af-

ternoondrive time showonTshwane

FM.

After the completion of her intern-

ship year in 2007, she was head-hunt-

ed by Blackie Sewes Robs Boxing

Promotion company to promote box-

ing in the province.

Within the first sixmonths shewas

appointed as the general manager

and the company scooped the Pro-

moter of the Year Award by Boxing

South Africa as well as International

Promoter of the Year Award by the

World Boxing Federation.

Under her achievements as amoti-

vational speaker, Mosiea also proud-

ly mentors a young lady of the St

Michaels High School, Zinhle Nova-

zi, who became Sowetans Young

Communicator Award winner last

year and the second Free Stater to

win after nine years.

by her albinism

RECENTLY I experienced the downside of

being a white South African, possibly for

the first time in my life.

I was in Germany, attending an interna-

tional student conference on sustainable

universities along with 80 other students

from 35 countries.

By now I was used to being questioned

why I am so white if I am in fact from

South Africa. Europeans seem to live in the

middle ages when it comes to African

demographics, but I have never before been

called a racist, least of all based on where I

come from.

I am reported to be a born-free. (Techni-

cally not, as I was born a mere 13 days

before the 1994 elections.)

I am part of the privileged generation

that does not see colour and does not

know what it means to not be free, except

from the limited views of our school history

books.

Never in my life have I been discriminat-

ed against, and never have I been denied an

opportunity because of either my race or

my gender, or any other defining character-

istic. Perhaps this has made me compla-

cent.

Someone once said that we can never

truly know freedom unless we know what it

means to be oppressed.

A personal hero, Steve Biko, made

mention of the term white privilege. This

is used in part to describe the inability to

empathise with the oppressed, because of

lack of experience and understanding.

We are told that we are part of the born

free- generation. But how can we know the

difference? Are we doomed to not appreci-

ate our freedom from lack of experience of

the opposite?

Steve Bikos philosophy was in essence

that the physiological chains imposed by

Apartheid are much more detrimental than

the actual oppression of a political regime.

His thoughts were universal and timeless.

The oppression of the mind still haunts

many South Africans.

This is perhaps the biggest difference

between my generation and those before us:

we are (mostly) free of psychological

oppression.

Despite the fact that in the worlds eyes,

it seems, we cannot abandon the image that

300 years of colonialist rule and 46 years of

racial segregation policy has burdened us

with.

In Germany, I had an interesting conver-

sation with a student from Egypt.

In response to her stories of cultural

oppression in her home country, I told her

(as I always tell people who ask about

South Africa) that people of my generation

are the flag-bearers of multiculturalism,

but it has nothing to do with our constitu-

tion or South African politics.

Its simply because we are free to form

our own ideas about people, unlike our

parents and grandparents who were

taught how to think about race.

In Steve Bikos biography by Xolela

Mangcu, Geoff Budlender states it exqui-

sitely: Our democratic Constitution did

not bring social reform; it merely created

one of the necessary prerequisites for the

transformation that still needs to take

place.

The next part of the process is in my

generations hands.

The immense challenges posed by

economic inequality fall to us to be

solved. Especially in Stellenbosch, we

cannot ignore the problem much longer:

we are part of one of the most unequal

societies in the world.

This time around we are able to

experience and understand, and possibly

within our lifetime we may be able to

bring social justice to millions living in

poverty and rescue our failing educational

system.

Being born free has nothing to do with

politics in our country or having the

freedom to cast a vote. Its about having

the freedom to think. And Id like to

believe that we are a lot better off than

we think.

*Emily van der Merwe is a born-free

student at the University of Stellenbosch

(US) and wrote this article in light of

Diversity Week celebrated at the univer-

sity from 30 September 30 to 4 October.

THREE German pupils of the Tsoseletso

High School jetted off to Germany last

night.

Kagisho Tlhatlogi, Makhethe Sempe and

Letshego Makgwe will spend 12 weeks in

Europe on a student exchange programme.

They will experience lifestyle and educa-

tional programmes in a foreign country.

This is an annual exchange programme

we started back in 2006 when we sent two

German learners to Germany. Since then

we have been sending two, three or four

pupils to Germany every year, Elna van

Rensburg, the German teacher at the

Tsoseletso High School, told Express.

These three pupils will be in Germany

for three months to learn about the

German lifestyle and culture, among other

things. They will be living with different

families during their stay there.

Normally when the learners come back

from abroad they are fluent in German.

Those three months will be like three years

at university for them, Van Rensburg

said.

Before the trio left for Johannesburg

yesterday morning, Van Rensburg remind-

ed them of the importance of being punctu-

al.

Germans are very punctual. So they

should know how important it is for them

to be punctual at all times.

In Germany when they say a bus leaves

the station at 07:02, it leaves exactly at that

time, she said.

Van Rensburg thanked all the sponsors

who made it possible for the three pupils

to go to Germany.

Many thanks to Mr and Mrs Pillay for

their continued support. I also want to

thank the premier of the Free State, Ace

Magashule, for his support to the school. In

September, he sponsored a trip for five of

our German learners to Cape Town.

An excited Makhethe said he was looking

forward to learning the German culture.

Im extremely happy about this trip and

I want to learn as much as possible about

Germany. This will be my first trip abroad.

I would like to get a scholarship there one

day, he said.

Letshego said she was over the moon to

go to Europe.

Im going to miss my family a lot,

especially my twin sister. But Ill tell them

good stories about Germany when I come

back.

Kagisho, who will be out of the country

for the first time, could not hide her

excitement.

Im happy and nervous at the same

time. Im so looking forward to experienc-

ing the German culture and lifestyle.

off to Germany

LINDA SMITH, Manor Gar-

dens, Durban:

IT does us no good to wait for

the government to provide for

us. We need to take responsibil-

ity for our own needs.

Surely by now most people will have real-

ised that official promises of upliftment are

merely a ploy to lure the unwary.

One wonders if the hungry ballot box is the

reason the streets are now being swept, when

in fact they have been neglected for years. It

is the mispriority of the government to keep

itself in what it perceives as being power.

If we each took responsibility for our envi-

ronment and deposited our litter in the bins

provided, the streets would require less

sweeping.

Perhaps our government is merely a reflec-

tion of us, the macrocosm of the microcosm,

or perhaps the government is the microcosm

of us, the macrocosm.We, the

people, hold the power. Em-

powered and responsible citi-

zens have little need to feed

their potential to any devour-

ing system of authority.

When we empower our-

selves, we cease being needy people.Wewould

not be reliant on poor medical services if we

improved the quality of the food on our plates.

The quality of our water will improve when

we, individually and as businesses, stop pol-

luting our waterways. The quality of our air

will improve when we cease to pollute it.

The solutions and the power lie not in the

hands of our governments, but in our own

hands. It is our attitudes thatmakeus or break

us, that help us to improve our living condi-

tions. It is ourwillingness to participate in our

own well-being that improves life for us indi-

vidually, as communities and as a country.

We, the people, are the macrocosm.

We need to empower ourselves

Im happy and nerv

ous at the same time.

Im so looking forward

to experiencing the

German culture and

lifestyle.

A 66-YEAR-OLD

male patient known

as Madala Sithole

was admitted to the

cannot tell the exact

addresses.

According to the so-

cial worker at the La-

dybrand Hospital, he

was once admitted to

that hospital, but did

not have any family

members in that area,

hence hewas taken to

Eden for the home-

less and destitute peo-

ple.

The patient ab-

sconded from Eden

andwas brought back

to the hospital on

Monday, 7 October.

The patient is slightly

confused and still in-

IN order to curb and control exam irregulari-

ties, learnerswill voluntarily sign the national

senior certificate examination pledge on Fri-

day, the Free State Department of Education

announced.

The purpose of the pledge is to encourage

learners to, among others, comply with all the

rules and regulations relevant to the national

senior certificate examinations and follow the

invigilators instructions, avoid cheating and

report any form of wrong-doing to the school

principal.

Thosenot adhering to the examination code

of conductwill be dealtwith, TateMakgoe, ed-

ucation MEC, said in a statement. Approxi-

mately 28 010 full-time and 3 213 part-time can-

didates in the Free Statewill write the national

senior certificate examination, commencing

on 28 October and ends on 29 November. Tight

security measures to prevent irregularities

and possible leakage of the 2013 National Se-

nior Certificate (NSC) question papers have

been put in place by the Free State Department

of Education.

A total of 332 examination centres across the

province are ready for examinations. Systems

have been developed to ensure that exam

scripts are delivered on time to all districts.

Wewill adequately respond to anypotential

crisis and other security-related incidents,

Makgoe said.

The practical exams for Information Tech-

nology, Computer Application Speed andCom-

puter Applications Technology took place on

8 and 9 October.

Invigilators have been trained to closely

monitor the exams and will respond to any

challenges thatmight occur. The improvement

of learnerperformance in theNSCremainsone

of the key priorities as a department.

In 2012we raised thebarbyachievingapass

rate of 81, 1% and the target for 2013 is an 85%

pass rate, Makgoe said.

The department has taken somemeasures in

order to reach the 85% matric pass rate target

set for 2013. Start-up workshops were conduct-

ed in January to integrate the 2012 Department

of Basic Education Diagnostic Report on each

subject. Extra classes were conducted during

the March holidays which 16 778 learners at-

tended.The winter school programme was at-

Makgoe wished all the learners the best in

their exams and announced that the matric re-

sults will be released on 7 January 2014.

PATRICIA KOPANE, DA Free State

leader:

ON INVITATION, I visited the Charles-

ville community, Jagersfontein, in the

Kopanong Municipality recently.

Members of the community informed me

that a housing development project has

remained incomplete for more than four

years.

What I found there is shocking.

The housing project forms part of

Operation Hlasela of Ace Magashule, the

Free State premier.

More than 50 houses remain incomplete

and many houses have been vandalised.

It is unacceptable that our people conti-

nue to live in shacks, or in overcrowded

households, in full view of a partially

developed housing project.

What adds insult to injury is that

Premier Ace Magashule and the ANC would

rather build houses in Lesotho than to take

care of our people.

My colleague in the Free State Provincial

Legislature, Peter Frewen (MPL), will

submit questions to Magashule to

ascertain:

1. the date the project was awarded;

2. to which companies;

3. at what cost;

4. the reasons for the delay; and

5. when the houses will be completed and

handed over to beneficiaries.

On arrival at Charlesville the ANC had

deployed its activists to disrupt my visit.

These ANC activists were eagerly hurling

insults at us that ranged from the very

profane to the extremely racist.

This behaviour will not deter me and the

DA from bringing the DAs message of an

open, opportunity society for all, to all the

people across the province.

The DA maintains that we will not be

intimidated for us there are no no-go

areas.

STONE SIZANI, ANC parliamentary chief

whip:

THE Office of the ANC Chief Whip notes the

DA parliamentary leaders announcement re-

cently that she will be tabling a resolution re-

questing parliament to establish an ad hoc com-

mittee to investigate the so-called fresh allega-

tions that President Jacob Zuma was involved

in the unauthorised landing of theGupta family

aircraft at the Waterkloof Air Force Base.

The DA leader also indicated that she would

report these fresh allegations to the public

protector for an investigation.

There is absolutely nothing fresh in the so-

called fresh allegations.

The team of directors-general who investigat-

ed the incident, which the ANC condemned at

the time, looked at these same allegations she

talks about and found that names of senior gov-

ernment leaders were dropped by certain indi-

viduals to facilitate the unauthorised landing.

The story of a colonel alleging to have been

instructed by another official who claims to

have been instructed by a government leader to

act in a certain manner is a typical name-drop-

ping narrative that the investigation has al-

ready dealt with. Only the DAs obsession to

make news at whatever cost could rehash such

an old story and sell it as a fresh allegation

worthy of an investigation by parliament and

the public protector. It is entirely up to the pub-

lic protectors wisdom and independent discre-

tion whether her institution gets drawn into

such political games of the leader of the opposi-

tion. However, as the ANC, we will not allow

parliament to be dragged into what is clearly a

figment of one MPs overzealous imagination.

SPORT

THE draw for the group stage of

the 2013 Cosafa u.20 Championships

to be held in Lesotho later this year

was made in Maseru on Sunday,

revealing the first-round matches

for the regional showpiece tourna-

ment.

The draw was conducted by

Timothy Shongwe, Cosafa competi-

tions committee chairperson, and

Leslie Notsi, Lesotho national team

coach, outlining the fixtures for the

event that will be staged from 3 to

14 December.

The 14 competing teams have

been split into 4 pools, 2 containing

4 sides and the other 2 with 3

teams.

Hosts Lesotho will be joined in

Group A by East African guests

Kenya, the Comoros Islands and

Mauritius, while the other four-

team pool is Group C that contains

defending champions Zambia, South

Africa, Namibia and the Seychelles.

Group B contains Angola,

Mozambique and Madagascar, while

Group D has Botswana, Zimbabwe

and Swaziland.

The first matches of the tourna-

ment will be played in Maseru on 3

December, with Botswanas clash

against Swaziland the first of a

triple-header that will end with

Lesotho taking on the Comoros.

Before that, East African guests

Kenya will take on Mauritius in

their first match.

The official opening ceremony for

the tournament will also be held at

the same venue on the first match

day.

Zambia, who have won the last

three instalments of the competi-

tion, open their title defence against

Namibia in the other match in

Mafeteng on 4 December.

South Africa, another of the

pre-tournament favourites, will take

on the Seychelles at the same

venue.

Regional powerhouse Zimbabwe

will meet Swaziland in their Group

D opener in Maseru also on 4

December, while after that Group

Bs top-seed Angola take on Mada-

gascar.

Nations will play each other in a

round-robin format in the first

stage with the top team in each

pool advancing to the semi-finals.

Because there are only three

teams in Groups B and D, the top

two sides in these groups will each

play one additional match crossing

over between B and D. The top side

in Group B will play the second-

placed team in D and vice versa.

Thereafter, the top team in each

of the groups will qualify to the

semi-final round.

The semi-finals are scheduled for

12 December and the final two days

later on 14 December in Maseru.

The Cosafa u.20 Youth Champion-

ship has been played in various

guises since 1983, with Zambia

having won the most titles ten.

draw

ROGER DE SA, Or-

lando Pirates coach,

said he knew what to

expect in terms of the

tactical approach to

be employed byEsper-

ance in the secondand

decisive semi-final of

the CAF Champions

League on Saturday.

The Bucs mentor

said he had had

enough time to ana-

lyse and familiarise

himself with the style

favoured by the Tuni-

sians, and instead is

more occupied with

psychologically con-

ditioning his players

to achieve the desired

result in North Afri-

can conditions.

In terms of the ap-

proach, we are well

aware of what to ex-

pect from our oppo-

nents, De Sa said.

Look, they were

our last opponents.

Besides, we have

watched enoughvideo

footage of their other

matches so we are

well prepared in this

regard.

De Sa said he was

gearinghisplayers for

what will be a hos-

tile reception in Tu-

nisia.

This is a Champi-

ons League semi-final

match and we expect

the stadium to be

packed to the brim.

We must be composed

and this is crucial if

we are to come away

with a positive re-

sult.

I have tendays to prepare the clubbefore our

next assignment against Swallows. I believe I

can turn around the fortunes of the club. Celtic

deserve to be in the top eight bracket, saidMid-

dendorp.

I will not rush into making changes in the

team. I will have to assess the players at my dis-

posal before reinforcing the squad.

which is at the level of (Kaizer) Chiefs and (Or-

lando) Pirates. They are the different reasons I

took their offer,Middendorp told Express after

his first training session in Bloemfontein on

Monday.

There are a lot more things one can achieve

as coachatCeltic thanatMaritzburg. I amwork-

ing with a group of hard-working players here.

I am confident we will achieve success togeth-

er, he said.

Middendorps first match in charge of Celtic

Celtic during his tenure as head coach of the

club in the past four seasons. He stabilised us

into a top six team and also won us the Telkom

Knockout Cup. Such is the nature of football

that you are only as good as a couple of results,

Augousti added.

Middendorp, who still has to get to know his

new players, will have to hit the ground run-

ning.

I decided to join Celtic because I have a soft

spot for the club.Theyhavegreat infrastructure

BLOEMFONTEIN CELTIC on Monday an-

nounced the appointment of Ernst Middendorp

as their new head coach.

This is after head coach, Clinton Larsen, re-

signed following a string of poor results in the

league, including a 0-4 hiding the team suffered

at the hands of Mamelodi Sundowns in the Tel-

kom Knockout.

Their elimination from the lucrative competi-

tion means that they will not be able to defend

the title they won against the same side in De-

cember last year.

I am happy to officially announce Mr Ernst

Middendorp as the new head coach of the club.

He is one of the most respected coaches in the

PSL, having worked for teams such as Kaizer

Chiefs,GoldenArrowsandMaritzburgUnited,

said Jimmy Augousti, chairman of Bloemfon-

tein Celtic. We have given him a three-year

contract. I have no doubt that he will find the

new challenge at Bloemfontein Celtic a worth-

while enhancement to his career.

We wish Ernst everything of the best at

Bloemfontein Celtic. He has my full support,

andall the support fromthe seniormanagement

of theclub.Wehopehecan turn this shiparound

for us.

I would also like to take this opportunity to

thank Clinton Larsen for what he has done for

JOHAN GOOSEN, Springbok flyhalf, will

play 40 minutes of the Cheetahs Currie

Cup semi-final against the Sharks in

Durban on Saturday, according to the

Volksblad website.

Goosen (21) had been sidelined since

March due to a knee injury and an untime-

ly appendectomy a few weeks ago further

delayed his return to competitive action.

But he made a welcome return last week

when he played the last 15 minutes of their

22-7 win over the Blue Bulls in Bloemfon-

tein.

Cheetahs coach, Naka Drotsk, said he

was happy with the way the youngster

played, but also praised incumbent flyhalf

Elgar Watts for a decent performance.

Drotsk said Watts would play the first

half at Kings Park, with Goosen getting the

second 40 minutes.

Kick-off is Saturday at 17:00. Sport24
