BARELY a year after starting

her business, an entrepreneur

from the Free State walked

away with the enterPRIZE Job

Creation Challenge award at a

ceremony held at the President

Hotel in Bloemfontein on

Thursday night.

Faith Leburu (24) of Bloemfon-

tein received the award,

together with a first-prize

money reward of R125 000, after

starting a company, Med-deliver,

that will be specialising in

delivering medication to

government hospitals in an

innovative way.

I feel really blessed to win

the social enterprise category,

because I am very passionate

about helping society and also

creating a sustainable enter-

prise.

That is why I decided to

combine social factors into

social entrepreneurship,

Leburu told Express.

I started the company

knowing that it would be

sustainable.

I do not want to depend on

government or corporate

funding. This is a self-sustaining

project.

I am very happy that I won

this award. I hope that from

now on I am going to be

changing lives, no matter how

small the change, because it

doesnt matter how little can be

done, every bit counts

especially when you work with

society, she said.

Leburu said that through

determination and hard work,

small businesses can overcome

the many obstacles faced in the

initial stages.

I think the amount of money I

won, is enough to start the project.

I will be using bicycles and a

scooter in the first eight months of

the business until I start breaking

through. I am going to use the

money I won strictly on business.

The 2013 Free State enterPRIZE

Job Creation Challenge, which was

officially launched on 27 February

by the International Labour

Organisation (ILO) in partnership

with the Flanders International

Cooporation Agency (Fica), the

Department of Economic Develop-

ment, Tourism and Environmental

Affairs (Detea) and the Small

Enterprise Development Agency

(Seda) honoured 42 entrepre-

neurs in 14 different categories.

Jens Dyring Christensen, ILO

chief technical advisor, said:

One of the important means to

address the very high levels of

unemployment in the province

is through the stimulation of

entrepreneurship and innova-

tion allowing potential and

existing entrepreneurs to

identify and exploit new market

opportu- nities, thereby creating

more economic growth.

We plan for this competition

to become an annual event and

that more entrepreneurs in the

years to come will be inspired

and challenged to find ways to

create more jobs in the prov-

ince. According to the organis-

ers of the event, 549 entries

were received from Free State

entrepreneurs.

Some of the winners were

from as far afield as Qwaqwa,

Ficksburg, Kroonstad and Parys.

Girls empowered to be leaders

}

Sidwell Guduka

IN an effort to empower chil-

dren, the office of the Public

Protector in the Free State

hosted 20 pupils from differ-

ent schools in Mangaung,

Bloemfontein, who on Thurs-

day participated in the annu-

al Cell C Take a Girl Child to

Work Day Campaign where

the aimwas to empower these

learners.

The learners were of Tsose-

letso High School, Kaelang

Secondary School, Kagisho

Comprehensive School and

Hodisa Technical School.

The event, initiated by the

cellphone giant 11 years ago,

aims to inspire girls through

exposing them to a wide

range of career opportuni-

ties.

It also recognises the need

to provide learners with the

ideal opportunity to assist

them in making informed de-

cisions enabling them to be-

come future leaders.

The themeunderlining this

years campaign was Empow-

er a Girl, Empower a Nation.

We are here to celebrate

the day with the girls and to

encourage them to be the

best that they can be.

We feel that the girls life

is very special to us. We be-

lieve that they are the future

mothers of the nation. We al-

so believe that by empower-

ing them, we are empowering

the nation, Wiaan Vermaak,

Cell C managing executive in

the Central Region, told Ex-

press.

The campaign has been

very successful over the

years. We are extremely hap-

py about the support we re-

ceive from the government,

businesses and the public in

general. The public is very

enthusiastic about the cam-

paign.

Today we are well sup-

ported by the Public

Protector, Pacofs and Seda,

which represent local gov-

ernment.

We are very proud to part-

ner with them in this specific

event,Vermaak said, adding

that his company wanted to

promote real learning in the

country.

As for the criteria they use

to choose girls to participate

in the campaign, he ex-

plained that they went to lo-

cal schools and selected girls

who were available on the

day.

These are usually gr. 11

and gr. 12 studentswe feel are

going to enter the business

sphere in a very short period

of time, he explained.

Jackie Ntshingila, the Free

States provincial manager of

Seda, said: As Seda we have

been participating in the

campaign for the past three

years. We did it with all the

branches last year and it was

very successful.

So when Cell C ap-

proached us to say they have

this kind of thing happening

in Bloemfontein today, we

felt we better take it on with

them, because it is a great ini-

tiative. We really feel blessed

to have been part of this, be-

causewhenyou educate a girl

or empower her you definite-

ly empower a nation.

It is so important to Seda

to develop and empower all

girls in South Africa.

We believe that the Take a

Girl Child to Work Campaign

is one of those initiatives

which are very critical in en-

suring that girls become the

leaders of tomorrow, Ntsh-

ingila concluded.

week.

Motshwari Mofo-

keng (25) of Freedom

Squarewas injured af-

ter a Red Ants securi-

ty guard had fired a

rubber bullet, which

hit Mofokeng below

the right shoulder, on Wednesday.

The incident occurred in the Johannesburg

CBD while Mofokeng was covering an eviction

of illegal residents living inabuildingonceused

as a factory in the city.

At first I thought it was a stone, but thought

thiswas impossiblebecause Iwas facing theRed

Ants, not the demonstrators. After about five

minutes I started feeling a lot of pain, Mofo-

keng told Express.

The evictees were emotional because alter-

native arrangements for accommodation had

not beenmade. But my pain was physical. I had

been shot in the chest, but (even) before that, I

had been slapped twice. The guard had walked

away from me as the pain intensified, he said.

Johannesburg Central Police spokesperson,

WOQoliMbele, said a case of attemptedmurder

had been opened but the court had withdrawn

charges against the 26-year-old suspect.

The Gospel more than a story or doctrine

}

Elder Jonathan B Ndlovu

WE do not have to go to the

psychologist or the doctor or the

scientist or sociologist to get the

answer to the question: What is

the Gospel? There is but one

place to turn to the Living

Word of God, the Holy Bible.

For I am not ashamed of the

Gospel of Christ: for it is the

Power of God unto salvation to

every one who believes; to the Jew

first, and also to the Greek (Rom.

1:16).

Paul might have described the

Gospel as being Good News, a

doctrine, a creed or theory

or a story or a number of other

things, but He did not use any

of these definitions.

Instead, he declared it to be

the Power of God.

Psalm 62:11 says: I . . .have

heard this that power belonged

unto God.

Let us hear another scripture:

and she will bring forth a son,

and thou shall call his name

Jesus; for he shall save his people

from their sins. (Matt. 1:21).

Scripture is to be compared

with scripture. Truth once laid

down in the Word of God, do not

need to be repeated in just the

same words again. Jesus is the

heart of the Gospel and the

power of God unto salvation

from sin. The rest is but a

theory, or a story, or a doctrine

or such like.

As power belongs to Christ

(Ps. 62:11), He says: I and my

Father are one. (John 10:30).

They are associated on equal

terms.

With this tremendous power it

says: I was in the beginning with

God. All things were made by

Him, and with Him, this world

was called into existence and

which now is employed to save

the repentant from sin.

Therefore redemption is

creation repeated who are dead

in trespasses and sins. (Eph. 2:1)

and the man in Christ is a new

creation. (2 Cor. 5:17)

When He created man in the

beginning, it is said, and the

Lord formed man of the dust of

the ground, and breathed into his

nostrils the breath of life; and

man became a living soul (Gen.

2:7). The Gospel is the way in

which God exerts His power for

salvation. Wherever the Gospel

finds believing hearts, it is a

divine power by which all the

obstacles to mans redemption

are removed.

Paul is stating a fact that he

knows to be true from his own

experience. He has felt this

Power of God in his life.

. . .for the preaching of the cross

is to them that perish foolishness:

but unto which are saved, it is

the Power of God. (1 Cor. 1:48).

be published next week.

GETTING into university was supposed to be

Almost a year ago, on 28 June, this dream of

success was shattered when I was raped.

As usual, I took a taxi from downtownBloem-

fontein to Brandwag. I sat in the front seat. I

knew the driver and had spoken to him a couple

of times. So when he asked me if I could go to

Naval Hill with him because he wanted to fetch

some people, I didnt mind. He parked at an old

building there and he started kissing me. I told

him to stop or I would call the cops. I dialled

10111and thatswhenhegotmadandthreatened

to break my phone. He told me to choose be-

tween walking back and sleeping with him. I

chose to walk. As I was about to get out of the

carhepulledmyweaveand strangledme. I tried

so hard to fight him off, but he overpoweredme.

He raped me and I let him get away with it. For

months I pretended nothing had happened until

I finally had the guts to tell someone.

I missed a lot of classes and I failed. This year

Iwas told to getmy act together or leave the uni-

versity. So far I havent beenable to improvemy

grades. So, I guess Ill have to do the walk of

shamenextyear.Eversince thatday,mylifehas

been turned upside down after I had been grant-

I used to think keeping quiet about the rape

was going to make things easy for me. It hasnt.

I had an anxiety attack not so long ago. The

stress is slowly tearingmeapart. Ihaveconstant

headaches and I cant stop crying. To make

things worse I have become so bitter and angry.

If only I could do things differently I would give

100%ineverything I do. I realisenow that I have

let that dog win and what tears me apart the

most is the realisation that my grandmother

might never seeme graduate from theUniversi-

my dreams might never come true. I allowed

myself to be a victim.

If I knew then what I know now, that what

happened was not my fault and that he should

pay for what he did, I would have reported the

case. I cant describe what I am going through.

understand what it feels like.

THE Department of Labour warns

employers not to fall prey to crimi-

nals visiting businesses under the

guise of being labour officials with

the aim of swindling them.

This comes after three individu-

als, twowomenandamanof Indian

origin, were reported to be visiting

employers in the Zastron and

Wepener areas and threatened to

closedownbusinesses if employers

did not buy their labour legisla-

tion charts such as the Basic Con-

ditions of Employment Act

(BCEA), Employment Equity Act

(EEA) and Occupational Health

and Safety Act (OHSA).

The Department of Labour does

not sell any legislation or docu-

ments about labour laws to mem-

bers of the public.

If employers need these docu-

ments, they should contact their

nearest offices of the department.

Employers should be wary of any

person who visits their workplace

under the name of the department

and demand some form of identifi-

cation. For further confirmation

an employer can call the office to

verify if indeed the person works

for the department, said Marsha

Bronkhorst, the chief director for

provincial operations.

Therehasbeenastringof reports

around the province about individ-

uals, some posing as labour inspec-

tors, visiting workplaces conduct-

ing inspections or selling labour

legislation with the aim of robbing

unsuspecting employers.

The Department of Labour in-

spectors are the only officials who

are allowed to carry out labour in-

spections andwill do so byprior ar-

rangement. They will be able to

identify themselves and they are

never allowed to receive any mon-

ey fromemployers.Any suspicious

individual conduct should be re-

ported to the South African Police

Services (SAPS).

Department

refutes allegations

about examresults

IN response to vari-

ous media reports on

the delay in the re-

lease of Engineering

Studies results, the

Department ofHigher

Education and Train-

ing (DHET) wishes to

rectify the miscon-

ceptions and incor-

rect facts being re-

ported.

The preliminary in-

vestigation into the

Engineering Studies

irregularities has

identified 211 candi-

dates linked to irregu-

larities out of the total

of 144 752 candidates

who wrote the first

trimester examina-

tions.

The actions taken

and delay in the re-

lease of Engineering

Studies results were

taken to protect the

integrity of the na-

tional examination

system, as well as the

efforts of the 144 541

candidates who sat

and wrote this exami-

nation and legitimacy

of qualifications be-

ing awarded in the

Further Education

and Training (FET)

sector.

These actions by

the department

shows the serious-

ness and relevance of

theFETcollege sector

within the post-

school education and

training system, and

the role this sector

has to play in provid-

ing the requisite

skills required by the

economy.

It is therefore im-

perative that all

stakeholders contin-

ue to work together

and inspire confi-

dence in a system that

is designed to deliver

the scarce skills need-

ed by the economy

and recognises FET

colleges as institu-

tions of first choice

particularly for

young people.

The position of the

department is that no

student should be de-

nied access to aca-

demic programmes

due to the delay in the

release of results and

similarly, those stu-

dents whomeet the fi-

nancial and academic

eligibility criteria for

financial aid through

NSFAS.

Colleges have been

assisting Engineer-

ing Studies students

affected by the late re-

lease of results to reg-

ister on the next level

for trimester 2. The

department is moni-

toring the registra-

tion of trimester 2 stu-

dents and providing

assistance where re-

quired.

In relation to the al-

leged 25% downward

adjustment, it is the

responsibility of the

department and

Umalusi to accurate-

ly reflect the perform-

ance of each candi-

date and the depart-

ment refutes

allegations made in

some media reports

that there had been a

25% downward ad-

justment in themarks

of students as a conse-

quence of the report-

ed irregularities.

The department

wishes to reiterate

that it views these ir-

regularities in a seri-

ous light and crimi-

nal innature, andwill

do everything within

its power to safeguard

the integrity of thena-

tional examination

system by holding in-

dividuals accounta-

ble and working

closelywith theSouth

African Police Serv-

ice (SAPS) to identify

perpetrators. The

DHET appeals to the

public and students to

actively contribute to

its efforts to eradicate

this scourge.

MOTHEO FET COLLEGE STUDENTS participated in various sporting codes in the 2013 Ball

Games hosted at Welkom High in Welkom on 25 May. The Motheo womens soccer team

were victorious after humiliating the Maluti FET College in the first game of the day. The

boys soccer team were beaten by the Flavius Mareka FET College in the final. The rugby

team went on to lose to Goldfields in a nasty rugby match. The chess team easily made

their way to victory which saw four members out of six being selected to participate in

the national tournament to be held in Limpopo later this year. Pictured are members of

the Motheo FET College performing arts team who also took part in the activities.

Soldiers hone their

skills with exercise

}

Sidwell Guduka

AS many as 75 soldiers parti-

cipated in Exercise Chest of

Steel Five in the Free State.

The event was held at the

Gen. De Wet Training Arena,

De Brug, just outside

Bloemfontein. It ran for two

weeks.

Lt Col William Jansen, the

commanding officer of 1 SA

Tank Regiment, said the sce-

nario they used in the excer-

cise was fictitious and was

based on a certain country

somewhere in Africa.

TheExerciseChest of Steel

Five is a continuation excer-

cise whereby we specially fo-

cus on the capabilities of the

staff officers to do planning on

the brigate level. It has been

very successful in the past

four years, Jansen told Ex-

press.

This exercise is an initia-

tive of the South African Ar-

mour Formation headquar-

ters.

It is the fifth exercise that

we are executing. We started

off with the convertional sce-

nario and gradually we re-

duced the convertional sce-

nario to a peace-keeping sce-

nario.

This particular Excercise

Chest of Steel Five is based on

peace enforcement, in UN

terms a Chapter 7 mission,

he explained.

We have different levels

whereby we do planning on a

military strategic level, oper-

ational level, and obviously,

on the tactical level. The bri-

gade is currently on the tacti-

cal level where we do that

planning.

Jansen said most of their

members that participated in

the Exercise Chest of Steel

Five were learners on the reg-

imental commanders course.

We introduced soldiers to

the new computers. We man-

aged to use all the moves well.

Specialists played a pivotal

role in making this exercise a

great success.

He further said that theydid

the command post exercises

with the tank units.

Rufus Botha

DAVID KOLOANE, a well-

known former long-distance

athlete from Bloemfontein and

currently administrator and

road race referee for Athletics

Free State (AFS), scored a rare

distinction on Sunday.

Koloane was called up by the

Comrades Marathon Associa-

tion (CMA) to officiate at the

88th Comrades Marathon from

Durban to Pietermaritzburg.

The Comrades (86 km) is the

biggest ultra-marathon in the

world and more than 15 000

starters lined up to tackle this

race.

Koloane was not only called

up as a referee, he did duty as

referee for the first ten men

(gold medallists) and that is

something to write home about

for his first outing as a

Comrades referee.

Although I was nervous, it

was one the most satisfying

experiences of my life.

It was amazing to experi-

ence how people from a

different culture, race and

country could become com-

rades during the time they

spent on the road and after-

wards, Koloane told Express

after the race.

He said he had been on duty

at the start of the race to

ensure that everything was

ready for the frontrunners to

start without any problems.

From there it was a drive to

the finish where I had to

ensure that the top ten guys

were adhering to all the rules

and regulations.

Runners in the race run

and/or finish with different

kinds of advertisement ban-

ners, of which some may

offend other athletes, spectators

and TV viewers. And this must

be addressed. Ill obviously

discuss this in a post-race

meeting.

I would suggest that no

offending religious, cultural

and/or political banners should

be allowed at the race, he

added.

Koloane is a former South

African junior 3 000 m steeple-

chase champion and has been

involved in athletics adminis-

tration for more than a decade

and a half.

He possesses a level 2

technical official certificate and

has been the manager of the

Transnet relay team which won

the prestigious JP Morgan

Corporate Relay in New York

several times, to mention only

a few of this former Navalsig

High School hostel head boys

achievements.

Koloane is currently

employed by Transnet in

their Human Resources

Department.
