IT is official Bloemfontein Celtic are

under new management.

This was confirmed by the Augoustis

(former owners) and Tshabalalas (new

owners), and it finally ends the specula-

tion about the future of the Mangaung-

based club.

It is official, we are the new owners

of the Bloemfontein Celtic Football Club.

We signed a deal with Jimmy Augousti

and weve formally taken over the team.

Im very excited, Matlabe Max

Tshabalala, the managing director of

Celtic, told Express.

Well be working with the Augoustis

during the transition until the end of

this month so that we can get the

contract and the books under control,

he said.

Tshabalalas family takes over the club

from the Augoustis (Jimmy and Ikie) who

bought it from Petrus Molemela for a

reported R600 000 in 2001.

I want to thank the Augoustis for what

theyve done for me.

The deal went very smoothly and Ill

be with Ikie at the office to sort out the

contracts of both the players and the

admin personnel.

The Augoustis will be with me until

the end of the month, said Tshabalala.

The Tshabalala family has people that

will run that team and everything; I was

just representing them.

We have professional people to take

care of the club, he added.

Tshabalala has assured the multitude of

Celtic fans and the Free State people in

general that the club will remain in the

province.

As I have mentioned previously, Celtic

will still be based in Bloemfontein.

We are going to run the club from the

same offices Celtic are currently using.

We are also going to play our home

matches in Mangaung, he explained.

Ikie also confirmed the sale of the club

to Express yesterday.

The deal was concluded on Monday,

he said.

It was an emotional decision to sell

the club after being in charge of it for 13

years.

Selling the club is something we never

planned, but we had to to consider

certain factors before we made up our

minds, he added.

Celtic was founded by Norman Mathobi-

sa and Victor Mahatanya in 1969 and

they named it Mangaung United FC.

In 1984, businessman Petrus Molemela

took over the club and changed the name

to Bloemfontein Celtic after Glasgow

Celtic of Scotland, hence the green and

white stripes.

In 2001 Molemela sold a majority share

to Jimmy Augousti, a former Celtic

player.

This was after the club had been

relegated to the lower division.

The club regained its PSL status three

years later and ever since they have

grown to be one of the most colourful

outfits in South African football, with the

most passionate and innovative support-

ers.

)Media reports suggest Celtic was sold

for an alleged R42 million.

THE DA announced on Monday they

intended initiating legal proceedings

against the minister of Health, Dr Aaron

Motsoaledi, if he failed to place the Free

State Department of Health under adminis-

tration.

Should the minister fail to initiate the

process of placing the provincial depart-

ment under administration within a

reasonable time, the DA will initiate legal

proceedings against the minister with a

view to compel him to intervene, even if it

means taking it to the Constitutional

Court, said Dr Wilmot James, DA

spokesperson for Health.

At a media conference held at the Free

State Legislature on Monday, James told

the media that without a doubt the Free

State Provincial Department of Health was

near total collapse.

He said the DA had conducted oversight

visits at various public health facilities

and the conditions pointed to a crisis in

the Free State.

Speaking on the critical and desperate

conditions at health facilities, James said:

This is a moral failure by government

and not a technical one and has major

consequences for the people of South

Africa. It requires a moral solution, so we

will go as far as the Constitutional Court

should the minister not intervene.

This shows incompetence and points to

self-serving governance at the cost of

taxpaying residents of South Africa.

The DA said the collapse of the Free

State Department of Health could have

been avoided had the provincial executive

adopted and implemented tried and tested

administrative and financial mechanisms,

like those the DA government in the

Western Cape had implemented.

Patricia Kopane, DA member of parlia-

ment, said: The DA has repeatedly called

on the premier, Ace Magashule, to fire the

MEC for Health in the province, Dr Benny

Malakoane.

Malakoane has shown that he lacks the

ability and the political will to effectively

deal with the health crisis.

In June at a signing of a pledge of

service delivery Malakoane blamed the

financial constraints the department was

facing on the fact that the Free State had

to take care of patients from other prov-

inces, including foreign nationals.

He said that this aspect had put pressure

on the department and the limited resour-

ces it had.

Kopane, who is also the DA leader in the

province, said following the deteriorating

situation of public health in the province,

and no response to the DAs approach to

prevent the crisis, the DA approached the

South African Human Rights Commission

(SAHRC) to investigate human rights

violations by Malakoane and the Free

State Provincial Department of Health.

Some of the issues identified by the DA

at the Pelonomi Hospital in Bloemfontein

are that the hospital does not have hot

water, and nursing staff and patients have

to boil water in coffee urns which can lead

to serious implications for infection

control.

The hospital also regularly runs out of

medical consumables and the neonatal

ward has access to two ventilators serving

40 patients.

)Meanwhile, on Friday, while Magashule

and other senior officials were busy with a

clean-up operation at the Pelonomi

Hospital in honour of Mandela Day,

medical consumables and medication were

found at a transit site at the hospital.

On Monday, following a meeting between

Public Works MEC Sam Mashinini and

Malakoane as well as hospital manage-

ment, the Health Department issued a

statement announcing that an independent

investigation team comprising imminent

persons and experts in the health sector

would be set up to speedily assist investi-

gations into what exactly happened.

CRY FOR HELP: Here are staff members and children of the Kgotso Eate Day-care Centre in Thabong. Staff members are from

the left Emily Khampepe, Nene Sebolai, Lerato Khumalo and Tuna Tladi. The centres management is appealing to the public

to lend a hand by donating any usable items like toys, educational items and blankets. The centre has been operating for 22

years from a shelter in the backyard of house no 26947 in the developing settlement east of Thabong and has 80 children. Those

willing to help can contact the matron, Emily Khampepe, on 083-745-1545.

Asking for urgent support

DA acts against failing department

THE DA announced they were willing to go all the way to the Constitutional Court to try and resolve the crisis currently facing the

Free State Department of Health. At Monday's media conference were from the left Mariette Pittaway (DA MPL), Patricia Kopane (DA

Free State leader) and James Letuka (DA MPL). Photo: Tshenolo Meruti

THE Molemo Day-care Centre for Disabled

Children in Bloemfonteins Phase 6 received

a welcome gift of 14 wheelchairs, as a

donation from the Bloemspruit police as

part of the Mandela Day activities.

The donation was made possible by the

Bloemspruit police, Bloemspruit Womens

Network and CWP (Community Work

Programme) from Grassland in Bloemfon-

tein.

The late former statesman asked that the

countrys citizens dedicate 67 minutes of

their time to improving the lives of others.

Last year during Child Protection Week

the Bloemspruit police bought the day-care

centre groceries and saw a greater need

and returned this year.

Const. Mapaseka Mofokeng from the

Bloemspruit Womens Network, said they

were helping with cleaning and took part in

the days festivities. She said she was proud

to be able to assist.

The wheelchairs that the police gave to

the centre was donated by Buddhas Light

International Association.

The Bloemspruit station commander, Col

Mabandla Booi, handed the wheelchairs to

the centre and said they had noticed the

need for wheelchairs and took the initiative

to help.

The Molemo Day-care Centre takes care

of more than ten children and helps them

to write and do physical exercises that are

required because of their disabilities.

I am very happy, because not all people

will do this for the needy.

I am satisfied, the Bloemspruit police

are always lending their hand to help.

They always help us with groceries and

the little things that we need, the centre

manager, Beauty Lenyora, said.

The police and the CWP painted the

centre and cleaned in and around the

building. Members of the CWP also planted

spinach in the backyard of the centre to

promote self-subsistence.

The day was a huge success and in

memory of former president Nelson

Mandela, more than 67 minutes was given

to the disabled children.

Lenyora shared some of the challenges

the day-care centre faced, one of them being

transport.

According to her, they struggle to

transport the children and she hopes that

more people will look on 18 July as a way

to honour the memory of Nelson Mandela

and help those in need.

Newwheels give

hope to children

IN honour of Mandela Day, officers from the Bloemspruit Police Station donated wheel-

chairs and groceries to the Molemo Day-care Centre in Phase 6. At the event were from

THE process of buying property generally

takes between two and three months,

whether you are buying it cash or via the

bank (bond).

In order to purchase a property in

South Africa, the buyer must provide the

following documents: passport and

relevant identity documents, marriage

certificate, divorce decree. Once a suitable

property has been found, a prospective

purchaser makes an offer and completes

an offer to purchase or purchase agree-

ment through a legal estate agent (regis-

tered with the estate agent board).

This is a legally binding document and

includes most, if not all, of the following

information: names of the parties in-

volved in the property purchase, address

and description of the property in

question, purchase price and deposits,

occupation date, deadlines for acceptance/

offer expiration date, all seller and

purchaser details, electrical certificate,

the transferring attorneys contact details

and office address.

The role of the transferring attorney is

to inform the sellers bank or bondholder

to obtain the cancellation figure of the

existing mortgage and the title deeds of

the property.

Contact the municipality for a rates

clearance certificate and arrange for any

outstanding debts to be cleared. Guaran-

tee payment of the sellers outstanding

mortgage or bond to the bondholder and

obtain approval of the bond from the

financial institution of the purchaser.

Work in conjunction with the cancelling

and registering attorneys of the lending

institutions. Organise payment of transfer

duty, on behalf of the buyer, to Sars.

Once all the paperwork has been

drafted, signed and the financial guaran-

tees are in place, the deeds are lodged

with the Deeds Office by the transferring

attorney. Once they have been examined

at the Deeds Office, the registration of

transfer of property from the seller to the

purchaser can take place; this takes

approximately 10 to 14 days.

THREE young players from the

Free Sate have been chosen to fly

to the UK in October to trade their

soccer skills amongst the best at

the highest level.

Karabo Mojai from the Lejwel-

eputswa region, Teboho Mokoena

from the Thabo Mofutsanyana

region and Thabang Thoabala from

Bloemfontein are the three players

selected from the different regions

within the Free State.

The department said that the

players had all shown talent and in

their view were the best players

who will one day trade their skills

in the top-flight football arena.

The Free State Tourism Authori-

ty (FSTA) and Simsport Interna-

tional have joined forces to

improve the football development

in the province.

The initiative was established at

the Phakisa Freeway under the

major sports development pro-

gramme.

Today the programme has

become the permanent feature in

the development of football around

the province and each year in the

Thabo Mofutsanyana district 40

players are selected for two camps

during the July and October school

holidays.

The project manager, Rasthoem

Simons, said: We are extremely

proud of the Bolton Wanderers

programme, hence our reason to

expand on the current model.

Along with the FSTA we are

delighted to launch the Free State

International Football Programme

which will now see us take three

young players to the UK and two to

the Netherlands each year.

The Bolton Wanderers FC

programmes major success story

was when Tyron Mondi won the

overall scholarship prize of 25 000

to learn and play in the UK.

Tyron said that he believed the

three players all deserved this and

that they were good enough.

These boys really deserve this

because they are good at what they

do and not because they are

favourites.

Coach David Bailey, head scout:

Accrington Stanley FC, said that

the three players represented the

Free Sate and themselves very well.

What stood out about these

players is their attitude; they are

first class right from the start and

are the best we have had so far.

He wished them well in represent-

ing the Free State in England and

said that they had to be ambitious

to succeed in football.

Prophet Godfrey Thomas

WHEN the leaves fall off the trees and the

temperature changes, everyone knows

which season is coming.

There is indeed a benefit to seasons.

Seasons tell us that nothing is permanent

except Gods promises.

If you value Gods wisdom in the

Scripture, then consider His promise in

Ecclesiastes 3:1: There is an occasion for

everything and a time for every activity

under heaven.

This verse informs us that everything

can only last for a season; meaning what

you are going through right now, is

temporary. Seasons guarantee change.

It does not matter what you are expe-

riencing, it will change.

Seasons also give hope. No matter how

cold it gets in winter, summer is coming.

When winter comes, you do not throw

away your summer clothing; you put it

away for the next summer.

Everything is seasonal; do not let anyone

cause you to throw your hope away.

Unemployment is seasonal. If you are

unemployed, know that employment is on

its way.

The season for you to leave that job may

have come, but there is something better

in store for you. You have to be prepared

for that. God closed that chapter in order

to open another in your life.

Prepare yourself for something bigger

and better than what you had. Seasons are

always temporary. A crisis is not a

permanent condition; it is a human

description. The key to life is outlasting

the season.

If you can stay warm long enough in

winter, you will surely see summer. What

you have to do, is organise yourself to

outlast the season.

This is why seasons give hope. You do

not quit permanently within a season.

Seasons give you an incentive to plan for

the future.

The best time to shop for winter clothing

is in summer. People may laugh at you,

but do understand that you are planning

for the next phase. With this kind of

mindset, people who ascribe to the values

of the kingdom of God live by faith. Faith

is believing that what you are going

through is not going to last.

Storms may come our way, but we have

the potential to be durable and stronger

than the winds, because we built on the

rock of which Christ is the foundation.

Though seasons change, Christ is unchang-

ing and everlasting (Hebrews 13:8).

) Godfrey Thomas Ministries presents

two days of revelation and impartation.

Venue: Paradise Hall; Bochabela,

Bloemfontein. Date: 15 and 16 August.

Time: 19:30. Entry is free.

This outreach is not to be missed.

every season in life

THE African Unions (AU) passive

approach or silent diplomacy (if

you like) to terrorism taking place

on the continent makes them an

accessory to the devastating human

rights violation in these affected

countries.

It is clear to see that the passive

diplomatic approach is not effective

and only serves to encourage many

more terrorist wannabes.

There is no culture of accounta-

bility and terrorist groups are

aware of this, purely because

institutions such as the AU are not

doing enough to hold these

terrorists accountable.

As a result, we are forced to

think and believe that the recur-

rent mushrooming of extremist

militants in African countries such

as Nigeria, CAR and Somalia is a

normal phenomenon, while it is in

fact abnormal, motivated purely by

the culture of impunity in Africa.

The continent is increasingly

looking more incapable of dealing

with problems we often argue

that African problems should be

left to Africans to solve, in an

African way.

In theory this is a noble idea.

However, in practice it is proving

to be ever so improbable to be

implemented. While institutions

such as the AU is still unsure what

to do, innocent lives are being

wasted, family units disrupted and

women and girls are paying the

ultimate price in the process.

It is inconceivable that the AUs

Peace and Security Policy frame-

work makes no mention of the

term enforcing/enforcement. This

lack of legal framework for the AU

to deal decisively with the acts of

terrorism is a direct impediment to

the AUs mission which projects

the commission as an efficient and

value-adding institution driving the

African integration and develop-

ment process in the close collabora-

tion with member states, the

regional economic bodies and

African citizens.

We have seen and heard of

summits on the fight against

terrorism in Africa; there have

been countless talks, round table

discussions and scholar seminars.

Nothing comes out of these talks,

except the continued senseless

killings, rapes and kidnappings

that have become synonymous with

these shocking terrorism acts.

This begs the question: What will

it take for the AU to take an active

stand against these barbaric acts?

An undeniable fact is that

terrorism in Africa has reached

unprecedented levels, where almost

a dozen of the 42 member states

have one form or the other of

terrorism, rebellion or extremism

likely to spark a terrorist group.

With the chilling awakening of

the devastation of terrorism in

Africa, it is mind boggling that the

AU, through its security council,

has not declared war on terrorism,

or at least pronounced terrorism as

a common threat to member states.

The AUs supporting role needs

to change, as it reduces the role of

the commission to that of spectator

when lives are wasted. The

commission needs to fight enthu-

siastically against sheer acts of

crimes against humanity. Its lack

of capacity in combating this is

indeed travesty, to what they claim

to stand for and seek to promote.

In the words of Madiba: It is

without a doubt useless and futile

to continue talking peace and

non-violence against people whose

only reply is savage attacks on an

armed and defenceless people.

For African leaders to be seen as

active players on the global stage,

they need to show gravity in

dealing with thorny issues not

turn a blind eye as people die.

There is an AU court based in

Mozambique. No rebel or terrorist

group leader has ever been dragged

before that court for crimes against

humanity. Yet we are the first to

cry foul when the West drags those

leaders to The Hague for crimes

against humanity, and genocide.

African leaders appear incapable of

holding their peers accountable, or

they lack leadership it is no

surprise that no one country is

willing to lead on these matters.

Having said all this, I find it

extremely difficult to exempt fellow

citizens of the African continent.

We seem to have lost our spirit of

solidarity and activism.

African citizens should put

pressure on our governments to

vote in favour of a more decisive

and combat-able AU and develop-

ment mechanism for the AU to be

able, not only to support, but also

to protect those whose right to live

and be are being violated.

Otherwise Madibas dream of an

Africa at peace with itself will

remain just that: A dream.

ERNST MIDDENDORP, Bloem-

fontein Celtic coach, has ex-

pressed his satisfaction with his

team after their Charity Show-

down success this past weekend.

Phunya Sele Sele defeated

Amazulu 2-0 in the final to be

crowned champions of the

inaugural pre-season tournament

at the Bidvest Stadium in Johan-

nesburg on Saturday.

Vuyani Ntanga and Gabadinho

Mhangos efforts in the second

half were enough to earn Celtic a

hard-fought victory.

Middendorps men booked their

place in the final by beating hosts

Bidvest Wits 1-0 in the first

semifinal, while Amazulu beat

Mpumalanga Black Aces 2-1 in

the other semifinal on the same

day.

Both teams, Celtic in particular,

put out vastly different sides to

the ones which had done duty

earlier in their semifinal encoun-

ters.

Im very happy with the way

my team played in the Charity

Showdown.

These types of games are good

because we use them to try

different combinations before the

new season starts, said Midden-

dorp.

Celtic, who will be launching

their new kit at the Sanlam Plaza

in Bloemfontein on Friday at

12:30, will lock horns with Wits in

the MTN 8 Cup in Johannesburg

on 1 August. The kick-off is

scheduled for 20:00.

Siwelele will start their league

campaign with a home fixture

against Aces in the Free State

Stadium on 10 August at 15:00.

ISHMAEL MOKITLANE, the

Free State u.21 soccer coach, has

praised his troops for winning

the SAB u.21 National Champi-

onship. The Free Staters brought

down North-West 4-2 in the final

which was played in front of a

big crowd at the North-West

University Stadium in Mafikeng

on Sunday.

Their goals were scored by

hat-trick hero Mbuyiselo

Thethani and Kgotso Mofokeng,

while the hosts replied through

Letlhohonolo Mogwera, who

netted a brace.

Mokitlane, affectionately

known as Litre in football

circles, said he never doubted

his team would emerge winners

of the tournament.

I want to take this opportuni-

ty to thank the Free State

government for their support,

especially the Department of

Sport, Arts and Culture, for

organising a camp for the team

in Bothaville ahead of the

tournament. I also want to thank

the coaches who helped me to

assemble this team, he added.

The Free Staters had a slow

start to the tournament as they

lost 2-1 to KwaZulu-Natal in their

first match, but they salvaged a

point against Limpopo in the

next encounter before beating

North-West 2-1 in their last

group stage match.

In the quarterfinals, the Free

State defeated USSA 4-2 on

penalties after the match had

ended 1-1 in regulation time, and

they followed up that win with

an emphatic 5-1 victory over

KwaZulu-Natal in the semifinals.

We missed eight clear-cut

chances in our tournament

opener against KwaZulu-Natal.

Again, we fluffed a number of

great opportunities against

Limpopo in the next game. But

we managed to convert our

chances in other matches. Im

very happy with the overall

performance of the team during

the tournament, said the coach.

Mokitlane, who clinched the

Coach of the Tournament award,

was a member of the Free State

teams technical staff that won

the inaugural edition of this

tournament in Bloemfontein in

2009.
