AT the age of 111,ManteleMsi-

manga has very few people on

the planet who are older than

her.

According to her battered

IdentityDocument,Msimanga

of Bolata Village in Qwaqwa

turned 111 on 16 July.

Do you see how old I ammy

child? You probably think you

are seeing a ghost, dont you?

She asks in a smooth, but

strong voice.

Although she is now blind,

Msimanga still has a fairly

sharpmemory and is thus able

to recall her childrens as well

as someof her grandchildrens

names.

Several generations who

can trace their lineage back to

Msimanga held a party over

the weekend to celebrate the

old womans birthday.

I think my grandmother

has lived this long because of

her healthy fear of God,

Mpuse Mofokeng said.

Mofokengs mother, Mat-

shidisoMofokeng, who recent-

lywent blind herself until a re-

cent eye operation to remove a

cataract restored sight to her

one eye, stays with and looks

after the old lady.

She said despite her moth-

ers very advanced age, she ac-

tually rarely ever became ill.

You would think I have to

take her to the doctor regular-

ly, but actually not, she is very

strong, Matshidiso said.

Matshidiso said her mother

had a healthy appetite for

sweetswithLiquoriceAllsorts

being a particular favourite,

as she scratched around the

wardrobe and pulled out a

handful of the soft sweets and

handed them to her mother.

Asked howmany grand- and

great-grandchildren she had,

Msimanga gave ahearty laugh

and just shook her head amid

a chorus of laughter from her

family who had surrounded

her to sing her Happy Birth-

day.

Last week, the Sowetan

newspaper reported the story

of Johanna Mazibuko of

Klerksdorp who at 119 had a

claim to be South Africas old-

est person.

In June, the worlds oldest

known person, Jiroemon

Kimura of Japan, died at the

ripe old age of 116.

THE City of Roses is expected to come

alive with the annual FNB Grey College

Music Festival to be held later next month.

This years event, which will take place

on 30 and 31 August at the Sand du Plessis

Theatre, promises to be a highlight on the

Bloemfontein social and cultural calendar.

The festival which was conceived by Dr

Michau Heyns, ex-headmaster of Grey

College in 1982, is a unique and the only

event of its kind in South Africa.

It was formally known as the Grey

College Choir Festival and used to take

place at the Centenery hall in the Free

State capital. Later, it was moved to the

Bloemfontein town hall to accommodate

the growing number of audience.

The Grey boys will be joined on the stage

by legendary singer and songwriter Jak de

Priester, the beautiful and talented Caro-

line Haasbroek and the exquisite voice of

Valiant Swart.

We are thrilled with the artist line-up

we were able to secure this year and

rehearsals are going very well.

We always use artists from all over the

country. At the end of the show we always

have the whole school on the stage; all the

boys from the school sing as the mass

orchestra, Celeste Venter, the organiser of

the event, told Express.

And the artists sing together with them

on the stage. Thats a very nice thing to

see and the boys enjoy that.

People can expect to be blown away.

There will also be a few surprises during

the shows, she said.

On 29 August, various childrens homes

and old-age homes will attend the dress

rehearsals, an afternoon of entertainment

that many would not have had the opportu-

nity to experience otherwise. They will also

attend shows for free.

The idea is to treat them to enjoy the

evening with us by just sitting back,

relaxing and forgetting about everything.

During the break we will give them

something to eat and drink.

We have organised transport to take

them to the venue and back home, Venter

said.

First National Bank (FNB) has been the

title sponsor for this festival for the past

seven years.

By supporting an event of this nature

we would like to demonstrate our commit-

ment to youth development and the arts.

We are proud to be associated with an

event that has established itself as a

highlight on the Grey College cultural

calendar, and which continues to deliver a

most rewarding collaboration between our

youth and experienced artists, George van

Staden, FNBs regional manager: Banking

Channels in the Free State, said.

During the schools 150th anniversary in

2005, the choir festival changed its colours

and the name changed to the Grey College

Choir Festival, which its purpose to enrich

the wide variety of music talent of the

Grey boys, giving them the opportunity

with the top artists such as the following:

Steve Hofmeyr, Laurika Rauch, DNA

Strings, Theuns Jordaan, Nianell, Anna

Davel, Dozi, Drie van die Bestes, Karen

Zoid, Lize Beekman, Jennifer Jones, Charl

du Plessis, Brandon October, Bianca le

Grange, Coenie de Villiers and Romanz.

Tickets cost R170 for both adults and

children.

They will be available from Monday at

Grey College Secondarys office.

For any more information call 051-444-

1513.

AUGUST is Womens Month and Pacofs, an

agency of the Department of Arts, Culture and

Recreation, will be celebrating the month by

hosting a womens festival from 6 to 9 August.

Productions presented this year are:

) The Fat Black Women Sing, which is a

musical and poetry piece introducing a

four-piece band and six fabulously figured

female vocalists who perform songs and poems

that reflect where we come from and who we

are as women inside these bodies in the world

today.

)Behind the Mask, a dance piece choreo-

graphed by Mdu Mtshali tells the story of

African women, hidden behind their masks.

They are forced to remove their masks by

pain, poverty, rape, humiliation, abuse and

violence as they rise to fight for their children

and themselves.

)Adjusted, The rapists go free while society

and government turn a blind eye.

)Mary . . . the Unfaithful Woman is a hard

drama which depicts the true battle of the

sexes, the love wars that couples wage against

each other in the struggle to overcome their

emotional dependency, leading to self-destruc-

tion, hate, bitterness and tragedy. This

poignant love story is another masterpiece

written and directed by Jullian Seleke Mokoto

and starring Dieketseng Mnisi.

)Women of Jazz featuring the multi-award-

winning Judith Sephuma, Thiwe Mbola

(collaborated with DJ Black Coffee), a young

phenomenal singer with the voice of an angel,

and our own local artist, Thoko Nogabe, with

her dazzling talent. The MC will be the

multi-talented actor, rape activist and budding

author, Tinah Mnumzana. The production will

be performed at Pacofs theatres in Bloemfon-

tein. Tickets are already available at the

booking office of Pacofs. For more information,

EXPELLED from the ruling party

in 2012, political analysts say the

former ANC Youth League

president, Julius Malema, is the

ANCs biggest opponent going into

the 2014 national elections.

Analysts say Malemas newly-

formed political party, the

Economic Freedom Fighters

(EFF), is highly likely to secure

enough votes to get a foot in

parliament.

The 2014 ballot is expected to

feature a number of new political

parties, including Dr Mamphela

Rampheles Agang SA, SA First, a

party of former members of the

African National Congress (ANC)

military wing, uMkhonto we

Sizwe, and the EFF.

The political analyst Hussain

Solomon said the ANC was likely

to win the elections by a 58% to

60% margin.

The ANC has held a majority of

the seats in the National Assem-

bly since 1994, being re-elected

with increasing majorities in 1999

and 2004, but had a slight fall in

its majority from 69% to 65,9% in

2009.

The party will lose votes to the

EFF, Solomon said.

The political analyst Andr

Duvenhage said it was highly

unlikely that the ANC Free State

would win the elections by an

82% margin, considering divisions

in the province.

During the partys provincial

conference the ANC Free State

chairperson, premier Ace Ma-

gashule, promised the partys

national leadership an 82%

victory in the elections.

In 2009 the Free State clinched

71% of the votes, a drastic fall

from 81% in 2004.

Forces of change in the Free

State have defected to the EFF

and that decreases votes for the

ANC, Duvenhage said.

The political analyst Theo

Neethling said Agang and the DA

would compete against each other

to secure votes from the middle

class.

Whether Agang will have its

structures in place prior to the

elections is questionable, Neeth-

ling said.

Agang does not have a charis-

matic leader like Malema who can

connect with the ordinary people

on the grass roots, Solomon

added.

The ANCs biggest opposition

party, the DA, received 11,6% of

the votes in 2009, up from 8,4% in

2004 in the Free State.

Analysts expect Cope to lose

votes following the partys

infighting over leadership posi-

tions.

The Freedom Front Plus votes

declined from 2,47% in 2004 to 2%

in 2009 in the province.

With criminal charges still

looming over Malema, Solomon

said it was not sure whether

Malema would make it to the

voting polls.

One has to wait and see if

Malema will get prosecuted

before the elections, Solomon

said.

There will be many more

Waterkloof and Nkandla scandals

before people stop voting for the

ANC, but 2019 is a different

scenario, Solomon concluded.

DIPUO PETERS, the newly-ap-

pointed minister of Transport,

has applauded the Road Accident

Fund (RAF) for its sterling work.

Peters said she thanked the

RAF for opening her eyes dur-

ing a visit to the RAF on the Road

Outreach Campaign in Thabong,

Welkom, on Saturday.

The minister, accompanied by

provincial, taxi and road safety

officials, was impressed as she

was first taken on a guided tour

of operations at theThabong com-

munity hall by RAF CEO, Dr Eu-

gene Watson.

With RAF executive and board

members in tow, the days op-

erations were outlined while

hundreds of claimants made

enquiries, finalised settlements

and laid complaints of alleged

fraud cases.

The minister later addressed

claimants and gave them the as-

surance that the RAF and govern-

ment would be there every step of

the way to give them the neces-

sary support in the unfortunate

event of accidents.

She declared war on unscrupu-

lous lawyers who rip-off claim-

ants and prey on vulnerable road

accident victims, questioning

how they could sleep at night af-

ter siphoning off money meant

for deserving people.

Even if it means these lawyers

losing their ability to practice by

striking them off the roll, so be

it.

Peters also sounded a stern

warning to touts who lay in wait

for ambulances that offload pa-

tients at hospitals after an acci-

dent then tip off lawyers.

I will speak to the minister of

Health and minister of Justice to

tackle this problem. We are not

going to turn the RAF into a ha-

ven of criminality.

The delegation was particular-

ly touched when they were taken

on a home visit of 13-year-old

Kamohlelo Radebe who was

knocked down by a truck and sus-

tained severe mental injuries al-

most ten years ago.

Radebe gets financial support

from the RAF and is being looked

after byhis grandmother as a full-

time caregiver, paid for by the

RAF. He will be admitted to a

boarding school next year.

If there was no RAF and no

compensation, what would hap-

pen to a child like Kamohelo?

Watson asked.

ON Friday the countrys leading

total beverage company honoured

its commitment to South Africans

Against Drunk Driving (SADD)

and presented them with a cheque

for R60 000.

As part of its award-winning

Drive Dry campaign, brandhouse

committed to providing funds to

the responsible drinking company

should it reach a target of 3 000

online declarations made by the

end of June.

Earlier this month, brandhouse

announced it had reached the

target and would honour its

commitment.

The target was met thanks to

the many South Africans who

declared to drink responsibly via

the Drive Dry social media

platforms. The website

(www.drivedry.co.za) links to

actual Facebook events and offers

consumers two options to

declare to either drink and not

drive or drive and not drink.

brandhouse continues to

promote responsible drinking and

encourage all consumers to take

responsibility for their own

actions, which ultimately affects

the lives of others too, said

Sibani Mngadi, external affairs

manager at brandhouse, at the

handover.

The aim of Drive Dry is to

change behaviour amongst

consumers with regard to driving

under the influence of alcohol.

We support civil society

initiatives that have the same

objective of curbing alcohol

misuse. Top of the list is South

Africans Against Drunk Driving,

which happens to have the same

passion as Drive Dry in reducing

alcohol-related carnage on our

roads, he said.

Mngadi presented Caro Smit,

founder and owner of SADD, with

the cheque at brandhouses head

office in Observatory, Cape

Town.

Smit started the SADD in 2005

after her 23-year-old son had been

killed by a drunk driver.

On behalf of the SADD I would

like to thank brandhouse for the

cheque as well as the continued

support over the years. We are a

non-profit organisation that

educates South Africans about the

dangers of drinking and driving.

We work together with

partners such as brandhouse to

save lives and bring down the

death count, says Smit.

Both parties encourage South

Africans under the influence of

alcohol to make use of a designat-

ed driver or taxi services and

public transport and incorporate

responsible drinking as an active

part of their social culture.

DR GWEN RAMOKGOPA,

South Africas deputy minister

of Health, says South African

students studying medicine in

Cuba are known for spending

their student stipend on living

a lavish life.

Our South African medical

students are known for their

opulence and wearing expen-

sive brands in Cuba, Ram-

okgopa said.

Ramokgopa was addressing

prospective medical students

short-listed for the RSA-Cuba

Medical Students Training

Programme on Sunday at

Bophelo House, Bloemfontein.

Earlier this year 6 of the 187

South African medical stu-

dents who had embarked on a

hunger strike were recalled by

minister of Health Aaron Mot-

soaledi after they had refused

to continue with their studies

unless their stipends were in-

creased. Students demanded a

$500 increase to the $200 (about

R1 600) monthly stipend they

receive, bringing it up to $700

(about R5 600). The students

were amongst 187 studentswho

had gone on a hunger strike

over stipend increases and oth-

er grievances.

Government doesnt have

that kind of money, Ram-

okgopa said.

Ramokgopa said the R2 000

stipend given to students every

month was only to cover per-

sonal items such as toiletries.

Ramokgopa said the stipend

was more than the salaries

earned by professors and other

educators in Cuba.

With a serious shortage of

doctors in the country Ram-

okgopa said the eight higher

education institutions in South

Africa did not have enough

space to enrol prospectivemed-

ical students.

She said it would take 20

years to get the 20 000 doctors

needed in the country if other

prospective medical students

didnt study in Cuba. Ram-

okgopa said students had also

complained about the Cuban

food and overcrowded lodging.

We wont increase the sti-

pend, she said.

The South African govern-

ment spends aboutR500 000 per

student over six years for a lan-

guage course, medical training

and living expenses in Cuba.

AMONG the pressing issues requir-

ing our attention, particularly in the

month of August, designated as Na-

tional Womens Month, is the need to

remove the barriers hindering the

progress of women in our societies.

The progress and empowerment of

womenandattaininga status equal to

mens, is fundamental to the well-be-

ing of the earth and its people.

The emancipation of women is not

only necessary for the future well-be-

ing of our societies; it is also a prereq-

uisite to world peace.

In one of its recent messages, the

Universal House of Justice, the gov-

erning council of the Bah interna-

tional community, states:

. . . the equality of men and wom-

en is . . . a universal spiritual truth

about an aspect of the nature of hu-

man beings . . . It is, above all, a re-

quirement of justice.

This principle is consonant with

the highest rectitude of conduct, its

application strengthens family life,

and it is essential to the regeneration

and progress of any nation, the peace

of the world, and the advancement of

civilization.

Thewell-being ofmankind depends

on the development of the potential

virtues and abilities of every individ-

ual. Women and men compliment

each other in their roles.

The happiness and stability of hu-

manity cannot be assured unless they

are both perfected and treated as

equals. According to the Bah Writ-

ings: Theworld of humanity has two

wings one is women and the other

men.Not until bothwings are equally

developed can the bird fly.

Should one wing remain weak,

flight is impossible and the happi-

nessofmankindwill be realizedwhen

women and men coordinate and ad-

vance equally, for each is the comple-

ment and helpmeet of the other.

Bahs view the equality of men

and women as an essential aspect of

abroaderprinciple: theonenessofhu-

manity. In the context of the oneness

of humanity, equality of the sexes is

not only a requirement of justice, but

it is apre-requisite forpeaceandpros-

perity.

According to the Bah Scriptures:

. . . men andwomen are equal in the

sight of God . . . The only difference

between themnow is due to lack of ed-

ucation and training.

Ifwomanisgivenequalopportuni-

ty of education, distinction and esti-

mate of inferiority will disappear.

THABO MANYONI, the ex-

ecutive mayor of the Man-

gaung Metro, launched the

Parking Metre Marshal Sys-

tem (PMS) last week.

The event took place at

Hoffman Square in the

Bloemfontein CBD on

Wednesday.

Manyoni said hewashappy

with the introduction of the

PMS, because it was a step in

the right direction by his mu-

nicipality.

This is quite a good step

for us, because we have been

seen as the only city that has

free parking. Besides creat-

ing jobs, the system will en-

sure that our motorists and

their vehicles are safe. Un-

like the traditional parking

metres, this one has a human

element. These people, the

parking marshals, can be the

ears and eyes of the commu-

nity and also of the vehicle

owners,Manyoni explained.

We are trying to get rid of

the informal car attendants

that you normally find every-

where in townwho are trying

to assist motorists with park-

ing and demand to be paid for

that. As a municipality we

want to ensure that we have

official parking marshals

who are trained to do the

job, Manyoni also alluded

the fact that the official park-

ing marshals would be paid

by his municipality.

The marshals will be paid

by us and motorists dont

need to pay them any stipend.

They are employed by the

municipality to assist themo-

torists in our area. Drivers

can give tips to marshals out

of their own will, it is not

compulsory. I want to reiter-

ate that the marshals will be

paid by the Mangaung Met-

ro, he stressed.

The system will first be

rolled out at the Charlotte

Maxeke and St Andrews

Streets, and then the city will

later announce other streets

where the PMS would be op-

erating. Motorists will be ex-

pected to pay the marshals a

set amount, depending on the

time they will be parking.

Motorists should demand

a receipt after paying for the

parking. We want to have

records of all the transac-

tions, the mayor said.

At the moment we have

employed 110 marshals. We

advertised these positions

and successful candidates

were selected. All of them

were verted to ensure that

they dont have any criminal

records.

Ultimately we are going to

need about 500 marshals to

work across our municipali-

ty.

John Solomon, one of the

marshals, said he was over

the moon to be employed by

the Mangaung Metro.

I want to applaud themay-

or for providing jobs to us.

This was long overdue. We

are going to enjoy the bene-

fits that other municipal

workers get, benefits sush as

UIF. I am so very happy.

THE Central University of

Technology (CUT), Free State,

helps combat unemployment with

its annual Career Fair connect-

ing graduates to industry jobs.

A record number of companies,

including First National Bank

(FNB), the South African Police

Service (SAPS) and the Depart-

ment of Trade and Industry (DTI),

registered to take part in the

annual graduate recruitment

event, hosted by the CUT on 24

and 25 July in the Boet Troskie

Hall, CUT Bloemfontein Campus.

The career fair is a great

networking event that we at the

CUT host annually to bring

potential employers under one

roof to interact and network with

our students, Prof. Mabokang

Monnapula-Mapesela, dean of

academic development and

support, said in her address at the

official opening of the Career Fair.

The first Career Fair in 2006

brought about only 16 employers.

In 2013 the fair has attracted over

41 companies to showcase their

portfolios and career opportunities

for CUT students. It gives students

the opportunity to meet face-to-

face with employers, explore

different companies, get more

information about various

industries and learn more about

job opportunities.

We have built strong relation-

ships with government, business

and industry and I am glad to say

we broke the record this year in

terms of a record number of

employers who were involved in

the Career Fair 2013. I am sure

that our students will be recruited

and considered for employment

after the fair, Monnapula-Mapese-

la concluded.

Present at the official opening

was Dr Herman Mashaba, a CUT

alumnus and founder of Black

Like Me. Mashaba shared his

personal tribulations and tri-

umphs as a young man growing

up in the old South Africa where

opportunities for development

were far and few in between.

Unlike the youth of today,

Mashaba said that he and many of

his peers never had the same

opportunities to attend a universi-

ty of their choice.

The CUT Human Resources

Management students also assisted

with the preparation of student

recruitment by managing a CV

Clinic, where they gave advice on

CV writing to other CUT students.

The annual Career Fair is not

only limited to graduate recruit-

ment, but is also an opportunity

for attendees to build strategic

partnerships and address the

business development needs of the

Free State. This event helps to

generate an industry-ready

workforce, said Prof. Henk de

Jager, deputy vice-chancellor:

academic at the CUT.

Career Fair keeps on growing

THE group representing the companies National Health Laboratory Service, ETDP Seta, Eduloan and South

African Breweries (SAB) has been exhibiting at the CUTs growing Career Fair for the past five consecutive

years. The event aims to link students to industry, giving them the opportunity to meet face-to-face with

employers, explore different companies, getmore information about various industries and learnmore about

job opportunities to combat unemployment of CUT students. Photo: Supplied

The reason we ask you to switch off your geyser between

5pm and 9pm, is that the country uses more electricity

during this time and supply is under severe pressure.

Switching off your geyser helps free up power for other

things and relieves the pressure on the grid.

Heres an interesting fact, the huge demand for energy

during the evening between 5pm and 9pm is the equivalent

of one power station. There is an estimated 5,4 million

electric geysers in homes across South Africa.

tein artist, has been chosen as the overall

winner for the 2013 Absa LAtelier award

For her efforts, the 33-year-old visual

artist received R125 000 from Absa, a

return air ticket to Paris and a six-month

residency at the Cit Internationale des

Arts in Paris, France.

Im so very happy to eventually win

this award. I think Ive been a finalist

eight times already. Winning it is really

like a dream come true. It is a special

feeling for me, Gutter told Express.

The prize money I won will be for my

living cost in Paris. Ill also have to use it

to buy material and to do some research

as well, she said.

Gutter completed her degree in Fine

Arts (cum laude for painting) at the

University of the Free State, obtaining

honours in Arts and Culture.

She previously participated in several

competitions and also had her solo

exhibition at the Aardklop National Arts

Festival, the University of Stellenbosch Art

Gallery, the University of Potchefstroom

Zwane, launches the

R30 million SMME

Grant Fund in Ezen-

Friday.

Announcing this

fundduringhis budg-

year, Zwane said:

Operation Hlasela,

through its power,

has enabled us to in-

teract with the peo-

ple of the Free State,

and we have real-

ised that the needs

of our people differ

from region to re-

gion, stretching from

Fezile Dabi to

Xhariep.

We are now at a

point where we have

products, services

and programmes

that will unleash the

economic potential

of our people, he

said.

Hundreds of sur-

vivalist businesses

on street corners,

pavements and small

shelters throughout

the Free State will

benefit from the

fund. Zwane said the

initiative came after

the Free State pro-

vincial government

had realised these

people had nowhere

to go for assistance

even though they al-

so contributed to the

fight against poverty,

hunger and unem-

ployment.

On Friday, the de-

ment Corporation

IT is often said that derbies are dull

affairs, but this was definitely not a

dull affair, Stuart Baxter, Kaizer

Chiefs coach, told journalists in a post-

match press conference on Saturday.

This was after Amakhosi had defeat-

ed their old foes Orlando Pirates 1-0 in

theCarlingBlackLabelCupencounter

at the FNB Stadium.

This was a tight affair. And I must

admit thatPirates gaveusa run for our

money. In the first half, they were all

over us and we kept on making some

poor decisions with the ball. Pirates

took advantage of that. They had a few

chances to score, but were unlucky.

Our defenders were brilliant and they

defended our box very well. So thats

why it was a tight game, Baxter said.

The second half for us was both

heaven and hell. We were defending

the box very, very strongly. We knew

Pirates would come on the longer the

gamewent andwe had some very good

transitions, but we gave up some very

good chances, he added.

Thewin of Saturdaywas the first for

Kaizer Chiefs in the Carling Black La-

bel Cup. Pirates won the previous two

editions of the competition by penal-

ties.

Pirates put us under a lot of pres-

sure and Im just happy to get away

MARTIN GROENEWALD is said

to be recovering well after suffer-

ing a horrifying injury on Satur-

day.

The 18-year-old lock of the Grey

High School in Port Elizabeth

broke his tibia and fibula in the

shin area during a Mutual and

Federal Premier Inter Schools

match between Grey College and

the Grey High School at Grey

College in Bloemfontein. Grey

College won 50-28.

Groenewald lay motionless after

a legal tackle by College defenders,

his leg lying mangled in an

unnatural position.

The encounter was broadcast live

on SuperSport and images of the

horrific break were beamed to

homes across South Africa.

He was rushed to the Mediclinic

Bloemfontein for medical attention.

The news of Groenewalds injury

spread like wild fire. By midday on

Monday, the YouTube clip of the

incident had attracted more than

150 000 viewers.

Volksblad, parent paper of

Express, reported on Monday that

the injured young man had not

seen that video on YouTube.

And I dont want to see it. My

leg was bent at a 90 -angle, he

said.

Groenewald, who represented

Eastern Province u.18 at Craven

Week at the beginning of the

month, has been discharged from

hospital and will today travel to

Humansdorp with his family.
