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.

THE Interstate Bus Lines-spon-
sored (IBL) promotional rural
soccer league, held from
November until July every year,
has once again come to an end.
IBL sponsors the league to the
tune of R100 000 and has 174

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.
