The incident occurred in June 2013.

The victim was walking in the streetalone in the early hours of the morningwhen she met the accused.

He was known to her.The man forced the woman to a nearby

donga and raped her.He was arrested the day after she had

reported the incident to the police.During the hearing, it was provisionally

withdrawn while the court awaited results

from forensic laboratories.The outcome of the case in regional court

with positive results from laboratorieslinked the accused to the crime scene.

He was found guilty and sentenced.Det. WO Aye Dlamini of the Bethlehem

Family, Child Protection and SexualOffences Unit was on cloud nine after thesentencing.

“The sentence is appreciated and the good

work by the investigating officer is appre-ciated.

“But the fact remains that walking aloneat night still creates problems and anunnecessary increase in crimes againstwomen and children,” Lt. Gen. ThabetheMpembe, the Free State police commission-er, said.

“We urge people to be aware and create asafe environment for themselves.”

BETHLEHEM. – Although happy withthe result in the ward 9 by-election inBethlehem, the ANC is dismayed withthe narrow margin with which theywon.The party won by gaining only nine

votes more than the opposition.The ANC secured 675 votes while the

DA received 666 votes during theby-election which was held on Wednes-day (28/01).Other parties which were in contest

were the Freedom Front Plus (FF+) andEconomic Freedom Fighters (EFF).They got 37 and 43 respectively.Bereng Francis Mokoena is the new

councillor for that ward. He comes in toreplace Rasehlomeng Mofokeng whoresigned last year.Job Tshabalala, the election team

coordinator of the ANC in the ThaboMofutsanyana region, said the ANCwere happy to secure that ward. Headded though, that they were notsatisfied with the number of votesobtained.“The results show that there was stiff

competition between us and the DA. We

would have loved to win the ward with abigger margin.“People who voted in that ward were not

more than 50% and that is a big concernto us. We have done everything possibleahead of the election.“We spoke to all the people in the ward

and asked them to come and vote,” hesaid.Tshabalala said he thought the time at

which the by-election had been called didnot favour them because some people wereworking outside of town and some hadalready left for school.“We are going to talk to the voters now

and then. We have also made the newcouncillor aware that he should havemeetings with the community everymonth. We are going to encourage othercouncillors to do the same.“We are also going to make sure that we

pay serious attention to service delivery,”he said.Tshabalala said they would also keep on

knocking on people’s doors with theirdoor-to-door campaigns because that waswhere they were able to get access to sickpeople who could not attend meetings.) Visit Express Eastern Free State toread more stories.

DR BENNY MALAKOANE, theFree State MEC for Health, hassaid his department was going tospend R3 million annually for afleet of vehicles to transport 554community health workers in theprovince.

According to Malakoane thedepartment has leased 35 vehiclesfrom the Free State governmentgarage with funds from theNational Health Insurance grant.

He addressed the media duringthe unveiling of the fleet ofvehicles at the Bophelo House inBloemfontein last week Monday(26 January).

The department said transporta-tion was one of the biggestchallenges for community healthworkers who are assigned toservice 250 households perworker. Long distances andunfavourable weather conditionswere cited as some of the reasonswhy community health workersstruggled to reach all householdsassigned to them.

“The vehicles will ensure thatcommunity health workers reachall households in their respectivewards,” said Sepela Matela, actingchief director of the district healthservices.

Five of the 36 vehicles havebeen allocated to the MangaungMetro, with the Thabo Mofutsan-yana District and the Lejweleput-swa District allocated ten vehiclesrespectively. The Xhariep Districtand Fezile Dabi District will beallocated four and seven vehiclesrespectively.

Malakoane said initially thedepartment had planned topurchase the vehicles to set up

the fleet last year, but the nationalHealth Department objected to theproposal.

In addition to the 554 communi-ty health workers, 885 community

care-givers will also be transport-ed by the fleet.

The MEC said communityhealth worker leaders would beresponsible for the vehicles.

Belina Sello, a communityhealth worker from Bloemfontein,said the vehicles would assisthealth workers in reaching allhouseholds, regardless of unfa-

vourable weather conditions.Sello, however, raised a concernabout the sedans provided, sayingsome of the roads in rural areasrequired vans.

BOHLOKONG. – A DAcouncillor and member ofthe Free State Legislaturehas lodged an assault andintimidation case againstANC councillors in theDihlabeng Local Municipali-ty.

DA member of the legisla-ture, Roy Jankielsohn,accused three ANC council-lors ofassaulting himand DAcouncillorDulandi Leachon Tuesday(27/01) duringa motorparadecampaigningfor theby-elections inWard 9.

In a video captured byJankielsohn, several ANCmembers in a car paradebecome agitated when theysee Jankielsohn filming theparade led by municipal andprovincial traffic vehicles.

In an attempt to forceJankielsohn to stop filmingthe parade, some of the ANCmembers allegedly startedthreatening DA members.

According to Jankielsohn,the ANC councillors in thevideo are Cllr Job Tshabala-la, the chief whip cllr,Lindiwe Magalema, and theWard 7 councillor, Ma-motshwane Mofokeng.

Jankielsohn said thealtercation took place whenthey had gone to investigatethe alleged abuse of munici-pal vehicles for partypolitical purposes by theANC.

“In this video municipal

and provincial trafficvehicles can be seen illegallyleading an ANC campaignmotorcade,” Jankielsohnsaid.

“At the time, all trafficlights in Bethlehem were outof order due to load shed-ding. It would have been theright thing to do to deploytraffic officials to directrush-hour traffic instead ofleading an ANC motorcade,”

he added.Jankielsohn

said thebehaviour ofthe councillorsagainst himand Leach hadbeen unaccept-able.

Tshabalala,however,denied theallegations

and said Jankielsohn hadprovoked ANC members atthe motorcade.

“The ANC never interfereswith DA programmes,”Tshabalala added.

The DA says it will alsoreport the incident to theIndependent ElectoralCommittee for investigationunder the electoral code ofconduct and write to thePublic Protector to investi-gate the abuse of stateresources.

“It is illegal to campaignon the day of elections,”Jankielsohn explained.

The motorcade was heldduring special votes in Ward9. In 2011 the DA lost theward to the ANC by 34votes. Police spokesperson,Srg. Mmako Mophiring,confirmed that a case ofassault and intimidation hadbeen opened.

PHUTHADITJHABA. – TheNational First Division (NFD) outfitMaluti FET College has appointedJonny “Raps” Mafereka as the headcoach.

Mafereka, the former MovingSpurs FC mentor, has joined Malutito replace Morena Ramorebudi, whojoined their arch-rivals, AfricanWarriors, at the beginning of thisyear. He started with his coachingduties on 26 January.

Mafereka guided Spurs in the SafaFree State Vodacom League, now theABC Motsepe League, for fourseasons. He will be assisted byformer Chippa United and Polok-wane City player, Tshepo Tomanya-ne.

The duo is faced with the hugetask of guiding the team away fromrelegation. Mafereka is adamant thatthey will achieve that, as they areequal to the task.

When he joined Spurs, he wasfaced with the same situation. Theteam was left with ten games andwith his coaching abilities andtactics he succeeded.

Maluti finds itself at the bottom ofthe log, with eight points in 16games. They are four points behindGarankuwa United. Their next testcomes on 11 February, when theywelcome Santos at the CharlesMopeli Stadium in Qwaqwa. Thekick-off is at 15:30.

Mafereka said he was happy to betrusted with guiding a team ofMaluti’s calibre. He said he wouldmake sure that he did not disap-point.

This is his first experience ofcoaching in the NFD stage and it isan open secret that he has come at abad time, when he is expected tosave the team from drowning.

However, Raps told ExpressEastern Free State that he knew whatwas expected of him. He added thathe had saved a team from relegationbefore, even though the stages weredifferent.

“I am used to pressure. Actually, acoaching job is all about that, even ifyou’re not at the bottom of theleague,” Mafereka said.

He said he would save the team.“Anything is possible. The

management of the team and theplayers are positive and that is whatwill help us going forward.”

Raps said he was not going tomake any changes in the team.

“I am going to work with the

players who have been with theteam. It would not be a good idea toadd new players, because they mighttake time to adjust,” he said.

Fourteen Monnanyane, the teammanager, confirmed the appointment.

“Yes, we have appointed him asour coach. He will work withTomanyane as his assistant.”

Monnanyane said Raps andTomanyane were expected to guidethe team out of the relegation zone.

“We believe in them, that is whywe gave them that responsibility,” hesaid.)Do you think Jonny “Raps”Mafereka and Tshepo Tomanyanecan save Maluti FET College FCfrom relegation?

IT is really disturbing that every month wehear of service delivery protests and howthe community vandalised property as wellas state-owned buildings.Let’s bring this home. I stay in Bohlo-

kong and the truth of the matter is that welack service delivery. The municipality isreactionary and not preventative.There is a spot near BFT Chisanyama

where most of these so-called municipalofficials indulge and show off their expen-sive cars and deep wallets.This spot is between the four traffic

lights in Delivers Street. It pains me to seehow this section of the tar road is erodingand it is hard for vehicles to pass.

Maybe the reason it has not been fixed, isbecause it is fun and adventurous for theseofficials to drive their 4x4s there becausefor months there has been no service.The rest of Bohlokong has bad tar roads

and speed humps that damage car bumpers.We are driving in a township that is

losing its value daily and every time it

rains, it shows just how bad our stormwater drainage system is.Does this mean we have qualified people

who are public servants, people who dowhat is expected of them?What do they report in service delivery

meetings or is handing out dustbins theonly listed form of service delivery?Can we really say the ANC is doing its

bit to transform Bethlehem? Where aredecent parks in the location? Storm waterdrainage?Or are we still going to keep mum about

pavements that are only being built whereofficials live?Maybe I should move to Lesotho.

FEBRUARY is the excitingmonth of sharing love, climaxingwith the Valentine’s Daycelebration on 14 February.All around us, advertisers are

bombarding us with what youcan do to show how much youlove and appreciate the one youare with.In line with sharing love, the

South African National BloodService (SANBS) encouragesSouth African citizens to donateblood.“It can also be a time to show

your love to those you maynever meet by donating bloodand making a difference in thelives of others,” says VanessaRaju, communications managerat SANBS. January blood stocklevels seemed to have dropped toless than one day in someprovinces with the nationalaverage of two days for most ofthe month.“We need the public to join

the blood donation communityand start donating a minimumof four times a year. February isalso the month dedicated tohealthy lifestyle awareness,”Raju says.“Reports show that in the past

five years, there has been anincrease in the number of peoplediagnosed with heart diseases,cancer and various otherhealth-related illnesses.”Lifestyle diseases are triggered

by our unhealthy lifestylechoices like smoking, being

overweight, indulging in anunhealthy diet filled with fattyfoods and limited fruits andvegetables, limited physicalactivity and high stress levels.The SANBS supports Healthy

Lifestyle Awareness Month andencourages South Africans tostart paying attention to problemareas in their health, go forregular medical check-ups andcontrol their stress levels.“Stress has a significant

impact on lifestyle illnesses.People need to make time forregular exercise, spend timedoing things they enjoy, learnsome relaxation techniques andjust reward themselves withsome time to relax,” says Raju.“Although the ‘silent killers’

can be prevented, for the alreadydiagnosed, successful treatmentis a debilitating matter of lifeand death.“The treatment of the majority

of these diseases requires bloodtransfusions. The increase inaffected patients means anincreased demand for blooddonations,” Raju warns.People who meet the minimum

requirements are encouraged tobecome regular blood donors.Donors can visit the SANBS

branches to donate blood duringthe following hours: Mondays:10:00 – 16:45, Tuesdays: 09:00 –18:00, Wednesdays: 09:00 – 16:45,Thursdays: 09:00 – 16:45,Fridays: 09:00 – 16:45 andSaturdays: 09:00 – 13:00.

REV. THEUNIS BOTHA, leader of theChristian Democratic Party (CDP):

IT is high time that the ANC listens toexpert opinion when it comes to its poli-cies. It is an exercise in futility to send anelaborate contingent to Davos to attempt tomesmerise investors into investing in SouthAfrica, and then, the very next week,making policies that fly in the face ofpromises made to investors.The fact that organised agriculture says it

is a shame that the ANC does not under-stand farming, and therefore makesridiculous decisions, is a case in point.There have been numerous opportunitieswhere organised agriculture has exchangedfacts with government, but it seems asthough the ANC is conveniently politicallydeaf.The decision that deployed cadres must

be suitably qualified, flies in the face ofeffectiveness. It often happens that a personwith the right qualifications cannot do thework, or does not care to do the work. Themost suitable person, irrespective ofpolitical affiliation or background, shouldbe appointed to make the country work.

SHAKES MASHABA has insistedhe was right to raise the hopes ofSouth Africans when he suggestedBafana Bafana was prepared to goall the way to the final of the 2015Africa Cup of Nations.

On arrival back home onSaturday (31/01) the national teamcoach reflected on his earlierpromise.

Mashaba was quoted before thetournament saying he had packedenough clothes until 8 February,the day of the Afcon Final in Bata,

Equatorial Guinea. However,Bafana were knocked out in thegroup stage.

He insists he does not regret hiscomment.

“There is no way a commandercan say to his team that they aregoing to be massacred. We alwayssay, let’s prepare ourselves to goand fight, which is what our boysdid,” Mashaba says.

“We wanted to win that cup, butthings didn’t go our way. As headcoach, there is no doubt in my

mind that we were mentally andphysically ready for the Afcon.After the qualifiers, we realisedanything was possible and that iswhy we were saying we were goingto win it.

“As the technical team, we stilldon’t believe we were wrong insetting this goal for ourselves.Some may argue that it wasperhaps unrealistic and ambitiousand that may be so, but for us itwas a challenge.”– KickOff.com

No regrets for Mashaba

A TRIBUTE to menwith exemplaryfatherhood qualitiesis on offer inBhekuyise Jobe’slatest self-producedalbum.Tata, meaning

father, has been onthe market sincelast December. Thisis another home-brewed traditionalAfrican offering bythe Maskandi artist.In it he alsodisplays his roots.

Jobe composed allsongs, infused witha good mix ofacoustic guitar andkeyboard, addingflair in vocal with his distinctive voice.

Having covered a variety of aspects, suchas relationships involving men and womenand life in general, this album reflects hismusical craft.

His thoughts are eloquently expressed inZulu, his home language.

Featuring 17 tracks, Jobe pays tribute tothe two men he respects most of all, butwho are no more. They are his biologicalfather, Dliwayo Jobe, and Nelson Mandela,who died in 2011 and 2013 respectively.

Dedication to his father is in a song titledUkujabula, meaning to be happy. Twospecial songs, both titled Tata, is dedicatedto the iconic South African statesmanMandela.

“I completed working on the albumbefore Mandela passed in December 2013.The delay in releasing had to do with theengineering production company I contract-ed,” Jobe said.

“Besides my father, I single out Mandelato show appreciation of his leadershipquality and sacrifice in his mission for abetter life Z not only for himself, but for usall. I see his work and sacrifice parallel tothat by Jesus Christ, as depicted in theBible.”

The other tribute song to Madiba, abonus, followed shortly after his passing. “Iso wished Mandela was still alive, soperhaps my message could reach him.”

Jobe began to put together his master-

piece album in June 2013 at his own studiowhere he resides in Welkom’s township ofThabong. He also has a take on the lighterevents in life, in a track title UyidlaKanjani? (how do you chew it?)

Its level of popularity having made itsomewhat of an anthem, this song is aboutdisgusting eating habits. Especially thetendency people have to blow big bubblesin someone’s face when chewing bubble-gum.

“I also chew bubblegum sometimes, but Ifind it very irritating when people blow bigbubbles in others’ faces.

“Through this song I’m trying to instilgood manners in a way. Interesting, thevery same is popular with young childrensinging it,” said Jobe.

The production of the album was affordedto Jobe to showcase his musical ability.

“It is a self-produced album and, givenfeedback I’m receiving, I have surpassedexpectations. I have put in great effort as Iwanted to offer something new and awe-some to show growth as an artist,” saidJobe.

The album is the first production underhis own company, Bhekuyise Production,which he founded last year. With his facebeaming with joy he said: “I’m so gratefulto God for my achievement to produce thealbum and establish a company.”) Find Bekhuyise Jobe’s live performanceat www.express-news.co.za

BETHLEHEM. – The Maluti FETCollege has walloped SuperEagles FC 5-1 and 5-2 respective-ly in the two friendly gamesplayed in the Bohlokong Stadi-um in Bethlehem on Wednes-day.The two games were part of

preparations for the NationalFirst Division (NFD) campaign-ers of Maluti ahead of thesecond round that kicks off nextWednesday after a long break.They were also pivotal games

for Eagles FC who is second onthe Safa Free State ABC Motsepelog table. They have collected 27points in 11 games. The Eaglesteam is one point away from thelog leader, Hunters FC.

Maluti was playing under thenew mentorship of Jonny “Raps”Mafereka.Mgababa Mantshu, the Eagles’

coach, said playing againstMaluti was a blessing to them,because they had learned thingsthat would make them a betterteam if they could apply themgoing forward.“Yes, we were beaten by a

bigger margin in both games, butwe have achieved what wewanted out of those games.“We had a chance to look at

some players who have struggledto make it in the 18-man squad.Our level of concentration wasnot right. We should work onthat.“We have been giving away

goals in the first 30 minutes of

the games and that is when weshould be able to keep things atbay,” he said.Coach Mafereka said he was

happy with Maluti FET College’sperformance. He said he wouldlike to play two to three friendlygames before their leagueencounter against Santos on 11February at the Charles MopeliStadium in Qwaqwa.

“The boys played well and I amhappy.“We have managed to score

ten goals in two games and thatis positive considering the factthat the team has been strugglingto hit the back of the net,” hesaid.Mafereka said they would,

however, not get carried away bybeating the Eagles by that marginand pointed out that they wouldhave to look at the missedopportunities and the onesscored.“We created more scoring

opportunities during both gamesand if we were clinical we shouldhave scored more.“We will also make sure that

we remain tight at the back,” hesaid.
