BARELY a year after starting
her business, an entrepreneur
from the Free State walked
away with the enterPRIZE Job
Creation Challenge award at a
ceremony held at the President
Hotel in Bloemfontein on
Thursday night.
Faith Leburu (24) of Bloemfon-
tein received the award,
together with a first-prize
money reward of R125 000, after
starting a company, Med-deliver,
that will be specialising in
delivering medication to
government hospitals in an
innovative way.
I feel really blessed to win
the social enterprise category,
because I am very passionate
about helping society and also
creating a sustainable enter-
prise.
That is why I decided to
combine social factors into
social entrepreneurship,
Leburu told Express.
I started the company
knowing that it would be
sustainable.
I do not want to depend on
government or corporate
funding. This is a self-sustaining
project.
I am very happy that I won
this award. I hope that from
now on I am going to be
changing lives, no matter how
small the change, because it
doesnt matter how little can be
done, every bit counts
especially when you work with
society, she said.
Leburu said that through
determination and hard work,
small businesses can overcome
the many obstacles faced in the
initial stages.
I think the amount of money I
won, is enough to start the project.
I will be using bicycles and a
scooter in the first eight months of
the business until I start breaking
through. I am going to use the
money I won strictly on business.
The 2013 Free State enterPRIZE
Job Creation Challenge, which was
officially launched on 27 February
by the International Labour
Organisation (ILO) in partnership
with the Flanders International
Cooporation Agency (Fica), the
Department of Economic Develop-
ment, Tourism and Environmental
Affairs (Detea) and the Small
Enterprise Development Agency
(Seda) honoured 42 entrepre-
neurs in 14 different categories.
Jens Dyring Christensen, ILO
chief technical advisor, said:
One of the important means to
address the very high levels of
unemployment in the province
is through the stimulation of
entrepreneurship and innova-
tion allowing potential and
existing entrepreneurs to
identify and exploit new market
opportu- nities, thereby creating
more economic growth.
We plan for this competition
to become an annual event and
that more entrepreneurs in the
years to come will be inspired
and challenged to find ways to
create more jobs in the prov-
ince. According to the organis-
ers of the event, 549 entries
were received from Free State
entrepreneurs.
Some of the winners were
from as far afield as Qwaqwa,
Ficksburg, Kroonstad and Parys.

Girls empowered to be leaders
}
Sidwell Guduka
IN an effort to empower chil-
dren, the office of the Public
Protector in the Free State
hosted 20 pupils from differ-
ent schools in Mangaung,
Bloemfontein, who on Thurs-
day participated in the annu-
al Cell C Take a Girl Child to
Work Day Campaign where
the aimwas to empower these
learners.
The learners were of Tsose-
letso High School, Kaelang
Secondary School, Kagisho
Comprehensive School and
Hodisa Technical School.
The event, initiated by the
cellphone giant 11 years ago,
aims to inspire girls through
exposing them to a wide
range of career opportuni-
ties.
It also recognises the need
to provide learners with the
ideal opportunity to assist
them in making informed de-
cisions enabling them to be-
come future leaders.
The themeunderlining this
years campaign was Empow-
er a Girl, Empower a Nation.
We are here to celebrate
the day with the girls and to
encourage them to be the
best that they can be.
We feel that the girls life
is very special to us. We be-
lieve that they are the future
mothers of the nation. We al-
so believe that by empower-
ing them, we are empowering
the nation, Wiaan Vermaak,
Cell C managing executive in
the Central Region, told Ex-
press.
The campaign has been
very successful over the
years. We are extremely hap-
py about the support we re-
ceive from the government,
businesses and the public in
general. The public is very
enthusiastic about the cam-
paign.
Today we are well sup-
ported by the Public
Protector, Pacofs and Seda,
which represent local gov-
ernment.
We are very proud to part-
ner with them in this specific
event,Vermaak said, adding
that his company wanted to
promote real learning in the
country.
As for the criteria they use
to choose girls to participate
in the campaign, he ex-
plained that they went to lo-
cal schools and selected girls
who were available on the
day.
These are usually gr. 11
and gr. 12 studentswe feel are
going to enter the business
sphere in a very short period
of time, he explained.
Jackie Ntshingila, the Free
States provincial manager of
Seda, said: As Seda we have
been participating in the
campaign for the past three
years. We did it with all the
branches last year and it was
very successful.
So when Cell C ap-
proached us to say they have
this kind of thing happening
in Bloemfontein today, we
felt we better take it on with
them, because it is a great ini-
tiative. We really feel blessed
to have been part of this, be-
causewhenyou educate a girl
or empower her you definite-
ly empower a nation.
It is so important to Seda
to develop and empower all
girls in South Africa.
We believe that the Take a
Girl Child to Work Campaign
is one of those initiatives
which are very critical in en-
suring that girls become the
leaders of tomorrow, Ntsh-
ingila concluded.

At first I thought it was a stone, but thought
thiswas impossiblebecause Iwas facing theRed
Ants, not the demonstrators. After about five
minutes I started feeling a lot of pain, Mofo-
keng told Express.
The evictees were emotional because alter-
native arrangements for accommodation had
not beenmade. But my pain was physical. I had
been shot in the chest, but (even) before that, I
had been slapped twice. The guard had walked
away from me as the pain intensified, he said.

had been opened but the court had withdrawn
charges against the 26-year-old suspect.

The Gospel more than a story or doctrine
}
Elder Jonathan B Ndlovu
WE do not have to go to the
psychologist or the doctor or the
scientist or sociologist to get the
answer to the question: What is
the Gospel? There is but one
place to turn to the Living
Word of God, the Holy Bible.
For I am not ashamed of the
Gospel of Christ: for it is the
Power of God unto salvation to
every one who believes; to the Jew
first, and also to the Greek (Rom.
1:16).
Paul might have described the
Gospel as being Good News, a
doctrine, a creed or theory
or a story or a number of other
things, but He did not use any
of these definitions.
Instead, he declared it to be
the Power of God.
Psalm 62:11 says: I . . .have
heard this that power belonged
unto God.
Let us hear another scripture:
and she will bring forth a son,
and thou shall call his name
Jesus; for he shall save his people
from their sins. (Matt. 1:21).
Scripture is to be compared
with scripture. Truth once laid
down in the Word of God, do not
need to be repeated in just the
same words again. Jesus is the
heart of the Gospel and the
power of God unto salvation
from sin. The rest is but a
theory, or a story, or a doctrine
or such like.
As power belongs to Christ
(Ps. 62:11), He says: I and my
Father are one. (John 10:30).
They are associated on equal
terms.
With this tremendous power it
says: I was in the beginning with
God. All things were made by
Him, and with Him, this world
was called into existence and
which now is employed to save
the repentant from sin.
Therefore redemption is
creation repeated who are dead
in trespasses and sins. (Eph. 2:1)
and the man in Christ is a new
creation. (2 Cor. 5:17)
When He created man in the
beginning, it is said, and the
Lord formed man of the dust of
the ground, and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life; and
man became a living soul (Gen.
2:7). The Gospel is the way in
which God exerts His power for
salvation. Wherever the Gospel
finds believing hearts, it is a
divine power by which all the
obstacles to mans redemption
are removed.
Paul is stating a fact that he
knows to be true from his own
experience. He has felt this
Power of God in his life.
. . .for the preaching of the cross
is to them that perish foolishness:
but unto which are saved, it is
the Power of God. (1 Cor. 1:48).
) Part two of this article will
be published next week.

GETTING into university was supposed to be

at success, or so I thought.
Almost a year ago, on 28 June, this dream of
success was shattered when I was raped.
As usual, I took a taxi from downtownBloem-
fontein to Brandwag. I sat in the front seat. I
knew the driver and had spoken to him a couple
of times. So when he asked me if I could go to
Naval Hill with him because he wanted to fetch
some people, I didnt mind. He parked at an old
building there and he started kissing me. I told
him to stop or I would call the cops. I dialled
10111and thatswhenhegotmadandthreatened
to break my phone. He told me to choose be-
tween walking back and sleeping with him. I
chose to walk. As I was about to get out of the
carhepulledmyweaveand strangledme. I tried
so hard to fight him off, but he overpoweredme.
He raped me and I let him get away with it. For
months I pretended nothing had happened until
I finally had the guts to tell someone.
I missed a lot of classes and I failed. This year
Iwas told to getmy act together or leave the uni-
versity. So far I havent beenable to improvemy
grades. So, I guess Ill have to do the walk of
shamenextyear.Eversince thatday,mylifehas
been turned upside down after I had been grant-
edabursaryby theFreeStateDepartmentofEd-
ucation and lost it because I had failed.
I used to think keeping quiet about the rape
was going to make things easy for me. It hasnt.
I had an anxiety attack not so long ago. The
stress is slowly tearingmeapart. Ihaveconstant
headaches and I cant stop crying. To make
things worse I have become so bitter and angry.
If only I could do things differently I would give
100%ineverything I do. I realisenow that I have
let that dog win and what tears me apart the
most is the realisation that my grandmother
might never seeme graduate from theUniversi-
ty of the Free State. After all my hard work all
my dreams might never come true. I allowed
myself to be a victim.
If I knew then what I know now, that what
happened was not my fault and that he should
pay for what he did, I would have reported the
case. I cant describe what I am going through.
Only someone who has walked inmy shoes will
understand what it feels like.

THE Department of Labour warns
employers not to fall prey to crimi-
nals visiting businesses under the
guise of being labour officials with
the aim of swindling them.
This comes after three individu-
als, twowomenandamanof Indian
origin, were reported to be visiting
employers in the Zastron and
Wepener areas and threatened to
closedownbusinesses if employers
did not buy their labour legisla-
tion charts such as the Basic Con-
ditions of Employment Act
(BCEA), Employment Equity Act
(EEA) and Occupational Health
and Safety Act (OHSA).
The Department of Labour does
not sell any legislation or docu-
ments about labour laws to mem-
bers of the public.
If employers need these docu-
ments, they should contact their
nearest offices of the department.
Employers should be wary of any
person who visits their workplace
under the name of the department
and demand some form of identifi-
cation. For further confirmation
an employer can call the office to
verify if indeed the person works
for the department, said Marsha
Bronkhorst, the chief director for
provincial operations.
Therehasbeenastringof reports
around the province about individ-
uals, some posing as labour inspec-
tors, visiting workplaces conduct-
ing inspections or selling labour
legislation with the aim of robbing
unsuspecting employers.
The Department of Labour in-
spectors are the only officials who
are allowed to carry out labour in-
spections andwill do so byprior ar-
rangement. They will be able to
identify themselves and they are
never allowed to receive any mon-
ey fromemployers.Any suspicious
individual conduct should be re-
ported to the South African Police
Services (SAPS).

Department
refutes allegations
about examresults
IN response to vari-
ous media reports on
the delay in the re-
lease of Engineering
Studies results, the
Department ofHigher
Education and Train-
ing (DHET) wishes to
rectify the miscon-
ceptions and incor-
rect facts being re-
ported.
The preliminary in-
vestigation into the
Engineering Studies
irregularities has
identified 211 candi-
dates linked to irregu-
larities out of the total
of 144 752 candidates
who wrote the first
trimester examina-
tions.
The actions taken
and delay in the re-
lease of Engineering
Studies results were
taken to protect the
integrity of the na-
tional examination
system, as well as the
efforts of the 144 541
candidates who sat
and wrote this exami-
nation and legitimacy
of qualifications be-
ing awarded in the
Further Education
and Training (FET)
sector.
These actions by
the department
shows the serious-
ness and relevance of
theFETcollege sector
within the post-
school education and
training system, and
the role this sector
has to play in provid-
ing the requisite
skills required by the
economy.
It is therefore im-
perative that all
stakeholders contin-
ue to work together
and inspire confi-
dence in a system that
is designed to deliver
the scarce skills need-
ed by the economy
and recognises FET
colleges as institu-
tions of first choice
particularly for
young people.
The position of the
department is that no
student should be de-
nied access to aca-
demic programmes
due to the delay in the
release of results and
similarly, those stu-
dents whomeet the fi-
nancial and academic
eligibility criteria for
financial aid through
NSFAS.
Colleges have been
assisting Engineer-
ing Studies students
affected by the late re-
lease of results to reg-
ister on the next level
for trimester 2. The
department is moni-
toring the registra-
tion of trimester 2 stu-
dents and providing
assistance where re-
quired.
In relation to the al-
leged 25% downward
adjustment, it is the
responsibility of the
department and
Umalusi to accurate-
ly reflect the perform-
ance of each candi-
date and the depart-
ment refutes
allegations made in
some media reports
that there had been a
25% downward ad-
justment in themarks
of students as a conse-
quence of the report-
ed irregularities.
The department
wishes to reiterate
that it views these ir-
regularities in a seri-
ous light and crimi-
nal innature, andwill
do everything within
its power to safeguard
the integrity of thena-
tional examination
system by holding in-
dividuals accounta-
ble and working
closelywith theSouth
African Police Serv-
ice (SAPS) to identify
perpetrators. The
DHET appeals to the
public and students to
actively contribute to
its efforts to eradicate
this scourge.
MOTHEO FET COLLEGE STUDENTS participated in various sporting
codes in the 2013 Ball
Games hosted at Welkom High in Welkom on 25 May. The Motheo
womens soccer team
were victorious after humiliating the Maluti FET College in the
first game of the day. The
boys soccer team were beaten by the Flavius Mareka FET College
in the final. The rugby
team went on to lose to Goldfields in a nasty rugby match. The
chess team easily made
their way to victory which saw four members out of six being
selected to participate in
the national tournament to be held in Limpopo later this year.

Soldiers hone their
skills with exercise
}
Sidwell Guduka
AS many as 75 soldiers parti-
cipated in Exercise Chest of
Steel Five in the Free State.
The event was held at the
Gen. De Wet Training Arena,
De Brug, just outside
Bloemfontein. It ran for two
weeks.
Lt Col William Jansen, the
commanding officer of 1 SA
Tank Regiment, said the sce-
nario they used in the excer-
cise was fictitious and was
based on a certain country
somewhere in Africa.
TheExerciseChest of Steel
Five is a continuation excer-
cise whereby we specially fo-
cus on the capabilities of the
staff officers to do planning on
the brigate level. It has been
very successful in the past
four years, Jansen told Ex-
press.
This exercise is an initia-
tive of the South African Ar-
mour Formation headquar-
ters.
It is the fifth exercise that
we are executing. We started
off with the convertional sce-
nario and gradually we re-
duced the convertional sce-
nario to a peace-keeping sce-
nario.
This particular Excercise
Chest of Steel Five is based on
peace enforcement, in UN
terms a Chapter 7 mission,
he explained.
We have different levels
whereby we do planning on a
military strategic level, oper-
ational level, and obviously,
on the tactical level. The bri-
gade is currently on the tacti-
cal level where we do that
planning.
Jansen said most of their
members that participated in
the Exercise Chest of Steel
Five were learners on the reg-
imental commanders course.
We introduced soldiers to
the new computers. We man-
aged to use all the moves well.
Specialists played a pivotal
role in making this exercise a
great success.
He further said that theydid
the command post exercises
with the tank units.

DAVID KOLOANE, a well-
known former long-distance
athlete from Bloemfontein and
currently administrator and
road race referee for Athletics
Free State (AFS), scored a rare
distinction on Sunday.
Koloane was called up by the
Comrades Marathon Associa-
tion (CMA) to officiate at the
88th Comrades Marathon from
Durban to Pietermaritzburg.
The Comrades (86 km) is the
biggest ultra-marathon in the
world and more than 15 000
starters lined up to tackle this
race.
Koloane was not only called
up as a referee, he did duty as
referee for the first ten men
(gold medallists) and that is
something to write home about
for his first outing as a
Comrades referee.
Although I was nervous, it
was one the most satisfying
experiences of my life.
It was amazing to experi-
ence how people from a
different culture, race and
country could become com-
rades during the time they
spent on the road and after-
wards, Koloane told Express
after the race.
He said he had been on duty
at the start of the race to
ensure that everything was
ready for the frontrunners to
start without any problems.
From there it was a drive to
the finish where I had to
ensure that the top ten guys
were adhering to all the rules
and regulations.
Runners in the race run
and/or finish with different
kinds of advertisement ban-
ners, of which some may
offend other athletes, spectators
and TV viewers. And this must
be addressed. Ill obviously
discuss this in a post-race
meeting.
I would suggest that no
offending religious, cultural
and/or political banners should
be allowed at the race, he
added.
Koloane is a former South
African junior 3 000 m steeple-
chase champion and has been
involved in athletics adminis-
tration for more than a decade
and a half.
He possesses a level 2
technical official certificate and
has been the manager of the
Transnet relay team which won
the prestigious JP Morgan
Corporate Relay in New York
several times, to mention only
a few of this former Navalsig
High School hostel head boys
achievements.
Koloane is currently
employed by Transnet in
their Human Resources
Department.
