“YOU must go and burn that red beret.Your mother will not be happy that youare wearing that. She was a real warriorof the ANC.”These were the words of Sisi Ntombela,
MEC for Social Development, to Motla-lepule Lephoto (26) from Ficksburg whohas joined the newly formed EconomicFreedom Fighters (EFF).Ntombela has urged Lephoto to come
back to the ANC, stating that the partyneeded him. She said Lephoto’s mother, aformer provincial executive committeemember, would turn in her grave if hewore the red colours of the EFF.Lephoto’s mother, Mafusi Lehalehale,
was also a speaker of the Sesotho Munici-pality. She died in 2004.“This child joined the EFF with a false
hope that he will be employed. I calledhim back because the ANC is where hebelongs,” Ntombela said.She was in tears as she pleaded with
Tjhetane Mofokeng, the executive mayorof the Dihlabeng Municipality, to giveLephoto a job. She spoke during therecent election campaign of the ANCWomen’s League held at the newBohlokong Hall in Bethlehem.“Tjhetane, please do something for this
child. His mother was a true warrior ofthis party. We have talked to the SetsotoMunicipality on several occasions butthey did not listen. Even if he has tosweep the street, let it be. We want thischild. Please, my mayor: Save the onlychild of Mafusi,” she said in tears.Ntombela gave R6 702 that she had
collected from the members of the
ANCWL as a donation. Lephoto said he hadjoined the EFF last year with the hope to geta job.“I thought the EFF will be the answer to
my problem. Yes, my mother was a die-hardmember of the ANC, but I was left inno-man’s land after she passed away,” hesaid. He said since he had joined the EFF hehad never been hungry like he has been withthe ANC. “I was always with them on
campaigns and they were doing everythingfor me,” he said.Lephoto said the MEC had called him and
asked to meet with him in Bethlehem. Hesaid he had thought the reason why Ntombe-la called him was because maybe she hadbeen realised that he was not happy wherehe was at.“I joined the EFF with a broken heart, not
because I wanted to. I loved the ANC, but I
was developing something for the newparty,” he pointed out. Lephoto said hewas happy with what the MEC had donefor him, adding that this gesture showedthat they still remembered his mother.“I am coming back to the ANC and I
will make sure that I call all my friendsback,” he concluded.)Visit express-news.co.za for morepictures.

stolen while parkedin the street, attaverns or fromyards.“Property-related crimes are a
priority within the two clustersand theft of motor vehicles isone of them. The recentincrease is a great concernwithin the community of theEastern Free State and for thepolice,” he says.“A few arrests have been
made in some cases, but theproblem still continues.“Even though individuals
could be involved in theseactivities, the possibility oforganised crime or a syndicatecannot be ruled out.“The suburbs targeted in

MOSIUOA LEKOTA, thepresident of the Congress ofthe People (Cope), is consult-ing with constitutional lawexperts and other relevantparties in order to make surethe party responds to thePublic Protector’s findings onNkandla in an appropriatemanner.“We have noted some of
the key findings of the PublicProtector’s report and aregravely concerned about theimplications of these find-ings. But the matter underconsideration is too seriousfor a knee-jerk reaction andmust be thoroughly consid-ered before we table ourresponse,” says Lekota.Lekota says Cope has also
noted reaction by civilsociety and other oppositionparties, and stressed that thisis not the time for politicalpoint-scoring, but to ensurethat the country’s interestsare served well.“The Congress of the
People takes constitutionalissues very seriously and weare not going to becomeinvolved in popularitycontests. Suffice it to say, webelieve the president and thecabinet ministers who wereinvolved in this matter havea lot to answer for,” he says.Lekota says Cope will
further consult with mem-bers of the Collective forDemocracy and will make ajoint announcement, as aconcerted effort and responseis required when dealingwith transgressions of thismagnitude.“I would like to reiterate
that the Congress of thePeople’s position is that theparty will not make excusesfor anyone – within ourparty, the Collective forDemocracy or indeed ingovernment, when it comesto corruption, maladministra-tion or flouting legal process-es, as the Public Protector’sreport seems to suggest wasthe case at Nkandla,”concludes Lekota.

MEMBERS of the National EducationHealth and Allied Workers Union (Ne-hawu) painted Phuthaditjhaba red whenthey marched from the PhuthaditjhabaHall to the Mofumahadi Manapo MopeliRegional Hospital to hand over a memo-randum against maladministration,outsourcing of services and privatisationat the hospital.Mokapi Mokhachane, provincial acting
secretary, said their main issue was themanagement of the hospital which frustra-ted their members.“Recently there has been an alarming
number of nurses resigning from thishospital because of management. In aperiod of 12 months, 25 nurses haveresigned. On top of this they are nothiring new nurses.“We are also against the outsourcing of
interpersonal transfers to the ButheleziAmbulance Services and others. Otherservices which are outsourced, includecleaning, catering and security. We don’twant companies in our hospital like thepremier said,” said Mokhachane.Mokhachane explained that their
demands included the immediate dismissalof the nursing service manager, in-sourc-
ing of security and the catering at thehospital.He also pointed out that they were not
marching against the ANC.“The actions and decisions by managers
will not change our confidence in theANC. The party brought change to thelives of the people and the workers ofSouth Africa. But we’ll not tolerate whatthe officials are doing to the workers,”Mokhachane concluded.Thabo Shuping, a security officer
working for a company hired by thehospital, said he supported the marchbecause the private companies did nottreat them well.“I would love to see us working for the
Department of Health, because theseprivate companies are not treating us well.Like now, we have worked for two monthswithout a salary. I have worked for threedifferent companies at this hospital.“When the contracts end, we become
stressed because we don’t know if our jobsare safe. We have been promised that thedepartment will hire us, but that neverhappens,” said Shuping.The memorandum was received by
Mzonakele Fikizolo, the deputy directorgeneral of resource management at thedepartment.

BUTI MOTSOENENG is thenewly elected president of theSouth African Schools FootballAssociation (Sasfa) for the ThaboMofutsanyana District.
He was elected at the recentSasfa Thabo Mofutsanayanaannual general meeting (AGM)which was held at the GreylingBuilding in Bethlehem.
Motsoeneng was unchallengedon the day and takes over fromBongani Chabalala who hasserved Sasfa for three years.
Motsoeneng says people trustand have faith in him. That iswhy he was unchallenged on theday.
“The results showed peoplebelieve in me and I will notdisappoint them. I, however,would like them to support meas well so that we can achieveour long- and short-term goals.”
Motsoeneng, a teacher byprofession, has promised to takeschool football to the next level.He says that he would like to seeteams from Thabo Mofutsanyanawinning provincial finals.
Provincial finals of many
football tournaments have been anightmare for Eastern Free Stateteams. Schools such as Mats-wathaka Primary, MotshepuwaPrimary and Moteka Secondary,just to mentioned a few, havefailed to win provincial finals toadvance to the national finals.
However, not all teams havefaced defeat. Ntsu Secondary andBodikela Primary know what itfeels like to be Free Statechampions.
Both schools have advanced tonational finals. Motsoeneng isdetermined to produce moreteams that will compete atnational level.
“I want to take the schoolsports to where it was in thetimes of United School SportsAssociation of South Africa(Ussasa). Our region used to bea football powerhouse. Many ofour teams have failed to win atprovincial finals and that is a bigconcern that has to be treated asa matter of urgency,” he says.
He acknowledges that he has abig mountain to climb. Mot-soeneng admits that the standardof school football has deteriorat-ed over time purely because
schools no longer play againsteach other on a weekly basis.
