MASEABATA THUNTSA (73), a

grandmother who did not want to

go to hospital to have her breast

operated on, finally underwent

the operation. The grandmother

who hails from the Marakong

village in Qwaqwa, said she now

felt like a young girl again and

the pain was no more.

I am happy, I am still alive. I

thought I would die, she said

with a smile.

Thuntsa recently went under

the knife at the Elizabeth Ross

Hospital in Qwaqwa.

She said she could not with-

stand the pain anymore when she

decided to go for the operation.

They had to get rid of the

breast which had been troubling

me for years now. I feel like a

school girl who has just passed

matric.

I am back doing what I like

the most which are washing

clothes, cleaning my house and

tending to my garden, she said.

Thuntsa said she would like to

thank Express Eastern Free State

(Express EFS) for exposing her

problem to the people.

If it were not for you I would

still have been in pain. You kept

on coming and encouraging me to

go to hospital and finally it

happened. I even had a chance to

meet with the late MEC for

Health, Fezi Ngubentombi,

because of Express EFS, she said.

It was painful that day and I

only had one thing on my mind:

death. My grandson requested

me to go to hospital, but I

refused.

He called my daughter-in-law

who called the ambulance for me,

but I locked myself in the other

room and refused to open up.

She said she went to the

hospital with her daughter-in- law

the second day and she had said:

God, please help and save me.

ANDRIES SITHOLE, husband of the late

Goodness Sithole who was killed in a hit-

and-run car accident on the N5 road a fort-

night ago, wants the driver who killed his

wife behind bars.

A fuming Redge Rudman, manager at Tel-

kom inBethlehem,whereGoodnessworked,

also wants justice to take its course.

A heartbroken Sithole says a case was reg-

istered at the Bethlehem Police Station, but

thus far they have heard nothing from the

police.

He says hewent to the station lastWednes-

day to find out about the latest developments

in the case, but he was told that the investi-

gating officer was on leave for two weeks.

According to Sithole, his wife was killed

at night by a speeding car which hit her on

the shoulder of the road.

We were driving together and we got a

puncture. I tried to change the tyre, but the

jack I used was weak. I called my wifes

brother, who was in Qwaqwa.

He arrived on the scene and while we

were busy, my wife insisted that she would

go home to prepare food for us.

After she had crossed the road, a car

came past and she stood against her broth-

ers car to avoid it, but the car went straight

to her and she died on the spot, he says.

Sithole says the driver of the car never

stopped to check what had happened.

Rudman saidGoodnesswas a veryhelpful

and hardworking employee. He said he was

worried about not having heard anything

from the police yet.

Sgt. MmakoMophiring, police spokesper-

son, confirmed the accident. He said the po-

lice were busy with the investigation.

We cannot let it go just like that, he

said. Mophiring said the police call on the

driver who knows that he hit someone on

the N5 to report to the Bethlehem Police Sta-

tion.

HOW do you console someone who

has lost a loved one?What do you say

to a parentwhose child has just died?

Words fail me as they would any-

one else who is a mere mortal.

Nevertheless, we stutter and mut-

ter a few words of comfort in the

hope that the bereaved family hears

us. Losing a loved one puts one in a

state of mental confusion.

The families of 13 South African

soldiers who were killed in the line

of duty in fightingwith Seleka rebels

on the outskirts of Bangui, Central

African Republic (CAR), are now in

such a state after losing their chil-

dren through death.

Corporals Mokgadi Darius

Seakamela and Ntebaleng Andrew

Mogorosi, and Lance Corporals Dan-

iel Sello Molara and Lukas Mohapi

Tsheke, were among those killed on

Sunday, 24 March 24.

The riflemen killed were Lesego

Maxwell Hertzog, Zamani Jim Mx-

hosana, Xolani Dlamini, Vusumzi

Joseph Ngaleka, Karabo EdwinMat-

sheka, Khomotso Paul Msenga,

Maleisane Samuel Thulo, Motsamai

WilliamBojane and Thabiso Anthon

Phirimana.

All of those killed were members

of One Parachute Battalion (Para-

bats) from Bloemfontein.

Here is my lame attempt at consol-

ing the parents of the deceased sol-

diers and their families: As parent,

I cannot imagine the pain you are go-

ing through. It is my wish that the

Lord takes me before he takes my

child.

But our

God, themer-

ciful God,

can some-

times come

through and

talk to us in

the strangest

of ways. He is talking to you (parents

of fallen parabats) and your families,

though for the life of me I have no

idea what He is saying. It will be-

come clearer with time.

To some of you, the pain that you

are feeling now may be exacerbated

by the fact that this might not be the

first child you have lost.

Curse God if you want, He will for-

give you because you are human.

Curse and thank Him at the same

time. He gave you wonderful gifts in

the form of children, but has taken

them away from you.

When the sad news was broken to

you, you have probably shed some

tears.

That is fine too, because some-

times there is nothing like a good cry

to make you feel better. Crying is ca-

thartic.

Jesus wept on the cross and said:

My God, why hast thou forsaken

me?

You are probably asking the same

question. But He has not forsaken

you.Hehas put you through the tests

that other mortals cannot pass.

Youhave passed these tests andwe

know you will go through this fiery

test and survive. The strain of taking

this pain may be too much to some

of you.

Again, as they say, He never gives

you a burden that you will not be

able to carry. It is daunting, hard and

energy-sapping, but only you can

carry this burden.

May you have the strength and the

iron will to do so.

Those dead soldiers (probably

some of them were parents) that you

are about to bury, came not fromyou

but through you, to quote Khalil Gi-

bran.

You were but a conduit.

This is a blessing that some people

yearn for all their lives, but theynev-

er get to experience the joy of being

parents.

If you wake up in the middle of the

night startled, so be it, let these emo-

tions go through.

Our deepest condolences to the

families and friends of the deceased.

We share in your grief, but we can-

not take away the pain.

Just know that we are with you in

thought and in prayer. May the Al-

mighty God bless you and your fami-

lies.

Parents of soldiers, you

are not forsaken

My view

Sidwell Guduka

Express Journalist

SOUTHAFRICAN soldiers ran out of ammu-

nition during a bloody battle in Bangui that

left 13 of them dead and 27 injured.

Before they did, though, the increasingly

desperate soldiers fired rocket-propelled gre-

nades on groups of rebels who stormed

them.

Many of the rebels were only children, an

SA National Defence Force (SANDF) source

close to the militarys controversial Central

African Republic (CAR) deployment told City

Press sister newspaper, Rapport.

The rebels stormed our soldiers in groups,

not at all like trained soldiers, and many of

themwereonlychildren, thesourcerevealed.

The rebels age horrified South African sol-

diers, he added.

According to him, some of themost trauma-

tisedsoldiers allmembersof 1ParachuteBat-

talion returned to their base earlier than the

rest of their companions after the fighting in

Bangui died down on that Sunday.

Another anonymous source, a soldier who

survived the battle, has revealed what hap-

penedonSaturday, 23March, and in theweeks

leading up to the firefight.

His version of events is in sharp contrast to

that offered by Defence Minister Nosiviwe

Mapisa-Nqakula,whosays themediaandmili-

tary experts have lied about what happened

during the battle.

The soldier confirmed what the defence

force source said, and their version was

backed up by foreign correspondents based in

Bangui.

The soldier said some of the rebels he saw

during the battle were very, very young.

After rebels took Bangui, news agency Reu-

ters published photos of these young soldiers,

described as Seleka fighters.

Reuters also confirmed to City Press that

there are now many rebel soldiers in Bangui

who are clearly very young.

Daniel Flynn of Reuters said: Our corre-

spondent in Bangui says there are many sol-

diers who look as if they are 14, 15 or, at most,

16 years old.

In addition, some of them are on drugs or

under the influence of alcohol.

City Press questioned the new CAR leader-

ships spokesperson, Eric Massi, by telephone

about the presence of child soldiers in theSele-

ka forces.

Massi said: This is something we are defi-

nitely opposed to, but its a difficult situation

because we are assisted by several other

groups in our fight against the Bozize regime.

Those children are therefore not necessari-

ly Seleka soldiers, he said from Paris.

According tohim, thenewCARgovernment

of self-appointed president, Michel Djotodia,

will focus on the problem of child soldiers.

We still have to determine what the situa-

tion is, but its not somethingwe support. Chil-

dren belong in school, Massi said.

TheDoctorsWithoutBordersmissionofSyl-

vain Groulx in Bangui confirmed toCity Press

that child soldiers are patrolling the streets of

the countrys capital.

Groulx said: The situation is improving

everyday, but thereare still problemswith the

supply of electricity and water.

Neither the South African Ministry of De-

fencenor theSANDFresponded torepeatedre-

quests for comment throughout the week.

The South African soldier who related the

following story asked to remain anonymous,

even requesting that details of his age and

rank be omitted to protect his identity.

He said: Ourmission assignments changed

constantly. First we were told we were only

there to train CAR soldiers, then we heard we

had to protect South African property, and fi-

nally we were ordered to protect civilians in

and around Bangui.

The soldier also said his unit was upset

about the lack of air support and that they ran

out of ammunition during the battle, and did

not receive further supplies.

Noone came tohelpus.Noone came togive

us new ammunition, he said.

He was part of a patrol unit involved in

heavy fighting about 50 km from the South Af-

rican base, from as early as Friday afternoon

(22 March), against rebel forces as well as de-

serters from the CAR forces.

Therewereverymanyof them,butwewere

only about 25 soldiers. It was very bad.

Brig Gen Xolani Mabanga, SA National De-

fenceForce spokesperson, thisweekdenied al-

legations thatCAR troops turned against their

South African allies, but the soldier says that

is exactly what happened.

I still greeted some of the guys earlier. We

knew each other . . . then, on Friday, they sud-

denly opened fire on us with RPG-7s. They

were still in CAR defence force uniforms, so

it was very confusing.

There was also a great deal of unhappiness,

the soldier said, about food and stipends.

From our deployment on 2 January to the

end of themission, we had tomake dowith rat

packs (ration packs), because there was never

a kitchen set up, he said.

It was terrible, because you cant live for

so long on that stuff.

No proper kitchen had been set up despite

numerous promises, he claimed.

Thesoldiers,whowere first deployed inJan-

uary,werealsoall veryupset, because theydid

not receive the payment that was promised to

them, he said.

) This is the minister of defences version of

events, outlinedonThursdayduringaceremo-

ny at Pretorias Waterkloof Airforce Base.

Mapisa-Nqakula told the dead soldiers dis-

traught relatives, who were there to formally

receive the soldiers bodies, that the men had

beenonagoodwillmissionandhaddied like

heroes.

Speaking mostly in isiXhosa, she said: We

must never allow our enemy to divide us on

our purpose of deploying our children to other

countries. This was not the first deployment,

and it will not be the last one. We will also de-

ploy other children to another country. What

is important now is how we honour our chil-

dren.

Shestuck to theofficial governmentandmil-

itary line, saying the soldiers were only in the

CAR to train that countrys military.

South Africa and its government had no

other interests in the CAR except the agree-

ment to train soldiers from the CAR.

I am raising this because, now, the issue is:

What business interests were they protecting

in the CAR?

Mothers and fathers, I am the one who

signed off on that operation.

The minister also vehemently denied that

there had been a clash of interests between the

military and President Jacob Zuma about the

deployment.

She said there was no truth to reports that

some soldierswanted to return home, even be-

fore the battle.

They fought without retreating. Those

were not cowards. Your children are not cow-

ards and thats something that should make

you very proud.

She said that one day the storywould be told

of how many rebels the unofficial estimate

ismore than600 diedduring thebattle,which

lasted for about 13 hours.

Your children, at least from the pictures

Ive seen,were very young boys, but theywere

lionsand theyareheroesofourcountry.Those

were your children, but, also, they had sworn

that, as soldiers, we will serve with pride,

saidMapisa-Nqakula, flanked by DeputyMin-

ister Thabang Makwetla and senior defence

chiefs.

She repeatedly lauded the fallen soldiers as

heroes and not cowards who died with

wounds in their backs.

In the black community, we grew up with

the adage that says a mans wound should not

be on his back.

Pointing to her forehead, she said: Amans

wound should be here. We do not hear that

yourchildrendiedwithwoundson theirbacks

because they were running away. Im trying

to say, painful as it is, I want you to always re-

main with proudmemories of your children.

She also urged families not to stop their chil-

dren from enlisting in themilitary, saying the

country had to be defended.

Mapisa-Nqakula talkedabouthervisit to the

defence forces training base in the CAR on 13

January, a few weeks after fresh troops had

been deployed there.

The soldiers whom she fondly referred to

as my children were happy to be deployed

to the CAR and to have an opportunity to use

the skills they learned during training, she

said. City Press

business and in central South Africa. With

over R50 000 in prizes, a R10 000 prize for a

for the best wet hole, it is not surprising that

the day had already sold out two weeks be-

fore the event.

CRICKET SOUTH AFRICA (CSA) on

Tuesday paid tribute toWerner Faul,

a pioneering figure ofwomens crick-

et in South Africa, who passed away

onMonday after a protracted illness.

Although he had been in poor

health for a considerable period of

time, his passing has come as a shock

to the cricket fraternity, comment-

ed Max Jordaan, CSA senior cricket

manager.

Werner was a pioneer in the pro-

motion and integration of women

cricketers within CSA. During his

leadership womens cricket was an

independent entity still under the

banner of the South African Wom-

ens Cricket Association (SAWCA).

At that time the contribution from

theUnitedCricket Board of SouthAf-

rica (UCBSA) towomens cricketwas

no more than a grant of R50 000.

Despite this nominal amount he

navigated the South African wom-

ens team into a formidable unit. Un-

der his leadership, this squadpartici-

pated in the 2000 International Wom-

ens Cricket Council (IWCC) World

Cup Tournament in New Zealand.

The South African team reached the

semi-finals, their highest ranking in

Womens World Cricket to date.

He engineered the integration

process, ensuring that womens

cricket became formally accepted as

an associate member of CSA. Today

the national womens team is spon-

sored by Momentum.

CSA acknowledges his contribu-

tion and extends its heartfelt condo-

lences to his family during this peri-

od of bereavement, Jordaan said.

SPORT

THE richest high school football tournament

in Africa, the Sanlam Kay Motsepe Schools

Cup, is about to get under way.

The deadline to enter the competition was

lastweekand theSouthAfricanSchoolsFoot-

ball Association (Sasfa) is counting the last

entries.

Over 2 500 schools are expected to compete

for a slice of the R4,3 million in prize money.

The winning school will receive R1 mil-

lion, second place R600 000, third place

R500 000 and fourth place R400 000.

In addition, the nine provincial winners

each collect R100 000. However, no cash is

paid to the winning schools, but the schools

identify their needs and these projects are

funded.

The Eletsa High School from the North

West is a good example of how schools can

benefit from their prize money. The school

won R500 000 in 2010 and spent the money on

drilling a bore hole giving the school water,

restoring electricity, upgrading classrooms,

they purchased computers and erected pe-

rimeter fencing to keep the learner safe.

Other schools have bought buses, built

sports fields and sports combos, purchased

school equipment and sports kit, just to name

a few.

Nelspruits EastHighCollege of Excellence

will be in action at this years tournament.

The school won R600 000 for finishing as run-

ners-up in the 2012 national finals, losing to

the Transnet Safa School of Excellence in the

final inBloemfontein last year, andwona fur-

ther R100 000 for finishing as the top school

in Mpumalanga. The school has chosen to

spend their winnings on finishing a block of

extra classrooms they started two years ago.

Abel Nkuna, manager of the team, ex-

plained that the school was a football acade-

my based inMpumalanga. This is their third

year in the tournament.

He says the team started training in Janu-

aryand theplayers arenowstarting tounder-

stand each other.

Most of last years players were inmatric,

so its a completely new squad, he said.

We are looking forward to defending our

provincial title and I am certain that we will

make it to the national finals, although its

not going to be easy.

The team is not as strong as last years, but

the coach and his technical teamareworking

hard with them.

I am only worried about two opponents.

Lowveld High School is in the same circuit

as us, and whoever wins between us will rep-

resent the region at the provincial finals. If

we do get to the provincials thenwewill prob-

ably come up against School of Excellence

again. If we do, we will be ready.

The challenge about being based in Nels-

pruit, according to Nkuna, is that there are

not many schools to play friendly matches

against.

Most of the schools around us play more

rugby and cricket than football. The only

time we get to play serious friendly matches

is against second division teams and those

teams have tight schedules.

No East College boys have gone through to

play in the Premier League yet, but eight of

last years teamwill be going for trials at Blo-

emfontein Celtic in June.

IT is not always that a coach will

be proud of his team despite a loss,

but Clinton Larsen, Bloemfontein

Celtics coach, was happy with his

teams performance against Kaizer

Chiefs on Sunday.

The Free State giants went down

3-0 to Chiefs in their league match

played at a packed Free State

Stadium in Bloemfontein.

Im very happy with the way the

guys performed today, but not with

the result. Its not every day that

we get a 3-0 thumping at home. But

I must say, in my opinion, the

score-line was a bit flattering. We

cant wait to meet them again in

two weeks time, Larsen told

reporters after the match.

There are a lot of positives we

took out of this game. I feel that my

players executed the game plan

exceptionally well. We gave them

problems with the space behind

their fullbacks. Our plan was to

neutralise their midfield which we

did very well, he said.

Larsen praised Itumeleng Khune,

Chiefs keeper, for a great perform-

ance he on the day.

Credit must go to Khune. He was

exceptional in goal today. I think he

made two or three world-class

saves. With the quality keeper like

that he always keeps you in the

game and thats exactly what he

did. He tipped Lakays free kick out

of the top corner and he dealt well

with one or two shots from the

box,

On the other hand Stuart Baxter,

Chiefs coach, warned his players to

not be complacent after Sundays

win. Amakhosi now have one hand

on the Absa Premiership trophy

after opening a seven-point gap

between themselves and second-

placed Orlando Pirates.

There is still a long, long way to

go and its definitely a challenge,

he said.

Players should keep their eyes

fixed firmly on the pathway and not

the final destination. Ill be doing

whatever I can to keep their feet on

the ground. Theyve done a good job

so far this year but in certain

games we have let things get ahead

of us and it is a problem.

KHOTHATSO MOKONE is not a

household name likeOscar Pistorius.

But his impressive haul of medals,

trophies and certificates prove that

he is no slouchwhen it comes to track

and road running.

Mokone (24), a local freelance jour-

nalist and a drama student at theUni-

versity of Free State (UOFS), is well

known in the Free State for his ex-

ploits in athletics, middle-distance

and half marathon races over the

years.

I have spent a large part of my life

running; since my high school days.

People always say that I have dedicat-

ed my whole life to running, he told

Express. It was not so pleasant when

I started out because my high school

teacher chose races for me. I had to

run short distances, but I didnt see

my potential in such races. I enjoy

track and middle distance running,

said a born-again runner, who is a

member of Christian Revival Church

(CRC) in Bloemfontein.

Mokones passion for running

might not have propelled him to great

heights at national level, but he has

made his mark in the Free State. In

fact, his bedroom seems to be burst-

ing with medals, trophies and certifi-

cates he has earned over the years.

At least I have the medals and tro-

phies to show for what looks like a

lifetime of running. I train very hard

and distinguish myself at runs. My

objective is to be the best recognised

athlete in the country.

In 2007, Mokone competed in the

Free State Schools Championships

and came out third in the 1 500 m. He

also did an 8 km run in cross-country

for juniors where he got selected to

compete at the South African Cham-

pionships in Mpumalanga.

I didwell there andwas selected to

represent South Africa in the South-

ernRegionCrossCountryChampion-

ships in Zambia. Before the main

championships I participated in the

Ethiopian Championships as we pre-

pared for the event in Ethiopia in

2008. I was doing grade 12 at the mo-

ment. After passing my matric, I

didnt havemoney to furthermystud-

ies. I spent the whole of 2009 kicking

myheels at homewhile allmy friends

were in schools and universities. My

involvement in athletics suffered as a

result. In 2010 I got a sports bursary

from UOFS and began to get my run-

ning on track. I enjoy working with

my coach,DBPrinsloo.Hehas helped

me to improve all aspects ofmy game.

He is like a father figure to me.

Mokone, from Phelindaba in

Bloemfontein, has been theFreeState

champion for 3000 m steeplechase

since 2010.

Im going to participate in the

South African Championships (stee-

plechase) in Cape Town next week.

From there I will be competing in the

South African Student Champion-

ships in Durban a week later.

CELTIC COACH CLIN-

TON LARSEN is ada-

mant that Limbikani

Mzava has done enough

this season to walk away

with the Young Player of

the Season Award.

The Malawian-born de-

fender, who is touted as a

future star back home,

spent the 2011-12 season

only training with the

team as he was not regis-

tered.

This season, however,

the 19-year-old has

grabbed the opportunity

after making the cut and

Larsen has nothing but

praise for Mzava.

If anybody can show

me another 19- or 20-year-

old that is playing as con-

sistently as Mzava then I

would like to know who

he is, Larsen says.

Last yearRonwenWil-

liams (of SuperSport

United) won it, and right-

ly so.

This season, I cant see

any young player who is

playing as consistently as

Mzava both at interna-

tional and club level. So I

think he would deserve

it, he adds.

Of the 21 league games

played by Celtic this sea-

son,Mzava has started 14.

He also started all four

matches as Phunya Sele

Sele won the Telkom

Knockout. Kickoff.com
