■ BLOEMFONTEIN

The Hawks have raided the offices of the Free State Department of Sport, Arts, CultureandRecreationherein Bloemfontein and seized documents relating to the controversial multimillion rand tender for the Macufe Festival. Hawks spokesperson Colonel Philani Nkwalase said the raid was carried out after they received information that the tender was awarded irregularly and in contravention of Section 217 of the Constitution Other media platforms reported that the department failed in its attempt to have the Free State High Court's ruling last month that the R16 million tender was invalid, irregular and unlawful overturned The department and company C Squared, which was awarded the tender to organise the Bloemfontein festival, appealed the ruling last

month. The report cited sources who said the ruling meant that the company wouldberequiredtorepaythe money because the court had set aside the agreement to host the annual festival DS Consortium director Mosa Likobo said the company was confident that it had a solid case against the department and that they were not intimidated by its application to appeal the ruling. DC Consortium had also bid to stage the festival, but the tender was awarded to C Squared Likobo said: "The departmentshowsnoremorse for its unlawful behavior in awarding the tender to another company without following due procedure If you read the judgment, you would understand that there was no way any judge in this country would have ruled differently"

Ek het eergistermiddag hierdie reënboog afgeneem buite my huis Maar kom ek noem net vir jou dat hierdie foto op GEEN manier diegrootsheidvanhierdieoomblikkanvasvat nie Omdat ek die foto op 'n wye hoek moes neem om alles in te kry, lyk dit of die reënboog baie ver weg is, terwyl dit gevoel hetofek'nhanetreevandiepotgoudgestaan het. Dit het werklik my asem totaal weggeslaan en ek kon nie ophou kyk daarna nie My eerste gedagte was: Hoe groot is U Here, om hierdie onbeskryflike skoonheid vir diemenstewys!Ditvoelofmensopjouknieë wil neerval en met jou hande in die lug die Hereaanbid. Sommerindieheel eersteboek van die Bybel lees ons van die reënboog ná diesondvloed,waarGodbelowedatHynooit weer die hele aarde sal oorstroom met reën nie "Toe het God gesê: Dit is die teken van die verbond tussen My en julle en die wilde diere by julle, 'n verbond wat vir alle toekomstige geslagte geld: my reënboog het Ekindiewolkegeplaas.Ditsaldietekenwees vandieverbondtussenMyendieaarde." (Gen. 9:12 13) Dink nou net vir 'n oomblik aan diedagtoe dieeerste mense'n reënboog gesien het Hulle het niks geweet van wetenskap en van ligbreking deur waterdruppels nie Hoe verstom moes hulle nie wees nie! Vandag ken ons die wetenskap agter 'n reënboog, maar toe ek hierdie dubbele reënboog sien, was dit vir my veel eerder 'n teken van God se grootheid en sy almag. Die mens kan geensins 'n reënboog in die lug plaas nie, net God kan dit doen Maar saam met dit het hierdie teken my opnuut herinnerdatGodsybelofteshou,tenalletye! Enwatmeeris,sybelofteis'nbevestigingdat sy genade SO groot is, en sy liefde vir ons so groot is, dat Hy ons nie weer so sal vernietig nie. Sy genade en liefde is eenvoudig net té groot! Ekhetaansopaarpuntegedink:

*Hyis'ngenadigeGod

*Hyhousybeloftes

*Hygeenonselkedagnog'nkans

* Hy kan die mees indrukwekkende kunswerkemetsyhandeskep,sodatdiemens ditkanbewonder.

* Hy laat toe dat die mens Hom ook deur wetenskapkanleerken.

*HyisdieGodvanwonders.
