Universitas makes technological breakthrough
Robotics revolution
LIENTJIE MENTZ
The first multipurpose surgical robotic system in Southern Africa is now used at the Universitas Academic Hospital, giving surgeons the upper hand in the operating theatre
The introduction of the Versius Surgical Robotics System is a groundbreaking moment for healthcare in South Africa
This places Universitas at the forefront of medical innovation in Africa
At the launch on Tuesday, 11 March, at the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of the Free State (UFS), premier MaQueen Letsoha-Mathae said the use of the system will not only elevate the healthcare system in general but also positions the country as a key player in the development of advanced medical technologies in the region
“
The benefits of Versius are profound: patients will experience quicker recoveries and an earlier return to work, which ultimately leads to a healthier, more productive society,” she said
“Moreover, the Versius system is designed with mobility and accessibility in mind Its modular and scalable design allows it to fit seamlessly into any operating room without the need for major infrastruc-
ture changes”
Prof Hester Klopper, vice-chancellor and principal of the UFS, said the system helps specialists perform complex robotic-assisted surgeries with unprecedented accuracy
“It will revolutionise how we train the next generation of health-care professionals,” she said
“Our students and faculty will now have the unique opportunity to engage with a cutting-edge robotic system”
A medical team went to Dubai in January to attend training in the use of the system
Prof Colin Noel, a general surgeon at Universitas, performed the first surgery with the system on 24 February
From then to 6 March, nine procedures including radical prostatectomies and cholecystectomies were performed with the technology
Prof Freddie Claassen, an urologist at Universitas who has used the system in a radical prostatectomy , says the use of the robotic system holds many advantage to surgeons
Claassen explains that the system imitates a fully functional arm with a hand, and can be used for a wide variety of surgeries
“It is especially helpful when operating within the human pelvis A surgeon would often have to stand for long hours in uncomfortable positions to
perform certain operations
This system will not only save time but also add a faster recovery time for patients”
In a robotic surgery, a surgeon sits at a console in the theatre and can operate multiple arms of which one holds a high-definition camera
“Before a surgeon can complete a surgery alone with the system, a proctor specialist will have to sign off on a surgeon ’ s skill This will protect the patient, knowing that only qualified surgeons use the new system”
One of the huge advantages of the system, is that it will enable better outcomes for patients, including shorter hospital stays, fewer complications, and quicker recoveries
Surgeons will benefit from enhanced visual and tactile feedback during operations, enabling them to perform procedures more accurately and safely
With Southern Africa being a critical hub for medical advancements, the adoption of this system has the potential to inspire other hospitals across the region to follow suit This further raises the standard of care for patients and medical professionals alike
“As we move forward, we will continue to promote societal transformation by bridging the gap between academic knowledge and practical solutions,” Letsoha-Matae said
Leaders set out to make amends

With the setback the ANC experienced during the 2024 national and provincial elections, and in view of the 2026 municipal elections, Pres. Cyril Ramaphosa and an ANC Working Committee visited the Free State this past weekend
Fikile Mbalula, secretary-general of the ANC, said at a news conference held at the Windmill Casino on Monday, 10 March, that the visit to the Free State was part of a national tour aimed at restoring public confidence in the ANC
He said the renewal process was a direct response to the challenges facing the movement – which include declining public trust, inefficiencies in government, and the need to realign the ANC with the aspirations of the people Talking about the 2026 municipal elections in Mangaung, he said winning was not a given “We have to work for it,” he said
In response to the high-profile ANC visit, Roy Jankielsohn, DA leader in the Free State, said it was a result of the self-inflicted political decay that has decimated the province The ANC in the Free State requested intervention from its national
structure as one of the outcomes in an internal report Interventions that have failed include a Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) sub-committee that was responsible for addressing political education and cadre deployment
Jankielsohn said the reliance on cadre deployment as an instrument of the National Democratic Revolution (NDR), while admitting the quality of cadres has deteriorated, remained the main reason for poor financial management and service delivery
collapse in provincial government departments and municipalities
He said the continuous structural disintegration of the ANC as the governing party in the Free State had, through cadre deployment, manifested itself in all provincial, government and municipal administrations
Mbalula said a skills audit of all senior municipal managers in the Free State was being conducted to ensure that qualified and competent individuals occupy key positions “The ANC will not tolerate cadre deployment that prioritises political connections over competence Only those who can effectively deliver services will be retained or appointed” Jankielsohn said the ANC in the Free State cannot self-correct, hence the visit from Ramaphosa and the National Working Committee (NWC) “The ANC must drop cadre deployment and ideological political education and focus on building financial and administrative capacity among deployed cadres until the DA can replace them with competent individuals,” Jankielsohn said

“As die DA in bewind was in die metro, sou ons die gelde wat nou misbruik word gebruik vir dienslewering en die menslike nedersettings-afdeling herstruktureer om geld reg te spandeer
“Ons sou ook vaardige administrateurs aanstel wat effektiwiteit sou verhoog en toerekeningsvatbaar is,” het hy gesê PA-raadslid John de Bruin het in die vergadering gesê die aansuiweringsbegroting is ’ n belediging
De Bruin het spesifiek verwys na die R10 miljoen wat begroot is vir luukse voertuie vir amptenare en R50 miljoen vir veiligheidsdienste
“Ons eis ’ n begroting wat die inwoners van Mangaung dien en nie een wat ’ n nalatenskap van verval laat nie”

BUS ACCIDENT PROBE ONGOING
TEBOHO SETENA
An investigation is ongoing to determine the cause of the accident in which ten bus passengers died on the Free State’s N6 road Barbara Creecy minister of Transport said probing will reveal the cause of the fatal crash that involved a Volvo truck and the long-distance City-toCity passenger bus of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa), addressing the media on Monday, 10 March
The briefing followed her visit with Monyatso Mahlatsi, Free State MEC for Health, to assess the conditions of two persons still admitted at the Pelonomi Tertiary Hospital in Bloemfontein
Creecy’s address included the progress made with the identification
of the ten deceased victims, and their bodies claimed by family According to her, the two unidentified patients are in stable conditions, attributing this to treatment received for severe injuries sustained during the accident which occurred early in the morning on Wednesday, 5 March The two adults, who underwernt surgeries performed at the hospital’s trauma unit, are part of the 33 passengers who boarded the Prasa bus
“Based on medical reports of medical staff we remain hopeful the two patients will make a full recovery Prasa has provided extensive support to the inured passengers, families as well as those who sadly lost their loved ones Support included site visit, transport, accommodation, repatriation of the remains and trauma counselling,” said Creecy

Twee kreatiewe Bloemfonteiners wil dit vir kinders pret maak om wiskunde te leer
Morgan Pelser het ’ n onderneming begin
Tablo Math Games wat kinders die basiese maal- en deelsomme leer in die vorm van ' n bordspeletjie
Sy sê die idee van die bordspeletjie het begin toe sy haar kleinboet moes help met tafels net voor hy laerskool toe moes gaan
“Dit is vervelig om jou tafels soos ' n papagaai te leer en my ma het my gevra om dit op ' n prettige manier vir hom te leer”
Uit hierdie eenvoudige begin, het ' n onderneming ontwikkel en groei steeds
Sy verduidelik die bordspeletjie bestaan uit ' n speelbord met gekleurde kaartjies met syfers op, wat spelers gebruik om hul kennis van vermenigvuldiging te toets
“Die doel van die speletjie is om al die kaartjies op die regte plekke op die bord te pak As daar twee spelers is, pak een die rooi kaartjies en een die blou kaartjies en kyk wie het aan die einde die meeste kleur kaartjies op die bord wat korrek gepak is ' n Kind kan ook alleen teen tyd speel”
Een speler speel met die geel kaartjies en twee spelers speel met blou en rooi kaartjies
Morgan sê hulle het die speletjie aan ses skole in Heidedal beskikbaar gestel en dit werk wonderlik om kinders se wiskunde-vaardighede te verbeter
Die volgende stap was om die speletjie ook vir gesiggestremde kinders toeganklik te maak
Hier het die paralimpiese atleet, Louzanne Coetzee ’ n groot bydrae gemaak Louzanne het

die speletjie in Braille vertaal Hulle het ' n volledige bord in Braille gebou Kinders kan dus nou die Braille-bord gebruik om op dieselfde manier die speletjie te speel “Ons wil dié speletjie aan skole soos Bartimea Spesiale Skool in Thaba Nchu en ook skole soos Thiboloha Spesiale Skool in Qwaqwa beskikbaar stel om leerlinge se wiskunde-vaardighede te verbeter,” veruidelik Louzanne Rig navrae by Morgan by 066-590-0730 of stuur ’ n e-pos na morganpelser1@gmail com

Die kleuters by die Saailand-kleuterskool in Gardeniapark het lekker saamgelag en gedans toe Piet Tandemuis by die skool kom kuier het
Saam met Piet Tandemuis en die span van Solidariteit Helpende Hand, het ds Wimpie Raadt van die Evangelies Gereformeerde kerk en die studente van die Seminarie ook by Saailand kom kuier
Chantell van Wijk van Solidariteit Helpende Hand sê met dié organisasie se Kosblikkieprojek, wat behoeftige kinders se magies by skole reg oor die land heen vol hou, het hulle besef dat baie kinders nie weet hoe om mooi vir hul tande te sorg nie
Dit is hoe Piet Tandemuis gebore is en met sy boodskap oral heen reis om vir kinders te leer tande borsel en vlos
“Die kinders hier by Saailand is baie slim en weet alles van tandeborsel en selfs van vlos,” sê Chanell
“By ander skole is Piet Tandemuis se boodskap waardevol om kinders te help om ' n gesonde leefstyl te handhaaf”
In Bloemfontein het Helpende Hand hande gevat met dié kerk wat met ' n oulike poppekas vir kinders vertel dat Jesus mense se harte genees
Oupa, Bekkie, Leeu, Donkie, Reinhardt en Mnr Weet Alles het Dinsdag saam met Piet Tandemuis gehelp om kinderharte bly te maak
Ná die pret van die poppe, het elke kleuter boonop ’ n baie lekker broodjie gekry

LIENTJIE MENTZ
Works of the renowned artist Simon Venter will be on show at the Oliewenhuis Art Museum from today, 13 March, until Sunday, 4 May
Venter is a self-taught artist whose practice explores the human condition, the interconnectedness of individuals, and the evolving relationship between tradition and technological progress
Over the past nine years, he has developed a distinct visual language that merges Christian iconography with diverse art movements, past and present, creating thought-provoking works that engage with themes of identity, spirituality, and modernity
The solo exhibition, Mythologies of Time, is a compelling exploration of the intersections between history, human existence, and technology
The exhibition delves into the ways in which history and technology shape human perception, questioning the narratives we construct around progress and innovation
Through a fusion of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated imagery and meticulous hand-rendered techniques, Venter challenges the role of AI in creative production His work positions AI as a mechanical mirror, capable of mimicking but never truly capturing the depth of human artistic expression Central to his body of work is the recurring representation of permanence and change
Drawing inspiration from memento mori traditions, Venter reflects on the impermanence of life, emphasising the irreplaceable nature of embodied experience, historical continuity, and existential reflection in artistic practice
The exhibition invites viewers into a thought-provoking dialogue about tradition in an era of rapid technological advancement
By weaving together elements of mythology, art history, and digital intervention, Mythologies of Time stands as a testament to the enduring significance of human creativity in an increasingly digitised landscape
The exhibition opens at 18:00, and a walkabout event is scheduled for Friday at 11:00 Walter,oils on canvas

Die oudste woonbuurtvereniging in Bloemfontein gaan nie net van krag na krag nie, dit skep toenemend werk terwyl die netheid van die woonbuurt en veiligheid van inwoners groot voorkeursake bly
Jacques Meiring, bestuurder van die Fichardtpark-woonbuurtvereniging (FWA), sê die vereniging is uit nood gebore en het toenemend ontwikkel tot ’ n volhoubare onderneming
Die sukses van die FWA wat omgewingsbewaring betref, is duidelik uit die nasionale prys wat die vereniging verlede jaar as Petco se wenner van die beste gemeenskapsherwinningprojek in die land ontvang het
Herwinning speel al baie jare ’ n groot rol en gaan danksy die wengeld in dié kompetisie daartoe bydra dat die herwinningsfunksie selfs nog verder uitbrei
Meiring verduidelik 25 mobiele herwinningstrollies word nou spesiaal gebou wat die vodderapers (pickers) wat informele herwinning doen, sal kan gebruik
Hy sê sedert die gereelde herwinning begin het en daar selfs sewe herwinningstasies by bejaardesorgsentrums ingerig is, is mense baie meer bewus van die waarde van herwinning tuis
Die FWA reël ook op die tweede en laaste Saterdag van elke maand ‘ n herwinningspunt by die Fichardtpark-bilioteek se parkeerterrein
Een van die nuwe lyne wat nou ook hier herwin word, is huishoudelike gifstowwe wat inwoners na die herwinningsdae kan bring
Die parke en verkeerseilande in groot dele van die suide van Bloemfontein is die afgelope tyd deur die FWA se span netjies gemaak In net 11 werksdae is 39 parke se gras gesny Dit sluit die 26 parke in Fichardtpark in wat twee keer ' n maand met ’ n trekker gesny word, asook die parke in Hospitaalperk en dié van die De Fleursig-woonbuurtvereniging in Fleurdal, Uitsig en Genl de Wet
Susan van Eck en Jacques Meiring in die FWA se kontrolekamer waar al die paaie wat by Fichardtpark inkom,gemoniteer word
“Ons hou ook die groot groen gebiede van Benaderylaan se brug tot by die Hoërskool Sand du Plessis in Pasteurrylaan in Hospitaalpark en tussen Du Plooysingel en die treinspoor in Fichardtpark netjies”
Hy sê die Hospitaalpark-woonbuurtvereniging wat aan Fichardtpark grens, groei vinnig omdat inwoners die voordele sien
In Januarie was die voorkombare misdaad in Fichardtpark ook 50% minder as dieselfde tyd in 2024
“Ons kry baie goeie samewerking van die Parkweg-polisiestasie en die gemeenskapspolisiëringsforum sektor 5 Daar is ook ’ n samewerkingsooreenkoms met vyf veiligheidsmaatskappye in die stad”
Die FWA het reeds 571 radios wat inwoners en ondernemings met die kontrolekamer verbind
“Al die skole en hospitale in die woonbuurt is op die radiostelsel en daar is ook al 30 radios in Hospitaalpark,” sê Meiring
“Ons gaan ook nou begin met ' n nuwe opleidingsprogram waar vier junior gemeenskapsbestuurders opgelei kan word wat dan in die woonburt met die werklading kan help Dit is ' n droom van my om op so ’ n manier werk te skep,” vertel Jacques
• Be able to properly use an inhaler to take the study medicine
•Additional testing will be done at the site to confirm if your child qualifies to participate in this study

Deaf students’ dreams realised
TEBOHO SETENA
The Central University of Technology (CUT), Free State, continues with the commitment to make it possible for persons with disabilities to follow through with their academic pursuits
This was exemplified by the enrolment of two deaf students, Relebohile Motsoeneng and Aobakwe Tshenge
The pair’s enrolment ties with the institution’s integrated and inclusive learning environment ensuring equal opportunities for all students, including those living with disabilities
The university provides a comprehensive range of services designed to empower students with disabilities to reach their full potential, demonstrating its dedication to inclusivity
First-year students Motsoeneng and Tshenge are former learners of the Thiboloha School for the Deaf and Blind in Phuthaditjhaba, and the St Vincent School for the Deaf in Gauteng, respectively
Motsoeneng is pursuing her dream career in hospitality management
“I am very excited to start my journey here at the CUT,” she said
Motsoeneng’s journey with the university began when its recruiters visited her school in 2023
This was after struggling with university applications
“I saw an opportunity with the CUT, especially because they offered my desired programme, Hospitality Management”
The delighted student mentioned that her biggest challenge since coming to the university was the ability to make new friends due to communication barriers, but she hoped to conquer that with time
Motsoeneng’s experience highlights the unique challenges that deaf students face, particularly in social interactions, and the importance of creating an inclusive environment that addresses these challenges
Tshenge is pursuing a BEd degree in the FETphase, specialising in technology
He expressed great enthusiasm about becoming part of the institution and said he was

looking forward to creating lasting memories
“I feel excited and challenged, but I am looking forward to my journey here at the CUT,” said Tshenge
He acknowledged facing numerous barriers in pursuing higher education, including previous unsuccessful applications
“I came to the CUT hoping that they would allow me an opportunity to study, and I am grateful that I have been accepted”
Mohau Manyarela, deputy director of the university’s Disability Unit, said the unit was an important landmark for students with disabilities on campus
“We recognise the stigma attached to disability, and our goal is to facilitate access to higher education for such student Our aim is to ensure an enabling environment that empowers them to achieve their full potential by providing a range of services
“Our labs are equipped with assistive devices and technology to support their learning needs, and we have introduced sign language to accommodate deaf students”
As with the pair’s application process, the CUT’s Disability Unit continues to provide them with the necessary resources and support to ensure their success
Tshenge and Motsoeng are part of the group of 4 515 first-time students enrolled for the 2025 academic year
Law students supported in growth
TEBOHO SETENA
A collaborative work-related learning initiative between the University of the Free State’s (UFS) Faculty of Law and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in the Free State is envisaged to place graduate students on the cutting edge of the profession
The two entities officially launched the experiential learning project “In the Shadow of the Prosecutor” on Wednesday, 26 February, at the Centenary Complex at the university’s Bloemfontein campus
A formal memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed, paving the way to work together to arm law graduates with much-needed knowledge and experience
According to the two parties the programme, a first in South Africa, marks the beginning of an exciting partnership in producing future professional attorneys of high calibre Designed to enrich legal education through hands-on exposure to prosecutorial work, the programme is set to officially start on 17 March, with the first intake of students to “shadow” in prosecution in the different courts They will
observe court hearings during the term of the programme
The target is between 15 and 20 candidates, whose skills will be sharpened to become what Adv Shamila Batohi, national director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), termed “the people’s lawyers”
Those qualifying are third and final year students of the university’s Faculty of Law
While delivering a keynote address, themed “Training Through Experience – Further Illustrating the Educational Value of Shadowing,” Batohi emphasised the importance of the future legal practitioners upholding the principles of the profession
“We hope that this programme will make students marketable, as most will be graduates with the necessary work-related experience Students will learn critical prosecution skills such as how prosecution decides on matters, assesses the credibility of witnesses, determines the standard of proof, and what reasonable prospects of success are met before deciding to proceed with prosecution”
Batohi said through the programme, students would also learn how to deal with victims, families and litigation,
Goeie begin vir sportlui

Een van slegs twee Vlak 2- gekwalifiseerde gimnastiek-beoordelaars in Suid-Afrika, is ' n Bloemfonteiner wat passievol is oor dié sportsoort
Jannie van Vuuren was op skool self ' n ywerige gimnas Hy het onlangs die Vlak 2-beoordelingskwalifikasie behaal en hoop om aan die einde van die vier jaar tydperk ' n beoordelaar by die Olimpiese Spele in Los Angeles te wees
Van Vuuren wat as jong gimnas in Brasilië, Duitsland en Switserland gaan deelneem het, is al sedert 1997 ' n internasionale beoordelaar
Hy verduidelik dat die beoordeling meer gespesialiseerd geword het sodat beoordelaars deesdae elke vier jaar moet kwalifiseer
Die top-25 in die wêreld word dan geklassifiseer as Vlak 1-beoordelaars, terwyl Vlak 2-beoordelaars soos Van Vuuren ook internasionale kompetisies en kompetisies soos die Olimpiese Spele kan beoordeel
Sy ondervinding as beoordelaar wat al sedert 2012 by internasionale kompetisies beoordeel, is van groot waarde vir plaaslike gimnaste
"Wat veral baie help, is dat ek by internasionale kompetisies sien hoe topgimnaste opwarm
Dit is waardevolle insigte wat ons kan terugploeg in ons plaaslike gimnaste "
Hy was al by twee wêreldspele, vier statebondspele en drie universiteitspele

Batohi mentioned that the South African public measured and judged the South African criminal justice system on its ability to successfully prosecute and convict politicians and their cronies involved in profile corruption and fraud cases
“You must learn to prosecute without fear, favour and prejudice, in accordance with the Constitution and the law”
Prof Hester Klopper, newly appointed vice-chancellor and principal of the UFS, also spoke at the event
“The collaborative programme exemplifies our commitment to upholding and expanding justice, fairness and equity in the societies our university serves, but it also reflects the emphasis we place on work-integrated learning, and the value of collaboration and connection
“We as universities are devoted to the pursuit of knowledge, serving as incubators for innovation and new thinking But we are also vehicles for social justice This includes ensuring that every student has access to quality learning opportunities – regardless of their background or socioeconomic circumstances”
