Ja of nee vir begroting die keuse tussen behoud of verval van erfenisskat
Raadsaal,ofnetraadop?
LIENTJIE MENTZ
Die Vierde Raadsaal, die setel van die provinsiale regering, het dringende instandhoudingswerk nodig om dié geskiedkundige gebou te herstel
Werner Pretorius, woordvoerder vir die DA oor sport, kuns, kultuur en ontspanning in die Vrystaatse wetgewer, sê dié ikoniese gebou waarin die Vrystaatse regering vergader, se verval is by die dag meer sigbaar
In antwoord op vrae wat Pretorius aan die LUR vir openbare werke, Dibolelo Mance, gevra het, is onderhoudwerk van sowat R33 miljoen nodig vir opknappings
Sy sê in die 2024-’25-boekjaar is daar geen spesifieke begroting vir algemene opknappings nie, hoewel R5 miljoen toegewys is om die brandstelsel op te knap
“Die suksesvolle instelling van die brandstelsel is afhanklik van sekere onderhoudswerk wat eers vooraf onderneem moet word,” het sy bygevoeg Pretorius sê benewens die swak instandhouding, verwaarlosing en afwesigheid van dringende opknapping aan die gebou, is die sigbare verval van die dak, mure en algehele struktuur skokkend
“Daar is skade weens water en vog, lekkende geute, gebreekte houtrame; en talle vertrekke in die gebou is onbruikbaar”
Mance sê in antwoord op Pretorius se vrae dat verlede jaar se begroting R2 miljoen ingesluit het, maar dat dit te min was om herstelwerk te doen en dit toegewys is vir tegniese evaluasie vir professionele diensverskaffers wat in Desember 2024 ingehandig is
Sy bevestig dat twee vertrekke en ’ n pakkamer in die Vierde Raadsaal nou ontoeganklik is en dat ’ n formele ondersoek nog gedoen moet word om die spesifieke oorsake daarvan te bepaal
Verder sê sy geute en waterafleipype is skeef en sommige is geroes en het gate in Dit veroorsaak dat reënwater deursyfer
wat waterskade aan dele van die gebou veroorsaak
Skade aan die hoofsaal se plafon, die verbrokkeling van pilare voor die raadsaal en roes aan die hoofhek maak die verval baie duidelik sigbaar
Mace sê daar is wel al verbeterings aan die badkamergeriewe gedoen en ’ n nuwe staalhek is aangebring om veiligheid by die hoofingang van die badkamers te verseker
Pretorius wys daarop dat die kragopwekkingstelsel wat tydens kragonderbrekings gebruik moet word, ook nog buite werking is
Hy sê die Vierde Raadsaal is nie net die setel van die wetgewer nie, maar ook ’ n geskiedkundige gebou met baie kulturele en geskiedkundige waarde
“Die verval van die gebou wys nie net op administratiewe agteruitgang nie, maar ook ’ n wyer verontagsaming van die behoud van ons erfenis en waardigheid van ons demokratiese instellings,” meen
Pretorius
Hy sê as dringende stappe nie geneem word nie, kan die skade wat aangerig word onomkeerbaar wees, en ’ n belangrike deel van die Vrystaatse argitektoniese en politieke erfenis sal só vernietig wees
“Die DA eis finansiering om dringende restorasie te onderneem om die verval te keer
“Inwoners verdien ’ n wetgewer wat die trots van ’ n funksionerende demokrasie verteenwoordig”

Oudredakteur praat in Bfn
LIENTJIE MENTZ
Hy het lank gewik en geweeg of hy die boek moet skryf, en hy het einde verlede jaar daarteen besluit
Só gesels Barnard Beukman, voormalige redakteur van die dagblad Beeld, wat verlede jaar as gedrukte koerant gestaak is, oor sy boek Die (vreemde) einde van ' n koerant wat pas deur Naledi uitgegee is “Aan die begin van vanjaar het die debat van nuuts af opgevlam, veral in ’ n tema van die ATKVskoledebat, en ek het besluit dat ek my ervaring
moet neerpen Die sluiting van die Afrikaanse dagblaaie het soos suurdeeg deur die gemeenskap versprei”
Beukman sê sy navorsing was reeds gedoen, en in April het hy die boek geskryf
“Ek wou hierdie stuk eietydse geskiedenis neerpen Die sluiting van die gedrukte koerante Beeld en die Rapport, die Sondagkoerant, deur Media24 is op so ’ n slordige en disrespekvolle manier teenoor die lesers en personeel gedoen,” sê hy
Die hele drama het op Donderdag 13 Junie 2024 begin, met nuus wat op die sake-webwerf Moneyweb gebreek is dat Media24 die dagblad Beeld, asook die titels Rapport, Daily Sun en City Press, sou sluit
“Van daardie oomblik het alles soos in ’ n rolprent
afgespeel,” sê Beukman Hy weef die verhaal van hoe die personeel wat geraak is dié nuus van ’ n buite-bron moes hoor en hoe die berig die maatskappybase “ van balans af geruk” het
Beukman gesels op Saterdag 4 Oktober om 10:00 in die Nasionale Afrikaanse Letterkundige Museum en Navorsingsentrum (Naln) oor Die (vreemde) einde van ' n koerant Elsabe de Jager sal die gesprek lei
Mense kan hier hoor wat in die gange en raadsale van Beeld afgespeel het; ook wat nie in die boek staan nie

Institution steps into global arena
TEBOHO SETENA
The Central University of Technology (CUT), Free State, has expanded its reach through its first fully online academic programmes
This milestone of technology-enabled learning was launched at the Bloemfontein campus on Friday, 26 September.
Prof Pamela Dube, vice-chancellor and principal, stated that the programme responded to the evolving needs of students, industry demands, and the growing importance of flexible, future-ready education She said the institute was enabling global access to education
The initial suite of online programmes includes the advanced diploma in Human Resources Management and Health Management, and the postgraduate diploma in Information Technology (IT)
“The launch signals the university’s unwavering commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our society, while removing barriers to education
to these challenges”
Prof David Ngidi, deputy vice-chancellor for teaching and learning, confirmed the first cohort of students began studying on 1 September
“In terms of gender, the majority (63%) are female students, and 69% of registered students are based in Gauteng Interestingly, we have already received applications to be included in the second cohort, which is starting next month,” said Ngidi
Dube said the launch also marked the fruition of a strategic and collaborative partnership with Higher Education Partners Africa (Hepa), an organisation with deep expertise in online programme management
development, digital marketing, student recruitment, and engagement and seamless student support from onboarding to graduation
The institute had its fair share of difficulties during the Covid-19 pandemic, which affected several students due to lockdown To mitigate learning challenges, the university established the multimodal teaching and online learning programme and the Centre for Global Engagement (CGE) to continuously communicate with students locally and abroad
During the lockdown, the institute provided devices and data to 2 294 students outside the national borders to enable them to continue with their studies
through reaching students in their homes, workplaces, and communities,” said Dube
“We know that not all students are able to attend campus-based programmes Many are working
professionals, caregivers, or based in rural or remote areas where access to traditional higher education remains a challenge Through technology-enabled learning, we are removing such obstacles – CUT Online is our answer

Maths skills tested nationally
Both junior and senior level learners from the Free State and Northern Cape were selected to join the team that participated in the South African Mathematics Team Competition (SAMTC) on 13 and 14 September
The olympiad, sponsored by the Actuarial Society of South African (Assa), is held annually The learners participated in Bloemfontein, competing online against teams from all over South Africa
After 22 hours of intensive mathematics training over three weekends, learners from Gr 6 to Gr 12 from the Free State and the Northern Cape held their own amongst teams hailing from the rest of South Africa
The SAMTC consisted firstly of an individual competition in which each of the team members answered a question paper on their own, followed by a team competition tasking the team of ten members to answer ten questions together, consulting each other to compile the final answers that they submit as a team
The team members were trained for participation in the competitions by Hermina Oosthuizen and Marthinus Schoombie for the junior teams, and by Jon Smit for the senior team
They also wrote tests before and during the actual competition, which determined their positions in the teams
The Junior 1 team, consisting of learners in Gr 7, Gr 8 and Gr 9, finished in ninth place in its division out of 80 teams, with the Junior 2 team placing 26th
The senior team, consisting of learners in Gr 10, Gr 11 and Gr 12, came sixth in the senior division out of 70 teams This is an improvement from the previous year, when the team finished ninth
According to Dr Elsie Schoombie all of these learners, along with their parents and schools, can feel proud of themselves
“Their participation in these teams is on a par with obtaining provincial colours in sport – in addition to the benefit of being a lifelong skill” Learners who are interested in being trained for participating in a Mathematics olympiad, can contact Schoombie through WhatsApp on 082 926 6674
The Living Maths Olympiad will be conducted in the fourth quarter – a fun and highly accessible introduction to taking part in Mathematics olympiads from Gr R up to Gr 9
She described these programmes as a true reflection of the university’s responsiveness to market needs and the demand for flexible learning and upskilling in a fast-changing world of work
Sarietjie Musgrave of Hepa said through this partnership, Hepa supported the CUT through instructional design and online pedagogy, faculty training and professional
This group of students were returned to their respective countries as part of the global lockdown regulation
The overall student population for the CUT is approximately 21 000 for both campuses in Bloemfontein and Welkom
For this year, the university reported that it received more than 200 000 applications from first-time students

Dit was ’n naelbyt-netbal-eindstryd, maar in die laaste vyf minute was dit duidelik dat die span van die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) vanjaar se Varsitybeker-kroon met mag en mening wou hê
Ná Kovsies se oorwinning oor Universiteit Stellenbosch (Maties) in
verlede week se halfeindstryd in die Callie Human-sentrum in Bloemfontein, het dit op Maandag 29 September aanvanklik gelyk of Kovsies baie gemaklik speel
Die Arende van die NWU het egter in die meisies van die Universiteit van die Vrystaat (UV) se nek geblaas met die telling ná die eerste kwart op 13 –12 vir Kovsies
Ook die telling teen halftyd was baie na aan gelykop, met Kovsies wat

After winning the International Cricket Council (ICC) World Test Championship (WTC) 2025, the national men ’ s team has basked in the glory of success alongside passionate South African fans
The celebration came three months after the team’s captain, Temba Bavuma, and his Proteas claimed the coveted trophy at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in the United Kingdom (UK)
The Proteas conquered the test arena after beating Australia by five wickets to win their maiden title
To celebrate, the team embarked on the Menace Tour, parading the prestigious trophy at six venues in five of South Africa’s provinces
The team and management
received a resounding welcome at
the Tsoseletso Secondary School in Bloemfontein on 23 September
Delighted learners of the school formed a guard of honour to salute their heroes
Spanning over four days, the celebratory tour ended in Cape Town on Friday, 26 September
The tour saw fans, young and old, line the streets to salute South Africa’s cricketing heroes
Team members participated in mini clinics for budding cricketers and signed autographs for passionate supporters
The Proteas kicked off the tour in Kimberley, in the Northern Cape, and proceeded to Bloemfontein
On the same day they headed for Durban in KwaZulu-Natal, en route to Gqeberha and East London in the Eastern Cape, with the tour ending in the Western Cape
net-net met 26 – 24 voorgeloop het
Teen die derde kwart het die gaping ’ n bietjie gerek, met Kovsies wat met 39 – 34 op die telbord gaan asem skep het
In die heel laaste kwart het die Arende eers gelyk gemaak en daarna die Kovsies gestoomroller om die Varsitybeker die eerste keer in nege jaar omhoog te hou met ’ n eindtelling van 57 – 49 vir NWU
Die netbalspan van die NWU het
baie om te vier
Die mees onlangse keer dat die twee spanne mekaar in ’ n eindstryd ontmoet het, was in 2013 – toe Kovsies met vier doele gewen het
Die NWU het die titel in 2015 en 2016 gewen, terwyl Kovsies in 2013, 2014, 2018, 2021 en 2024 die wenspan was Vir die span van die NWU sal die oorwinning besonder soet wees, veral nadat Kovsies die Arende in ’ n uit-
speelwedstryd van die Varsitybeker op 8 September met 83 – 59 geklop het ■ Die UV se manssokkerspan speel op Donderdag 2 Oktober in die eindstryd van die Varsitybeker-sokkertoernooi teen die span van die Tswane University of Technology (TUT) op Shimlapark, so die Kovsies het nog ’ n kans om met ’ n Varsitybeker vir 2025 te spog
