verantwoording geroep
atikhoës dievingers
Nóg die Vrystaatse premier, Maqueen Letshoa-Mathae, nóg die LUR vir samewerkende regering, Saki Mokoena, kon ’n geloofwaardige herstelplan bied om die vervalle munisipaliteite in die Vrystaat te red
Só het VF Plus se woordvoerder Armand Cloete gesê na afloop van verlede week se oorsigbesoek deur die nasionale en provinsiale portefeulekomitees vir samewerkende regering en tradisionele sake (Cogta) Tydens die verrigtinge het
verteenwoordigers van 23 Vrystaatse munisipaliteite wat onderpresteer, oor twee dae voor die nasionale oorsigkomitee verskyn Hulle is gekonfronteer oor die regering gewortel in ’ n gebrek aan verantwoordbaarheid en die sistemiese korrupsie en administratiewe agterlosigheid Dr Zweli Mkhize, voorsitter van die nasionale Cogta-portefeuljekomitee, sê dieselfde probleme kom wydverspreid voor Dit sluit in swak beheer oor verkryging, die verval van die geldelike stelsels, swak hulpbronbestuur en die agteruitgang van dienslewering Hy sê die sigbare simptome van die wanfunksionele munisipaliteite sluit in slaggate, vullis wat nie verwyder word nie en riviere wat besoedel word Cloete sê die munisipale ouditverslae vir die 2023-’24- finansiële jaar dui op ’ n gebrek aan verantwoordbaarheid, asook wanbestuur “Ander bevindings sluit in dat ondersoeke na finansiële ongerymdhede óf glad nie gedoen word nie óf jare lank sloer sonder afhandeling Daar word selde, indien ooit, teen skuldige amptenare opgetree en munisipaliteite gaan bloot voort om openbare geld te wanbestee of te plunder,” sê hy “Daar is talle munisipaliteite wat jaar na jaar onbefondsde begrotings goedkeur ten spyte van waarskuwings dat dit op ’ n onrealistiese invorderingskoers gegrond is Munisipaliteite se gesamentlike agterstallige skuld aan derdepartye soos pensioenfondse, die inkomstediens en die ouditeur-generaal (OG), beloop meer as R830 miljoen
“Skuld aan die Vaal Sentraal-waterraad beloop meer as R10 miljard met geen duidelike plan om dit te vereffen nie”
sipaliteite in die Vrystaat wat swak presteer, te weerhou Die munisipaliteite wat hierdeur geraak kan word is Letsemeng, Kopanong, Mohokare, Masilonyana, Matjhabeng, Nketoana, Maluti-a-Phofung, Phumelela, Ngwathe en Mafube
Mkhize het gesê met die oorsigbesoek is ’ n keerpunt bereik
“Van hier af gaan ons werk oor alle vlakke van regering om die regering te herstel sodat die publiek die dienste kry wat hulle verdien” Munisipaliteite sal voortaan kwartaalliks verslag moet doen van hul vordering om die OG se voorstelle toe te pas Die verslae sal deur die provinsie gemoniteer en aan die parlement voorgelê word
Mkhize sê oor ses maande gaan ’ n soortgelyke oorsigbesoek plaasvind om die munisipaliteite se vordering te monitor
“Ons wil vordering sien teen die tyd dat die OG weer sy voorleggings moet maak”
Munisipaliteite in die Vrystaat presteer die swakste in Suid-Afrika, met 16 munisipaliteite wat begrotings het wat nie befonds is nie wat tot meer as R4,2 miljard se ongemagtigde uitgawes bedra
Na aanleiding van die komiteebesoek het Letsoha-Mathae Mkhize beloof om die verrotting uit te roei

In ’ n verklaring kort voor die oorsig het die DA se woordvoerder oor Cogta in die Vrystaatse wetgewer, David Mc Kay, gesê die DA verwelkom die nasionale tesourie se plan om nasionale toelae van tien muni-
“Daar sal van burgemeesters, munisipale bestuurders, speakers en die hele leierskap van munisipaliteite verwag word om aan die uitvoerende raad rekenskap te gee Mense ontvang salarisse met niks om daarvoor te wys nie, en daar kan nie van ons verwag word om stil te bly nie Sommige mense wat ons munisipaliteite gelei het, was arrogant en hulle is nie tot verantwoording geroep is nie hulle het min agting vir ons gemeenskappe gehad Hul arrogansie het geen perke geken nie en gevolglik het dienste tot stilstand gekom en die lewensgehalte van inwoners het gedaal,” het Letsoha-Mathae gesê

Lewe in VS korter
Die Vrystaat het die laagste lewensverwagting van enige provinsie in Suid-Afrika
Dit veroorsaak dat die bevolking van die Vrystaat afneem Suid-Afrika se middeljaarbevolking word volgens die jongste syfers op 63,1 miljoen geraam
Dr Roy Jankielsohn, DA-leier in die Vrystaat, sê dit is ’ n aanduiding van die dalende sosio-ekonomiese omstandighede van Vrystaters en vinnig dalende dienste wat deur die ANC-regering in dié provinsie gelewer word Die jongste bevindings van Statistieke Suid-Afrika (Stat SA) se bevolkingsskattings vir 2025, wat deur die statistikus-generaal, Risenga Maluleke, vrygestel is, dui daarop dat die lewensverwagting vir die gemiddelde man in die Vrystaat 57,3 jaar en 64,2 jaar vir vroue is Dit is heelwat laer as die 69,6 jaar vir vroue en 64 vir mans in Suid-Afrika
Die Wes-Kaap het die hoogste
lewensverwagting van 72,2 jaar vir vroue en 67,2 jaar vir mans
Jankielsohn sê die skrille kontras is ’ n direkte gevolg van die ANC-bestuurde regering in die Vrystaat, wat nie daarin kan slaag om basiese dienste te lewer nie
“Die regering skiet ook tekort wat betref openbare gesondheidsorg en om toestande te skep waarin inwoners lang, waardige lewens kan lei nie
“Die ANC se korrupsie, wanbestuur en kaderontplooiing het gelei tot ’ n humanitêre krisis waar verminderde lewensverwagting en voortydige dood tragies genormaliseer is
“Die dalende maatskaplike en ekonomiese omstandighede en lae lewensverwagting wat inwoners van die Vrystaat ervaar, is die gevolg van wanadministrasie, korrupsie en kaderontplooiing wat mense doodmaak,” sê hy Volgens Jankielsohn is dit weens die volgende faktore:
■ Die ineenstorting van provinsiale gesondheidsorgdienste
■ Munisipale disfunksionaliteit wat gelei het tot rampspoedige rioolbesoedeling in waterbronne, ongesonde omgewings en ’ n gebrek aan veilige en betroubare watervoorsiening in huise
■ Die ineenstorting van infrastruktuur en swak basiese dienste op provinsiale en munisipale vlak wat die ekonomie plaaslik vernietig en beleggings in die provinsie verwurg en wat lei tot werkloosheid
■ Die toename in ongesonde informele nedersettings weens die korrupte plundering van fondse wat bedoel is vir veilige behuising en skoon woonbuurte
■ Die 62% van inwoners in die provinsie wat vasgevang is in armoede en nie toegang het tot voedsame kos, klere of skuiling nie Jankielsohn sê die hoër lewensverwagting in die WesKaap, in teenstelling met ander provinsies, is ’ n aanduiding van ’ n DA-regering wat basiese dienste en gesondheidsorg van inwoners prioritiseer deur ’ n doeltreffende en doeltreffende staatsdiens

Koue aangedurf vir sorgsentrums
LIENTJIE MENTZ
'n Groep van 61 leerlinge het vanjaar deelgeneem aan die Yseendswem, 'n geleentheid wat al sedert 2021 ten bate van tienermeisies van Engo se jeugsorgsentrums aangebied word.
Die water het behoorlik gespat toe leerlinge van die
Hoër Meisieskool Oranje hul swemklere aangetrek en 25 lengtes ten bate van meisies van Bloemfonteinse jeugsorgsentrums geswem het
In stede van ' n nommer op die skouer, het die meisies wat deelgeneem het elk ' n naam van ' n meisie op haar skouer geskryf gehad - elke leerling kon vanjaar die naam van ' n tienermeisie van een van Engo se jeugsorgsentrums trek en so vir ' n spesifieke meisie swem
Die leerlinge het ook vir die meisies elk ' n geskenkie gegee
Elke swemmer moes borge kry om R2 500 in te samel vir die projek Een leerling het R50 000 ingesamel ' n Spesiale saalperiode word later in Augustus gehou waarin die geld wat ingesamel is, aan Engo oordandig gaan word
Ruan Bruwer, bemarker van Oranje, sê op dié manier is die hele swemmery baie meer persoonlik
Hy sê die projek het tydens Covid begin danksy Lize-Marie Davidson (swemkaptein
van 2021) Hy het haar tydens die Yseendswem Woensdag bedank vir haar aandeel in die lekker tradisie
Die tieners van Engo se jeugsorgsentrums wat met die projek ondersteun word, het die geleentheid bygewoon en die meisies in die swembad aangemoedig met plakkate
Selfs Engo se uitvoerende hoof, De Wet Claassens en Coenie Taljaard, Engo se direkteur van finansiële dienste, het hul swembroeke aangetrek en die water van 11 grade celsius aangedurf
Leerlinge van Oranje sê dit was baie spesiaal om aan die
swem deel te neem Een het gesê dit was die wonderlikste ervaring om te sien hoe groot verskil sy in ‘ n ander kind se lewe kan maak "Die omgee en liefde wat ek tydens die swem beleef het, was verstommend " ' n Ander leerling het gesê: "Die water was baie koud aan die begin, maar later het ek besef dat dit nie nou gaan oor die koue en oor myself nie, maar oor die kinders van Engo Ek het vasgehou aan die woorde van Spreuke 3:27 en ek het dit gesien as my kans om te leef soos Jesus leef en om iets vir iemand te beteken "
Ander leerlinge van Oranje kan nog tot 4 Augustus aan die projek deelneem deur tydens hul periode van lewensoriëntering in skooltyd te swem
Elke leerling betaal R50 om een lengte te swem en so word nog geld vir Engo ingesamel
Enigeen kan ' n bydrae tot Engo se werksaamhede lewer deur Engo se Projek van Hoop te ondersteun
Besoek een van Engo se kantore, of besoek die webwerf engo co za, en doen ' n skenking van R50 om die kans te staan om ' n Renault Kwid Climber van R220 000 te wen
Die kans vir deelname eindig op 30 September, en die wenner word op 31 Oktober in ' n gelukstrekking bepaal

Veggroep Zulu het in 1975 aan die voorpunt van die Suid-Afrikaanse magte in die Grensoorlog geveg en het maande lank in die veld geleef
Teen Januarie 1976 was die groep reeds ses maande in die oorlog 1 000km oor die grens tussen die destydse Suidwes-Af-
rika, nou Namibië, en Angola; net 150km van die hoofstad Luanda toe die Suid-Afrikaanse magte onttrek is Viljoen sê hy hoop om soveel as moontlik van dié oudsoldate in September op die reünie te sien

Skatte afgepoets vir winkels
LIENTJIE MENTZ
Sedert die Hospice-winkel in 2022 op die terrein van die Oorlogsmuseum van die Boererepublieke gevestig is, het dit goed uitgebrei
Buiten die liefdadigheidswinkel, waar ’ n groot verskeidenheid gebruikte klere en breekware spotgoedkoop verkoop word, is daar nou soveel meer
Hier, by Santa Fé, is daar ook ’ n koffiewinkel met heerlike gebak
“Dit is lekker as mense hier kom koffie drink en kuier Ons reël ook eetgoed vir vergaderings en gesellighede,” sê Lorica Coetsee
“Dit is die perfekte plek vir uitstappies vir gesinne met kinders”
Benewens dié winkel, is daar nog twee ander aan die agterkant van die museum
Die eerste is ’ n boekwinkel, met sowat 10 000 boeke waaruit besoekers kan kies en keur Hierdie boeke word, net soos die ware by die liefdadigheidswinkel, deur die publiek geskenk
Dit word teen baie billike pryse verkoop
Daarnaas is Pennie se krapwinkel, waar ’ n groot verskeidenheid gebruikte artikels te koop is
Dit sluit in rystoele, krukke en bedpanne
Klante word die opsie gebied om dié soort artikels ’ n ruk lank te huur Dit is veral gerieflik vir mense wat so iets net tydelik benodig en nie alles nuut wil koop nie
“Die geld wat met die verkope by al hierdie winkels verdien word, word aangewend ter ondersteuning van Hospice Bloemfontein,” verduidelik Coetsee
“Ons is baie geseënd omdat mense se hande oop is, en dit is vir ons lekker,” sê sy oor dié projek
“Kom doen inkopies en kom gesels met die vrywilligers wat die winkels beman,” nooi Coetsee
Die Hospice-winkel is Maandae tot Saterdae van 08:30 tot 16:00 oop, maar is nie op Sondae en Christelike vakansiedae nie

Veterinary programme full of promise
The University of the Free State (UFS) announced that plans to establish a new veterinary science programme, which is set to become the second of its kind in South Africa, are at an advanced stage
The chief objective is to increase the number of veterinary scientists in the country
The university’s plans have been bolstered upon receiving in-principle approval from the Department of Agriculture (DoA); the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET); and its minister, and the South African Veterinary Council (SAVC)
This initiative includes the development of a professionally accredited Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc) degree and a state-of-the-art veterinary teaching hospital on the South Campus in Bloemfontein
According to Prof Johan van Niekerk, vice-dean of Agriculture in the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, the programme will leverage the university’s Paradys Experimental Farm
“The campus provides an ideal environment for practical veterinary training The farm’s real-world livestock systems will offer students invaluable experiential learning opportunities in animal care, disease management and sustainable agricul-
ture,” said Van Niekerk
Prof Hester Klopper, vice-chancellor and principal of the UFS, highlighted the importance of this development, noting that it would position the university as a key contributor to veterinary science education in South Africa
“The establishment of a veterinary science programme at the UFS reflects our commitment to transdisciplinary research and addressing national priorities through innovation in higher education,” stated Klopper “This initiative not only strengthens our role in advancing food security,
animal health, and sustainable agriculture, but aso positions the UFS as a pivotal contributor to the continent’s development goals in these critical sectors”
South Africa’s shortage of veterinary scientists poses a risk to food security, animal welfare, public health and agricultural productivity, proven in a report by the Western Cape government in February 2023 The report revealed the country only has 60 to 70 veterinarians per million people far below the international norm of 200 to 400 per million This underscores the urgency of
expanding veterinary education and training opportunities
“This initiative directly addresses a national priority while aligning with continental and global aspirations towards sustainable development especially in the areas of modern agriculture, food security, and environmental sustainability,” confirmed Dr Nalize Scheepers of the Department of Sustainable Food Systems and Development
The UFS’ management stated it has been exploring the feasibility of this programme for the past five years, which involved consultations with
various stakeholders in the higher education and veterinary sectors
“As a public higher education institution, we are subject to national regulation and will confirm commencement dates once final approval and accreditation of the qualification are secured,” said Scheepers The veterinary academic hospital being planned for the UFS South Campus is expected to add extensive value to the broader community “The facility will feature clinical training facilities providing students with supervised, hands-on experience in animal diagnosis, surgery and treatment; public veterinary services offering essential care to local farmers, livestock owners and pet owners in the surrounding communities; and research support enabling applied research in critical areas such as animal health, epidemiology, and public health,” said Van Niekerk “The hospital will address the urgent shortage of veterinary services in the region and contribute to the province’s animal health and food security goals”
Van Niekerk said initially, the BVSc degree would be offered within the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, with plans to establish a dedicated School of Veterinary Science as the programme develops The initiative also supports the UFS One Health Initiative, creating opportunities for research and development
Smooth-running voting operations the intent for upcoming campaigns
The Electoral Commission (IEC) announced it was forging ahead for the 2026 local government elections, benchmarking on progress made during the 2024 national and provincial elections (NPE)
The Election Report provides a full assessment of the Commission's work, successes, challenges and the circumstances under which the 2024 elections were held The report was tabled on 15 July to the National Assembly, as represented by the Portfolio Committee on Home
Affairs
Mosotho Moepya, chairperson of the IEC, stated that while no election is perfect, the elections for 2024 were ultimately free and fair
“The 2024 NPE was by far the most highly contested of South Africa's elections, with an overall 70 political parties, 11 of which were independent candidates, and 52 national parties
To put this into perspective, 14 886 candidates were vying for 887 seats in the national and provincial legislatures,” said Moepya
Strides made by the IEC during the past local government elections include the following:
■ Successfully added 1,2 million citizens to the voters' roll, bringing the total of registered voters to a historic 27,7 million citizens for the first time
■ Increased the number of voting stations and points of service to 23 300, thus reducing the average number of voters per district from 1 900 to 916
■ Implemented at short notice a revised electoral system facilitating the participation of independent persons
for the first time as candidates in national and provincial elections
■ Eliminated attempts at so-called double-voting This was because of the amendment effected by Parliament in 2021, to make voting outside the voting district at which a voter is registered, only available on pre-notification (Section 24A voting)
■ Ultimately, enabled the electoral participation of 16,2 million registered voters in NPE 2024, resulting in a voter turnout of 58,6%, a decrease from 65,99% in 2019, and 73,48% in 2014
Moepya stated that having 70 political parties, 11 independent candidates, and 52 national parties presented challenge to the commission
“Such heightened contestation brought challenges of its own, such as attacks on the commission, coupled with misinformation and disinformation campaigns aimed at tarnishing the image of the organisation
“The commission and some of its staff were targeted in cyberattacks and harassment on social media,” said Moepya
Sportsterre berei voor vir gala
Verlede jaar se Vrystaatse Sportster van die Jaar, Louzanne Coetzee, het glad nie verwag om met dié gesogte titel weg te stap nie
Vanjaar keer sy egter terug, nie as ’ n deelnemer nie, maar as gasspreker op dieselfde spoggeleentheid Coetzee, Bloemfontein se geliefde paralimpiese atleet, is in 2024 dubbeld vereer toe sy die Sportvrou van die Jaar- én die algehele Sportster van die Jaar-eerbewys ontvang het
Die gasvrou vir vanjaar se geleentheid is die voormalige Protea-netbalspeler Vanes-Mari du Toit
Sy sal saam met Rethabile Moshounyane, ’ n plaaslike radio-aanbieder en student aan die Universiteit van die Vrystaat (UV), die verrigtinge lei “Ek het verlede jaar glad nie my eerbewyse verwag nie Ek het buite met iemand gesels toe ek hoor my naam word aangekondig,” vertel Coetzee
“Dit was vir my ’ n groot verrassing” Coetzee, wat gesiggestremd is, het reeds wêreldwyd bekendheid verwerf
Sy het ’ n silwermedalje in die T11-afdeling van die 1 500m-wedloop en ’ n bronsmedalje in die T12-marathon op die 2020 Paralimpiese Spele in Tokio gewen
In 2024 het sy haar sukses voortgesit met nog ’ n bronsmedalje in die 1 500m op die Paralimpiese Spele in Parys Sy is nou hard aan die oefen vir die Berlyn-marathon, wat in September plaasvind Coetzee sê sy sien baie uit
na die Sportsterre-aand, dié keer as inspirasie vir ander Hou Novus Media se gemeenskapskoerante in die Vrystaat – BloemNuus, BloemExpress, Vista en VrystaatKroon – dop vir meer inligting oor vanjaar se benoemings
Die geleentheid word op Donderdag 9 Oktober aangebied en begin om 18:00 vir 18:30 Kaartjies word teen R480 per persoon verkoop Belangstellendes kan ook teen R4 800 '’ n tafel vir tien bespreek

Joint effort transforms healthcare
LIENTJIE MENTZ
The University of the Free State (UFS) collaborated with partners committed to six robotic procedures as part of their Mandela Day Project
Prof Anthea Rhoda, deputy vice-chancellor Academic, said the UFS is committed to using its knowledge and resources to build a more just, sustainable, and humane society
The project that was an initiative between the UFS, the Free State Department of Health, African Synergy Health (ASH), CMR Surgical, and Marcus Medical launched and used Nelson Mandela’s iconic prison number 46664 This entailed four surgeons performing six robotic procedures on six patients, over six days, across four specialities It came to an end on Monday, 28 July
The initiative forms part of the larger Mandela Week Surgical Marathon hosted by ASH, a registered not-forprofit, public benefit organisation established to alleviate surgical backlogs in the public sector and other African hospitals It showcases the unique multidisciplinary robotic surgery capabilities located in the Universitas Academic Hospital in Bloemfontein
The surgeries was performed in urology, hepato-pancreato-biliary, colorectal, and upper gastrointestinal and general surgery
The surgical team taking part in this initiative included Dr Rebecca Fourie, head of the UFS’ Department of Surgery, Dr Frederik Claassen, academic head of the Department of Urology,
Dr Willem Dahms, senior lecturer and medical specialist in the UFS’ Department of Urology, and Prof Colin Noel, associate professor in the Department of Surgery
“We believe that this initiative we are sharing with you today speaks directly to a growing societal dilemma Robotic surgery is transforming modern healthcare and in the hands of our skilled surgeons enables precision, flexibility, and control beyond what was previously humanly possible,” said Rhoda at the launch on Wednesday, 23 July
According to her, robotic surgery has become a powerful tool to address health inequity, empower the public healthcare system, and put healing, dignity, and justice in the hands of
Some members of the surgical team are,from the left,Prof Frederik Claassen (academic head of the Department of Urology), Dr Rebecca Fourie (academic head of the Department of General Surgery,both of the University of the Free State),Napho Mokake (professional nurse at the Universitas Academic Hospital Theatre),Hangiwe Ngeno (operational manager at the Universitas Academic Hospital theatre),Atang Moahloli (enrolled nurse at the Universitas Academic Hospital theatre),Mami Matsoso (auxiliary nursing assistant at the Universitas Academic Hospital theatre),Natasha Geyser (clinical application specialist in Robotic Surgery at Marcus Medical) and Dr Willem Dahms (senior lecturer and medical specialist in the UFS’Department of Urology) Photos: Supplied
those who need it most
The chief executive officer (CEO) of the Univeritas hospital, Dr Balekile Mzangwa, said at the launch the surgeries represent a beacon of hope - a light for those whose lives will be transformed thanks to the generous partnerships that have been formed for this initiative "This initiative exemplifies the incredible power of collaboration At the Universitas Academic Hospital, we firmly believe that real progress
in healthcare comes from working together not just within the walls of our hospital, but across sectors, organisations, and communities The success of this project is a direct result of the unwavering commitment, expertise, and generosity of our partners, ” he said Dr Viola Morolo, founder and director of ASH, said the company was birthed to address the exponential surgical waiting lists in public hospitals As a surgeon, she felt that they
were not delivering on the hope with which patients came to them “Having been exposed to this and turning patients away time after time, hearing on the news that there are so many patients on elective surgery waiting lists, as well as knowing that those numbers are actual patients it was just a compelling call for me as a surgeon to think how the team and I can be part of the solution How can we support the Department of Health,” she shared

Syferkoppe reis na Hongkong
’n Span van vier leerlinge uit die Vrystaat en Noord-Kaap het van 14 tot 19 Julie aan die Primary Maths World Competition (PMWC) in Hongkong deelgeneem en met ’n trofee huis toe gekom
Die span het die trofee verower vir die beste kulturele nommer wat opgevoer is Dit is die pret kant van die kompetisie, waarin die leerlinge van oor die wêreld heen ander aan hul kultuur blootstel
Die PMWC is ’ n internasionale wiskundekompetisie vir laerskoolleerlinge en vind jaarliks plaas Vanjaar het 32 spanne uit 12 lande deelgeneem Deelname vind slegs op uitnodiging plaas, en slegs twee spanne word toegelaat om Suid-Afrika te verteenwoordig
Vanjaar het ’ n gekombineerde span uit die Vrystaat en Noord-kaap as die Bloemfontein-span, asook ’ n span uit KwaZulu-Natal as die Durbanse span, na die kompetisie gegaan
Die Bloemfontein-span is uit vier gr 7-leerlinge saamgestel: Orion Chen, Ikem Nwafor (albei van Grey-kollege), Wendy Chang (Laerskool Ladybrand) en Andrew Garnett (St Andrew’s School) Die leiers wat die span na Hongkong vergesel het, is dr Elsie Schoombie, as spanleier, en Hermina Oosthuizen, as onderspanleier
Deelname vind plaas in ’ n individuele en ’ n span-afdeling
Individueel kry leerlinge 15 gevorderde probleme om in 90 minute op te los In die spankompetisie werk die vier lede van die span saam, deur tien moeiliker probleme onder mekaar te
verdeel en binne ’ n uur op te los Schoombie verduidelik die punte van die twee afdelings word dan saamgetel om ’ n spantotaal te gee
“Die standaard van hierdie wiskundeprobleme is op ’ n internasionale vlak, wat beteken dat die
laerskoolleerlinge wiskundeprobleme moet kan doen wat vir leerlinge in Suid-Afrikaanse skole eers in gr 9 en gr 10 geleer word,” voeg sy by Sy sê daar word ook vrae oor wiskunde-afdelings gevra wat nie in die Suid-Afrikaanse sillabus is nie,
soos gedeeltes van kombinatorika Laerskoolleerlinge van die Vrystaat en Noord-Kaap sal na verwagting weer volgende jaar na die PMWC genooi word Schoombie sê leerlinge wat in 2026 vir insluiting in hierdie PMWC-span
sou wou kwalifiseer, moet nou al oplet na geleenthede soos die Nautiluskompetisie en opleidingsklasse deur die Tricky Maths-program om hulle voor te berei

Rugby giants aim to claw their way back in Currie Cup
TEBOHO SETENA
South Africa’s fiercest rugby rivalries are on full display in the country’s premier Currie Cup, which this year marks 133 years The first official tournament was held in 1892, though the competition’s roots go back to 1889 The Currie Cup trophy was donated by Sir Donald Currie in 1891.
The eight top unions’ efforts in the tournament will culminate with the crowning of new champions after the
final on 20 September
Evidence of the heightened rivalry is reflected in unfavourable results for big teams in their opening matches of the premier division
The Cheetahs are among the big three, including the Sharks and Western Province, who suffered losses at the start of their tournament campaigns
The Sharks are the defending champions, having won the title last year after beating the Golden Lions 16 14 in the final
The weekend result between the two teams involved the Durban-based Sharks being handed their biggest
defeat by the Lions, who won 46 5
In another clash, the Free State giants narrowly lost 35 37 against the gutsy Boland Kavaliers in a pulsating fixture played on Sunday, 27 July
This match also proved the level of rivalry that makes the tournament so reputable
The win was a welcome one for the Kavaliers on their return to top-flight domestic rugby for the first time since 2016 The Cheetahs’ defeat underscored analysis by head coach Frans Steyn, who remarked: “This year ’ s edition of the tournament will be tough”
He had sent the warning signal
ahead of the opening fixture against the returning Western Cape-based side This superb match of the prestigious Carling Currie Cup was also the Cheetahs’ first away game
Steyn’s charges were unable to sustain constant pressure from opponents who displayed amazing fighting spirit They fought from behind to salvage maximum points at stake
Fresh talent from across the country’s unions will take centre stage as the clubs showcase the potential brewing within their squads
With the next match at home in the Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein, Steyn will be looking for redemption
against the Pumas These big cats will face off on Friday, 1 August Kick-off is at 19:00
The ability of Steyn’s charges to recover from the shock defeat and prove their championship pedigree will prove vital in the big task of winning the trophy
The Pumas are visiting the Free State capital with tails up following a morale-boosting 49 28 win over the Griquas in a match played on Friday
Steyn’s mission is to continue blending a competitive, youthful, but experienced team, and he is hoping his new breed of talented players gel in time as the competition progresses
