Springbokke verloor - terugskouend!
'n Swak besluit deur die afrigter om soveel ou manne in die Springbokspan te sit, het ons die wedstryd gekos. Volgende week sal dubbeld seker gemaak word dat die ou manne eerder op die kantlyn sit en kommentaar lewer en die jonges 'n kans kry!!

A Difference In Opinion...
It Has Become A Norm For People To Treat Each Other With Indignity Based On What The Majority Of Society Deems As Acceptable; If You Don't Act A Certain, Go To A Certain. Club Or Even Belong To A Certain Culture, You Can't Run With Is. It Is Because Of This That You Find Such A Lack Of Respect Among Our Later Generations. The Phrase "Respect Is Earned", Which Formally Meant 'Your Value Will Be Judged Based On Your Ethic' Has Been Taken Completely Out Of Context And Turned Into A Battle Of 'I Refuse To Respect You If You Don't Respect Me First'. This Has Brought About A Nature Of Harbouring Ill Will Between Our Fellow Man Because I Want To Be Accepted Into A Certain Standard For Being Rather Than Based On Merit, Even When My Etiquette Leaves Much To Be Desired. I Fail To Grasp This New Concept Because As A Child I Was Brought Up In Such A Way As To Respect People First, Regardless Of Who They Were, Analyse Their Behaviour And If In fact One Day I Found They're Morals Were Not In Line With Mine, I Could Lose That Respect, But Never In Such A Way As To Frown Upon Or Belittle Them. This Is A Notion That Many People Have Forgotten, So You Find Opinions Being Tossed Around And Swept Under The Rug With Utter Disregard For Sentiment, Which Is Also Something That Vexes Me Completely. Although A Persons Opinion May Not Be In Line With Yours, It Is Not Grounds For You Not To Accept It And Further Go On To Dehumanize And Torment Them Based On Their Opinion. In Times Of Conflict, Both Parties Are To Settle Their Differences By Means Of Compromise. You Accept Each Others Notions, Find Common Ground, Move Forward And Accept What You Cannot Change. To Avoid These Clashes, A Common Mistake That We All Make Is Taking A Stance Without Familiarising Ourselves With The Pros And Cons Of Certain Agendas. "If The Popular Kid Says Drugs Are Good, I'll Also Say Drugs Are Good Because I Want To Fit In With The Popular Kid And I Won't Reason With Anyone Who Is Less Popular Than That Popular Kid Because They Know Best, They Didn't Just Get Popular By Talking Nonsense, Drugs Are Good Because Drugs Are Good." This Is What We Call Bigotry, Bigotry Fathers Ignorance, Which In Turn Leads To Failure In Most Aspects. To Avoid Being That Guy, If Minding Your Own Business Doesn't Seem To Work, I Would Recommend You Become A Fence Sitter For As Long As Possible. In Doing This, You Analyse Both Sides Of Every Respective Case, You Research, You Ask Questions, You Find Answers And Only Then Do You Take A Calculated And Informative Stance, One Which You Defend Against All Odds But Never At The Cost Of Intolerance. We As A Species Have Come To Forget That Being Civil Is The And The Key To Constructive Life Communication And A Balanced Society.
I Don't Have To Respect You, But Valuing You As A Human Being And What You Have To Offer Is
Only A Show Of Good Character. # Vision2020

Pule Mmula!
The Free State Debating Board (FSDB) held an annual debating competition for speakers who would represent the province in the most prestige competition in South Africa. The tournament comprised of 16 teams and 8 schools from the Goldfields alone, not to mention those from other districts. Only the best in the Free State would be selected. The FSDB was looking for Debaters with great potential and debating skill. Two THS teams attended, the senior and junior teams respectively. Pule, being a member of the junior team was selected for the Free State team to represent the province at the national competition which would be held at the Stellenbosch University in Cape Town. As a provincial speaker he was required to undergo vigorous debating training. Their team won 3 out of 4 debates in the national competition against the best debaters from the strongest schools in the country. He also debated against world renowned debaters.
Another tournament succeeded the competition, a local annual tournament held at CUT Welkom called: “Gold Rush” which hosted debaters and speakers from all schools in Welkom, Virginia, Riebeeckstad and Odendaalsrus. This was an open tournament which meant seniors debated against juniors. Pule’s team made it to the semi-finals after three rounds, losing to the Gymnasium senior team which went on to win the league. The THS junior team did very well against the best teams in our district even though the odds were stacked against them.
Lefika Fm invited the THS junior team to debate against the fierce Henties Cillies senior debate team over the radio, the teams were given only 20 minitutes to prepare, Pule’s team beat Henties by a margin of 4-1. (The judges were the public).
Last Month Debate Afrika and Corruption watch, held a three stage provincial debate competition at the University of the Free State to discourage and fight corruption in South Africa. Two teams from THS were entered, the teams received trophies and medals for excellent achievements respectively. Pule was among those who received gold medals.
Pule is now in the THS First Debating Team. In the Goldfields league, Pule’s team has only lost one debate out of 3 and they are aiming to win their league just as their predecessors did last year.
Pule is a young, skilled, humble, motivated and committed debater who strives to achieve greatness. He has a great future ahead with two more years to go in the school and in high school debating.

Vrystaat min water en baie riool...
Die Vrystaat is amptelik tot droogtegeteisterde rampgebied verklaar. Boonop veroorsaak verouderde infrastruktuur dat ongeveer 45% van water tussen riviere en opgaardamme verlore gaan. Inmiddels is tydens ‘n onlangse sitting van die Nasionale Raad van Provinsies in Bloemfontein gesê dat wydverspreide riool wat aanhoudend in riviere en spruite in die provinsie beland, veroorsaak dat die provinsie as’t ware in riool begin wegsink. Daar is ‘n agterstand van meer as 32 000 emmertoilette wat uitgewis moet word, maar daar is nòg water nòg geld om dit te implementeer.
