IN an effort to curb criminal activities in the
Free State, the provincial government under
the leadership of Premier Ace Magashule,
launched a crime prevention strategy in
Bloemfontein on Wednesday.
This comprehensive strategy follows from
the discussions held at the Provincial Crime
Prevention Summit at the Philip Sanders Re-
sort in the Free State capital in April and was
approved by the provincial executive coun-
cil.
It is clear to all of us that the Free State
provincial government is serious about ad-
dressing the root causes of crime and other
underlying contributory factors. The Free
State is leading the way and I sincerely hope
to see all other provinces doing the same,
Riah Phiyega, national police commissioner,
said at the launch in Phase 4.
This initiative interlinks with the White
Paper on Safety and Security and all otherma-
jor strategies of government. These include
the National Development Plan, the National
Crime Prevention Strategy, the Drug Master
Plan and the Social Crime Prevention Strate-
gy.
In order for us to prevent crime; all role
players and stakeholdersmust work in a unit-
ed fashion. Communities, business and civil
society must come together and leverage on
each others resources and capabilities, she
said.
By working together, we will create an en-
vironment where the police can police. By
that I mean, hunt down the criminals, re-
spond to emergencies, protect members of the
community and not be burdened with ad-
dressing the underlying societal issues, she
added.
The commissioner also announced the
launch of an internal anti-corruption unit to
combat fraud and corruption within the
South African Police Service (SAPS).
If we are to successfully fight crime in the
country, we must first get our house in order.
Wemust fight crimewith cleanhands.Wewill
therefore not shy away from taking action
against our own.
We will certainly do it with boldness, she
said.
Phiyega said some of the priority crimes re-
ceiving attention countrywide included gen-
der-based violence and sexual offences,
murder and serious assault, drugs, illegal
mining, burglary at residential and busi-
ness premises, carjacking, as well as stock
theft.
Meanwhile, Magashule urged all the muni-
cipalities to implement the newly-launched
strategy.
The Provincial Crime Prevention Strategy
brings hope and life to this province. This ini-
tiative is aimed at squeezing the provincial
space for criminals.Wewant the police to con-
tinue doing good work and arrest criminals,
he said.
Strategy aims to hit hard
All roleplayers must work together to fight crime

JULIUS MALEMA, the former African Na-
tional Congress Youth League (ANCYL) lead-
er, launched a political party called the Eco-
nomic Freedom Fighters (EFF) at Constitu-
tion Hill in Johannesburg last Thursday.
Malema, who was expelled from the ANC
last year, described his movements ideology
as anti-capitalist.
Our organisation is founded on the princi-
ples of anti-corruption.We are a protestmove-
ment. Anyone who is found guilty will never
sit proudly and wear the beret of the Econom-
ic Freedom Fighters, he told journalists.
We are not like Cope. We are not like
Agang and all of them. We are not like any
other political party. They are not a protest
movement. We have a completely different
plan. Ours is expropriation of land without
compensation. No one has spoken about that.
So you cant say we are like them.
Malema said his party had a plan that in-
cluded the non-negotiable principles of land
expropriation and nationalisation of mines,
both without compensation.
We want to nationalise mines. And we are
not going to pay for those mines. No one has
said that, he said.
The EFFs commander-in-chief also un-
veiled some new members, including sushi-
king Kenny Kunene, actor Fana Mokoena,
former ANC Youth League North West chair-
person Papiki Baboile, former Youth League
spokesperson Floyd Shivambu and former
Umkhonto weSizwe cadre Mpho Ramakatsa.
We are living among the masses. There is
no elite here. These people you see are ordi-
nary faces.
It is not a group of individuals who are
used to power and, therefore, it has been taken
from them and they want it back, Malema
said.
Juju, as Malema is affectionately known,
formed the Economic Freedom Fighters
movement after his subsequent efforts as a
cabbage farmer were thwarted when his as-
sets were seized.
The EFF held their political rallies in Sasol-
burg and Sebokeng on Saturday.
Malema still has the matter of corruption
charges hanging over his head.

ITS the birthday of former president Nelson
Rolihlahla Mandela tomorrow.
Mandela, who is still recovering at Pretorias
Mediclinic Heart Hospital, was born on 18 July
1918 in the tiny village of Mvezo, on the banks
of the Mbashe River in Transkei, South Africa.
Rolihlahla in the Xhosa language literally
means pulling the branch of a tree, but more
commonly translates as troublemaker.
Mandelas father, who was destined to be a
chief, served as a counsellor to tribal chiefs for
several years, but lost both his title and fortune
over a dispute with the local colonial magis-
trate. Mandela was only an infant at the time,
and his fathers loss of status forced his mother
tomove the family toQunu, an even smaller vil-
lage north of Mvezo.
The village was nestled in a narrow, grassy
valley; there were no roads, only foot paths that
linked the pastureswhere livestock grazed. The
family lived in huts and ate a local harvest of
maize, sorghum, pumpkin and beans, which
was all they could afford. Water came from
springs and streams and cooking was done out-
doors.
Mandela played the games of young boys, act-
ing out male rights-of-passage scenarios with
toys hemade from the natural materials availa-
ble, including tree branches and clay.
At the suggestionof oneofhis fathers friends,
Mandelawas baptised in theMethodist Church.
He went on to become the first in his family to
attend school. As was custom at the time, and
probably due to the bias of the British educa-
tional system in South Africa, Mandelas teach-
er toldhimthathisnew firstnamewouldbeNel-
son.
When Mandela was nine years old, his father
died of lung disease, causing his life to change
dramatically. He was adopted by Chief Jongint-
aba Dalindyebo - a gesture done as a favour to
Mandelas father,who,yearsearlier,hadrecom-
mended Jongintaba be made chief.
Mandela subsequently left the carefree life he
knew in Qunu, fearing that he would never see
his village again. He travelled by motorcar to
Mqhekezweni, the provincial capital of Them-
buland, to the chiefs royal residence. Though
hehadnot forgottenhisbelovedvillageofQunu,
he quickly adapted to the new, more sophistica-
ted surroundings of Mqhekezweni. Mandela
was given the same status and responsibilities
as the regents two other children, his son and
oldest child, Justice, and daughter Nomafu.
Mandela joined the African National Con-
gress in 1942. For 20 years, he directed a cam-
paign of peaceful, non-violent defiance against
theSouthAfricangovernment and its racist pol-
icies. In 1993, Mandela and South African Presi-
dent F.W. deKlerkwere jointly awarded theNo-
bel Peace Prize for their efforts to dismantle the
countrys apartheid system. In 1994, Mandela
was inaugurated as South Africas first black
president. In 2009, Mandelas birthday (July 18)
was declared Mandela Day to promote global
peace and celebrate the South African leaders
legacy. www.biography.com

THEY went to the mountain as boys and now
they are back as proud men.
Altogether 26males, who concluded their ini-
tiation ritual last weekend after spending two
months in the mountain, were welcomed back
homewith song and dance byhundreds of excit-
ed community members in Botshabelos Sec-
tion T on Saturday.
There were no casualties as all initiation
school graduates returned home safely, thanks
to the manner in which the Mangaung Metro
Municipality handled the issue of initiation.
The metro has become the first municipality to
have successfully intervened to ensure that this
practice is conducted properly without inci-
dent.
As the municipality we are very proud be-
cause all the boys came back home alive and
healthy. In the past few weeks, there have been
reports of boys dying at initiation schools
across the country. This goes to show that our
initiative aimed at saving lives is working. We
make sure that every boy going to the initiation
school undergoes the necessary check-ups in a
hospital to prevent unnecessary deaths, Cllr
Maditaba Matsoetlane, member of the mayoral
committee for Health and Social Development,
told Express.
Letebele Letele, the owner of the initiation
school, said he was happy about the way in
which things went in the bush. His school offi-
cially closed last Friday to allow school-going
initiates to return home and be ready for the re-
opening of schools on Monday.
Im really excited that everythingwent well.
All the boys are back home safely and their par-
ents are happy.
Im thankful to God for protecting them dur-
ing their time in the mountain.
When I enrol the boys intomy school, Imake
sure that they are 18 years or older. Before any
intake Imake sure they go to hospital for check-
ups. This is done to make sure that they are
healthy and are not undergoing any treatment
before being accepted. The initiates must also
be in possession of a consent form signed by the
parents and they should be accompanied to the
mountain by those parents, he explained.
One of the graduates, who did not want his
namementioned, said: Itwasagratifying expe-
rience to be part of the whole initiation ritual.
Im very happy that I have finally made it into
manhood.FromnowonI canassociatewithreal
men. Ill no longer be treated like a youngman.
RaditlhareMolete, chairman of the initiation
schools committee, was over themoon because
there were no casualties in Leteles school.
Asa committeewemake sure that boysdont
go behind their parents backs to attend initia-
tion schools.
Anyone who comes to the school without
their parents permission is not accepted. We
work hand-in-hand with the municipality and
the Department of Health.
Initiates all return home safely

SOUTH AFRICAS NATIONAL RESPONSI-
BLE GAMBLING PROGRAMME (NRGP)
has been held up as the global leader for pro-
moting responsible gambling, and enjoys a
highdegree of credibility throughout theworld
for its effectiveness and cost-efficiency.
Following international research of world-
wide responsible gambling activities by the re-
spected Toronto-based global reputation re-
search experts GlobeScan, much of the NRGPs
success was attributed to sound and coherent
strategic planning at inception, the collabora-
tive nature of all stakeholder relationships and
the success of its public awarenessprogramme.
The work being undertaken by the NRGP in
terms of promoting responsible gambling is be-
ing studied by industry professionals and regu-
lators worldwide, and its structure and work-
ings areviewedas amodel to be emulated inter-
nationally.
The scope of the research included not only
reputationmeasurement, but also assessed the
work being undertaken to minimise the effect
of excessive gambling. To do the comparison,
GlobeScan compared the NRGP to similar
projects in the America, Britain, Australia,
Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway and
Sweden.
The reports main findings into services pro-
vided and the costs attributed to these, were
based on in-depth interviews with internation-
al experts, analysis of global media coverage,
public opinion and government responses to
responsible gambling issues.
Favourable findings about the NRGP in-
clude:
The absence of conflict between industry,
regulators and government in South Africa is
positive.Therelationshipbetweenrole-players
was found to be on a par and even better than
in other countries. The collaborative relation-
ship between the public and private sectors
was particularly lauded.
The NRGPs programme, while being more
effective, also offers the most cost-effective op-
tion. According to the report, South Africa
spends US$2 million in comparison to $18 mil-
lion inNewZealand, $7,5 million inBritain and
a hefty $85 million in Canada.
In return, the NRGP provides a comprehen-
sive programme of treatment, prevention,
training, a national schools programmeand re-
search. Britain, for example, was found to de-
liver fewer services, engaged in very little pre-
ventionandpublic awarenessworkand funded
very little research that could be used to formu-
late appropriate preventative strategies or
good public policy.
In their assessment of media coverage,
GlobeScan found South Africa accounted for
only 1% of all stories worldwide, with the ma-
jority of these being positive about the indus-
try, regulators and the NRGP.
By comparison, international coverage is
predominantly negative of regulators and in-
dustry, most notably in Britain, as well as New
Zealand and parts of Canada. The report states:
The coverage blames both industry and regu-
lators for failing to address the issueof problem
gambling which they allege is a major social
problem and requires higher levies and more
restrictive regulation.
Although theNRGPenjoys apositive andcol-
laborative relationship with industry and reg-
ulators, it neverthelessmaintains its independ-
ence from both, earning it both credibility and
respect. The report further points to the
NRGPs work as being honest in its dealings
with both media and government.
The grounds for the reports findings also in-
clude the absence of vested interests attempt-
ing to hijack the programme,management and
structure that ensure evaluation of effective-
ness, and cost-effectiveness of activities. It also
highlights credibility of messages delivered to
the public, use of research to inform best prac-
tice in prevention and treatment, information-
sharing and collaboration among service pro-
viders, good relations with the media and peer
review and evaluation.
However, the report also cautions that there
is a potential weakness in relation to address-
ing issues of internet and social media gam-
bling. Dr Vincent Maphai, NRGP chairman,
said that potential problems that could result
from internet or social media gambling in
South Africa were being researched and that
the NRGP would formulate strategies for edu-
cation and treatment in the near future.
While we have known anecdotally that the
NRGP ishighly regarded internationally for its
approach to problemgambling in SouthAfrica,
we didnt know definitively until now the de-
gree to which the programmes integration of
public awareness, research and treatment was
regarded internationally. The results of this
study are a tribute to all who haveworkedwith
the NRGP since inception, he said.

THE YCLSA Free State also welcomes
the ruling made by the Constitutional
Court to nullify the decision made by
the School Governing Bodies (SGB) of

We have been adamant since 2009
when we had a meeting with the MEC

Makgoe, warning him about the
horrible effect of such decisions by the
SGB.
We call on all learners to mobilise

they have been proven to be unlawful.
All children, irrespective of their gen-
der, race, health status or creed have a

FEZILE SONKWANE, Free State YCL
spokesperson:
AS the Young Communist League
(YCLSA) Free State, we are committed
to promoting and advocating for good
governance especially in government
institutions and public offices.
The recent arrest of the MEC for Health
in the Free State for allegations of fraud
and corruption he allegedly committed
during his previous occupation as a
municipal manager of the Matjhabeng
Local Municipality has propelled us as the
YCLSA Free State to call for the immedi-
ate removal of MEC Benny Malakoane
hence such allegations have the possibility
of tarnishing the image of the ANC.
In our view MEC Benny Malakoanes
removal is rather urgent.
The YCLSA Free State insists and
demands that the ANC deploy credible
and reputable cadres to represent
the ANC wherever the ANC is in
charge.
It is our belief that any person
alleged to have committed any form of
corruption while serving in a public
office on behalf of the ANC must be
immediately released and has their day
in court.
We do, however, also believe that
such persons are innocent until
proven otherwise by a court of law.
}
REV THEUNIS BOTHA, Christian
Democratic Party leader:
HOW ironic to see that a man who has so
little to say, given so much media promi-
nence to propagate his divisive policies.
Malema has consistently represented the
worst traits in African politics and that
is gaining power by pitting people
against each other and making extrava-
gant promises of taking from one group
and giving to another.
The problem is that which is taken
is always utilised to enrich only the
leader and his cronies.
Point in fact being Mugabe and
many other African leaders.
It is time that the country desists
from giving prominence to those who
put forward policies that will only lead
to economic disaster and not economic
freedom as promised.
}
JACKSON MTHEMBU, ANC national
spokesperson:
THE ANC welcomes the resignation of
the Commissioner of the South African
Revenue Services (Sars) Oupa Magashule
announced.
As an organisation, we respect his
decision to relinquish his post in the
face of controversy and place the people
of South Africa and the reputation and
integrity of Sars and government broadly
ahead of his own deployment interests.
The ANC further commends the decisive
action that had been taken by the minister
of Finance, Pravin Gordhan, to conduct an
investigation when allegations of improprie-
ty and misconduct were first levelled
against the commissioner.
Such action was a clear demonstration of
our commitment to rid our country of the
scourge of corruption and spare no effort to
ensure our peoples confidence is main-
tained in Sars and the government.

ALTHOUGH she is already a star in her own
right, the talented Blandina Makatisi of
Trompsburg in the southern Free State is set
to make even bigger waves on the South Afri-
can athletics scene.
The 18-year-old learner of the Trompsburg
Secondary School in Trompsburg has already
participated in the Africa Games in Maputo
in 2011.
This middle-child is the current junior
champion in both the 3 000 m and 5 000 m and
also broke the Free State 5 000 m record.
In April Blandina participated at the ASA
Youth, Junior andu.23Championships inPre-
toria where she received gold in the 3 000 m
for junior women.
Then she went to the ASA Senior Cham-
pionships in Stellenbosch where she came
fourth overall in the 5 000 m and first in the
junior category.
She is currently ranked first on the ASA
2013 junior ranking list in the 3 000 m and the
5 000 m.
Blandina was the only middle- to long-dis-
tance athlete from the Free State who had
been invited by Elana Meyer to the Enduro-
cad training and assessment camp in Stellen-
bosch at the beginning of last month.
This focused athlete has also been chosen
for the ASA Junior African Championships
later this year.
My vision for next year is to participate in
the World Junior Championships and the
Common Wealth Games and I am hoping for
more support and sponsors from the Free
State to help me achieve my dreams, she
said.
Blandina, who says the only way to get to
the top is through hard work and sacrifice,
was also the Express Supersport Lets Play
Sports Star of the Month for May.
My ultimate dream is to participate in the
2016 Olympics, she told Express.

ZUMBA LOVERS
are set to sweat for a
good cause next
weekend.
Organised by the
Vertical Energy Fit-
ness Studio, a zumba-
thon will be held to
raise money for the
SPCA.
The event will take
place on 26 and 27 Ju-
ly at theMimosaMall
in Bloemfontein.
Zumba is a work-
out programme that
mixes Latin dance
and aerobics.
The beauty of the
zumba fitness pro-
gramme is that any-
one can do it. You do
not have to knowhow
to dance at all.
Zumba is for any
age, young, old or in
between. Both men
andwomen can enjoy
the workout, Anne-
rien Erasmus, one of
the instructors and
Miss Free State 2013,
told Express.
She said they host-
ed their inaugural
event at the same
venue last year and it
was a great success
thanks to sponsors
that came to the par-
ty.
We raised a total
of R14 300 for the
SPCA which was
used to pay the
SPCAs vet account,
buy two bakkie loads
of dog food and spon-
sor two kennels.
This yearwewant
to double the amount
raised. With the help
of previous sponsors
and adding new spon-
sors this dream can
become a reality.
Anyone interested
in taking part in the
event will be charged
R100 (adults) and R50
(kids).
Registration can
be done at www.ver-
ticalenergy.co.za or
at the Mimosa Mall
kiosk from 07:00.
Unfortunately, we
only accept cash pay-
ments.
Participants can
do the whole three
hours, or do relay
with team members.
Each participant will
receive a registration
form, wristband and
goodie bag, Eras-
mus said.

Flora Teckie
THE coming together of the peoples
of the world in unity is the most
important need of humanity today.
Achievement of unity on earth
requires changes in our behaviour,
by overcoming any feelings of racism
or prejudice that we may, conscious-
ly or unconsciously, still have and by
accepting the oneness of humanity.
In unity, a unity that welcomes
and honours the diversity of our
backgrounds, problems of humanity
can be solved.
Bahullh says: The well-being of
mankind, its peace and security, are
unattainable unless and until its
unity is firmly established.
So powerful is the light of unity,
that it can illuminate the whole
earth.
The unity of humanity, as Bahs
view it, is a unity in diversity rather
than uniformity.
It is not by suppression of differ-
ences that one will arrive at unity,
but rather, by an increased aware-
ness of and respect for the values of
each culture, and indeed of each
individual.
It is the variety of colour and
culture that makes the world a more
beautiful place to live in.
According to the Bahai Writings:
The diversity in the human family
should be the cause of love and
harmony, as it is in music where
many different notes blend together
in the making of a perfect chord.
The following quotations from the
Bah Writings further illustrate
this: Consider the flowers of a
garden: though differing in kind,
colour, form and shape, yet, inas-
much as they are refreshed by the
waters of one spring, revived by the
breath of one wind, invigorated by
the rays of one sun, this diversity
increaseth their charm, and addeth
unto their beauty.
Thus when that unifying force,
the penetrating influence of the Word
of God, taketh effect, the difference of
customs, manners, habits, ideas,
opinions and dispositions embel-
lisheth the world of humanity.
In order to promote unity and
mutual understanding among the
various segments of the human
family we need to confront and
eliminate all forms of prejudice be it
religious, racial, patriotic, tribal and
so on.
In the Bah view the recognition
of the fundamental oneness of the
human race is the key to overcoming
our prejudices.
At the same time we should value
the cultural characteristics of various
groups in society.
While pride in ones culture can be
a healthy emotion acting as a
motivation to achieve ones full
potential and to reach out to others,
if taken to extremes such over-attach-
ment to ones group can lead to
mistrust and enmity towards other
groups.
Uncontrolled pride in ones
heritage becomes in that case an
excuse for prejudice and hatred
towards those who do not share the
same culture, ethnic background,
language or religion.
The principle of the oneness of
humanity does not imply that we
should abandon legitimate loyalties,
suppress cultural diversity or abolish
national autonomy.
These are all essential if the evils
of excessive centralisation are to be
avoided.
Oneness of humanity, in the Bah
view, implies having a wider loyalty,
a higher aspiration.
It implies subordination of national
and regional impulses and interests
to the imperative claims of a unified
world.
For feedback please send an email
to mangaung@bahailsa.org.za or call
082-773-8301.
Unity is
crucial
for all
OUR attention has been drawn to
fraudulent activities whereby
consumers have received an SMS
message informing them that they
have won money in a promotion
by Unilever.
Unilever is a manufacturer of
brands like Sunlight, Skip, Omo,
Knorr and Robertson spices.
The fraudulent scam involves the
sender requesting the consumers
banking details and requesting
them to deposit money into an
account in order for them to
receive their winnings.
Unilever will never request
consumers to deposit money after
winning a competition.
In case of any SMS contest run
by Unilever, the company will also
not require a winner to send
banking details via SMS.
All winners will be contacted by
Unilever representatives individu-
ally.
Winners will not be expected to
pay any administration or transac-
tional fees.
We also recommend that you do
not disclose personal or any
financial details to anyone you do
not know.
Unilever brands run SMS
competitions from time to time,
but they are fully branded and
recognizable as such.
If you have any suspicions,
please call our consumer care line
on 086-057-2908.

DAVID BAILEY,
the international
soccer school
manager of English
Premiership-side
Bolton Wanderers,
was in town recent-
ly. The knowledgea-
ble coach was in
Bloemfontein to look
for players and to
try and help develop
young footballers in
the Free State.
When recruiting
players the first
thing we look for in
a player is attitude.
Attitude is a little
thing that makes a
difference in a
player. We say to the
players everywhere
we go in the world
that they must have
mobility and good
attitude. One thing I
have found in Africa
is that the players I
have come across
have a very good
attitude, Bailey told
Express.
The other thing
we look for in a
player is that he
must have good
pace, change of
direction, have
endurance, strength
all the characteris-
tics that football
needs. And predomi-
nantly, we look for
what the player does
off the ball. Techni-
cally we find the
players are good on
the ball, tactically
not bad at all. We
also look for
ambition in a player,
amongst other
things. The player
must have passion
and desire to
succeed, he ex-
plained.
His advice to
South African
players who want to
pursue their football
careers abroad is:
The advice I give to
every player is you
have to work very
hard, discipline
yourself and make
some terrific
sacrifices involving
friends and family.
The most important
thing I can say to a
player is to get an
education.
Tyrone Mondi (16)
was one of 40 players
whom Bailey took
through their paces
at HTS Louis Botha.
I learnt a lot of
good things from
Dave your attitude,
how you should
conduct yourself on
and off the field, the
way you should eat,
train and how
important it is to
respect your
coaches, Mondi
said.
Earlier this year,
Mondi and two other
Free State boys were
flown to England to
spend a week at
Bolton Wanderers in
England, thanks to a
partnership between
Simsport Interna-
tional, Free State
Tourism and
Wanderers.

TOYOTA, the title sponsor of the
Toyota Cheetahs, is searching for
a new group of cheerleaders for
the Free State franchise.
According to Kerry Roodt, gen-
eral manager: Marketing Com-
munications of Toyota, wanna-be
cheerleaders for the club dont
need to be professional models or
dancers to enter.
All they need to have is a pas-
sion for the Cheetahs and to pitch
up for auditions at the Loch Lo-
gan Waterfront in Bloemfontein
on Friday.
After entrenching themselves
as the Cheetahs number-one
partner on and off the field, Toyo-
ta has now decided to give fans an
opportunity to be part of the pro-
duct they see on the field - and the
Cheetah cheerleader search is
their first step.
As a proud sponsor of the Toy-
ota Cheetahs we thought it is ap-
propriate to find a way to bring
fans closer to the team and what
can be closer than being part of
the cheerleading team? This way
fans can show their passion for
the team and be a proud part of
the product that is Toyota Chee-
tahs rugby at the same time,
Roodt told Express.
Girls can simply pitch up, sign
up and showcase their moves in
front of the judges. With a simple
one-minute routine, they can be-
come part of the Cheetahs jour-
ney to success with the top 20 be-
ing chosen to compete in the final
on 20 July, she said.
Very important is that partici-
pants need to be 18 years and old-
er. The auditions will run from
10:00 until 16:00, she added.
And thats not all the true
Cheetahs supporters will get to
vote for the finalists with the top
ten not only receiving hampers
from Toyota, but also becoming a
part of the cheerleading squad
that will dance at all Cheetahs
home Currie Cup matches this
year.
Meanwhile, the Cheetahs will
travel to the Canberra Stadium in
Australia to battle it out against
the Brumbies in a Superrugby
game on Saturday at 08:10.
