The WSU Queenstown campus which includes the Whittlesea site, held a welcoming day for first years in Whittlesea prior to orientation week. Speaking at the event attended by new students, parents, university management and staff, WSU vice-chancellor Professor Rob Midgely, said the Fees must Fall movement had been a great idea “which pointed out a problem in society that needed to be corrected”. “I do not agree with the way in which it was conducted but I totally agree with the principle. WSU is committed to ensuring that whatever government decides would assist students, to be part of it. Many people regard this as free education but it is assisted education. Students will not be expected to pay registration fees or the minimal initial payment, the government will do that. It is important for parents, staff and students to understand that all first years whose family income is below R350000 per annum will be given a bursary upon application by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS). If their income is above the said amount, then fees would have to be paid.” Returning students on NSFAS aid would still be expected to pay back the money when they are in a position to do so. As soon as government can find money, loans will be converted to bursaries. Midgely added that WSU was owed R800-million by students in debt and if that amount were to be paid, the institution would make provision for student residences and an agriculture facility at the Whittlesea site. The Student Representative Council (SRC) president Lerato Tshefu, said he would ensure that all the new students were registered and that his office was available for all those with academic issues.

THE REPRESENTATIVE 9 Februar y 2018 Tel: (045) 839-4040 Emergency: (A/H) 083-272-0955 ° Editorial: sonjar@tisoblackstar.co.za - advertising: charodinev@tisoblackstar.co.za 15 Brown, Hammill in top form THIS Saturday the golf club was a hive of activity again with the annual GHS golf day taking place. The event drew just over 100 players including a junior section that played nine holes. The organising committee of the day can be commended on a slick, well-organised golf day. The junior section was probably the most pleasing part and is something the golf committee would like to see included in every fundraiser golf day. The format for the day was a betterball Stableford and the prize winners were as follows: 1st – Garry Brown and Martin Hammill; 2nd – H Bezuidenhout and John de Villiers; 3rd – Johnny Poyo and Nzame Rawula; 4th – Keith Wood and Aubrey Ferreira; 5th– Johnny Poyo amd Mike Saleni; 6th – Tallie Fourie and JP Michau; 7th – Apols Booysen and Vusumzi Mandindi; 8th – Erin Barraud and Chloe Buss; 9th – Vusumzi Njoli and Elijah Dayi; 10th – Pieter Steyn and Phandile Matoto. Closest to the pins: 5th – Ana Taggart, 8th – Garry Brown, 11th – Thembisile Matoto, 16th – Wayne Bennett, Ladies longest drive – Ana Taggart, men’s longest drive – Eugene Maasdorp, primary school player closest to the pin – Josh Bosch. This Saturday, February 10, is the first round of the Medal Grand Prix. Get your names in the draw to get an early lead in ON Saturday, 318 people ran, jogged and walked the Komani parkrun course, of whom 58 were first-timers, while 117 recorded new personal bests – thanks to the cool w e at h e r. Lene and Jana Benecke were awarded their Junior 10 Club certificates for completing 10 parkruns. SPOR TSSCENE Second defeat for Breakers MAXWELL LEVINE STAR of Hope have set the Super 12 scene alight and brought a new dimension to the competition while B r e a ke r s ’ chances of About 300 enjoy Komani p arkrun reaching the knockout stages have suffered a setback after their second defeat in three outings. Breakers are now fifth in Group A of the Eastern Cape Super 12 championship log with four points. The Mlungisi side were beaten 26-17 by Star of Hope in Uitenhage last weekend. Star of Hope top the group with 11 points after two wins and a draw in the washed out match against Ntlaza. Mathematically, Breakers can still reach the semifinals but it will mean the top two teams must lose all their remaining matches and with Gardens regaining form it should be a three-horse race for the two top spots, with Parks also unbeaten. Gardens got back to winning ways with a 53-12 thumping of Ntlaza Lions. The defending the year-long event. Upcoming events: February 17 – Windhoek pairs; February 23 – SPCA fun run (parkrun route); February 24 – SPCA golf day; March 3 – Medal grand prix; March 4 – Imbono Architects Queenstown ladies’ open (course will be closed for casual golf); March 10 – Get Ahead golf day; March 17 – QCOBA golf day; March 24 – Queenstown closed champs, a one day event, with more details to follow on a new exciting event format in st o r e . WINNERS: Winners of the GHS golf day, from left, Garry Brown and Martin Hammill flank principal Theo Anaxagoras champs were in an unforgiving mood and made clear their intentions of fighting for a knockout spot after suffering a surprise loss in their first match against Star of Hope. These should be worrying signs for Breakers, who face them this weekend. Parks romped to a five-pointer in their 41-15 demolition job of Buffs to move to second in the group. In Group B, Swallows continued their impressive form and made it three out of three with a clinical 33-8 win over Berlin Tigers. One more win and Swallows could be the first team to reach the semis, but a week off will keep the champagne on ice. Harlequins defeated Despatch 39-26 to move to second on the log on 10 points. Kruisfontein heaped further misery on a deflated Police outfit with a 34-24 win. The Bobbies have been way below par this season and the former winners and 2017 finalists have already been dumped out of the competition. Four matches take place tomorrow with Breakers facing their hoodoo team, Gardens, at Mlungisi Stadium. Breakers have never beaten the Uitenhage outfit, suffering numerous defeats at Mlungisi Stadium and away. Known to travel with their passionate support, Gardens are on a mission to revive their hopes for a semifinal spot with Breakers only playing for pride. It’s a top-of-the-table clash with Park hosting Star of Hope. Either result will be good for Gardens who are hot on their heels if either team drops points. Police host Tigers in the battle of the bottom teams with pride the only thing at stake.
