Awesome fire power displayed

On Friday evening residents of Bloemfontein and surrounding areas were treated to a display of force by 1 South African Tank Regiment during the annual night shooting exercise at the De Brug military firing range. The regiment, which is stationed at the Tempe Military base, entertained the sizeable crowd with an awesome display of fire power by the military’s older Mark I and more modern Mark II tanks. 16 Squadron of the South African Air Force also formed part of the entertainment by showing off its state-of-the-art Rooivalk gunship firing rockets, as well as its 20-mm cannon boasting a fire rate of 740 rounds per minute.

After close to 80 minibus taxis arrived in Bloemfontein from Welkom yesterday, 11 taxi associations from the Lejweleputswa region, which includes Welkom, have threatened to stay in town until their demands are met by the Free State Department of Police, Roads, and Transport. The Welkom United Taxi Association (Wuta) has collectively called for the head of the Chief Registrar of Public Transport in the Free State after an alleged illegal taxi rank has been running in Welkom for nearly 13 months. “We will stay here until they come to us, even if it means we will have to stay here for a week or two,” said Itumeleng Sehume, CEO of Wuta. According to Sehume, the Free State Department of Police, Roads, and Transport’s chief director, Mangaliso Xaba, failed to fulfil his duties and in an interview with Bloemfontein Courant Sehume shared his frustration and stated that the law cannot be negotiated. Sehume added Police officers had their hands full to control that they had, on several occasions since the traffic after close to 80 taxi operators 2014, tried to engage with the department from Welkom arrived in the Bloemfontein CBD but their calls have fallen on (Xaba’s) deaf yesterday. ears and they have now had enough.
