Votes funds of R243,056 were appropriated. The Legislature prepares its annual financial statements in accordance to Generally Recognised Accounting Practices (GRAP). The Legislature recorded a deficit of R6 934 782 and total liabilities exceed its assets by R5 009 254. Whilst statements have been prepared to a going concern, the recorded deficit is a matter which have to be addressed, as the institution would not want to be viewed with doubt on its ability to function effectively. The Legislature is compelled to also report in terms of modified cash principles, in support of consolidation of the provincial government budget. This reporting is disclosed under part B of the Performance Information as well as the statement of budget comparison. 4.2.1 Virements / roll overs A virement of R100,000 was done between Programme 1 : Administration and Programme 3 : Parliamentary Services. 4.2.2 Discontinued activities No activities can be reported as discontinued. 4.2.3 New or proposed activities Activities were performed as per Legislature programme. 4.2.4 Supply Chain Management The high vacancy rate as well as capacity constraints do have a negative bearing on the SCM operations. 4.2.5 Gifts and donations received in kind from non-related parties No gifts were received. 4.2.6 Exemptions and deviations received from the National Treasury None recorded. 10 4.2.7 Events after the reporting date No events can be reported upon or took place after the reporting date and the date of approval of the annual financial statements that could materially influence the state of financial affairs. 4.2.8 Other Related party transactions in kind refer to the use of the Fourth Raadsaal for convening of sittings of the Legislature.

The Fourth Raadzaal is a National Key Point. No material fact or circumstances which may have an effect on the understanding of the financial state of affairs can be reported upon. I wish to place on record my appreciation towards the Speaker and Deputy Speaker, Members of the Legislature as well as management and staff who constructively supported the institution throughout the reported period. APPROVAL The annual financial statements set out on pages 80 to 119 have been approved. ___________________ TL Mofokeng Secretary to the Legislature Free State Legislature Annual Report 2017/18 11 4.3 Statement of responsibility and confirmation of the accuracy of the Annual Report To the best of my knowledge and belief, I confirm the following: All information and amounts disclosed throughout the annual report are consistent. The annual report is complete, accurate and is free from any omissions. The Annual Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the general recognised accrual principles (GRAP) standard and the relevant frameworks and guidelines issued by the National Treasury. I am responsible for the preparation of the annual financial statements and for the findings made in this information. The Accounting Officer is responsible for establishing, and implementing a system of internal control that has been designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the integrity and reliability of the performance information, the human resources information and the annual financial statements. The external auditors are engaged to express an independent opinion on the annual financial statements. In my opinion, the annual report fairly reflects the operations, the performance information, the human resources information and the financial affairs of the Legislature for the financial year ended 31 March 2018.

The crystal clear water flows down the Ash river all the way to the Vaal dam. The day starts with a short drive out to the river, where we do a safety-brief and explain all the do's and don'ts for the days rafting action. Then we get on the water, practice getting back into the raft, just in case someone does fall out, and then within a few 100 metres from the start we hit the first rapid called "Breathiliser"! After "Breathiliser" it's action all the way with grade 3 rapids like "Car-wash", "Alles-verloren" and "Alles-gevonden" untill we get to?!? The Bridge! Here we get out and have a look at the high-light of the day - an awesome grade 4 rapid with the name: "Fish-pond rapid". After running "Fishpond" we'll gather on the rocks next to the rapid, have some refreshments, and contemplate the wiseness of our actions! Then it's back onto the rafts for more adventure.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-10081-7 — South Africa, Greece, Rome Edited by Grant Parker Frontmatter More Information South Africa, Greece, Rome How have the histories of ancient Greece and Rome intersected with that of South Africa? This book canvasses architecture, literature, visual arts and historical memory. Some of the most telling manifes- tations of classical reception in South Africa have been indirect: for example, neoclassical architecture or retellings of mythical stories. Far from being the mere handmaiden of colonialism (and later apart- heid), classical antiquity has enabled challenges to the South African establishment, and provided a template for making sense of cross- cultural encounters. Though access to classical education has been limited, many South Africans, black and white, have used classical frames of reference and drawn inspiration from the ancient Greeks and Romans. While classical antiquity may seem antithetical to post- apartheid notions of heritage, it deserves to be seen in this light. Museums, historical sites and artworks, up to the present day, reveal juxtapositions in which classical themes are integrated into South Africa’s pasts. grant parker teaches Classics and African Studies at Stanford University, California, and is currently Extraordinary Professor in the Department of Ancient Studies, Stellenbosch University, South Africa. His research focuses on Roman imperial culture, classical reception, collective memory, and the history of collecting. © in this web service Cambridge University Press

  • Heritage Impact Assessment of Proposed Development of the New
    NATIONAL MUSEUM, BLOEMFONTEIN Heritage Impact Assessment of proposed development of the new Free State Reserve Bank, Bloemfontein With regard to archaeological/architectural/cultural and intangible heritage Prepared by Loudine Philip and Marianna Botes 5/31/2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report was prepared in request of Roodt Architects on behalf of the South African Reserve Bank in support of a Section 38(1) application to be lodged with the Free State Heritage Resources Authority for the demolition of all structures on Erf 37103, a subdivision of Erf 24722, the original declared site of the Old Presidency in Bloemfontein, Free State [Gazette no. 12214 dd 1989-12-15]. This report should be read in conjunction with an earlier Phase I Archaeological and Cultural Heritage Assessment dated 28 March 2007, prepared by Mr Cobus Dreyer. The purpose of this report is not to replace Mr Dreyer’s report, but to clarify aspects that were not adequately addressed for the purpose of a Built Environment and Archaeological assessment. This in particular refers to the requirement of a more detailed description of the history of the original site of the Old Presidency for a better estimate of potential sub-surface finds in terms of the archaeological component. It is concluded that there is no reason to assume that the section referred to as Erf 37103 which was part of the original declared Erf 24722, would have contained any structures of importance that could be linked to the Old Presidency. It is accordingly unlikely that any archaeological material that could be associated with the Old Presidency would be found in this area.

  • Evidence from the City of Bloemfontein, 1846-1946 Diaan Van Der Westhuizen
    Colonial conceptions and space in the evolution of a city: evidence from the city of Bloemfontein, 1846-1946 Diaan van der Westhuizen Department of Architecture, University of the Free State, South Africa Email: [email protected] Mainstream understanding of how the urban form of South African cities developed over the past century and a half is often traced back to the colonial town plan. Writers argue that the gridiron and axial arrangement were the most important ordering devices. For example, in Bloemfontein—one of the smaller colonial capitals in South Africa— it has been suggested that the axial arrangement became an important device to anchor “the generalist structure of the gridiron within the landscape to create a specific sense of place”. Over the years, the intentional positioning of institutions contributed to a coherent legibility of the city structure in support of British, Dutch, and later apartheid government socio-political goals. During these eras, it was the colonial conceptions of space that influenced the morphological evolution of the city. This paper suggests that an alternative process guided the expansion of Bloemfontein. Drawing on the theory of natural movement, I suggest that Bloemfontein grew mainly as a result of its spatial configurational properties. Using longitudinal spatial mapping of the city from 1846 - 1946, empirical data from a Space Syntax analysis will be used to construct an argument for the primacy of space as a robust generator of development. The paper offers an alternative interpretation of the interaction between urban morphology and the process of place- making in a South African city.

  • The Built Environment in Southern Africa: the Influence of Diversity, Culture and Tourism on Conservation
    The built environment in Southern Africa: The influence of diversity, culture and tourism on conservation BG Kotze, Department of Quantity Surveying and Construction Management, University of the Free State Bloemfontein, South Africa. (email: [email protected] ) JJP Verster, Department of Quantity Surveying and Construction Management, University of the Free State Bloemfontein, South Africa. (email: [email protected] ) Abstract South Africa has a diverse and cultural society with a tradition of colonialism, cultural interaction, separatism and democracy. To conserve buildings influenced by South African history, a sympathetic approach to all its cultures is needed to ensure conservation, showing merit in diversity. To this end tourism in Southern Africa plays a major role in respect of sustainability of cultural and historic buildings. This paper will demonstrate how this was done in the past and how future conservation will play a major role in showing the cultural history of the Southern African heritage. The paper will be strongly supported by visual images of the South African built environment. Keywords: Diversity, tourism, cultural heritage, conservation, built environment 1. Background South Africa has a tradition of colonialism, cultural interaction, separatism and democracy within a diverse and cultural society. To conserve buildings influenced by South African history, a sympathetic approach to all the cultures is needed, one that will ensure conservation showing merit in diversity. Tourism in Southern Africa plays an important role in respect of sustainability of cultural and historic buildings. Southern African conservation in the past and how future conservation will play a role in its cultural heritage is demonstrated in this paper.
