11 CUT still stand a good chance to be the
league winners
Could it be too late to stop the trolls trampling over the
entirepolitical discourse?
appreciate the effort of the Students’ Representative
ICouncil in helping their fellow students. My heartfelt
condolence to the late Itumeleng Choane’s family, his
dedicationwillnevergo unnoticed.
It boggles my mind to see what is happening over the political
spectrum. I’m a proud South African. Social media has helped
to democratise the political discourse, forcing journalists – who
would otherwise simply dispense their alleged wisdom from on
high –tofacescrutiny.
Some take it badly. They are used to being slapped affectionately
on the back by fellow inhabitants of the media bubble for their
latest eloquent defence of the status quo. Baring in mind that
people interpret and attached meaning to situations differently,
give you the bone of contention. The entire political spectrum is
deteriorating in standards. The citizens’ voices are disregarded
and seen as impractical. Greed has barricaded the world with
hate. Don't despise the misery upon us now, is but the passing of
greed.
I'm not a politician,butjusta concernedcitizen.

Itumeleng Choane a third

Also known as Spisho,
Itumeleng was born in
F r e e d o m S q u a r e ,
Bloemfontein. He was a very
down to earth person, career
drivenand versatile.
His sudden death in Cape
Town during a tour with his
fellow SRC members comes
as a shock this is according to
the spokesperson of the
CUT, Dan Maritz and the
SRC President Solomon
Khiba commended Choane
for his contribution towards
transfor mation at the
institution and for speaking
out against racism. “The
impactof hisworkwillnever
go unnoticed here at CUT.
We shall remember him for
his contributions in student
leadership and for making us
grow as a formidable centre
of learning – a place of
scholarship for young people
in thiscountry.
Working as an SRC member
a t t h e U n i v e r s i t y o f

everyone around campus and
worked hard towards helping

Student Touring Association (STA) an
association designated for students that are
more outgoing and love touring and
exploring all aspects of the tourism industry , this
association is not only about touring but team
building , having fun and serving the
community as they already had their first
community service at the Sunflower Hospice
that has become their adopted home.Seems this
association had their balls counted, as they
already went on a rather exciting adventure a
boat cruise in the Glen and Maselspoort area
and according to Rakgomo Jacob Taule who is
doing his post graduation in education (PGCE)
the boat cruise was amazing experience, it felt
like he was in a cruise somewhere in Mauritius
and on top of it all this cruise was also a
platform to get to know each other better since
new members are recruited on a annual basis.
What's on their cards this year is the freedom
walk with the aim of condoning and promoting
healthy living. Mpumalanga trip, that's for
exploring nature on the flip side which is another
province and closing their year in style in one of
SA’s neighbouring countries the Kingdom of
Lesotho known as the home to Basho shoe.

The significance of
academic excellence
Professor David Ngidi the DVC for Teaching
and Learning, reiterate the significance of
academic excellence.
Academic excellence is the
demonstrated ability to perform,
achieve, and/or excel in
scholastic activities. Academic excellence
has been identified with achieving high
grades and superior performance. But
academic excellence is more than just making good grades. It is the
maximum development of your intellectual capacities and skills in
service to humanity.
Academic excellence benefits according to Prof. are :
Ÿ Making a meaningful contribution to society throughout your
life.
Ÿ Receiving academic scholarships.
Ÿ Being competitive in the job market.
“We encourage student to do their utmost best in their academics,
because when applying for work in the cooperate sector -
employers scrutinise applicants Cvs first, and the best will get the
job” He concluded.

time to represent the institution at USA under the

A
s South Africa's democracy evolves, it is
becoming a more diverse but integrated
country and cultural diversity continues to
be one of its strongest assets. South Africa is a
country where creative expression flourishes and its
endless cultural diversity is embodied through
traditional and modern interpretations of songs,
dance, theatre, design, fashion and food. Cultural
diversity is expressed in a number of ways, one of
the most prominent of is the different cultural
influences on that goes into the food that we eat.
Though we now celebrate the diversity of our
cultures, there is no real substance to our traditional
practices; they have become perfunctory. It was a
much wider community, a community of people of
different races and ethnic divisions, closed off from
one another except for trade and labour purposes.
Celebrating the diversity of cultural has become a
norm to CUT. The annual multi-cultural events is
much of interactive event; where both students and
staff members get a chance to learn something new
from one culture to the other. With so much exciting
activities; dance, poetry, singing, etc. one can
extrapolate by saying; it is a fun and educational
event.

it’s actually a bad thing and it still exists

Who is affected by Vitiligo?
Vitiligo seems to be somewhat more common in
people with certain autoimmune diseases, including
hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid gland),
adrenocortical insufficiency (the adrenal gland does
not produce enough of the hormone called
corticosteroid), alopecia areata (patches of baldness),
and pernicious anemia (a low level of red blood cells
caused by the failure of the body to absorb vitamin B ).12
Scientists do not know the reason for the association
betweenvitiligo and theseautoimmunediseases.
However, most people with vitiligo have no other
autoimmune disease. Vitiligo sometimes runs in
families. Children whose parents have the disorder are
more likely to develop vitiligo. However, most children
will not get vitiligo even if a parent has it, and most
people with vitiligo do not have a family history of the
disorder.
What are the symptoms of Vitiligo?
People who develop vitiligo usually first notice white
patches (depigmentation) on their skin. These
patches are more commonly found on sun-exposed
areas of the body, including the hands, feet, arms,
face, and lips. Other common areas for white patches
to appear are the armpits and groin and around the
mouth, eyes, nostrils, navel, genitals, and rectum.
Vitiligo generally appears in one of three patterns:
·Focal pattern—depigmentation limited to one or
only a few areas.
·Segmental pattern—depigmented patches that
develop on one side of the body only.
·Generalized pattern—the most common pattern.
Depigmentation occurs symmetrically on both sides
of the body.
In addition to white patches on the skin, people with
vitiligo may have premature graying of the scalp hair,
eyelashes, eyebrows, and beard. People with dark skin
may notice a loss of color inside their mouths.
How is Vitiligo diagnosed?
The diagnosis of vitiligo is made based on a physical
examination, medical history, and laboratory tests.
What treatment options are available?
The main goal of treating vitiligo is to reduce the
contrast in color between affected and unaffected
skin. The choice of therapy depends on the number
of white patches; their location, sizes, and how
widespread they are; and what you prefer in terms of
treatment.

T
he smartwatch market is relatively new, but
it's already fallen into the same pattern as
mobile phones. So there are a large number
of watches using Google's Android Wear, up against
a choice of two Apple Watches, one large and one
small, in a variety of finishes, but all running the
same operating system, watchOS. Then there's an
outlier, but as Microsoft only makes this, that role
falls to Kickstarter-funded Pebble, with its growing
rangeof versatilesmartwatches.
Here at techradar, Smartwatches go through
the same intense reviewing processes as our
phones and tablets, as we weigh up
everything from design and features, to
interface and price. That means we can bring
you what we believe is the comprehensive list
of the best smartwatches around, telling you
which watch offers the best balance of
function, performance, style and value for
money. Every Android Wear smartwatch in
the world today. Recent improvements to
Android Wear, the release of the far more
feature-packed Apple watch OS 2 and updates to the
Pebble make smartwatches more competitive and
appealing than ever. All of them deliver important
information, from texts messages to email alerts,
without the need to get your phone out. Most also
offer fitness tracking, and apps then open up a wide
rangeof additional functions.

This
memorable,
heart-
breaking story opens
in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia, 1974, on
the eve of a
revolution. Yonas
kneels in his mother's
prayer room,
pleading to his god
for an end to the
violence that has
wracked his family
and country. His
father, Hailu, a prominent
doctor, has been ordered
to report to jail after
helping a victim of state-
sanctioned torture to die.
And Dawit, Hailu's
youngest son, has joined
an underground
resistance movement—a
choice that will lead to
more upheaval and
bloodshed across a
ravaged Ethiopia.
Read it because: Beneath
the Lion's Gaze tells a
gripping story of family,
of the bonds of love and
friendship set in a time and
place that has rarely been
explored in fiction. It is a
story about the lengths
human beings will go in
pursuit of freedom and
the human price of a
national revolution.
Beneath The Lion's Gaze is a
transcendentand powerful
debut that is emotionally
gripping, poetic, and
indeliblytragic.

Let’s go the human way
Nthabiseng Mafata
Alot has been happening in South Africa
from the past year into this new 2016 year.
From Xenophobic attacks in KwaZulu
Natal, Gauteng, Limpopo and the Western Cape…
to the many hate murders in the farms , Penny
Sparrow's racist remarks on social media, not to
mention #SoAndSoMustFall, #ThisAndThatMustFall,
#AccessMustRise, racist attacks at universities (UFS I
see you… wink*) and everything else that the
human society is fighting to see the end or
beginning to.
We all believe that such should not happen and
always say how wrong it is to live in a democratic
country, 21 years later where such still happens. I
am not saying that people should not be concerned
when our nation is not in good shape, maar
I feel we should ask ourselves
what the main cause is and
what is the way forward?
Wa bona if you could take a closer look at all of
these disturbing situations, you'll realise that the
only thing we are fighting is inequality. With that
being said, I thought I could come and introduce a
really cool idea that at least we could all live by, for
the sake of peace… I mean we've tried so many
ideas with so little success already (104 years of
fight for the ANC for one), so I would like to
believe that pluralism is only one way to go, not
only for South Africa but for the whole human
society.

Varsity Athletics
The first lag meeting was held in Johannesburg by UJ. As the new team on varsity athletics, we were
allowed to participate on the B-section with only 10 athletes. The competition was tough for our athletes
as
Most of those who met the standard of participation were new students’ athletes. The level of
competition was high. We managed to get a silver medal from Tsepang Sello who ran 800m. Events of
this caliber needs a lengthy time of mental and physical preparation. That is one factor of which our
coaches are willing to look at for future preparations. CUT was placed last in its competing category.
The last leg was held in Stellenbosch by the University of Stellenbosch. Our athletes were better prepared
this time. We managed to scoop two medals by Tsepang Sello and Elishama Eksteen. Our final overall
team points managed to put us on the third position on our category, great improvement from first leg.
