The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) congratulates Mariska Oosthuizen-van Tonder, a Freedom Front Plus councillor in the Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality (JB Marks and Matlosana, Maquassi Hills), on obtaining her Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Health Sciences with Nursing from the North-West University.

Dr Oosthuizen-van Tonder obtained her degree for developing the holistic Bloom Socio-Emotional Well-Being (SEWB) programme for preschool children (aged 3 to 5).

The programme is designed to equip parents and healthcare workers, among others, to identify any factors threatening children’s mental well-being and to take timely remedial action.

Oosthuizen-van Tonder’s Bloom programme fills a major gap in basic healthcare and early childhood development.

The Freedom Front Plus will see to it that Kenneth Kaunda communities benefit from this programme and will also promote its implementation nationwide.

    Van der Merwe was watching a rugby test against the British Lions at Loftus Versfeld stadium in Pretoria. In the packed stadium, there was only one empty seat – next to Van der Merwe.

    \”Who does that seat belong to?\” asked his neighbour.

    \”It\’s for my wife.\”

    \”But why isn\’t she here?\”

    \”She died.\”

    \”So why didn\’t you give the ticket to one of your friends?\”

    \”They\’ve all gone to the funeral.\”

    Some lions just escaped a nature reserve in South Africa

    They were rejected from their group.

    They could maybe ask to be let in the group again

    But their pride wouldn\’t let them.
