Freddie Mokhachane

The story

Freddie was born on the 10th June 1966 in Daveyton into a family of 9 children, and he was the last-born child. He’s married to Ngingi, and they are blessed with two handsome young men, Boitumelo and Kabelo, as well as a granddaughter named Paballo.

He underwent schooling at Moshoeshoe and Baikagetse primary schools, then proceeded to Nyathi and Mabuya secondary schools. His tertiary education commenced at Rhodes University where he studied journalism, but was cut short by financial constraints, upon which he returned to Daveyton, and took up a temporary teaching job at Mabuya secondary school, teaching English and History. With the seed of teaching now planted in him, thereafter he proceeded to the University of the Witwatersrand to study B.A. Education. He has also acquired various diplomas including Adult Basic Education and Training, as well as Project Management.

Freddie worked at Phuting Nest from 1992, before proceeding to Unity secondary school. In 1995 he became a district official of the department of education responsible for ABET. In 1996 he took over the responsibility of School Governance and Education Management, and later worked in the Policy and Planning Sub-directorate, which he eventually headed as a Chief Education Specialist. At the time of his passing, he was the Chief Education Specialist managing the Education Operations & Support sub-directorate of the Ekurhuleni North District of Gauteng Department of Education.

Throughout his life, Freddie has demonstrated to be a motivated initiative taker, a team player, a firm yet friendly manager, a critical thinker, a visionary leader, and a committed community builder. He was also an avid reader, thus able to quote various authors in most of his interaction with other people. And he liked to laugh aloud a lot.

At high school he was part of student protests against bantu education, having to flee home to evade the police during his matric year. He survived shooting and poisoning incidents during this period. He would often remind his peers that he is a proud product of Caiphus Nyoka, the youth activist who was brutally shot and killed by the apartheid police at his parents’ home in Daveyton in 1987. He was also active in student politics at tertiary level, occupying various leadership positions.

As a district official, he interacted with a wide range of stakeholders, including SGBs, RCLs, Teacher Unions, NGOs and business partners. He was instrumental in the establishment of ERSA, recruiting both staff and learners, publicised and marketed the institution, and also participated in fundraising programmes for the school. He even twinned the school with international institutions such as Cheshire Country in Britain. He was also instrumental in the opening of many other new schools in the district. He executed his duties with great enthusiasm. When Bekekayo was changed from a combined school to an ordinary primary school, Freddie used his own car to ferry learners to go and register at the new schools around Etwatwa area, he literally chased after a few learners, put them in his car, and transported them to schools nearer to their homes. Freddie had an amazing amount of energy, and refused to allow obstacles to stand in his way during the course of executing his duties. He was at the forefront of establishing non-racialism in school sports, which led to the formation of Benoni Schools Sports Committee, of which he was part. He was also part of the Gauteng Department of Education Mission to Canada to exchange views on educational matters with the provincial education department of Toronto and Quebec.

Freddie was a community builder and leader, having served as the secretary of Daveyton Community Development Forum in 1995; the forum‘s many achievements include the building of the Daveyton Mall and Etwatwa cemetery. He also participated in the CPF, whose duty is to assist the police to fight crime. He has also served as an official of the Independent Electoral Commission.

Freddie was part of teachers who were active in NEUSA, and was a founding member of Benoni Teachers Union (BETU). He was part of the team that actively prevented the apartheid inspired school inspections and stopped the police from invading schools and harassing learners. He was also a founder member and leader of SADTU, serving as an organizer, whose main task was to recruit and mobilize teachers in the Daveyton / Watville area. True to his strong character, he was adamant that every school is a SADTU base. Freddie was nicknamed “COSATU “within SADTU circles because he tirelessly campaigned for SADTU to affiliate to COSATU, and indeed that mission was accomplished.

He actively participated in re-building strong ANC/SACP structures, following the unbanning of political organizations in 1990. He also actively participated in the ANC programmes in Crystal Park / Chief Luthuli area, serving as the branch chairperson from 2010 - 2012. During this period, he energetically ensured that community needs are attended to, and refused to be confined to petty squabbles. His loyalty was to the movement, not individuals. The organization, under his leadership, remained intact and implemented its programmes, ensuring that community needs are attended to by those in authority. He participated in the election campaigns of the ANC, to ensure that his party wins decisively in both national/provincial & local government elections. He clearly understood what it means to lead and to be led.

He leaves behind a rich history of fighting for a better schooling system for our learners, and a better life for our communities. He will forever occupy a special place in our hearts.

MAY HIS SELFLESS SOUL REST IN ETERNAL PEACE!! GO WELL CHIEF!!!!

  If I could sum Freddy up in one word, it will be Grace. He was incredibly thoughtfull in the amount of time and advice he was prepared to give. He was a rare breed of leader within the disttict office -one of a kind that was able to identify raw talent in a person and turn into an asset. Good night my dearest leader, brother and mentor your journey has ended. Your struggle has now begun to cease. Its time to close your eyes to happy dreams and wake to eternal peace. Good night....my Chief

  Farewell Cadre Freddie Mokhachane The only certainty in our present world is rapid and accelerating change. We can either ride with the changes hoping for the best or use the changes we recognise around us to our best advantage. The most distinctive human response to any major or minor change is resistance. Individuals resist change as they fear letting go of the old, safe, routine ways of conducting their business for an unknown and unsafe territory. As humans, we prefer routines and tend to stick to our habits. Furthermore, the transition between the present state and the changed state is difficult for individuals and organisations, as it involves the ending of the current state. William Bridges (1980) discusses the process of individual change by presenting four stages that individuals must pass through to move into the transition state and effectively change: disengagement, misidentification, disorientation and disenchantment! None of us could have predicted that today we will all go through these states of transition when we got to receive the devastating message of the passing on of our comrade, friend, brother, husband and father! Freddie Mokhachane, ntja mme, the cat, Cosatu is no more. He was boisterous, passionate, full of laughter, full of life, firm approach and uncompromising belief in all that is good. We are sadden as we dip his spear to mark our respect for a leader, a cadre, a loyal and dedicated servant of our people, isicaka esibekekileyo. He served the people in various capacity, the foot print he leaves on the ground bears testimony to that. His comrades in the various ANC chatsites will miss his inimitable and robust style as he left no stone unturned from his strong views on the frailties of the reign of the former President Zuma, he did not spare our Mayor and demanded loyalty to the Presidency of HE President Ramaphosa. For a while during the reign of former President Zuma, he had lost all interests in politics and work of the ANC. He did not take much to be convinced and he returned to be the ANC chairperson in Crystalpark. He served with distinction and was followed by another solid Cde in Bangilizwe Solo. He unfortunately has also followed Cde Freddie and passed on the following day after the passing of Cde Freddie. It is almost as if that they wanted to accompany each as they go to join the ANC Branch in Heaven. Cde Freddie was categoric, it is either you are with us or against us. Cde Freddie, as we touched on the metaphor of the states of transition embraced unequivocally the “Thuma Mina” invocation and robustly demanded that we must all respond positively….there is one President that is HE President Ramaphosa. He entered into teaching during a period when teachers were very conservative and feared authority. Very few teachers participated in the progressive teacher union known as NEUSA. It did not take much to recruit this former member of Sasco from Wits. He was very loud about the virtues of a free South Africa and a free Nelson Mandela. NEUSA together with the UDF and affiliates were banned and a huge gap was created. Cde Freddie in his first week at Unity Secondary was already seeking out the “leadership” and demanded action. No amount of calming him down, succeeded and with the support of the COSAS grouping we were forced into action and established the Benoni Teachers’ Union (BETU), supported by Cosatu Khetsi Lehoko. Cde Freddie is a former member of Sasco whilst at Wits University. Immediately after he started teaching, he joined the only progressive teacher union, an affiliate of the UDF and NECC, the NEUSA. (Curtis Nkondo was President & Thulas Nxesi, the National Secretary). He joined us to form the Benoni Teachers Union after Cosas insisted that we must establish a progressive teachers Union, after the banning of the UDF & NEUSA! Cde Freddie distinguished himself as an organisor as he became the main instigator and chief recruiter for the BETU. We had strong support from Dayco, Cosas, etc. Who attended all our meeting with dangers of being arrested? BETU started strong mobilisation of the teachers and for the first time organised marches and other forms of actions like stopping visits to school by apartheid inspectors, Cde Freddie was instrumental in preventing any apartheid inspired school inspection, rejected the notion of the promotion of separate schooling. He was part of the team that confronted the police to stop harassing students and invading schools. Several meetings were held with the police and students to engage the police on their violence against students and schools. Schools became a no- going area to schools inspectors and those who were intransigent were frogmarched out of the school into their cars and pelted with eggs. He moved from one school to the next to ensure that no Departmental official entered any of the schools. BETU in 1990 folded and closed and became Sadtu. SADTU was launched at Sharp 17 and Shepherd Mdladlane became the first President. Cde Freddie developed the nickname of "Cosatu" as he strongly campaigned to have Sadtu to become an affiliate of Cosatu. Most Sadtu members who were both PAC and Azapo teachers vehemently opposed this campaign until through Cde Freddie's strong campaigning we won over the whole of the East Rand for Sadtu to join Cosatu. This was achieved by 1991. Cde Freddie embarked on staff mobilization and came into collision course with his principal, who mobilized the parent body of the SGB against Cde Freddie. He was threaten and intimidated for mobilising on behalf of Sadtu until the leadership came to his rescue and met with management and the SGB. They were extremely hostile towards Cde Freddie and his uncompromising style. Cde Freddie was adamant that every school must be a Sadtu base. Eventually the school Governing Body reconciled with Cde Freddie and once again embraced him into the school but he continued his mobilisation to the chagrin of the SGB. Together with Cde Aubrey Mbelle and Cde David Hlabane continued to ensure that they do not only recognized but participated in building a strong ANC in the township spreading into eTwatwa. BETU and eventually Sadtu grew in numbers and ended up dominating as the leading and only teacher union across all the township of this part of town. The fight to introduce non-racialism in sport in Benoni led to campaigns to introduce Benoni Schools' Sports (Bessco) Programme with Indian, Coloured and White schools participating in schools' sports across Benoni and Boksburg (Reigerpark). His extreme talent and inimitable character led to him being recruited by Dr Braam Fleish, the District Director in Benoni, Department of Education. He distinguished himself as a powerful figure as he contributed towards a better education for all in Benoni. He was instrumental in the campaign to introduce new schools in Unity and Rolihlahla Schools! He leaves a rich legacy in the fight for better schooling for all the people of Benoni. Cde Freddie loved his wife and his family. Each and every moment he spent with his friends who called each other the “Cats” he always knew he had a home and a wife and kids. They meant everything to him. He loved his sister who he visited from time to time. Before he went to buy property in Crystalpark, he stayed with his sister in the township, and as they started speaking SeSotho sa ga Moshoeshoe, you could only watched in amazement, as they “showed off” the intricacies of that language. We learnt by hook or crook, to keep up. May his soul rest in peace and he is offering us the baton to pick it up and take it forward for all the good work that he contributed in. May his wife and son rejoice in the spirit that Cde Freddie’s death was untimely and unexpected, but in this short life he has achieved so much that many people can only envy. We wish him eternal peace in his journey to join his ancestors both from his family side but also on the side of his organisations, the ANC and SADTU. Clive Mtshisa Founding leader of BETU and BESSCO, SADTU Local, and former Provincial Deputy Chair SADTU GAUTENG

  🕯 Fare thee well dedicated comrade, compassionate brother and astute manager. In you we have lost someone who provided our organization with the much needed sense of purpose and direction, structure and discipline. Your dedicated, passionate service driven by a patriotic spirit will always be imprinted in the corridors of time. You fought like a warrior that you were for the emancipation of the black child. I will forever cherish the leadership lessons I have learned from you and much more the support I got from you during my academic studies. Go now and rest in eternal peace my leader.

  🕯 Posted on Behalf of Adv Alison Bengtson DDG:CMD A Tribute to Freddie Mokhachane What a devastating loss to the Gauteng Department of Education and to Freddie’s family! What an absolute loss! Sorrow fills my heart this sad moment, a sorrow that is deep and personal. Freddie was a thorough professional. He was excellent in everything that he did, no matter how big or small the task. I remember Freddie as being a true gentleman, always smiling, always willing to assist. Freddie contribute much to the development of the EN district.

  I, Grace Tshetlo, former principal of ikusasa want to thank God for bringing people like Mr Mokhachane in my career path who is one of the people that believed in me and gave me support that bore sweet fruit at our school. He would always remind who the Captain of Ikusasa was, in 2014 wen we got 95% pass he promoted me to be Pilot of the school. ■ In 2010 a learner Samson could not even afford a pen, not even for the exams, got 5 distinctions soaring in maths and sciences but did not have money to further his studies. It was Mr Mokhachane who said " Mme a re fumanele ngoan enoa bursary" . Today the boy is an engineer he has lifted his family and some neighbors to a better life more important there are other kids he is helping with study fees. He had planned to visit Mr Mokhachane in spring at least. ■ In 2011 Mr Mokhachane solicited two mobile science laboratories for our school from ChemServr and at the presentation he made an instant requisition for the third lab and it was delivered in three weeks. These labs saw our matric Life sciences and Physical sciences results improving to 100% and 98% respectively (the 2% being learners who joined the school in grade 12.) ■ Whenever we had more learner intake in January, I knew who to talk to, to get stationery even from the principals who had claimed not have any surplus. I will always thank God for people like Ntate and will always cherish their support Posted on behalf of Grace Tshetlo
