It has been exactly a year since last I hang out with our friends in our current new ten sites and one thing it was going on in my mind was what will these guys think of me as I last saw them last year and everything was great by then and I disappeared for a year. We had to wait for a year to go ahead to work in these areas. To my surprise through our friendship, trust and respect developed between each other, all of them will still remember my name and welcome me with their excitement as I…

A fellow Zoner, a friend, a mentor, a coach, a co-worker is in pain. Simon Blangwe (Coach) has suffered a great loss of his Aunt. No matter how strong you are, death of a loved one will get to you.

Coach, be strong my friend.

it doesn't matter how many times you i fall what matters is how i wake up and i asked god "how do i get the best out of lifee " god said "face your past without regrets,handle your present with confidence and prepare for the future without fear   youthzones has been my pillar of streanght that is y i choosse to reach out and help other, knowing i can make a differance, even though i may never withness the outcome  you are all here for a reason

Is definitely not easy to be secure and confident enough to stand challenges out of my comfort zones. Real skills of living are not taught in the room, classrooms or workshop but in everyday encounters and actual how one react in a certain circumstances, actual the skills are acquired. How do I react in certain circumstances or come out of those circumstances. I just reacted nicely to a middle age man of difference race and looked rich who was trying to be rude and get in front of me and…

          It is possible to give away and become richer, it is also possible to hold on too         tightly and lose everything. Yes, the liberal man shall be rich,by watering             others,he waters himself.Proverbs 11:24-25

This scripture really taught me something that i am witnesing the amazing work that the team…

20 leaders from different Youthzones went to the Joburg Theatre to watch 21 poets and a poem on Friday evening. 

The show blew us away with sentence upon sentence of life changing lyrics and rhyme that was almost to much to take in.

Personally, besides the content of the show, I was just really impressed with the youngsters on stage:…

Talking about it helps a lot. This is how we learn from each other

They just called a few minutes ago to say they are in Kuruman. Hope they drive well.

Bushin and Ashifa from Upington made us wait for them for about 3hours on their arrival in Jozi. Apparently they were lost for about an hour in the CBD but finally got to Jozi centre. Me and Simon then took them to The Vaal Monateng Cafe also known as Lapeng and DJ Christos was playing there so was DJ Warras from YFM. the guys were tired from the 9hour drive but they enjoyed themselves especially when…

Sometimes we need to fail in order to know,
Sometimes we need to be hurt in order to grow,
Sometimes we need to lose in order to gain
Cause some life lessons are best learned through pain.
Have a Great and Blessed Night Youthzones family. 

we normally celebrate birthdays parties every month for every one who is birthdaying that month so this month the kids decided PJ party an it was successful fun was their dancing an we contribute R10 towards the parties. 

I had high expectation on  the soccer tournament that happened on the 4-August-2012,it was a good day all in all  but i felt the managing and organising of the day was a bit  dramatic and poor,things were not organised in time it was a last minute thing,hopefully the people who organised it could learn from their mistake,i enjoyed  networking with other youth from a different place,it was a great platform for us young people to mingle and get to know each.Ofcourse i enjoyed the meat that…

This past weekend in Cosmo City something special happened. Teams from Mabopane, Katlehong and Soweto arrived in full rigour at Sgodiphola Secondary School (Blue Roof) to represent their Youthzones and acclaim bragging rights of being the champions. The day started off well with youth teams namely under 13 and 15 teams from Cosmo City warming the atmosphere before the intense dual would start.

Once the curtain was raised, no bars were held and friends became opponents for the duration…

Leaders do cry too right? or do they? is it right? is it acceptable? who says? does it show weakness?

My name is Marcel and I am veeeerrry new here (youthzone site). In fact, this is the first blog that I have ever posted. I have met Schalk during June and he told me about the exciting things and projects that you guys are busy with. I again met with Schalk this afternoon before he left for the soccer tournament and braai some you guys are engaged in - he was super excited about the event and looking forward to the braai afterwards.

I would really like to meet up at some stage and…

I must say I have many academic, social and sporting certificates or medals from high school and tertiary  and it never changed my life or feel good about myself. Before I will try to display them on my room wall to feel good and be motivated every time I see them, I must say it was just external and past achievement as time goes on. I never felt any motivation to do better or be inspired.  Today, the 2nd of August 2012, I was invited for lunch by our leader Roelf Meyer and to my surprise…
