I am Teboho Radebe who long ago I was just bored with life especial in my age where I dont see opportunities in Katlehong. I could being in any side of life. But through hope created by youthzones programs and friendships of the team sponsored by ABI, I managed to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I first got a job in call centre in Randburg simply because I learnt how to use a computer. I then discovered that I need to spend much time in the community hence I resigned and I am now…

After long day of work in Mamelodi and Jozi centre, I decided to hang out with Lungie 's family in Soweto so they can know who she works with and see my face. And the excitement about her new job and opportunity from the rest of the family , her twin sister, her sister, younger brother, mom and niece is inexpressible. The highlight was when her mom shed tears and she said with a smile that her daughter 's dream became true. She always wanted to do this. The rest is history.…

This past weekend was incredible after youthzones team spent time with friends in Intabazwe informal settlement who after long time of injustice and corruption in the running of their football league got tired and started their own league. We were there to support them as friends to design the fixture the league, the rules, administration and put cash to get the stuff which will help them to run league proper. Everyone is so hungry for success, to learn computers. And above all they just…

What are your views Zoners?

This is what some of my facebook friends think: 

As we were in Zenzele today, I made friends with the soccer girls and boys, we exchanged contacts so we can always keep in touch.

We played Soccer with them and made friends with the little ones. At least one life skill was implemented in Zenzele today. 

I finally saw the youthzones office in sandton with Marvin and his sharp nose shoes (lol)

After briefly meeting with Doc at his house, we heard the news that one of the coaches we work with in Soweto had a loved one pass on. My condolences to everyone.

We tried to lift our spirits and off to Zenzele we went, had a great time with the soccer girls there and Doc got a new friend.

I also learned that no all people have friends, like Thandi, a small girl we met there. We…

He spoke about the basics of photo shooting with Ayanda showing the differences between a good and bad photo.

Last week Wednesday, 23rd of August 2012, ABI staff in Katlehong under the guidance of Ayanda and William turned in large number to make a difference in the community. It was incredible.

Young people are getting employed, some starting their own business like Vukani and Teboho 's clothing business, every sports club in Katlehong is got free internet and laptop, teams are exchanging or visiting each other e.g K1…
