I have just landed in Jozi for the first time, excitement felt by every nerve in my system. I followed the track that was taken by my fellow travelers inside the OR Tambo International Airport, and I simple wanted to know where I can board the next Gautrain to Johannesburg Park Station. I made a quick call to Doc Mabila, just to be sure before an serious decision were made, Doctor confirmed all that I needed to know, and I went straight to a security guard from a distance away, and asked…

When I found out about the Youthzones workshop that I would be part of, I really didn't know what to expect: was it going to be a formal gathering were we all get together and speak of how great Youthzones is, would we be introduced to well booked people who know everything, people who exaggerated real life experiences and made legend of reality, dreamers, or at the furthest extent party animals who did not care much about the actual workshop...

These questions loomed in my head as I…

It began on Thursday morning when I got a call from Marvin Hleko, giving me a call checking if I will make the time to the airport... At the time I was finilising my work at the office as I was planning on being away for the entire weekend...I was overwhelmed with excitement for this particular trip which was my first time going to Johannesburg, my first time taking a ride on the flight and to actually travel on the Gautrain... I just knew this was going to be a great weekend, as I realised…

Hi guys 

I'm so trilled to be part of youthzones because, we learn a lot from others and people have passion in everything they do and give it all the energy they have.

these few pass days i met youthzones leaders around SA and we shared a lot and discuss issues that we come upon in our area and challenges we encounter as leaders.

We had a workshop from the professor, we had a workshop from Annie-maria and Unathi that made us to look the world in…

We hosted Kaizer Chiefs Under 17 yesterday afternoon and the game was full of energy and enthusiasm.

The aim of the game was for our players to be scouted by Kaizer Chiefs coaches and at the same time enjoying football at its best. Unfortunately we lost 1-0 but fortunate enough our 3 players were selected and they are going for training at Bosmond next week for their first session with the team. 

My June 16 began in the early hours of the morning, having to get all in place before 07:00 (7am), as we had to leave for Bellville, Western Cape at that time...ensuring that we will be at the Gate before 08:00 (8am), as that is when the program of the day was to start...

We had two netball teams from the Helderberg to participate at the WP Board Games and Erica Trials. 12 teams from the Sub-Unions affiliated to the WP Netball Union were to play in the Board Games on Youth Day and…

"June 16 is a day with bitter memories, but we have to remember and remember to look forward" said Doc Mabila during an event in Intabazwe, Harrismith. 

In the picture above, we see how the 'ngamulas' got involved in youth day: some donating wors, others chips and bread, some cold drinks, some fire wood and others meat. We think this assistance shows…

She used to sit just outside the library on the stairs where all the diligent and geeky students gathered. She had this school teacher vibe about her, always appearing to be in-tune with her books or deep in thought with something totally profound.

She had this habit of slowly running her fingers through her thinly braided human hair and…

We are a group of young people in pursuit of helping others to make their lives worth living and to constructively contribute in creating better communities.

In 2009, we sought the establishment of this youth serving organisation, hoping to organise the youth, to interactively and collaboratively determine the path they need to exercise their responsibilities. We introduced the organisation, realising that the youth has the potential and capacity to create an environment, which can…

Hosting Phil and Nathan from Arsenal F.C. was a dream come true for us here in Mutare today. Everyone in this Youthzone had a tremendous moment as we had a lot to learn with regards to modern football tactics, formations and also, affairs of our beloved team Arsenal. It was so exciting especially for The Gunners fans like myself, to get first hand information about our beloved team. From the 8-2 drubbing at the hands of Manchester United to the dramatic last game win against West Brom,…

 Talent is important. But the single most important ingredient after you get the talent is internal leadership. It's not the coaches as much as one single person or people on the team who set higher standards than that team would normally set for itself. I really believe that that's been ultimately important for us.

As the youth of Cosmo City we are proud of our community...we work hard all day trying to ensure that all is well not only for us but for the older generations and those before us. We got a chance to express our work on the youthzones website and consequently take part in the life skills competition. We completed the manual late last year but could not submit it early as challenges of laptops breaking down, photos disappearing and so on...we had almost given up hope...

As time went…
