It was a great moment to see managers, coordinators and directors from ABI branch in Rustenburg sacrificing their day by coming to Mogwase and hang out at the school, painting the classes and netball court and interacting with everyone. My highlight of the day was me being inspired by our nowadays ladies climbing the ladder for the greater heights and becoming leaders in their companies and still down to earth. Thank you to Sesi Nono  and ABI for the donation of air conditioners for the…

The soft skills we normally learn as children or pick up along the way can change the course of history.

Just as we need to learn and practice football, netball or basketball skills, so we have to practice our life-skills.

One of my golden rules is: “never…

For seven weeks, we had a volunteer (from Holland by the name of Thijs, 20 years old) in Somerset East Youthzone Site. He made great impact and we learnt a lot from him. Thank you Thijs.

This morning in Diepkloof Soweto, we had fun: playing football and chatting. The local guys were there as well as some visitors from the UK (Andy and his boys). Firstly, the British boys were not bad at football and I think they were nice. We quickly gave them nick names: Walcott, Eboue, Malankane/Yaya, Crouch, etc. They were cool. Not the rioting type, it seems :-) The experience overall was good.

I was privileged to spend Women’s Day in Soweto.

No - I did not attend any women’s gatherings, listened to no speeches about how women should uplift themselves, or claim more power for themselves. I spend most of the day next to the football field, watching Diepkloof and Freedom…

I have been in Somerset East for three weeks now and the thing that stands out most is that there is a problem with taking responsibility. And then I don’t mean the responsibility of who takes care of what, but the responsibility we have to ourselves.

Everything you do has an effect on your environment and therefore the first priority lies at the outcome of your own…
