Good Evening 

i hope everyone is okay. First of all i wanna thank Youthzones together with Bidvest Vericon and others. in my life i don't know what a payslip is, I never had one. meaning i never worked a professional job, in 2015 i started a small printing business through thee help of youthzones where i use to work in the house for over six years. My business never stopped operating even though i was using 1 small home printer, i managed to get another small home printer that…

Good day

I am proud today to say that my boys my friends my brothers, August and Sam Khumalo passed their matric. It was never an easy road for them growing as orphans without identity documents but yet they never gave up on education, with God by their side I believe they are going far and we are busy cooking something to do with them now that they are out of high school in terms of business.to all my fellow leaders lets keep in mind that mentoring others or leading people is never…

Hi everyone.

I am so happy of what I did this year, or what I have achieved. I don't want to speak of what I received but I wanna speak of what I did to other people. I monitor around my community and I pick one or two boys then I start mentoring them, some of these boys are helping me in my business. But I am happy that I changed their life now it was my first time taking my R800 and I buy a cell phone to one of my boys (Jimmy) before Doc bless him too, I mean I give them what I…

Hi family

I hope we are still doing well. I just wanna speak to all the leaders in different communities. There is no leader who is leading no one, our communities need us like we need our leaders as well. Let us first be honest to ourself and our communities, let no one think for himself or herself here I think is not wise for a leader to collect materials or balls bibs and many more and sell it instead of giving to the community. We as leaders have to keep our friendship…

Hi family

i am happy  and proud to say that the youthzones enterprise development really developed me. Youthzones started small businesses for me years back and because i didn't know anything about business that is why some businesses didnt work out. this family kept on developing me though i failed at first but that really taught me what a business. again last year i started the internet cafe through youthzones, since last year i never stopped working or i never closed the…

HI family

Hi Family

big thanks to all the youthzones leaders who made it to Tarlton yesterday and made the training session and all diversity work a success. it was a great day and all things went well it was great seeing leaders interacting with the players from Tarlton, we learned a lot from them and they learned from us as well. some players knew not what Youthzones is really all about but that is normal some players are new in the team but I am glad that we shared a lot

with them.…

Hi everyone

i visited the karate team last weekend to see how they were coping, i watch them do their training and it all went well. i took over after their session and i did several life skills with them and asked them some question after every session and i noticed that they love blaming others than taking responsibilities, some they change the information that they are given to pass it on to others. reason being bad communication skills some is bad listening skills, some is because…

GOOD EVENING

My family, I am so happy and I humble my self right now to everyone and i would like to say Youthzones is really a healing medicine.  Without it many of us wont be able to stand up or get up from our beds, i never dreamed of being a painter in my life or knowing how to paint but at youthzones i learned that i can do all on my own than to ask always but to work. We are now painting one of the expensive Safari Lodge around Mpumalanga and Limpopo, After i created the…

HI

Today we were playing a 5aside tournament at  Bidvest Wits, there were 32 teams contesting there, as you all know youthzones is a big family I met my brothers yesterday from different communities and we played together for the first time as a family…

Hi everyone

My community is in South Africa and we may not all know this but South Africa is the leader in the world of equality, enjoying an all exclusive constitution, where same sex-marriage is legal and discrimination against LGBT people outlawed. However that has not stopped homophobia and fear to embrace LGBT South Africans as fully equal.  Look every community have gays and lesbians but what I realised in my community is that most of the lesbians are in soccer, they are playing…

Hi family

HI

Today i visited one of the teams in my community, this team use to train in our ground and what i like about this young boys is that they opened their own ground to train in. this is the Daveyton Rovers boys under 15 training.

i was so happy to arrive there finding them training alone without a coach because their coach Neo was training with the super team in Gabon. they were happy to have me and what is funny is that they asked me to train them but i was in a hurry to…
