it was in 2003 when i 1st met my grandfather. I grew up till i was 18 not knowing my fathers family members. I didnt want to accept them as i grew up poor and always having to move around most of my liher wasnt well. I stayed with my aunt, my sister and her inlaws. When my mother told that she wanted me to go meet my aunt for the 1st time i didnt want to go. After i went i have resented them for they lived a good life and i asked myself did they ever ask about me and how i was. My mother sat…

When I started my business I never thought it could get this far, it’d exciting to see the progress that I see. Again it’s qiet scary sometimes, not knowing what’s coming next, but Doc Mabila has contributed much into my business skills in terms of keeping focus and choosing the right people to work with. Since starting to capture Youthzones events and after getting a Mac Pc to assist me in Editing Youth Zone projects, my work has improved a lot further. Sometimes there are people seated out…

After long correspondence via e-mails, social networks and phone calls, a group of change agents met at eShongweni Dam's Spirit of Adventure (SoA) for a one day strategic retreat. This retreat would mark a life changing experience for everyone involved as it featured great team building activities headed by the great SoA staff led by Brad (infamously known as uSinkwa)…

I say this with pride and confidence. Evaton Arsenal has no peer on its level. We just won a 4 team knock out tournament and anything thats put on the tabke we chew. ABI and Youthzones knw this for a fact, Josh and Danny of fevertree hav e seen it too. Don't get me wrong, i'm not being cockey, im just proud of the boys.

Evaton North YZ Leaders planned a trip to Durban after we heard that Doc and Simon together with ABI are going to have a CSI day in Umlazi. The trip was great from the beginning when Doc said he can take us to Durban with the car, even when things didn't seem to go well at first but our spirits were very high so nothing could touch us. We then met with Joey who is an awesome chick, free spirit and all. We really had a great time in the car singing songs (most of them made up lol) and talking…

After a year of joining Youthzones, this weekend was an eye opening experience and a joy to my heart, I now  understand the essence and  the purpose of the organization. Seeing other Youthzones members doing what they love. I'm inspired to be a better person, not for me but for other people.

There welcome we received in Jane Furse was so amazing and genuine and the best thing is that it came from real people with real emotions. We were not celebrities but the respect we got…

I'm with a lady here in Evaton who is doing her Learner-ship in career guidance and she has been here since the 1rst and yet not many students know that she is here. so i offered to sacrifice my computer classes for her to introduce herself to the students and hold sessions with them coz i really believe that every learner needs some career guidance. hope she'll get the necessary permission.

You know that Doc talks about HUMBLE people, i think two brothers that visited us here in Evaton last Friday  with Schalk, Graham and Doc to come play with the students. those guys where as cool as you can get. Big ups to youthzones, you guys know how to connect coz the people you meet with really know how to treat their fellow beings.

One would judge from someones status or even their skin colour but not looking at their personality. big ups again to Josh and Dannie (Our new American…
