Motivational talk for youngsters
With the aim of developing and inspiring the youth, Sammy Sounds Production held a motivational talk for residents at Moriting Park on Saturday last week.
Young people from surrounding areas flocked to Moriting Park to attend to the event.
Children took part in a fun run and soccer games formed part of the fun.
Pre-school teachers also attended the event.
According to the organiser of the event, Mr Sammy Matlou, the event was part of reviving the spirit of Ubuntu.
“We want to change the mindset of our community and encourage young people to participate in sports and other activities that exclude crime. We hope the youth in our township will have dreams about their future and start achieving their goals to make their dreams a reality,” he said.
Mr Matlou expressed concern about talented youngsters’ lives being destroyed by alcohol and drug abuse.
“It is time residents in Tembisa support our talented youngsters to ensure better leaders for the future,” he said.
Motivational speaker, Mr Brothers Mbokazi, urged young people to have respect for elders and concentrate on their school work.
“You should learn to respect, tolerate, persevere and go to school. Education is the most important key to every success,” he said.
Ms Nombi Manzini and Ms Lebo Gumede, pre-school principals, addressed the children about life skills, health, HIV/AIDS and the importance of education.
Six elderly people received vouchers for a night’s stay at Willow View and 20 pre-school learners received Spur lunch vouchers.
