The Art of Being You(th)! So what does our theme “The art of being youth” mean to our team? Vuyolwethu Heather Dubese I’m not a wordsmith, but allow me to pour out my two cents worth on this theme’s meaning to me. Art is embracing and applying creative skill and imagination, hat of the human being with aspirations in the creative process, also being a solution kwaye ukuZazi (knowing yourself). So, as we commemorate the art of the youth of 1976 this issue, the solution canned in their art of fighting the struggle, let’s embrace and acknowledge OUR struggle and be the change we’re able to be through an art of being YOU(th).

Tammy Abrahams The art if being youth” means I don’t have to apologize for being myself, even if it means my biggest goal in life is to grow a few extra strands of chin hair... but art in all its forms is expression of beauty, so I guess it means living as beautifully as you possibly can with graffiti, rainbows and butterflies and all.
May/June 2013
Tammy Abrahams We are the future, but what we don’t realise is that it is a gift. We take it so lightly and do whatever, but do we ever stop and think that what you are doing now will definitely impact your future? We have the power to change the world, but like Spiderman’s grandpa said, “With great power comes great responsibility.” Kim Julie I am a 20-year-old graduate in photography and currently studying journalism at City Varsity. I love fashion photography and photojournalism. Although the two genres are quite contradicting, I guess that’s the art of being young and free: the ability to explore all your options and use your crazy imagination to make something that seems impossible, possible!!
Lana Jacobus I’m 20-year-old studying Photography at CPUT in Bellville. So what does 'The art of being youth' mean to me? Being able to express ourselves uniquely as the youth of this generation as we showcase our gifts and talents blessed unto us, doing so alongside freedom of choice and the responsibility thereof.

Muhammad Shaheed
Luxolo Ganca The art of being youth is the very fabric of youthfulness. It is the time of energy, vigour and enthusiasm. It is the positive expression of these characteristics that define the ‘art of being youth’. These attributes - vigour, energy and enthusiasm create expectations from those who have passed the stage. These expectations present opportunities for success and development.
Muhammad Shaheed Bull “The art of being youth” means that you are an artist who finds your unique style once you’ve come to know yourself. When that happens, you are ready to dazzle the world with your breathtaking abilities. In simple terms, everyone has their own set of goals and objectives, mine in particular is to become the best and use that for the betterment of mankind. The process and method used in achieving that is your art, your future masterpiece in its primitive form, destined for greatness.
ED’S LETTER
WOWEEEE-KAZAWEEEE! Zazi Magazine’s very first Editor’s letter has arrived! Zazi, Zazi, beautiful Zazi. The new issue has landed and focuses on “The art of being Youth” – the name Zazi says it all. We are all about encouraging the youth, motivating young people and empowering them to go for whichever dream they set for themselves as no dream is too far to reach- all you need is hard work, dedication and belief in YOURSELF. Zazi aims to embark upon issues taking place in our communities, educating young people to stand up and go against the notion of not being able to succeed because of where they come from. We as young people need to understand that where we see ourselves ten years from now does not depend on where we come from; it depends on how much succeeding means to us and how much we want it for ourselves. So what if you’re from Mitchell’s Plain or Delft; and so what if you live in Langa or Gugulethu, don’t let your surroundings stop you from being the person you want to be. Find yourself and be proud of who you are - It’s the art of being You. Zazi Magazine is for those who have opinions and those who need encouragement to voice their opinions; it is for those who see a bigger picture for themselves and those who need guidance to see the person they desire to be. We wish to keep you up to date, to provoke your thought, while keeping you entertained. It really has been a crazy, fun and intense rollercoaster ride since first joining this awesome team. Tables were all covered with notes, a few printed issues of magazines, random motivational quotes, to-do lists at the fashion coordinator’s corner, pens, chalk, some fruit here and there, and laptops at every work. Even though there were moments of doubt whether we’d get through everything, we got through it ‘coz when we push, we push hard. That’s what makes this, by far, the best youth magazine out there. When Zazi Magazine goes into a hyperactive production period, remarkable things happen. Friends and co-workers work together in intense brainstorming sessions for themes and story ideas that aim to feed the mind. After all the chaotic writings, running around and bundled nerves, it all gets done and it’s quite inspiring to see how this little community, which we call a family, comes together to make Zazi, yet again, achievable. We hope you enjoy this youth month issue which highlights how we as young people can be whatever we want by taking back our youth. Read about this (pg.26) and be sure to check out the “June 16 – A national party day” feature (pg.22) which deals with what happens on public holidays, and how almost all of them have turned into national party days. If you are interested in joining the Zazi family as a writer, you are most welcome to send us an email at shanaaz@zazimag.co.za and sisanda@gmail.com. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this issue and keep in touch. Yours Sincerely,
Shanaaz Abrahams May/June 2013

BUZZ
The bigger the better Go big or go home! That’s the buzz this season. Make a statement and be bold in fashion, beauty or simply stand out by exploring daring colours. Whatever you choose be bold and beautiful and follow the trend of awesomeness By: Tammy Abrahams
The ‘fro is back, but this time it’s bigger and even more outrageous. Think bold dyes like bronze red or deep purple. It’s all about the colour which is bound to bring out the edge in any hairdo. If the ‘fro is not your cup of tea then stick to what works for you but whatever it is make sure its big.
Bold and beautiful gold jewels are a great way to round off your outfit. Not just any kind of gold piece though. The bigger you go the better. Wear your bulky gold jewellery with a basic white blouse and skinnies and you’ve got a killer ensemble.

May/June 2013
Get a bunch of people together, choreograph a routine and dance your heart out. This has the best element of surprise for onlookers and makes their day. It might take a lot of planning, but the outcome will be awesome. Flash mobs are cool and have become the latest craze to hit the streets.
Are you the kind of girl who loves her sneakers, but struggle to find the match between your sneakers and still keeping that feminine edge? Then wedge sneakers are just the thing for you. They are comfortable and come in a range of colours and just great for the winter days. Try them with three quarter pants and if you’re trying to make a bold statement, go for colour stitching or prints.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF
Junior Council Mayor Thandokazi Sineke
By: Luxolo Ganca
Last year Grade12 student Thandokazi Sineke from Khayelitsha was appointed Cape Town’s junior council mayor. The Mondale high school pupil believes her purpose is to provide for those who do not have the means of providing for themselves. We caught up with her and she gave us a glimpse of her life in office
05:40: ON THE WAKE Q: You’re up early…What’s for breakfast? A: I don’t eat in the mornings because I’m always in a rush. Q: why are you always in a rush? A: Well I usually sleep at around three o’clock in the morning on most days doing my school work, because now that I’m in my matric my workload has piled up. 06:30 Q: Ok, what do you do after you’ve gotten ready for school? A: well I leave the house and rush for school before 08:00 because I travel from Khayelitsha to Mitchell’s Plain. 10:40: BREAK TIME Q: How were you elected as junior council mayor? A: My teacher told me about the opportunity, so I applied through the processes and I got nominated and the rest is history. Q: What do your responsibilities include in your role as junior council mayor? A: My responsibility is youth development, and assisting in ensuring the youth have a better future. Recently I was involved in a project where we provided a school in the Phillipi community with computers.
13:30: AFTER SCHOOL Q: So it’s the beginning of the weekend… What are you going to do with your Friday afternoon? A: This is the time during the week where I get to focus on my responsibilities as the junior council mayor. Sp I stay behind after school with my assistants and we make calls to potential sponsors and write up proposals to various organizations. We also use this time to plan projects and implement strategies for future endeavours. 17:00: FINALLY HOME TIME Q: How do you end off this day? A: I’m finally done for the day so now I’m going home straight home to prepare for tomorrow because I have Saturday classes.

COVER STORY
Inspire me Young It is always an incredible moment when you meet young people doing great things in the lives of others and these young people are great inspirations to all out there.
Nicola Soekoe (19years old) Nicola is involved in “The I am Challenge” which aspires to motivate young people to be the best they can be by living for a cause greater than themselves. In this way, she is aiming to break the habit of young people focusing too much on worldly things. This initiative has t-shirts for each participant with their names on it which they would wear everyday for a year- this would be to show their dedication and it also places emphasis on the fact that what you wear does not make you the person you are. “The I Am Challenge is becoming a global movement of youth passionate about making a difference, with belief in the simplistic and a heart for other people.” With this project, Nicola would like to raise enough money for a 12 year old Nonstikelelo’s and play the role of a mentor to her. Nicola has strong belief that she can change Nonstikelelo’s life and help her through school. This, however, is not the end for Nicola as she’s starting a new organisation that would support high school students in South Africa; this initiative is called “with love from the world”.

COVER STORY
Henko Roukema (19) Henko, being the adventurer that he is who enjoys life to the fullest and ice swimming (brrrrrrrr: cold beyond!), is also the South African representative of the Mike Horn PANGAEA Young Explorers Program. That’s not all, he is also the founder of an organisation who wants to motivate young people to discover, save, and help others. This organisation is called Young Explorers South Africa (YEZA). Apart from the responsibility of running an organisation, he is also a volunteer as a Big Bay Beach Lifeguard. He has strong beliefs in aiming high and reaching beyond the boundaries set aside. His aim is to encourage young people to do the same and to reach their goals no matter how big or how small. But like most of our young people, Henko has faced some challenges along his journey and soon discovered being proudly South African makes it all worthwhile. In that way, we all have to allow Africa to be part of who we are, have positive attitudes, self-confidence, resilience, imagination and initiative, which would make our journey in reaching for our goals so much easier.

COVER STORY
Mogamat Dayaan Salie (16) Mogamat Dayaan, either known as MDS or just Dayaan is a motivator who wants and encourages young people to change their mindsets about who they are, how they describe themselves and how they want others to see them. Many would say that this little guy speak too much, however they cannot argue about the fact that he has visions, not just for himself but for you and the next person. He might not have developed organisations like others his age, but he’s still an inspiration in his own right. He enjoys family bonding moments, hanging out with his friends, watching movies, let’s not forget about playing video games and other cool things teenagers love to do. Consequently, what makes him a bit different to any other teenager is his love for debating whether it’s about religion or history. He would in some sense consider himself to be a businessman, don’t we all, right? Nevertheless, he’s main purpose for being this motivator is for encouraging young people to think out of the box, and including Africa to be who they are first, in that way diversity in terms of race can be eliminated, leaving no room for labels, categories and groups. Nazley Rhulumente (23) Nazley, who speaks 6 languages, enjoys listening to music, enjoys reading, going out and having a good time with her family and friends, never seizes to forget about making time for mankind. She’s a very warm, down to earth person who also has a passion for helping others. For a few years, she has been involved in a number of voluntary work in and around Cape town that includes feeding schemes in the less fortunate areas and life-skills programs with the youth as a volunteer at Mustadafin Foundation. Whilst being a volunteer at this organisation, Nazley did some creative reading and writing with the youth and also mentoring programs. After leaving the organisation to pursue more great things, one would think that’s the end of her, right? Well, nope not at all. She still goes around and does her bit in the community with the help of her peers by cooking for the less fortunate and making donations of warm clothing and perishable foods as winter dawns upon us. It is evident that bringing smiles to others is part of who she is and making a change in at least one person’s life is good enough, as you only need one person to make a change.

It’s the month of June, and Zazi is celebrating the art of being you(th). What better way to do that than talk to your favourite local celebs on what they remember about being their 13-year-old selves and the advice they would give themselves knowing that they would end up loving what they do.

Unathi Msengana
Sonwabo Kambo, but you better know him as Ma-B from the awesome Cape Town manskap representing the genre of Spaza (Xhosa vernacular rap) on a National level. Driemanskap has released their hit single “Izulu lelam” from their highly anticipated album which will be hitting the stores soon. “The best way to stay out of trouble is to keep busy. At the age of 13 you have just started high-school, meaning new chapter, new peers etc. It’s always good to have some extra mural activities added to your daily routine, join the sports teams, drama class, choir so that you don't have a lot of time in your hands to think of the negative or be influenced by it.”
Ma-B
Chumani Pani
The television, film and theatre actor has been gracing our screens for a few years now, whether it’s as Malusi on Montana or Patrick on I Now Pronounce You Black And White, Chumani Pani advises in this short and concise message… “Well I'd tell him that this is the time where you really start to think about and find your true passion and what you want to pursue as a career choice, go for it fully but don't close your mind to other possibilities. Go for it.”

White Coffee
Metro FM radio presenter, award winning musician and SA Idols judge, Unathi Msengana is a force to be reckoned with. Having tender mature years behind her (a lady never reveals her age), her words of wisdom to young ladies and gentlemen of South Africa echoes deep. “Stand tall, be proud of who you are and who you represent. Understand that life is anything you make it to be.”
He’s the official DJ for Legit’s nre face Toya deLazy and is doing major things for the brand that is Dj White Coffee aka Nkululeko Moyo. This is his monologue with his 13 year old self… First and foremost I would tell Nkululeko not to rush to be a "Grown up". The world is cruel and becomes harder as you grow older. I would advice my 13-year-old self to enjoy being young and the endless pleasures that being a teenager brings. I would tell him that everything is not always what it seems. I would tell him that it is okay to feel, showing emotion/ affection does not make you less of a man but indicates that you are alive inside and you're human. My 13 year old self would be told that no matter how "uncool" my elders may come off, their advice will last forever and I should listen to them while I still have the opportunity to. I would emphasize to Nkuli how important it is to read- it encourages growth, knowledge, more understanding of the world we live in. I would encourage him to dream and explore his dreams and know that not even the sky can stop him. And last but not least proper preparation prevents poor performance.”

Beating the Winter Beauty Blues
By: Shanaaz Abrahams
Don’t you just hate it when winter brings more than a rosy glow to the cheeks? I’m talking about that uncomfortable dry skin on all parts of the body, the brittle hair and those cracked winter lips. Make sure this isn’t you this season and take note of what you should be doing to curb the winter woes.
Chapped lips is not just a beauty disaster for the ladies, it’s an issue for the gents too. They are usually caused by lack of moisture on the lips and surrounding areas and result in constant licking - this stops NOW! Lip balms, Vaseline and Zam-Buk are great for chapped lips but you should start using them before the problem arises.
Soaking in a hot bath feels great after roaming the streets in the cold, doesn’t it? Well, did you know that hot water baths and showering for long periods of time takes away the necessary oils and moisture from the outer layer of your skin which protects your body? This causes dry and irritated skin. Protect your skin by applying a good moisturizer as soon as you get out of the bath or shower to retain moisture.
Moisturizing is the most important thing to do during winter. Lather your body in oils and body butters that are especially formulated for winter. If necessary, you may apply more lotion before bedtime to lock in the moisture. Follow this ritual daily to keep dryness and skin irritation at bay.
Winter really knows just how to damage our hair. The cold weather outside and the central heating indoors dry your hair out until you’re left with no more shine or volume and leaves it feeling limp and brittle. So if you want to ensure your hair is protected eat lots of fruits and vegetables which will help give your hair shine. Try avoiding the flat iron because it also damages and dries out your locks.

CAREERS
Meteorology: Forecasting for the Future After ten years in the weather prediction business, Jaqueline Riet could give you a seven day forecast in her sleep. The Science of the weather is an expansive topic, so we asked her to shower us with some wisdom. By: Qiyaamudeen van der Schyff
What you would need to be a meteorologist Who would you recommend to study Meteorology? You firstly need to be someone who has a genuine interest in weather, have an inquisitive and analytical mind, be a people’s person as your job requires you to work with people daily and be able to perform as part of a team and as an individual. You will also need to be someone who can perform under pressure. As far as work ethic goes, you need to be responsible and reliable person, someone who would go the extra mile for the organisation and for others.
A Meteor what? What does it mean to be a meteorologist? Meteorology is the science that deals with atmosphere and its phenomena. A Meteorologist (Weather Forecaster) is someone who studies and forecasts the weather. Why meteorology? What sparked your interest? I have always found the weather to be fascinating since my childhood. Being able to pursue a career in Meteorology was a dream come true.
What are the challenges associated with a career in Forecasting? You are required to work awkward shifts, sometimes starting very early in the morning and getting home very late.
With every job there’s good and bad What are the perks of your job? Since the weather differs from day to day, no two days in the office are the same. Everyday always presents a new challenge. My job also includes travelling from time to time. Both nationally and internationally, and I get to know more or less what the weather is going to be at least five to seven days before anyone else. (laughs)
24
May/June 2013
CAREERS Is there equal opportunity for women in forecasting? Yes there is. It is open to anyone but progression in the field is determined by the drive of the individual. What are your daily duties? As one of the Senior Forecasters in the National Forecast Centre I’m responsible for overseeing all the forecast products issued in the office. I have to give guidance input for the seven day medium term forecast to the five regional offices and consolidate their day to day forecasts to create the national forecast that is issued to the general public and media (e.g. SABC Television News, SABC radio, community radio stations as well as News papers). I am also responsible for issuing five day guidance forecasts for heavy rainfall and strong winds to the 16 SADC countries.
What has been the biggest highlight of your career in forecasting? I went to La Reunion Island for Tropical Cyclone training in 2006. This was my first international trip. In 2009 I went for training in Belgium, my first time in Europe and also my first time experiencing real snow with temperatures below zero every day.
What other career opportunities are there with Meteorology? Apart from forecasting there are meteorology technicians who design, build and maintain the meteorological instrumentation. These technicians major in electrical and electronic studies. There are also climatologists who do climate studies and seasonal forecast.
What are the cons of your job? Shifts and sometimes long hours which sometimes includes working on weekends and public holidays. At times it can get stressful especially during hazardous weather conditions when you have to get through your regular shift duties, as well as liaise with disaster management and keep the public informed and up to date with the developments in the weather.
For those considering a career in Meteorology, what subjects would they require and what degree should they pursue? They would need Matric maths and science with a 60% pass for both and an honours degree in meteorology at tertiary level. An honours degree would take four to five years.
Advice for anyone who wants to follow in your footsteps? Know yourself and what you want in life. Work hard towards accomplishing it and don’t let setbacks and challenge make you lose focus of the goal you have set before you. May/June 2013

June 16 – National Party Day? Set to commemorate the bravery of thousands of pupils in the 1976 Soweto uprising, June 16 was once remembered as a day to celebrate fallen heroes. But now all we look forward to on youth day is a day off and the bash that will surely come with it. By: Tammy Abrahams
Exactly what are we Remembering?
What have we turned it into?
In the 1970’s the apartheid government passed a law that would make Afrikaans the medium of instruction in BANTU education (a system designed to train Africans for their role as labourers and servants in the apartheid society).
Thirty seven years later, and the commemoration of these valiant high school students has been desensitized into nothing more but an excuse for a good party. For last years’ installment of ‘Youth day’, the National Youth
This then resulted in an uproar from the black community and caused the retaliation of scores of high school students to descend into the streets to protest against the ruling. On that fatal day, June 16 1976 at least 176 students were reported dead in the conflict, and thousands more wounded in a deadly clash with the police.
Development Agency (NYDA) launched a celebratory event in remembrance of the Soweto uprising, by organizing a gig, with the likes of Zahara, Big Nuz and Teargas amongst others to perform. So what exactly was the establishment promoting and what kind of governmental leadership was this youth organization reflecting? How was this in any way teaching youth about this painful history? If government fails to recognize this trend and fails to actively get involved in changing the perception of the public, our heritage is doomed. Our leaders need to adequately acknowledge the sacredness of these national holidays, which are an important aspect of South African history and the beckoning of our future.

FEATURE
Becoming Aware The acknowledgment of the tragic events of 1976, serve to remind the nation as to just how important the youth is for national progression. Yet the scenes of alcohol abuse at these celebratory events paint a grim picture of the regression of the faith the public has for our youth today. 19-year-old Jessica Lobi says, “These extravagant parties have failed to depict the spirit that those young men and women showed to the world in their quest for equal education”. Instead public holidays have become national party days. Nation wide events take place to celebrate them, and the South African public is meant to take time out to reflect on their significance and history.
Sidebar: Know your Public Holidays 101 • The most famous picture of the uprising is by Samuel Nzima of Mbuyisa Makhubu carrying the body of 13-year-old Hector Peterson who was shot by police with Hector’s sister Antoinette Sithole running beside them.
Yet for many like 20-year-old Alice Mathebe this could not be furthest from the truth. For her youth day means “little high school teenagers put on their school uniforms, parade the streets and then party all night”. This sentiment is worrisome, as it shows how distorted the messages of the June 16 1976 have become and one of the many reasons the commemoration has become impotent.
• Many white South Africans were outraged at the government’s actions in Soweto and about 300 white students from the University of the Witwatersrand marched through Johannesburgscity centre in protest of the killing of the children • Riots broke out in black townships of other cities in the country and by the end of 1976 at least 600 people had died across the nation • Visit www.june16.org.za for more information on the events of June 16 1976.
The Reality of our Public Holidays None of the other SA national holidays are exempt from being tarnished by reason of excessive partying and drinking. A social norm in SA is that, weekends are meant for having a good time. And the perception is that when holidays fall on either a Friday or Sunday, creating a long weekend there’s more time to drink and party. The public has lost touch with what these national holidays stand for, and this creates a risk to further desensitize generations to come on the real reason for these holidays. Yes we should enjoy as well as celebrate our public holidays, but there are ways in which this can be achieved constructively, without such unjustifiable methods that cause greater harm to our heritage than good. Constructive ways of commemorating these holidays will leave a legacy behind rather than beer bottles on the side of the road and a lethargic workforce the next day.

Taking Back Our Youth Sometimes it’s easy to feel like Mother Earth is out to get you. Life has its ups and downs but bouncing back is a matter of what you do to ensure that the legacy you are building for your future resembles you. Zazi because it’s an art to be you(th). By: Vuyolwethu Heather Dubese
You hear “A bottle of Jameson in my hands, in my hands. I don’t have no plans, I don’t have no plans” and instantly realize its Dj Ganyani feat the Shangaan Busiswa’s dope track Xigubu. And I can’t help but find my tired body on the magnetic force field called the kitchen dance floor. I’m pulled out of my trance when my mother sends me to the Somali shop down the road to buy that random onion. I now find my head bopping to the rhythmic sound of more commercial house playing about four houses away from home at the tavern. As I draw closer to my destination, the wavelengths of the music shorten and I’m deafened by the music for a brief moment. I religiously look on towards my left and spot one of my 14-year-old sister’s friends in her cute pink dress, her hair recently relaxed and those non-virgin lips fixed on her young companions’. I sheepishly greet, and my greeting is replied to by a blank stare, the kind that screeches “Oh Nkosi, ndibaqiwe kwaye uzakundixela kumama” (oh God she saw me, and she’ll report me to my mother). I ignorantly sashay away from this norm eKhayelitsha, head back home and pray to God that she doesn’t become yet another township statistic who’s only 15 seconds of fame would be on the SABC News for being brutally raped and killed. This is South Africa, a gateway of hope. A gateway of hope for who though? It’s a gateway for you. Yes, YOU!!. You are the youth and the future of not just your family, but of your country too and they depend on the way you utilize that complex organ science has labelled “the brain”. Just because you are born and raised in the townships of Crossroads, Nyanga, Langa and Gugulethu – it doesn’t mean that your lifestyle should be what statistics dish out every few months. You, I and we are more than just numbers populating the soil, we are young South Africans and we need to take back our youth. But how?
32
May/June 2013
FEATURE I already hear the disregard of this statement. The catalyst called self-pity and another called apathy seem to do nothing but immobilise the whole initiative of youth taking back their place in society. I also understand why the difficulties and questioning would ensue too. I mean, you have the youth of 1976 and beyond to look up to. They set the bar high, and I’ve heard quite a few young men and women argue that since apartheid is over, there is no need to fight anymore. I mean, we’ve received our equality and freedom, what more could we want? Why should we continue fighting when black folks are now attending Model C white schools and we have white beggars on the streets with no jobs? There is no more “struggle” right? Apartheid is over right? Well I beg to differ. Youth of Mzansi, in case you hadn’t realised here are just a handful of your new “struggles” in 2012: • • • •
At least 600 000 graduates are unemployed Over 70 cases of sexual assault against children are recorded daily At least 758 minors are victims of attempted murder In South Africa, there are 40 000 child prostitutes
Can I share with you some of the things my life has taught me so far? I am my own challenge. Yes, competition is good and it’s healthy, and sometimes it fuels you to work even harder. Realise this, that being your own challenge should take up atleast 90% of your time. This is all cans the failure, mistakes and all the traits and experiences that of which you have come to pass in your few years on this planet. Wear these scars proudly because they have made you who you are today, and it’s only up to you to decide whether this can be for the better or not. Failure is only a stepping stone which can fuel you to do better than you even thought you would. It’s only a mistake if I do it once, but habitual if I perform a duet with the mistake a second or third time. Take control of your life, take control of your youth – it’s all in the art of being you(th).
I could go on yes, but this would not do anything but grow awareness. But now is the time to go into labour and deliver a future we can proudly call our own and cultivate for the next generation. But how does one do this - take back your youth? Easy, it’s all in the art of being you(th). Be true to who you are and in all you do and be in control of your own future. Stop feeling pitiful and resentful towards people in your past. It’s easy to play the “blame game” when you are from a location that was and still is affected heavily by Apartheid. But this is YOUR future and you might not be an Einstein or Bill Gates, but we all possess a Pablo Picasso in us to paint our future and make it as colourful as it ought to be.

For the love of Netball with Courtney Behr Cemented in the memory of South Africans young and old, are the triumphs of the Springboks of 1995 at Ellis Park where the rainbow nation was born. Then the ’96 Bafana AFCON champs followed and most recently Cha le Clos at the London Olympics. Today we turn the attention to our local athletes, raising the standards of sport in S.A. By: Muhammad Shaheed Bull
Early Bloomer Young netball extraordinaire Courtney Behr from Elsies River started playing the game at the age of five, way ahead of many of her peers. Seemingly untouched by the negativity surrounding her growing up in the ghetto, her voice and body language ooze confidence and a sense of self-worth. A 14-year-old like no other, her list of credentials make her age nothing but a number. A regular starter for the Western Province under-14 team, two time gold winner at the inter-provincial tournament and consecutive player of the year in 2010 and 2011, this girl is going places fast. When asked about her role model she quickly responds “Bronwyn Bork. A South African netball player who grew up in Mitchell’s Plain and under her circumstances she did well to be where she is now. She’s shown me that it’s possible to come from an underprivileged neighbourhood and achieve great things,” she says. She does however admit that netball is really competitive, and you must be able to stand your ground and be mentally fit too. “Some girls try to push you around, you just have to fight back and let them know that you`re here. I swear netball is more physical than rugby, we take each other out.”

Clear Goals & Support Her ultimate goal is to represent South Africa at the Commonwealth Games, a feat which you wouldn`t dare doubt. Her natural talent has earned her a scholarship at one of the top schools in the country, which helps her improve academically and on the netball court. “My school is very good. We’re the top netballing school in the Western Cape and last year we finished sixth in South Africa, so we`re pretty good. My teachers help me a lot. When I was in grade 6, our tournament was during school hours, and we had many trials. My teachers actually copied my school notes for me.” Her parents are warm, friendly and supportive of her dreams and perhaps the key ingredient for her rapid advancement in netball. “My parents are always willing to take me wherever I need to be for practices and games,” she says. They also work hard in ensuring that their daughter is seen to financially on her trips around the country raising funds by having sly braais with their family and friends. Her future is bright, an example giving hope to anyone tasked with achieving success under trying circumstances. Her message to all zazians: “It doesn’t matter where you come from, it’s what you do that makes you who you are and if your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough.”

ZAZISE
Skateboarding is not just for the white surfer dude According to the father of Longboards, Kent Lingerveldt, the art of skateboarding is loving yourself, a form of self-expression and giving the freedom to think outside the box By: Vuyolwethu Heather Dubese
Longboarding Is For Anyone and Everyone As any budding and aspiring journalist would, I do my research on Kent before I meet up with him. But being the ball of nerves that I am the night before I conduct this interview, I can’t help but scramble to find whatever last bit of information I can on the man. “You’ll find me on 52 Wright Street in Woodstock, that’s where Alpha Longboards is situated” says Kent over the phone, and these words are echoing in my head as I head out to the artsy Woodstock. With google maps not being of any potent use, I rely on what I call my voice and doing what any lady would do when in trouble – ask for directions. I eventually arrive at the location and I am greeted warmly by the father of Longboards. He ushers me into his office and upon my good timing, I’m lucky enough to witness how he goes about his business. A nine-year-old skater and his dad are ironing out the design of his brand new longboard and the excitement is written all over young boys face. “I’ve always wanted to skate on a longboard, I think I’m way too old for a bike now” he says sheepishly. I’m stunned that at such a young age, a skater is born, but Kent sets me straight. “Skateboarding is not just for the white surfer dude; let’s move away from that notion. I don’t want to ostracise longboards from anyone. Anyone should be allowed to skate.” he says.

ZAZISE Giving Back Through Lazy Alpha Sunday And, when Cape Town gave back to him, he only saw fit that he also reciprocate the deed. In an interview he did with the online global creative platform Creative Nestlings, he had this to say on young creative Capetonians, "There is a sense of insecurity in their own work. This mentality that we should keep it all to ourselves is what holds Cape Town back." This is the ideology that encompasses his skateboarding group. Young and aspiring skateboarders, teamed with seasoned professionals come together every Lazy Alpha Sundays (LAS) and just skate."Me and my crew started getting together in District 6 where we would initially just skate and chill, but then it grew and now we have and call on whoever wants to skate. The name, funny enough, is just an explanation of how we all feel after eating that Sunday lunch – lazy," he says. Kent adds that the location of LAS is a sign of reclamation of land, of the streets and taking them back. And to him the art of being you(th) is “just being happy." Through his club, strong youth who are able to embrace the adversities of life and tough enough to fall and pick themselves up and skate again are cultivated.
Cape Town Jou Lekker Ding Having grown up in streets of Mitchells Plain and because of his parents' divorce, Kent found himself moving a lot around Cape Town with his father and this he says was priceless education. "My 18 years of cruising the streets is engrained in me, there is no city where I would want my street education in," he says with a smile. Not only is he known as the Godfather of Longboards on our streets, but his traits extend to photography too (which his love for is quite evident in his office space), which he says allows him to capture in images the things that take him through the highs and lows of his days in Cape Town. The city has claimed his life and given to him a million times more fun than dull moments.

OUT OF AFRICA By: Alex Whitaker & Annemarie Baldassarre
The not so Blurry Future of American Youth The state of the world has changed dramatically in the past 20 years, and along with it, so have the opinions and concerns of sequential generations. Issues important to teenagers in 2013 are much different to those important to teenagers in the 1970s. The issues are relative to the time. Teenagers are troubled by what’s happening around them. Attitudes about how and what teenagers care about have also changed drastically. Technology has had a profound influence on the thoughts and cares of 21st century teenagers. Overall, teenagers, no matter the decade, are active contributors to the state of affairs of their time.
THE IMPACT OF TERRORISM According to most teenagers in North Eastern America, terrorism has been a big concern. With the 9/11 attack and the Boston bombings we have been surrounded by terrorism. It seems to come on the most peaceful days, which makes these occasions even more sombre. As Americans, we can count the number of times we’ve been attacked on our own soil on one hand, so every attack is extremely upsetting and startling. When acts of terrorism happen we wonder, why us? Generations before us had to worry about terrorism too but why is it discussed more now? Weaponry has changed along with the entire mindset. Video games and television shows have impacted our entire view on life, changing our thought process and thinking things are correct when they aren’t. Talk of terrorism and violence is spread through television and video games faster today than it ever was pre-2000s, and as a whole our society has become more ‘accepting’ of it. We continue to live in a world, which supports consumer goods, which, in the long run are bad for the minds of young children. The question is how can we stop it?

OUT OF AFRICA
THE RIGHT TO BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS Another area of concern for is the heated topic of gay rights. Twelve states have allowed gay marriage. That means thirty-eight states have yet to do so. Some American teenagers use social media as a place to smear homophobic comments on the internet. But just because someone is gay doesn’t mean that they are different from you and me. We asked people that were born in the 1960’s to tell us if gay rights were a concern to them when they were teenagers. Almost all of them said no. This is another way that the world has changed over the years. Concerns for the rights of all human beings has always been an issue, in one form or another, but the issue of gay rights is the most talked about promoted issue of change in American teenager’s lives today.
LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE But the most pressing issue to teenagers all across America and even the world is what will my future be? In high school we are pushed farther and farther every day to do our best and get into the best colleges. But what if we don’t want to go to a prestigious school, but a place that fits our personality? And after college, will we get a job? Where will we end up? Will we have a family? Will we have enough money? These questions orbit around our brain’s constantly, along with many others. We can’t even begin to answer these questions. Every child all around the world is obsessed with figuring out where they will end up. In Robert Frost’s poem, The Road Not Taken, he describes two different paths and his future will depend on which road he takes. That is how our futures will end up as well.
IT’S WHAT YOU DO THAT MATTERS While asking adults and parents what problems troubled them when they were teenagers, we found similar answers. The majority of them were concerned with politics, money, the Vietnam War (the major social issue of the time), and their own futures. In many ways, our concerns are the same even though twenty years has separated our generations. Our parents fought for what they believed in when they were young, as do teenagers now; staging protests, raising money for causes we stand for, and trying to take control of the issues that face them. By taking control of the issues we face at an early age, we can help others while helping ourselves. We can push the issue of terrorism to the U.S government and fight for gay rights. We can work hard and achieve the future we want, and get a good education. We can try and change our futures and our present, and attempt to make the world a better place for the generations to come.

gemini This week you need to face your fears. You have courage deep within, all it takes is a little push in the right direction. That is why the stars are advising that you suck it up and cross the main road while the cars are coming toward you. Everyone needs to face their fears sooner or later. Your time is now.
cancer You need to keep busy. It is the only way you will forget about what you did last summer. Let’s face it you keep having flash backs and it’s not good for your health. Burn candles and sing the old Mc Donald nursery rhyme. You will feel much better because only you will know what you’ve done to those poor animals.
leo Can anyone say grrrr? You are giving off a scent that's attracting people to you like crazy. However, the stars are sending out warning signs of chaotic cross dressers who are only pretending to be members of the opposite sex. Be careful not to find yourself in any compromising position. Stay strong Leo, the best is yet to come (or the worst) whatever floats your boat.
virgo You get the feeling that you need to get back with your ex. Everyone keeps telling u how great the two of you were, but no one is telling you how to get back together. The only way to do this is by stalking your ex. Stalking alone won’t help either. What you need to do also is to wave frantically at their parents and say the following before you greet them; ' I have the urges of a lion for your offspring!''
libra All Libra’s know it all. They have all the answers, but no one could give a hoot. Libra, you will always be right, but because of your insecurities you will not be noticed. You will always be seen as one of the ornaments in the glass cabinet. Good for nothing, but we keep it around anyway. 40

This week you will be in a party mood and nothing will stop you. Bring on out that party animal and devour the low spirits of everyone around you. Be careful of people who might try to stop you from strutting you old school robot moves. Keep it groovy baby.
sagittarius Be who you want to be this week. You always feel trapped because you can’t express the multiple personalities you have. The stars have advised that you bring them all out at once. Let the world see the drama queen, the depressed loner, the lunatic and the many others you posses.
capricorn Keep calm and listen to Justin Bieber. You might not like him very much, but it is in your best interest to do so. Let’s just say that once you drive yourself insane, you will loosen up and this is good for your career. After all you will ultimately become a stripper at an old age home.
aquarius Bring on the good times and forget about the past. This month you will start a new life. Embrace it and keep in mind that there are also people who are rejoicing that you have left, not because of your attitude, but because of the lice you can’t get rid of.
pisces Unlike all your mates, you are still stuck at home. Where has your free spirit gone? You need a date. This is the perfect month to find the match you have waited for so long. Finally your psychotic lover will come along to sweep you off your feet. Stay close to KFC, this is where you will find your love.
aries
Looking for love, Aries? Look no further because there is a potential mate waiting for you. Head off to KFC and call out to the one that attracts you; “It is me! I am the chosen one, ready to jump on my first impulse which is to pluck your nose hair. For this is the only way I can show my devotion of love to you.” This will get the heads turning and saying those words will surely get you a date.

THERES NOTHING TO DO
You Snooze, You Lose
Slumber parties are always a bag of fun and are a sure way to bring a group of friends closer together. But keep in mind the old saying, ‘what happens at the slumber party, stays at the slumber party’. By: Tammy Abrahams
Definitely No Zzzz… At This Joint Just because it’s a slumber party it doesn’t mean it has to be constricted to the bedroom. Bring out the sleeping bags and blankets and camp in the lounge or even in the backyard. Just remember the golden rule: No one sleeps.
With the cold winter nights upon us going out is not at the top of our priority list on the weekend. And the thought of having a warm snugly evening at home becomes much more enticing. So listen to your instincts and rather invite a couple of friends over and have a good old slumber party. It’s fun and inexpensive and should definitely be on your to do list this winter.
Also feel free to stuff your face with junk food. Trying to stay awake is no joke so the sugar rush will come in handy. And instead of ordering pizza, why not make your own with all the trimmings? And if there’s no round baking tray laying around use your mom’s square baking tray. Who needs a round pizza anyway right? For dessert, there’s nothing that beats pancakes, and ice cream. The ice cream MUST be eaten with a knife and fork. Whatever you decide to do at your slumber party just remember to have fun. You don’t have to go anywhere fancy for that, all you need is awesome people and a space to be free to just be. It’s not where you are that matters, but who you take along on your journey.
Five Quirky Ideas • Create your own movie; it can be funny, strange or dramatic. The drama queens in your group will love it. Don’t forget to film it. • Write down embarrassing questions and pull each one out of a hat. • Don’t play the classic truth or dare game. Truths or not as fun as the dares. Play the dare-game. This is the game where only dares are given. If your friend refuses to participate he/she owes everyone a personal favour. • Have a karaoke, but don’t sing in your own voice. • Give each other crazy makeovers and see who dares to post it on Facebook.
