Time to utilize what we have.

Today I was chilling with the NAETO World mag team and we had a conversation that really unsettled me. A conversation about my township Soweto. Well Soweto,s youth I fear were we are headed. Our youth has gotten used to experting thing done and given for us that when they are here we know not what to do with them.

The biggest township in the world has a lot of facilities but they are not used. Firstly I will talk about swimming facilities, how many swimming pools do we have around Soweto? If you don't know well I'll let you know , there are 8 swimming facilities in soweto. And with that stated how many swimming teams do we have in Soweto? Then we go to the eco parks facilities built all around Soweto. How many are used for their correct purpose? Then there is the Soweto cricket oval. This facility is here for us to use but do we have a cricket league? Or are we still considering it "a white sport" ?

I am only naming a few facilities that are here but are not used to shape our community and the future our kids. We are letting good facilities rot and go beyond repair because we are complaining about not enough funds. But then again who will fund a development project that is non existent. We need to do a lot for ourselves before we look at other people . My main concern here is that we have gotten used to expert things done for us that we do not do anything for ourselves.

I say it us time to start doing the best we can do for ourselves before we can look outside. A better tomorrow will not come for a foreign land but from within us. Its time to support each other and develop each other .

For real though!!!

Mall of africa

Mall of Africa opens on 28 April

Developed on a scale beyond anything the country has known by leading South African property developer and investor Atterbury, the iconic new Mall of Africa is set to open in less than a month, on 28 April 2016.

Southern Africa’s largest single-phase shopping centre development to date, the R5-billion Mall of Africa, is a 130,000sqm super-regional mall that sets a new benchmark for shopping centres on the continent.

Commenting on the Mall of Africa development, Louis van der Watt, CEO of Atterbury says: “In line with the Atterbury vision to create working, shopping and entertainment spaces for everyone to live to their full potential, the development of this breath-taking shopping and leisure destination introduces an unmissable, unmatched retail experience. Mall of Africa’s exceptional scale, design, location and retail mix places it at the forefront of development.”

Van der Watt adds: “The development has enhanced the diversity of the retail sector in South Africa, changed Gauteng’s skyline and stimulated the economy.”
Mall of Africa is co-owned by two leading South African property companies. JSE-listed real estate capital growth fund Attacq Limited holds the commercial development rights to Waterfall and owns 80% of the Mall of Africa. Atterbury Property Developments owns 20% of Mall of Africa and is responsible for the Mall of Africa development project, on behalf of Attacq.

At 130,000sqm, it is the largest single-phase shopping mall development in South Africa. Mall of Africa will feature over 300 retailers, restaurants, entertainment and services, all within a single exceptional development. It also has all amenities that any shopper may need. Atterbury Asset Managers is responsible for Mall of Africa’s asset management for its co-owners.

Atterbury began the construction of Mall of Africa nearly three-and-a-half years ago, on 28 October 2012.

Youth...

Where have they gone, what really went wrong...

I wake today each day with no job,tax man or any other parental responsibilty.Striving each day to be better than the day that past and to foresee dreams so big for what tomorrow might be, but no I woke up reeking like yesterday with the same 4  friends I have been with for 4 days now. 

Isolated as I want a new feeling...my bank balance is in a negative credit with the merchant. Depressed and alone my high has gone and reality says another... I need a fix. A quick plan of negative conversation as we all done and dusted we "google"( and not Microsoft software) the plan is full. Scared to say no because we all need a solution... I sacrifice my moms phone like a war hero saying "I had enough" to my highness friends. I'm in with the guys.. We smoke... We high and for the next 2 hours we sorted... Shared and despair needless to think to what I have done moms wireless and I'm highness on sorrow of fallen tears. I find myself out of stock and broke as Zimbabwe it's the next soldier to lay down the gun and man up. Peer pressure is mounting, I get the gun turned on me to provide this want, need,habit-soldier day dream..."do what  you did to prove you are who you say you are.

I have not been home day 3... Walk in moms crazy as hell...

I argue my way thru moms is mad as hell. I get angry blame my dad for not being there,mom is selfish has dad's money I want my piece of the cut. I decide to go and take some of dad's tool as collateral. Let's get high lotto is in we back at it. And so it goes on till I have taken my heart out and smoked myself to a narrative shell of somebody I used to know. 

Mom made a case I'm behind bars begging no friends,strangers that I'm confined to... 8 months  of petty crime to my name.

These are the struggle a lot of parents go thru on a daily basis. Some fortunate others no so lucky... Youths where have you gone... Peer pressure, uneducated on how to do simple math of life,unemployed and seeking attention to fit in where you can get in attitude is the most crippling thing to our youth. Lossing touch of being real has left our kids out of control. Our social circles of today compared to yester year will remain a dream to the youth of today. They live a life faced with dilemmas that they can't solve.We need to take back what is ours... Parents take back you children,brothers be your brothers keeper, sisters your prince needs his princess sister... Communities take back where you live... Our kids the youth of today are spiral so fast and out of control that we can't keep up... Stop that train you have the power to believe in you, family and communities... 

Till next time..
