A new breed and a light to the youth in the southern Johannesburg region is about to dawn in a form of a publication. Frying Pan Media House in conjunction with the Gauteng Department of Education will publish a magazine which will be distributed to ninety-eight schools in the District 11.
The magazine which is a first of its kind will cover sports, arts and culture and is armed with youth mainly from Orange Farm and surrounding areas.
Bafana Luwenda, the coordinator said “during our days in schools sport was a priority irrespective of whether you are active or not, nowadays our youth are misled and seek solace in barbaric activities. It is this mentality that made us act; our vision is to make sure that we keep learners in the playground instead of the streets. It won’t be easy though but through working with the community, schools and department we are certain positive results will be achieved”
Youth in Sports Magazine is expected to be launch on Friday the 27th January 2012 at a venue that is still to be confirmed and will be available from schools on the 30th January 2012.
“Prior to Christmas weekend we conducted interviews as we source staff, it is disheartening that our youth lack confidence and most importantly they can’t express themselves to the core. Overall it was an eye-opener for our young team as they learned from the experience which is why some must be given credit in a sense that they were prepared and knew their story”, said Oupa Leboko.
