The week-long camp that targeted Grade 10 learners and learners from special schools and aimed to address the holistic needs and challenges of young people has been completed. Some of the aspects discussed at the camp that was held at Warthog Adventure Camping Site in Brits were economic participation, educational skills development, character building, leadership skills, social cohesion, nation building, community service, sport and recreation activities and motivation.
The camp was organised by the North West Department of Arts, Culture, Sport and Recreation. The Head of Department, Itumeleng Mogorosi emphasised the importance of the participants to be fully committed to what they were taught and imparting lessons learned with communities they come from.
“We encouraged participants to use knowledge from Love Life stewards, lessons from Provincial Recreation (PRO-REC) facilitators, experience from NYDA outreach programme, and career guidance to emancipate themselves for their future.
“With this camp, we want you to be cognisant of your environment. Be mindful of challenges facing our society such as unemployment, substance abuse and Gender-Based Violence (GBV). We want you to be mindful of life’s challenges and be determined to overcome them,” he said.
Mogorosi further said the participants should be inspired with a sense of patriotism and create the future they want. He added that, the content of the youth camp included leadership, social cohesion, entrepreneurship, nation building and community outreach programme.
“The department took 30 learners from different schools in each district. These learners were divided into six different classes. We provided them with attire for the duration of their stay in the camp.
“The move sought to ensure that all participants had the same look and that there is no differentiation between the haves and the have-nots, based on social background and educational performance level,” said Mogorosi.
Meanwhile, one of the participants, Bokamoso Ncele (16) from Lichtenburg, praised the camp, saying she would encourage other young learners to compete in the Olympiads taking place in different schools, which have been identified by the North West Department of Education, where camp participants are then identified.
“The camp was very interesting and I enjoyed every single day of it. From classrooms to physical activities, which taught us so much about our country and our capabilities working together.
“I learned about what it takes to be a leader and different opportunities we have as youth. I was even able to come out of my shell and today I was able to be the 2023 youth camp closing ceremony’s Programme Director,” she said.

The South African Football Association (SAFA) has described the reports that the former CEO, Tebogo Motlanthe is returning to the association next month as misleading and false. This comes after the reports by the Sunday newspaper.
SAFA president, Dr Danny Jordaan said the report is a complete fabrication, malicious, and devoid of any truth. Jordaan further said SAFA wishes to dismiss it with the contempt it deserves.
“There was never a conversation with Tebogo to come back to SAFA as CEO and this report boggles the mind. We had a successful SAFA NEC meeting on 9 December 2023 and at no point did this come up. The SAFA NEC appoints CEOs, and there was never such a conversation during the meeting.
“Lydia Monyepao is the SAFA CEO and we are not in the market for a new CEO. This is gossip and we wish to clarify that there is no truth in the report. There is no vacancy for a CEO at SAFA because we have a CEO,” he said.
The SAFA President and the NEC fully support CEO Monyepao and will not be deterred by attempts to destabilize her and the Association.
Meanwhile, Monyepao shared the same sentiments. She said these were just rumours.
“I have got a good working relationship with Jordaan and the NEC. In fact, I will be traveling with the SAFA president to Saudi Arabia to attend the FIFA Club World Cup and the World Football Summit in Jeddah on 21 and 22 December as invited by FIFA President, Gianni Infantino.
“Our focus right now is on our football being more globally competitive. We want to make it clear that, we will not be distracted by talk of elections and we are focused on the development of women’s football, Bafana Bafana’s preparations for the Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire in January, and Banyana Banyana’s pursuit of qualification for the 2024 Olympic Games,” said Monyepao.
North West MEC for Health, Madoda Sambatha said he will address challenges raised by community members over the shortage of medicine at the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District. Sambatha said earlier during the week, members of the public complained that some of the health facilities in the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District had run out of essential medicines.
He further said since the intervention of Section 100 (1)(b), the department has implemented a five-pillar intervention plan for medicine availability, which was preceded by an in-depth diagnostic assessment. Sambatha added that the focus of the plan has been on strengthening pharmaceutical operations at the district level as well as the capacitation of the provincial office.
“The intervention was followed by significant improvement in medicine availability with the Mmabatho Medical stores having resolved all previous bottlenecks. We assure the public of a remedial plan.
“I have assigned a team led by the Deputy Director-General (DDG) for Hospitals and Clinical Support Services and the acting District Chief Director to investigate the complaints of shortage. They will also prepare a report of medicine availability and more specific to chronic medication for the entire district,” he said.
Sambatha said they will conduct visits to the facilities of Matlosana in the coming week before Wednesday. He said they will also receive a detailed report from managers on Sunday.
“The department remains committed to rendering quality care by improving the availability of medicines at all levels of the services platform,” said Sambatha.
The South African U15 Boys National Team will travel to Rabat, Morocco on Sunday, 10 December 2023, where they will partake in their first-ever international friendly matches. The newly formed U15 National Team has been in camp for the past week, where they were taken through their paces by Head Coach, Vela Khumalo, assisted by Thabo Mngomeni and Shaibu Walters.
Khumalo said the 21-man squad will play against Cote d’Ivoire U15 on 12 December 2023 and face tournament host, Morocco on 17 December 2023.
“We have had a great week of training, and we are looking forward to this ground-breaking initiative by the FIFA Talent Development Scheme (TDS). We will be going to Morocco to allow the players to experience international football.
“We want to use this tournament as an eye-opening mission for the boys. We need them to realize what it takes to make a great team. We will give all of them game time, but also implement our playing philosophy,” he said.
