Community gathers in spirit for Africa Day
Well-known Mohlakeng pastor Buyi Zulu gave a spiritual, uplifting and motivational sermon at Mohlakeng St Paul's Anglican Church recently to commemorate Mother's Day and Africa Day activities. Pastor Buyi comes from a charismatic Christian background but was previously part of a more mainstream Anglican church that followed the ideals of the late Emeritus Archbishop Desmond Tutu, particularly his all-embracing approach, which promotes tolerance across both Christian and non-Christian faiths. Being Christian does not mean one must detach from their African identity. We must still find our sense of morality and behaviour through our shared humanity,' she said. In her address, she told women that they play an important role. 'God had a purpose when He created women. Creation could not be perfect without a woman. When women have a partnership with God, all will be good, things will happen.' She called on women in all spheres and dimensions, particularly in Mohlakeng, to go on their knees and pray for the youth, the abuse of drugs and recent criminal activities. According to Buyi, in the township, certain members of the community have been targets of robbery incidents in their households.

To the youth: We want to hear your voice!
To the youth: We want to hear your voice! In the words of the great Mahatma Gandhi, 'Be the change you want to see in the world'. The future of South Africa belongs to the youth, and their voices matter – now more than ever. ALSO READ: What advice would you give the 16-year-old you? While all teenagers and young adults are inheriting the term 'born free', signifying living a life without limitations, there are still numerous factors plaguing society. With parents, friends and family claiming to understand their struggles, it could force youngsters to silence their thoughts. Committed to empowering the next generation by listening to their voices, the Zululand Observer is launching the 'Voices of Tomorrow' campaign for individuals aged between 13 and 25. This initiative will illuminate the hopes, ideas and dreams of the next generation, and is driven by three burning questions: 1. What matters most to you? 2. What would you change if you could? 3. What kind of South Africa do you hope to live in? Your answers will help celebrate the perspectives of the country's youth while reflecting diversity and inspiring optimism. Be part of the Voices of Tomorrow campaign by emailing zulobs@ or sending a WhatsApp to 060 7842695. All messages must include your name, age, school, area, and a photo/selfie for the article.

#Letters: KwaDukuza is a town that has been left to rot
#Letters: KwaDukuza is a town that has been left to rot My annual lament and woeful tale of sorrow for my beloved Stanger continues ad nauseam, after several people asked me to raise the issue again. The last time I wrote, I was somewhat optimistic when I declared that things were improving. Alas, I now retract and expunge that statement unconditionally. Things in Stanger are getting worse – dirty, filthy, defecated, urinated – and I daresay it will continue to deteriorate as the years unfold. A very sad indictment! What I cannot comprehend is: where are the paid councillors who are supposed to be concerned about the aesthetics of our town? Has their salary made them smug and complacent – content to neglect and gloss over the disintegration of our once-pristine town? Please, walk about or drive around and see what has happened. Toss away your suit and tie, roll up your sleeves, and get down to work. I was born and raised here, so I have firsthand experience of what Stanger used to be. Today, it is broken. On the same note, what drives some filthy urchins to strew litter around our town? The stale stench of faeces and urine is overpowering and revolting as I gingerly step along the streets and pavements, trying to avoid mounds of human excrement in the morning. Over the past two weeks, on my daily walks, I have witnessed many disgusting and despicable sights that would make even the strongest person throw up. Walking has become a huge challenge – it is deeply distressing and unfortunate. I have enclosed a few images for readers to gauge the extent of the damage being done to our town. Note: This letter differs slightly from the print version, which was shortened for space constraints.
