The example
of Teboho Masakala
It
is always painful to see literacy and literature going to the dogs amidst the
youngsters of today. Modern technology worsens this.
Our
youth now mistakenly think that social networking with its largely inane and
irresponsible messages shows they are literate and modern. But this is not so. They
are going backwards.
In
the good old days the young ones studied, read a lot. They absorbed their own legacy,
and learnt a lot via books and libraries, even during
apartheid. Now our young ones can hardly read properly, not to talk of
appreciating literature! Youngsters hardly read any books again these days – a disaster for the nation.
apartheid. Now our young ones can hardly read properly, not to talk of
appreciating literature! Youngsters hardly read any books again these days – a disaster for the nation.
That
is why a very young man like Teboho Masakala deserves all praise. He is still
in his early 20s, but he has already published three books! What a shining
example to the youth!
Never
mind the critics, or quality - and even the greatest of writers
and books are ruthlessly criticised worldwide anyway - the fact is
Ntate Masakala is doing very well, and we should all appreciate him.

An
exemplary youth during Youth Month. That’s Masakala. His books
include – Mind, pen, papers, idea, Through it all, and The fall of Marcus Desmond

Mangaung romp to victory
By Mahlomola Moshe
Mangaung
played an excellent, exhilarating game when they met with Warriors over the
weekend in a match which was played at Masenkeng stadium in Bloemfontein. The
first match of the day was between Warriors second side and Mangaung second
side which Mangaung won with 18-5.
The big
match of the day was between the first team of Warriors and Mangaung first
team, where the match was surrounded by throbbing drama. From the beginning of the
game Mangaung showed no regard to the Warriors which looked hapless and helpless
inside the pitch.
Mangaung was
the first team to open scoring after a long struggle to score. On the other
hand the Warriors which was fighting hard to make sure that the game was
balanced was confronted with a huge task of penetrating the solid line of
Mangaung which left no stone unturned to prevent them from scoring.
For Mangaung
the game was more or less in the bag with points collected in order for them to
improve their position on the league. Mangaung came again and scored, even
though they failed to convert a goal, but they pocketed 10 goals in the first
half of a match.
The second
half was covered with clouds, as Warriors could not understand what was
happening inside the pitch. The Warriors which looked confused and frustrated
could not match Mangaung which was all over the pitch and in control of the match.
Mangaung romped home in decisive manner, winning the game with 50 goals while
Warriors failed to notch even one goal!
