Memory a weapon

A series of events have been lined up across the Waterberg to commemorate Youth Day on Sunday 16 June.

Several hundred youths belonging to the Roman Catholic Church from various parts of Limpopo are expected to converge on the place of worship in the township in Bela-Bela on the day.

A loose alliance of youth-interest groupings in Mookgophong have closed ranks to facilitate a day of fun in Mookgophong.

The event will kick off on Saturday 15 June with a 5 km fun run/walk, culminating in street soccer and indigenous games.

The events are spearheaded by the African Methodist Episcopal church, Fountain of Praise Tabernacle, in collaboration with Youth Development and the Dr Mathosa Foundation.

In the village of Katjibane, Modimolle athlete, the 13-times Comrades Marathon participant, Lucas Seleka, will facilitate a Youth Day Fun Run on Saturday 15 June.

Seleka said because of the inaugural nature of the event, the shorter 5 km fun run and walk will be on offer.

The main objective, he said, was to nudge the youth of Katjibane into a journey of self-discovery.

On the arts and culture circuit, deejays from Metro FM have been lined up for the official launch of Holalapho Pub ‘n Grill in the township in Bela-Bela.

Interestingly, the new venue is situated a stone’s throw from both Club Paradise and Chisanyama entertainment venue.

Popular prime-time The Drive Show host on Metro FM, Mo Flava (real name Moeti Tsiki), and Urban Beat host, T-Deep (Tebogo Sibeko), are billed to set the new venue alight.

Also in Bela-Bela, the Mamelodi Sundowns Football Club supporters from various centres are to converge in Bela-Bela for the official opening of the Mashaba family house on Youth Day.

The house was built and donated by the club’s supporters, working in tandem with the Bela-Bela United Men’s Guild.

In recent days The BEAT also reported that the community in Modimolle was to converge on the Mphafudi residence for an event aimed at commemorating Youth Day.
