OUR FIRST LEAGUE MATCH, Hunt vs Holy Family

On Friday 25 April 2014, we played our first league match against Holy Family College, we scored two goals but my boy's celebration was short lived when Holy Family introduced new players who scored two equalizers. The second half of the game was really tough, my boys were left with no choice but to defend in order to go away with at least one point, and just before we departed from school, Miguel, our defender sustained an injury while they were warming up on our small field so things weren't really looking good at all, but Sifiso Mzobe an under 16 captain saved the day.

Lwazi Dlamini

Sbusiso Miya a grade 9 learner proved to be the best goalkeeper, he reminded me of Kaiser Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune as he saved dangerous goals from Holy Family boys. Mr Mangiza, their coach has a very strong team especially his number 10 and number 7, they gave my boys a hard time and they have made them realize that a good training is essential.
We have also discovered a young grade 8 goalscorer, Lwazi Dlamini, he is very talented, just good training will take him to places.
This year I have been blessed with Mr Zikalala my colleague who is very supportive, the boys need someone with good knowledge of soccer   however last year 2013 was better as Nhlanhla, the captain assisted them.
I appeal to Hunt Road old boys to come back and help if you are taking a gap year, you can kill your time by coaching the guys. My blog is not for asking for donations but Hunt Road Old Boys you can please assist us with soccer balls,bandages, rubbing stuff and smaller items to keep us going, we do not have a sponsor at the moment.
Our next match will be Hunt Road vs Durban Academy. I will keep you posted and thank you for supporting my blog.

HIV and AIDS IN OUR SCHOOLS

There is another threat in our schools of HIV and AIDS. Educators support the war against HIV and AIDS through education activities and because the learners value their health and have a will to live, we do our best to help them.
New infections on teenagers seem to be on the decline according to statistics. We encourage our learners to abstain from sex until they are mature and financially independent, I know most organisations put an emphasis on the use of condoms, I am not against that idea but they should also be encouraged to make the right choices.
In Kwa- Zulu Natal leaders such as Isilo sama Zulu, King Goodwill Zwelithini play a very important role in encouraging teenagers to abstain from sex. Every year there is Umkhosi Womhlaga in the royal kraal in which teenagers meet with older ladies who work hard to pass on good values to young girls in schools. I really respect " Ungangezwe Lakhe" for the role he is playing.
LOVE LIFE also works with our school to educate our learners about HIV and AIDS although  HIV and sex education exist in school as part of the wider Life Orientation Curriculum it is hindered due to lack of training of teachers and unwillingness of educators and schools to provide this education as some parents feel their children are still young.
