“It is also worthy to mention thatthe world is changing. Educationmustbegeared towardsmaking learn-ers smart - to be competitive in the glo-bal market,’ said Ramasehla, addingthatScandinaviancountriesaswellasSingapore, Malaysia and Japan wereleading in this aspect.

EXCITEMENT is growing among the bud-dingyoungentrepreneursat theEPChildandYouth Care Centre who are hard at work cre-ating products to sell at the Mzansi MagicMarket Day on September 1.
Travis Marshall, programme manager ofthe centre, said he thought it was a great op-portunity for the children to get involved inthe market day as part of their “Preparationfor Adulthood” programme that is run at thecentre. This is part of the Centre’s mission toreleasewell-adjusted, productive citizens intothe community through a series of pro-grammes preparing them for life in the adultworld.
The children took a few weeks to come upwith their business plans. Seven businessplans were submitted by 26 of the childrenranging from 10 to 13 years of age. Theyformed small groups of between three andfourmembers eachandhavecomeupwithanidea of what they want make and sell.
As the children did not have the requiredstart-up costs for their small businesses,Mzansti Magic agreed to provide the childrenwith R1 500 seed money, allowing them tostart production. They were then each givena budget for their group and told that thiswould be a loan. After the market day in Sep-tember they would need to pay back the loanbut can keep their profit.
Among the products will be hanging wood-
en crosses, crucifix pendants and brooches,beautiful decorative items for the young andold, including key rings, hand mirrors, an as-sortment of handmade greeting cards, everyday wooden objects that have transformed in-to majestic creations fit for royalty, beautifuljewellery boxes and earrings aimed at younggirls and teenagers.
The children were also fortunate enough toreceive the technical expertise and guidancefrom a long-time volunteer of the centre, Nel-marie Oosthuizen, from Peace of Art CraftShop in Walmer. She gave each group practi-cal guidance on how to create, present andmarket the products.
“It has been truly amazing to see theseyoung people develop over the past fewmonths. They have taken the initiative andbeen very busy putting the finishing toucheson their products and fine tuning their mar-keting strategy. It is important to note that al-though the child care workers and staff of theEP Child and Youth Care Centre have beenencouraging and guiding the children, all thework completed is their own,” said Marshall.
Mzansi Magic Market Day takes place attheWalmerParkShoppingCentreonSeptem-ber 1. About 500 children will be participatingand there will be 120 stalls.
Stall entries close this Saturday, August 18.For information contact Michelle Brown at0 041 581 6424.

His left arm isslightly shorter than his right and hehas adapted his stroke to swim pre-dominantly with his shoulder mus-cles.

where I came fourth in the WorldChamps in Holland in 2010 so hopeful-ly I can go one better this year andgrab a medal in that race,” said Paul.
Paul is the first toadmit thathewasan unknown in Beijing and thatthings will be very different this year.“I suppose you could say that I’m amarkedmannowbut itworks theoth-er way too. I know my opposition and
their tactics and I know exactly whatI’m going to be up against in London.My body aches from all the trainingwhen my head hits the pillow at nightbut I know its going to be worth it.
