6 EDITOR S NOTE There s an old, rueful saying: Youth is wasted on the young meaning that the wisdom of age comes when we no longer have the strength, resilience and time to act on it. Yet that s precisely what youth is for: a time for learning, making mistakes, exploring, testing ideologies and slowly amassing the moral awareness on which to base the rest of one s life. As we begin Youth Month in SA, it s gratifying to see that our own young people are by no means wasting their vigour on hollow pursuits: they ve found their voice, they re celebrating their African roots and they re flexing their political muscles. Campaigns like #FeesMustFall and the strident, young protesters demanding change in our government are evidence that idealism and enterprise are as strong in our children as they were in us. The young women interviewed in Beautiful & Powerful at any Age (p66) point out that while the Born Free generation have been spared the tyranny and injustice of apartheid, they face many problems of their own. Their grandparents and parents may envy them the freedoms they enjoy, but with those freedoms come a whole, new slew of challenges and responsibilities. Even more heartening is the realisation that SA s youngsters have fully as much compassion as conviction. As social activist Nozimanga Mlalazi remarks in Teens in Vogue (p51): We aren t content with apathetically accepting societal wrongs, which is why we re seeing so many young people dedicated to upliftment. She and many hundreds of thousands like her are heartening evidence that we re handing the baton to a generation who are admirably equipped to carry it. Self-portraitist Tony Gum, our cover feature (Artista, p24), is reinforcing that conviction. With her innovative art form, she s not only pushing creative boundaries, but challenging long-entrenched perceptions of young African women s identity in both the cultural and commercial spheres. She s being globally acclaimed as a bold, new spirit in the realm of converging art mediums. Another inclusion celebrating our youth in this issue is our annual Good Schools Report (p124), brought to you in association with Old Mutual, which explores the ways educational models need to change in SA and lists leading public and private schools around the country. We re excited to make this popular resource digital this year and we ll be telling you more about that in our next issue. We re also excited about the upcoming launch of columnist Timothy Maurice Webster s book, Personal Branding Intelligence. See p18 for more about it and the chance to win a copy. We salute all our continent s young people, who are showing us that the future s in good hands. Ndalo Media is proud to be an official partner of UNICEF Unite for Children This month INSPIRATIONAL WORDS Timothy Maurice Webster, Life Purpose, p18 When working in an environment like this, it s really important to create a network of support for yourself. Having a senior sponsor is critical because when things get really tough, you need to know that someone s backing you from the top. We don t survive on islands. Yolanda Miya, Powerhouse, p38 Nomthandazo Cebekhulu, Your Thoughts, p22 Just because black people have a higher SPF, that doesn t mean we re immune to skin cancer. Going forward, your ability to create communities of friends, followers and viewers who can identify with you will be paramount. Now, more than ever, I m aware of the power that lies within me to not only overcome hardships, but actually flourish in the face of disaster.

I ve always admired Nomzamo Mbatha s poise, inner and outer beauty and humility throughout her success. From an early age, I wanted to be a model and work my way up through the different facets of the career. That ambition came to a halt when I got the opportunity to participate in a learnership programme in the financial industry, which was and is still close to my heart. After reading Mbatha s story, I realised that I can do anything I put my mind to. Her story inspired me to finish my studies, obtain my degree and pursue the path I ve wanted to follow ever since I was a little girl. She awakened something that had been dormant inside me for several years and reminded me that God wouldn t put something in my heart if He didn t have a way of making it come to pass. She s also shown me that it s OK to be ambitious, set goals and work hard to achieve them, as long as you re realistic and remain true to yourself. Thank you, DESTINY, for the inspirational read. Katleho Moloi, via We value your feedback, Katleho and we agree that Nomzamo s story is inspiring. All the best on your career path! Khanyi WRITE IN & WIN!
