SG MAFAESA

SECONDARY SCHOOL

Mafaesa Rocks! It’s a fact.

Our school is a source of wis-

dom and inspiration. Both our

educators and learners are tal-

ented and skilled in many are-

as especially in per-

forming arts, that is why we

say, Mafaesa has got Talent.

We spice Arts and Culture and

Dramatic Arts learning areas

in a more practical and inspir-

ing way.

‘Mafaesa Has Got Talent’ is a

show where learners

show their talent in perform-

ing arts. The audience will be

treated with solo artists and

groups will clash on stage with

poetry , dance, singing, instru-

mentals and comedy from

Round One winners..

Who knows? A future , Brenda

Fassie, Luck Dube, Miriam

Makeba and many of our gone

musicians will be reborn from

here. What’s your talent ? Is it

acting, singing, dancing, poetry

etc ? Bring it on!

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK:

THE WILL TO EXCEL Our attitude will determine the extent to which we shall achieve excellence. Those who persistently forge ahead in the

interest of doing better refuse, against all odds, to allow anything to overshadow progress

being made.

They continuously maintain the momentum and will not let any developments (positive or

negative) derail them from the cause of eminently good quality.

Although conditions may not always be favourable (personally and/ or situationally), they

are inclined to maintain a course of being efficacious, Jutting with confidence on a path to

shape their future and that of the institution.

The major thrust to the realisation of potential for greatness is to put an agreeable measure of

success at the center of attaining excellence. At the core of our pursuit is the realisation that

our values are a grand launch pad towards success. According to our international icon,

Nelson Mandela "values commit us to a continued walk". Keep on keeping on.

OUR SCHOOL HISTORY

Being in Matric is an exciting passage of time

with motivating challenges. Everyday we

meet academic challenges. We are happy to

say that all the obstacles and problems that we

meet always have a solution.

We encourage all matriculants to work hard

and not drop the calabash of wisdom which

we have been drinking from since we began

this academic journey. We are very proud and

lucky to have a school like SG Mafaesa with

all the wonderful and supportive educators.

Our educators sacrifice their extra time and

give us extra morning, afternoon and weekend

lessons so that we have a bright future.

SGB NEWS: S.G. MAFAESA THE BRAND

Institutions that thrive seek a balanced approach to achieving excellence. They are aware of the intricate aspects

(regardless of how miniscule they may be) that form a critical component for achieving excellence. To that end, they

brand themselves accordingly.

The SGB is proud to announce the initiation of project and programmes ambassadors within the school. All SGB and

management programmes will have ambassadors who will market these programmes and amass the necessary

support. The SGB is pleased pleased to announce the zero tolerance ambassadors who will assist the RCL, teachers

and school management with identifying and eliminating untoward conduct (violation of the code of conduct)

around the school. These ambassadors will be our discipline brand.

We further announce the intent to launch branding material that will enable us to achieve 'nil nici optimum' (nothing

but the best). Once we have the buy in from all stakeholders, the criteria for project/ programme ambassadors will be

unvailed. We look forward to a grand S.G. Mafaesa face lift. Join us in branding our school by being the brand with-

in. From The SGB’s Desk

dress rehearsals.

SG DRAMA CLUB

we are calling all performing art-

ists to come and enjoy poetry, mu-

sic singing, dance and drama with

us.

We rehearse Mondays, Tuesdays,

Wednesdays and Thursday from

14h30- 15h30.Venue: D6

(Mr Nkomo’s classroom).

This term we will stage our pro-

duction entitled ‘ My Africa’. It’s

not to be missed.

In visual arts we will do tie and

dye and our own stage backdrop

which we will use during our

show. (My Africa).

What I like about our drama

club is that there is no grade 8, 9

or 10. We are all equal artists on

stage and we work as a family.

Performing arts is all about crea-

tively putting your thoughts into

practice on stage. We are cur-

rently preparing for Segarona

Dance Competitions and the

Gauteng Carrnival in Soweto

next month.

By Gavaza Mathye

We represent God’s kingdom and nothing is

special about us. Jesus Christ commanded us

to preach to the people and testify that he is the

one whom God appointed as judge of the liv-

ing and the dead. Come and join us everyday

during lunch times.

Troubles by Nleluheni Livhali 9D

Friends become enemies.

Men become women

Pain stings like death

It tears happiness apart

Troubles never end.

The sorrow

The Sadness

The disgrace

The disagreements

The double pain

Trees fall for no reason

Dogs keep on barking.

Love by Annickie Malatji 8B

What is love?

Its unknown

Yet we cant forget it.

Its greater than all

And too small for them all.

It flows beautifully like a river

And brings a smile to the sad world

Love heals broken hearts.

Love has no room

for breaking promises.

Love forgives and forgets.

Love is blind but sees the heart.

June 16 by Tiny Ngobeni 8D

We have entered a night

To tell our tale.

We listen to words wisdom.

Children scream and shout

For equality in education

Blood flows in the streets of Soweto

The wounds are open

Tears flow

The inner silence speaks

The truth must be spoken

Secrets must be revealed.

Amandla, is the slogan.
