Focus on YOUR goal



Focus on YOUR goal- YOUR credential

Most of us know or most probably have heard about life of being a student; it might look hectic to some people and fun to others, but it is all up to an individual how you want to make your student life be. But the main point here is to know your goal, focus on it and the rest that comes with it is experience. When it comes to education, we get to go through different institutions in order to get our credentials, and that is where obstacles come up and we have to overcome them. There are issues which can shift your focus; varsity fever, relationships, peer pressure, workload just to name a few, and we might find it challenging when it comes to dealing with some of those issues. That is why it is really important to get your priorities straight, know what you want and focus on what you there for, which is your degree, diploma or certificate. We also turn to lose courage, that’s why you need to surround yourself with positive minded people, who will motivate you. Get inspiration in all matters that may affect you in life, something that will drive you to work hard towards your success, your dream, your goal. When it comes to goal setting, it is all about you and what you aiming at, so it is all up to you whether you work towards achieving that goal, or give up. Giving up is a choice and failing is a lesson, and I believe no one wants to be a victim of failure or to fill up the statistics of failure. I encourage you to choose the best F, Focus and not the rival F, Failure. You are better than what you think you are; it is all a matter of effort, dedication, courage and hard work.

Words of wisdom

 Our thoughts create our reality>>>where we put our FOCUS is the direction we tend to go.

 Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes on the target.

Introducing Thando Dlamini

 
 
 


Introducing Thando Dlamini
 
Thando Dlamini was born 18 February 1986 in Soweto Meadowlands Zone 7 and raised In Vosloorus. As half brother of legendary kwaito star Zola, his obvious chosen vocation was always the music business - he started his music career by participating in school choirs and in 1995 he achieved his first success when he won a gold certificate in choral verse at a school competition.  Little did he know that this would take him onto bigger awards and recognition for his musical talent.
 
In 2007 & 2008 his first true big-break came in the form of recognition of his potential to be a future Kwaito and Hip-Hop star when he won the COCA-COLA STAR AMBITION competition for 2 years running - he then followed this up by scooping the 2009 NIK-NAKS BEST SA RAPPER ON, as broadcast on SA’s hit TV show SELIMATHUNZI.He than performed alongside big Icons in the music Industry, Nhlanhla Ngciza, Mzekezeke, Zola, Hugh Masekela etc.
 
2012 sees the release of Thando’s official debut recordings in the form of his first singles ‘ONE FAMILY’ and ‘Straight Talk Breaks - the initial success of these tracks at radio brought him to the attention of Johannesburg’s innovative and edgy label, Ghetto Ruff with whom he signed a lucrative deal, which sees him teaming up with stable-mates Gumshev, Malik, DJ Nkoh and SA biggest Urban Pop act, Jozi.
 
This singer-songwriter, composer and performer is determined to leave his mark on the SA Music Industry in 2012.  Time will tell, but from initial signs, SA might have another true kwaito star and youth ambassador.  Watch this space.

S.A Fashion Icons


Bee-U-TeeFully Styled Fashion Icons

 

 

The South African Fashion Scene is filled with many trend-setters, all of which have their own unique styles. These style icons influence SA fashion in many ways, whether it’s their age, social status or their extra ordinary taste, we can surely conclude that their efforts have not gone unnoticed. Sit back and join us, as we take a look at some of the most valued style icons in the South African fashion scene.

·         Bonang Matheba:
This recently turned 25 year old radio DJ, TV presenter, voice-over artist, MC, bag designer and so much more, is one icon making her mark in the fashion scene. Her style is impeccable. The way she is able to turn heads wherever she goes is one of the reasons she made this list. Typically known as “The Queen of Style”, Your Girl B! Never seems to disappoint. Her impressive eye for fashion is also the reason why she has won countless numbers of Style awards. It is impossible to define her and her style so easily. Out of this world beauty and all-out fashionista, Bonang never stops shinning




·         Noni Gasa:
How can we not mention the ever-so stylish, Miss Noni Gasa. Currently a consultant at FashionFwd Productions and a Lecturer at the London International School of Fashion, this lovely beauty is an inspiration to all aspiring fashionistas out there. She has been the Face of Africa, had a clothing line with Legit called “Noni” and won a number of style awards. It is best to place her on top of the fashion ladder. This fashion goddess always does her best to look good for any occasion. A true fashion icon that inspires even the best of the best, as Bonang Matheba even looks up to her. That is what defines her as a Fashion Icon to be taken note of 
 
 
·         Siyabonga Ngwekazi:
Another multi-talented youngster, Scoop’s fashion style is rather different than usual but very creative nonetheless. This radio DJ, TV presenter, MC and Fashion designer has and still is putting his name out there as a fashion head that needs to be on the look-out for. He got his clothing label, Piece by PAP, off the ground in an epic launch. He is taking men’s clothing to a whole new extreme and that is why we feel his style deserves recognition. He is definitely a trend-setter, who is not afraid to try new styles and put himself out there. He is certainly influencing SA fashion, one colourful bowtie at a time.
 
 
·         Gert Johan Cotezee:
From farm-boy to fashionista, Gert is one young multi-talented designer that is set on making his name a household one worldwide. He formed Diamond Face Couture with Uyanda Mbuli, but later branched out on his own to start his fashion label, Gert Johan Coetzee (GJC). He has worked with a number of well-known celebrities, the most common and the face of his fashion label is the bubbly Bonang Matheba. A moment to cherish came when Kourtney Kardashion, of the Kardashions, wore a dress designed by him. He also had arranged to have one of his dresses sneaked in to Kylie Monogue’s dressing room whike performing in SA, as a gift from him. He’s designs are simply elegant, well-thought out and a true reflection of his marvellous talent. Gert and his signature hairstyle are taking the fashion world by storm, hopefully everybody’s ready for him.

 
 
 
·         David Tlale:
Since his catwalk debut in 2003, David Tlale’s fashion label has been a household name country wide. He has been voted the most stylish person at the Annual South African Style Awards, voted Mzansi’s Star Fashion Designer at the Mzansi Star Awards, nominated at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Awards amongst many other awards. He has also launched his Green collection for voluptuous woman, something that is not generally done by designers. He has done some outrageous fashion shows, which are regarded as some of the best on the continent. It is without doubt that his brand has developed into one that is on par with international fashion. He has definitely made his mark, but it is never the end for such a magnificently talented fashion designer. He’s got too many acclamations under his belt to not carry on working as he does.
