@SamsungSA Continues Support For Female Learners #CSR #Tembisa

Hi Friends,

Samsung South Africa will reaffirm their belief in the power of education by continuing their support for Phomolong Secondary High School. The school, based in Tembisa, Gauteng will once again become the focus of Samsung’s attention during a handover ceremony at the school on 17 October 2018. During this event, Sung Yoon, President & CEO of Samsung Africa, will hand over 55 tablets, a Samsung Smart Board as well as sanitary towels. The occasion will also be attended by founder and CEO of Imbumba Foundation, Richard Mabaso and actor, Clement Maosasa.

“When we empower our female learners we inspire change that impacts families, communities and the country as a whole. Through technology, we can enhance their capacity to learn and spark the imagination of our future leaders and innovators,” says Sung Yoon.

The aim of the handover is two-fold. Firstly, to encourage learners to stay in school by supplying them with sanitary towels Sadly, a lack of access to these necessary hygiene products can impact attendance. Secondly, the 55 tablets and Smart Board are aimed at empowering teachers to improve learning techniques. Samsung has already invested in the school in the past with a solar powered classroom as well as a host of e-learning devices and equipment.

The support is aligned with Samsung’s overall vision for encouraging female learners in Africa. Another successful example of using technology to empower young women is Samsung’s Engineering Academies. Enthusiastic learners armed with a matric certificate, with mathematics and science on higher grade, have been able to take that all-important step into the world of technology. Students, who have come from the same backgrounds as those in Tembisa, are taken through a technical training course followed by a month of in-service training. After gaining the knowledge they need, they are can walk proudly out of the academy, better equipped to reach their greatest goals. Additionally, the students have the opportunity to work for Samsung.

“Samsung is committed to creating learning environments that reflect the world we live in. We believe Africa can lead the world with ground-breaking technologies and visionary thinking. Schools like Phomolong are filled with minds that have the potential to lead the technological revolution,” says Yoon.

IT’S UP, UP AND AWAY WITH THE NEW TREK POWERFLY! @TrekBikesZA

Hi Friends,

Trek Bikes SA is pleased to announce the launch of a completely new edition of their electric mountain bike line-up, Powerfly. With e-bikes gaining phenomenal popularity over recent years, Trek believes that offering a mountain bike with an electric assist system will encourage those who are less keen on cycling, to get more active; to get ‘out there’ more often for the love of the ride.

RIB: a Powerfly exclusive
The all-new Powerfly e-MTB saw Trek designers addressing some of the biggest pain points of e-bike integrated batteries. Exclusive to Trek’s Powerfly is the new Removable Integrated Battery (RIB) which fully incorporates the Bosch 500Wh PowerTube battery into the downtube. This facilitates easy access to remove or install the battery thanks to a smarter interface, one-piece battery and cover, and built-in handle. The battery is positioned away from the areas of the bike that are often subjected to dirt, mud, and water that naturally accompany the best of outrides. No tools are needed for battery removal.

Major spec upgrades

Major spec upgrades throughout the line, include more robust forks, more powerful 4-piston brakes and tougher tyres. All Powerfly models are powered by rugged Bosch Performance CX motors optimized for off-road use. With Trek’s proven mountain bike frame technology and the industry’s best product protection, riders can hit the trail with complete confidence in the bike and the brand.

Three Powerfly families
With the all-new Powerfly, e-MTB enthusiasts are spoilt for choice. Choose from Hardtail, Full Suspension (130 mm) and Long Travel (150 mm) families. New OCLV Mountain Carbon models in the Long Travel line enhance the bike’s integration and aesthetics while reducing weight and improving ride quality.

A new Powerfly Sports hardtail model comes fully accessorized with fenders, rack, kickstand, and lights for riders who depend on their ride to be ready for any weather, any terrain, any time. Women’s models in both the full suspension and hardtail line-up offer women’s touchpoints for a better fit and a different aesthetic with alternate color options.

Ride it to believe it

The new Powerfly rides like a mountain bike because it is one. It has the same frame and suspension tech we've refined in our decades-long MTB heritage. But it pushes the boundaries, helping you go the distance on the trails of your dreams. And it’s built for the long haul, thanks to that 500Wh Bosch battery … the longest-range available from Bosch. Test-ride a Powerfly today.

Hi Guys, 

The wait is finally over! Monopoly Mzansi, South Africa’s very own Monopoly board game, with 22 proudly South African locations, has launched in the local market. The popular board game, which showcases local attractions and city highlights, was officially revealed by Hasbro, one of the world’s largest toy, game and entertainment experience companies, at Nelson Mandela Square, Sandton, a key location on the local board.

Monopoly, which has celebrated its 81st brand birthday has been enjoyed by over a billion people worldwide and now South Africans will have the opportunity to ‘’own’’ their piece of this beautiful country. Ever fancied purchasing Kruger Park or Kimberly’s Big Hole or daydreamed of building a hotel on Cape Town’s Boulders Beach? Monopoly Mzansi could make these dreams come true just make sure you have enough Mzansi moolah in the bank, and a handy ‘get out of jail free card’ in your stash, especially when you land on a friend’s property and the rent is due.

Earlier this year, South Africans were encouraged to vote to get their favourite South African location, street attraction or destination on board to be part of Monopoly history. Over the past few years numerous regional country versions of Monopoly have been produced and to date the game is licensed in 103 countries, with Monopoly Mzansi being the latest addition.

The special localised Mzansi edition features 22 landmarks and 4 transport stations with the newest addition being the Sandton Gautrain station. V&A Waterfront and Table Mountain scooped the most expensive spots followed by Boulders Beach, Chapman’s Peak Drive and Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden.

Additional beautiful nature landmarks highlighted on the Monopoly Mzansi board include The Cradle of Humankind and St. Francis Bay with Durban Beach front (The Golden Mile), Florida Road and uShaka Marine World vying for the most affordable locations on the board.

“South Africans are known for their ‘gees’ and pride in their country. Which is why we are extremely excited to present the final locations that made it on board as they truly represent South Africa’s rich cultural diversity and natural beauty. Some locations are old favourites, The Kruger Park, Gold Reef City and the Union Buildings, with the addition of a few new trendy spots such as Nelson Mandela Square, Maboneng, 4th Avenue Parkhurst and The Oyster Box Hotel. There is also a strong link to Madiba’s legacy with the inclusion of Vilakazi Street and Robben Island,” says Siphiwe Thabethe, country marketing manager for Hasbro South Africa.

‘’Monopoly Mzansi is a fantastic tourism product and an ideal keepsake as it proudly showcasing the essence of South Africa and a fair representation of all that South Africa has to offer to visitors across regions.’’

World Can Be Saved With Collaborative Efforts @TsogoSun @MonteCasinoZA #BirdGardens

Hi Guys,

Sometimes something happens around your world which makes you believe in humanity that it can really bring about the necessary change in saving the true human nature and the world we live in. Community member Flora Ndadza and her family, of Cambell just outside of Musina, were instrumental in saving the life of a female ground-hornbill caught in a snare. They managed to free her and knowing she was an important bird they kept her in a cage and tried to feed her mice and grasshoppers they had caught. 

She was however too stressed and badly wounded to eat but was spotted by a local farmer who had come to buy pigs. He got in touch with the Mabula Ground Hornbill Project who have been working to protect the species in the Limpopo River Valley since 2000. They, together with Leon de Jager, head of the Limpopo provincial conservation agency, were able to rush her through to Montecasino Bird Gardens where Dr Katja Koeppel was able to successfully operate. 

Two weeks later, thanks to the care from the team at Montecasino Bird Gardens she had healed well enough to be returned to the wild. Both Gauteng and Limpopo conservation officials were also able to expedite the permits required to move her back before the stress of captivity became an issue. This was a massive collaborative effort to keep a female ground-hornbill safe so that she can return to the wild to do what is so desperately needed by this Endangered species – to be able to rear another generation.

SterKinekor Cinema Park - #Addicted2Life - Right Decision to Drugs

Hi Guys,

It was a great opportunity to go be invited to a program which can not only change your life but also those around you. It helps you decide what is right and best for you. It helps you create a conscious effort towards making your life not only beautiful but also worthwhile on Planet Earth. Thanks to @sterkinekor

Addicted2Life is a program to empower young people to make the right decisions about Drugs and substance abuse. It's an initiative between Cinema Park and Gauteng Department of Education to directly engage with learners from various schools around Gauteng to make them aware about the substance abuse and drugs. The program hopes to reach more than 12000 Gauteng learners from Grade 7-12 over the next few years. 

The movie takes learners up to six different experiences that every parent and educator can use to give children the tools to better deal with the difficult decisions they will have to make as teenagers and young adults related to drugs, alcohol and substance abuse. The war against drugs starts with you and you only. The movie shows the impacts of drugs and alcohol on the physical and emotional side of human beings. This movie will help make learners aware about what it is really like (in your body, mind and life) after you use these drugs. Addicted to life program honestly presents the facts about drugs and alcohol. 

1. The Interactive Experience - "Your Choice" - A series of questions are asked to every learners and their inputs are recorded using the unique personal remote control. The questions tests the understanding, knowledge and attitude of learners before and after the program. The top 3 learners after the final round wins some rad prizes from Cinema Park also.

2. The 3D Experience - "Feeling the Chemistry" - Youth generally tend to believe that they are immune to the dangers of addiction. They wrongly suppose that whoever isn't addicted surely won't be harmed and they themselves won't become addicted ever. They have strong will power etc etc. These myths are broken in this video presentation which shows that once a drug abuse stays in your body for more than 30 days. It affects your heart and brain as well as other parts of body.

3. The Darkness Experience - "Knock Out" - The lights are switched off and learners are taken to a role play kind of journey of 3 youngsters at a party via audio inputs. The party ends in tragic circumstances. The learners learn how social pressures can change one's mind and affects negatively on one's decision making process. You could feel as to how will you react in that particular situation. 

4. The Motion Experience - "Chain Reaction" - Another movie presentation that takes learners through the process of drug making across the world. The movie shows the harsh realities from growing the plants to processing the same and finally transporting it through various parts of the world. It all leads to a big  network of crime which is worth billions of dollars. It not only affects the end user but also the creator of the same too. 

5. The Inspiration Experience - "Reality Check" - This is a movie presentation to take learners through the dangers of alcohol. It breaks various misconceptions that alcohol only damages in the long run. The truth is that even one occasion of irresponsible drinking can have devastating effects. The movies shows various real life examples of individuals/families which are suffering due to the same.

Overall, it's a journey which will make you aware about the drugs and it's effects on your body, brain and life. It not only vanishes your life but also your friends & families. Do check this program out to learn & experience for yourself before you take that path of no return. 

I don't do alcohol or any other substance abuse but it was a great learning experience for me too. I didn't know what drugs and alcohol causes inside your body and how it impacts your families and friends?  

I would like Cinema Park to include questions related to whether learners have taken theft as a measure to purchase drugs or if they are doing it already so that crime in our own lives angle & discussion can also be showcased.

Addicted2Life is available in Ster Kinekor. More info on twitter and facebook. 

Cheers!!!
