SINCE the South African government de-

clared the first Saturday of November as Na-

tional Childrens Day, the Nelson Mandela

BayMunicipality has invited dozens of school

children to engage in a warm debate and talk

about their environment, heritage, and their

rights on this day.

The event took place at the City Hall in Port

Elizabeth, where learners from different

schools of the Bay represented their schools

in the 2013 themewhich is My responsibility

as a child in nation building: Creating a car-

ing society.

The learners were selected from Sophaka-

ma High School, Lwandlekazi High, Newell

High,KwazakheleHigh, andKhanyisaSchool

For The Blind, while entertainment was pro-

vided by Empumalanga Primary School.

Kuhle Nqana from Kwazakhele High said,

If wewant to start grooming people, wemust

start by grooming ourselves. And if we want

to become a better South Africa, we must do

it without manipulating.

A learner fromSophakamaHigh,Noluvuyo

Mhlomi, said, Most of our school learners

come from families that depend on social

grants to make a living. About 70% of our

school learners are

living in shacks.

Anelisa Tetyana,

also fromSophaka-

ma High, said, I

would like to urge

learners to be re-

sponsible for their

actions. People who dont know where they

are coming from, wont know where they are

going. Be unique and be the voice for the

voiceless.

People must learn to think out of the box,

not within the box. Live to do good things and

be an icon like OR Tambo, Nelson Mandela,

and Chris Hani.

Yanela Mpalweni from Kwazakhele High

said, I am a proud Sutu girl and would like

to talk about heritage. Heritage is not about

painting your face with traditional make-up

whatsoever. It is about education. If you have

education, it will never be taken away from

you. We often look down on ourselves but if

we canbeproudof ourselves, nomatterwhere

we come from, we will knowwhere we are go-

ing.

Mabuti Dano from Constituency Services

office of the NMBM said he was very proud

once again to host this years Childrens Day

event. The main objective of Childrens Day

is to celebrate, popularize and promote the

Constitutional mandate to ensure that South

African society upholds the human rights for

the children.

TheNMBMhas engaged itself inmanychil-

drens rights programmes that include

among many, Childrens Forum, Childrens

Advisory Council, and Established Debate

Forums.

Baron urged residents in the mean

time, to make use of the nearest garden

and landfill sites to dispose of their refuse

bags, adding that this would continue un-

til the next collection date.

mal soon.

tion to the problem.
