Nine As for Duan! Modikwa started safe

Not so long ago, in 2006 to be exact, 13year old Duan Craffert switched from the headstream education system when his parents enrolled him at Joshua Generation, a local Christian school in Burgersfort and Steelpoort offering the American-based ACE system of education to learners. During his entire school career at Joshua Generation, Duan thoroughly made use of the excellent opportunities offered by that school, in addition to the schools Christian character and the spiritual aspect of education at the institution. Being quite bright in the game of chess, Duan won the National Championship and was therefore invited to represent South Africa in the 2007 International Championship which was held in Greece. Every year, the teenagers of the ACE schools in Africa are invited to attend the All Africa Student Convention which therefore assembles about 2,000 students. Here, learners can participate in their field of expertise- whether it be in sport, music, art, or platform events. Duan immediately fell in love with the platform- preaching and recitations to be more exact. Due to his insatiable love for the podium, Duan excelled and received either first or second prize in the years 2007 to 2010, every year. He was therefore nominated to preach and recite expositions in the Unites States. He attended the International Student Convention, which was held at the University of Central Missouri, USA which proved to be a life-changing experience. Duan matriculated in 2011 with honours. He achieved seven distinctions in his major subjects and an additional two in his electives adding up to 9 As. He has been accepted to study law at the University of North-West in Potchefstroom. Today, Duan looks back at Joshua Generation in consideration and is reminded of how he has grown physically, emotionally, intellectually, and, above all, spiritually!

ModikwaPlatinum Mine Heads Of Departments / Management welcomed employees and contractors with a safety campaign held on Tuesday 10 January 2012. This campaign showed that Modikwas commitment towards safety has just taken another step forward and strives towards nine million fatality free shifts. The mine comes a long way in safety and has been seen as a trend setter within the platinum industry and the African continent as a whole. The Mines Zero harm, No repeats and Simple Standards principle has paved a way to the reduction of Lost Time Injury frequencies and has improved safety standards. During this campaign HODs encouraged Mine employees and contractors to join hands in mining safely and ensuring that their workplaces are safe. HODs further conducted K53 tests on all vehicles that were entering Modikwas main gate to ensure personal safety. Road fitness and Mine Permit Stickers were among the items checked on the vehicles.

The message is clear Start safe to end safe

Being overweight or obese can affect from your hear to your joints, breathing, mood, sleep and energy levels. In essence people become overweight when they eat more calories than they burn off. The additional calories is stored as fat that builds up in the body. Who becomes overweight? Today more people than ever before are overweight. It can affect young and old. One third of children between 2 and 19 is overweight. Why does obesity happens? It tends to run in families. Some families may have a larger tendency to gain weight. Your genes however is not the only influence in weight issues. Unhealthy food choices, high calorie snacks and foods with a lower nutritional value, bigger portions of food as well as the lack of a healthy exercise routine all contribute towards obesity. Obesity occurs when people eat more than they need. Measuring overweight Doctors measure a persons body mass index (BMI). If you measure above 95% of what is considered to be a healthy weight for your length and age, you are classified as obese. If you measure above 85%, you will be classified as overweight. Health problems due to overweight Blount disease - excess weight in teenagers and children can lead to a bone deformity in the lower legs. Arthritis - due to the excess weight your joints have to carry. Asthma - obesity can make it difficult for children to play sports and keep up with their friends. Sleep apnea - this condition affects your sleeping pattern and can cause people to feel tired and can affect their ability to concentrate. It can also lead to heart problems. High blood pressure. Hight cholesterol that can increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. Gallstones. Type 2 Diabetes. Depression. After the festive season where over indulgence was common, it may be good to start the year with a healthy eating and exercise plan.
