Today we heard from Mandisi Njoli – from Youth4Change. Youth for Change is a community driven project that deals with all matters of youth development. They have managed to collect youth that were involved in all criminal activities such as gangsterism, drug abuse, possession of dangerous weapons as well as girls that are involved in teenage pregnancy, alcohol abuse as well as selling their bodies for money and have changed them to using all their talents for positive deeds but the two gentlemen explained more the organisation.

We also heard from Warno Steenkamp and Penny Roberts - From the Masters Court. We were talking about Wills and Estate. A will is a document executed by a person that disposes of his/her property after his/her death. It generally names a personal representative to administer the estate but what happens if the person dies and has left no will well my two experts explained more about the importance of writing down a will and when or where should it be filed.
