Real Ideas Sports Club & Be Your Dream

Today on Sakhisizwe we had two guests in the studio.

First we spoke to Xolisa, manager at the Real Ideas Sports Club. Which is an organisation that operates as a catalyst for change within the communities, as most boys here after coming back from school, have absolutely nothing to do rather than sitting out on the streets and experimenting with drugs. 
Real Ideas Sports Club gives these boys a chance to play in a competitive football team during their spare time so it's used in a productive and meaningful way. 

They are still looking for people willing to be apart of the organisation, specifically those keen to work with girls in the near future as well.

Later in the show we spoke to Afiba from Be Your Dream, a campaign that seeks to offer opportunities to disadvantaged matriculates who are unable to submit their applications for admission to Universities and potential sponsors on time.
They help students who have no acces to a computer to fill in their online applications, as well as help them make a properly informed decision on which course to sign up for.

Grade 11 students wanting to apply to the program can do so until the 30th of March using following contact details (please note 50 spots are available so a selection procedure will be used):

Rudy van Dieman, who has partnered with Angels South Africa, an organisation based in Colorado Park, Mitchells Plain, will summit Table Mountain 365 times in 2022, to raise funds for building a community orphanage. Angels SA wants to purchase a house that will become a safe house for children. ‘’Farieda Moses, [Founder of AngelsSA] has been a role model to me since I knew her. She took us on a camp and we stayed in contact after that ,and we done various charity work together. Just her will, and her strength that I see in her - she wants to make such a big change, but don’t have the necessary tools, so it will take years to fund her dream, and I came up with the crazy idea to give it a year and do my part to raise those funds and build that house,’’ said van Dieman.

800 million people around the world are living with obesity.

  4th of March is observed as World Obesity Day and we spoke to CEO Professor Pamela Naidoo and Dietitian Kinza Hussian from The Heart and Stroke Foundation.  So according to the World Obesity Federation, 800 million people around the world are living with obesity. And then also in South Africa almost 65% of women and 30% of men are classified as being overweight or obese. So being overweight or obese increases your risk of having a heart disease or even a stroke, as well as numerous other health problems including high blood pressure or diabetes.  Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat in the body, but it's also very important, you know, where that fat lies.  Bear in mind checking body mass index is something which I'm sure most people are aware of, it's that quick calculation everyone can just do, which is your weight in kgs divided by your height in meter squared, so if that number is greater than 30, that's when we'd say someone's ob...
