SG MAFAESA
SECONDARY SCHOOL
Mafaesa Rocks! It’s a fact.
Our school is a source of wis-
dom and inspiration. Both our
educators and learners are tal-
ented and skilled in many are-
as especially in per-
forming arts, that is why we
say, Mafaesa has got Talent.
We spice Arts and Culture and
Dramatic Arts learning areas
in a more practical and inspir-
ing way.
‘Mafaesa Has Got Talent’ is a
show where learners
show their talent in perform-
ing arts. The audience will be
treated with solo artists and
groups will clash on stage with
poetry , dance, singing, instru-
mentals and comedy from
Round One winners..
Who knows? A future , Brenda
Fassie, Luck Dube, Miriam
Makeba and many of our gone
musicians will be reborn from
here. What’s your talent ? Is it
acting, singing, dancing, poetry
etc ? Bring it on!

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK:
THE WILL TO EXCEL Our attitude will determine the extent to which we shall achieve excellence. Those who persistently forge ahead in the
interest of doing better refuse, against all odds, to allow anything to overshadow progress
being made.
They continuously maintain the momentum and will not let any developments (positive or
negative) derail them from the cause of eminently good quality.
Although conditions may not always be favourable (personally and/ or situationally), they
are inclined to maintain a course of being efficacious, Jutting with confidence on a path to
shape their future and that of the institution.
The major thrust to the realisation of potential for greatness is to put an agreeable measure of
success at the center of attaining excellence. At the core of our pursuit is the realisation that
our values are a grand launch pad towards success. According to our international icon,
Nelson Mandela "values commit us to a continued walk". Keep on keeping on.

OUR SCHOOL HISTORY
Being in Matric is an exciting passage of time
with motivating challenges. Everyday we
meet academic challenges. We are happy to
say that all the obstacles and problems that we
meet always have a solution.
We encourage all matriculants to work hard
and not drop the calabash of wisdom which
we have been drinking from since we began
this academic journey. We are very proud and
lucky to have a school like SG Mafaesa with
all the wonderful and supportive educators.
Our educators sacrifice their extra time and
give us extra morning, afternoon and weekend
lessons so that we have a bright future.

SGB NEWS: S.G. MAFAESA THE BRAND
Institutions that thrive seek a balanced approach to achieving excellence. They are aware of the intricate aspects
(regardless of how miniscule they may be) that form a critical component for achieving excellence. To that end, they
brand themselves accordingly.
The SGB is proud to announce the initiation of project and programmes ambassadors within the school. All SGB and
management programmes will have ambassadors who will market these programmes and amass the necessary
support. The SGB is pleased pleased to announce the zero tolerance ambassadors who will assist the RCL, teachers
and school management with identifying and eliminating untoward conduct (violation of the code of conduct)
around the school. These ambassadors will be our discipline brand.
We further announce the intent to launch branding material that will enable us to achieve 'nil nici optimum' (nothing
but the best). Once we have the buy in from all stakeholders, the criteria for project/ programme ambassadors will be
unvailed. We look forward to a grand S.G. Mafaesa face lift. Join us in branding our school by being the brand with-
in. From The SGB’s Desk

SG DRAMA CLUB
we are calling all performing art-
ists to come and enjoy poetry, mu-
sic singing, dance and drama with
us.
We rehearse Mondays, Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursday from
14h30- 15h30.Venue: D6
(Mr Nkomo’s classroom).
This term we will stage our pro-
duction entitled ‘ My Africa’. It’s
not to be missed.
In visual arts we will do tie and
dye and our own stage backdrop
which we will use during our
show. (My Africa).
What I like about our drama
club is that there is no grade 8, 9
or 10. We are all equal artists on
stage and we work as a family.
Performing arts is all about crea-
tively putting your thoughts into
practice on stage. We are cur-
rently preparing for Segarona
Dance Competitions and the
Gauteng Carrnival in Soweto
next month.
By Gavaza Mathye
We represent God’s kingdom and nothing is
special about us. Jesus Christ commanded us
to preach to the people and testify that he is the
one whom God appointed as judge of the liv-
ing and the dead. Come and join us everyday
during lunch times.

Troubles by Nleluheni Livhali 9D
Friends become enemies.
Men become women
Pain stings like death
It tears happiness apart
Troubles never end.
The sorrow
The Sadness
The disgrace
The disagreements
The double pain
Trees fall for no reason
Dogs keep on barking.
Love by Annickie Malatji 8B
What is love?
Its unknown
Yet we cant forget it.
Its greater than all
And too small for them all.
It flows beautifully like a river
And brings a smile to the sad world
Love heals broken hearts.
Love has no room
for breaking promises.
Love forgives and forgets.
Love is blind but sees the heart.
June 16 by Tiny Ngobeni 8D
We have entered a night
To tell our tale.
We listen to words wisdom.
Children scream and shout
For equality in education
Blood flows in the streets of Soweto
The wounds are open
Tears flow
The inner silence speaks
The truth must be spoken
Secrets must be revealed.
Amandla, is the slogan.
