On Wednesday, 03 December 2009, BBC Radio visited IkamvaYouth branch office in Makhaza Khayelitsha with purpose of hearing views on Township side of how we feel about the upcoming 2010 soccer world.  IkamvaYouth director (WC), learners and tutors responded positively saying 2010 soccer world cup will boost our economy and government will provide and deliver services to the people and improve and others responded negatively saying government has spent so much money in the soccer world cup which was introduced to us four years ago and so much billions has been investment on stadiums but education was existing for almost 15 years since democracy but still we are struggling resource wise in our schools and to obtain funds which can support us in getting properly qualified.

I remember right at the beginning of the year when we had an Open Day at the Makhaza branch for learners that are interested in joining IkamvaYouth in addition to the learners that enrolled the previous year. One gentleman raised his hand from the fully packed Nazeema Isaacs Library and once he received his chance to speak, he said that he specifically want to say to the Grade 12’s that the year is very short and they need to work hard from the beginning of the year. He mentioned how much work one is involved with at Grade 12 and made it clear that if one snooze he or she will lose.
