This coming monday , the 16th of June is national Youth Day. On Youth
Day we celebrate the heroic actions of young people who took to the
streets of Johannesburg in protest of an oppressive system of government 32
years ago, in 1976.
In the face of apartheid's brutality, these learners joined together,
voiced their unhappiness and set in motion the march towards the freedom
which we finally received in 1994.
The struggle for freedom was fought by students, parents, teachers,
workers and the broader community, who supported the students in their
demand for a political voice. Armed with placards, a strong will and
determination, they fought the might of armed police and soldiers.
It is so important that in remembering what happened 32 years ago, we
continue to celebrate our freedom and reflect on how far we have come as
young South Africans in reversing the damage caused by apartheid. One
want to urge you as the future of South Africa, as our future leaders,
politicians, educators and business men and women, let us rededicate
ourselves to the achievement of the democratic ideals which the youth of
1976 stood up for. Let us be as strong willed and as determined to
stand up for what we believe in. Let us stand united, peacefully and
whole-heartedly against the evils in our society, in our homes, on our
playgrounds and in our hearts.The South Africa we live in today is still the
beautiful land it has always been, but is littered poverty, crime,
racism and violence. In 1976 South Africans just like you and me fought
extremely hard for the democratic education that we receive today. Your
education and your democracy is you right, a
right that thousands of people suffered for. Our rights give us
wonderful opportunities which will become powerful tools that will serve us
our whole lives. However with this great power, we must remember the
great responsibilities, to serve ourselves, our country, our parents, and
most of all the democracy for which we fought so hard.
Please do not fool yourself or your partner be wise because AIDS kills,

one round = one condom" Be Faithful!!!

Concerns and Answers
First and foremost i would like to know to the members
of the organisation what actual operation know your status mean
to them,If you guys have the same meaning as I am, which is to know
your status then I am afraid.Why?
let's assume if one of our members get results of being HIV positive what
we as members will do to support that individual. Some asinine can say alot.
I don't think some of us can be able to support that individual when is ill especially with HIV And AIDS
while we can't even support the so-called friends back at home to come to Higher institutions like Wits,Medunsa and Uj
For instance our chairman[Thulani] got his friend[Nkosinathi] at home who was passionate about studying until he lost hope,no support NO1.
another one Fezeka got
people like lindo and her sister Mpumie what she has done to show support to them,no support NO2
Another one which is our secretary[Bongza] he got people like Lucky or LUKIE what he has done to assist this man since they were struggling together
to get a school they even went to Mzo campus together, nothing done
OK let's assume that all this people mentioned above they don't have requirements to for their prefared courses,the those guys done to help them to
improve those result.
So then it is impossible to support someone when is ill especially the one who is not friend when you can't
even assist your friend, I am sorry but is true.
Actually personal I SUPPORT THE OPERATION but guys please lets convience each other that we will be able to support each other
even in bad times.
Mr B.
From the four corners of the office of the Chairperson of UBPA, from deep the valleys of uThaka where UBPA gets its inspiration and relevance from, from the Chair to the associates, from one member to another; Mr B you must be answered in a holistic way that is far removed from personal attacks and prejudices. This is in response to your correspondence of the 4th of June 2008.
It is trite from a Chairperson's point of view that when a member, who clearly appears to be concerned raises such bread and butter issues; he must be responded to in haste one must say. Mr B in some of what you have raised you stand to be corrected, and obviously some of the issues you have raised must be thought hard, and it is for this reason that the Chairperson is not going to rubbish your mail but will treat it as if you have hit a bull's eye and respond accordingly. Our associates should if they are going to respond also do the same, let us rather focus on the merits and not be too defensive on this because we may end up attacking one another and losing perspective.
Mr B, be corrected the people we wanted to bring to tertiary institutions are not necessarily our friends. Some of us are way senior people to befriend matriculants in case you have forgotten the Chair matriculated five years ago. It follows from this reason that the Chair can't really have friends down there as he knows only a hand full people from a distance who all but grew in front of him. The Chair's friends are all the dedicated and determined associates of UBPA and the like. The matriculants are then fellow country boys and girls of ours who we feel indebted to share the little we have as far as academia and development in the broader sense is concerned. The Chair hopes this will make sense and you shall accordingly see why you stood to be corrected on this issue.
Mr B, let us briefly looked at the real reasons why the trips failed. It was not because UBPA failed her "Friends" as you incorrectly put it. but it was because there was no will power on the powers that be to meet UBPA half way on this matter. When the SG and the Chair first spoke about this issue to Mr Xulu, we were told right there and then that this was an impossible task. It was only December early January then. But UBPA persisted on this issue, Lindo tried her best to implement the suggestions by the Chair but she was a grain of sand in a desert, this is why UBPA has then created a portfolio of projects and campaigns to better coordinate all our projects and campaigns although that portfolio at the moment looks disgruntled and is failing to deliver, but it is still our portfolio and we must reinforce so it becomes useful. On this matter those of us who tried did our best and failed on this battle, but rest assured as long as the Chair is around UBPA will win this war, and Chair will see to it. Just in passing, you know Mr B had you also played a proactive role in this matter perhaps things would have turned out differently because what you now doing is tantamount to being an arm chair critic. UBPA we are all wise after the fact and that should change.
Allow the Chair to quickly touch on the TNJ issue. The Chair is afraid to say that you stand to be corrected again on this issue. For your information TNJ completed his ancillary nursing qualification and because there were many issues competing for his attention he decided to get himself full time employment at the municipality. The Chair is convinced that TNJ didn't give up on any thing, the man just wanted to be a father to his kid, a husband to his girlfriend and a son to his mother. A father that could take responsibility and a son that could say "Mama ulele nje udleni namuhla", surely no one can fault him on that. The man took a conscious decision. It must be made clear that not every person who enters tertiary is tertiary material and thus not everyone who enters varsity will succeed, you should know this. UBPA then says we target development holistically, we acknowledge the importance of education, but we still want our people to work so as not to be redundant. Not so associates? Tertiary is tough and yes we can't all be Clinical Psychologist Mntambo, educational Psychologist Mlambo, medical Doctor Nkwanyana or Khumalo, accountant Mtshali or teacher Mngomezulu for example. Mr B the Chair assures you TNJ is content with his life at the moment he thinks he made a wise move.
On the issue of one testing positive. If you have paid particular attention on the whole process of VCT you would know that the support an individual requires start from that individual himself accepting his status and this is why people are psychologically prepared first for this possible outcome before tests are made. Once an individual accepts his status that individual will care less whether UBPA supports him or not, if anything that individual will construe UBPA's lack of support as arrogance and ignorance of the pandemic. Research shows us that even with the best support in the world if an individual himself has accepted his status all will be in vain. The UBPA led by the current executive will do everything reasonably possible in its power to lend a hand to any one who needs a hand under any conditions. Not so associates. The DSG will tell you correctly so that as a slogan UBPA lives, UBPA leads no where does it says UBPA judges people.
As UBPA associates we are joined by a spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood because we share the same history of class and the same aspirations for the future. The Chair remains convinced that if we help one another then definitely the tomorrow will be brighter than the today. Sure, the Chair can't speak on what happened to Luki or Lindo for that matter but the Chair will tell you that not succeeding into getting to tertiary is not the end of the world, some people have never set foot in a tertiary institution but are more successful than any of us will ever be. The Chair's brother matriculated last year and didn't make it to tertiary this year, will that then be grounds to say to the Chair how is he going to help others if he can't help his own brother? No, if you are thinking like this you are missing the point and as Gandhi would say science without consciousness will be your demise. UBPA is convinced that testing oneself is a proper thing to do, DSG as a slogan for our know your status campaign the Chair submits people must be aware after testing whatever the result that one round = one condom, and one condom = one round; not so? Let us be safe from HIV, from drugs, from poverty and mental indignation. In the words of Biko the most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the brain of the oppressed. UBPA let us think and act like the leaders that we are.
Mr B the Chair hopes that this answers your concerns, if not let us engage further.
UBPA lives, UBPA leads all hands on deck as we accelerate the holistic development of Uthaka and her people.

Open Letter to UBPA
From the Education Portfolio
This is an open protest to UBPA in general but specific portfolios in particular, our attention is targeted to, where appropriate the Media Publicity and the Projects Campaigns portfolios respectively. As the education portfolio it fell well within our duties and obligations to organise and oversee the education strategy for the coming winter classes as the project appears in our plan of action for the year. We devised such a strategy and posted to the relevant parties for their considerations. It goes without saying that they were also required to perform their complementary duties in line with what we have submitted. The Projects and Campaigns portfolio was required to transport our strategy on its merits to the relevant parties.
The Media and Publicity portfolio were supposed to create hype and advertise us well. Not so associates? You know to those of us who understand the power of advertising will tell you in the words of one writer that business without advertising is like winking at a beautiful girl in the dark where no one else can see you but yourself. This is irrespective of how well the plan is, if it is not properly advertised then it is not adequately exposed to the minds of the people. The Projects and Campaigns portfolio was also suppose to collect data on our behalf, the very same data the DC is now requesting and supply this data to us so we can devise a proper time line and time table. We are not saying it is now too late for the Campaigns and Projects to execute this obligation, but what we do submit is that we are being frustrated.
The Chair in his correspondence as Co head of the education cluster has made submission to this effect so is the TG in her highly controversial submission that read South Africans were justified in showing acts of Barbarism in the attacks of foreign nationals. We as Co heads have discussed this amongst ourselves and came to the conclusion that we operate in an environment where certain portfolios were making it difficult for us to do our work effectively. We still plead with our associates to be conscious of this as we make it an official complain against the cited portfolios. Our associates can then guide us into how best can we deal with this situation. This should be a collective effort but it is clear that certain people are not coming to the party. Having said that, we plead with our associates to still supply the needed information to the Campaigns and Projects Cluster.
The Chair will attempt to avail himself as from the 22nd of June if not sooner but definitely not later. The program must run for two weeks and on this point we need to agree associated and all attempt to be there at least for the duration of the program. The Chair would further like to believe that this is the day the SG is also making his way down. Mr SG there is safety in numbers and the Chair would like to embark on an ambitious mission of using a different mode of transportation, like a train or a bus. Are you keen to adventure so you can join. UBPA the current economic climate we are facing makes it trite that we save and tighten our belts as tight as we can. The reserve bank has said it, so is the Chair of UBPA.
The Chair further feels it fitting to share with UBPA that he is now credited and alleviated to the status of co founder member of the Black Lawyers Association (student chapter - Wits University). Without blowing his own trumpet, the Chair is about to be further promoted to the position of Chairperson in BLA's executive. For UBPA all this means that the Chair is to further develop his skills that will allow him as a leader to make the smaller person feel even greater in the words of one writer. Is this quotation not correct SG? It is UBPA's mission to represent uThaka on every stage possible and both the Chair at BLA and the DC at the Med. Council will pursue this mission to its bitter end. The challenge associates remains to represent UBPA on the highest platform possible as a student - at your graduation.
UBPA all hands on deck as we pursuit this mission. UBPA leads, UBPA lives - One round = one condom, one condom = one round. Let our associates be safe, never do what the Chair will not do. Associates, if you can't be safe in your doings at least be careful.
