Have you ever watched a DJ command a crowd and thought, "I wish I could do that"? Whether you're a music enthusiast looking for a new hobby or an aspiring artist dreaming of the main stage, Just Listen Entertainment is offering the perfect entry point. Their newly announced Beginners DJ Course is designed to take you from a listener to a performer with hands-on training and flexible learning options. The Foundations of the Craft The course moves beyond the basics, focusing on the technical skills required to create a seamless musical journey. Students will dive deep into the essential elements of modern DJing, including: Beatmatching: The "bread and butter" of DJing—learning how to align the tempos of two tracks manually. Sound Balancing: Mastering the EQ and gain levels to ensure your mix sounds professional on any sound system. Arrangement & Structure: Developing an ear for song patterns to know exactly when to introduce a new track. Timing & Mixing: Learning the art of the transition to keep the energy high and the dance floor moving. Learning on Your Terms Recognizing that everyone has a different schedule and budget, Just Listen Entertainment has introduced two distinct ways to learn. 1. The "Open Option" (Pay-as-you-go) Perfect for those with busy lifestyles or those who want to "try before they buy," these individual sessions range from R200 for 1 hour up to R350 for a 2.5-hour intensive. 2. Monthly Commitment Plans For the dedicated student, the monthly packages offer the best value for money. While a single month is R1500, the long-term packages provide significant savings, most notably the 4-month course for R3000, which effectively halves the monthly cost. A Full-Service Experience The support doesn't stop at the lessons. Just Listen Entertainment also provides Sound Hire and CDJ Rentals. This is a massive advantage for students; once you’ve learned the skills, you’ll have direct access to the professional equipment needed to play your first house party or event.

You can secure your spot or inquire about session availability via the following channels: Phone: 069 331 6834 WhatsApp: 083 547 4634 Don't just listen to the music, control it.

In a recent announcement that has sparked excitement across social media, the foundation teased the possibility of hosting a World Cup Big Screening Event. More Than Just a Game: The Ultimate Fan Experience The vision for the event goes far beyond just a screen in a park. The foundation is looking to curate a high-energy community hub that captures the electric atmosphere of the stadium.

Pure Energy: A curated mix of music and live "vibes" to keep the adrenaline pumping between matches. Cuisine & Culture: A variety of food stalls to keep fans fueled through extra time. Community Spirit: A space for people from all walks of life to unite under the banner of football. "Should We Make It Happen?" The Youth Courage ACS Foundation isn’t just planning this in a vacuum, they want your input. The foundation has issued a call to the public, asking two vital questions: "Would you come through? Should we make it happen?" By engaging the community directly, the foundation aims to gauge interest and ensure the event meets the expectations of the most die-hard supporters. Whether you're a tactical analyst or just there for the halftime snacks, your voice matters in bringing this fan park to life. Why It Matters As an organization dedicated to Art, Culture, and Sports, the Youth Courage ACS Foundation recognizes that the World Cup is a rare moment where these three pillars intersect perfectly. A big screening event isn't just about football; it’s about youth engagement, cultural exchange, and creating safe, vibrant spaces for the community to celebrate. Have your say! If you want to see this event become a reality, head over to the Youth Courage ACS Foundation’s social media pages and let them know you’re ready for the whistle to blow.

As jou gholfstokke deesdae meer soos spinnerak-stokke lyk, is dit nou die tyd om hulle af te stof. Carleton Fridgelec hou op 6 Maart 2026 ’n groot gholfdag by die Potchefstroom Country Club. Die beste deel van die hele storie is dat dit alles ten bate van die Abraham Kriel Kinderhuis is. Jy kry dus ’n kans om bietjie uit die kantoor te ontsnap terwyl jy help om ’n verskil te maak. Wat op die dag gebeur Die manne (en dames) gaan die baan invaar met ’n Shotgun start om 10:00. Die formaat vir die dag is Scramble Drive Better Ball, so daar is genoeg kans om jou spanmaat se foute reg te maak as dinge dalk skeefloop in die rowwe gras.

Koste en gaatjies Vir die mense wat wil saamspeel of betrokke raak, is daar ’n paar opsies: Per 4-bal: R2 000.00 Watergat: R600.00 per putjie (as jy die spelers wil verfris) Kombinasie: R2 500.00 vir ’n 4-bal en ’n watergat Dit is goeie waarde vir geld, veral as jy dink aan die goeie doel waarvoor die fondse ingesamel word. Maak kontak en bespreek Moenie te lank wag om jou plek te bespreek nie, want hierdie dae vul gewoonlik vinnig op. As jy wil saamspeel of dalk as ’n borg wil optree, kan jy vir Herman by 082-374-9983 of vir Caro by 084-605-5374 kontak. Hulle sal jou help met al die reëlings en papierwerk.

Methodist Primary School in Klerksdorp het vandag hul stem dik gemaak vir kankerbewusmaking. Personeel en leerders het die saak ondersteun deur helder oranje bykomstighede by hul skooldrag te dra. Hierdie visuele vertoon van eenheid beklemtoon die skool se deurlopende verbintenis tot sosiale verantwoordelikheid en die ondersteuning van diegene wat deur die siekte geraak word. Image: Methodist Primary School ’n Inspirerende Reis: Mev. Roxy Lubbe Tydens die saalopening het die skool ’n kragtige en persoonlike oomblik beleef toe Mev. Roxy Lubbe (van die naskool) haar eie pad met kanker gedeel het. Mev. Lubbe is tans in remissie en haar getuienis het leerders en personeel diep geraak. Haar storie dien as ’n baken van hoop vir enigiemand wat tans teen die siekte veg en herinner die skoolgemeenskap aan die krag van uithouvermoë. ’n Oproep tot Liefde en Ondersteuning Die dag het afgesluit met ’n belangrike boodskap: om voort te gaan om liefde en ondersteuning te bied aan vriende en familielede wat onder hierdie siekte ly. Methodist Primary School herinner ons daaraan dat ’n klein gebaar, soos die dra van ’n oranje lint of bykomstigheid, ’n groot boodskap van solidariteit kan uitstuur. #MethodistPrimary #Kankerbewusmaking #KlerksdorpSkole #OranjeVirHoop #SaamTeenKanker

Vir dekades lank was die matriekafskeid 'n eenvoudige ritueel: 'n geleentheid waar leerders in hul beste Sondagpak of 'n tuisgemaakte rok in die skoolsaal bymekaargekom het om hul skoolloopbaan af te sluit. Vandag, in 2026, het hierdie tradisie egter ontaard induisende rande bedryf wat ouers se bankrekeninge knyp en leerders se prioriteite bevraagteken. Image: The Go-To Guy Creations Die Astronomiese Koste van "Een Aand" Wat eens 'n beskeie uitgawe was, het nou 'n finansiële berg geword. Dit is nie meer ongewoon om te hoor van ouers wat lenings aangaan of hul spaargeld plunder sodat hul kind "in styl" kan opdaag nie. Die Mode-wedloop:  Die koste van 'n eksklusiewe matriekafskeidrok begin dikwels by R5,000 en kan maklik R30,000 oorskry as daar 'n bekende ontwerper betrokke is. Bykomstighede soos juwele en handsakke van tienduisende rande, soos die geval van die R20,000-bykomstighede wat op sosiale media gedeel is, word al hoe meer algemeen. Vervoer en die "Grand Entrance":  Die kompetisie stop nie by kleredrag nie. Om met 'n Ferrari, 'n gehuurde helikopter of selfs 'n polisie-begeleiding op te daag, het 'n manier geword om sosiale dominansie te toon. Hierdie huurkostes kan wissel tussen R4,000 en R10,000 vir slegs 'n paar minute se aandag. Kaartjies en Venues:  Skole kies al hoe meer luukse hotelle of landgoedere as venues. Kaartjiepryse (ook bekend as "deelnamefooie") het gestyg tot tussen R850 en R1,500 per persoon om die koste van spyseniering, dekor en sekuriteit te dek. Sosiale Media en die "Oswald-effek" Die opkoms van platforms soos TikTok en Instagram het die druk verhoog. Video-skeppers soos Oswald de Great maak inhoud wat spesifiek fokus op die pryskaartjies van uitrustings. Wanneer leerders sien hoe hul eweknieë spog met uitrustings wat meer as 'n gemiddelde maandsalaris kos, skep dit 'n giftige kultuur van vergelyking. Die matriekafskeid is nie meer net 'n afskeid van onderwysers en vriende nie; dit is 'n produksie wat ontwerp is vir die "like"-knoppie. Dit gaan oor wie die beste lyk en wie die duurste "look" kan bekostig. Die Ekonomiese Realiteit vs. Die Droom In 'n land soos Suid-Afrika, waar ekonomiese ongelykheid groot is, beklemtoon hierdie buitensporige besteding die gaping tussen die ryk en arm. Terwyl een leerder R20,000 op 'n handsak spandeer, moet 'n ander leerder op Reddit pleit vir hulp om net 'n R850-kaartjie te kan bekostig. Is daar 'n ander weg? Daar is 'n groeiende beweging onder sommige skole en gemeenskappe om die glans terug te bring na die menslike konneksie eerder as die materiële vertoon. Inisiatiewe soos "Dress Banks" (waar rokke geskenk en geleen word) en skole wat self die dekor hanteer om kaartjiepryse laag te hou, wen stadig maar seker veld. Aan die einde van die dag bly die matriekafskeid 'n belangrike mylpaal. Maar as die koste van een aand die finansiële stabiliteit van 'n gesin vir maande daarna beïnvloed, moet ons onsself afvra: Is die foto op Instagram werklik die skuldlas werd? #Matriekafskeid2026 #Matriekafskeid #MatricFarewell #GrootAand #SkoolHerinneringe #Matriek
