 ED's LETTER 

WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF LOVE!

Life happens to all of us but we should never take permanent decisions in temporary situations ~ Kholofelo Teffo 



A time to celebrate love is upon us. This the one element that a human being can't live without. In the next coming days, we will be updating articles featuring different ways in which LOVE is involved. We normally see Valentine's Day being celebrated by couples only or this very month reserved for couples, I then asked myself gore what happens to Singles? Families? Colleagues? The Church? and so on.

We've been in lockdown for almost a year now and most of us have shifted from showering ourselves with love and those amongst us. We worry about where the next meal will come from...how about we pause just for this month and love ourselves, celebrate ourselves and life with ourselves?

"Don't love because of beauty or money but love genuinely without any cause and holding back." 

Love is unconditional, it protects, it cares, it encourages. Life happens to all of us but we should never take permanent decisions in temporary situations. Don't love because of beauty or money but love genuinely without any cause and holding back. Moreover, may we first fall in love with ourselves before getting involved with the next party. In this way, we will stop blaming other people for "heartbreak" instead of disappointment. 

Remember that one cannot give what they do not have. People fail their exams in schools because they do not have the answers to the question that is posed to them, same thing with love. People cheat or are dishonest or hate because they don't have love in them. 

I hope you enjoy the coming articles on  learners & teachers relationship, family relationship, singles, community members relationship, the church relationship and of course, couples relationship. 


 With true love, Kholo...

109 YEARS OLD - DIKUBU PRIMARY SCHOOL BACKGROUND EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE CURRENT PRINCIPAL MAHLAHLANI INTRO Naboomspruit Amalgamated School, today known as Dikubu Primary school was established in 1910 by the Church of England before the Anglican and Lutheran Churches took over.  The name Dikubu comes from the sound of the Hippopotamus which was heard making sounds in the river during rainy seasons. It is believed that the name also comes from the plantations which grew where the township is currently situated as it was shaped like a sjambok, “ kubu ” in Sepedi. When the school relocated to the township it had no sufficient classrooms. The Lutheran, New Reformed (Dutch), AME, AFM and Anglican churches opened their doors to accommodate some classes. The Khosa family next to the old graveside also opened their garage to accommodate some classes during difficult times.  The school was built by members of the community using self-made bricks .
