- Description: This month we decided that it is time to turn our attention to the male sex. In Talkshop we discover that boys do worry about their images and their bodies but not always in the same ways that girls do. For some light relief from exams read how Mbaqanga artist, Phuzekhemisi got his unusual name. And for something more serious, Upbeat looks at constructive ideas from unemployed youth groups. Flow can young people gain the skills needed to put their good ideas into action? When you've read the article on unemployed youth, write and tell us about your own ideas for projects in your areas. Upbeat plans publish articles about how our readers are helping with reconstruction and development. December 1 is World AIDS Day. The theme for this year is: AIDS and the family. This is a day for people to remember those who have died of AIDS. It is also a time to support people who have AIDS or who have lost a family member because of the disease. AIDS Day offers families who are supporting AIDS sufferers a chance to plan together. It is a time for them to work out how to support and help brothers, sisters, parents or others who have AIDS. The day is especially important for families who have been separated by migrant labour, violence and poverty. Look out for special events in your area on World AIDS Day.

- Description: This month millions of South Africans will vote for the first time in their lives. So if you want to know more about voting, there is lots of information for you on pages 4 and 5. If you are over 18, read it and find out what to do on election day. If you are under 18, read it and teach your parents, neighbours and friends. It is also important to know how the new government will work and who is in the new government. Read about it on page 6 and use the map on page 10 to follow the election results. Most young people we spoke to are worried about violence on the days of the election. Some political parties have decided not to take part. Remember that voting is a personal decision. If your party is not taking part in the elections, please let others vote in peace.

- Description: In April, the Institute for Multi-party Democracy organised a debate. Young people from the Democratic Party Youth, the ANC Youth League, the IFP Youth and Aisec discussed howto protect youth rights. Neville Naidoo of the ANCYL argued strongly for a youth ministry. He said that, in the past, each government department received money for youth development. The youth had no control how this money was spent because it was spread over so many different departments. Neville said that all money for youth development should go to one Youth Ministry. The Youth Ministry would then make sure that the money was spent where it vtas needed most. The DP youth said that a ministry would cost too much money. They argued for an independent national youth council made up of youth organisations. They said the council must protect youth rights and see to youth development. No agreement was reached but everyone enjoyed themselves. There was lots of laughter and shouting. Hopefully, we will be able to debate many issues in the same, friendly atmosphere.

- Description: On 9 August every year, the people of South Africa celebrate Women's Day. We do this to remind the government that women should enjoy the same rights and opportunities as men. And we celebrate Women's Day on 9 August for a special reason. On 9 August 1956, 20 000 women from all over South Africa gathered at the Union Buildings in Pretoria. Led By Lilian Ngoyi and Helen Joseph, women came to protest. They were angry because the government was trying to force women to carry passes and control their movements. They told the Nationalist Prime Minister, Strijdom, 'You have tampered with the women. You have struck the rock.' The women lost their struggle. But every year we remember their bravery. And every year we pledge ourselves to fight, so that women are treated as equals in our country.

- Description: On April 27, all South Africans will vote for a new government. Change often brings both hope and fear. We hope that the elections will bring peace and justice. But we fear that violence and intimidation will make democratic change difficult. It's up to us all to build peace. In this issue find out what The Peace Pioneers are doing and discover how to resolve conflicts peacefully in our story Fighting fair or foul'. But that's not all you must do. Be involved in the decisions that your parents, teachers and the politicians are making. Keep yourself informed! Ask questions when you don't understand what the politicians are saying. Be critical of the promises that they make. It's your life that they will control. This is a year of great change in our country. Listen, think and don't be without Upbeat. We'll keep you informed, give you advice and put your views - the views of the youth of South Africa - first.
