- Description: Lebogang Tsotetsi is 18 years old. In October last year she wrote us this letter: 'I am a very lonely 18-year-old girl. I am HIV positive.' In response 287 Upbeat readers wrote to her, offering support and friendship. We at Upbeat were impressed and touched by Lebogang's courage and by the warmth and kindness of so many of our readers. Now Lebogang has written an open letter to all Upbeat readers. Read about her experiences and hopes for the future on page 28. What else is there in Upbeat? There is lots to learn about. When lightning flashes across the sky, is it safe to hide in a taxi? Find the answer in our science story. What was it really like to live and work on a Gold mine 100 years ago? Why did some people get rich while others suffered great hardship. Don't miss our history story on page 8. Teachers don't forget our special Teacher's Guide, with each issue of the magazine. Our easy-to-follow lesson plans will bring fresh ideas to your classroom. Enjoy reading and learning with Upbeat!

- Description: American movies and TV want us to believe that there is only one kind of beauty. Girls must be tall and slim and boys should be muscular and manly. Often young people feel bad about their bodies, because they don't look like movie stars or models. But what is beautiful depends on the society in which you live. Among the Masai in Kenya, thin boys are regarded as very handsome. Among the Kuna Indians the shape of your nose is what counts! Read all about them on page 20. 'Upbeat is better than hot chocolate on a cold winter's night.' That's what one reader told us. And she's right. Winter is here and that's the time to be indoors with a good read - Upbeat magazine. There's lots to read about that will warm your heart. Read about Mpho Serobe who's in the movie business. He admires people who's businesses have crashed. Find out why on page 34. It's a tough life for young prostitutes. But there are people who care. Meet them on page 4. The more you read the more you learn about yourself and the world around you. So keep warm and enjoy learning and reading from this month's Upbeat.

- Description: Upbeat is on the move. This month we visited the Northern Cape. It is a big, dry province with high unemployment. It is also the place where a group of conservative Afrikaners are trying to keep apartheid alive. But Northern Cape Premier, Manne Dipico, is a tolerant and clever leader. Find out how he handles the right-wingers in his province on page 8. There's been a lot of news lately about conditions in South Africa's jails. Even the Minister of Prisons was shocked when he saw the damp, dirty cells in some jails. Will something be done to improve the situation? Upbeat will keep readers informed. Meanwhile, where can young people who are awaiting trial, be held in safety? We visited Meritum near Krugers- dorp to find out. (page 28) Are you reading Upbeat's business economics articles? In Upbeat No 8, we will publish all the questions that you need, to enter our bumper money competition. And if you follow the Living Trees articles (page 20), you might win Upbeat's biggest-ever prize, a tennis court or soccer field for your school! Good luck!
