- Description: School is out! Christmas is around the corner. So put up your feet and enjoy your well-earned holiday break. And don't be without Upbeat. This issue is packed with great holiday reading; quizzes, holiday places to visit, cassettes and books to win. Boys move over! There is a new soccer wizard, to make you tremble in your boots - HER name is Fikile Sithole. Meet her on page 8. There's also lots of great music in this issue. There's a poster of all your local favourites on page 20. But also learn about the golden oldies, who had your grandparents up and jiving. We hope you like our FREE Peace Begins with you' poster. Read it, talk about it and put it up on your wall. We hope the ideas help to bring a little peace, into your neighbourhood and home. Hundreds of readers wrote to us this year. Many letters were about violence; in the street, at home and in school. The terrible violence this year brought pain and suffering to many people. For too long apartheid has destroyed people's hopes and dreams. We want peace and democracy in our land. We want proper schools, were all young people can enjoy learning. Thank you for supporting Upbeat this year and for filling our pages with your wonderful poems, letters, stories and ideas. We wish all our readers a happy and peaceful holiday.

- Description: Christmas is around the corner and it's holiday time again. So grab your Upbeat, put up your feet and enjoy your well- earned rest. This issue is packed with great holiday reading. Meet Mignon - the muscle maker, discover Africa's music queens or find out about a great new book to read. In our comic, The Galaxy Arcade Kids, Nomonde finds herself in trouble. Don't miss it. In this issue you will also find your FREE 1994 calendar. It is bright and colourful and its message is for peace and democracy in 1994. Upbeat believes that learning should always be fun. Find out about a great new Upbeat product on page 17. Once you see it, Africa will never be the same again! We wish all our readers a happy and peaceful holiday. During the last week of September, Upbeat together with the Weekly Mail Book Week and Film Festival, ran workshops. We went to Daveyton, Eldorado Park and Othandweni in Soweto. In the workshops students learnt how books are used to make films. Everyone was divided into groups and given a book to dramatise. With help from the Sibikwa Community Theatre Project and Soyikwa Institute for African Theatre, the groups prepared dramas which were filmed. Mrs Simelane, a teacher from one of the schools in Daveyton, said, 'I did not know that my students had such talent. This has truly been an eye- opener for me. I hope that you will run workshops next year so that more of our students can take part.' Students all agreed that the day was great fun. Everyone received a book pack at the end of the day. Now they are waiting to see the final product of their efforts once the film has been edited.

- Description: When is the right time to have sex? Upbeat receives hundreds of letters from young people around the country, asking this question. People tell us how confused and frightened they feel. It is a very difficult question and Upbeat doesn't have the answer. Maybe your friends are 'doing it' and you feel left out. But don't rush into anything that you are not sure of. Rather wait than make a big mistake. We've an article on page 14, to make you think about whether you are ready to have sex or not. We hope it helps you make the right choice. There are lots of great stories to read in this issue. On page 4 you can find out what is happening in the troubled schools of Soweto. Read an amazing story about Argentina on page 10 about young boy who was stolen. It is a story about courage - the courage of women who stood up and demanded that the government find their children. This issue is also packed with lots of things to win. We've got FIVE great competitions that will get you thinking, drawing and making things. Don't miss the competition for an ISM computer on page 20, or the school bursaries competition on page 36. There are also competitions for music and books.

- Description: Thousands of young people are not at school. Many more can't find jobs or are homeless with little to eat. Others are frightened and scarred by the violence that surrounds them. Apartheid has brought hardship and pain to millions of people in this country. Ongoing violence, poverty and poor schooling have left over three million young people without a decent education, jobs or opportunities to develop their talents. These young people have come to be known as 'marginalised youth.' Apartheid has left them with little hope for the future. The government doesn't care about them. Often their own families can't help them either. But they have not been forgotten. At the National Youth Development Conference youth, parents, teachers and political leaders debated and discussed ways to solve the problems of marginalised youth in our country.

- Description: Stanley ran away from home when he was a little boy. He lived on the streets. He took drugs and ended up in jail. That was two years ago. Today he has a job as a painter. Stanley feels hopeful about the future. Kathleen was 13 when she left home to live on the streets. Today she is doing a cooking course and has moved in with her aunt in Mitchell's Plain.

There's Gary Donnelly who is the youngest player ever to play for the NSL. He says that there is no magic in being a sportsman. It's just practice! Meet Jac Fourie from Pretoria. He was chosen to attend the International Space Camp in Alabama, USA. What an experience! If you live in Phiri in Soweto you have probably heard of Soso's Hair Salon. It is run by the amazing Sonki Nkwane. Five of his hairdressers, are friends who are still at school. All these young people have one thing in common. They are on the move! They want to challenge and change things. They want to learn and search for new opportunities, that will make a difference to their lives. Happy reading!
