#AVBOBPoetry winners announced as latest #Competition opens up! #Poetry #MotivationMonday

The calibre of poems entered into this year's AVBOB Poetry Prize competition made it a challenge for the 11 language editors to choose winners.

This year's competition drew more than 29 000 entries and was open to 11 official languages with a winner of each language category. The winners were announced at a gala event on Thursday, with each of the 11 firstplace winners receiving a R10 000 cash prize and a R2 500 book voucher.

The poems will be captured in the second volume of the competition print anthology, I Wish I'd said, which was compiled by competition editor-in-chief Johann De Lange, and academic, poet and author Mandla Maphumulo.

Volume Two includes 101 poems with English translations: 55 specially commissioned poems, and 44 poems drawn from the second competition.

AVBOB chief executive Frik Rademan said: "In our darkest hour, we all need upliftment and consolation. And so we built the themes of love, hope and birth into the competition. The AVBOB Poetry Competition and print anthology – along with the 'What If, South Africa?' campaign – serve to address our collective need for comfort and care. And they offer us a meditation on the things that bring us together as a nation – our experience of loss, our desire to unburden, and our need for hope."

The respective language submissions winners, along with their poems, are: Afrikaans, Tom Dreyer, Slaap jy solank, dan hou ek die fort; English, Jaco Fouché, A feeling like leaving harbour; isiNdebele, Mfana Skhosana, Isivunguvungu; isiXhosa, Simphiwe Ali Nolutshungu, Emaxhoseni; isiZulu, Halalisile Mkhize, Ubungumthombo; Sepedi, Kgabo Sebatjane, Mmane Makalawua Sebatjane; Sesotho, Kaizer Tjokoane, E thobile thatohatsi; Setswana, Thatayaone Dire, Ke a dira; Siswati, Nokukhanya Mahlalela, Ngiyafisa kube ngasho; Tshivenda, Matodzi Magoro, Nga duvha langa la vhufhelo; Xitsonga, Patrick Khosa, U tatana.

"Homage is paid to the Khoisan languages, with the inclusion of two poems by the /Xam poet Diä!kwain. And with the third AVBOB Poetry Competition launching on August 1 and running until November 30 2019, the poets, and people of South Africa will once again be able to take up pencil and paper, mobile and laptop, and craft poems that connect us one to the other , and offer us comfort and consolation," said Rademan.

Competition entrant Gregory Jumanji confirmed this with a tweet: "I feel like the poetry is inside my bloodstream. AVBOB really saved the nation with this one."

The anthology can be ordered at www.naledi.online or 078 648 8616, and is available from most bookstores. Alternatively, SMS the word 'poem' to 48423 (at a standard cost of R1.50 per SMS) to have it posted to you at a total cost of R220.

#CocaCola launches energy drink in South Africa

Coca-Cola South Africa has launched an energy drink called Coca-Cola Energy. The drink, available in a 300ml can, contains caffeine, guarana extracts, B vitamins, and no taurine – available on all major retailers at a recommended selling price of R15.

"Coca-Cola Energy includes ingredients from naturally-derived sources and a delicious and refreshing taste of Coca-Cola," says Stephan Czypionka, marketing director for Coca-Cola Southern & East Africa.

"We kept these two qualities at the heart of how we developed the recipe and are proud to offer it under the CocaCola brand, inviting people to try a new and different energy drink designed to complement upbeat and busy lives."

The Coca-Cola Company first introduced Coca-Cola® Energy in Europe in March this year.

Designed for the younger market (18-35), it will not be promoted to children under 18, no sampling in proximity to primary and secondary schools, and never promoted to mixing with alcohol.

We are the #SowetoDerby so let's savour the moment! #FridayFeeling

It might not be a competitive fixture to set the tone for the new season, but the annual off-season Carling Black Label Cup tomorrow at FNB Stadium gives Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs a chance to showcase their new signings.

And what better way to do so than by giving the newbies a run in the massive fixture that is the Soweto Derby. The two giants have made marques acquisitions and many can't wait to see them in action, pitted against each other in the biggest match-up local football has to offer.

This may not be the real thing, which only starts in two weeks' time when the league kicks off, but there is no denying the excitement around the match .

We urge the fans, passionate as they are, that it is only a game and let everyone enjoy themselves.

Being #unemployed is never easy but don't lose #hope! #Inspiration

To all new graduates, please note that the world of employment is a jungle: you can either eat or be eaten. Unemployment is real and can deter your hopes and dreams if you are not strong but never give up.

There will always be those who say, "They have graduated, let us see if they will gain employment."

But know that all employed people you see today were once unemployed, so it is a possible transition.

Patiently continue your search for a job and also volunteer if need be, just for experience. Sooner or later you will smile and you might even forget that it was once an uphill climb.

Nobody said it was going to be easy. The most important thing is that you are more employable than you were yesterday. Keep going.

The world has a habit of making a way for those who know where they are going.

Get more inspiration by soaking your mind in poetry. Get the Afro Poetry Times and let inspiring poems whisk you away to greatness.

Get #shopping in the comfort of your home & have your groceries delivered in an hour. Thanks to #Zulzi

Zulzi, an online delivery platform which allows customers to order from retail stores such as Woolworths, Pick n Pay , Spar, Dis-Chem and Clicks and have their goods delivered to their doorstep within an hour, is the brainchild of entrepreneur Donald Valoyi.

The Zulzi app also has a database of clients' information, including grocery items frequently requested. Customers are charged a R45 delivery fee and a 7% charge on the price of groceries bought.

Valoyi said: "The company started in 2012 as an e-commerce platform where we sold books and electronics to students. In 2016 we changed our model by focusing on delivering liquor, restaurant takeaways and groceries. After a year of operating we focused on groceries because they had more potential."

The 34-year old former software developer admits that starting Zulzi came with challenges.

"The most difficult aspect of starting a company is funding. You start a business to generate money, but along the way you realise you need more capital to take your company to the next level. Families play a key role in supporting you financially and emotionally. So many businesses are funded by families, even though some entrepreneurs don't come from families with capital," he said.

Valoyi urged aspiring entrepreneurs to stay fierce and hard-working.

"You just have to start. It is not an easy journey. What you are fighting for has to be big enough for you not to sleep at night. Build a product for the future by finding a niche. Always look to other countries in the First World. Look at what they do differently that side. The world of internet is very connected. Countries like China and India have intelligent entrepreneurs who keep on cracking their own market, so it is difficult for foreigners to break through."

Zulzi has a staff complement of 70, including 50 personal shoppers.

Team leader Michael Nyathi said: "I enjoy and love my job, even though it comes with challenges because sometimes you find yourself doing multiple orders with limited time, but I eventually make it on time."

Zulzi is available in Johannesburg and Cape Town and will be launching in Pretoria in August.

Harvesting #energy from walking is the new trend!

Chinese researchers have developed a device that can harvest energy from its wearer's knee and generate 1.6microwatts of power while the wearer walks at a normal speed without any increase in effort.

The study published in the latest edition of Applied Physics Letters described the device that can power gadgets like health monitoring equipment and GPS devices.

A group of researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong used a smart macro-fibre material, generating energy from any sort of bending to create a mechanism similar to the slider-crank used to drive a motor.

Every time the knee flexes, the device bends and captures the biomechanical energy.
