The man behind The Setsoto Soccer tournament
Arguably one of Clocolan’s best social events, the Setsoto Soccer Tournament has seen a tremendouse rise in popularity over the years and we can only see it attracting a bigger audience. We got in touch with with The Founder of the tournament, Mochini Micheal, for a chat about the tournament. Firstly tell us, who is Mochini Micheal? God fearing, hard working Clocolan born and bred guy. (laughs) How did the idea of the tournament come about? The idea came during a conversation with some colleagues in 2014, thinking about how we can make December better at home. Has the tournament met your expectations so far? in terms of support and growth? It has exceeded my expactations to be honest, so far it is one of the growing soccer tournament in the whole country. What kind of role can our community play in ensuring the tournament reaches it’s full potential? Support and being proud of the tournament, it is their baby. 2020, is the tournament happening this year? It’s unlikely at this moment as SASREA Act does not allow such events now, more especially with spectators. Which edition has been the one to remember for you so far? 2019 was the best for me. Where would you like to see the tournament in the next few years? Global, we want to attract clubs from all corners of Africa and the world one day.

Battles Over Water Are Stoking a War in Africa’s Sahel
The solutions aren't simple, and conflicts are on the rise. It’s time to wake up. On Global Day of Climate Action, VICE Media Group is solely telling stories about our current climate crisis. Click here to meet young climate leaders from around the globe and learn how you can take action. OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso — Across the region Maiga covers, political insecurity and climate change are leading to conflicts like these. Maiga’s NGO, the Communication Network for Pastoralism, operates in the Sahel. A semi-arid strip of land that skirts the southern edge of the Sahara, the Sahel spans more than 3,000 miles across the African continent. Desertification and erratic rainfall has been squeezing access to water and causing strife in communities with more and more frequency throughout the Sahel, impacting other countries like Mali, Niger and Chad. From 2003 to 2009, the Sahel was the site of what some regard as the first recent “water war” in Darfur, Sudan. Among other issues, access to water was at the root of the conflict, which led to a genocide of 400,000 people. Over the last 10 years, the western portion of the Sahel has descended into its own dispute, and terrorists linked to the Islamic State and Al Qaeda, as well as local terrorist groups and bandits, are exploiting these conflicts to recruit fighters. They are also ramping up a war against local governments, the United Nations, and forces from the United States and France. More people have already died this year in some Sahel countries than in the whole of last year, and this will likely get worse. source : vice news
Editor’s words
Another issue out and our main focus should be on the state of our waste treatment plants. The problem as we will get to see as the issues role on are everywhere in South Africa. Waste is a big problem and if not dealt with right away, it will cost us more than money to fix. We have to urge our local leaders to tackle this issue as an emergency, and if you do not see it as such, look at how are animals around these waste filled places are looking, a lot of people will loose their cattle and a lot more people will develope major health concerns in the long run.
