Fulufhelo

My name is Ndou Fulufhelo, I’m 25 years of age, currently residing in Louis Trichardt and studying Mechanical Engineering. I am a member of team ‘Cape Speed’ who successfully designed and produced the first Formula SAE car in South Africa to compete in the United Kingdom on the 11th of July 2012. * A bit of background about growing up: where did you do your primary and high school? I was born and raised in Nzhelele in a village next to Siloam Hospital called Tshithuthuni and that’s where I passed grade four before changing to Mopani Intermediate School to complete primary school. I then went to Thohoyandou Technical High School in 2000, majoring in Motor Mechanics and I matriculated in the year 2004. * Have cars always been your interest from childhood? Well I always wanted to own cars of my own at a young age, just like any other boy I guess, but as a kid I wanted to be

an actor or a TV presenter, presenting on YoTV or something.... The truth is that I chose Motor Mechanics over Civil and Electrical because most of my friends were doing Motor Mechanics... at the age of fourteen I hadn’t decided what I wanted to do for a living anyway. Attending a technical secondary school and learning about the anatomy of a car made me appreciate motor vehicles more. * Has engineering been the career choice? I only decided that I wanted to be a mechanical engineer in grade 12, after attending open days at various tertiary institutions. Prior to that my knowledge about the principles and concepts of engineering was very little so I couldn’t make a career decision. * Was there a plan B to engineering? Well, having a mother who is a health worker, I also considered being a doctor at some point, but I didn’t have the passion for it and I loathed hospitals. I

decided to pursue a career in engineering instead. * Was it a class-team project; was it a special project; or part of school work? As a final year student part of your requirements to obtaining a degree is to do a project. There are different projects handed to all the students doing their final year to choose from and each student chooses a project he/she feels comfortable with. The research centre I work for, Adptronics Advanced Manufacturing Technology Laboratory, reached out and made an invite to all the learners in Mechanical Engineering to be part of the Formula SAE car project. The students who were selected made it to the team based on their academic record and passion for motor vehicles. * Name of your degree/diploma, and level you are currently in, and the institution of study? I am about to complete my second Bachelor of Technology degree in Mechanical Engineering. I have already obtained a diploma in Mechanical engineering and my first Bachelor of Technology in Quality respectively, all completed in Cape Peninsula University of ... Continues on p2 Technology.

Frame Work Officials - Floyd and Lead Lady Slash recently broke up and the best part is he left her for a “yellow bone” FWO came back with a killer mix tape selling like hotcakes in Pretoria. Mac-Fam and this crew have a unity, when it comes to making music; they share studios and “other stuff”... Mac J, be careful Floyd is the new guy in town. An insider told us that Slash and Floyd are always arguing, which is affecting the crew performances. It seems feelings are still running high between them? So guys grow up or make up, because everyone can see you’re still into each other.

** 2012 EXTREME MAKEOVER, IS IT UNISWA? **

BEFORE

AFTER

Is this the African Dream? Our Boy Mizophyll recently got himself a makeover from cutting them dreads, losing the Turban and then Dresses to Uniswa Swagg. From Rastafarian to my Nigga, everything is NEW. It seems Ladies love the new Phyll, including me. Is he still a pastor because according to his Religion a couple of things are forbidden e.g. Meat, as you can see on the after picture he seemed to be enjoying his Cocktail J&A mix. Our Freestyle star is planning on releasing this year. Now I wonder if he is going to change his sound too. I wonder if he still knows where his Turbans are at, I want to try my luck and go down Luvuvhu River, I might find them. Mizo, you owe us big time!
