We at Hypa collaborated with Operation Fiela, alongside esteemed partners such as the Sol Plaatje Municipality, Frances Baard District Office, Department of Sports, Arts and Culture, and the Home Affairs Department, in the launch of the Tsoga Mocha Campaign.
This groundbreaking initiative, which loosely translates to "Wake Young People," took center stage at the vibrant Galeshewe Stadium on June 17, 2023.
As a company deeply invested in empowering youth from diverse and aspirational communities, we recognized the urgent need to align with this impactful endeavour. The Tsoga Mocha Campaign seeks to bridge the gap between services and information, bringing them closer to communities where they are most needed.
The primary focus of this event was to rejuvenate and empower our youth, especially those who have felt disconnected and marginalized within their communities, often succumbing to the influence of drugs and alcohol. Through a day filled with engaging activities and informative sessions, we aimed to reignite the spirit of our youth and inspire positive transformation.
A diverse array of organizations, including Mme Reka Thusa, Pathways to Change, Grassroots Edges, Blade Health and Wellness, Times Fitness Club, and of course, Hypa, seized the opportunity to share their services and valuable insights. Pathways to Change offered voluntary screenings for HIV and tuberculosis, along with other essential health services, contributing to the overall well-being of attendees.
The Sol Plaatje Fire-fighting Service took center stage, demonstrating preventive strategies for fire incidents, showcasing techniques for handling burning buildings, and imparting invaluable fire-fighting skills. These demonstrations not only raised awareness but also empowered youth with life-saving knowledge. Amidst these impactful activities, the stage came alive with performances by talented youngsters. Aspiring rappers seized the opportunity to showcase their skills, expressing how their passion for music keeps them engaged, steering them away from the pitfalls of substance abuse.
The Tsoga Mocha Campaign stands as a beacon of hope, embodying the collective efforts of our community to uplift and empower our youth. Through collaboration and dedication, we are fostering a culture of positivity and resilience, paving the way for a brighter future.
Join us as we continue to champion the cause of our youth, transforming communities one step at a time. Together, we can awaken the potential within every young person, empowering them to thrive and succeed.
