We have also prepared a warm meal and some cooldrinks for the kids here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_748efa0f\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9310\/c426b98760894ecb9b4958e46724b022.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/3df39962f16640178725a3903a0ed6b8.jpg\" title=\"Aspiring rapper Jody Albrecht says his aim is to encourage the youth through his music. \"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Aspiring rapper Jody Albrecht says his aim is to encourage the youth through his music. <\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9309\/5699cac9f1e64c29a2dd035da4be6706.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/ad9d984ae97549c3b9a017216c4a2ea6.jpg\" title=\"Various performers entertained the youth. \"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Various performers entertained the youth. <\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Albrecht said: \u201cSince joining the organisation I can now share my music with others.
