motivating<\/a> young people and learners to stay away from criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDolf invited members from the Abakhululi Prison Ministry to address the learners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dolf says he is happy with how the start of his outreach initiative began. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI believe the project that I am starting today made an impact and this won\u2019t be the last time, they have invited us again for a next event. So next time we will go bigger.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dolf shared with the learners that he too made wrong decisions and encouraged them to not allow their circumstances to define them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI grew up without a dad and was 12 years old when my mom died. My twin brother and I had to raise ourselves. We had to leave Cape Town, but I always told myself I want to return and plough back into the community. Today I am a qualified male nurse and a political student.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Capt Shaun Ruiters, Vispol Head from the Kensington police station, encouraged learners to not end up on the wrong side of the law. Emphasising that \u201cprison is not a nice place to be\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ex-offenders addressed the learners sharing their life choices that led them behind bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reagan Delaney from Ottery was 14 years old when he first became involved with gangsters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI would never stay at school past first interval. I never listened to my mother and teachers. I made fun in class, I thought I was funny. I chose to do it. People didn\u2019t tell me to do it. One day I ended up in Wynberg Magistrates\u2019 Court and they sentenced me to eight years imprisonment.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Delaney encouraged learners to make the right choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI want to encourage someone here today, if you want to become something in life, if you want to be the difference in your family, then start today to make right choices.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quintin Moos spent 20 years in prison. He was a member of the 26\u2019s gang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you want to realise your dreams then you shouldn\u2019t copy what others are doing. I was a copycat too and that cost me 20 years of my life. Prison is not your parents\u2019 house; there you have to wait for food. There they tell you when you must go to bed.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Melvin Thompson was in prison for 27 years and 9 months. He encouraged learners to stand out from their friends. He explains how his life changed through divine intervention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI assaulted a prison warden, and I was separated from the other inmates and that is where God spoke to me. The God that I serve renewed and transformed my mindset to make me understand how bad I was.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brandon Frazenberg encouraged learners by saying \u201csuccess will come but only if you discipline yourself\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Graham Solomons ended up in prison at the age of 34. He believes \u201cthe choices you make in life will determine where you will end up\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hazel Manuels, Principal at the school, says she is grateful to the group who came and motivated the learners. According to Manuels they face many social ills at the school and says learners smoking dagga and bringing these to school remain a constant headache. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manuels says she believes the testimonies of the men made an impact on the learners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michael Theunissen, Founder of Abakhululi Prison Ministry, says the organisation has been actively working in prisons and communities since 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Theunissen says their core aim is to prevent young people from ending up in prison. He says that was the message they gave learners at Kensington High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe want to prevent that they will end up in prison or become gangsters. We want them to fulfil their dreams and become the person that God wants them to be. I am happy with how the programme went here at this school. I believe there was change, you can\u2019t see it with the physical eye but with a spiritual eye you can see by the reaction of the learners.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dolf says he hopes to reach other schools in the area. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
