Northlands girls taxed with knowledge

Three Northlands Girls High School accounting pupils were invited to the PKF Non-Budget Breakfast presentation, where taxes and South Africa’s economy were on the agenda. The breakfast, which was hosted by accounting firm PKF, took place on Thursday, 20 February, came a day after the national budget speech was postponed.

Subhadra Naicker, Priya Naidoo and Amakha Ngcobo, engaged with PKF’s team of chartered accountants and interns. They also learned about the serious tax implications that are associated with changes made in parliament.

Naicker said it was an enlightening experience as they received valuable insights into how government revenue is generated through various forms of taxation, as well as the recent proposal to increase VAT to 17 percent. “We also learned about the process of audits, including real-world examples, which ensures that financial records are accurate and that taxpayers comply with regulations. Additionally, the discussion on tax compliance and its role in national development reinforced the importance of fair contributions from citizens. Overall, the seminar deepened our appreciation for the complexities of finance and the necessity of transparency in budget planning.”

Naidoo said she received valuable insights into matters such as tax issues and their impact on the economy, and the workings of the budget in terms of revenue versus expenses. Additionally, there were many real-life examples of how revenue is generated in South Africa through tax and foreign investments from America and other countries, insights as to how the government uses the revenue to cover expenses and many changes to help encourage stimulus in our economic systems. “We learnt about planning to use our income - as taxpayers - wisely; to invest and save for our futures,” she said.

Ngcobo added that this breakfast helped to know South Africa's financial budget and VAT status as all this contributes to daily lives both negatively and positively. “It helped enhance our understanding in accounting and we attained insight on various aspects in the accounting field. This ranged from the different careers to the challenges that accountants face in their line of work,” she said.

Scouts celebrate Founder’s Day

In celebration of Scouting founder Lord Robert Baden-Powell on 22 February. To celebrate this special day, two of the school's youngest learners, Jia and Juhina Sharma, dressed in their scout uniforms and shared their enthusiasm with the school community.

As members of the 57th Trafalgar Sea Scouts, Jia and Juhina have been actively involved in scouting since Grade 2. They eagerly shared their experiences with the school, highlighting the exciting activities they've participated in, such as beach cleanups and mangrove visits.

The school emphasised that Founder's Day is an opportunity for scouts to showcase how scouting prepares them for life. Scouts were encouraged to wear their uniforms or SCOUTS SA branded t-shirts to school, work, and in the community to share their positive scout energy.

By celebrating Founder's Day, Glenashley Preparatory School acknowledged the importance of scouting in developing valuable life skills and values in young people.

Shorttkilla takes music world by storm

Durban North songwriter and dancer, Nhlanhla ‘Shorttkilla’ Nyathi aims to trail-blaze the music industry and build on his most recent track Kwenzakalani (What Happens).

Nyathi, 16, released the song last year and said: “The song was talking about me and my journey. I wanted to share my life’s journey with a groovy beat that could attract many listeners. The song name wasn’t planned and just came up when I had to release it.”

Nyathi said that his artistic talents began with writing music at the age of nine. He followed this up with dancing a year later. During his budding career, Nyathi has collaborated with established artists such as Ntosh Gazi - famous for his track ‘John Vuli Gate’ - as well as Flash Ikumkani and Johnny Bravo. “Working with Flash was fun because he had previous experiences with Emtee and other artists in the hip hop industry. He was fun to work with, very laid back and I was not nervous at any stage.”

During his spare time, Nyathi spends time investing in his music by learning how to produce music or edit videos. Alternatively, he plays football and is the owner of 7sk_world - his own clothing brand. Nyathi is determined to have a music career and said that’s all he wants to do. Tied with this determination, he said whenever he creates music, he always puts God first.

Nyathi is the oldest child and has three siblings. He praised his family’s impact and said: “All of my musical success so far, has been through the help of my family - especially my father and manager, Kris Kudah.”
