New-year resolutions herald new beginnings

As we begin the New Year, it’s time to focus on the year ahead. Vuk’uzenzele caught up with a few South Africans who shared their New Year’s resolutions with us.

Jabu Dludlu, Standerton 
My resolution for this year is to focus on getting a better job so that I can buy my own house soon. It is a dream of mine to be a home owner.

 

Martin Joyce, Belview East
I plan to make time this year to enjoy my life more and to do my best to live and lead a happier, healthier life. We often get swept up in what we want but don’t stop to be grateful for what we already have. 2014 is my year to reflect and uplift myself.

 

Sufaya Adam, Isipingo
My New Year’s resolution is to spend less time on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, BBM and Whatsapp and spend more time actually enjoying and experiencing life in person with real friends.

 

Sya van der Walt-Potgieter
This year I want to, more than ever before, make every second count and not waste my time on the small things that at times seem to overshadow the more important aspects of life.

 

 

Ziyanda Mdokwana, Soweto
In 2014, I plan to further my studies and gain practical experience in the beauty industry. This is a stepping stone to me one day owning my own beauty salon. My future begins now.
