KEEPING CANCER AT BAY
About one in every four South Africans gets cancer during his or her lifetime. More than 80 000 die from cancer every year says the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA).
But the good news is that if cancer is found early, it can be beaten. Today, chances of surviving cancer are higher than they were 30 years ago.

MERSETA - 'WORK HARD AND THE OPPORTUNITIES WILL COME'
Men seem to like to give orders, while women prefer getting the job done themselves. This is one of the reasons why women are successful farmers, says Fhatuwani Ramabulana, the youngest female farmer and one of the most successful farmers in Limpopo.
Ramabulana, a well-known farmer in Venda, says farming is very tough and needs people who do a hands-on job instead of giving
orders from a distance.
FESTIVE FOCUS
CELEBRATE BUT WATCH YOUR SPENDING
Happy days are here again. It's holidays and a time when many people will spend money they saved during the year. It's good to buy gifts for loved ones and to celebrate, but people should be careful not to overspend.
TRANSFRONTIER CONSERVATION AREAS
The Transfrontier Conservation Area Programme sets up wildlife conservation areas across South Africa's borders into our neighbouring countries. People who live near these conservation areas are part of the programme. They get opportunities to become employed in jobs like game ranging, construction, or making and selling arts and crafts.
Don't lose your dreams
A study showed that about 31 per cent of South Africa's workers are part of what is called the informal economy.
This includes people who do not have the necessary skills to be in full-time, secure, jobs. They run small, informal businesses and lack money to make their businesses grow.

DIABETES - you can lead a normal life
Some call it 'sugar' or sugar diabetes, and others just call it diabetes. More than 200 million people worldwide have diabetes. In South Africa, there are about four million people with diabetes. November is Diabetes Awareness Month. During this time, the Department of Health will educate and make people aware of diabetes.
The South African Police Service needs support from government, business and especially communities, to report criminals and criminal activities.
A concerned parent in a rural area, for example, phoned the police's Crime Stop number to report a father who had been sexually abusing his 13-year-old daughter since she was 9 years old.
