REACHING GENERATION Y
REACHING GENERATION Y
REACHING GENERATION Y
Teaching youth to take risks wisely
Generation Y has been described as ambitious and materialistic, impulsive, impatient, seeking instant gratification and relying largely on luck – not characteristics associated with wise decision-making.
But luck is really being surrounded by people who care and having the right information to make informed choices in living life responsibly. This is the message that the National Responsible Gambling Programme (NRGP) is bringing to Generation Y through a series of intervention workshops in Durban, Rustenburg, Witbank and Polokwane entitled “Taking risks wisely”, all aimed at 18 to 35-year olds.
Explaining the reason for the workshops, Ms Nana Magomola, Executive Director of the NRGP explained “without the benefit of age, many young people lack the wisdom that is needed for making risky decisions. Through our series of workshops the NRGP aims to discuss some of the common risks they will encounter in life, to better understand these and equip them in managing life’s choices. Understanding the consequences of choices they make could prevent them from experimenting with drugs, gambling, alcohol or risky sexual behaviour.”
While showcasing the effects of risk-taking in general, the workshops place specific emphasis on gambling and tackles issues of debt and money management, and the fact that excessive gambling does not lead to wealth. Instead it impacts on their health, their jobs, their relationships and financial wellbeing.
In addition to receiving advice from experts and motivational speakers, an interactive play helps the youthful audience to see, through edutainment, why it is important to assess risks carefully. “The workshops deal with concerns regarding financial health and wellness, and emphasises the endless possibilities for youth in our country” Ms Nana Magomola concluded. “Edutainment is a far more effective means to reach Generation Y than preachy lectures.”
A 2004 survey, “A Profile of Youth Gambling in South Africa”, conducted by the University of theWitwatersrand on behalf of the National Gambling Board, confirmed that although casino gambling is rare amongst youth given the controls in place, a fairly large number of young people do gamble, mostly amongst themselves on informal games. This finding is consistent with other local and international research which shows the propensity of adolescents to risk-taking generally, partly because the mechanisms for self-control within the brain are not yet fully developed.
Prevention of problem gambling is the main thrust of the NRGP. This means, in addition to treating people with gambling problems, they also seek to ensure that those who gamble will be able to make fully informed consumer choices by having a good understanding of the dangers involved in gambling and how to avoid them.

Sexpo scoops sultry top International
songstress for an exclusive
performance
- Kaya Jones
Sexpo is pulling out all the stops for their next event, featuring an international performer whose gorgeous looks are matched only by her extraordinary talent. Kaya Jones, one of the founding members of smash pop-sensation The Pussycat Dolls will be treating Sexpo audiences to some of her solo hits, such as the knockout single “Release the Energy”, which is currently taking MTV by storm throughout Europe and the US.
- Kaya Jones
Kaya has a solid background in the music industry. Mentored by R. Kelly and named by The Sex Pistols’ Steve Jones, Kaya was instrumental in developing the sound and style of the Pussycat Dolls, which went on to become one of the most popular girl groups in history. Since leaving the group Kaya has brought her own brand of energetic pop, sassy charisma and smoldering sex appeal to her fans, with solo hit singles including “Hollywood Doll” and “Take It Off”. She has put out two solo albums, “Confessions of a Hollywood Doll” and “Kaya”. Not one to rest on her laurels, Kaya has performed at several of the top clubs in Los Angeles and New York, sang backup for Mick Jagger on the Golden Globe winning song “Old Habits Die Hard”, and has developed Hollywood Doll, a line of exclusive dolls, fashion and beauty products for young girls. She has toured Europe with top Belgian DJ Regi, promoting their Platinum Top 10 single “Take it Off”, toured China in 2011 with the Hennessey Artistry Tour; and has performed at elite music events such as VH1’s Divas Live, VH1’s Fashion Rocks and MTV’s Rock the Vote. Her sultry beauty has put her on the cover of numerous magazines including Esquire, Maxim and FHM. But behind the pretty face is a sharp business mind- Kaya is the youngest female in history to start her own record label, HueMan Race Records.
- Kaya Jones
This former Pussycat Doll also has a softer side. Kaya is passionate about human rights and performed for US troops during a 2 week tour of Iraq. She sang for, and met with, the soldiers in the war-torn desert, citing it as an absolutely life-changing experience. She is also a proud supporter of the LGBT community and equality, and has performed at many Gay Pride events.
CEO of Esterman.com, Mike Esterman, Agent for Kaya and many of the A-Listers in the USA, says “We are all excited about Kaya’s 1st time ever upcoming visit to South Africa and her exclusive performance at Sexpo”. According to Sean Newman, Marketing Manager of Sexpo, “We are thrilled to be hosting an artist of her caliber at Sexpo this year. We strive to make each Sexpo event more thrilling and explosive than the next, and seeing the utterly gorgeous and extremely gifted Kaya Jones perform is sure to give audience members a night to remember.
