Silverstar hosts Educator Buzz for chess teachers





Learning chess takes focus and concentration, knowledge, understanding, and lots of practice – which means that teaching chess takes all that – together with a great deal of patience and many more skills. Recognising the great value that teachers deliver to Moves for Life Chess learners, the programme (https://www.tsogosun.com/citizenship/community/sport/chess) recently hosted Educator Buzz events for participating schools sponsored by Tsogo Sun properties.

Recently the first Educator Buzz event was sponsored by Silverstar (https://www.tsogosun.com/silverstar-casino) for 123 foundation phase educators from eight local Mogale City primary schools that participate in the chess programme – Mashudu, Avante, Randfontein, Nooitgedacht 88, Mohlakano, Paardekraal, Hartzstraat, and FJL Wells.

Anneke Potgieter, Director of Operations and GM of Silverstar, explains, “In addition to the ongoing educator training programme, the Educator Buzz events aim to empower, encourage, and uplift the chess educators, motivating them for the school year ahead, and helping them explore new ideas to keep education alive and exciting. They are also a great opportunity for the educators to interact with one another and to exchange ideas and success stories.”
The Educator Buzz event, held at Silverstar, included a short presentation by Moves for Live followed by a series of activities, games, competitions, and discussion sessions – which inspired much creative thinking, laughter and learning, and enthusiastic participation and interaction by the educators.

Adds Potgieter, “Silverstar has been involved in the Moves for Life chess programme with the local community since2013– and we are continuously impressed at the dedication, the willingness to keep learning, and the wholehearted involvement by the educators, who are contributing greatly to the learners’ skillsets through the chess programme. The Educator Buzz event was inspiring to us as much as to the educators and the programme facilitators.” She wished all the educators great success in their roles at their respective schools for 2018.
Seven of Tsogo Sun’s properties support the programme nationally in 49 schools, with 18 807 participating learners, 504 educators, and 16 tutors from local communities. The properties are Montecasino in Fourways; Gold Reef City in south Johannesburg; Silverstar on the West Rand; Mykonos on the West Coast and Garden Route Casino in Mossel Bay, both in Western Cape; Blackrock Casino in Newcastle in KwaZulu-Natal; and The Ridge in Emalahleni in Mpumalanga.

FLYING FISH CHILL LITE SETS DANCE FLOORS ALIGHT LITE BRUNCH COLLECTIVE



Recently launched Flying Fish CHILL LITE teamed up with Takkies for the latest Lite Brunch Collective, in the aim to find the perfect balance between fun, friends and fitness.
Geared towards the health-conscious consumer, Flying Fish CHILL LITE offers lower alcohol, 30% less calories, 35% less sugar and 35% less carbohydrates than the ever-popular Flying Fish which was SAB’s first premium flavoured beer on the market.
The Lite Brunch Collective held at The Royal on 29 April, is part of a series of events dedicated to likeminded consumers looking for a fun brunch experience with a health-minded difference. Hosted by TV personality and fitness fanatic, Zweli Dube, the event kicked off with a delectable brunch harvest decorated in Cuban Havanna theme, while guests were enlightened with tips on how to maintain a balanced lifestyle.
Renowned yoga instructor, Jasmine Sehlako, was first up to entertain the guests with her innovative take on a morning workout; the Beer Yoga range of exercises. Keeping entertainment levels high, Choreographer Takkies had the crowd tapping their feet as she lit the dance floor on fire with an electrifying dance class; Dancing in Heels. Bedecked in 2-inch-high stilettos, Takkies’ dance class showcases new-age dance moves and was the perfect example of mixing fun and fitness.
“Our concept behind the Lite Brunch Collectives is three-fold,” says Brand Manager of Flying Fish CHILL LITE, Tumelo Motingoe; “providing consumers with a lower-alcohol variant for moderate consumption; offering the same refreshing taste as the mother brand – Flying Fish; and finally, providing a healthy middle ground for those looking for a more balanced lifestyle.”
The introduction of Flying Fish CHILL LITE gives consumers a choice of healthier drinking options and is part of SAB and AB InBev’s commitment to increase their no- and lower-alcohol beers portfolio to represent 20% of the organisation’s global beer volume by 2025.
“Flying Fish CHILL LITE is all about mixing playful enjoyment with healthy well-being, and ultimately ‘Living your Zest life’ “, says Motingoe. “The Lite Brunch Collective event was a fantastic success, and we encourage the public to join the fun by checking our Instagram page, #FindYourChill, for ideas on the best places to brunch, healthy recipes and innovative brunch cocktails.”
