Drama group at Retshedisitswe Secondary School
The Drama group RADFS at Retshedisitswe Secondary School
created this remarkable musical drama, related to the
teaching of the dangers of HIV AIDS, as part of their
LO programme.
Title of Drama : Turning Scars to Stars
It deserves a much wider audience
|

Here are the notes of the truly inspirational teacher, MISS
P.N. KUBEKA, and some photographs of the work of the RADS
Drama group.
Picture of parents and a child who is soon to be left alone:
- One parent was infected and he/she infected his/her partner
- Both were very sick – no one could take care of
the other one.
- Suffering and pain which have gone through
- Financial problems :
- No one was working
- No fresh balanced food for both and a child
- Children have to drop from school in order to take
care of them
CHILD
- Affected – by sickness of both parents.
- Emotionally disturbed, worried, depression.
- Drop from school – performance no more good
- Take care of the household
- TEARS of child who is begging the doctors and scientists
and the world to discover the ‘DRUG’ that will
cure HIV/AIDS, which is killing the nation.
- Where will the child get warmth, happiness, hugs and love
from?
PICTURE OF ASCESSION OF LEARNER
(Forming two rows holding candles, singing and sad)
- Means children are tortured by HIV/AIDS
- Form a gathering – where they share their feelings
& fears of this monster.
- Symbolizes a mob which attends the funeral of the dead
(deceased) people, who are buried daily
- Candles – ray of hope

Conclusion
HIV/AIDS threatens to undermine the development targets for
health, child’s rights, and poverty eradication. HIV/AIDS
is destroying our families, communities, and the social and
economic development of our nation. Through Expressive Arts
work (music and drama) as part of the LO programme, learners
can develop an understanding of how they must live their lives,
to avoid the tragedy of HIV AIDS in their lives.
