The youth of 2010



If the youth of 1976 look at the calibre of young people today, would they be proud? Would they say we have lived up to their legacy. They fought for the freedom we have today, are we using it the right way?

How have we used the freedom they made possible with their bravery? To party and become stinking rich through ill gotten tenders? If Tsietsi Mashinini and Onkgopotse Tiro would look at today’s youth would they be proud of us?

This is the time to seize the opportunities and make the youth of ’76 proud by giving to this generation our time and skills to make South Africa and Africa a better world. When the youth of 2020 look back over the years, they should say the youth of 2010 have given us compassion, service and dedication.
