Youth Day commemorates the thousands of young people from Soweto who took to the streets in 1976, to protest against a directive from the then-Bantu education department that Afrikaans had to be used as a medium of instruction in secondary schools.North West resident Anita Mkhabela,25, who recently graduated from the University of Zululand, said even though she was hopeful about the future, whether there was a future for the country's youth remained to be seen.
"This is another serious problem in our communities that needs to be addressed by working together to fight against crime. We need to protect one another. Only then will we be able to further our lives in this world. I still believe South African youth have a place in this world. We just need to shift our mindset," she added.
"It's what is holding this country back. Fuck the colour of your skin. We are all here on this earth for a purpose and we all just want to succeed in life. What does the colour of my skin have to do with how I want to prosper in life? It makes me angry that still today, I am treated differently than my coloured and white friends because I'm black," Letwebe said.
"The older generation in power must go. We cannot continue to be led by those who only see things from their side. A fresher and more younger outlook on life is how this country will possibly move forward.""Social acceptance was never the prime foundation of one's life, but having a roof over your head, food and water was.
