Our young people have the potential to shape the SA that we aspire towards

It is almost as though the young people of this country do not have any ideas about how a South Africa that is prosperous can be achieved.

Here I am speaking about young people who are mostly unemployed and live in the townships and rural areas. It is a South Africa that is mindful of its past and is constantly working towards addressing it, ensuring that those who are still affected by this past are not stuck in a whirlwind of stagnancy.

It is my opinion that government and the many young people’s organisations have not done enough to mobilise and reach out to them. The most painful part is that while the majority of young people languish in poverty and squalor there is a small elite group of people who live luxurious lives.The main problems confronting young people are known. Chief among them are unemployment and poverty.

Other organisations only use the suffering of the poor to score political points and get publicity while others are fighting among themselves.Young people are a majority in this country and, as a natural consequence of their youth, they have the potential to create and shape the South Africa that we all aspire for.

That's bullshit. At no time in human history has any majority shaped the future. Not even the Russian revolution. The future has always been in the hands of the gifted individual.

Since SA is so good at being crooked, why not crook the Guptas into prison in SA?We know South African politicians have a fantastic ability to colour outside of the law in various shades of grey when there is some enrichment for themselves. If we can’t benefit from that wealth, could we at least benefit from that skill? What about WHITE MINORITY CRIMINALS who have been LOOTING this COUNTRY for years. I'm not defending the GUPTAS.
