Instead of June being a month where older generations critique the youth for apathy, the NYC provides an opportunity to support and empower youth mobilisation for change.
I borrow and slightly amend the call to action by Thomas Sankara to commend the efforts to mobilise for change by the young people of SA. For having the courage to stand up and be counted even when so many have overlooked and underestimated you. I remind you that no fundamental change happens without people who are willing to attempt the impossible. Have the courage to “turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future”. Because you truly are not the children of SA but the parents the country's future generations deserve.
