As the country is set to observe
, some young people in Polokwane – where President Cyril Ramaphosa will deliver the keynote address at official celebrations – say they are concerned that the day may be losing its symbolism.Scores of young people are expected to converge at the Polokwane Cricket Club for President Ramaphosa’s address.“I think there is a need to celebrate Youth Day, but I think what our government needs to do is to give us more reason to celebrate this day. They need to open more opportunities for the youth.
Meanwhile, the Economic Freedom Fighters will hold its Youth Day celebrations at the University of Fort Hare in Alice in the Eastern Cape.Provincial Chairperson Yazini Tetyana says Malema’s speech will focus on issues affecting the youth. “He is going to touch more on the challenges our people are facing particularly young people; challenges of unemployment; challenges in education and the system. He is expected to address our people at 10 o’clock in Alice campus.”
It true because they are forgetting their own history and following money mongus parties and youth leadership captured by the name of money forget the youth struggle during apartheid regime.
Yes very true June 16 has lost its meaning after it was given the name youth day ,on this day many youth who are clueless will be wearing uniforms carrying bottles of liquor been drunk celebrating with so called dj so and so ,celebrating how best can they drink ,it is meaningless
It has lost it's meaning a long time ago.
True, but the majority voted that they accept it worsening that way for 25 years. gofigure
