Today marks the beginning of youth month. A month that played an important role in the liberation of our struggle for freedom. However, years after the June 16 Soweto uprising, the youth of South Africa still faces so many hardships. “
“Do you think there is a difference between the youth of 1976 and the youth of today?” Asks Thomas and Skhumba on The Morning show.
Thomas adds: “Think about how many young people own businesses now and how many they employ. Maybe let’s start from that point looking forward. The youth of today are doing amazing things but they don’t get the credit that they deserve.”
Vuyo from Vosloosays the difference between the youth of today and the youth of 1976 is that “we lack a fighting spirit. However, “we are a little bit privileged because we are living what the youth of 1976 fought for.”
Anonymous feels that the youth of 1976 was more united and they had one voice and one vision. “The youth of today, I know they are more woke, however, they are leaning more on the cancel culture behavior, which is not really ideal.
“The minute one of them becomes successful, they want to dig and try to pull them down,” she explains.
