Activist, Seth Mazibuko has challenged young people to change of their own lives by getting involved in community activities.
Monday marks national Freedom Day. President Cyril Ramaphosa will deliver the keynote address at the day’s celebrations in Bloemfontein.
Mazibuko has encouraged the youth to create their own visions for the future.
“I’m challenging our young people. There’s a space for participation, involvement, and leadership. Let them be loud. We’re going to these local government elections. Let’s see young people taking leadership. They must not scream from the mountain. They must scream from the rivers of where people are. They must come in and work with communities. And that is where young people can see leadership. Young people should not be seeing leadership in Cape Town, Parliament and in big BEE deals and all that, they should be seeing, protecting this tree of liberation.”
