The Lost Youth of 1976

Tomorrow (16 June 2017) is Youth Day.

Before I continue, read the post I wrote for Youth Day 2015 – Nothing has changed what I wrote then, except that our country is now even more messed up than in 2015!

So, tomorrow Zuma, the ANC and other Party members will once again praise the lost youth of 1976 for their contribution towards the struggle, the fall of Apartheid, the fall of Bantu Education, the fall of  Afrikaans as medium in schools, etc., etc., etc.!

If the youth of 1976 were such heroes of the struggle, ask yourself the follow questions:

• Why is the education system of 2017 in such a mess?

• Why is it that schools where Afrikaans is still the medium of learning are still leaders in quality education?

• What have the youth of 1976 who should now be in their forties done to enhance quality of governance in South Africa?

• Why are you keeping a political bankrupt President and his party in charge of the country?

• Why are you turning a blind eye to state and public enterprise capture?

• You have spoken out and acted against Apartheid, why don’t you speak out and act against corrupt politicians and public officials of 2017?

• Why did you allow the destruction of everything that was good in South Africa?

• Why is South Africa more than 40 years after you “revolution” junk status?

There are still many questions but these will suffice, the answer to all these questions and many not asked is that you are a lost generation, just like the ANC is a lost political party and thus, South Africa is a lost country and civilization!

Enjoy your public holiday tomorrow, next year we will talk again and we will be just further into the junk!
