Nelson Mandela het ges\u00ea: \u201cDie jeug van vandag is die leiers van m\u00f4re\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is vanjaar die 44ste herdenking van die Soweto-jeugopstand. Jeugdag word elke jaar op 16 Junie gevier en in Suid-Afrika is dit \u2019n nasionale openbare vakansiedag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ons word herinner aan die jong mense wat opgestaan het teen ongelykheid en onregverdigheid, maar Jeugdag gaan egter nie net oor die verlede nie \u2013 dit gaan oor die hede sowel as die toekoms. Dit is ons almal se toekoms, ongeag jou herkoms, kultuur, ras en geloof. Jeugdag moet gaan oor die soort samelewing waarin ons jong mense van vandag oor 20 jaar wil woon. Die jeug moet besef hulle het \u2019n verantwoordelikheid om ons diverse land op te bou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die tyd om hande in die lug te gooi en te s\u00ea Jeugdag het niks met my te doen nie, of ek is te jonk; wat kan ek doen, is verby. As jy nog nooit Jeugdag gevier het nie, is 16 Junie 2020 jou kans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Begin deur jong mense om jou in die o\u00eb te kyk as julle kommunikeer, want dit beteken \u201cek sien jou raak; ek erken jou as gelyke\u201d. Klein dingetjies kan lei tot groot veranderinge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jeugdag moet vir elke jong mens in Suid-Afrika \u2019n dag van besinning wees. Ons wil tog almal \u2019n beter toekoms h\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die jeug sal hul plekke in Suid-Afrika moet inneem en ons sal moet werk aan wederkerige respek, nasiebou, menswaardigheid, gelykheid en vryheid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kom ons wees die generasie wat die verskil maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
