Newchallenges,samedetermination:Youthreflectsonfuture

As SouthAfricacommemoratesYouth Day today(16 June), questionsremainabout the role,ambitionand activism of today’syoung people.While theyouth of 1976 arerememberedfor theircourage anddetermination in the fightagainst apartheid, some oldergenerationsbelieve today’syouth arelessdrivenand committedtosocialchange.

To explorethese perceptions, People’s Post askedyoung people whethertheybelieve their generation is unfairly judged,and invitedolder SouthAfricanstoshare theirviews on whether today’syouth arelessambitious or simply navigating adifferentset of challenges and opportunities.

. LorinMitchell said shehas respect forthe youthof1976because they “put their livesonthe line”for abetterfuturefor today’s generation “I don’tthink my generation necessarily lacks drive; we’rejust fighting completely different battles.Backthen, theenemy wasclear and rightinfront of them.Today,we’re dealingwith amassive surgeofunemployment, thecost of living is waymoreexpensive,and trying to breakintoa worldthatfeelsstacked againstus economically andstill trying to become ourown person whilenavigatingthrough life.Ittakes a differentkindofgrittokeeppushing forward when thefuturefeels this uncertain. We’restill driven to change things;we’re just trying to survivethe system we inherited first.”

. Shanaas Johnson said:“We aregrowing up with differenttoolsand pressures, student debt,housing costs, weak economy, social media. Idon’t thinkweare less driven.I think thebattlefieldchanged andit’smoredifficult to have things like jobsecurityand buying a house. So,I’d say: notlesscommitted, just committeddifferently.”

. Joanne Meyer said:“Idon’t thinkitis aboutbeing more or less ambitious, butrather that theambitiontoday maylook different. It canbeseen as less collectiveand more individual. Many youngpeopleare highly motivated

andare making deliberate decisionsabouttheir future- prioritising development, stabilityand wellnessand leveraging technology.Young peopleare seekingsustainable growth,meaningful work andcareer/lifebalance andintegration Theirambitionisverymuchpresent.”

. AaminahMuhamud said:“Ithink this idea comesfromcomparing twoverydifferent realities, anditdoesn’t tell thefullstory.The youthof1976foughtina visibleand united way, whiletoday’s youthfacechallenges like unemployment,inequality,and limited opportunities. Young people todayare still driven andhungry forsuccess. Many are eagertofurther their educationand build skills,but they don’t always have access to theopportunities they need.I thinkit’s nota lack of commitment, butoften a lack of opportunity. Theresilienceisstill there, andwiththe right support,theycan create meaningful change.”

Thespiritofyouth activism is stillalive,it simply looksdifferenttoday.It’sall aboutperspective,and it begins with parenting, whereby parentsare failingtoteach theirchildren (teens) howtogrow. Idon’t believetoday’s youthare less driven than theyouth of 1976 Thedifference is that we face differentchallenges.Manyyoung people arepassionateabout creating change,but they arealsoaffectedby issues such as unemployment,poverty,crime, substanceabuse,and negative influences within some communities.”

. Judith Baxolile Gwala said:“They are ambitiousbut in differentwayscause they do theirthingsindifferentways, butifyou look at what they are fighting for, they also want freedom andtobeheard ,and if they arenot listened to they find away of fighting forwhat thinktheyare deserving, howdothey fight they wouldblock somethings that they know it will make whoeverisincharge. They stillforce things.”

. KwakhanyaZweni said:“Ibelieve today’syouth arejustasdrivenasthe youthof 1976.Wefacedifferentchallenges,but we are stillpassionateabout creating change.Weuse differenttools, such as technology andsocial media, to raiseawareness, supportour communities,and fightfor abetterfuture.

. Joslau Baron said:“Ithink that today’syouth maynot be ‘lessdriven’,but we definitely have it alot easier than theyouth of 1976.Thatwas during theyears of apartheid. Andthatwas acompletelydifferenttime. Thereweredifferent rulesand expectations from certainpeople. Youth, especially youth of colour,wereforcedto fightand even diein thenameofchange. They hadtofacediscriminationand mistreatment.Theydidn’thave access to theopportunitiesand lifestyles of the whitecommunity

“There weren’tthatmanyjobsand different ways of income like thereistoday.Peoplewere forced to work in ordertosurvive.Young or old, they were focusedonsurvivaland freedom.So, do Ithink we arelessdriven? Yesand no.But only becausethe youthofthattimefoughtfor theyouth of ourtime. They shed theirblood, sweatand tears.

Forustohaveaccess to opportunities, freedom, andchangethattheywerebannedfrom most of theirlives.The youthoftoday still have battles to fightsure. Butwedon’t have to paywithblood.And ourvoicesare more easily heard.

“The youthof1976foughtharderand hada heavierprice to paythanwhatwehave. We are less driven if youcompare us to 1976.But that’s only becausenot even half of what they hadto do,isexpectedorneeded from us.”

. Kian Jordaan said:“Idon’t thinkit’sfair to sayyoung people todayare less driven than theyouth of 1976.Backthen, theyouth were fighting apartheidand standing up againstvery clearand seriousinjustice,which took alot of bravery. Today’syouth deal with differentproblems,and they also show theirdrive in different ways Alot of it happens throughsocialmedia, community action,and speaking outonissues they care about. It mightnot always look the same as protests in thepast, butthatdoesn’t mean there’slesscommitment. In theend,each generation responds to thechallenges of itsown time,and both have shownthatyoung people canpushfor change.”

. Ambervan Rhyn said:“Idon’t think youngpeopletoday arelessdriventhanthe youthof1976. Thechallenges aredifferent, but thedesirefor change is stillthere Theyouth of 1976 fought forpolitical freedom andequal education, whiletoday’s youthare tackling issues like unemployment,mental health,inequality, climatechange, andaccess to opportunities.”

Everygenerationexpressesits activism in ways that reflectthe timestheylivein.

. ChristineKaye said:“Idon’t thinkambition is somethingthatbelongs to onegeneration or another. Everygenerationhas people whoare driven to make adifference Theyouth of 1976 facedverydifferentchallenges to thoseyoung people face today, and theirresponsereflectedthe timestheylived in Today’syouth aresimplygrowing up in a differentworld with differentchallenges and opportunities.

Everygenerationhas people whowantto create change,and hopefully each generation leaves things betterfor thenext.”
