Youth Day must inspire youngsters to keep fighting - ANCYL
The ANC Youth League in eThekwini region says the youth of 2022 must face its biggest hurdle of youth unemployment head-on, like the youth of 1976 faced their fight against Bantu education.
Newly elected regional secretary Thulisa Ndlela says Youth Day should be a day young people should use to reflect on the heroism the then school children displayed and inspire them to press on and fight for their future.
He says there must be an improvement in the inclusion of young people in the mainstream economy so young people can get jobs.
"The courage that the youth of '76 says that they're challenges with must give us hope and must inspire us, the youth of 2022 who are violently opposed, we are at the receiving end of a violent economic system that breeds jobless growth and even when BEE numbers increase unemployment number increase.

"It is an economy that is as violent as the Apartheid police were back in 1976 against young people."
