commemorate the 46th anniversary of

G

auteng Premier David Makhura joined the provincial Youth Day commemoration in Soweto on Thursday, 16 June 2022, observed under the theme: “Promising sustainable livelihoods and resilience of young people for a better tomorrow.”

The provincial commemoration programme was staged at the historic Morris Isaacson High School which was preceded by a wreath laying ceremony Hector Pieterson Memorial.

The formal programme of the Youth Day commemoration saw the Gauteng Provincal Government pay tribute to the great sacrifice made by the fallen heroes and heroines of the 1976 Soweto Uprising, while also engaging with the youth of today and celebrating the 30th anniversary of the iconic film Sarafina!

“We here to celebrate the 46th anniversary of the 1976 youth uprising. The day is about yourselves as young people so you can shape the future you want. We are also celebrating the Hector Pieterson Museum that is turning 20 years in existance and 30 years of Sarafina.” said MEC Hlophe

Premier Makhura also unveiled the Gauteng Youth Advisory Panel and the Gauteng Youth Development Strategy 2030 on Youth Day. The Panel will advise the Executive Council and provide independent oversight, advice, advocacy and serves as a platform for youth mobilisation on all youth development initiatives and empowerment in the Gauteng City Region.

The Gauteng Provincial Government has made great strides over the years to empower thousands of young people with bursaries, training and skills development programmes and opportunities for employment and entrepreneurship, through initiatives such as Tshepo 1 Million, the Innovation Hub Management Company, Ke Moja antisubstance abuse programme and DJ skills development programme and many others.

The day’s festivities concluded with dazzling performances by artists such as Boohle, Musa Keys and Costa Titch.

“Youth are important in every society, movement and community that is about the future." They are a social force for transformation, renewal and change by virtue of their energy of experimenting new things and they bring dreams and new skills on the table." said Premier Makhura.

While the youth of 1976 fought against an unjust education system and the brutality of the apartheid government, today’s youth activism is directed towards successfully tackling the challenges of poverty, unemployment, genderbased violence, substance abuse and suicide.

WHAT BEING

What young people face on a daily - by Hlamazi Khosa

oung people in South Africa are highly mobile, most notably from rural areas to urban areas. It is difficult to find jobs for those living in rural areas in comparison to those growing up in the cities. Young people work hard to improve their living circumstances, it’s like survival of the fittest.

Y

Most young South Africans rely on Student Loans and funding such as NSFAS to further their studies. Those who are unable to get such funding for their studies may end up quitting school as they cannot afford to pay for their studies nor accommodation if they are not living at home.

As a result of the pressure young people put themselves through to succeed, one little disappointment can bring them down and then find themselves in a state of depression.

Expectations from family members may be high because they are the child in whom they have invested all they have to ensure their success, and this adds on to the pressure.

My Boundless Opportunities -Dimpho Maboya

B

eing young in South Africa is kind of a bittersweet moment.

Bittersweet in the sense that many youngsters are not equipping themselves for the future.

There are those who have taken up the responsibility of building a bright future not only for themselves but for their future generations.

Those young people have also given me the enthusiasm and desire for a better future as a young person in South Africa. I was born in 1994, during the times of the referendum, the imminent start of the township wars. My siblings were already approaching teendom and on the edge of becoming some of the first black learners at previously white high schools. They were the first to experience a multi-racial atmosphere in its beginning.

One of the biggest ills of being young in South Africa is the overabundance of opportunities, resources and chances, which is often accompanied by delay and not having the will and drive to pursue your dreams. I experienced that before, because I used to tell myself that, “I am young, and I have all the time in the world to get my life together.

Was I wrong! I have learned that my peer’s home and abroad have been living their dream lives from a young age. They have fully embraced their youth and taken handfuls from the pot of success, but they have also worked hard for their spoils.

As a young person, I can comfortably say that we can all make it, just by changing our mind-set. I have a new train of thought and every time I picture myself, I see a young individual on the brink of greatness.

Democracy ushered in many opportunistic schemes aimed at making our lives better. They have made education so accessible and through student funding, most of my peers have been able to further their education. The chances are there for the taking, all we have to do is to apply ourselves and work hard. South Africa is now ‘in the hands’ of the youth.

We have to embrace our past, understand it and use it as a tool; a tool for correcting those social ills of the past. I have chosen to arm myself with knowledge and to grab those changes with both hands. I have been afforded the chance of growing up and the township and in an urban area, and ever since I moved my life changed. I began to yearn for a better life and set of living. I now longer fear taking chances because I know success or failure are imminent. I have truly embraced my youth and I will soon be a living proof that being youth in South Africa, has boundless possibilities.

Young people in South Africa create change -Siviwe Rozana

S

outh Africa is one of the major key countries in Africa and is well known of its antiquity and resources. Diversity and love are the meaning of our country where the nation unite as one. The experience of being a young person in south Africa is very challenging through factors of society like, unemployment rate, Gender-based violence, crime, and poverty.

Being a young person in South Africa is an honour even though there are challenges with the economy and the society, I still think there is hope for change and better life for all that live within our country. Young people find themselves seeking comfort in substance abuse.

On the other hand, there are many studies that show young people are optimistic about the future; they often try multiple strategies using lots of perseverance to get education and work. In the stories of young people highlighted in this Create Change, we see exactly this at work. Lots of resilience in the face of significant obstacles and ongoing attempts to create new opportunities and possibilities for themselves.

We get to choose how we see young people; whether it’s for their failures or whether that are trying their hardest to make good lives and contribute enthusiastically to building a better country.

If we can shift our perception, then we can start to take the everyday actions that will build real possibilities for these incredible young people.

Youth Day Word on the Street!

Kamogelo Moichela –

I

s June 16 still worth celebrating as a young South African?

Being on the streets to hear and have people's view on celebrating June 16 and the question was is it still worth the celebration?

According to people on the streets, June 16 is not valuable anymore because of how it is celebrated today. To them it is only a mere holiday that does not serve any purpose. They said the youth of 1976 fought a strong fight to make education fashionable and with a hope that the government will for sure step in and help the generation.

During interviews with students, Nothando Mweni said the meaning of Youth Day to her is that it is a holiday celebrated on June 16.

It honours the students that sacrificed their lives in order to fight against apartheid in 1976.

"To me, youth day reminds me of the students who risked their lives, fighting for their rights. Hector Peterson was one of those students that died that day, and his picture reminds me of that day. June 16 means that I should be thankful to those heroes that died because they fought for the rights that I have today," she said.

Mahlatse Kwanzaa Kalauba and Sisanda Magagula said there haven't been a lot of changes with the government improving the education system in South Africa. Kalauba said a typical example is that in high schools now the pass rates are much lower than and it decreases the chances of people getting university acceptance.

Adding to Kalauba's statement, Magagula said people have changed the whole idea of June 16. "Before they would wear their uniform, fight for things that are not changed by the government but now it's just a regular holiday, people are just doing things as if it were a normal day," she said.

She also mentioned that in terms of the educational system, it is still the same as what they were fighting for back in 1976 because people are still paying school fees, "yes there is NSFAS, but they still need to pay it back and it takes time to literally pay, so it has not changed."

Furthermore, students, workers and other graduates who are not working said Youth Day has no meaning anymore because now it is celebrated in taverns and pubs wearing their school uniforms and no one sees anything wrong with that.

.

I joined the department in 2016 as an EPWP worker in the Club Development unit. My contract was extended for an additional year in 2017 and in 2018 I became a Conditional Grant Coordinator for the Academies and High-Performance unit.

What’s your take about “being a young South African”?

South Africa offers everyone plenty of freedom of expression. What I mean by this is that we’re free to express our culture and personalities whereas in other countries you’d be restricted or looked down upon. Having 12 official languages just goes to show how inclusive our country is.

What is the one thing you would like to see change or improve in your work environment?

I’d like to see much more team building activities being implemented to build social relations amongst staff. We work Monday to Friday with one another but don’t know anything other than each other’s names and job titles. Recreational activities such a hikes, obstacle courses, painting lessons, and arts and crafts making would help to bring the people in the department together and create a better environment within the workplace What’s the one thing you can’t go a day without?

Greeting my dogs before I leave home

What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

3 Denim Trends That Will Never Go Out of Style

D

enim trends seem to go in and out of style all the time. While ultra-faded, floral and sequin jeans are now "out," other styles seem to be making a comeback (or staying just as popular as they have been over the years).

"Denim has changed so much. It was weekend, it was off-duty, it was very specific where and when you used your denim. We weren't going to work and office and everywhere, but now the global movement is we need denim for every occasion.

"The second thing is, all the fits have gone from fit and rigid and tight to much more relaxed. However, even though a lot has changed over the years when it comes to denim, there are three types of jeans that are the cornerstones of every denim wardrobe.

FASHION

The Straight Leg Jean “Basically, a straight leg is really that classic shape. Now, within that, you’re going to see them go long and have a little bit of a puddle at the bottom. You’re going to see them go shorter or cropped or ankle, but a straight leg jean is the cornerstone. It’s not going to change and you’re going to roll it up or wear it straight.

The Skinny Jean Skinny jeans are polarizing—you either loved them or you hated them. All the young people and a lot of older people are still wearing their skinny jeans. So, if you love your skinny Jeans and they look great, you’ve got to wear them.

The Flare Jean This is the other major, major trend, going for a pair that is fitted above the knee like a skinny or a boot-cut, but then flares out at the foot. “Flares lengthen you and make you look slimmer, longer and beautiful if it’s done with a little bit of stretch.

Here’s Why You Should Eat Oranges During Winter!

W

inter is the time when you can enjoy most citrusy fruits as they become sweeter and juicier.

Out of all the tarty fruits nature has to offer, orange is considered the best, especially when consumed during winters. It is not only good for your taste buds, but also for your health. As the temperature drops, our immunity levels go for a toss, our skin becomes dry and dull, and the digestive system becomes weak. Orange is one such fruit that ensures providing a healthy body and glowing skin.

According to the book 'Healing Foods' by DK Publishing, the rich vitamin C content present in orange may reduce the risk of heart disease, kidney stones and infections of all kinds. Moreover, it also helps boost digestion and comprises alkalising and detoxifying properties that help keep the body healthy. Let's look at why oranges should be eaten during winters.

Benefits Of Orange During Winter 1. May Help You Lose Weight Orange is a rich source of fibre, which is said to not just promote weight loss, but also improve digestive health. Soluble fibre keeps you fuller for long, thereby, preventing hunger pangs and overeating. This may further lead to less calorie intake, further helps in weight loss. Fibre also tends to add bulk to the stool, helping promote good digestive health. So, even if you like drinking orange juice, make sure you don't discard its pulp. Most of the fibre is present in the orange pulp.

2. Vitamin C Content May Boost Skin Health And Overall Health Your immunity system, skin health and digestive system become vulnerable during winters. Vitamin C in orange ups the resistance against certain pathogens while giving a boost to the immunity system. Topical application and intake of orange is said to nourish your skin making it look healthier.

3. May Reduce The Chances Of Developing Cold Cold is a condition that is common during winters.

One of the best ways to prevent a cold is to load up on oranges to ensure a healthy immune system.

According to a research, published in the Harvard Health Publishing by Harvard Medical School, vitamin C is beneficial when it comes to common cold.

Oranges are rich in vitamin C; hence, eating oranges in winters may prevent common cold.

25

According to a research, published in Science Daily sourced by the American Heart Association, eating citrus fruits, especially oranges and grapefruits, may help lower stroke risk. It is believed that the flavonoids in oranges provide protection against heart diseases. The benefits may include improved blood vessel function and anti-inflammatory effect on the body.

5. May Lower The Risk Of Kidney Stones It is the citrate deficiency in urine that may cause kidney stones. Citrate is citric acid that is generally found in citrus fruits like orange. A glassful of orange juice is generally recommended to patients with small kidney stones. Orange juice can up the levels of citrate in your urine, further reducing the chances of formation of kidney stones.

This winter, load up on oranges to ensure a healthy body, skin and immunity system.

Also, consult a doctor about using oranges as a safe aid for such health conditions.
