Being young in modern South Africa.


By DENGA RADZILANI


I believe being born in a free country was most of the greatest thing .Life is easy and everything is possible .We live in a country with lot of opportunities .In South African we can achieve anything ,whether we have money or not as long as we work hard there is free education. Public schools are free and they are many bursaries out there that fund tertiary institutions for all kind of student. I sometimes find it hard to understand why some people don’t further their studies and money shouldn’t be the issue.


We live in a free country where every child has a right to education. There is no longer corporal punishment in school. We are the once who decide what subject do we want to do. Everyone is free to do any career as long as you qualify in that institution. Gone are those racist days. Technology has changed my life in a different ways. It also has a powerful influence in my daily life .I have access in internet and social media. Without my cellphone life is meaningless because is my source of communication. Technology is changing the way i see thing everyday and without it life will never be easy.


The life of today need people who are informed in everything that is happening around the world .I find it easy because i get online read newspapers and other sources of information. Even though people think technology is corrupting our minds. It not easy to be a young because some of the things we do our elders don't understand forgetting that things are changing. We come across so many challenges when we are growing. We end up doing things that we regret later but the pressure from friends makes us do such. Am living in a country where they are high rate of teenage pregnancy, drug and alcohol abuse. Our parents are traditional people and they don’t give us support, guide and motivate us but still they want us to overcome those challenges.

 
Life is not easy if you don’t have money. Poverty is what we are facing everyday. Many of our parents didn’t get a change to go to school back then and they can’t provide our needs. Many can’t cope with the situation and they end up in hands of sugar-daddy. The leaders of tomorrow are destroying their future because of poverty. We are born free generation with rights but we don’t know our responsibilities. The rights we claim we know but still we are abusing them .We think we know all because we were born in democracy which is not true. We no longer have respected for other people even our selves.

 
South Africa is one of the best countries I know. Even though they are many challenges we are facing as youth of today but still we are living in a free country with possibilities to us as leaders of tomorrow.

Free education to all By Radzilani Denga   imported from African news On Friday the 23 of October  2015 President Jacob Zuma announced that there will be no fees increase in 2016. That's not the reason why students were striking because all they need is free education not what the government was proposing. In freedom charter everyone has a right to free education but still they are many students who struggling to get education because they can’t afford it. The Minister of Higher Education Blade Nzimande have enough time to come up with the solution to free education to all, but still nothing have been done. Early August 2016 the minister was unable to come up with the answer, whether they will be fee increase in 2017 as they can’t afford free education to all.

Government must come up with solution

Stop gambling with the future of this country Strikes in South Africa have become way of expressing anger and concern to the ruling government .In South Africa is a norm that in order for government to listen to the concern of the society they must be a violent strike. Public properties are destroyed almost every day in South Africa by people who are striking.  citizenstewart.org The #Feesmustfall campaign was all over the news in 2015 where universities student want 0% fee increase and free education to all. Universities's building were burned down even other facilities that was there.
