Poem: A Youth Day poem

The June 16th dawn, a somber hue,
Young hearts ablaze, a fearless view.
A march of hope, a vibrant call,
For freedom's dawn, standing tall.

Through streets of strife, they bravely trod,
Their voices raised, a faith in God.
A nation's dreams, a burning fire,
Fueled by their courage, reaching higher.

Though bullets flew, a chilling sound,
Their spirit soared, on hallowed ground.
A legacy forged, in blood and tears,
A lesson learned, through passing years.

Today we stand, in unity's embrace,
Inspired by them, with hopeful grace.
To build a future, strong and free,
For generations yet to be.

2021 Youth Day

Youth day commemorates the Soweto Uprising, which took place on 16 June 1976, where thousands of students were ambushed by the apartheid regime. Every year, June 16 is considered to be the day where us as South Africans pay tribute to those who lost their lives during that year. Youth day is very important to some of us as the youth as it educates us about the struggle that our grandparents went through to give us a better future. 

We need to honour our beloved people who lost their lives that year by educating ourselves about the history of our country and celebrate the beauty of it. We should also celebrate young women as they're also leaders of tomorrow... We as the youth need to start standing up for what we believe in and stop bottling things inside us that leads us to committing suicide. The youth needs to know that their voices matter as much as these voices come with responsibilities. 

Let's all stand up and fight for what's right and what we need and not what we want. Let's all make our parents proud. Let's all make ourselves proud.

Benjamin Mbana wat in 2012 ’n BComHons (Belasting)-graad behaal het en wat die 2014-wenner van die Suid-Afrikaanse Ernst & Young (EY) Jong Belastingspraktisyn van die Jaar (YTPY)-toekenning ontvang het, was in Desember 2014 in Amsterdam aangewys as die wenner van die 2014 Internasionale EY YTPY-toekenning, is 'n rolmodel vir almal wat uit moeilike omstandighede kom.

Ten spyte van al die terugslae in sy lewe, het hy uitgestyg in die lewe. Hy sê: ‘Sukses is ’n reis, nie ’n bestemming nie. Jy is die eindproduk van jou eie besluite. Jy kan niemand anders vir jou omstandighede blameer nie.’

Mnr Mbana het ook gesê dat ’n mens passievol moet wees oor wat jy doen en dat passie ’n algemene kenmerk is van mense wat as suksesvol beskou word.

Die Direkteur van Biblioteekdienste, mnr Robert Moropa, het met mnr Mbana saamgestem en gesê dat hy ’n merkwaardige jong man is wat nie sy tyd en energie verkwis het deur sy ouers, onderwysers, die regering of sy agtergrond en omstandighede te blameer nie. Die jeug kan van hom leer om vir hulself doelwitte te stel en dit met passie, dissipline en toewyding na te streef. ‘Suid-Afrika het ’n behoefte aan jong rolmodelle soos mnr Mbana wat hard werk en goeie resultate behaal,’ het hy bygevoeg.
