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.

Youth Day 16 June

Youth day: What can we learn from the youth of 1976?

Me Mimi Makgitla:
one of the youth!

Youth Day is celebrated annually on 16 June as a reminder of the importance of the youth and their voices. Being a young person in South Africa is different for everyone, and there are a lot of factors influencing it. 

What Can We Learn From The Youth Of 1976?

Collaboration is important ...

Women can lead ...
It is important for you to have an engaging voice ...

Happy youth day

"Look at the sun, look how it shines for you." 

It's no secret that the world cares very little about young people even if we are the leaders of tomorrow. This is why if you ever want to be great  it has to start within you.  This goes to students specially. Ensure in your years of school you take advantage of any opportunity to acquire skills and good networking for your future for being skilled is one thing, securing a good life that benefits those around you as well is a different curriculum. Happy youth day.

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.

Youth Day

The Youth Day Derby 2020!

Welcome to the first edition of the Youth Day Derby 2020!

The Youth Day Derby is run by the South African Schools Debating Board (SASDB). The SASDB is a non-profit organisation that provides utmost training and competitions for debaters in the country from District, Inter Provincial, Provincial and National standards. International competitions as well!

This is the first time that the SA Debating board will be hosting such a competition. It is a British Parliament debate tournament in honour of Youth Day 2020! We will be debating in pairs of two (2) speakers in a team instead of the normal three (3) speakers in a team. It is an amazing opportunity for young speakers to learn and explore debating with speakers from different provinces at National level. Also a great opportunity for them to learn about the virtual hosting of a tournament. If you're interested in pursuing BA(LAW)/LLB after matrix, then this is your chance to learn now!
