Any political trajectory without a revolutionary youth voice is bound to fail,
the Azanian situation is no exception.It is against this background it should
concern Africanists when its youth voice is not being heard or perharps its
being drowned. T he current Youth and Student Festival is a case in point.
How on earth can a country which is struggling to pay school fees for its
tertiary students, host a jamboree just for the youth kiss each other. What is
making a lot of noise-is the silence for those who are supposed to speak for
the disadvantaged youth. Are we to suppose that our Paycos and Pasmas are in
support of this looting of state resources in the name of the youth. If they
are,how close are they to their constituencies.If they are not, what are they
doing about that.
It is unfortunate that in the situation the PAC finds itself in,its youth is
not a solution. One has only got to read the input in Paycogoogles - what a
turn off, the Mayihlome Lectures are not a solution either, as they are
obsessed with petty political issues rather than national issues.
Our youth have become paper tigers who feel that posting a comment on the
internet is enough to advance the cause of Pan-Africanism. We are desecrating
the memories of our heroes by quoting them out of context and do nothing about
their thinking and theories.
The Charterists are accelerating the gear of looting, the youth has been
targeted to deliberately confuse it. Masses have got no alternative. Shouldn't
we use this sites to conscientise our youth and organise them for an action?
To invoke Phokela : "Let's Go Back To Basics"
