Although the Youth of South Africa is the main target of this programme, I think the net should be cast even wider to include 'adult youth' (those who are between 35 and 40 years), and there is nothing wrong with this. There is precedence. Peter Mokaba was an 'adult youth', and led the ANCYL at the ripe age, above 35. Fikile Mbalula relinquished his position beyond 35. There are others. Anthony (Anton) Lembede held the executive position at 32 years of age in 1944, and became seconded to the National Executive Committe. He died at 33, unfortunately. He could have done more. Had he not been seconded to the NEC, which ferments fertile ground for possible succession into the National Executive Committee fold. Could he have stayed on like the two aforesaid gentlemen. Probably, yes. Why? People who have aqcuired experience and knowledge about the functions of, and operations in the leadership possess quality traits that must not be shed quickly. This does not promote fossilisation, but seek to encourage cumulative sharing of ideas with the sprouting cadre, which neccesitates age restriction in relation to position and power. It is myopic, then, to consider the empowerement of Blacks in segments. This duty should not be a preserve of people between 18 and 35 years old, only, for the emancipation of young adults. It is only fifteen year since the democratic dispensation. For too long, all black people did not have empowerment opportunities. A person who was born in 1979 turned 15 in 1994, and fairly, finished Grade 12 in 1997 at 18. University called for four years, and in 2001 he gets employment at 23, and this may be a testament for the very few. The majority remain unepmloyed, uneducated, and grossly poor. At 33, this person would have had ten years of working life, and this suffices a middle class lifestyle, on one hand. At 35, he is established and stable in his life. On the other hand, we have a plethora of problems that ravage our country socially, and they are known to us all. The NYDA should focus on people who never had opprtunities that reflect those of our illusory subject. However, the case is a contrast. People who lead, and benefit from youth programmes are those that have had it good in life, and continue to suck us more. The erstwhile Umsobomvu and its twin receieved news coverage for wrong reasons for the entire tenure of their existence. Young people continued to suffer in their presence. Adult youth remain the most deprived, today. They are deprived for being old, unemployed, non-eligible to receive suppport from the NYDA, and heplless. Attempts to create a survival net for these forgotten comrades pose a danger for us all. They are the ones who made the country ungovernable during apartheid, and most lost education opportunities, by default. Some of whose parents died and lost jobs in support of the struggle for this country, and for the establishment of ventures such as the NYDA. These people are the precurssors of our development, and we know this, and do not do anything to accomodate them in our fold as young professionals, and choose to sideline them. They are comrades in the true sense. We know them for throwing stones at the police and the SADF soldiers while we grow up, yet we shun them. People who were born between 1965 and 1976 form the bulk of the people who waged the struggle in the prescient 1980's, and they are many, and they are unemployed. However, the NYDA cater for only the 35 years old, and under. What should happen to these people?
