Cdes, I like Sabelo think that we are taking this matter far. Yes education is needed and that cannot be a panacea to the problems facing the youth. You see capacity building does not talk to formal education only. However we must encourage our members to pursue the Back to School Campaign to arm ourselves with the necessary agility to confront the enemy but also to be able to read the environment that requires exposure to global forces that we seeks to interact with. I must say true to the course that this si a good start Tshepo and we should take it as an input that begin to do what we could call Self-criticism.
The bottom line Tshepo is that most youth and by translations our members in Townships are highly unemployed and the excuse is that they are not educated and hence I accept that the paper exposes the weaknesses in our movements to organise youth into Cooperatives and other forms of Community driven Projects that seeks to empower the very same youth. Having said so, cde Tshepo, it will be wrong for us to want to have a uniform approach to our different Zones and Branches, take an example of Stanza Bopape and Mahlambandlopfu. The 1st is township based with its own problems including the very same issue of education. The 2nd has its unique challenges and education is not a challenge as in Stanza. To Mahlambandlopfu is the support mechanism, as most youth are Tertiary based or young workers. Therefore we will input on your paper to enrich it for further engagement maybe as we move towards the Regional Conference in Tshwane. I will forward my input by latest weekend. Once more thanks for the input. Cdely, Tom Mutshidza >>> Lwandiso Matoti <[email protected]> 2010/02/17 01:47 PM >>> cde sebata, I have to say that your document is good. It has a lot of use full information. I for have been asking the myself the same question. On educated leaders i think that it would be unfair to base leadership on a certificate. I do not think leadership is necessarily dependent on one's level of education. I however somewhat understand where this comes from. What I would suggest is that we should encourage people to broaden their knowledge at all time when possible. I think we should encourage those who do not have metric certificates to get them and those who have to further their studies. I am hoping that our leaders in branches, regional and national will look at this document and they will not take it as criticism. But as a very good suggestion and a way forward. Another thing that i feel needs to be looked at is the visibility of these branches. It is a mission to get a ANCYL branch. Tshepo, which branch are you in? I am looking forward to hearing what the masses have to say. On Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 12:52 PM, sabelo gina <[email protected]> wrote: > For your first document, you did well.
