I think the Youth today will stand by their leaders even though they are missing the plot and the missing reasons why we are aspiring revolutionaries. I stand here today to declare to every young South African, that this wealth accumulation issue is a serious killer of our leaders and sadly now its becoming clearer that we are capitalist, every man for himself mentality is becoming evident. Therefore if we call ourselves, comrades to Dr. N.R Mandela, Rev. P Seme, Chief Albert Luthuli and the others, we would surely review our reasons to live rather that this lifestyle of wealth accumulation being justified because Julius is living it. Boldly I say South African youth leaders today are definately self centre and selfish in every nature, power drunk and i wonder when will they sober up to lay down their lifes for the people of this country. I always wonder if this youth lived in the time when young people were asked to stop their career pursuits and join UMKHONTO WESIZWE, would this self-centred power hungry, tender chasing youth volunteer for that task or would they even be equal to the task. We are a shame to even call some of the veterans comrades, cause we dont share the passion nor the purpose and counsel they have when they became part of the ANC.
Lastly to Julius and nabanye ogxowankulu within our beloved movement I say " If you want to change South African, sell all these unecessary material things, give to the poor, invest more of your money and resource to youth development, *please note I said your money, *I am sure that more youth will follow that pursuit and we will fight poverty practically and radically so. I am ashamed to call you my comrades, cause trully you are not. Andile w...@h! Mafa Mamber of SASCO MUT, Member of ANC & ANCYL WARD 88 Ethekwini Region SRC Member MUT - Faculties Officer.
