Ncome learns from Youth Day

The Ncome Museum recently commemorated June 16 when schools from around the area gathered to listen to Seth Mazibuko who was in Soweto on that fateful day in 1976. Mr Seth Mazibuko said”the challenges faced by the youth today are no longer apartheid-related and one cannot compare the youth of 1976 to those of today because their battles are not the same, nor are the solutions.” He condemned people for dressing in school uniforms to mark Youth Day and then going for a drink. “This behaviour indicates a lack of understanding of exactly what this day is about and what it means.” He told the crowd that during that time he was sent to jail at the age 16, he never had time to be young.
