Youth’s perception is worrying

When a white or an elderly person tries to correct things, they slap you in the face with a reminder that you are from the apartheid era and responsible for their present state

Editor
I am 100 percent in agreement with your readers.
Our people are taking advantage of the South African Constitution and misinterpreting everything, especially the Bill of Rights.
When a white or an elderly person tries to correct things, they slap you in the face with a reminder that you are from the apartheid era and responsible for their present state.
Little do they know that irrespective of colour or economics status, we all lost.
Some lost their marriages, their properties, their loved ones and everything we have worked for.
It is sad that there are adults who encourage our youth to think like this.
People are occupying other people’s properties and do not want to pay or move out.
Young girls are getting baby after baby and the government must pay grants and hand out free housing to all.
The lazy youth is destroying government properties and other people’s properties.
People urinate and litter anywhere in town and say they are creating jobs.
If these habits are left unattended the tree of democracy is withering slowly and only the trunk will be left in ten years time.
The government is the people themselves.
I do not understand why they should let down the party of their choice.
Zuma or no Zuma, if they do not correct themselves, conditions are going to worsen month by month.
