The quicker we realise that we are ONE, the better!!!! It is quite an explosive issue but I believe Youthzones have a very BIG role to play for us to embrace this. We have to move on!!!!!!!

Not only that the message on the shirt in the picture would irritate most of my friends but also irritated the real boers especially in Upington. Which simply means most of us South Africans haven't forgiven each other or try to come together/breaking the boundaries and try to embrace each other and move on as brothers and sisters. Is either fear prejudices or still stuck in the past. One of my black sisters in the kitchen in one of the restaurant in Harrismith approached me angrily saying why am I wearing that the shirt? Which I thought either she is angry at the real boers she working or they don't treat her nice etc. Which still back to the point of saying looking each other equal and come together as unit and respect each other we can get the best out of each other. My quote simply means we have to remember, honor the 1976 youth and remember to use that as platform to build a better South Africa as South African. Is not easy but we can do it as a country. Have our own pride. But that doesn't mean that you must not be happy with your own culture or forget where you are from or not being aware who you are (zulu or indian, sotho, afrikaner, english, shangaan ...) it just means we must simply have ownership of our country and look at it as one. Some might say it ideal situation but it is possible and starts with me and you.  It takes one person to change the whole world. If I can't change how do I expect South Africa to change.  Line is made out of dots. It takes one dot o make a line. Actions speak billion words.
