Celebrating Youth Month through legacy and action

Siya Kolisi singing the national anthem at the Cape Town Stadium. Today, Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika is intertwined into South Africa's national anthem, alongside parts of Die Stem van Suid-Afrika, symbolising 'unity' in a post-apartheid era, as declared by Nelson Mandela in 1994. Image: Ayanda Ndamane /Independent Newspapers June is Youth Month in South Africa, a time to honour the fearless spirit of young people who dare to dream, act, and shape the future. While we commemorate the historic uprising of June 16, 1976, when Soweto's youth stood resilient against an oppressive system, Youth Month is more than a reflection on the past; it's a call to action for today's generation. It's a reminder that your ideas, no matter how small they seem, can ignite change that will echo across time and borders. Take inspiration fromEnoch Sontonga, a young visionary whose creativity left an indelible mark on Africa. This Youth Month, let's ignite that same courage and drive in you to turn your ideas into reality. The Legacy of Enoch Sontonga, A Young Dreamer's Impact In 1897, a 24-year-old Xhosa teacher and choirmaster named Enoch Mankayi Sontonga sat in a Methodist mission school in Nancefield, near Johannesburg, and penned a hymn that would become a beacon of hope for millions of people across Southern Africa. He was born around 1873 in Uitenhage, Eastern Cape, and he was a product of the Lovedale Mission Training College, where he honed his skills as an educator and poet. At just 24, he composed Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika ('God Bless Africa'), a prayer for unity and liberation, initially intended for his school choir. Little did he know that his words and melody would transcend his lifetime, becoming a pan-African anthem of resilience and freedom. First performed publicly in 1899 at the ordination of Reverend John Hlengani Mboweni, the hymn gained traction when John Langalibalele Dube's Ohlange Institute choir sang it at the South African Native National Congress in 1912.

Next Stay Close ✕ By 1925, the African National Congress (ANC) adopted it as their official closing anthem, and it became a defiant cry against apartheid, banned by the regime for its association with the liberation struggle. After Sontonga's untimely death in 1905 at age 32, Xhosa poet Samuel Mqhayi added seven stanzas in 1927, deepening its call for Africa's redemption. Today, Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika is intertwined into South Africa's national anthem, alongside parts of Die Stem van Suid-Afrika, symbolising 'unity' in a post-apartheid era, as declared by Nelson Mandela in 1994. Beyond South Africa, its melody has been adopted as the national anthem of Tanzania (Mungu Ibariki Afrika), Zambia, and briefly Zimbabwe and Namibia, proving the universal power of a young person's vision. Sontonga, who died young and relatively unknown, shows us that age is no barrier to impact. His story challenges you to act on your ideas now, trusting they can ripple far beyond your immediate world. Sandile Mlangeni is a 2019 GP-based Activator. He is passionate about youth activism. Image: Supplied Your Ideas Matter: Turning Vision into Action Sontonga and the youth of 1976 share a common thread: they didn't let their age or circumstances define their potential. You, too, have the power to execute your ideas, whether it's starting a community project, launching a business, or creating art that speaks to your truth. Here's how to channel that energy this Youth Month: 1. Start Small, Dream Big: Sontonga wrote Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika for his school choir, not imagining it would become a continental anthem. Your idea doesn't need to be grand from the start. Write that poem, code that app, or pitch that project. Small steps can lead to monumental outcomes. 2. Embrace Resilience: The Soweto youth faced unimaginable odds, yet their courage persisted. When setbacks hit, whether it's funding, doubt, or failure, keep pushing. Resilience turns ideas into reality. 3. Collaborate and Connect: Sontonga's hymn grew through the voices of choirs and activists who carried it forward. Find your community friends, mentors, or online networks who share your vision and can amplify your impact. 4. Act Now: At 24, Sontonga didn't wait for the 'perfect moment.' The youth of 1976 didn't hesitate to demand change. Your age is your strength; your energy, fresh perspective, and boldness are assets. Seize this moment. June 16, 1976, The Resilience of Youth. Youth Month's roots lie in the courage of the 1976 Soweto Uprising, when thousands of students, some as young as 13, marched against the apartheid government's imposition of Afrikaans as the medium of instruction in schools. On June 16, these young people faced brutal repression; hundreds were killed, including Hector Pieterson, whose image became a symbol of resistance. Their defiance wasn't just a protest; it was a declaration that the youth could challenge injustice and demand a better future. Their resilience galvanised the anti-apartheid movement, proving that young voices could shift the course of history. The lesson from 1976 isn't just about rebellion, it's about conviction. Those students didn't wait for permission or for someone older to lead. They saw a problem, organised, and acted, despite the risks. Their legacy reminds us that youth is not a time to wait but a time to move, to create, to build.

She also spoke about her pride after landing her first leading role in an action series with 'Empini.'

‘Keep shining': MaMkhize flaunts mink coat, ‘girls treat' and Versace spa day [VIDEOS]

What car troubles?! MaMkhize's story is one of contrasts — unapologetic luxury juxtaposed with legal battles... Former Royal AM owner Shauwn 'MaMkhize' Mkhize has returned to the spotlight. Pictures: Instagram/ @kwa_mammkhize Shauwn 'MaMkhize' Mkhize is no stranger to the limelight. For most of this year, the businesswoman and reality TV star has, however, maintained a low profile on the social scene due to financial woes. Her ongoing dispute with the South African Revenue Service (Sars) has already resulted in the loss of her PSL club, Royal AM, and the seizure of her renowned luxury car collection, which will go under the hammer this week. The controversial socialite reportedly owes the taxman a staggering R37.9 million. MaMkhize mingles in mink… A defiant MaMakhize has seemingly brushed off her troubles, rising from the ashes of her business empire in a flash of fur and sharing glimpses of a luxurious 'girls treat' getaway. True to her signature flair for opulence, the KwaZulu-Natal tycoon was recently spotted donning a flamboyant mink fur coat and Gucci cap at the Basketball Africa League event at Pretoria's SunBet Arena. Joining her in the courtside seats at the Al Ahli Tripoli vs Petro de Luanda final, were music sensation Zee Nxumalo and former Miss South Africa Shudufhadzo Musida. Shauwn 'MaMkhize' Mkhize poses for the cameras at the Basketball Africa League final at SunBet Arena earlier this month. Picture: Instagram/ @kwa_mammkhize 'Girls treat': MaMkhize shares roaring time with friends MaMkhize also flaunted her most recent 'soft life' spoils at the Shekinah Lion and Game Lodge on her Instagram account. She labelled her post about her getaway with actress Tarina Patel and Zimbabwean businesswoman and philanthropist Zodwa Mkandla, 'Girls treat❤️❤️❤️❤️' The Vaalwater lodge boasts exclusive predator suites that provide visitors with the opportunity to get up close and personal with its roaming lions and other wild cats. A stay with the dangerous predators costs R12,500 per couple per night for Monday to Thursday, and R15,000 per couple per night for Friday to Sunday, according to their Instagram account. MaMkhize captioned a video clip of her stay in the Pfamoni Sahara Suite: 'There's a lion in every woman who refuses to give up. We rise together✨ Keep shining, your win is unfolding.' Spa day in Versace MaMkhize and her girlfriends also treated themselves to a luxury spa treat in the comfort of her home this week. Sharing moments from the girls' home spa day, all three ladies can be seen dressed in Versace gowns, which retail from R10 900 up to R24 200, according to the Versace website. The Sars crackdown: MaMkhize's luxury fleet on auction MaMkhize's financial woes escalated in 2023 when Sars issued a R37.9 million tax bill, followed by a preservation order on her assets, including Royal AM Football Club. By November 2024, Sars and the South African Police Service (SAPS) raided her La Lucia mansion in Durban, seizing luxury vehicles, over 40 firearms, as well as other assets. The tax debt stems from unpaid taxes linked to Royal AM, which MaMkhize purchased in 2021 and transformed into a Premier Soccer League powerhouse. Auction details Last week, Sars announced the auction of 13 luxury vehicles and a Royal AM-branded Mercedes-Benz Maybach V-Class bus to recoup the debt. The auction, scheduled from 27 June to 2 July, is managed by Bidders Choice and requires a R50 000 refundable registration fee. The collection includes rare gems like: 2022 Mercedes-Benz S680 Maybach Edition 100: One of only 100 units produced globally, valued at approximately R5.6 million. 2020 Bentley Continental GTC: A symbol of celebrity excess, worth around R4 million. 2022 BMW i7 xDrive60: BMW's cutting-edge electric flagship. Royal AM's downfall MaMkhize's acquisition of Bloemfontein Celtic in 2021, rebranded as Royal AM, was marked by extravagance — think helicopter landings and luxury locker rooms. However, the club's failure to meet tax obligations led to curatorship and its eventual auction. The PSL's decision to expel Royal AM in April 2025 marked the end of a turbulent chapter, leaving players as free agents and stakeholders questioning MaMkhize's business acumen. History of controversy: MaMkhize, Sbu Mpisane and son This isn't MaMkhize's first brush with financial troubles. Her 2016 divorce from Sbu Mpisane was accompanied by a Sars seizure of vehicles, including a Porsche and a Rolls-Royce Ghost. Her reality show, Kwa Ma'Mkhize, and her book, My World, My Rules, have kept her in the public eye, but controversies around unpaid salaries and allegations of favouritism toward her son, Andile Mpisane, have drawn criticism over the years.
