What Youth Day means to RHS youth
Learners from Randfontein High School (RHS) shared their thoughts on what Youth Day means to them. • Also read: 'Born and peanut-buttered' in the West Rand – new RHS principal Nyiko Ngobeni, the Grade 11 representative, said Youth Day is a time to celebrate South Africa's history and the challenges overcome, such as Apartheid. 'The youth of 1976 fought for our right to education as school learners, and it's important to honour the legacy they left behind.' Goitseona Motsuenyane shared that she truly enjoys Youth Day. 'Black children fought for an education equal to that of white children. They recognised the injustice and believed they deserved the same. I feel fortunate to learn things my parents never had the opportunity to, and I'm grateful that I can now educate them as well.' Reabetswe Moemane added, 'It's a day to celebrate the children who fought for our education and equal rights. They saw the inequality in how white children received better schooling. I'm grateful for the opportunities I have – opportunities my parents never had. I appreciate the youth who fought for our rights.' Tshegofatso Tsime said that for her, Youth Day symbolises the Soweto Uprising. 'Learners fought for their rights and for their voices to be heard. To celebrate, we make TikTok videos of South African dances and use them to educate others about the Soweto Uprising.' At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention.
