Youth of today turn to not care enough about the next per- son but themselves. They hardly communicate verbally to other people. Most of them, if not everyone, have smartphones which disturbs their social life and studies. The question is “How can people who care less about oth- ers and communicate nonverbally can be leaders?”

A leader is someone who is at the top or above others ei- ther in the workplace, organization, musical band, study group and so forth, which consist of a number of people.

Youth of today should get up and face reality and decrease the time they spend on social media platforms. They should go out there, meet people, engage themselves in projects of their stream, be active, connect and associate with people who are doing things relating to their careers.

As June is taken as a Youth Month in South Africa, Exult- ant Magazine would also like to take this month and dedi- cate it to the youth. In this issue you will read more about them and their motivational stories.

16 June is a day of remembering the tragedy that happened in 1976 where school kids of the time were shot with live ammunition while protesting in a peaceful march against the introductory of law that would force them to study all “People who give, the subjects in Afrikaans. normally receive in I would like to edge everyone to celebrate this youth return. Giving is like month fully and lend a hand to any of the organizations such as orphanages, and so forth. an investment that will bear fruits in the near future.”

Prof. Matete whose real name is Matete Victor Mo‐ gashoa was born in Limpopo in Malesa village, Polo‐ kwane around Turfloop. He is last born from four kids.

Matete started to parcipate by the age of 9 at church. “I chose gospel because this genre can heal people,” he said. Matete inherited singing from his mom. He achieved a lot as he started singing in high school called Nkashilo High.

Prof. Matete has released his new album tled Nchafatso ya moya. The album has 11 tracks and the one that he loves the most is talking about the souls. He is passionate about gospel music.

He normally performs in the shopping malls, shopping centres and funcons. “Now these days it is difficult to make lot of income and survive by only doing mu‐ sic,” he said.

Prof. Matete started his primary educaon at Malesa Primary School and proceeded to Nkoshilo High School.

He is going to perform in Ndebele on the 2nd June 2019. He is also going to perform in Mamelodi West on the 15th and in Mamelodi East on the 16th. He has released his first album early this year and he is sll cooking the new one which will proberbly be launch on his birthday.

“Most people are killed by youth. We have to go the roots. They should respect elderly people. If you dis‐ respect them, you disrespect god. Youth of today are Prof. Matete holding his guitar way worse than those of 1976 as they were fighng for freedom. Musicians should pracce what they preach,” he concluded.

Is the youth of today better than those of 1976?

We took to the buzzing streets of Hamman- skraal to ask our exuberant youth to ask what do they think of the youth of today com- paring to those of 1976?

Well, of course we interviewed a variety of young people to get their views and opinions on the topic at hand. Quite some interesting answers which we got as some were quite or- thodox but also some were interesting. A bit of the youth were disconnected of course. 27 year old Asanda Zondi said; “the youth of Let’s take 23 year old Keamogetswe Lehodi 1976 are way better than us because they were from Maubane who stated; “youth of 1976 was united and had a common goal which they way better than us because our youth of today fought for by fighting for their education where- are doing drugs and a variety of substance as us as the youth of today are more divided abuse and do not have a collective goal that and do not have common goal to unite us to- drives them.” Now that was an angle I was not gether.” looking at, were you?

My response to such a question is that we are form totally different generation with different mindsets and challenges not to mention the availability of resources.

The year 2019 marks exactly 25 years since the attainment of political freedom in South Africa. As observed in the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) manifesto, political freedom in South Africa has hardly translated into observ- able economic emancipation.

Black people remain landless, they remain on the margins of economic production and out- side of life-enhancing economic participation. The majority of those that participate in the economy do so as suppliers of cheap and easi- ly disposable labour.

Landlessness and joblessness among black South Africans are at crisis levels, posing the
