The youth population of South Africa constitutes more than half of South Africa's young democratic state. It’s acknowledged and appreciated by the majority of South Africans that the generation of Nelson Rholihlahla Mandela has been at the forefront in the fight for democracy. This was reinforced and broadened by the subsequent generation of Steven Bantu Biko, which promoted a positive conception of self and rediscovering personal agency under oppressive conditions. And, then the youthful stormtroopers of the 1980s, at huge personal cost to themselves, rendered apartheid unworkable. Thus, it ought to be understood and appreciated that the freedoms enjoyed today by all South Africans have been fought for by successive preceding generations who resisted colonialism and apartheid. People and especially, young people, are often over-awed by what overview of the project has been achieved by past generations. However, few of them afford themselves the opportunity and time to explore how changes in societies are brought about and the respective roles of the individual and collective across generations. Seldom do they move beyond the mere assertion, 'that in order to know where you're going to, you must know the past' In other words, unless there is an understanding that the past consist of many and varied stories and that our knowledge about the past is informed and shaped in multiple ways, i.e. the stories we have been exposed to, the availability and kind of sources, popular media portrayals and cultural constructions. 8 9 overview of the project overview of the project The ijr's Schools' oral History projects Sixty-four project participants attended immediate outcome is the creation of these project activities since 2013 – 2014. platforms where personal and historical perspectives are acknowledged, prejudice The project participants invited a number of interviewees whom they challenged & inclusive narratives explored. interviewed at the school on a Saturday morning.

My father’s name as I heard from my grand-parents was Bafana so till now I don’t know who my father is, what he looks like, his culture and so on. I was born in a rural town named Windsorton, the place was named after P. F Windsor he was a mayor of the place. But I was not exactly in Windsorton. I was told that my parents lived at a place called, Windsorton station, it’s about 10km from the Windsorton river bridge which was built in 1953. participant stories My great grand-parents were Mr Mohmpane Modikeng and Mrs Mmathabo Phillimon, who were the parents of my grand-parents Mr Zolile and Mrs Fransina Phillimon but only the parent of my grand-mother not my grand-father. I am the second born in my family. We are three, my sister Lesego, my little brother Vincent and I. In my family we were never rich but also never poor but just when my mother left or died we went to live with my great grand-parents. Mr Mohmpane Modikeng he was very caring, kind, lovely and he supported us all but he died on the 7th of February 2014 and now we feel like we are abandoned. Now we live with our unsupportive grand- parents Mr Zolile and Ms Fransina Phillimon who changed the surname 14 15 bennet phillimon bennet phillimon of Phillimon to Mawela. Their two children treat us like street kids, we wheels. The setup for young people here is very embarrassing because, really feel like we are left with nothing, abandoned. most of the young people just smoke and use drugs and they don’t even care about school. I started primary school in 2008 it was very exciting because my great grand-father was living with us, we lived with white people for a long time. My great grand-father was working for them, building their houses. My message (to the youth is) education They decided to build my great grand-father a house, however since my comes first so that you can succeed in life great grand-father is dead, the house is broken down into pieces. Mr and see a great future, because if you are Mike said he will build us a house, but till now, he hasn’t even started. playing around your future it's gonna be given to others, those who think hard and They said that my great grand-father can live in that house in Franklin play hard. street forever, for the rest of his life and when Mr Mike went to Cape Town, he betrayed my great grand-father and sold the house to a white person. (I think) my great grand-father died because of lot of stress as As a country I think the economy is going good but the mining areas a result. are starting to fight over money, so many of the mine workers are going to lose their jobs because the mining corporations can’t afford to give I remember my first grade but I was not good at school and made everyone a R12 500. excuses not to go to school, I was just interested in staying at home because it was much safer and (at the time) I was still young , because Three of the people living here are teachers, a few clinic workers, but the I was travelling from Franklin street to D.L.

  • Determining the Vitality of Urban Centres
    The Sustainable World 15 Determining the vitality of urban centres J. E. Drewes & M. van Aswegen North West University, Potchefstroom Campus, South Africa Abstract This paper will attempt to provide an encompassing Index of Vitality for urban centres. The Vitality Index’s© goal is to enable measurement of the general economic, social, physical, environmental, institutional and spatial performance of towns within a regional framework, ultimately reflecting the spatial importance of the urban centre. Towns have been measured in terms of numerous indicators, mostly in connection with social and economic conditions, over an extended period of time. The lack of suitable spatial indicators is identified as a significant shortcoming in the measurement of urban centres. This paper proposes the utilisation of a comprehensive index to measure the importance of an urban centre within a specific region. The Vitality Index© is consequently tested in a study area situated in the Northern Cape Province, South Africa. This study contributes in a number of ways to the measurement of urban centres, i.e. the shortcomings that are identified for the urban centres can be addressed by goal-specific policy initiatives, comprising a set of objectives and strategies to correct imbalances. The Vitality Index© also provides a basis for guiding national and regional growth policies, in the identification of urban centres with sustainable growth potential and vitality. Keywords: sustainability indicators, measuring urban centres, importance of urban centres, sustainable housing, spatial planning; policy, South Africa. 1 Introduction Various indicators have been designed and are recognised to provide a quantitative evaluation of an urban centre. Included are indicators describing economic growth, accessibility, sustainability, quality of life and environmental quality.
