The Youth Dialog- Not forgotten.

''It always seems impossible until it's done'' Dr Nelson Mandela

'Fighting colonialism' 50 years anniversary.  On Thursday 12, Rivonia Trial marked 50th anniversary of eight men who stood in the dock, and were sentenced to life imprisonment.  Death penalty was what they thought they''ll get, but judge said 'I sentence you to life imprisonment'.  It preserved them to see and live another day.  Lilliesleaf Farm, a place of liberation; a secret place for struggle stalwarts.  The farm became a high command- place of refuge for ANC activists who had gone underground.

The like of Govan Mbeki, Ahmed Kathrada, Raymond Mhlaba, OR Tambo, Andrew Mlangeni, Walter Sisulu, Dennis Goldberg and Nelson Mandela.

Yesterday, South Africa was celebrating 38th anniversary of June 16, 1976 Soweto Uprising.  Students across South Africa especially in Soweto, Johannesburg were protesting against Bantu Education, particularly Afrikaans as a language to be banned in schools.  

Youth Unemployment is the biggest issue spoken about in various areas of youth day commemoration.
