It is a struggle that I believe shall remain a noble one, a struggle I believe was long overdue, and a struggle I firmly believe we had no other choice but to pursue – and we had to pursue it with everything we had. For advancing a cause that is noble as the one of free decolonised education, we are tried, sentenced to jail, suffocated and subjected to humiliating processes.
The question that comes to mind is: to what end is this done to our generation? Are there intentions of trying to silence the youth, or it is done to instil some degree of fear and perhaps tame the youth from advancing their generational mission?
In every difficulty we continue to face as young people, focus and determination are what we must not lose. We must, without doubt, know that we only have ourselves and no body else. For us to conquest oppression we must be willing to pay the highest price, suffer and sacrifice for our ideas. Young people have a responsibility of forming a unity of purpose and continue to fight.
We must ensure that we struggle for common goals and objectives in relation to our generational mission. We have a responsibility of being unique from the rest. We must be a youth that is upright. We must be a youth that is incorruptible. We must be a youth that is not materialistically driven. We must be a youth that is selfless, honest and driven by a great feeling of love for one another.
