As we celebrate Heritage Day this weekend, we have to be mindful that young people are getting left out of the conversations we need to have to build a prosperous nation.
The current generation, with the likes of Banyana Banyana players, continues to show us that some are plying their trade overseas, representing South Africa well. They give the same superior performances for their national teams, converse in their mother tongues, and always refer to who and where they come from.
While braaing, as some have reduced Heritage Day to, they may need to think of the current, harrowing unemployment statistics that befall young people across races. Further to the joblessness crisis, we have challenges, such as the lack of access to quality education and safer places across our communities.
