@Dithlopho, congrats girl
If only most youths had a reasoning capacity like yours, Mzansi would be a better place to live in and with the less expenses on child grants....

This article is appealing! It is a great achievement for South Africa to have a Youth at that age being more responsible and reasonable than a former Youth League President who is not a match when coming to straight thinking. It is an achievement for South Africa to have a girl child who have realized that Comrades are using their ill-gotten money to abuse lots of Women and baby girls out there I wish all Women were that wise otherwise Sicheka and Zuma and other flat of Ministers, MEC , Premiers and Mayors will not be having 19 children from different mothers. Lord bless hanger because it makes women to forget about reality and abuse because of YOU hanger shame on you hanger! May the Good Lord guide you and help you realize all your dreams, Comrade Angie Motshekga and Blade Nzimande must be happy about the girls 's ambition to study abroad but why!! Because she is wise to see that all Comrades are taking their kids to UK , USA and Japan because they know that the education that they are giving to our Masses here is nothing but rubbish, thank you for being so aware my girl in fact you deserve to be a future Minister of Education because you are reasonable than both Ministers concerned and combined, is just that you do not have ANC card and a good connecting friend to get you there. ALL of our leaders are only leading because of ANC ''ticket'' not because they can but because they are well connected and their friend happen to be a Premier or President, that is why South Africa is like that , we are being led by people who does not know anything about leading!!

This girl is one in a million in SA. She has a strong mind to overide the process of development of the brain of a teenager. I say this because from 13 the brain of a child begins a process of rewiring to prepare for adulthood. This process carries on until the age of 20. That is why teenagers are rebellious and think whatever are experincing and learning in life is new and the adults are stupid. That is why they are susceptible to making so many mistakes because their brains at that stage are not equiped to foresee and appreciate the consequences of their actions in the long run.

Ms. Makwela shouls take hint of the latest figures from ILO (International Labour Organisation), that 30 to 35% of world's youth population are jobless, and how they expected to take responsibilty when all they know is poverty, homelessness and joblessness. That is over a billion young people without work. That is why Malema is an obsolete relic, that belongs in the scrapyard.

Ms. Makwela shouls take hint of the latest figures from ILO (International Labour Organisation), that 30 to 35% of world's youth population are jobless, and how they expected to take responsibilty when all they know is poverty, homelessness and joblessness. That is over a billion young people without work. That is why Malema is an obsolete relic, that belongs in the scrapyard. As future rulers, our children and youth will not thank this selfish generation that I am ashamed to be part of. Its not too late though, a plan is needed to kick-start the world economyReport Abuse

@Secretary i do not knw as to wether ur are having something against Dithlopo...why cant u just give her credits as she desevers that....it really shows that Dithlopo has parental guidance after what she said about her fellow peers "wearing mini-skirts and being fooled by educators about how they love them "....it is people like u @Secretary who discourages young people to dream big,and also discourage them to transform the society....it seems as if u are happy about the majority of youngsters who are not engaged in debates that can change our society for the better....we need yougsters like this one who have positive mindset....yes she is still young but she is not "naive" as u put....Dream big Dithlopo and i like ur positive attitude....Report Abuse

@facta212You said "Dithlopo has parental guidance",Why does this naive girl not support the parental control instead of self control?.Our country is in the dustbin today,because of the likes of Dithlopo who can stand with confidence and knowledge of english to say lassess should take decisions and stop blaming parents.She is like the person painted the picture potraying our president with his nakedness. The is nothing to learn for youth from this failing lass. She should go back to school and learn more about our leadership probelms and how to address them as a team. We are seek and tied with indivisual who work divided not as team like this controversial lady.

What a refreshing article, after the hogwash i saw on 3rd degree( Zikhothana or some crap like that) last Tuesday, it is indeed encouraging to know that our beloved nation South Africa still has young people like you. Keep it up Ditlhopho!!!!! May Our Heavenly Father richly bless you.Report Abuse

This is our South Africa, full of hope and promise. Not the contorted old bitter prunes, who forever blame others and do nothing other than spread doom and misery!I think youth leaders underestimate the thought sophistication of our youth.
