If love does not know how to give and take without restrictions, it is not love, but a transaction that never fails to lay stress on a plus and a minus.

Youth must be Economically Empowerment.
By
Formation of Youth Economic Empowerment Policy
- Mobilise, educate and strive for socialist economy –
Let us be 100% certain that we will cross over from obstacles, and achieve our goal.
From Zero to Hero
From inadequate to adequate
From Transition to Alteration
From being pessimistic to optimistic
From being economic slaves to economic warriors
There is a period in between its called our period, our time, our chance to make a change
I’m inviting you heroes and warriors of our Revolution, young people valued possession of our nation, as I’m blazing a very new trail, join me to omnipotent because tomorrow alteration will finds us.
As I personally believe that:
WE ARE STILL THE SLAVES but this time “ ECONOMIC SLAVES “
As Capitalist continue to reap profits from us without the effort of physical slavery, but because of the three most powerful methods of defamation that we use on ourselves: IGNORANCE, GREED, and SELFISHNESS.
Our IGNORANCE is the primary weapon of defamation that is being used against us by those who know how. Europeans and Americans who colonized Africa they all believe in one thing about Africans as they continue to say “The best way to hide something from African (black) people is to put it in a book.” It is about time we start to believe that “we now live in the Information Age”. Were we have gained the opportunity to read any book on any subject and graduate any degree or diploma of any kind from any University through the efforts of our fight for freedom, yet we refuse to read to take the right which initially belonged to us. There are numerous books readily available at Borders, Barnes & Noble, Library and Amazon.com, not to mention our own Black Bookstores that provide solid blueprints to reach ECONOMIC EQUALITY (which should have been our fight all along), but few of us read consistently, if at all. The question is why. Why BANTU BAKUTHI
GREED is perceived to be another powerful weapon of defamation, which we are suffering from as African people. Since the abolition of slavery, WE have had large amounts of money at our disposal. Last year we spent more than 20 million Rands during Christmas, out of our 80 million Rands in total yearly income, that is (25%) of the total income being spent in only one day. Have we lost our minds IYEPHI INQHONDO YETHU? The question is how much are we going to spend in this Christmas.
They are using us as their target market, can’t you see that. For any business venture they care to dream up, no matter how outlandish, we will buy into it. Being primarily a consumer people, we function totally by greed. We continually want more, with little thought for saving or investing. How many of us own businesses few or none, how many of us are professionalize (chartered accountants, Actuary, Engineers, Doctors, Attorneys and entrepreneurs) in our jobs very few or non. But how many of us get drunk on weekends, all of us. How many of us have HIV/AIDS all of us, how many of us are unemployed all of us.
Although we suffer from the above mentioned we would rather buy some new Nike, Lacoster and Levis jeans than invest in starting a business. Some of us even neglect their children to have the latest DH, or Nike, and we still think that having a Mercedes, BMW and a big house gives us “Status” or that we have achieved our Dream. Ukunxiba kakuhle doesn’t mean you better or neither superior that any of us, don’t look us down and think we are inferior. KUBA SINGANXIBI AMAGAMA
I must admit or we must admit that we are fools! Our vast majority of our people are still in poverty because our greed holds us back from collectively making our communities better communities. I will always be a Khayelitshan (UMHLALI WASE KHALTSHA
E-TOWN TWO). But we always dream of living our communities and go and rent a flat in suburban arrears. We continue to show off to each other while whites build solid communities with the profits from the Nike, DH, and Levis jeans we continue to buy from them.
SELFISHNESS, is ingrained in our minds through slavery, and it is one of our major suffering. Dubois said that there was an innate division in our culture. A “Talented Tenth” he called it. He was correct in his deduction that there are segments of our culture that has achieved some “form” of success (Patrice Motsepe, Tokyo Sexwale, Cyril Ramaphosa, Phuthuma Hleko and others).
However, these people missed the fullness of his work. They didn’t read that the “Talented Tenth” was then responsible to aid The Non-Talented Ninety Percent in achieving a better life. Instead, these people has created another class, a Buppie (ABELUNGU ABANYAMA) class that looks down on their people or aids them in a condescending manner. They will never be ABELUNGU such as Bill Gates and others or achieve what they have achieved. Our selfishness does not allow us to be able to work together on any project or endeavor of substance. When we do get together, our selfishness lets our egos get in our way of achieving our goals. Our so-called help organizations such as UMSOBOMVU, YOUTH COMMISSION seem to only want to promote their name without making any real change in our community.
Our leaders are content to sit in conferences and conventions in hotels of the whites, and talk about what they will do to bring a better change in our country, while they award plaques to the best speakers, not to the best doers. Is there no end to our selfishness? we steadfastly refuse to see that TOGETHER EACH ACHIEVES MORE (TEAM). We fail to understand that we are no better than each other because of what we own, as a matter of fact, most of those Buppies are but one or two pay checks away from poverty. All of which is under the control of the whites in the businesses which whites own.
Yes, we will continue to be contained by them as long as we refuse to read, continue to buy everything that is useless, and keep thinking that we are “helping” our communities by paying rent in Suburban arrears, continue driving German cars (Mercedes Benz and BMW) while Germans see them as being expensive to own dues to the price hike.
Sons and daughters of the soil, revolutionarist, members of a democratic change and true revolution I am begging you, Please focus on that which is important and which can geminate your life and those surround you.
Remember it is not what you have that makes you a have, it is what you don’t have that can make you a have more if you can have it. So please let us work together in identifying what is it that we don’t have and strive to have it. Lets show the world that the youth of this country can stand on its on fight; it’s not too late.
Here is an alternative to emancipation (being free), which will make it its duty to
re-address issues affecting the youth today and what will affect it tomorrow. The YEE is our alternative to omnipotent (great power).
The Youth Economic Empowerment Policy is our initial goal, which we aim to achieve by the end of 2009 so as to participate effectively by 2010 to geminate an economy that belongs to all of us. Then what is this YEE ?
This is an organisation with a clear aim and vision, which is to develop the life that we now live as young people of South Africa. As we are surrounded by too many challenges
and unpleasant lifestyle. This is therefore a platform to re-address those challenges [unemployment, inadequate education, unpleasant environment and crime] so as to be emancipated thereafter.
This is not a Political organisation or neither have intensions of being such, this is an organisation with an aim of creating economic warriors rather than economic slaves. This will be done for the development of our country, our economy and our youth.
Its duty is to mobilise, educate and strive for socialist economy, by so doing we are creating the envy of happiness for the youth of our country.
The (YEE) demands a new beginning of a new life in a new order for the youth of this country as that has been defamed. Therefore we will make it our duty to defend what has been defamed.
The youth of our country must be emancipated (free) from being economic slaves to economic warriors, that is the Gospel, which we aim to spread across the nation.
With a third of our population being the youth aged between 14 and 35 years, it is clear that young people comprise a substantial part of South African society. However, due to the inadequate policies of our government, a significant number of young women and men have not been afforded the opportunity to develop their full potential. They have experienced poor housing conditions, inadequate education and training, limited employment opportunities, high levels of crime and violence and a general disintegration of social networks and communities.
It is because of these grievances that we demand and edge our government to re-develop and re-implement specific policies and programmes so as to re-address the needs of the youth of this country [young women and men].
“Youth are the valued possession of the nation. Without them there can be no future. Their needs are immense and urgent. They are the centre of reconstruction and development in our country.”
This is a proof that a comprehensive strategy to address the problems and challenges facing young women and men in South Africa is urgently needed as more young people tern to lose confidence on the government and its policies
The Youth for Economic Empowerment recognizes many influences of society, which have shaped the situation, and experience of young men and women today. It is unfortunate that these historical legacies and contemporary circumstances can only be described briefly in a document such as this, yet such factors play an important role in defining the needs, opportunities, aspirations and challenges of young people.
The YEE committee compiled this research using a number of sources. However, it is clear that one of the greatest challenges facing youth is the need for current research into the needs and circumstances facing young men and women toady. We believe that the paucity of detailed research, specific to the circumstances of young women and men will be one of the alarming findings in the process of formulating a Youth Economic Empowerment Policy. Thus, the need for further investigation and analysis into the situation facing young people is a major priority.
The major issues relating to young women and men in South Africa today are described as follows and they need proper research and investigation:
· the demography of young women and men;
· provincial distribution of young men and women;
· education and training;
· youth employment and unemployment;
· youth health; and crime and violence.
