What is your message to the youth of SA today?
To all young people out there, my message is: believe in yourself, respect yourself so that others can respect you too. In life you can’t buy respect, you have to earn it. Learn from your mistakes: You don’t fall and then sleep on the ground but you rise and rise again. We all know that time waits for no one and time wasted is never regained. Live your life – this is your time! Vukuzenzele.
