Nkazimulo Hlongwane, a high school learner, wrote a poem for Youth Day titled ‘The Change Makers’:
From generation to generation
Constantly searching for a destination
We fight and run
Towards the hot and warm sun
In a land full of diversity
Challenging people with our integrity
Sharing stories of our revolution
Constantly trying to find better solutions
A country so vast in cultures
We combine them to build better futures
Ones with dreams and hopes
Tying them together with ropes
Holding each other together
Making a mark that’ll last forever
For the world to know who we are
So they don’t have to search very far
And witness the adrenaline rush
Of telling the stories of those before us
