News24.com | Be radical like Mandela’s generation – Zuma’s message to youth
Cape Town – President Jacob Zuma has called on the youth to follow in the footsteps of former late president Nelson Mandela and his generation and achieve “radical economic transformation”.
Mandela, Walter Sisulu and Oliver Tambo belonged to a special generation of young people who were radical, robust and daring, Zuma told members of the ANC Youth League in the party’s Cape Town region on Monday.
“They were not cowards. However, I must emphasise their radicalism was informed by conviction and not by convenience,” he said in a speech ahead of Mandela Day, to be celebrated on Tuesday in honour of the former beloved president’s birthday.
“They were radical truly because they believed in the moral and intellectual superiority of their ideas.” It was Mandela’s generation that formed uMkhonto we Sizwe in 1961, and he became its first commander-in-chief in the armed struggle.
He and Sisulu were convinced that the time for the armed struggle had arrived, but had to convince the rest of the organisation. “I made this example to show that internal debate is an old thing in the ANC.
You don’t have to fight, you don’t have to be angry. Use your logic to put in the correct line. “You could talk about each one from his generation. They were very special.”
‘Radical economic transformation’
He called on the youth to take on the challenge of achieving radical economic transformation in their lifetime.
“Should we remain landless forever? Should we remain in an economy that has been dominated by a few?” he asked. “No!” portions of the crowd shouted back.
“That is our task today. We need a youth that is bold. That is clear.” He also said free education was crucial and is a problem that the Heher Commission on Higher Education fees is trying to solve.
“Any nation without solving the problem of free education will always be a developing country.”
The process was taking time because the ANC government wanted to solve the problem “once and for all”.
The youth needed to come together on the economy and land issues to “cement Madiba’s togetherness”, and carry on where he left off.
“We want patterns of ownership to be changed, and not held by a few, who is called white monopoly capital.
“Those who say it does not exist live in another country,” he said to rapturous applause.
Colonisation
There were “some corners of society” still intent on separating Mandela from the ANC, the only political home he knew, he said.
His legacy was one that even “some racist, backward and reactionary formations” claim to represent Madiba’s ideals.
“They will tell you, Madiba’s ANC was something else, not this one,” he said to laughter.
South Africa had experienced a colonialism of a special type, in that the colonised stay in the land with the colonisers after freedom. “They took land, power, your dignity and everything. When we were liberated, they stayed here.
“In those other countries, they were administrators, and when you were freed, they left.
“The ball is in your court young people to liberate ourselves economically. If we don’t, we will suffer for many years to come.”
They were not saying the resources should be hogged, but shared, he added.
“For us to succeed we need unity. Work for togetherness, work for justice and equality, and most importantly, work for radical-economic transformation, so the fruits of freedom can be enjoyed by all.”
He called on the youth from the Dullah Omar region to win back the City of Cape Town and the province in future elections.

Sport24.co.za | Du Plessis’s joy as South Africa go back to basics
Nottingham – South Africa captain Faf du Plessis said his side had gone back to basics in a commanding 340-run win over England in the second Test at Trent Bridge on Monday.
Victory saw the Proteas bounce back in style after they suffered a 211-run defeat in the first of a four-match series at Lord’s — a fixture du Plessis missed following the birth of his first child.
“We did the basics a lot better and put England under pressure for long periods,” du Plessis told Sky Sports.
“We focused on getting back to things this side does really well,” he added of a South Africa side with a proud away record of just one series loss in their 19 previous Test campaigns on the road.
Du Plessis took the bold decision to bat first after winning the toss at Trent Bridge, a ground known for aiding swing bowlers, and was rewarded with a competitive total of 335 all out.
With South Africa coach Russell Domingo missing this match following the death of his mother and the attack without fast bowler Kagiso Rabada, banned for one game as a result of swearing at England’s Ben Stokes at Lord’s, the Proteas then dismissed England for 205.
Du Plessis’s painstaking 63, demonstrating an ability to graft for runs quite beyond most England batsmen this match, helped South Africa to a second innings total of 343 for nine declared.
That left England needing a mammoth 474 for victory — the most made by any side to win in the fourth innings of a Test is the West Indies’ 418 for seven against Australia at St John’s in 2003.
England, however, collapsed to 133 all out with more than a day to spare on a pitch, which while worn was no ‘minefield’ and with sunny blue skies providing some of the best batting conditions of the Test.
Vernon Philander, the man-of-the-match, led South Africa’s attack with three wickets for 24 runs in 10 overs of accurate fast-medium bowling.
South Africa had collapsed to 119 all out at Lord’s but they were on top at Trent Bridge almost from the start and never let up.
“There were periods in the first Test when we played well but then let England dominate us,” said du Plessis.
“This was an important Test for us.”
The Proteas now have a nine-day break until the start of the third Test at The Oval on July 27, with no tour match in between.
But with several of South Africa’s multi-format players in England since May, du Plessis reckoned a break may be no bad thing.
“A few of the guys have had a long tour — I’ve just had a break so I feel mentally refreshed and strong, but I feel a couple of days off will give the guys a chance to relax and get away and in a week’s time come back with the same intensity,” he said.
For England this reverse again raised questions about their fallible top three, a problem for them while they lost eight Tests last year.
Keaton Jennings and current number three Gary Ballance, a longstanding team-mate of Root at Yorkshire, have made just 44 and 85 runs respectively in four innings during the series so far.
“No, I don’t think it (the top three) is a concern,” insisted number four Root.
“They just need some runs and to spend some time out in the middle.
“Credit has to go to South Africa, who played very well over the course of the game, but we’ve got to make sure this doesn’t happen again,” he added.
Meanwhile England coach Trevor Bayliss was adamant none of the side were trying to hide from the scale of this defeat.
“The boys are fairly honest in the changing room and realise they have had a shocker,” the Australian said.
eNCA | WATCH: Nelson Mandela one of SA’s greatest sons: President Zuma
CAPE TOWN – President Zuma told the ANCYL’s Dullah Omar Region on Monday that Nelson Mandela was one of South Africa’s greatest sons.
He was addressing their inaugural Nelson Mandela Memorial Lecture. The address, which was expected to begin at 4pm, eventually kicked off at 8pm.
The president said that young people can learn and be inspired by Madiba’s life.
“Indeed Madiba was one of the greatest sons of our country and our continent, from whose life we must continue to draw lessons and inspiration. His entire adult life was dedicated to the struggle for freedom, justice and equality. In him we see what we seek in ourselves,” said President Zuma.
“As South Africans we are truly proud to have produced this remarkable international statesman. South Africa will join the world tomorrow to celebrate Mandela Day in his honour.
“Madiba directed us, all of us to do something good on this day. And contribute to making the world a better place for all of us.”
President Zuma said it was high time the country tackled issues around land and the economy.
“Should we remain landless forever? Should we remain in an economy that is dominated by a few? Those are the tasks that face us today.
“And if we talk about that you are turned almost to an abnormal person because we are told you shouldn’t say so. If you say that you are messing up things,” said President Zuma.

eNCA | Sassa CEO Magwaza removed after accepting exit package
JOHANNESBURG – South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) CEO Thokozani Magwaza has been removed from his position after accepting an exit package.
Magwaza has been receiving a number of death threats, relating to his work to end Sassa’s contract with Cash Paymaster Services.
Earlier today, Parliament’s watchdog committee Scopa condemned the death threats, saying it was an orchestrated campaign to remove Magwaza from office.
Dlamini’s office said the department had not received any official complaints from Sassa or Magwaza.
In a short statement, Dlamini confirmed that she and Magwaza had agreed to terminate his contract. She thanked him for the role he had played at Sassa, and wished him well in his future endeavours.
