Happy Youth Day to all the youth of South Africa.
This evening, after watching Noelene, I thought to myself… it’s time to speak up once again for the youth! Ek is nou gatvol van die kak!
Now, I used to be a Noelene fan, until more and more of her shows were focused on black people – black not being all other than white. Now my God, what are we doing here mense? Aren’t we supposed to be a united ‘new’ South Africa? What are we trying to show the youth of SA?
I was watching Noelene for 10 minutes this evening, and after the 10th minute I started to feel extreme hatred and anger towards the show.
Almost every black person that was asked the question, “what makes your company different in the market?” or, “why did you start your company?” came back with the response of or close to…
We saw there weren’t any young black women/persons in the market.
We wanted to create an avenue for black people…
NOTHING TO DO ABOUT YOUTH MUTHA FUCKA!
Shouldn’t the response be more to do about ALL the youth of South Africa? What happened to the coloured youth? The Asian youth? The indian youth?
I think more people should be trying to invest in something more for the youth of this country. I’m not going to say more, but I have some plans in the pipeline!
If we all try and give the youth (those that can and can’t afford) opportunities to make themselves great, then we can be proud of where South Africa is headed!
So to all the youth of South Africa, don’t let people get you down! When you’re being ignored, tramped on, hurt, bullied or just plain pushed aside, keep your heads up and keep dreaming. Because without any dreams, there’s nothing to reach for!

ayeya buddy, ayeya…
i soema watched days instead…
I watched the program as well.. and what amazed me is that their was not alot of emphasis placed on the fact, that because the entrepreneurs are black they received funding to start these ventures much quicker and easier – than when Mogamat would apply for funding… can’t remember if I saw a coloured person on that program at all.
It’s fuckin sad, because are not making a difference in the marketplace anymore… Yes, i agree – i dont smaak watching Noelene anymore – when she have a panel on stage – its wynag that there’s a coloured represented – Naai Fok, i stand for my colour!!!!
Aweh brudda
I agree that the mense in the media are focusing on specific groups so much that it dilutes what the young mense are trying to do.
Ek mean… I have chommies across all races innie kaap en almal kyk uit vir mekaar, maar die fokken media wys nog once dat daar fokkol cooperation issie.
Ek skat daar’s a scope vir nog change.
