The
youth of South Africa have been driving around with the hand
brake pulled up in the car of their lives for far too long!!
We don’t know where we’re going and we don’t
know how to get there. All the pressures of family tradition,
11 official languages, Labola payments, over bearing parents
and arranged marriages have got the better
of us.
So imagine six twenty something’s from five completely different background’s
living in a trendy loft apartment in the concrete jungle of Johannesburg,
where you have to strive for your dreams, and cling to your friends. Coupled
with the day to day problems of giving their cultures the respect they deserve,
as well as pay rent, date dodgy people, find the one, fall in love, evolve
technologically, have Sunday braai’s, and generally be proudly South
African - if they knew what that meant in the first place - they also
have to stand out from the crowd, stamp their identity and say:
“Jo’burg - this is who we are” – “Sithi
Ses’La” – we have arrived! Simple?
Not so much. Funny? You can't even begin to imagine!
