This much was confirmed by the 2015 Youthful Cities Index, which recently found Joburg to be “the most popular city” in Africa overall for young people aged between 15 and 29.
The accolade comes as the City celebrated Youth Month and marking the 39th anniversary of June 16 1976 Soweto uprising, during which hundreds of schoolchildren were shot dead by apartheid police for protesting against the use of Afrikaans – the language of the oppressor – as a medium of instruction in black schools.
The day dramatically changed the course of history and helped to quicken the pace of the struggle for liberation. Thirty-nine years on and 21 years into South Africa’s democracy, the day is used to reflect on the unique spirit of human endeavour and to draw inspiration from the courage of the youth of the time to forge a better country.
