One winter morn
in 1976, a group of young people led an uprising in one of the townships in
Soweto, South Africa. The protest was bound to change the whole South African
education system. Both young and old braved the circumstances that surrounded
them, their aim was ONE - - to effect a revolutionary change in society. Whenever
South Africans think of this year (1976), the still image of young Hector,
Antionette and Mbuyisa is brought to mind and it does nothing but brings tears to
the conscientious eyes.
It took a group
of young people to effect a change in society; the outcome could have been
different had they not decided to do something. Imagine a group of young
people, adults and children leading a revolutionary uprising activated by their
love for God and for their fellow man. Imagine a revival of primitive godliness in their
homes and neighbourhoods, in schools, in churches and various institutions. Imagine the wave
of change in your Province, Parish, Country or State. Imagine!
“And they
that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up
the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of
the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.” Isaiah 58:12
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world..." ~Margaret Mead~
