YAMUA THABONG: BUILDING THE FUTURE FROM THE GROUND UP ✊🏿⚽
Sometimes building a movement is not about meetings, workshops or speeches.
Sometimes it is simply about creating a space where young people can play, belong and imagine something different.
On 29 August, the YAMUA Thabong Branch Executive Committee brought young people together for a community sports tournament, games and fun.
But behind the fun was a serious purpose: keeping young people positively engaged, strengthening teamwork and giving children an alternative to the drugs, crime and street life that too often fill the spaces left by unemployment, poverty and neglect.
This is what grassroots organising can look like. It starts long before someone becomes an activist. It starts by building relationships, creating community and showing young people that they matter.
YAMUA exists because young people in mining-affected communities should not simply inherit the inequalities and environmental destruction of previous generations.
They must have the organisation, confidence and collective power to shape a different future. ✊🏿🔥

A huge salute to the YAMUA Thabong BEC for taking the initiative, and to every young person who came out to play, laugh and participate.
We are not only organising for the youth. We are organising with them, because the future belongs to them. ✊🏿🔥

As a woman I am extremely aware the only reason I have rights is because women before me got mouthy, organized, and made herself inconvenient. Thats why I see women who uphold the patriarchy as traitors
