A demand for Radical Change?

 *A group of over 3000 radical young people who are mostly unemployed camped the entire night at Jack Botes Hall Polokwane, singing revolutionary songs – in support of Julius Malema’s 3^rd Court appearance.

Vavi warned in May 2012 that; "South Africa as a country is sitting on a ticking bomb that one day will explode ... Another 1976 is waiting to happen. "If we preoccupy ourselves with palace politics while Rome is burning, then history will judge us equally and harshly." 

"A country that has this magnitude of unemployment in the midst of this opulence workers see every day, a country that tolerates for 18 years those kind of inequalities to just grow and grow and deepen, and with the poverty that not only grinds but humiliates such a huge number of the population - we are sitting on a ticking bomb indeed."

"Is this not a reality that a growing number of those 72% unemployed in the country are beginning to lose hope because they have been waiting for far too long? If they are losing hope they find new heroes,"

This is the 3^rd part of the series.
