YOUTHDAY 2026- June 16 50 Years later; how o we solve today’s challenges faced by youth and society as a whole? ( GUEST: DR. SHAKA SISULU - Entrepreneur & Graduate with a PhD in international business

June 16 this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Youth Uprising in South Africa in 1976, when school students took to the streets in Soweto to protest the apartheid government’s decision to impose Afrikaans– as a medium of instruction. Brutally killed and injured when the police opened fire, they left behind bloody scars and a nation in turmoil. 50 Years later how do solve today’s critical challenges and give room for young people to lead us to the solutions we need? Dr. Shaka Sisulu suggests that Africa’s future should not only be discussed through the lens of politics alone.

Dear Mapaseka I am writing because I would like some advice regarding how I have been feeling Lately. I gave birth to my baby in December, and my child is now six months old. The baby's father and I are no longer together due to abuse that I experienced during the relationship. Thankfully, I have worked hard on my healing, and I feel that I have moved on from that chapter of my life. For the first few months after giving birth, I focused entirely on my baby and adjusting to motherhood. However, after returning to work, I started feeling like myself again. I feel happier, more confident, and more open to companionship and intimacy than I expected. What confuses me is that I have developed feelings for a man at work who is ten years younger than me. He is not the type of man I would normally go for, and my mind keeps telling me that he is not right for me. Yet my heart seems drawn to him. He is confident, persistent, and challenges me in ways that I find surprisingly attractive. At the same time, I am not necessarily looking for a serious relationship. I find that my libido has increased significantly since having my baby, and sometimes I wonder whethe feelings are genuine attraction, loneliness, a desire for companionship, or simply a result of feeling like myself again after a difficult period in my life. My question is: Is it normal to feel this way only six months after giving birth? Should I trust these feelings, or should I give myself more time before pursuing anything with someone new, especially someone younger than me? I am 36 years old this year. I would appreciate your thoughts and advice. A Confused but Hopeful Mom TINA

THE LETTER- ( GUEST: BRIAN MHLANGA – Life and Leadership Coach WWW.BRIANMHLANGA.COM & REITUMETSI MTHEMBU – Registered Counselor COUNSELLING WITH REITUMETSI: INFO@REITUMETSEWELLNESS.CO.ZA

I am a single mother. My ex boyfriend and I met in 2014. We had a fairly toxic relationship The abuse was there, the control, inconsistencies and random lies but so were the gifts; trips and dates. He would accuse me of cheating many times. He would show up at my work to check if I'm there. He would park outside my place as if trying to catch something. He would financially support me one month and then the next it's withdrawn and I wouldn't know or ask him why. In 2020, at the start of the pandemic. I fell pregnant with his child and he started with his accusations again about me cheating. I packed my bags and went home to my parents. His insults didn't stop; even reminding me of things he has done for my son from my previous relationship. He asked me to return everything he has ever bought me. And I did. During this time I got a protection order against him. I gave birth prematurely due to stress and pre-eclampsia. I received court papers about DNA tests. I availed myself and the child and tests were done. He is married and this is the reason I believe he contested paternity. He then wanted to visit the child, I told him to go to my father but he failed to do so. He took me to court. I asked him to have full custody and that I would visit my child but he refused. I feel stuck in a loop and my mental health is not in good standing. How do I create a healthy relationship for my child’s sake?
