In his speech, Mmhonlumo Kikon, elaborated on how social media was a reflection of the youths’ frustrations and the important role they also play in changing and solving the problems in society. Sharing stories from his own life, Kikon inspired the students to look beyond government service, stating “By not working you are destroying the future of the state”. While not absolving the government for all the problems in society, he encouraged the youth to demand development from their leaders while not forgetting that it is they themselves who elected those same leaders.
The function concluded with an informal session consisting of songs, dances and a cultural fashion show.
