Is this the ā€œriotā€ in Los Angeles, California that Trump needs the Marines to help stop? I’m confused. Nah, he’s trying to turn a peaceful protest into a riot for political gain.

THIS DAY in 2017. #Grenfell. #NeverForget. Never forget the shredding cuts to Fire Services in London by Boris Johnson which added to the delays, and the deaths.

June 16 isn’t just ā€œYouth Day.ā€ It was a PAC-led revolt, planned & predicted by Zeph Mothopeng & the Bethal 18. Judge Curlewis named them. Time to reclaim the true heroes—before history forgets again. #sowetouprising #PAC #ZephMothopeng

Every June 16, we mark ā€œYouth Day,ā€ this term flattens a profound truth: South Africa’s 1976 youth uprising was neither spontaneous nor apolitical—it was a coordinated act of resistance engineered by the Pan-Africanist Congress (PAC) and its fearless leader, Zephania Mothopeng.

At the 1979 Bethal Treason Trial, Judge Curlewis delivered a damning verdict: ā€œYou Mothopeng acted to sow seeds of anarchy and revolution. The riots you engineered and predicted eventually took place in Soweto on June 16"

This was not spontaneous. Witnesses revealed that Mothopeng held meetings of the PAC’s underground network ā€œYoung African Religious Movement,ā€mapping mass student action—that would cripple apartheid state infrastructure, then adults would strike, triggering nationwide revolution

18 PAC leaders, including Mothopeng, were secretly tried and imprisoned for their role in this uprising,the largest political trial held by apartheid South Africa. Their sentencing totaled nearly 162 years behind bars . Yet, their names-including Mothopeng’s-have been erased

This erasure is politically convenient. It elevates a generic ā€œyouthā€ narrative while minimizing ideological struggle and deliberate planning by PAC militants. In contrast, PAC doctrine—embodied by Mothopeng—was unapologetically revolutionary.

Know that you’re worthy of being treated well even if you have yet to experience it. Instead of clinging to those who dishonor you, practice appreciating yourself.

Don’t believe the lies. We are not invisible or powerless. Our voice, presence, and action can still shift the atmosphere.
