In African Issues (Volume 22, Issue 2, 1994) on political violence in South Africa: the role of youth, I wrote:
“The phenomenon of adolescent marchers and activists who characterised the resistance to apartheid over the last decade has had sequelae and antecedents that reflect the core of the South African dilemma”, that “their more militant and more direct challenge to apartheid began to play an increasingly important role in the human rights struggle in South Africa.
The “older generation’s formative role in the Struggle began to diminish sharply.”
The “belief that most of the older generation had somehow compromised with began to accept or diminish their ability to stand up against apartheid’s abuses.
