A reinvigorated and united voice. Globally. From student demonstrations against guns in the US to the voices that gave rise to the Arab Spring. South African youth have always been at the forefront of political struggle. Now they're taking to social media and the streets. Young people are reinventing politics. Rather than making their voices heard through the ballot, they are far more likely to take to the streets. Joining us is Orb Media's Chief Journalism Officer, Naja Nielsen, Spokesperson for the South African Union of Students, Thabo Shingange, and guest lecturer at Stellenbosch Univesrity, Vanessa Mpatlan-yane.
