Common National Evamination English Paper May 22nd, 2009 (2H= 15:00 - 17:00)
SECTION ONE: Reading Comprehension & Translation
1 Africa won its liberation through the efforts of the young. Across the African continent, the moment of
2 independence represented many things. It was the winning of the national sovereignty and the promise that the continent
3 could unshackle itself from the chains of colonial rule and achieve the social and economic development for which its
4 people had yearned. But national independence manifested something else too, something that is easily overlooked with
5 the passage of almost half a century. The social and political movements that struggled against colonial and racist rule
6 were overwhelmingly parties of the young.
7 Youth have rights as well as obligations, though they are too often forgotten in a social order built around
8 gerontocrats and welfare agenda focused on children. Rights are realized through a combination of government action,
9 social functioning and citizens’ mobilization. Governmental commitments are important, but political change that
10 emancipates people is the essential component of successful social progress. For young people to realize their rights,
11 they need to enjoy their civil and political liberties, organize themselves, demonstrate their readiness to act, and in turn
12 this means that they need to take on leadership roles. Leadership roles exist at all levels of society from family,
13 community and school to the national political stage. Young people should have roles at all of these levels, but of
14 necessity the greatest focus must be on their leadership of social and political movements.
15 Efforts to generate social change, especially with regard to youth, must be what young people are already doing
16 for themselves. Many young people in Africa are bewildered, demoralized and exploited. Many see no future for them in
17 the African continent and instead aspire to leave to seek a new life in Europe or America. Yet at the same time, young
18 people are the principal actors in Africa’s social and political creativity today. Under the onslaught of a range of
19 adversities—HIV/AIDS, unemployment, political repression, conflict, and the collapse of social values—young people
20 are actively fashioning new social orders. Most of these emergent social networks, organizations and belief systems are
21 poorly understood.
22 Leadership roles by young people themselves will be essential if any movement is to prove effective and
23 sustainable. The participation rights of young people need to be taken seriously, so that they are more adequately
24 represented in legislatures and other mechanisms for ensuring that citizens’ voices are heard and taken into account.
25 Institutions that represent the young, and that deal with the young, need their capacities enhanced. Young people, aged
26 over 16 for example, could be granted the vote and those slightly older (perhaps 21) could be given the right to run for
27 elected public office. This would be a very powerful symbol of the emancipation of youth, and, more importantly, a
28 means of channeling their political energies into strengthening democracy. Mechanisms for delivering services to the
29 young, ranging from schools and clinics to banks and micro-credit institutions, need strengthening with greater and more
30 effective participation by their young clients and stakeholders. Civil society organizations, schools and universities,
31 government departments, and regional organizations should ail become concerned with young people, both reaching out
32 to them and providing opportunities for learning and leadership within them.
33 The process of creating and developing young people’s leadership cannot be directed. It can only be
34 encouraged, most importantly by providing the right domestic environment. Another mechanism that can help is
35 regionally and internationally networking youth organizations so that they can provide new platforms for progressive
_36 leadership. Young people have some specific requirements, but like older citizens, they fundamentally require the
37 freedom to organize and participate as they see fit.
Abridged from an article on Youth & Leadership by Feldhusen, J. F. (2009)
