Both Zanele and Ndoji are on a patient quest to revive the spirit of the youth in Africa. They decided to embark on a writing venture together in the form of seven short pieces of writing in which they shared some of their deepest feelings, experiences, desires and opinions. The writing is very personal and straight to the point. The plan was for a primary school senior student to comprehend the message behind each topic. It is very interesting how young people (especially students) often feel that they are going through certain phases all on their own. Heartbreaks, break-ups, depression, anger, romance and frustration are common experiences that the youth often go through from time to time. It serves as some sort of comfort when they realize that they are not alone. Zanele and Ndoji both had an enormous reputation during their high school days as they served as executive leaders of the council. They open up in seven short pieces to prove that they are only just human and regardless of any reputation or image that they portrayed, they go through what every youth member goes through - or maybe even worse! Enjoy
