On 16 June 1976, young people refused to accept the world as it was. They questioned injustice, challenged exclusion, and demanded the right to shape their own futures. In doing so, they demosntrated that change depends on those willing to make good trouble. Inspired by Madiba's name, Rolihlahla, "the troublemaker", we celebrate the courage to act, to speak out, and to imagine something better. As we commemorate Youth Day and the 50th anniversary of the Soweto Uprising, we honour the generation of 1976 and the young people of today who continue to make good trouble to build a more just society. #YouthDay2026 #MakingGoodTrouble #Rolihlahla #NelsonMandelaFoundation #ItIsStillInYourHands
