WATCH | City Press has documented #youthday for decades - from the defiance of 1976 to reflections from a new generation of activists. In 1994, we celebrated the first Youth Day in a free South Africa. In 2020, we showed how digital activism kept the spirit of #june16 alive during lockdown. This year, we return to the archives not just to remember, but to ask: what does June 16 mean to the youth of 2025 - and how can we honour its meaning beyond hashtags and holidays?
