Mcebo Dlamini: Global Citizen is a 'facade'

Billions have been pledged at the Global Citizen Festival.
Corporates and ordinary citizens gave funds that'll go towards bettering society. Courtesy #DStv
Some causes include poverty alleviation, education, and healthcare.
However, activist Mcebo Dlamini says Global Citizen is a facade.

For one I’ve never been really interested when it comes to South African politics but knowing that there are young people who are as woke as this guy is the reason I now believe that South Africa still has a chance in changing to a better country should we have leaders such as this guy.

[@dailyupdates2960]

I came to a point where I even left South Africa because we go to school and work hard to graduate and when we get those degrees there are no jobs, the rich get richer and the poorer get poorer.

You are right my brother... The general public are not aware.... Proud of you...

[@lindiwemakhubela3694]

This has to be one of the best interviews I've ever watched, it's so great to see a young mind with so much clarity! And the interviewer also did a great job...he asked relevant questions that got direct answers. Many politics just meander around the question and end up digressing. I pray that our political spaces will reach a point in time where they don't swallow up such young powerful voices! We need the ideas, we need debates and ideas to go challenged within parties and in parliament.

[@mandladludlu8359]

Mcebo is a smart guy, I'm shocked this boy knows so much that the ordinary citizen is not aware of. I can tell you one thing for sure this boy does his research very well......

[@toast2610]

I think more people are aware of these things, it is just that these are inconvenient when you are ambitious like the guy who interviewed him.. who would rather play the capitalist game for his own benefit, than oppose it and sacrifice himself for his people.. which is what a true leader would do.
