New York, United States - June 16, 1976 is the day of bloodbath on the streets of South African townships, Soweto being the epicentre of one of the worst manisfestations of apartheid brutality.
On this day, the youthful students of South Africa filled the streets to mount an unseen formidable resistance against the repressive regime in South Africa.
The youth have always remained a very vital cog in all democratic revolutions driven by their purposeful resolve, focus and the tons of calories at their disposal.
Former South African president, who during his tenure as leader of ANC Youth League made his mark and contributed much to South Africa's democratic parthway.
To mention but just a few, Julias Malema, Lindiwe Mazibuko,Malusi Gigaba, Floyd Shivambu, Julius Malema, Peter Mokaba, Fikile Mbalula, have all engraved their names into the annuls of history during their youth era.
Rich Leigh Anesu Mazodze, my first princess has claimed her spot amongst the other South African luminaries having been born on the very Day of The African Child.
By being born on this very day, there is no need for Africa and the world to look any further in pursuit of who has replaced Nelson Mandela considering the fact that an icon was given to us on the very day - YOUTH DAY.
This is symbolic and needs no divination to decode the predestined rise of this icon.
Having been born at a medical facility where Tata Mandela, Albertina Sisulu and many other South African luminaries received much of their healthcare -- these are telly telly signs and prophetic symbolism.
Exhibiting and exuding fascinating leadership skills, eloquence, platinum charisma, 100 carat diamond character and evident humanity, the leaderly Rich-Leigh, is the promise of the consolation of the African continent and the world at large.
Decorated with true marks of an icon, a leader par excellence, a Grace-filled and flavoured dynamic speech, wisdom saturated mental stamina - surely even the best adjective constellation will not exhaust and neither will the best of superlatives do a better discription!
My daughter Rich- Leigh, my jubilation and the pridely honour of playing the Joshephy- role with regards to your birth humbles me as I conform to mortality wishing you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Glory be to God!
