There is no one waiting to save us. We must save ourselves | Lindiwe Mazibuko | TEDxEuston
Lindiwe was on a recruit mission at to get young African diasporas to take up positions in public service in Africa. She states that Africa has a problem of nicely polished
policies without implementation. She made a case for young people not to be disgusted with politics but get in there and be the change we believe. She said: 'Remittance isn't enough for the diaspora who want to give back. They must also share their skills and experience with Africa. Your country
and continent needs you. Not later... Now!
Lindiwe Mazibuko was until recently the Leader of the Opposition in the South African National Assembly, making her the Democratic Alliance’s (DA) youngest-ever
parliamentary leader and the first black woman in South African history to be elected to the post of Leader of the Opposition. Mazibuko committed herself to making
Parliament the true centre of robust political debate and engagement in South Africa. In May 2014, at the end of her term and following a successful electoral campaign in which the DA grew its share of the national vote from 16% to 22%, Mazibuko announced that she would take a sabbatical from active politics.
In May 2015, she graduated from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government with a Master of Public
Administration (MPA), and since September 2015 she has been in residence at the Institute of Politics (IOP) at Harvard
University as a Fall Resident Fellow.

Proudly South African! No one says it like you Lindiwe! Continue shining as our Special Star!
Mazibuko for President ! Power and intelligence ! Someone you can trust and be proud of to call South African
I'm taking up the challenge. Especially at local government. My focus is the rural areas, where I'm from. And there development and eradication of poverty is a matter of urgency. We already have democracy, as useless as it is. DEVELOPMENT NOW!
Sharing this as a 27yr old American who is tired of the constitution being adjusted at whim. Thank you for this speech!!
Gosshhh Lady Mazibuko is such an inspiration to young adults like me.............Thank you Mam
ONE PERSON CAN'T GET THE JOB DONE,WE ALL HAVE TO START THINKING ABOUT HELPING AND WORKING WITH OUR PEOPLE IN AFRICA..ONLY WE CAN SAVE OURSELVES..
I wanna be a doctor or a teacher to help kids in africa. I had a calling, back then I just want to earn money and live good life. But It changed. Good life us helping.
By far the most inspirational South African at the moment
Brilliant talk Lindiwe!! Well done 👏👏👏

She should become president of South Africa, she represents us all, in all different levels. We need her.
Such a visionary. Africa needs more of these
AFRICAN YOUTHS ARE THE GAME CHANGER OF THEIR PATH ACT NOW; NOT TOMORROW
A truly phenomenal presentation. Thank you
Thank you lindiwe ♥️
I don't know you, but in fact I knew you were from South Africa 10 words in. Beautiful. And awesome.
Lindiwe mazibuko was a very dangerous politician to the corrupt ANC. I miss you lindiwe.
Soooo on point
Brilliant.
This is completely accurate I had to learn to save yourself the hard way like it or not in this era. Its okay to save other people just make sure you focus. Make sure you know yourself b4 letting someone tell you about yourself.
POWERFUL!
Welcome sweetheart god bless u ...take care
So Inspiring
True talk! but there's risk involved in African politics....those of us who are mature enough with a true love of our land & people and able to help pave the way for the unknown chosen future presidents, ministers, senators walking the streets, taking buses and not yet born...should start enterprises at home to help changes economies. The trade laws of 18th century need to be terminated old statutes removed and west & south africa need to band together to bring changes...east & North Africa (by this I mean countries within Africa) also need to realise that they can help each other....new currency need to be created to unify those countries just as central African countries did at the end of colonisation with the CFA...thereafter to bring in a brutal synopsis all African countries can unite and meet in talks to make new internal & trade policies to the benefit of the continent and the external countries it would be able to trade with! Africa is truly resource rich land and should be the bread basket of the world...with that sun and soil we can grow anything...there's serious money in agriculture...oil will eventually run out! Africans should exchange oil for western technology to start with. western natural resources are their technology! stop exchanging oil for dollars hence corruption!!!
Wow I'm impressed
Undilahle ku Mandela... She lost me at honoring a sellout but, I will continue to listen
WOW Young people, you need to listen to this and take up the challenge. I am taking up the challenge #LindiweMazibuko

As long as you wait until the future! You don't know anything yet! (Relatively speaking..). Every ten years of your life, you SHOULD understand that statement ever more. I was a completely different creature at age 30 than I was at 20. (again at 40) Even though, I was certain, I knew all there was to know, at age 20! Most things worth knowing, you CAN'T KNOW until you are older! Next year I'm 50. I'm glad I had the world when it was at its best, I'm equally glad I won't be here to see the nightmare your generation will turn it into!
I love her accent.
Waiting for Lindiwe to come back to South Africa and I will join her in politics.
count me in Lindiwe, i will apply.
👊
Listening to this in 2018 is just depressing.

Hee kanti how did you know that the ANC will start pushing Nkosazana Zuma in our faces,.. Well done
Omg lot minds around the world. So strange so many people have had no perspective now they all have someone else's perspective. Different perspectives are not the problem each person has one so having a view is easy but having a view that is ur own organic and well thought out so untill each person has the ability to reclaim the one true freedom that each have and can't be taken only relinquished. Freedom of thought, to do your own critical thinking, claim ur mind and find the truth then build up from that foundation for ur thoughts and ideas so u can always know yourself and what you are capable of. So many of these people should like they want you to fight and remember ,a house divided against itself cannot stand. It is a false paradigm false choice its all to controll us it it the illusion of law. Public and are not the answer... please people I am a 35 yr old father of two baby girls 2, and 4. A widower as well. I see what is happening please see. I'm praying all see past this dimension presented and prove all things.
Public Service Interest - Hope it finds you @Lindiwe

communicating an important message to an audience is a skill people take years to master. She reads points in order to avoid rambling, going off topic or any such errors that might cause the audience to recieve a distorted version of her thoughts

Welfare is a poverty machine.
And it seems like Ramaphosa is failing to fix this country as he hasn't arrested not even a single person who was involved in the state capture. The economy is going down. We need you Lindiwe, if you can join the ANC or establish your own political party together with Maimane, I believe you guys can save South Africa
2min in and my heart is racing with anticipation of what else she's going to say. I'm completely taken in and already like, "yup let's go, looks like I'm joining public office" 😅 really great talk
Why do politicians always keep reading notes 📝 it’s because they don’t want to go out Of line with political correctness, fallacies and accuracy in political deception.😀

Jesus did not die for our sins! Jesus came to teach us the Truth, so that we would stop behaving in ways that harm ourselves and others. Jesus came to teach us the Way of Love, which is also the Way of Forgiveness; for that reason, Jesus did not needed to be crucified and denounced. Jesus' crucifixion did not save us or wash away our sins, but it did succeed in making Jesus a martyr; which helped ensure that Jesus' teachings lived on. Jesus did came to save us, but from ourselves; from our own mistaken beliefs and our lack of Love; by teaching us another way. No one can actually save us but ourselves, no one is "freed" from themselves by a "Saviors" act; least of all, a "blood sacrifice." The concept of making a blood sacrifice, to win approval or forgiveness from God, is pure superstition; a throwback to primitive humankind and their ancient religions. A Savior brings the teachings, and then people must save themselves by applying those teachings in their lives. No one is saved without a commitment and some effort on their part to know the Truth and follow it; there is no other way. Jesus and others light the way, but each person must choose to step on the path of Love and live it. Again! Only we can free ourselves from ourselves and our mistaken beliefs.
Jesus wants to save everybody. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." (Acts 16:31)
I don't know. She's not contributing anything new. I've always known that young talented ppp should enter the public sphere. I'm not more or less motivated to do it because of this talk. I otherwise adore Lindiwe. She is a formidable woman.
POWERFUL!
