There’s a baby in a suitcase.
A woman dead on the side of the road.
90% of our brothers drink to forget,
And the rest are smoking to escape.

This is not a movie.
This is our everyday reality.

We are burying more than we are building.
We are attending more funerals than graduations.
And while our homes cry silent tears…
The rich get richer.
Criminals lead youth structures.
Deals are signed over dinner, while we sleep with hunger.

How did we get here?
How did death become so normal for the young?

We are watching the Wild Coast rot —
But we are not helpless.

We will not fold our arms.
We are the ones who must turn this pain into purpose.
The ones who must rise, even if our legs are shaking.

To every youth still standing — this is your call.
Not to hope.
To act.
To take your power back.

No one is coming to save us.
We are the ones.

They say the youth are the future.
But what happens when the future never arrives?

Every week, we bury another young dream — stolen by drugs, drowned in alcohol, lost to violence, or quietly killed by hopelessness.
Not because they were weak… but because the world around them gave up first.

Unemployment is not just a number. It’s a funeral. It’s a mother crying. It’s a coffin that shouldn’t exist.
And here in the Wild Coast, our silence is costing lives.

We don’t want pity.
We want purpose.
We want opportunity.
We want to live.

We will fight to bring light back into the Wild Coast. Even if the system won’t.

Workers' Day was yesterday… but here in the Wild Coast, there was nothing to celebrate.

No jobs.
No dignity.
No recognition.

While others posted "Happy Workers' Day" with their uniforms and titles, our youth sat at home, watching yet another year go by without a breakthrough.

And still… we remain hopeful.
Because even though the system seems blind to our pain — we are not voiceless.

The Voice of the Wild Coast Youth is rising. We are not here to fight against progress — we are the ones fighting for it.
We are the ones standing in the gap when projects get delayed.
We are the ones calling out the gatekeepers.
We are the ones pushing for training, for jobs, for opportunities.

If government and big business truly want peace, progress and prosperity — they must work with the people. And we are the people.

Let’s not wait for another Workers’ Day to ask the same questions. It’s time to act.

Amadiba Crisis Committee: Are They Fighting For Us or Against Us?

The Wild Coast is full of potential.
New roads, new jobs, new businesses.
Yet somehow, every time progress starts, certain groups rise up to stop it.
One group is called the Amadiba Crisis Committee (ACC) — but are they truly helping us... or blocking us from eating?

Let’s talk real facts:

In 2017, the N2 Wild Coast Road Project officially launched, including the Mtentu Bridge and Msikaba Bridge near Lusikisiki.

These projects were expected to create over 6,800+ local jobs and inject millions into small village businesses.

In early 2018, construction of the Mtentu Bridge was stopped, mainly because of court actions by activists, including the ACC.

Construction companies pulled out, workers lost jobs, and local SMMEs suffered.

R330 million was wasted during delays — money that could have built clinics, youth centres and roads for the very same villages.

Meanwhile, some of the ACC leaders today are living outside the Wild Coast, attending international conferences while we struggle to find work.

Questions We Must Ask Ourselves:

If you don't live here, should you be blocking opportunities here?

If you date foreign investors and live in suburbs, are you really speaking for the struggling rural youth?

If projects are blocked but no new jobs are created by those blocking — who benefits really?

We Are Not Blind: We see those who cry "save the land" while they block every small chance for us to rise.
We see those who build their careers while our young people sit in taverns with no jobs.
We are tired of empty slogans.
We want real opportunities.

The Wild Coast must rise — with or without those pretending to defend us!

Wild coast N2 Project: a dark cloud hangs over it

R4.5 billion later, and all we have are bridges to nowhere.

Contractors are eating. Politicians are spinning. Friends and family are getting “empowered.” But the people who actually live here?
Still waiting. Still unemployed.
Still being used in PR stunts and stats that don't match the dust on the ground.

Where are the impact reports? Where’s the 30% local benefit? Where are the skills transfers promised in 2021?

We’re told everything’s on track — but visit Mdatya, Sigidi, or Msikaba and ask them how “on track” it feels.

The Voice of the Wild Coast Youth isn’t here to fight — we’re here to hold the mirror up. To track every cent. Every name. Every deadline.

We’re not just posting. We’re documenting. We’re not just watching. We’re organising.

And if no one’s going to answer these questions — we will.

“R2.6 Billion Later… and Still No Bridge”

In 2017, the N2 Wild Coast Road project was launched with a R8.7 billion budget allocation for phase one alone — including the Mbizana and Mtentu mega-bridges. By 2021, over R2.6 billion had already been spent, yet the Mtentu Bridge site was abandoned mid-construction.

What happened?

Aveng-Strabag JV pulled out, citing “community unrest.” But community leaders claim they were never consulted, and now rumours of internal sabotage, tender rigging, and political interference are swirling like Eastern Cape dust.

Sources close to the project confirm that over 60% of subcontractor appointments were awarded to companies with direct links to provincial officials — including "Mafutha Civils", reportedly owned by a cousin of a former MEC, and "ZamZam Earthworks", which only appeared post-tender approval.

A 2023 audit leaked to insiders shows that R167 million was paid for security and 'site protection', even though the site has remained inactive since 2019.

Where is the money going? Who’s really benefiting?

Reports say R24 million was spent on “community liaison services” in Mbizana alone — yet none of the local forums can confirm receiving this.

They think we’re sleeping.

But The Voice of the Wild Coast Youth has names, dates, numbers, and we're not scared to say it: this is not development — this is state-sanctioned looting with concrete boots on.

The so-called “jobs” being created? Less than 15% local employment, with most of the workforce brought in from outside provinces. Families and friends of project insiders.

Who’s really building the Wild Coast? And for whom?

We’re not asking anymore. We’re demanding answers.

Stand with us. Question everything.

They didn’t expect us. Now they can’t ignore us.

While others hold meetings behind closed doors, we are out here in the sun, walking the same dust roads as the youth they’ve forgotten.
We’re not some fancy name on a spreadsheet.
We are The Voice of the Wild Coast Youth—and we’re not just speaking. We’re leading.

Bridges are being built. Billions are being moved.
And while they argue in air-conditioned boardrooms, we’re already in action.
From Mtentu to Mzamba, from Lusikisiki to the N2—we’re there. Documenting. Organizing. Protecting. Mobilizing.

We are the generation that refuses to be left out.
No jobs? No colleges? No lights? No water?
Still—we rise.

To the builders, the funders, the decision makers: we see you.
To the youth: stand with us, the wave has already begun.

This is our land.
This is our voice.
This is The Voice of the Wild Coast Youth.

BREAKING:

Millions are being poured into our land…
Bridges are going up… But our futures are falling down.

Foreign hands are busy building…
While Wild Coast youth sit in darkness — no water, no jobs, no hope.

Where are the jobs?
Where is the training?
Where is the respect?

Kutheni kufuneka sibukele abantu abavela phandle bephila iphupho elenziwe ngumhlaba wethu?
(Why must we watch outsiders live the dream built on our land?)

We are not just voices —
We are the storm coming.

If you’re tired of being invisible — JOIN US.

The Voice of the Wild Coast Youth is open to everyone who’s ready to fight for their seat.
We don’t want donations.
We want action.
We want access.
We want POWER.
