Being a rebel without a cause
The Citizen|November 02, 2024
It's probably impossible to be a real naughty schoolboy these days, because you'd get yourself killed.
Hein Kaiser

But the late '80s and early '90s were the perfect time to get away with a lot.

Rebellion is a natural state of being for any teenager, and I was no different. I was probably on the extreme side of the spectrum. But hell, the conservatives at the Afrikaans high school I attended, made sure those straws were laden with lead.

I will never forget civvies days at school. Inevitably I ended up in the principal's office for donning an End Conscription Campaign or Free Mandela T-shirt.
