MOLAHLENE STANLEY WANYANE
My involvement in student organisations, began with COSAS.  I was active in the Student Representative Council in the early part of the 1980's, at Gelokitso until I finished matric.
	I was also a member of SASCO, the student congress at University.  In 1997/1998 I was the Chairperson of the Meadowlands branch of the then Soweto Youth Congress.  I served also in the Walter Sizulu Zone of the Soweto Youth Congress, that comprise areas Dobsonville, Meadowlands, Diepkloof and Dube.
	I also represented the Branch in the then Area Committees of the United Democratic Front.  I served for a while in the Soweto Civic Association, I was helping the comrades there, in my capacity as the Chairperson of the Youth Congress and I also served for a while in the Central Executive Committee of the Soweto Youth Congress during the state of emergency years.
	That was the time when virtually the entire Executive Committee was in detention.  I was one of the very lucky few not to have been detained.
