SLSJ has come to the realisation that the changing circumstances and nature of issues faced by young South Africans in particular, have changed from the time the organisation was formed. It becomes necessary for the organisation to review, not only its relevance in the light of the current student political sphere in South Africa, but to restructure to ensure that the role that SLSJ plays in this
context is effective, impactful and appealing in respect of striving for social justice. In a process of enquiry, the following vital questions need to be asked and defined as a point of departure:
1. SLSJ is a student-based civil society organisation which engages in activism that seeks to engage students and communities, in order to build a socially conscious generation that will appreciate and contribute towards the promotion of constitutional values, access to justice and the realisation of socio-economic rights in different communities through community service and other programmes.
2. To ignite a social consciousness that enables students to address the injustices of society
II. The advancement of Human Values values of: Freedom, equality and human dignity
III. Access to justice from the development of a consciousness to the realisation and respect of human rights in marginalised and poor communities. Revolutionary student activism dedicated to issues in higher education and the transformation thereof. Promotion of Socio-political transformation in order to redress the injustices of the past
