  • Mrs KR Morena
    To : News Editors The Mpumalanga Provincial Government will convene a Provincial Youth Development Summit. As we celebrate 20 years of democracy, government intends to intensify its commitment to youth development in South Africa. Historically, young people have played a pivotal role in the liberation struggle, which has brought about the democracy we enjoy today. Youth groups such as the class of 1976, in Soweto took to the streets against the might of the apartheid regime in a quest for freedom, equality and human rights. The power, resilience and determination that young people showed then, is still present, but the challenge facing our society today is to harness that determination for advancement of our nation. This force of youth can be used to combat challenges facing our communities today such as: poverty, unemployment, skills shortage, limited access to business opportunities, substance abuse, crime and violence against the vulnerable. In his 2013 State of the Province Address, the Honorable Premier of Mpumalanga Province, Mr. DD Mabuza declared that his office will establish a dedicated unit to foster youth development in the province. The formation of this unit is tasked in the main with tackling and championing matters of youth development in the province through the office of the premier. To this end, the Mpumalanga Provincial Government, through the Office of the Premier and in conjunction with the Mpumalanga Department of Education will be hosting the inaugural 2014 MPUMALANGA YOUTH DEVELOPMENT SUMMIT as a platform to solicit views and ideas from the very youth of the province of Mpumalanga. The 2014 Mpumalanga Youth Development Summit is a two (2) days event hosted by the Mpumalanga Provincial Government in collaboration with the Mpumalanga Department of Education, supported by various strategic partners from both public and private sectors for the youth of Mpumalanga.
