Zuma, Youth, Mark Youth Day
President Jacob Zuma has praised the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) for its work in improving the lives of young people, but remained baffled by people who torched public buildings to complain about services.
Speaking during this year’s Youth Day commemoration in Thulamahashe, Mpumalanga, Zuma pointed out that, “It is still baffling as to why someone would torch down a clinic because they do not have a school or destroy a library because the water taps have run dry."
Regarding the NYDA, Zuma argued that the country is making progress towards addressing youth issues through the NDYA. He said the one-year old NDYA helped create more than 30 000 jobs, issued more than 4 000 business support vouchers, and had helped improve access of the youth to funds.
