South Africa: IFBYB Reiterates Calls for Creation of Youth Ministry

press release

IFP Youth Brigade National Chairperson, and South Africa's youngest Member of Parliament, Mkhuleko Hlengwa MP, today reiterated the call he made in parliament on November 1, 2012 for the creation of a Youth Ministry to respond directly to youth matters. Hlengwa was speaking during the inauguration of IFP branches in Izingolweni, just outside Port Shepstone.

"The results of the 2011 Census released on Tuesday reveal that almost 60% of the South African population are youth (aged under 35). This revelation speaks the urgent need for a Youth Ministry to be created to deal directly with issues affecting the majority of our country, the youth who bear most the brutal brunt of the challenges facing South Africa." said Hlengwa.
