I fully agree with you, Cde Wonder.

The NYDAA does not repeal provincial youth commission act. This is an oversight which has a bearing on operational issues but the act does make emphasy on the establishment of provincial and local offices.

The onus is on NCOP (as an another house in parliament) to nullify the youth commission acts in all provinces. Or Provincial Legislatures should abort the provincial youth commission acts. If the acts continues, we will have provincial youth commissions existing alongside provincial and local offices of NYDA. This dichotomy should be addressed before the NYDA is fully into effect.

The NYCA did not anyhow speak of the establishment of provincial youth commissions. Their existence is not anyhow dependent on the NYCA. So this is a serious nightmare that might create a stumbling block to the establishment of NYDA.

Lets engage Macabane!!

Mdu,

i believe that you know that there are nine provincial youth commissions and the act doesn't repeal any of them. please advice me if i am wrong. that means all nine youth commissions are not affected if their constitutions are not repealed

Can anyone clarify us with regard to the issues raised by Cde Funky and Cde Wonder.

When I read the Act, it emerged to me that one structure (unitary) will be formed. Section 3(1)(a) outlines the one of the objects of the Agency as to "develop an Integrated Youth Development Plan and Strategy for South Africa". The section does not give national geographic location but South Africa as a centre - Doesn't this tell us of the unitary agency that the act seeks to establish.

Section 5 (1) (b) of the act recognizes as the function of the agency to "establish offices of the agency at provincial and local level and appoint the necessary personnel to those offices". Doesn't this section tells us of one unitary structure with provincial and local offices established by the Agency and not premiers and mayors as the inputs of both comrades suggested.

Lets read the act (ATTACHED) and acclimatize ourselves with its content. Amandla!!

I agree with you Cde Wonder,

Can you amagine a situation where North West, Northern Cape and
Mpumalanga provinces with only 3-5 commissioners including chairperson
as things stand now, wii addrerss a question of institutional
arrangements to allow Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plans
[SDBIP] to accomodate the needs of young people in those areas. This
will be difficult coz, for instance, the Budget of City of Jorburg Metro
Municipality alone is bigger than Northern Cape Province as a province.
How will they disburse resources to ensure improved assisstance to young
people

So i think a unitary institution whose budget will come from national
fiscus [treasury] downward, [not from municipalitites, provinces ect
which dont have funding capacity as things stand now] is very crucial
issue to consider. lets hope the logistical issue can be sorted out
properly.

It seems the focus was only to merge Umsobomvu and Youth Commission
without due consideration of the creation of new capacity the NYDA
demands.

Comrades,

I have learnt that the president (cde Kgalema Mothlanthe) had accented
the bill of NYDA into law.

I have my own reservation with this legislation as it stands
currently.

It doesn't address the matter of a unitary institution that will
advance
youth development. That means, we will have a federal system where
provinces and municipality can implement deferent system, whether
working or not. This has a negative impact in running other provinces.
If Gauteng province has a surplus, they can't give it to eastern cape
because they are not liable to develop young people south Africa
generally but young people in Gauteng only.

Distribution of resources will be continuously be skewed on the basis
of
the budget of the province. This is another factor that will
continuously subject one province to have a lot of young people
flocking
in unnecessary because young people will always be looking for greener
pastures. The remainder of the province will have budgets without
young
people to serve.

Contrary, a unitary institution will invest in a province based on the
need rather than the pocket of the province. It will remove the
responsibility from the premiers and mayors to determine what is
relevant for young people. The challenge will be to monitor investment
in areas where those who are taking decision don't have interest in.
mis-representation by individuals who will not want certain projects
to
succeed, and so forth. But more young people will be benefiting than
in
the current arrangement.

I hope that the president will appoint people who will not develop
symptoms of greediness

Amandla,

wonder
