*YCLSA National Secretary joins Ministers to hand over house to the Mhlongo Family*
*26 November 2009* The National Secretary of the Young Communist League of SA, Buti Manamela, joined Minister of Home Affairs, Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma; Premier of KwaZulu Natal, Zweli Mkhize and other Ministers and Deputy Minister to hand over a house to the family of the late Skhumbuzo Mhlongo in Pinetown, Emololweni. Mhlongo committed suicide last month after he was denied an Identity Document by officials at Home Affairs. Mhlongo is survived by two sisters and a brother, who were there to receive the house. The YCLSA also fundraised the furniture for the new house and mobilised young volunteers to help in building the house. This is part of the YCL “Kabelo Thibedi ID Campaign” to ensure that young people have access to ID’s, and an improvement of service delivery. Through the Kabelo Thibedi Campaign, more than 15 000 young people have managed to get access to Identity Documents. Speaking to journalists at the handing over, Manamela appealed to the youth not to consider suicide as an option to the many problems they may be facing. Manamela also committed the YCLSA to work together with the new Minister, and pledged that the YCLSA will continue to go all out and ensure that young people get their ID’s. *Issued by the YCLSA Head Office* *For more information please contact * *Gugu Ndima (National spokesperson)* *076 783 1516* -- Gugu Ndima +27 76 783 1516 -- You are subscribed.
