From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Khaya Xaba Sent: 25 October 2011 04:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [YCLSA Discussion] Programme and REMINDER for the Jobs for Youth Summit 2011 MEDIA ADVOSORY: For Immediate Release Programme and REMINDER for the Jobs for Youth Summit 2011 25 October 2011 The 2nd Annual Jobs for Youth Summit is going ahead from 26-28 October 2011 (starting tommorrow) at the Eskom Convention Centre in Midrand starting at 10h00. Already, 164 youth organisations have confirmed to participate in the Summit. Convened under the theme: "Jobs for Youth to End Poverty and Inequality"leaders of youth political formations, trade-unions affiliated to COSATU, traditional leaders, young entrepreneurs, young academics, leaders of youth co-operatives, government ministers and bureaucrats, students leaders from COSAS, SASCO and SAUS, the South African Youth Council; and all young people interested in consolidating a Jobs for Youth blueprint have confirmed to attend. The Keynote Address to the Summit will be delivered by the newly appointed Deputy Minister in the Presidency: Monitoring and Evaluation, Mr. Obed Bapela. The Director Generals of Mineral Resources, National Planning and Economic Development will also address the Summit and discuss possible solutions to youth unemployment. The Ministers of Higher Education & Training, Public Enterprise and Envioronmental Affairs have also confirmed to address the Summit. The Deputy National Chairperson of the NYDA, whom his institution has expressed its support for the Summit, will deliver the Opening and Welcome address. "This will be the only platform within which young people can air their collective and united voice to challenge leaders in government and the private sector and ensure that they directly influence policy rather than shouting on the sidelines. This Summit will also be historic in that it is held in the year our government declared as a "Year for Jobs", and taking place in the backdrop of the Medium Term Budget Framework Statement delivered by Pravin Gordan earlier today." said Buti Manamela, National Secretary of the YCLSA. "The Summit will, in the end, emerge with resolutions and a declaration focusing on economic transformation, skills development, and education and mining transformation. The Summit will also detail a clear Plan of Action for engagement with all sectors of society in order to change the lives of the 4 million young people who are neither in a job nor in an education or skills institution. "Our mission is clear; we will create a single youth voice of youth to reverse their miseries, fight inequality, poverty and unemployment" Manamela further said that this will not just be a talkshop and for normal rhetoric, but about practical and pragmatic programmes to push government for more jobs, and encourage youth initiatives to create jobs or be absorbed in the labour market. He further said that this will not be a "One Night Stand" with the unemployed youth, but a focused and consistent programme to create sustainable jobs for young people. He emphasised that the diversity in views but unity in purpose of the delegates would be the strength of the Summit and the basis within which all young people will get mobilised into action.
