Comrade Kenny, I fully agree with Cde Sive. NYDA is doing fairly well under the budgetary and institutional capabilities' circumstances. You do not have to get you neighbor to get Grant funding to start business for one to acknowledge the good work done by this Agency of Government. 2nd Chance programme is going on now for those youth who will soon sit for matric exams. Without reiterating the statement by Cde Yershen Pillay the Chaiperson on NYDA, NYDA can never be the panacea to challenges facing young people in the Republic of South Africa!
There are only 03 Government Departments I am aware of with Youth Directorates, Youth Units in most Municipalities are either in adequately resourced or lack capacity to execute youth development Programmes. State Owned Entities are also not that committed to deliver on youth development mandates. However, the signing of the Youth Employment Accord was a milestone towards the right direction. We need to ensure that Private Sector, Departments, Parastatals are able to deliver on those Commitments! Maatla!
