In preparing for the "demographic window" that I mentioned earlier, the President, Comrade Jacob Zuma, will be championing the implementation of the country's youth development agenda in order to direct the efforts of various stakeholders. In this regard, the President has mandated a presidential youth working group to be established to afford him the opportunity to interact with relevant stakeholders in the youth development space. As a platform for government, civil society, the private sector and institutions of higher learning, the Presidential Youth Working Group will be guided by the identified "big five" priorities.
