Yes, thank you, hon Speaker. Mr President, arising from your answer, I would like to point out a number of failures of the National Youth Development Agency. Their executives earn millions, while unemployment amongst the youth in the country hovers at 50%. The most noteworthy achievement of the NYDA, so far, has been a youth festival which cost taxpayers an outrageous R100 million. The NYDA claimed it was a success, but there was no tangible outcome in terms of youth development in South Africa.
Mr President, if a Ministry for the youth is not on the cards, what will this government do to assure South Africans that the interests, prosperity and success of all our country's youth, and not just a few connected ANC youth, will be looked after through the NYDA in future? And what mechanisms will be put in place to monitor the NYDA's performance, successes and failures? I thank you, Mr President. [Applause.]
