The vice president of the North West Youth Council, Ndum Charlotte on her part reminded the youths that they should forget about the political agenda behind the day, and come out to celebrate because it is a day meant for the youths:
“This is not a political agenda to show the world or whosoever that everything is fine in the region, of course not. However this is the National Youth Day. A day for the youths. It’s our day and we have to celebrate it, show those who govern us that we are around and remind them to do better by us”.
They also revealed that there are a lot of projects, which shall be beneficial to all the youths in the region in the days ahead.
“The entire executive bureau is currently working to secure more opportunities for the youths of this region and even as we speak the regional president is on a mission for the interest of the youths,” the vice president added.
