Every year on the 16th of June South Africa commemorates the 1976 youth who stood up against the apartheid government and laid down their lives fighting for freedom and the right to equal education.

The launch will be led by Minister in the Presidency responsible for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation and NYDA under the theme: Live the legacy: Towards a socio-economically empowered youth”. 

The Youth Month takes place within the same year that South Africa marks the 100 years for Nelson Mandela and Albertina Sisulu.

Government and its agencies such as the National Youth Development Agency will over the month host a number of engagements including youth expos, dialogues and youth entrepreneur hubs to showcase opportunities available to young people.
