Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality celebrates Youth Month under the theme, “Skills for the Changing World - Empowering Youth for Meaningful Economic Participation.” In the words of Esethu Madlwabinga, “June 16 marks a pivotal moment in South African history, honouring the bravery of the youth who led the 1976 Soweto Uprising. Their fight against injustice and demand for education and freedom reshaped our nation and laid the groundwork for democracy. Youth Month is a time to remember their sacrifice and recognize the power of young people to drive change. It calls on us to support, empower, and listen to today’s youth as we continue building the future they fought for.” #youthmonth2025 #allhandsondeck #metroatwork #siyasebenza #buildingtheeasterncapewewant #anationthatworksforall
