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 Haylon Pharaoh, “Youth Month is a time for me to reflect on the power, responsibility, and potential that come with being young. It reminds me of the sacrifices made by young people before me especially in my country - who stood up for justice, equality, and freedom, even when it was dangerous to do so. Their courage gives me strength and reminds me that my voice matters. Surround yourself with people who uplift you, believe in your vision, and challenge you to grow. Trust your journey, even when it's hard to see the destination. You have the strength to rise above any obstacle, and the world needs your energy, your passion, and your unique voice.” #youthmonth2025 #allhandsondeck #metroatwork #siyasebenza #buildingtheeasterncapewewant #anationthatworksforall
