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 Zukhanye Ngcwayi, “Youth Month, to me, is a bittersweet reminder of our ongoing struggle. While we celebrate the progress brought by our democracy—progress that has empowered us to dream, speak, and act—we must never forget the youth of 1976 and the life of Hector Pieterson, whose sacrifice lit the path we walk today. As a young person myself, I believe we honour their legacy not just in memory, but in action—by being bold, expressive, and unwavering in bringing truth to power about the issues that continue to hinder our advancement. Our voices matter, and our courage can still shape the future.” #youthmonth2025 #allhandsondeck #metroatwork #siyasebenza #buildingtheeasterncapewewant #anationthatworksforall
