June is commemorated as Youth Month

 

JUNE IS COMMEMORATED AS YOUTH MONTH The year 2021 marks 45 years since the June 16 student uprising of 1976. When June 16 was declared Youth Day in 1994, it was aimed at remembering those who died and suffered during this dark day, as well as to celebrate those who carry their legacy and principles of selflessness, determination and devotion that are necessary for success and growth for any society or nation. The theme of this year’s Youth Month is ‘The Year of Charlotte Mannya Maxeke: Growing youth employment for an inclusive and transformed society’. The entire country is encouraged to participate in Youth Month by recognising the present and future role of the youth in shaping the socio-economic landscape of the country.
