Youth representatives behaviour criticised

By Chanel September

As the month of June draws to a close, so does Youth Month, which celebrates the 30th anniversary of the June 16th uprisings. The Republic of South Africa therefore hosted a National Youth Parliament to not only celebrate but also commemorate the Youth Month. The debated issues that were discussed at the youth parliament were those core problems affecting the youth of South Africa today. Some youth representatives behaviour were critised. Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Ms Gwen Mahlangu said that she was embarrassed at the behaviour and felt that some representatives should be given the rules of parliament as youth issues in South Africa are to be taken seriously.
