The Democratic Alliance says the draft new National Youth Policy for 2014-2019 contains no new ideas instead repeats old ideas about the youth employment accord which has been a complete failure to date. 

Meanwhile in a statement the National Youth Development Agency says the DA is misreading the take on the youth wage subsidy. 

DA Deputy MP in the Presidency Michael Cardo said the DA believes the Youth wage subsidy should be implemented at scale, that it should be ramped up.

Cardo added that the broadening of the Youth wage subsidy should be absolutely central to the National Youth Policy and that is what we are going to make the focus of our submission going forward.
