The IFP Youth Brigade is calling for greater youth involvement that will be meaningful and to provide solutions to the very real problems confronting youth, as young people are key to economic and social progress in developing countries; South Africa in particular.

IFP Youth Brigade National Chairperson, Mkhuleko Hlengwa said this conference must provide proper solutions to address youth challenges.

Hlengwa said Government must ensure that the voice of young people is included in policy-making and implementation.

Hlengwa said the youth need to be at the forefront of global change and innovation, by ensuring that they have an opportunity to participate fully in the affairs of their societies, including national development.

“We need to unite our efforts and stand up and be the vanguards of democracy to make meaningful gains” Hlengwa added.
