The Western Cape MEC of Community Safety, Dan Plato, together with officials from the Department of Community Safety, will continue with awareness outreach engagements on the various youth safety partnerships available, this time in Parkwood today.

Plato said we cannot allow a generation of youth to miss out on existing opportunities, both from the public and private sector, which will empower them to improve their own lives and the lives of their families.

Spokesperson Ewald Botha said the MEC of Community Safety Dan Plato will today spend the day as part of the community outreach, engaging with various N.G.O’s, the religious fraternity to discuss what various types of these opportunities available within the department of Community Safety and some other programs within the Western Cape government as well.

“Engagements we have with the youth specifically on the various opportunities of which the Northlink Bursary and the Chrysalis Academy offer for them” Botha added.
