The South African Government will commemorate Youth Day 2024 at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
The Acting Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Maropene
Ramokgopa, called on South Africans to come together and embrace unity in our
diversity to further strengthen our democracy
South Africa commemorates Youth Month under the theme,
“Actively advancing socioeconomic gains in our democracy”.
“We celebrate the socioeconomic gains that have been made
in our democracy, yet also acknowledge that there is more to be done. Sport,
Arts, and Culture play an important role in the mood and identity of our
nation. Our commitment stands to continue developing the sectors,’’ said the
Minister.
“As we continue to advance the socioeconomic gains of our
democracy, we commit as Government to continue our endeavour to quantify, to
lift and to develop the country’s sport, arts and culture sectors,’’ she added.
This year marks the 48th anniversary of the 16 June 1976 student uprising in Soweto, when young people protested against the Bantu
Education Act, which enforced Afrikaans as a medium of instruction in schools
and apartheid laws that oppressed black South Africans.
