The National Youth Development Agency on Tuesday postponed its next youth awards ceremony following the suspension last week of its CEO. 

Meanwhile the Democratic Alliance said given the poor track record of the NYDA, and with the millions of young South Africans without access to job opportunities, it is not reasonable for the organization to spend millions on one event. 

It has been reported that the NYDA will spend R10 million on the awards this year.  DA MP of the Minister of the Presidency Joe McGluwa said they do not need the agency anymore.

McGluwa added that minister of Public Enterprises Malusi Gigaba also does not see any improvement in the NYDA.
