Throughout South Africa on June 16 we celebrate Youth Day to commemorate the Soweto Uprisings. Youth Parliament, which is being held tomorrow June 09, 2009 is one such event set to commemorate Youth Day.
We spoke to Western Cape Provincial Parliament Speaker, Shahid Esau who will be chairing Youth Parliament this year. Honourable Speaker Esau is one of the event organizers. The aim of youth parliament is to engage the youth as well as various stakeholders both within parliament and in the community, to discuss issues pertaining to the youth of today.
We also discussed the difference in the level of involvement in political affairs between the youth of today and the generation before.
