Hon Chair, since 2011 the SA National Defence Force, SANDF, in co-operation with the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform, has provided its facilities in Bloemfontein, Kimberley and Saldanha Military Bases for National Rural Youth Service Corps training. In total, over 3 000 youths participated and were equipped with social, life, leadership and management skills.
A youth camp for youths of ages between 17 and 24 is currently being planned by the Department of Social Development for 500 young people, and this, again, we will host in December in Bloemfontein. These young people were identified through the district dialogues. Of course, we urge the South African public to support all programmes related to youth development and to build partnerships with us. Thank you.
