More than 70% of the youth in this country are among the 25% that are unemployed. The youth are predominantly unemployed. We have an unemployment crisis in this country, Minister. My question has always been: Is the National Youth Development Agency the correct vehicle to address the question of youth unemployment? [Interjections.]
Furthermore, Minister, as Cope we believe that the allocation given to the National Youth Development Agency to address the scourge of unemployment is not enough. In addition, the same National Youth Development Agency, instead of addressing the plight of the poorest of the poor at Cofimvaba - abantu cannot be taken anywhere - they spend and send money to contribute towards the leadership squabbles in this country. The youth of the ANC, the youth of Cope and the youth of the DA and the youth of all our people continue to suffer. [Interjections.]
The National Youth Development Agency is a disgrace to Anton Lembede.
