Thank you, Mr Speaker. Mr Deputy President, government has declared that the eradication of poverty must happen via economic growth and job creation. The President has stated that the new growth path will be the catalyst to create five million additional jobs by 2020, and that job creation among the youth will be of specific and very high strategic importance.
Mr Deputy President, in the 2011 Budget, R1,22 billion was allocated to the National Youth Development Agency, NYDA, over the next three years to facilitate job creation among the youth. Could you please tell us in what way the National Youth Development Agency will facilitate this? Also, how many additional jobs have been set as their target which will contribute to the eradication of poverty and the creation of additional jobs? Thank you, Mr Speaker.
