The speaker of the National Assembly‚ Baleka Mbete‚ has urged the youth to stop destroying the country's infrastructure. Mbete was addressing members of the media on Tuesday in Johannesburg about the discussions that will come up at the National Youth Parliament which will take place in Kliptown‚ Soweto‚ in Johannesburg on June 29 and 30. The objectives of the Youth Parliament are to debate contemporary issues facing young South Africans and to create an opportunity for youth to engage with Parliament‚ the provincial legislatures‚ national youth structures and local government. "Young people must know that they are future leaders and they will inherit what they are part of building [the nation] and that in fact‚ governance of this country‚ in particular local government‚ is in their hands."Whether you want to destroy this building‚ it will be your problem tomorrow on how you will deal with the reality that you destroyed the building… because you were making a point‚" said Mbete.She added that they would spare no effort to communicate their concerns about deviant behaviour that did not build the nation.Without naming the Economic Freedom Fighters‚ Mbete said the red berets were not setting a good example for the youth of this country."When [the youth] watches parliament‚ what are they seeing? What example are they getting? I think these are all the questions that will come up in the deliberations in the next two days‚" said the speaker."The necessity for our youth to realise that the one thing they cannot afford‚ is to squander the opportunity of today."This event is as part of the commemoration of the 40th anniversary of June 16 when more than 10‚000 youth took to the streets of Soweto‚ to protest against the introduction of Afrikaans as a medium of instruction in township schools.Mbete was flanked by the chairperson of the National Council of Provinces‚ Thandi Modise‚ and deputy speakers of the national assembly...
