Youth Month programmes in eMbalenhle empower young people despite some challenges

Sakhile Mazibuko, a young person from eMbalenhle, said that in recent years, Youth Month has featured a variety of programmes that benefit some young people.

Through these initiatives, the youth gain knowledge about available services that help them address challenges, become empowered, and develop life skills to cope with various social pressures affecting both themselves and the country as a whole.

He added that some activities also promote health and wellness.

However, he noted that certain difficulties and limited success in some initiatives have discouraged participation, causing some young people to miss out—although a few still manage to benefit.
