Deputy Minister in the Presidency for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, Mr Buti Manamela will tomorrow 29 October address the Young Africa Works Summit. This is the first summit organised by the Mastercard foundation and it will be hosted in Cape Town.

Deputy Minister Manamela is therefore expected to highlight government’s commitment to provide young people with economic opportunities and allowing them to realise their full potential through optimal access to opportunities.
The National Youth Policy 2020 introduced interventions to promote economic participation for youth in the rural areas.
