Members of the media are invited to apply for accreditation for the National Youth Day Commemoration taking place on 16 June 2015 at Tshwane Events Centre (Show grounds) under the theme "Youth Moving South Africa Forward”.
This year marks 39 years since the 16 June 1976 uprisings, 21 years since South Africa attained freedom and 60 years since the adoption of the Freedom Charter. The Freedom Charter declared, amongst other things, that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white, and that no government can justly claim authority unless it is based on the will of all the people.

Date: 16 June 2015
Time: 8h00
