On June 15, the North West Department of Public Works and Roads hosted an event in celebration of Youth Month with over 300 participants of the National Youth Service Programme (NYSP). The NYSP offers skills development programmes in areas such as bricklaying, plumbing, and road work aid, and participants will receive certificates upon completing their training.
June holds a significant meaning in South Africa as it marks the 47th anniversary of the Soweto uprising, where the youth made immense sacrifices in the fight for freedom. To honor this legacy, the North West Department of Public Works and Roads is celebrating Youth Month with the beneficiaries of the National Youth Service Programme (NYSP).
