The Rep

Subject help and advice for youth

- By Zolile Menzelwa

MENTORSHIP Foundation Africa, a youth platform that aims to create inter-generation­al dialogues among the youth of Africa on pertinent issues facing youth developmen­t, will host a dialogue in Queenstown on January 30.

Co-founder and chairman Masonwabe Fuma, speaking to The Rep on Monday, said the dialogue – themed “What can the youth of Queenstown do to empower and develop themselves?” will have subject leaders share their expertise and knowledge.

“The sessions will be flexible to allow interactio­n between panellists and the audience via a question and answer session. The organisati­on aims to foster mentorship and robust debates around youth social ills, unemployme­nt and education issues.”

He said the young people of South Africa were the future leaders, businessme­n and politician­s with the concern that young people resorted to crime and substance abuse when facing challenges.

The dialogue will take place at the Queens Casino and Hotel conference facility.
