Deputy Minister in the Presidency for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, Mmapaseka Steve Letsike, has launched You(th), a flagship bi-weekly newsletter aimed at closing the information gap between government and the country’s youth.
The online publication will provide young South Africans with access to government initiatives, provide a platform for young people to access information, resources, and opportunities that can help them thrive.
Letsike said the launch of You(th) is a significant step towards empowering young South Africans with the information and resources they need to succeed.
