=ANC Youth League commemorates Solomon Mahlangu=

On the 06 April 1979, the apartheid regime murdered Solomon "Kalushi" Mahlangu,following what was a clear mistrial, despite international condemnation and calls for clemency. The ANC YL will be commemorating and celebrating the life of this young giant and a soldier, who remains a symbol of young people commitment in a struggle against all forms injustices. In his honor, the ANC YL this year will heighten its campaign on "Jobs For Youth" and accelerate our engagement with private sector in order to deal with unacceptable levels of unemployment among the youth.

We will broaden our campaign to popularise the Further Education and Education among the youth as part of a broader movement to alleviate skills shortage in the country and create employment for the youth. We will mobilise the youth in an unprecedented mass action to force the government to implement the massive National Youth Service programme, and adopt the integrated youth development strategy to strengthen youth development co-ordination and implementation.
