Mhlauli calls on young people to vote in LGE

Deputy President Nonceba Mhlauli has urged the young people to exercise their right to vote in the upcoming local government elections scheduled for November 4. Mhlauli made this call while releasing the Presidential Youth Employment Interventions report for the first quarter of the 2026/27 financial year in Pretoria. The report indicates that nearly 140,000 earning and learning opportunities were created for young people through various government initiatives during the period.

Mhlauli emphasized that young people hold a crucial position in the nation's development. She highlighted that if young people remain inactive due to their grievances, those who participate get the chance to make decisions on their behalf. Therefore, Mhlauli stressed the importance of young people taking responsibility for their future, their country, and their local communities by actively participating in the electoral process.
