Lee-Marque Jansen, this Youth Day Event Coordinator for DA KouKamma says, “As an organisation we believe in empowering young people. We advocate a youth agenda that develop and nurture future leaders that can set an example to South Africans.
We support the youth in creating opportunities to realise their immense potential and we note the circumstances in which our Youth are finding themselves in today.”
Our promise to stop corruption, create jobs and delivering better services includes our youth.”
“DA KouKamma is providing this platform for young people to take part in and benefit from organisations such as NYDA, Love Life, ACTIVATE! Leadership and Public Innovation that can lead to their empowerment, emancipation and education” says DA Mayoral Candidate Yolande Le Roux.
