President Cyril Ramaphosa has applauded the youth who raised concern about the suspension of their traffic officer learnership in Mpumalanga without going on a rampage damaging property.
Besani Nkuna, a spokesperson for 125 youths, expressed anger that the learnership was suspended amid allegations of maladministration.She said she had depended on the stipend from the learnership to support herself and her disabled child.“Even when I try to register for the R350 grant, they say I am a government employee but the government withdraws us without understanding. We want to be reinstated. We want education,” she said.
Ramaphosa noted that Nkuna indicated that they wanted to be reinstated in the programme in order to be trained and do work. “This is a matter I would discuss with the acting provincial chairperson of the ANC. I am with the premier. This matter, we will discuss it and examine it,” he added.
