Former president Jacob Zuma chats to his daughter Thuthukile Zuma at an ANCYL gathering in Sophiatown in 2019.Former president Jacob Zuma's daughter Thuthukile has made the cut to serve on the board of the National Youth Development Agency.Thuthukile is one of seven young people whose names were decided in the early hours of Wednesday morning, and which await approval by a sitting of the National Assembly before they are referred to President Cyril Ramaphosa for appointment.
She will be joined by Karabo Mohale, Paballo Ponoane, Molaoli Sekake, Lukhona Afrika Mnguni, Avela Mjajubana and John Sifiso Mtsweni, who chaired the previous board until its term lapsed this year. Mtsweni was first appointed to the NYDA board in May 2017 and was made its executive chairperson by then president, Jacob Zuma. Under his leadership, the previously scandal-prone organisation obtained three clean audits from the auditor-general. It remains to be seen whether he will retain the chairmanship of the board.
He works as a community outreach officer in public service & administration minister Senzo Mchunu's office. Karabo Mohale, Paballo Ponoane and Young Communist League's Molaoli Sekake are all former student leaders at their respective institutions.With a total budget of R545m — of which 37% is spent on salaries — and the power to dispense project money, the NYDA is a highly contested agency. It has previously been a terrain of battle between the ANC Youth League and the Young Communist League, and between factions of these youth formations.
