We should never view young people as lazy, because that is an incorrect diagnosis of the issues faced by South Africa’s youth. Young people want access opportunities to learn, work and build better futures. That is why we launched the Ithuba Youth Development Programme, with a target of placing... show more

@ActionSATshwane South Africa deserves leaders like you, South African Youth have been marginalised, it’s enough, many corrupt leaders implemented policies that promoted youth as being lazy. Whilst they not & never was, today’s youth, they resilient, they smart and are going to make a change soon

Young people have never been lazy. What happens is they get tired of the system that’s rigged against them as they get older then eventually end up settling for crumbs to make ends meet. By that time, that youthful energy has been depleted and they focus less on their dreams.

Mayor, as South African Motorbike Delivery Association, we have reaching out to your office, in relation to the motorbike delivery industry within the city. We are not getting any response to our emails

Mayor, you cant do it allow, allow us South Africans to assist where we can @MduduziMats I believe bhuti ungenza umehluko omkhulu kabi🙏🏾🙌🏾

Mayor help me with water leaks city of Tshwane is failing to help resolve the problem they just ignored my reference 6001480862 its been 8 to 9 years of reporting the same issue 😢 my car is left outside because I can't get in my yard as it is sinking

@Kaya_Ntwana The only real mayor in South Africa

Mayor how we assist, we have training Facilities, and resources that can develop the #NEET in Services, Wholesale and Retail, Transport and Logistics and Education

The question is how do you inculcate a work culture among the youth? Opportunities exist but most of the time there are no takers who are willing to work.

Vele you don't want to address the issue of water in Ekangala? We are approaching 4th week without water.

Hi U announced the installation of Wi-Fi at libraries in March 2026 and one of the libraries is Akasia Library and to date..There is no WIFI there for young people to use...any update on that?

Bronkhorstspruit has been without water for almost 4weeks and we are close to election cant you see thats sabotage what are you doing about it?

There are lazy young people, lazy not so young people, lazy older people. There are also very hard working ones at all ages.

The owner of the Flat has paid the minimum debt which was required for us to have electricity. Electricity was supposed to be restored yesterday and nothing has changed. We have been living in darkness for over a month and nobody is checking for us. Electricity was cut off early in the morning but the restoration is non existent 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️

@HermanMashaba Young people all have similar issues. 1. Our schooling system fails to equip SA students for the real world eg driving licenses, real work experience. 2. Very little educated adult role models. 3. No hope and no volition. #techocraticgovernance

Hi Dr please kindly help us in 📍 Garankuwa we are faced with such a mess specially in Mmakau or u can call it Ramogodu 🙏

That's the way to go...thank you madam Mayor🙏🏽💚💚💚🥳

Wow so impressive please vote ANC

Please consider adding a mentorship component to your youth and SME programs Madame Mayor @nasiphim -

We just need to reskill the youth Mayor.We need to channel the youth into technical skills.The biggest challenge is those that dont have matric for one reason or the other we need to find a way to absorb them and give them technical skills that the economy needs.

Youth are lazy to vote, they have lowest voter turn out 18-30, they enjoy poverty and unemployment cause they are comfortable with the ANC government

I've heard Black South Africans Nasiphi saying other Black South Africans are lazy sis wam...

The only mayor there is in South Africa.

I'm confused. I thought the narrative was that it wasn't a skills issue, but that foreigners were taking jobs skilled South Africans could do. Why isn't the programme just placing qualified people into work opportunities? Especially those that have been unemployed the longest.

Something desperately needed Dokotela.. please paint the roads in the capital... Please Sisi.

Thank you Mayor for creating opportunities for a Black Child.
