On Tuesday, 8 April 2014, Premier Helen Zille and Western Cape Minister of Social Development, Albert Fritz will officially launch the Western Cape Youth Development Strategy, which was approved by the provincial cabinet in 2013.
The strategy outlines the whole-of-society approach of the Western Cape Government to provide key development opportunities for young people in the province to enable them to create lives they can value, and to become productive and responsible citizens.
The launch will take place at the Rocklands Youth Café, officially opened by Minister Fritz in January this year, which represents one type of such a tangible development opportunity to help young people to improve their lives. Premier Zille will also be led on a tour of the facility and its amenities as it will be her first visit to the Youth Café.
