Department of Health and Social Services call in Mpumalanga call on Youth in the province to in large number apply for Masupa- Tsela Youth Pioneer Programme

30 July 2008

The National Department of Social Development has initiated a youth development programme called Masupa-Tsela aimed at training and skilling unemployed and out of school youth in the country between the ages of 18-35 years. The programme will run for a year over a three year period.

Mpumalanga has been allocated to recruit 347 of the 1114 youth to be recruited nationally. We therefore call upon the youth in the province those with these minimum requirements; matric certificate (even if it is badly passed); unemployed graduates, South African Citizen with ID and residing in Mpumalanga.

Applicants are requested to submit their CVs with at least two traceable references, a one pager motivation letter should accompany the application and previous community work will be added advantage. Preference will be given to youth from rural and disadvantaged communities.

“This programme is part of the sustained effort by our government, to push back the frontiers of poverty by exposing our youth in particular to programmes aimed at not only their self-development but also their families and communities. It is a clear and unequivocal demonstration of our commitment of building a human and caring society takes looks after its youth, who are undoubtedly the treasure of any prosperous nation”, said MEC Fish Mahlalela.

Any interested youth can call our toll free number to check where they can drop their applications: 0800 20 40 98

Closing date is 04 August 2008.

We also call on community leaders, ward councilors, religious leaders and CDWs to assist youth to apply.
