Yet another opportunity presented to the youth proved to be just a waste of time and energy. The much anticipated Orange Farm Youth Development Summit that was supposed to have been hosted on the 17th to the 19th of November at Multipurpose Centre was cancelled at the eleventh hour. To make matters worse; the summit was unceremonially cancelled through a social network site.
An official who spoke on condition of anonymity said “It’s not surprising that the summit failed, all was well planned that’s until certain individuals were elected and given tasks which they couldn’t complete. For starters the venue was not finalized.
Among issues which were going to be tackled at the summit includes unemployment, crime, drugs, HIV/AIDS, internships, entrepreneurships, social and human development opportunities available to the youth of Orange Farm.
Parliamentary Committee Officer Patrick Mnyengeza said “The summit didn’t take place as preparations were not satisfactory and we had people showing dishonesty when it comes to finance. We therefore decided to postpone it to either February or March next year”
