Youth Day was celebrated at Phagameng High School in Modimolle and the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) welcomed learners, educators and parents to the Career Expo.

The keynote address was delivered by Chief Operating Officer Dr Makhapa Makhafola, who shared an overview of SAQA and the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). Dr Makhafola said that it was a privilege to join the learners on this important occasion as the 50th anniversary of Youth Day was commemorated. “We reflect on the sacrifices made by the young people of 1976,” he said.

Dr Makhafola added that the courage, determination and willingness that the learners in 1976 showed to stand up for what they believed in changed the course of our country’s history. “We gather not only to honour their memory but also to reaffirm our collective responsibility to ensure that education remains a powerful tool for empowerment, opportunity and social transformation, he said.”

Dr Makhafola concluded by saying that: “As you visit the exhibition stalls today, make informed choices grounded in credible information and trusted institutions. Together, we can build a society in which every young person is empowered to realise their full potential.”
