The City of Cape Town’s Sport, Recreation and Amenities Department is partnering with various stakeholders to host Youth Day commemorations within its districts on from Thursday 15 June to Saturday 16 June 2012.

A number of programmes targeted at the youth have been planned at the Department’s community facilities under the following themes: arts and culture; recreation; street football; netball; indigenous games; and board games.

“June 16th is celebrated annually to honour the youth – those of the past as well as those who will build the future. As part of our commitment to being a Caring City, we have chosen to mark this day by ensuring the availability of a range of activities for Cape Town’s youth,” said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services, Councillor Tandeka Gqada.
