NGWANE PARK – They say an idle mind is the devils workshop, even more so among
the youth. So it’s best to keep our future leaders busy while exploring their
skills.
The Youth Enterprise Fund mandated by His Majesty King Mswati III is set to
improve the youth skills and keep them away from drugs, alcohol and sex among
other possible dangerous things.
This was said by both the Minister of Public Service, Owen Nxumalo and the
Minister of Sports, Youth and Culture, David Cruiser Ngcamphalala last 
Saturday. This was during the Amanyora Fam-MTN Swaziland event held at the
Ngwane Park High School Sportsground.
Ngcamphalala said the Youth Enterprise Fund which had not been effective for
quite some time was to benefit the youth and its board was ready to let them
benefit from it.
“It is time for the fund to be visible again, I am seeing a lot of talent
within the youth through singing and dancing, my advice to the youth is to
utilise the fund as the board is ready and willing to assist,” Ngcamphalala
said.
Amazing
Meanwhile Minister Nxumalo, who also sponsored the event as well as MTN
Swaziland, said the talent the Ngwane Park youth had was amazing and also
unique. He stated that the youth had to diversify and concentrate on their
talents especially through the same Youth Enterprise Fund to improve their
skills.
“It is a known factor that the key risk periods for drug abuse are major
during transitions in children’s lives. The first big transition for children
is when they leave the security of the family and enter school.
