NATIONAL NEWS - Thuthukile Zuma is among the seven candidates which Parliament will recommend to President Cyril Ramaphosa to appoint to the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) board.
After a sub-committee comprising of members of the select committee on health and social services and the portfolio committee on women, youth and persons with disabilities worked late into the night – these two committees both adopted the reports recommending the candidates on Wednesday.
The DA objected to the candidates, except for political analyst Mnguni.
“We are of the view that the majority of the candidates are politically compromised and have been installed by the ANC members of the committee in yet another classic case of ANC cadre deployment,” reads a statement from DA MP and the party’s youth leader, Luyolo Mphithi.
