The Free State Legislature held a plenary sitting to consider committee reports, Executive Council statements, questions, and matters concerning youth.
The Free State Legislature held a plenary sitting today, where Members considered committee reports, statements by Members of the Executive Council, questions, and matters concerning youth before the House.
As part of the programme, the Legislature also hosted the Speaker’s Debate in commemoration of Youth Month. During the debate, Members reflected on the significance of Youth Day, honouring the courage of the youth of 1976 while encouraging today’s young people to play an active role in building a better South Africa.
The sitting provided Members with an opportunity to debate key issues, strengthen oversight, and continue working towards improving the lives of the people of the Free State.
In closing, Hon. Zama Sigwebela said:
“Today, we do not only remember a date on the calendar. We reflect and honour the courage of the young people who stood up against injustices during the 1976 uprising. They marched because they refused to accept injustice. They believed their future mattered, and their bravery continues to inspire us to build a better South Africa.”
The Free State Legislature remains committed to promoting public participation, strengthening oversight, and creating platforms where issues affecting young people can be meaningfully addressed.
