The youth cannot sit in isolated corners, but must be part of the political mainstream.  The future of the youth in South Africa lies in co-operation and not in isolationist politics.  It is with this feeling of excitement that the NP Youth challenges young people in South Africa to settle themselves once and for all in their country of birth, to qualify themselves here, and to contribute to the development of the country.

Jobs should not be reserved according to race, but the youth of all backgrounds should be equipped with necessary and scarce skills.  The NP Youth participates in youth development initiatives with the executive of government, and insures that NP Youth supporters have a say and representation in these fora.  Within structures such as the National Youth Commission and the South African Youth Council policy issues are discussed that could have a direct impact on the lives of young people.  It is therefore important that the youth chooses a political vehicle that would give them influence when government considers youth development, national youth service, economic empowerment for youth, policy with regard to HIV/AIDS, youth in conflict with the law, and many other issues.

What South Africa needs today, more than ever, is a new generation of young people who are proud of what they are and where they come from, and who are positive about the future they are heading for.  It is this new generation of young people who has a role to play by working constructively for solutions of the existing province.

It is to these positive young people who sees themselves as builders of a better South African society, that the NP youth offers a home.  The NP will announce plans in due course for launching the NP Youth Brigade.
