South African Youth Parliament for Water
Last week, the South Africa Youth Parliament for Water (RSAYPW) took part in the Department of Water and Sanitation Youth Indaba, hosted by Lepelle Northern Water,from 22-25 July in Polokwane, Limpopo - under the theme "๐๐ก๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐จ๐๐ข๐จ-๐๐๐จ๐ง๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ ๐ ๐๐ข๐ง๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐๐ฆ๐จ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฒ". Such dialogues are important to bridge the gap between the learners, youth, graduates, senior members of the water and sanitation sector and decision-makers.
On day 1 we took part in a panel session titled '๐๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ช๐ข๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐ถ๐ฆ - ๐ ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต๐ฉ ๐๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ท๐ฆ๐ญ๐บ ๐๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ณ๐ข๐ค๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ค๐ช๐ฐ-๐๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ช๐ค ๐จ๐ข๐ช๐ฏ๐ด ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ค๐ณ๐ข๐ค๐บ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฆ๐ค๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ'.

In attendance at the Indaba were some familiar faces, other RSAYPW members, who were representing other organisations and institutions. We are extremely proud and we hope you keep the movement going! A special congratulations to Ms Mmakgomo Ria Malatji, who was an integral member of the planning committee from Lepelle Northern Water ๐ง๐ง
