Nice piece of news,though,thanks!
It is indeed great news, the only issue now is to make sure that the Government can be accountable to actually give youth entrepreneurs tenders and not just to excite them with the news. They also need to have a way to measure at the end of financial year, how many youth entrepreneurs benefited from this affirmative action that is being undertaken.
