Cape Town’s Junior City Council Mayor, Thandokazi Sineke, will be interviewed live on SABC 2 between 16:00 and 17:00 this afternoon, Tuesday, 12 June 2012. The interview will be about the Youth in Action Expo which takes place from 15 to 16 June at the Artscape Garden, and is an initiative of the Executive Mayor, Alderman Patricia De Lille.
The Junior City Council (JCC) was established to inspire Cape Town’s young citizens to engage in civic matters and their communities by understanding the functions of local government. It provides a lobby for the youth and is a way of building their skills for effective engagement with the City.
The JCC encourages leadership and positive peer influence. It is the ideal platform for young citizens who are interested in a career in public service. Their activities and functions are aligned with projects funded by the City and its partners, and it falls under the nurturing patronage of Speaker of City of Cape Town, Alderman Dirk Smit.
For any further information regarding the JCC contact Charmaine Van Reenen on 021 400 1480 or email: charmaine.vanreenen@capetown.gov.za.
