Green monkey on youth ministry�s back :: Mmegi Online

It is expected that the Ministry of Youth, Sport and Culture (MYSC) will receive more public complaints than others, when it comes to issues of procurement, equity and fairness. Unlike ministries such as finance, agriculture and mining, the intended beneficiaries of the MYSC are less structured, less sophisticated and more emotional.

For lack of a better word, the group could be best described as naive. Farmers are organised into groups and associations that engage their parent ministry and the universe of different financial sector participants are equally well structured. Between them and their parent ministry is a galaxy of state agencies.

MYSC stakeholders, on the other hand, tend to be untethered individuals, often only presenting with their God-given talents and precious little else. And, they are predominantly younger or more youthful than the intended beneficiaries of other ministries.
