Youth urged to participate in environment matters

"It is the mandate of the youth to be involved in sustainable development of their communities, lend an advocacy role on issues that affect their communities as this will assist in facilitating policies and legislation that promotes sustainability," said Ntsidzi Dube, interim chairperson of the organization at its launch in Kumakwane last Friday.

Dube said it is vital for the youth to be involved at all levels, from activism at grass roots level, participation in environmental conservation projects, to policy making.
