Concerned Youths Delay Masisi Petition

The disgruntled group intended to deliver the petition last Saturday. The Concerned Youths leader, Keletso Victoria Tselayakgosi said they expect to deliver the petition at a later date. “We are waiting for the response from the Office of the President on a date that will be suitable to them for us to hand in the petition. Again, we want to know the person who will receive the petition on behalf of the President, if he is not there.

Our concern is that the President is no longer consulting the nation as he has promised during the 2019 General Election and the issue of unemployment amongst youth is also not addressed,” she said. She said their aim is to do things properly and follow the procedure in handing over the petition. Tselayakgosi distanced her group from reports there are elements who want to burn down the State House in protest. She denied that some political parties might be behind the motive of petitioning the President.
