Ga Mma Masire sold to a Dutch organisation :: Mmegi Online

The famous National Youth Centre in Gaborone West, popularly known as Ga Mma Masire has been sold to a Netherlands-based youth organisation. It is still not clear how much was paid for the place. The sale has left throngs of local young people who previously accessed services from the centre in the lurch, sources say.

The Botswana National Youth Council (BNYC) ran the centre, and more than 15 youth organisations affiliated to the Council were housed at the centre.

Subsequent to Cabinet’s decision to dissolve the BNYC in 2015, the centre was closed. Organisations such as Youth Health Organisation, Youth Action Society, BW JOBS4GRADUATES, Captive Eye and many more offering solutions to challenges and social ills facing the youth have nowhere to go following the decision to sell the centre to the Netherlands-based organisation, Young Africa.
