Outcry over youth participation in cooperatives

Answering a question from a youth who wanted to know why their participation in the affairs of cooperatives is very low, the chairperson of FMPSL, Smarts Shabani, explained that one of the reasons for the status quo is that the youth want quick returns.

“The question that you have asked has and is still concerning us very much. We want young people to join cooperatives in large numbers in order to inject fresh impetus into the cooperatives. However, the youth must also not expect everything on a silver platter.
