Makhura urged parents not to speak to much but rather listen to their children during youth month.
“Parents talk a lot. We talk a lot to our children and we talk them down. There is a lot that is good about that, so that they walk a straight line.”
Makhura also acknowledged the pressures facing today’s youth, saying it sometimes leads to suicide, and therefore older people cannot afford not to listen.
He said the government is working an a provincial plan to improve the lives of Gauteng residents and that young people have an important role to play.
