Cape Town - Eight thousand young people have been recruited to the National Rural Youth Service Corps, said President
Jacob Zuma on Friday as he launched the programme in Dysselsdorp in the Western Cape.
"This occasion bears testimony to the fact that government is steadfast on its drive to eradicate poverty, fight crime and other social ills affecting youth in rural areas," Zuma said.
He said the programme was launched in Dysselsdorp, near Oudtshoorn, because of the municipality's high rate of unemployment and the government's commitment to drawing the rural youth into the economic mainstream through skills training.
The programme is aimed at creating work opportunities for at least 10 000 youths from poor rural areas.
