It is a common misconception that only students protest against the government. They are doing it since years, and now we have a ward councillor speaking about it. Youth Project in Diepsloot has been mobilizing youth to join with them in fighting for their rights. Youth wards have been organized across South Africa, and DYP was started in this ward too.

Youth’s voice matters. Youth is the future of our country and their ideas and thoughts should be heard. This is why the Diepsloot Youth Project has decided to hold protests and rallies in various wards to raise awareness about various issues facing the youth today.

On Saturday, June 10th, they held a peaceful protest at Diepsloot police station to show solidarity with those who are protesting against the new CCTVs being installed in public places. The councillor from ward 12 also attended this rally and spoke on the importance of youth involvement in governing bodies.

When a ward councillor speaks, you pay attention. After all, he or she is the elected representative who has been assigned to look after your ward and its interests. But, when Diepsloot Youth Project’s (DYP) ward councillor talks, there’s more to it than the words themselves suggest. We live in an era where the word ‘youth’ is synonymous with ‘enthusiasm’, ‘entitlement’, and ‘lack of experience’. However, that’s not the case in DYP.

DYP’s youth councillors are seasoned leaders and stakeholders of the community who have put in their best efforts to make life better for residents. They speak on behalf of their wards at various public occasions such as rallies and meetings to help improve living conditions in our area. Their contributions are indeed invaluable!

The Youth Project is not new in the city of Johannesburg. These projects have been taking place in some of the wards for years now and have helped many turn their lives around. But one such project that was spreading its wings in Diepsloot, was gaining attention from all quarters. The Youth Project aimed at providing a holistic development to children and young people by improving their quality of life as well as equipping them with skills and tools.

Diepsloot Youth Project is affiliated to South Africa’s largest youth movement, YES, which brings together young people from all walks of life to drive positive change, empowering each other for a better world. In Diepsloot ward, there are over 100 volunteers working tirelessly towards this goal every day. From changing tires on buses to painting walls, the projects undertaken by volunteers represent diversity and goals but they all share one common thread – they bring out the best in young people through their work.

This is what makes Diepsloot Youth Project an inspiration for us all!

There are protests in your ward? What the hell is going on? People who live in Diepsloot ward know that this area is one of the neglected ones of Johannesburg. In fact, most people don’t even consider it to be a part of Johannesburg. It’s true that its population is less than 2% compared to the rest of Johannesburg. The decline in housing, crime and unemployment in Diepsloot ward have been alarming for residents. A senior councillor from the area recently spoke about the matter and said that there has always been an issue with these areas because they are neglected by government agencies.
