Background:
In its quest to address the challenge of youth unemployment,
access to education and shortage of scarce skills, the National
Youth Development Agency (NYDA) is offering the scholarship to
youth under 35 years of age to give them an opportunity to
study at public universities or university of technologies
across South Africa.
To support this new strategic focus, the NYDA
established the Solomon Mahlangu Scholarship Fund
(SMSF). The Fund seeks to avail financial support to
youth to enable them to pursue quality education in an
institution of higher learning with youth in rural areas as
primary target.
The scholarship fund was established in honour of Solomon
Kalushi Mahlangu who at the age of 23, was executed under the
apartheid laws after being wrongfully accused of murder and
terrorism. Fearing crowd reaction at the funeral, police
decided to bury Mahlangu in Atteridgeville,
Pretoria.
The scholarship fund is designed to create an environment for
affording youth with excellent academic background, an
opportunity to further their studies. Financial support will be
provided to youth who pursue full-time degrees that fall within
the priority growth sectors, critical and scarce skills areas
outlined in the labor planning frameworks of the
country.
The fund will be accessible to deserving South African youth
who meet the minimum entry requirements set by the
NYDA and, who have been admitted for study at public
Universities and Universities of Technology.
