Human Settlements commemorates Youth Month through building of 16 houses by youth, 27 Jun

Minister of Human Settlements Thembi Simelane and Gauteng MEC for Human Settlements Tasneem Motara will participate in the construction of 16 houses currently being built by youth at the Western Mega project in Rand West tomorrow, 27 June 2025, to commemorate Youth Month.

This is part of the National Department of Human Settlements’ annual Youth Build to celebrate the youth of 1976 who became global symbols of resistance and courage.

The programme also aligns fully with the 2025 National Youth Month theme: “Skills for the changing world – empowering youth for meaningful economic participation.”

The participating youth who will be working with the Minister and MEC are also introduced to the construction sector through training, thus gaining critical technical skills and practical experience.
