The
Student Governance and Leadership Development Directorate (SGLD), collaborating
with Tshwane FM and BUA student newspaper, organized a political debate among
student political organizations on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, at Tshwane
University of Technology (TUT) Pretoria campus. The objective of the debate was
to provide a platform for political structures to discuss youth-related issues
and propose solutions.

Student political structures recognized by TUT came in numbers to participate in the debate where various topics that affect youth such as student funding; youth unemployment and crime and corruption were raised and addressed.
The
session became an opportunity for structures to prove their worth of people's
votes in the upcoming elections. “This platform is also for structures to prove
their worth for the upcoming elections,” said HOD of SGLD, Andrew
Makhushe.
