Mahlengi Bengu is chairperson of the National Youth Commission which has been set up to address the needs and aspirations of youth in South Africa. // We think that demilitarization as a principle must be accepted by South African society, believe that in fact young people in this country and in general what you call children of wars have been highly militarized precisely because of where this country comes from. The key challenge that faces this country is to create programmes that will ensure that when you talk about demilitarization you don’t do so in obstruction. You talk about demilitarization and say what kind of skills, what do these people need and therefore how best to reintegrate them into mainstream or into normal society if I may use the term.
