Koyana says, “They must include the youth in whatever they are doing because for a long time they have been sidelining the youth. We are also facing other challenges in the community including a lack of recreational facilities, roads are in a bad state.”
Buffalo City spokesperson, Samkelo Ngwenya has engaged Koyana saying, “Their issues are genuine. We have been here for the past two weeks and have noted some of the problems in the area. The planning might not have been perfect but both provincial and local government have managed to come together to pull off a dignified send-off under the sad circumstances.”Ngwenya acknowledges they should have done a better job of involving the neighbourhood.
Koyana says he would like to see improvements in their community and not see patch efforts that are done when dignitaries visit their community.
