President Cyril Ramaphosa will deliver the keynote address at the National Youth Day event to be held in Polokwane, Limpopo on Sunday.
The month of June has been declared Youth Month and it is a period set aside to pay tribute to the youth of 1976 for their activism.
Ramaphosa's spokesperson, Khusela Diko says it is also a time to reflect on the progress made and to address the challenges identified in order to drive the youth development agenda in South Africa.
This year's Youth Month coincides with the commemoration of 25 years of Freedom and Democracy and it takes place under the theme "25 Years of Democracy: A Celebration of Youth Activism".
Diko says the theme seeks to encourage young people to join the ranks of active and responsible citizens by participating in democratic processes.
