Youth connection program connects young people from all South African provinces to come share their testimonies as well as the devotion they have for God. The camp is a three-day program and it happens from Friday till Sunday.

Every attendee is provided with free food, t-shirt and entry ticket. There are activities and entertainment activities that are done during the event. The camp doesn’t focus on the Bible only but it allows young people to be free and have a good time.

Vukani Nkosi who is the founder, and a division youth leader explained the motive of the Youth connection program.

“The purpose of the youth connection is to teach young people the word of God and also show them how important it is to worship the Lord as well as connecting with God spiritually,” he explained.

 Motivational speakers are given a chance to come motivate the youth. They teach them different things and allow them to raise their issues and things that affect their daily lives.

Thabang Meso an attendee at the youth connection said that youth connection allows young people to interact with one another. He further explained that the very nicest thing about youth connection is that its teaches young people the word of God and the minute they start to know God and know who he is, it becomes easier for them to face their challenges.

In my opinionativeness women should have the freedom of doing what
