GUTEN, SOUTH AFRICA; A proposal tabled by the Secretary-General of the CCM Youth Wing (UVCCM), Jokate Mwegelo, to establish a major youth festival for liberation movement parties in the region has been successfully responded to.

Ms Mwegelo proposed on behalf of the Tanzanian youth and other Southern African nations.

The proposed festival aims to bring together youth from Tanzania, South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Angola, and Namibia to engage in dialogue on development issues, share experiences, and explore economic opportunities among young people from countries with a shared history of liberation struggles.
