    "content": "First of all, I support it because it is one of the affirmative action we are taking to ensure that the youth get empowerment. We know some of us are here courtesy of the youth vote. So, as I support this, I want to be alive to the fact that the youth also need to be told that they will still have to compete. 30 per cent of Government procurement is a big opportunity for them. But no one should assume that just because this opportunity is there, you just sit down there and think that things will come for you. You have to go and compete. We know the rules of business. Step up and form your company. Come up with winning business plans. The youth need to be told how to come up with business plans. That is very important because we know 75 per cent of new businesses fail within the first three years. So, there is a lot of mentorship and training involved. So, it is very important that we tell our youth: “Here is an opportunity for you. But just because we give you the opportunity you also need to step up, go there, work hard and take advantage of this opportunity.”"
