Nkombwa Member of Parliament in Isoka District, Jairo Simbeye, has reaffirmed his commitment to supporting youth development through talent identification and nurturing across the constituency.
Speaking at Kampumbu Primary School grounds in Isoka, where the identification of sporting groups from all eight wards of Nkombwa Constituency was conducted, Mr Simbeye said the initiative is intended to give young people an opportunity to showcase their abilities and develop their sporting potential.
He said the programme is part of his commitment to implementing the United Party for National Development (UPND) government’s developmental agenda of leaving no one behind.
“We want to ensure that young people in all eight awards are given an opportunity to showcase their talents because development must reach everyone, regardless of where they come from,” he said.
Mr Simbeye said sports could open up opportunities for young people while encouraging them to use their abilities productively.
Meanwhile, Chairperson of Friends of HH in Isoka District, Felix Siyafunko commended the MP for the initiative, saying sports could help steer young people away from activities that hinder their development.
Mr Siyafunko said young people need a platform where they could identify their strengths and use their time constructively.
“Some young people engage in activities that do not contribute to their future, but through sports, they can discover their talents, develop discipline and work towards achieving their goals,” he said.
He said the initiative was in line with President Hichilema’s development agenda of leaving no one behind, adding that investing in young people was important for community development.
And organising committee Chairperson Steven Sinkutwa said the participation of groups from all eight wards would help broaden the search for sporting talent within the constituency.
Mr Sinkutwa said the programme was designed to identify gifted young people and provide them with a platform to demonstrate their abilities.
“By bringing together groups from all eight wards, we are creating an opportunity to identify talent from across the constituency and give young people a chance to develop their sporting abilities,” he said.
He said the initiative would help expose young people with sporting potential and encourage greater participation in sports at community level.
