PFA slams government’s stance on Human Rights: ‘Government lock millions of youth in unending cycle of poverty!’

The Patriotic Front of Azania (PFA) has hit out at government for turning their back on marginalized societies, while it claims to take care of the needs of ordinary citizens.

PFA’s leader Johnny Maseko says that commemorating Human Rights month is meaningless, while majority of young South African are jobless, while others are without decent jobs.

“Human Rights cannot have meaning, when government policies lock millions of young citizens in an unending cycle of poverty,” said Maseko.

South African youth still find it difficult to secure jobs in South Africa, as the youth unemployment rate currently sits on 66.5%.

In a released a media statement, the emerging political party slammed the ruling party (Africa National Congress) stating that it has failed SA’s youth.

The party outlined that South Africa’s bill of rights has 27 basic human rights, but most of these rights falls under empty promises made by the leading party.

“The real victims of these unfortunate and unforgivable mess, political blunderings and policy delirium are children who are born into poverty from whose clutches their parents have been unable to escape from for the past 28 years,” said the party in a statement.

“Children become bonded, blended in low esteem and poverty hangs like an albatross around their necks,” added the party.

PFA further blamed the ANC for allowing lower pass mark in basic education, “This limits chances of these learners from getting admission at universities and colleges, due to their low APS score,” said the party.

“It is not as if government is completely unable to change the course of events in this messed up situation that also affect the nation and country’s economic fortunes.

World Food Program(WFP), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizations (UNESCO), United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund(UNICEF) provide clear guidelines on the impacts of poverty hygiene on learners,” added the party.

The party further said that the ANC has established school feeding schemes that do not necessarily fit the requirements as set out by the international organisations.

“This scenario denies Africans the right to education, and the right to earn an honest income using education thus leaving them within two unfortunate pathways, a straight-jacket to jail via crime and a lockup in a cycle of poverty and hopelessness,” concluded the party.
