Hostage drama at Umsobomvu Youth Fund

According to the Sowetan, a group of 40 young people had to be forcibly removed from the Umsobomvu Youth Fund (UYF). offices in Midrand. The youngsters allegedly staged a sit in after the UYF refused to commit funds to their project. About 40 young people from the Okwethu Ngathi Corporation (ON Corp), who were demanding millions of rands for their project, refused to leave the Umsobomvu premises, saying they would only do so once a commitment was made that money would be dispersed.
