National Youth Development Agency chairperson Sunshine Myende hasn’t been a ray of sunshine.
This week in Parliament, shocked MPs heard how the agency tasked with funding youth enterprises footed the bill for a court application Myende brought in her “personal capacity” against a Sunday Times journalist.
Besides the glaring abuse, no clear reason was given why the NYDA footed the legal bill.
This is the very same Sunshine who led a R1-million junket to New York to attend a conference.
