DA Youth congratulates Yusuf Cassim

20 May 2014

The DA Youth congratulates its Chairperson, Yusuf Cassim, on being the youngest Member of Parliament ever to be sworn in as part of the national assembly. Cassim will be 24 years, 4 months and 16 days old tomorrow, making him the youngest MP in South African history. 

Cassim formed part of the DA's Young Leaders class of 2011. He became the SRC President at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in 2012, and the DA Youth Federal Chairperson in 2013.

The Democratic Alliance is a party that values its young leaders and creates a platform from which they are able to grow and develop to take our country forward. Cassim, amongst many other newly elected young DA MP's is the personification of the Democratic Alliance and what we stand for as a party. 

The Democratic Alliance is the only party truly representing the youth. We are the only party that will make the voices of young people heard in parliament for the next 5 years.
