As South Africa commemorates Youth Day and marks 50 years since the historic events of 1976, SACPLAN honors the incredible bravery of the generation that shaped our democracy.

Today, as we commemorate Youth Day under the theme "RESET@50 – The Future Calls," the future is calling a new generation of leaders, our Young Planners, whose voices and innovations are the blueprints of tomorrow.

Let us honour the legacy of 1976 by building an inclusive South Africa, one plan and one community at a time.

Over the past two days, the Council, together with the Department of Land Reform and Rural Development, convened a Strategic Planning Session dedicated to deliberating on the strategic direction of Council and enhancing service delivery to planners.

To ensure the success of the session in producing tangible outcomes, the session was split into commissions aligned to SACPLAN's committees. Each commission was assigned key focus areas and pressing issues to deliberate on, with all outcomes informing the strategic direction of the Council.

Central to the conclusion of the session was a firm focus on ensuring the implementation of deliberated outcomes, reaffirming the Council's mandate and remaining responsive to the key issues affecting the planning profession.
