THE one-year-old National Youth Development Agency says it has created more than 38000 jobs.
NYDA chief executive Steven Ngubeni told Parliament's portfolio committee on Women, Children and People with Disabilities yesterday that by 2013, the NYDA would have handed out R40million in loans to young entrepreneurs.
