Bongo youth of Tonj South County in Warrap State elected their new leaders on Saturday.
Albino Mayenje Bui is new head of the Bongo youth in Tonj South County, Radio Don Bosco reported.Mr Mayenje said the Bongo people needed someone to direct the youth on the right way for the good of the community.
The elders of the Bongo community, who attended the meeting, said the youth was without a leader and they met and called the election.
They added that here is no family without the youth and there is no youth without families.
One youth member, Debora Arual, said the purpose of electing a leader was to help and direct the youth in getting to know each other and to prevent discrimination.
Michael Dangaru, another youth, said many youths did not know each other because there was no place for them to meet.
He added that 2013 should be the year of hard work for the youth in order to live in peace and cooperation.
Mr Dangaru urged the youths to live in unity, love, peace and cooperation with other young people of Tonj South to work together for the development of the country.
