- Youth unemployment remains one of the most pressing challenges in South Africa, particularly among young people aged 18 to 29.
It continues to shape broader questions about skills, education, and economic opportunity.
The debate centres on whether students are choosing courses that do not align with labour market needs, or whether the economy itself is failing to create enough jobs, regardless of qualifications.
We are joined by Former Statistician-General, Dr Pali Lehohla and Founder of People with Purpose, Nontuthuko Mhlungu.
