Episode Details

South Africa’s youth unemployment has hit a staggering 47.4%, with five million young people jobless — up 264,000 from the last quarter. The national unemployment rate also climbed to 33.6%, as more people seek work but fewer land jobs, with employment numbers dipping slightly. Young graduates face an economy that barely offers entry-level opportunities, trapping generations in a cycle of education without work. Many are underemployed or disconnected, revealing a deeper crisis than just idle hands. Trade unions are demanding urgent action, calling for unity among workers and organizations to mobilize against this unacceptable reality.
