Guest : Kristal Duncan-Williams - Project Lead for Youth Capital

We all know that the COVID-19 pandemic has hit our economy hard,
especially during lockdown. While more people have been allowed to go to work under
level three of lockdown, there are still many people, like hairdressers, who are
struggling.
The country's economy is something that President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed today
while commemorating Youth Day. During a virtual dialogue with young people as part
of the Youth Day commemorations, President Ramaphosa encouraged young people to
find new and creative ways to reset the country’s economy. And this is vital, as youth
unemployment is a big problem in South Africa, and has been even before the
pandemic.
