Civil Society and the Government of National Unity

In his February 2024 State of the Nation, President Cyril Ramaphosa painted a picture in which the country’s youth – “democracy’s children” – had enormous opportunities for advancement. Research tracing 30 years of youth marginalisation has found that youth in South Africa, who make up 34.3% of the population, have not fared well under democracy. They are the hardest hit by unemployment and the lack of opportunities and show high alienation. Fewer young people are doing as well as their counterparts from 30 years ago; most are muddling along, searching for opportunities. In this week’s view of the nation, we look at what is the real
state of young South Africans – defined as people below the age of 35 – after 30 years of democracy and how we can realise South Africa&#39;s youth potential?
