South Africa cannot discuss illegal employment, economic reform, and social stability without confronting the uncomfortable truth at the centre of it all: millions of young South Africans still have no credible pathway into work. This, according to Thembi Chagonda, Joint CEO of Global Business Solutions and a commissioner on the Employment Equity Commission representing business. She further adds that every June, South Africa honours the courage and contribution of young people. But for a young person sitting at home without work, training, income, or a realistic next step, commemoration is not enough. The Human Sciences Research Council also hosted a youth dialogue this week to examine past and present struggles.
