DA Youth committed to find lasting solutions to youth unemployment
9 September 2019
Yesterday, the Democratic Alliance Youth Management Committee spearheaded by DA Youth Federal Leader, Luyolo Mphithi, visited the North West to discuss the challenges that the youth in the North West and South Africa face.
Young people face many challenges which include high youth unemployment, a poor education system, drug abuse, crime and limited access to higher learning education.
According to Statistics SA, youth unemployment in South Africa sits at a staggering 55.2%, and in the North West alone youth unemployment is at 40.3%.
The North West has the highest number of youths in South Africa who are not in employment, education or engaging in training programmes.
