Premier Lesufi’s Tshepo 1 Million programme fails unskilled and unemployed youth
27 September 2023
Millions of unemployed and unskilled Gauteng residents continue to suffer with no jobs and no skills as the now defunct and money pit Tshepo 1 Million failed to deliver on its promise.
This programme, launched in 2014 as Tshepo 500 000 for skills training, job placement, and entrepreneurship development and further developed as Tshepo 1Million in 2017, has failed the people of Gauteng.
According to the 2022/23 annual report for the Office of the Premier, the Tshepo 1 Million programme has not met the Technical Indicator Descriptor (TID) requirements and failed to meet the consistency test.
This is concerning, as the annual report would have indicated the achievements of this programme and progress that has been made in terms of creating employment opportunities in the province.
