President Cyril Ramaphosa will deliver an update on presidential initiatives aimed at stimulating youth employment at a local stadium in Mthatha in the Eastern Cape.

President Cyril Ramaphosa at a conference.stimulating youth employmentThe Youth Day Commemoration will be celebrated under the theme: “Promoting sustainable livelihood and resilience of young people for a better tomorrow”.

The main event will be hosted in accordance with COVID-19 regulations on outdoor gatherings at Mthatha Stadium.Meanwhile, Economics lecturer at Rhodes University, David Fryer saysin the country for over a decade and the trend is set to continue for a while. “If you go back to pre-94, there was really massive unemployment in the Eastern Cape. It trended upwards after ’94 and then sort of plateaued and then after 2008 and particularly after COVID it’s been going up. It’s kind of been an indicator of the state of the country. So unless we start to make progress on a broader front, in terms of governance policy formation implementation, it is just going to go up and up,” says Fryer.

The youth in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro have described the high unemployment rate in the province as frustrating. The metro has a staggering unemployment rate of 35.7%.“For my survival, it’s not easy. Currently, i’m still hustling looking for a job but I sell sweets and energy drinks in the meantime. I have to keep busy. I have to keep moving otherwise if I sit still I’m going to fall into depression.

Stop with the promises of creating jobs. Enable the economy and then business will create jobs. Do your job Government. You are the servant of the people not the employer. We pay you not the other way round

It’s going to be a repeat of a previous speech with something of a 4 year plan to accomplish… He is seeking votes… and if re-elected in 2023 he will forget about the youth for the following 4 year’s..

Mthatha its your time to shine, do the necessary please👊🏼🕯👏🏼😭

During the state of the nation address, on the 20th June 2019, he promised of two million jobs for youth, that has not happened, eish this man.

All song different artist. He's gonna say all that the youth needs to hear and then leave, then next year he's going to say it again from a different province

but the youth are not meeting the government halfway they are more interested in Watching likes, conspiracy dancing all type of mediocrity.

The ANC can have EC we don't need the ANC anywhere else why the EC continue to love the ANC is astonishing. Then they complain about who they should vote for. Is there no initiative to go look for a different party? Just vibes poverty and ANC in the EC
