Boksburg youth bear the burden of unemployment

Youth Day commemorates the Soweto youth uprising of 16 June 1976.

As the country moves to celebrate National Youth Day, the youth of Boksburg shared their thoughts on youth unemployment.

Komelo Otshudi: Youth unemployment is frustrating since it affects almost everyone because unemployed youth end up doing wrong things in the community such as stealing and being exposed to substances.

Grace Malata: The unemployment problem is devastating. I had no intention of staying at home and doing nothing. I graduated and applied for jobs, but I am still unemployed.

Roan van der Walt: Being unemployed is highly stressful I am saying this because I am a former business owner.

Sifiso Zulu: We keep voting but nothing has been done. The only way to fight this battle is to stand up for ourselves and create jobs.
