The youth leaders made a number of proposals to address the scourge of unemployment among young people.

Statistics South Africa announced on Tuesday that the country’s unemployment rate rose to 27.6% of the labour force in the first quarter of 2019.

One of those proposals is the scrapping of the entry-level job experience requirement, which the government is already implementing, Nzuza said.The second proposal “is the issue of beneficiation”, Nzuza said, explaining that the country should move from exporting processed natural resources to instead export more finished products. This, he said, would lead to more manufacturing plants being opened in the country and subsequently to job creation.

These laws would also protect documented foreign nationals employed in South Africa because it would ensure they are paid wages that are in accordance with legislation, he added. DA national youth leader Luyolo Mphithi said the statistics show that “unemployment is killing us as young people”, in particular, those in the rural areas who cannot access and participate in the economy, adding that the figures are “disturbing” and “tiring”.The DA has proposed a yearlong programme that would focus on upskilling the country’s matriculants or secondary school leavers.
