President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Thursday the fact that millions of young people were 'not in employment, education or training' was 'the greatest challenge facing our country today'.

“Our school feeding schemes have ensured that no child is hungry at school. Today, our country produces four times the number of African graduates than we did in 1994. Johannesburg mayor Mpho Phalatse places a wreath at the Hector Person memorial site in Soweto on June 16 2022. Politicians from various political parties joined youth at the memorial on Thursday.“These achievements should not overshadow the deep-seated challenges faced by young people.

“Members of the public are now able to track detailed progress with implementation and receive up-to-date information about the intervention.” DA leader John Steenhuisen greets Michael Vilankulu, whose brother Japie Vilankulu passed away during the riots that preceded the June 16 uprising in Alexandra, at the Old Alexandra Cemetery in Johannesburg.Ramaphosa announced new measures the government was taking to “remove the barriers that young people confront when trying to enter the public service”.

“This programme will focus on improving and modernising the recruitment and retention of youth in the public service.”“For example, the national skills fund is pioneering the pay-for-performance skills development model that will create 8,000 job opportunities for young people in digital skills.
