PRETORIA - Analysts describe the 55.2-percent joblessness rate among the youth as a ticking time bomb.
“When you start looking at the numbers where the loss is so great even on a year-on-year basis it makes the government goal of creating these jobs look like pie in the sky,” said Econometrix economist Laura Campbell.
We’re fckn over populated 😒
And this is scary .
Very sad
Come visit us at Big Tree pallets we have been......putting all beat efforts to this figjt which is so much more published ,than taken care of We are youth Entrepeneurs with atleast over 500 feasible jobs awaiting!!!!Lets work Together for our futures
And what's the active 'Seniors' unemployment rate standing at now?
AdvBMkhwebane if the Northwest Public Works can implement your remedial action we will be able to hire more people so that we can help our country to reduce these numbers .Gid bless you PublicProtector AdvBMkhwebane
Not too sure why illegal immigrants are counted in our unemployment statistics
mmolaigaone but in that 55.2% we also including ana phara lawa gcwele everywhere
😭😭😭 I'm hurting
Psicosis1992 The government sets the tone for business environment. South Africans have been voting for one that makes a mockery of that environment for a long time now. The two are linked. Compotent administrators needed. Not unqualified chaps with a fetish for socialism.
Im sure spne of them voted for the ANC
I blame BEE system, only enriches few cadres with connections when majority of young entrepreneurs who can create jobs are overlooked. The only way to deal with unemployment is through entrepreneurship , government can’t employ people .
Anyone, who voted ANC last week, cannot complain or be horrified by these latest unemployment figures. You voted for the party who’s disastrous economic policies have created this crisis.
I think we should hire Dj Khaled and make him say 'Another one' every time there's another fuel hike 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
This is terrifying
How is this possible with the 5 million jobs created by the ANC just before every election? After 15 years 15 million people should've been employed.
In ten years time will be 80%
Because of whites corruption
Qhubekani ndivotela ANC, the more you vote for it the more you get poor. Qhunekani
They all occupied by foreigners
karaboknrb It's so heart breaking when you see young people being unemployed and struggling, really breaks my heart.
Mmmmmmmm noooooo lies....🤔🤔 vele
Wow
A ticking time bomb...but no one cares....
And in june standard bank is closing 91 branches in South Africa.... More unemployment coming, from then McDonald's wiill start to chop
😭
Is so sad to see unemployment increasing each year
Painful indeed.
These very same unemployed voted for the same party
So what are you actually going to do about this CyrilRamaphosa what are the specifics outside of the usual gumpf? Will we cut company tax? Will we free up the economy ?
ANC 🙌🏻
Maybe its not that bad, remember not so long ago Fikile was also youth
USA is around 4%
Its that 55.2% includes foreigners or only south african cos those guys on this picture most are foreigners
PeteRadali look man.
im not a liverpool fan guys but they really do
Well done MYANC Working your way up to 100 percent we see . Sort out the crime , respect business , black or white , and respect property rights and this can be reversed .
youaintseennothingyet
OkSaLaYo So VoTelA AnC
Let's keep on voting for ANC this number will grow to 70% in the next quarter
💔💔💔💔💔💔
NosiphoZMtshali it's sad really!
I saw these people on Christmas day my heart sank 😢 i on Xmas day nogal, God help those looking for jobs
CyrilRamaphosa I voted for you Mr president please don't fail me regarding this matter.
We need EFF_SA to sort out this mess proudly brought to us by WMC... 😑
queen_dracula Is anyone going to tell us how much of the 55.2% of unemployed youth is actually employable?
Yaaaassss enkere we can't think on our own
wrong graphic stupid
And set to increase even further, sadly..more joblessness looms. No sign of improvement on a stagnated 'SlowMoving' Economy. unemployment
Most of them r not south Africans
We know people that applied for JOBS at the municipality since 2008 till now but these no jobs government has failed our people MYANC CyrilRamaphosa
You can bliv that the majority in MYANC r only there to enrich themselves ...few ppl in MYANC hv what it takes to grow SA n drive youth development n employment initiatives
guys let's not panic Ramaphosa is the only hope we have, other parties have proven themselves not ready to govern.
It is actually 70%.
The People have Spoken ANC
And the majority continue to vote for a party who helped to give us that youth unemployment rate. Mxm.🙄
This is sad thou, graduates 🎓 still unemployed , you are forced to abuse by employers cause you leave your job, you part of stats
We over 50% now mmmmh
And yet ANC got 57%. That's more votes than unemployed youth. Meaning the youth is happy
Where there's unemployment almost all News Channels use this one picture🤔🙄
South African youth must all read 'The Crazy Ones'.. the entrepreneurship book I authored
Then you question why we have so much crime!!
💔
The majority of those people are not even South African
Thanks to Rama 57%
This is sad but ke people don’t want change .Rather the devil they know .
CONGOLOS WENU
Let's also focus on factors such,those people who never took their jobs seriously and they end up stealing and being fired. Where I'm at people steal expensive things from the mine and they end up not working, mostly it's youth. Let's consider contributing factors also
So basically, 1 in 2 people aged 18-35 is unemployed....damn!
Media is only sharing this stats just after elections what a coincidence
It keeps going up ... ANC keeps hiring old people
they deserve it vote ANC
Enca starts campaigning for 2024 already
Unathi_Kwaza Why would anyone be surprised?
ANC government State capture, corruption and BBBEE is the real reason for this, young people of all races cant get jobs, and it also causes exploitation by unscrupulous employers.
Youth Unemployment....the youth should finish school 1st....then maybe when applying for a job they would be considered....A Matric pass on their CV would be priceless
VOTE ANC! Do it for Mandela
And nothing is going to change.
How are we (Youth) expected to work, when the MYANC parliament is full of Gogo's and Mkhulu's. Those people will be ministers until death. There should be a law that entry level jobs shouldn't have this 2-3 relevant experience shit
'...after the ANC won the elections'
Ge re applya bare we are overQualified😭
I'm Leaving Satafrika🚶🏾♀️
Mmaps_ThePro
Jacobs, umngeni, umbilo in Durban and other places used to be manufacturing places clothes, furniture you name it. But ke they bought Chinese and they ruling unemplo2keep on increasing by second. Why this Chinese don't bring their manufacturering company to SA
I know a few young people who will be earning MP salary...but south Africans don't like the idea of young people earning that much.
That figure might be right but that picture is not, most of those people are foreign nationals. Pls be accurate next time. Kind regards.
CyrilRamaphosa The irony ...our youth being afforded free education only to find there is no prospect of employment in SA ! Zumas legacy GoldmanSachs unemployment
Hard times will hit us harf
ANC to answer
❗️❗️❗️
Jip they didnt vote and the people who voted supports it. So there you have it, people dont want jobs they want handouts.
Dont worry Prez Cyril will create millions of jobs....
Yet people still voted & returned to power, the very same government responsible for these high unemployment figures
Am so happy I didn't vote ANc, and will never vote them in life...
This is terrible unemployment 55% SouthAfrica
MYANC
Thsi is serious no wonder crime is escalating and us as Business men even our employees steal from us besides criminals.I suspect its because the money is not enough to feed ten people at a time .GOVERNMENT ASSIST US
Unemployment has increased by 60% in the last 19 years. This us on ANC our youth deserve action not the incredible corruption that has taken over our country in the last 29 years. All on the ANC watch. jsteenhuisen MmusiMaimane Natasha9Mazzone as a DA member action needed
Thank you MYANC
South Africans love to complain and effect no remedies for their pains,you're no different from Zimbabweans who busked under Mugabe's cold shade (liberator) & while he and his family enjoyed a good quality of life
LandNoli No need to complain they voted for the ANC they deserve it we deserve it I'm part of it
Disaster waiting to happen, wait until they get really angry and hungry🔥🔥🔥
Those are Zimbabweans,you'll find a South African next to the corner store in the townships..reference to the pics of your story
Honestly tho..The high school pass rate was decreased to 30%🙄🙄thus making this countrys education system weak. The nsfas was accessible to everyone..yess! More youth getting educated..good! Then booom! There is no employment for them..whats the purpose ke?
Stupidity is when some of u think EFF can do better than this... No investors trusts them... As for jobs, DA can do better but we hate it coz again whites will be up there and apartheid season 2 will load... We don't want that, our best bet at the moment is ANC, CyrilRamaphosa
Some we even have degrees bt still
I am not surprised at all because our government has failed us...... Each and every time there its a vacancy it will need 2-3 year experience I mean what's the use that there are many graduates sitting at home doing nothing because of this 'experience' thing.
No wonder we all opt to do forex trading because of lack of jobs . Rubbish governance
We've exceeded 50%, its over for us😢
I am still yet to hear the strategy that MYANC has to adress this crisis. We cant be saying the youth is the future of this country when the numbers are still this bad.
Don’t worry MYANC will provide jods give them a change please
They must be happy where they are.. The country signed up for another handful of years with ANC.. So they must be happy.
Power to my ANC...
Sad! Very sad! Our beloved country in finished!
I have an onlone
We need to stop (cheap/illegal)Chinese imports and build factories and produce/manufacture locally. Banks and Funding institutions need to come on board & help small businesses who are potential employers who just need a little bit of cash injection...
Grand_MasterM Its so sad💔 And they(politicians)couldnt be bothered.
Why were these figures not released prior to election day ? Eish but would it have made a difference keep lining the pockets of the well connected ... this is depressing
Those are foreigners.Does this stats includes them?
An appalling education system, an uncompetitive 30% pass rate, a naive BEE system that prevents talented business people from sharing job skills and knowledge....it's all fixable only with political will.
Yet the kids didn’t vote...
Problem is even if you apply for the job its already occupied via nepotism or certain connections.
Yohhh.. 😔😔😔😔It's hard out there., n we have old ppl running whom suppose to have retired... Opening up spaces for young people
LandNoli Most of the times you guys include foreign nationals so the statistic may be wrong
That’s the outcome of our education system.
People have voted ANC in majority an all the borders are open we all want same Brad which is not even Enough for us in the house so yaa
This stat doesn't include the expanded definition which is closer to 65/68. By year end you're looking at 70% youth unemployment. By 2021 we'll have a civil riot. Think Arab Spring kind of reactions.
While this statistic really hurts, it's good that the figures are released along with the election results. People must know what their vote meant. Sometimes we need to take a risk and try what has not be tested. But the majority decided to stick with the tried and failed. Sad.
This is just Bad and Sad at the same time.
Population growth 3000000%
ANC has failed our people am glad I didn't Vote them 😭😭💔💔
My younger brother is looking for an internship post in Pharmacy please RT, his employer might be on your timeline. Unemployment eSwatini
They promised, we voted, now we want action
Not to worry. The ANC or EFF will give them all jobs and I will be first to fly to the moon without a rocket.... so easy to bambozzle the idiot masses.
Hulle is net fokken lui. Hulle moet hulle vet gatte lig en ‘n brsigheid brgin of hulle ANC regering vra vir ‘n job.
😂😂😂✊ great job by MYANC
Bring back skills into the schooling system, government has failed our children
NiVotile
Have they tried putting it in rice?
This picture you took its foreign nationals who are always standing at the entrance of cashbuild, south Africa is faced with this because 60% of jobs are occupied by foreign nationals and the government is doing nothing about it.
You see that? Shit like unemployment... we can't just forget about unemployment... we need a plan
Sad, this
Better than voting for a racist organisation in Africa nogals.
We need to utilise the land ourself's
Proudly brought to you by Sunset clause CODESA.
kabelodick It's sad. Worse part they keep declining our business applications for funding 😣😣😣😣
So basically the most active people aren't working..😢
Encourage small business and this unemployment will be history.
this is bad for us job seekers 🤕
From the 52%, how many are trained and skilled in some craft? Thus making them employable. Employmemt is a quick fix. Let's train and educate our nation from an early stage.
Only 44.8% of the youth is employed 💔
This reality is painful
Some tell MYANC how many jobs could've been created with that R208m.
You get what you vote for!
55% of the future is unemployed! What type of future are we building Private sector also needs to assist gov, not enough is being done! unemployment youthunemployment HireAgrad
Yaah this doesnt look good also Zim has a backlog of passport applications but guess were many of these individuals are headed when they get their passports Then again your neighbours business is not yours at all 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
phetoleLEBEA Ni votile
Congratulations to the unemployed people who voted for the ANC because they thought that ANC will produce more jobs.
kabelodick My contract is ending in June, the no. Will go high
It simply means more crime.hard surviving in RSA yet we let our borders to be free flow that does contributes to this no longer tough but rough.1 needs to evacuate RSA for greener pastures else where 😢
How many Mzansi graduates want to go and work in the farms as labourers or hse keepers. That will be an insult right. This is were i have found a lot of foreigners working. If ppl use them as a scapegoat to avoid confronting the ppl responsible for the mess unemployment will rule
Keep on making Slay Queen's Blessers even more rich by voting for ANC and while we suffer after 25 years of empty promises mxm
Viva ANC
2017-2018 stats this year ku rough
Other countries are prioritising on unemployment knowing well enough that all social issues will be solved organically. SA has its priorities so wrong. You need foreign investment to overcome this dire situation. Its is globalised world, its use it to our opportunity
55,2% yoh thats tragedy!!!
'Youth unemployment 55.2%' so wat happen 2 de 'ANC strategy & Tactics Policy'? dat state dat de majority 1 must dominate in everywhere, which is de youth people ,,but it seems like Millennium people a de 1 who is dominating everywhere.
Yet people keep on voting for the ANC who are responsible for this. It's called playing yourself.
This is an abomination. Catastrophic!! When will the youth start to gather assets and build their lives?
It may be a thumbsuck but I would lay money on it that 90% Zimbos in SA are working - and bloody hard. We have created a monster of people who want all for nothing - everything for free - and no work ethic at all. Politics just promises free this and that. Fucking sad.
Brought to you by MYANC
Just be loyal and KEEP ON VOTING ANC......!
I have an idea. Teach them yoga and masturbation techniques. At least they will have skills to help them pass the time.
This breaks my hear, more so because its a vicious cycle
Vote ANC
Re leboha ka mesebetsi Ntate Molimo 😭🙏 bc the unemployment rate is horrific
That’s a pass👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It could be underestimated
