Being South African

There is no doubt that young people in South Africa face a myriad of problems: high unemploymentpoor educational outcomesvarious forms of poverty, and less than ideal mental and physical health, including high rates of HIV.

Young people are also often characterised as being politically apathetic, lazy, and engaged in general unrest. Young South Africans – aged between 15 to 34 years – constitute almost a third of the South African population. But where are the voices of the youth themselves?

It is difficult to picture myself being an addition to the massive unemployment rate. Social media platforms are used to promote phoniness, mediocrity and other non-valuable projections of this century.
