Does it not bother you?

-
The South African unemployment rate has increased to 29.1% in the third quarter of the year 2019, this is an increase of 0.1% from the previous quarter statistics.


Where are we heading as country? Does it not bother you?

If the unemployment rate keeps going up like this what will be happening in the next 5 years to come?  The sad reality to every young person in South Africa is that the stats might continue going high and high.

With the 29.1% of unemployment we still have a lot of Students in universities and colleges all over the country who are looking forward to go in the corporate world.

Will they even find jobs?

Where will all these people go after graduating?

We hear now and then of big companies and mines that are retrenching people, those people are qualified for that job and we still have more who want the same job.


Who are we supposed to blame? Is it our government?

As always in the State of the nation address we are told of the things that the government will want to focus on but the big question is :are they doing as they said?


This is a national crisis and it should be addressed adequately and it should be on top of the issues that we face as a country.  It does not end by talking but more action needs to be done.

She is the founder of Help Matriculate Centre (HMC) and Masedi Education projects. Phahlamohlaka has always had so much passion for education which today she stands to advocate for, through the organisation HMC she has managed to help thousands of learners apply for tertiary education. She did her first degree at the Witwatersrand University, which she says she did not like doing. "The time I finished my matric, mining was one of the sectors which had many jobs, and studying geology made sense to me at that time," said Phaahlamohlaka. She says she wanted to help matriculants, not to choose courses they do not want and also to help those who do not have finances to pay for application and registration fees. A block of classrooms that Phahlamohlaka is working on. ...

The 2019 Matriculants of South  Africa are very optimis tic  about their final exams, which are to start on Wednesday 23 October 2019. English first Additional language is the first main Exam to be written by the class of 2019. They are approximately about 790 405 pupils who will be writing the 2019 national senior certificate(NSC). The government has always been behind the pupils from day one offering the support they needed. The Matric candidates were encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities that were available to them from the begin of the 2019 academic year so that they can develop themselves to be better citizens. The government had removed many barriers to education by introducing "no fee" schools and offering bursaries and study loans to students who want to study at institutions of higher learning.
