A recent Centre for Development and Enterprise (CDE) report confirmed just how big a crisis South Africa has in the area of youth unemployment. The CDE found that, of the country’s 20-million citizens aged between 15 and 34, 7.5-million were not in employment, education or training at the end of 2016. That is equivalent to the entire workforce of Gauteng and nearly six times as large as the number of people employed in mining and agriculture combined. Without doubt, it’s a real social catastrophe in the making.
