Pictured above is a lettuce crop being grown at the YES Kago Green Engine hub, in Tembisa. The hub is the first of 100 planned for launch across the country under the aegis of the Youth Employment Service (YES) scheme. The hubs aim to address youth unemployment challenges by bringing opportunities to the doorsteps of underserved communities. The YES initiative, launched by President Cyril Ramaphosa in March 2018, aims to facilitate employment experience for a million young people over three years. To date, it has managed to create opportunities for 16 500 young people. Photograph: Engineering News Chief Photographer Dylan Slater
