After recent polls, the legacy of Nelson Mandela in South Africa is being scrutinized. Today, many young South Africans are struggling with unemployment and lack of basic needs. With 60 percent of youth out of a job, they are left wondering how to shape their country’s future. The discussion also includes the role of social media in mobilizing young people to participate in the change they want to see.
During the poll, presenter Anelise Borges was joined by guests Samantha Jansen and Philani Mthembu, both content creators, journalist Nickolaus Bauer, and Tessa Dooms, director of programmes at Rivonia Circle. The conversation focused on the challenges faced by the youth in South Africa and the potential solutions to address them.
The guests highlighted the importance of creating opportunities for young people to prosper and contribute to the country’s development. They also discussed the role of social media in amplifying youth voices and mobilizing them to take action. Despite the challenges, there was optimism about the potential for positive change in South Africa.
As the country reflects on Mandela’s legacy, the discussion serves as a timely reminder of the work that still needs to be done to ensure a brighter future for the youth of South Africa. It is clear that the road ahead may be difficult, but with determination and collaboration, there is hope for a better tomorrow.
