South Africa’s Cabinet thanked citizens for joining in the country’s Youth Day celebrations on 16 June 2023 under the theme: “Accelerating youth economic emancipation for a sustainable future”.
Cabinet welcomed the launch of the state-of-the-art Public Employment Mobile Bus by the Departments of Basic Education, Higher Education, Science and Innovation, and Employment and Labour in collaboration with the European Union’s Education for Employability programme.
These opportunity buses travel to far-flung areas to help learners and work-seekers on their employment path by matching individuals’ strengths and capabilities to potential careers and job opportunities.
In addition, Cabinet further welcomed the initiatives by the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development to support youth to participate in the agricultural sector in their revitalisation of communal areas such as the Marapyane-Bakgatla primary cooperative.
This cooperative has created more than 100 jobs in their villages; these youth are primarily grain and sunflower farmers.
