@@lightningRatPack no not really the ANC and Mandela accepted right wing neo liberal politics and didnt change policies and this made ANC stand in the centre of these policies hence the constitution of SA. Its a ticking time bomb cause Ramaphosa is moving ANC to the right although have left wing policies 🙁 thats why theres so much corruption
@@njabulonhlaka1513 It wasn't about them accepting neo-liberal politics that drove South Africa to the cesspool that is now. Plenty of countries that have this economic system do not have 60% youth unemployment. It is about corruption and mismanagement. The ANC for too long rode on the coattails of their anti-apartheid struggle and took for granted their political power and influence. They thought they could do anything with no repercussions as they pretty much had almost absolute power post-apartheid. They fell prey to the idea that they became too big to fail. Moving to the right is the RIGHT move, since for too long South Africa has dabbled into bankrupt leftist policies. Cause lets face it, the ANC's foundation is in Marxism. Mandela was a Marxist. Most of the anti-apartheid struggle leaders with Marxists. Oh, and the guy above is right though. Post-apartheid SA has more racist laws than apartheid SA had. What solution does the SA far-left has to offer? Blame the whites, take their land, take their property and give them to the blacks. Because that worked wonders in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe).
thank you Al Jazeera for shedding light on the dark lingering truth about youth unemployment in south africa. The current generation is a product of grief, and unemployment is 1 of many socio economic factors that's contributing to other socio economic issues especially in low income communities.
True and if the present GNU government fails to fix this then I don't know. Every job should be occupied by South African Youth, we can't be looking after someone else's people when our kids are starving
All our political parties have an absolute apathy towards catering to the youth in an election. Since 1994 until now, we average about 1.2 million teens turning 18, of that only between 100 000 to 200 000 ever register to vote every year. Our grant system with 20 million getting grants, with only 7 million been tax payers, 25% of this is pre-teen and teen pregnancies between the ages of 10 and 19. Political parties are apathetic and out of touch with the youth, made no effort to engage and have zero strategic plan.
Respectable SOUTH AFRICA Youth 🇿🇦❤, Your LEADER MANDELA❤ has passed thru many HARDSHIPS ...just for his INNOCENTS...So...don't ACCEPT CORRUPT MAFIAS DEMANDS...n....JUST STAND for Your RIGHTS which GOD has given to You❤.
The frustration of the youth is understandable. But not only of the youth, but also all currently unemployed people in South Africa. It is not their fault since there are many factors contributing to this both past, the present and the future. And it is not the politicians' fault entirely although it can be clearly said that little is done to effectively improve the economy. Many global issues and local demographic issues play a role. It would also be beneficial to know what the definition of 'youth' is for the purposes of this documentary. South Africa had a population explosion since 1994 and before so there is ever increasing competition and pressure for employment in an ailing economy. Add robotics and automation to previously labour intensive industries that have eliminated many manual and repetitive jobs and will continue to do so. The educational standards are poor in many cases, making many unemployables in jobs that have not been taken over by automation. In the meantime, AI and digitization will also contribute to redundancies soon. Militant unions that regularly strike, the general crime situation, the unrest and near anarchy middle of last year, in which many 'youths' took part, further make the country unattractive for any investor.
Being young in South Africa also means you don't vote, despite being the largest population within the country and the one that has the potential to affect the most change the fastest.
@10:00 - @15:30 It is interesting to hear several of the guests talk in circuitous ways about the racial divide that created the current inequity. No one is saying plainly that Blk people were subjugated and disenfranchised, and remain that way to this day, and that Yt people benefited directly from that racist system (and still do benefit). I heard a story from a Yt S. African where he talked about seeing Yt people pay for the services of Blk S. Africans by giving them candy (not money), as if they were children. They would benefit from speaking more directly to this issue, and not speaking around it. A system to redistribute wealth that was accumulated by the Yt colonizers would be a good start to fix the inequity. @15:15 "Young ppl in S. Africa don't want a hand out, they want a hand up"...how convenient for this Yt man to say after his ancestors and he have benefited from subjugating ppl for centuries. Also, I feel like "Young ppl" is being used as code for "Black". I'm fairly sure the unemployed that they are circuitously referring to are vast majority Black S. Africans who have historically been disenfranchised.
There is alot of truth in what you are saying, but it does not let corrupt politicians off the hook, from Malema to Ramaphosa, both benefitted from questionable government tenders and backroom deals at the expense of South Africans.
"How do you shape your country's future if you are left by the sidelines?" By developing your own city (Orania) like the Afrikaners are doing. By developing cultural communities where you give work to your own and put up businesses. South Africa since 1994 when we vote for "democracy" is chaotic, democracy in a multicultural country cannot work. Most Afrikaners are not really part of the current South Africa, they are developing themselves while the rest are not really getting anywhere.
@@Wealthy_Iam In many ways they did. And all of them face the same problems that blacks in Africa face. Because they have an issue of culture. Unless they change their culture, their mentality, the way they are approaching things, nothing will change. There is a reason why blacks in America, even though they have been far removed from their African roots for generations, they still face the same difficulties and issues. The only black people I know who are living a good life are those who removed themselves from the culture fostered by the African communities in Europe. These are the people who do not live among their fellow Africans. They were clever enough to remove themselves from them and integrated into the wider European culture. But these are the few who realized that the issue is not with Europeans, but with their own community. Also, one needs to ask himself why the Afrikaners are more efficient at building a better community and achieve prosperity than their fellow black Africans. Because this is not about race, it is about culture. Europeans have a culture of entrepreneurship a predilection towards innovation and science. We have not achieved what we have achieved out of sheer luck. Black Africans should stop envying us for our success and seek to emulate our success. Rather than putting hurdles to stop us from succeeding, try to copy what we are doing and maybe that will improve things for your own community.
Where to begin... 1. South Africans are not united by the stretch of the imagination. There is still a divide, especially with our beliefs; - We still debate on political worldview: capitalism or socialism - We still debate on philosophical views be it Christianity, Isintu, Islam, Hinduism or Atheism - We still debate on cultural ideals: whether to be Conservative or Progressive; Afrocentric, Eurocentric or a blend of both If we disagree on fundamentals, inevitably we will disagree on everything else 2. South Africa as a country is symbolic of South Africans as a nation: - Compare the 60% unemployment rate to the 65% fatherlessness rate - Compare the crime rate to the unemployment/uneducated rate - Compare state corruption to community disruption - Study the divorce rate, the marriage rate and the birth rate Seeing that we have failed to build strong families, we have failed to build strong communities and a strong nation 3. The solution to our conundrum in my opinion goes as follows: - Instead of having the demography of South African provinces determined by ethnic groups, rathed let them be determined by common values and beliefs - Before we achieve economic reform, we ought to achieve ethical reform first - Before we build our economies, we ought to build enterprises and establish skill development centers, that way we have more compitent and competitive citizens - Lastly, let us actively participate in the 4th industrial revolution, from the lowest to highest among us
A degree is not a guarantee to get a job. That scenario is world wide the case not only in South Africa. State looting has depleted the government in SA, no money.
Socialism consultative democracy is only government model that will work in African countries.Venezuela has sanctions that don't count Do you know the value of minerals SA export every year ? South africa should be richer than UAE,Singapore,Norway they have more natural resources instead it is one of most unequal countries in Earth.Few elite enjoys the mineral export value chain while the rest of masses rely on government handouts.
I am not a fan of this GNU but i am hopeful. The privileged and the disadvantaged are now working together to find solutions. Who knows maybe the only huddle to understanding and working together towards a better future is only a misunderstanding? I am not playing down what apartheid and corruption has done to the nation, but maybe the solutions is to work together and not to expect the other race to understand your side of a story. Experience it.

LOL accountability hahah has nothing to do with the fact that all blk leaders are well known for stealing and corruption. haha it has nothing to do with the 100 criminal cases opened on most blk leaders, its external influence hahah that weird accountability. haha
All this accountability drivel goes away when you guys voted for Jakob Zuma, who has pretty much destroyed SA with his corruption scandals. You fail to hold your own politicians accountable and you expect to hold 'foreign actors' and 'imperialists' accountable. Most of SA's current issues are self-made. 30 years of neglect and corruption.
What the Youths of South Afrika are saying applies to the whole of Afrika. In the case os South Afrika the ANC, PAC, and the rest of the Gorilla War fighters needs to be training the Youths who're actually the future of this Continent. Training meaning they teach them how to stand against Neo-Colonialism and Imperialism. In exception of Senegal and the shaky one in Kenya this Continent are ran by Geriatric and over 60's. Who Careless about the Future of this Continent. All the think about is their pockets. That must change going forward.
Amazing that none of these young people talk about the population explosion .....no economy can keep up with this. Take responsibility for breeding and providing for the people you create.....
This fair and unbiased agency keep deleting my comment, my comment was “ When a student get arrested for protesting for Palestine in on campus and disturbing campus environment , you report a news and question human rights and free speech in Western countries, you question human free speech when a Palestine’s student visa got revoked in UK for participating in the protest, why the fuc* you didn’t report a news and question free speech when a Palestine student got deported by UAE for chanting fri Pilestine”?? Why!??? Why don’t you do fair journalism?
Al Jazeera has broadcasted the student protests in Bangladesh. However their responsibility is to cover vast news across the world. Not just Bangladesh. But every country facing insecurity
what is this nonsense, teach children manners , the children of today did not experienced apartheid dont make what is not, discipline is needed and appreciation for life, this is reversed racism to talk like this, the children in South Africa today are fortunate and spoiled rotton, i didn't even have school shoes when mine broke and i am Apartheid generation, we didn't always have the best foods, so don't make what's not and stop blaming the past

Power belongs to the sovereign
Accountability is King in Africa's "democracies". The other problem is external jnfluence. We must find ways to check the foreign actors/imperialists
LOL accountability hahah has nothing to do with the fact that all blk leaders are well known for stealing and corruption. haha it has nothing to do with the 100 criminal cases opened on most blk leaders, its external influence hahah that weird accountability. haha
All this accountability drivel goes away when you guys voted for Jakob Zuma, who has pretty much destroyed SA with his corruption scandals. You fail to hold your own politicians accountable and you expect to hold 'foreign actors' and 'imperialists' accountable. Most of SA's current issues are self-made. 30 years of neglect and corruption.
What the Youths of South Afrika are saying applies to the whole of Afrika.
In the case os South Afrika the ANC, PAC, and the rest of the Gorilla War fighters needs to be training the Youths who're actually the future of this Continent.
Training meaning they teach them how to stand against Neo-Colonialism and Imperialism.
In exception of Senegal and the shaky one in Kenya this Continent are ran by Geriatric and over 60's. Who Careless about the Future of this Continent.
All the think about is their pockets.
That must change going forward.
The problem in South Africa is the same in all liberal democracies. The capitalist system is failing.
No, the problem in South Africa is widespread corruption, poor governance, and lack of political will from those in power.
you mean the private system everyone wants to use that is failing. haha or is it the fact that all blk leaders love corruption and theft.
ANC's foundation is anything but capitalist though. They are Marxists at origin.
And who's advising them to slow down on alcohol lol

NSFAS ? Students Allowances …
This fair and unbiased agency keep deleting my comment, my comment was “ When a student get arrested for protesting for Palestine in on campus and disturbing campus environment , you report a news and question human rights and free speech in Western countries, you question human free speech when a Palestine’s student visa got revoked in UK for participating in the protest, why the fuc* you didn’t report a news and question free speech when a Palestine student got deported by UAE for chanting fri Pilestine”?? Why!??? Why don’t you do fair journalism?
