Youth unemployment in South Africa<\/strong> is one of the biggest challenges facing the country today. If June 16 happened today, what would South Africa\u2019s youth be marching against?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would it be youth unemployment in South Africa? Would it be economic exclusion? Would it be an education system that gives access but does not always lead to work? Would it be corruption, weak accountability and a growing lack of trust in public institutions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These questions shaped the Regenesys masterclass, Honouring the Legacy of June 16: Youth Leadership, Education, and Ethical Governance in South Africa<\/em>. The discussion did not treat Youth Day as only a moment in history. Instead, it asked what the legacy of 1976 means for young South Africans today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The youth of 1976 fought against a system that tried to limit their future through unequal education. Today\u2019s youth face a different struggle. They are asking for access to jobs, economic participation, digital inclusion, ethical leadership and systems that work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why youth unemployment in South Africa is not only an economic issue. It is also a leadership issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
