Ramaphosa urges Soweto youth to apply for available opportunities
Most young people expressed their frustration over a lack of jobs.
African National Congress (ANC) President Cyril Ramaphosa urged Soweto youth to apply for available opportunities in various sectors during a door-to-door campaign in the township. The visit came ahead of next week's local government elections. Many young people expressed their dissatisfaction with the lack of job and education prospects.
Ramaphosa emphasized that they should not solely depend on the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) for their needs. Meanwhile, the ANC Head of Campaigns, Mdumiseni Ntuli, stated that the election campaign is gaining traction after the registration of 181 councillor candidates previously barred from participating in the elections due to the IEC's deadline.
These candidates have since been reinstated. ANC President Ramaphosa toured Ward 29, Diepkloof, engaging with residents regarding service delivery progress and their concerns.
