ANCYL President Collen Malatji has threatened to take their fight against unemployment to the next level. In a recent speech, Malatji expressed his frustration with the high unemployment rate in South Africa and vowed to do everything in his power to address this pressing issue.
Malatji, who was elected as the President of the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) in 2019, has been a vocal advocate for youth empowerment and job creation. He has been actively involved in various initiatives aimed at tackling unemployment, such as the Youth Employment Service (YES) program and the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA).
In his speech, Malatji highlighted the alarming statistics of youth unemployment in South Africa, which currently stands at a staggering 63.3%. He emphasized that this issue cannot be ignored any longer and that the ANCYL is ready to take bold and decisive action.
“We cannot sit back and watch our youth suffer from the lack of opportunities. It is our duty as the ANCYL to fight for the rights of our young people and ensure that they have a bright future ahead of them,” said Malatji.
The ANCYL has been at the forefront of advocating for policies and programs that will create job opportunities for the youth. They have been engaging with government officials and business leaders to find solutions to the unemployment crisis. However, Malatji believes that more needs to be done and that the ANCYL will not back down until tangible results are seen.
“We have exhausted all diplomatic channels, and now it is time for action. We will not rest until every young person in South Africa has access to decent employment,” he declared.
Malatji also called on the private sector to play their part in addressing unemployment. He urged businesses to invest in youth development and create job opportunities for the youth. He emphasized that the ANCYL is willing to work hand in hand with the private sector to find innovative solutions to the unemployment crisis.
The ANCYL has already started implementing some of their plans to tackle unemployment. They have launched a skills development program that aims to equip young people with the necessary skills to enter the job market. They have also partnered with various organizations to provide mentorship and internship opportunities for the youth.
Malatji’s strong stance on unemployment has been met with praise and support from various sectors of society. Many have commended him for his determination and unwavering commitment to addressing this critical issue. Social media has been abuzz with messages of encouragement and solidarity with the ANCYL’s fight against unemployment.
One Twitter user wrote, “Thank you, President Malatji, for standing up for the youth. We need leaders like you who are not afraid to take action and fight for our future.”
Another user tweeted, “I am proud to be a member of the ANCYL, led by President Malatji. Together, we will overcome unemployment and build a better future for the youth.”
Malatji’s bold statement has also caught the attention of government officials. The Minister of Employment and Labour, Thulas Nxesi, has expressed his willingness to work with the ANCYL to find solutions to unemployment. He has also assured the youth that the government is committed to creating job opportunities and reducing the unemployment rate.
In conclusion, the ANCYL’s fight against unemployment has reached a new level with President Malatji’s strong stance. The youth of South Africa can rest assured that their voices are being heard, and their future is being fought for. With the support of the private sector and government, the ANCYL’s efforts are bound to yield positive results. As President Malatji said, “We will not stop until every young person in South Africa has a job and a chance at a better life.”
