South Africa has millions of young people looking for work, but getting that first job can be difficult when employers often ask for previous work experience — even for entry-level positions. Almost six in ten unemployed young South Africans have no previous work experience, according to Statistics South Africa. This creates a frustrating cycle: you need experience to get a job, but you need a job to get experience. Research by Youth Capital and JOBJACK has also highlighted the financial burden of looking for work, with transport alone costing many young jobseekers hundreds of rand each month. But employers also face risks when hiring inexperienced workers, particularly in industries where staff turnover is high.

As Heritage Month comes to an end, we reflect beyond the celebrations, traditional attire, food, music and cultural festivities to ask a deeper question: What part of your culture are young people slowly forgetting? For generations, culture has been passed down through language, traditional ceremonies, respect for elders, family traditions, indigenous games, music, dance and traditional food. But with changing lifestyles, social media and evolving attitudes, some of these traditions are becoming less common among younger generations. Are we slowly losing important parts of our cultural identity — or is culture simply evolving with the times? In this Midweek Chat, Capricorn DRIVE explores what may be disappearing, why it is happening, and whether these traditions can still be preserved for future generations.
