Before the Covid-19 pandemic devastated the country, the number of employed persons in the country was at 16.4 million and with the recent STATS SA release the number has slightly increased to 16.7 million, which is higher than the 16.4 million recorded before COVID-19 hit us. The youth aged between 15 and 34 years old are the ones that are tremendously locked out of opportunities.

This means 43.4% of the youth are unable to contribute meaningfully to the economy. This evening on our profile interview we talk to Stephen A. Newton - MD of Aleph who represent X, TikTok, Snapchat, Spotify in Africa, about unlocking Africa's Digital Potential. It's not all doom and gloom there are opportunities, they are just not the traditional kind. It's online, and it's social media!  He writes really interesting articles on LinkedIn and is very passionate about up skilling the African Youth who by approximately 2050 will be the workforce of the world in the future.

Social media channels are fast becoming an opportunity for employment - he can talk exclusively about this region and investment retailers are making in Africa alone on Twitter, Snapchat, Yahoo & Spotify.

South Africa is considered to be the rape capital of the world with 10 818 rape cases reported in the first quarter of 2022. The rate at which women are killed by intimate partners in this country is five times higher than the global average. In September 2021, three new laws were passed with the aims of improving the criminal justice system's response to GBV; enhancing protection for survivors; and strengthening prevention strategies. In addition, President Cyril Ramaphosa pledged that the national government would earmark R1. 6 billion to counter GBV. Was that ever achieved? We’re there any significant work done to show that there is work being done to reduce or eradicate this scourge? To answer these questions were joined by Dr Nthabiseng Moleko, Economist at Stellenbosch Business School

To unpack this wonderful life story, we are joined by Prof Jaco Beyers, Head of department in Religion Studies at University of Pretoria.
