Download Why is unemployment so high in South Africa?
South Africa’s unemployment rate has hit a record high: it’s now 34.4%, which means about 7.8 million people are currently without a job. Young South Africans - especially young graduates - have been hit the hardest. So, how did things get so out of hand? And is the pandemic solely to blame for this?
Hosted by Alan Kasujja (@Kasujja on Twitter)
Guests: Mpho, young unemployed South African; Phumlani Majozi, columnist on economics and politics.
