Today, President Cyril Ramaphosa reaffirmed the government's commitment to empowering our youth through three strategic fronts: 1️⃣ Expanding public employment, youth service, and workplace experience opportunities. 2️⃣ Reshaping the skills system so that qualifications lead more directly to work and enterprise. 3️⃣ Opening up the productive economy to young people. Over the next three years, the state is investing R1 trillion in infrastructure. This investment will create apprenticeships, artisan development, skills transfer and enterprise development for young people. #YouthDay2026🇿🇦 #YouthBuiltToLeadZA #CapableState #GovZAUpdates

RECAP 🎥 | Today, President Ramaphosa reminded the youth of South Africa that the struggle of young people did not begin with the class of 1976. “…they stood on the shoulders of earlier generations, leaders such as Anton Lembede, Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, Oliver Tambo, Albertina Sisulu, Lilian Ngoyi and Robert Sobukwe, who moved the liberation struggle towards mass mobilisation and direct action. They were shaped, too, by a wider current of liberation. Across the continent, the struggles of Ghana, Algeria, Mozambique, Angola and the Congo showed that colonialism could be defeated” said the President. #YouthDay2026 #YouthBuiltToLeadZA #CapableState #GovZAUpdates

HIGHLIGHTS 🎥 | “…Fifty years ago, not far from where we stand today, thousands of young South Africans marched carrying nothing but their schoolbooks, their courage and their dreams. They faced bullets with bare hands. They confronted injustice with extraordinary bravery. And through their sacrifice, they changed the course of our nation's history.” Full speech 👉🏽zurl.co/jcQYY #YouthDay2026 #YouthBuiltToLeadZA #CapableState #GovZAUpdates
