Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>South Africa\u2019s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, has announced that the country will spend R800 million ($44 million) on digital skills training for unemployed youth in the country. <\/b><\/p>\n

My Broadband reports that the training package will be provided through the National Skills Fund.<\/p>\n

According to the president, this is one of several investments the country\u2019s digital economy has seen in the past five years. Just recently, companies coughed up an R81 billion ($4.4 billion) pledge at the South Africa Investment Conference (SAIC) to boost the country\u2019s tech and digital projects.<\/p>\n

SAIC has been a money magnet since its inception, pulling in a total of R200 billion ($10.9 billion) for ICT alone! It\u2019s like a digital gold rush, with commitments flowing into the data, telecoms, mining, manufacturing, energy, property, logistics, and even food and beverage sectors.<\/p>\n

The president wants to enable South Africans to use their skills to take advantage of employment and economic opportunities in the country\u2019s growing digital economy.<\/p>\n
