Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Scores of youths were seen lining up at the National Security Services (NSS) offices today submitting their applications. This came after NSS advertised 80 posts open for recruitment.<\/p>\n

Dozens of hopeful youths were lined up from as early as 7 am at the NSS offices. Public Eye spoke to Thebe Tsatsi, a 23-year-old from Mokhotlong currently studying at Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, doing his last year as a fashion designer.<\/p>\n

Tsatsi said he came to apply because although he has not yet completed his studies, he already knows that the chances of him getting a job are slim therefore he decided to try his luck and apply.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to the high unemployment rate in Lesotho, I know that I might not get a job therefore I am here today to try my luck and though the line is long, I am willing to wait and endure,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am willing to drop out of school at any time should I get this job.<\/p>\n

I would rather remain without a tertiary qualification if I get a job than having a degree without a job,\u201d he concluded. Lesotho\u2019s unemployment rate for 2019 was 23.41 percent.<\/p>\n

The most worrying trend is a rising unemployment rate among youths with tertiary qualifications as more and more graduate while job opportunities keep shrinking.<\/p>\n
