Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>EFF leader Julius Malema wants unemployed university and college graduates to be given stipends that are more than the R350 grant the government rolls out to people without jobs.<\/p>\n

Malema was speaking at the party\u2019s 16 June rally at the Durban University of Technology in KwaZulu-Natal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to pay people according to their qualifications. If there is no matric then R350, [people with] matric [get] R1 000. Like that. That is the only way we will defeat illiteracy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Malema said giving the stipends to unemployed graduates was important to empower the younger generation to not be deterred by unemployment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who are coming after you will never get to school. They will say, \u2018My sister is an engineer, yet she is poor and unemployed \u2014 why must I go to school?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must pay you for going to school because we said to you, go to school and get a job to better your family. You went to school and now we cannot give you a job.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet going to school be rewarded. If they cannot give us [youth] the jobs that they promised, they must give us the money,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to Stats SA, unemployment increased from 32.7% in 2022 to 32.9% in the first quarter of 2023, representing 7.9-million people without work. About 44.7% of those were people aged between 15 and 34 who were not in school, employment or training.<\/p>\n

Malema encouraged students to vote in the national elections in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are calling on young people to declare that 2024 is their 1994. We want the youth of South Africa to make a decision in 2024 and know that it is either the bottle or the ballot.\u201d<\/p>\n

TimesLIVE reported that deputy president Paul Mashatile, speaking at a Youth Day commemoration in Mangaung, said the government was determined to ensure the youth have access to socioeconomic opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur initiatives, strategies and programmes are geared towards providing a hand-up, as opposed to a handout. We believe that when we give the youth a hand-up, you enable them to see something inside themselves that they did not previously see.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal is to make sure that young people see a chance that didn\u2019t exist before and know that they can do more than they thought they could before,\u201d Mashatile said.<\/p>\n
