President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to meet with young people at a Presidential Youth Roundtable in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) is hosting the engagement ahead of the State of the Nation Address (SONA).<\/p>\n

The event is an opportunity for young South Africans to share their views and challenges directly with the president and members of his executive.<\/p>\n

Tuesday’s discussions will focus on the life of a young South African.<\/p>\n

Khayelitsha youth will have the president’s ear to share their opinions, ideas and realities ahead of the annual SONA in Cape Town on Thursday.<\/p>\n

High unemployment, poor quality education, high crime rate, substance abuse, and significant mental health struggles are among the topics on their agenda.<\/p>\n

South Africa’s youth unemployment remains critical, with the 15-24 age group facing a 58.5% jobless rate, and the demographic aged 25-34 is at 38.4%.<\/p>\n

Several ministers are expected to participate in these discussions to address matters related to their respective portfolios.<\/p>\n
