Young people should be groomed to improve production in the country to free it from the crisis it is in, says the founder of the South African Council for Graduates.
Thamsanqa Maqubela, who believes the youth can build the economy, vouches for “careers of the future”, adding that his organisation assists youngsters with the Life After Matric Programme (Lamp).
The programme addresses challenges in the school system, focusing on grades 9 to 12. He says going to university is not the only route pupils can follow, as opportunities are endless.
