Okay, Apartheid is over for nearly 20 years and we get the freedom to do a lot of thing but a lot has not been changed everything that goes wrong and every problem that presents itself is due to Apartheid, but that is simply not true, we still have no excuse but our own incompetence and greed.....no current major problems are the aftermath of Apartheid. yes we still have major strategic problems and challenges facing South Africa right now are, poverty, HIV/Aids, fraud, corruption and crime.Unemployment numbers are very high ,Skills shortage . crime and rape is biggest problem around the world,but America actually has the most crime on Earth (see Top 10 of everything by Russel Ash). All countries have crime problems, though I think rape is the big problem.biggest problem with South Africa nowadays
The good news is that they can all be addressed, managed and minimized and the bad news is that very little is been done due because we don't wanna work together as one and i still say this South Africa is still a nice country to live in.everyone knows what they think should be done but nobody wants to give a sample of their brilliant work. Even the people who complain about 'no sense of community' don't do anything to improve the community.
South Africa government has taken major steps towards removing these problems. It is currently fighting to survive among the current world recession and its own political turmoil. Its markets however have proven to be the strongest in Africa.
The majority of these problems affect the youth of South Africa. i look up to people who have made it so i can make it to where their are like people Patrice Motsepe, Bill Gates,Richard Branson,Mark Zuckerberg people so Started From The Bottom work they way up and some started for nothing .if we can do what they have done but with our own ideas we can go places as South Africa youth
SA report found that only a small number of young South Africans were entrepreneurs.
Only 6.8% of South Africans between the ages of 18 and 24 were entrepreneurs and 10.2% between 25 and 34.
South Africa this lack of entrepreneurship is causing the country to miss out on opportunities and cites entrepreneurship as a factor in the economic growth of the United States.
Forty years ago, 90% of Americans were it the some age were self-employed entrepreneurs who ran their own companies.today many of those companies are global leaders and drivers of economic growth.
With limited jobs available and a soaring youth unemployment rate, one would expect the unemployed youth of South Africa to seek alternative forms of employment."In poor economic conditions young people are generally the first to lose their jobs and last to be hired
However, this was not the case, as the GEM report said only 14.3% of South Africans were interested in starting their own business.
"The study indicated that South Africa has the fifth lowest entrepreneurial intent amongst all efficiency-driven economies in the world
The youth of South Africa are the solution to South Africa's problems. Until we realise that we need to take an active role in civil society and develop our vision for our respective country, Africa will remain a third world country. We need to spend more time thinking and organizing ourselves instead of having a drunken night on a Saturday night. More Vision, dreaming and doing. i request all.. youth, citizen.. wake up.. fight against Crime .. and bring Peace and harmony to our country .this is what we are thought from childhood but we are not implementing it in our lives
