Give the #youth a chance! Not encouragement and pep talk #GirlTalkZA

Being a young person in South Africa might be the hardest thing ever.

Yes, we have freedom and opportunities but, often, getting ahead depends on who you know.

There are many graduates who are unemployed because of the "experience" that employers require from job seekers.

In reality you have to work hard at your studies to get a qualification and hustle even harder to make ends meet.

Young people are always being encouraged to start their own businesses but this requires capital and very few business people and financial institutions are willing to back a new and unknown business.

If only we could give one another a chance, then we might be able to curb unemployment and help grow our country, together.
