Wolmaransstad - Various youth individuals from Maquassi Hills became part of the Unemployment Dialogue that was organised by the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District. The dialogue sought to challenge the impact left by the high unemployment in the district
The "Youth Dialogue on Unemployment" led passionate contributions from the youth panelists of the district. The dialogue provided a platform for young people to voice their concerns and propose actionable solutions to the pressing issue of unemployment
Key points raised by the panelists included - Industry Relocation to Townships. The youth requested that the government relocate industries to townships
They argued that this move would support local businesses, which currently face challenges due to procurement processes favouring suppliers from neighboring provinces rather than within the district to ensure more stable employment for young people, the panelists suggested scrapping the current tender system in favor of permanent job opportunities
Frustrations were voiced about government funding, which, according to the youth, often fails to reach those who need it most. They called for a more transparent and equitable distribution of funds
The youth also requested that the Executive Mayor of the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality should donate a piece of land where they can showcase their skills and develop business ideas. This would provide a tangible space for innovation and entrepreneurship within the community
These discussions underscored critical need for tailored government interventions to address youth unemployment. The panelists' insights highlighted a collective desire for systemic changes that would empower the district's young population and stimulate local economic growth
