With the youth unemployment rate in South Africa sitting at 52.40% in the first quarter of 2018, the theme for this year’s Youth Month, “Live the legacy towards a socio-economically empowered youth” is both relevant and critical to young South Africans today.

In order to recognise the importance of empowering young South Africans, WBS is hosting a youth entrepreneurship panel discussion that will discuss the challenges and opportunities found in this unique sector.
