As we commemorate 46 years in 2022 of the 16 June uprising, we reflect on the challenges our youth still face today.

High unemployment numbers, worsening poverty levels, limited access to funding for entrepreneurial endeavours, and continued challenges accessing quality programmes to study further are just some of what plagues the youth today but, despite all this, we have seen great resilience and an innovative spirit among this large part of our population.
