After years of clowning the government, we didn’t expect a reply. Then the Presidency said yes to our family meeting and sent out an official press release about it…So instead of Cupcake giving another "my fellow South Africans" speech, we flipped it. Deputy Minister Nonceba Mhlauli pulled up on Zoom to take your questions on the youth unemployment crisis, now at 47.4 percent.

KG sits down and asks the questions young people actually want answered. “Why do internships never turn into real jobs? Why do young people only get consulted after the big decisions are already made?” And he doesn’t skip on the spice either, going straight at the politicians telling unemployed people to stop “basking in the sun” and go find work.Is it enough? Not yet. We still want bolder action. But she showed up, and that counts for something.
