The African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) renews its call for President Cyril Ramaphosa to declare youth unemployment a national disaster after the youth unemployment rate rises to 33.6% in the second quarter.
The IOL reports that the ANCYL frames the increase as evidence that urgent government intervention is needed. Across the sources provided, the core facts remain the same: the rate reaches 33.6%, the request is directed at Ramaphosa, and the measure sought is a national disaster declaration. The coverage focuses on the ANCYL’s response to the latest labour statistics, with no additional policy details or government responses included in the excerpts.
