Creating opportunities through South Africa's high unemployment
With some of the worst unemployment stats in the world, South Africa is in desperate need of getting people to work.
In this week's episode of How Would You Build It, we discussed the sad reality of the general South African mindset about getting jobs vs applying for government grants. Renier Kriel released some interesting stats in his open letter this week.
So we thought let us look at where the opportunities were to build companies on the back of these major issues.
Watch as we chat about how platforms like @SweepsouthSA , @JOBJACK_ , Jobox, Strove, @Digemycom&@RecruitMyMomStaffing that are helping solve these problems.
If you have a business that is helping, please let us know, we would love to hear about it.
