There is struggles with regards to jobs in South Africa, today, unemployment is at the region of 30%, around 1 million graduates are unemployed but majority of these graduates are in the humanities and very few in the STEM fields, it is relatively easy to find a job in the STEM fields than the humanities. One of the biggest challenges facing South Africa is it's constitution, why?, it protects property rights, that in itself is good but the land that was brutally taken from it's indigenous people by the 10% of the citizens who are European and own70% of the land, this land is for settlement, farming, tourism, mining etc.... so, the constitution is now holding it's indigenous people hostage because for them to invest do not only need a business Idea and starter capital but they also need the land, land much of them do not have because the 10% of the population have it and now they have to employ majority of the 85% of the population, we need land for startups, farming, mining, tourism, investment into the housing sector, etc.... So, South Africa is very imperfect and a lot still needs to be done but if you compare it to all of Africa, Eastern Europe(excluding Russia) most of South America, much of Asia and South Africa beats them all.

We paint a picture because in the Zulu Culture it's very important to know your ancestry in order to know who you are. Growing up our parents call us by our tribe/clan names (which is usually names of our ancestors) in order to preserve the history and it has been so since since. So when you come to the Zulu nation they will want to know your name and your father's name eg: if you are Simon and your fathers name is Adam, when they see you they will acknowledge you and your ancestry "hello Simon son of Adam". That's how we preserve our history. Background is very important❤️

First and foremost, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for his kind words and appreciation of our beloved country, South Africa. It warms our hearts to know that he has found beauty in our landscapes, admired our infrastructure, and appreciated the warmth and hospitality of our people. His positive experiences undoubtedly reinforce the unique and diverse charm of our nation. South Africa also is the African country that has many African migrants compared to other African countries, and we currently have migrants mostly from Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Congo, Uganda, Malawi, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Somalia. We do have migrants from other African countries in West, East, Central and North Africa but the countries that I mentioned above have the highest number of migrants in South Africa. It's also easy for foreigners to find a job in South Africa than South Africans, and majority of foreigners living in South Africa are working. His admiration serves as a reminder of the treasures that South Africa has to offer, and it encourages us to continue working towards building a better and brighter future for our citizens and visitors alike. However, I also believe in the importance of honesty and transparency, and it is only fair that I share some of the challenges we are facing as a nation. Like any other country, we are not without our problems, and one of the most pressing issues we are confronting is higher unemployment rate, higher crime rate and corruption among our leaders. Crime, unemployment and corruption have been a significant obstacle to progress, hindering the proper allocation of resources, diverting funds meant for public welfare, and eroding trust in our institutions. While we acknowledge these issue, we must also acknowledge the efforts made by many individuals and organizations to combat crime and corruption and strengthen accountability in our government. It is heartening to hear his positive experiences in South Africa, and we hope that our nation's beauty and the warmth of its people continue to leave a lasting impression on him. We also encourage him to engage in meaningful conversations about our challenges, as it is through understanding and collaboration that we can move forward as a nation. Once again, thanks to him for his kind words and genuine appreciation for our country. His perspective and observations provide valuable insights for us to reflect upon and inspire us to work collectively towards a better future. One Love Afrika. ✌🏾 💘 😻 💜

From an employment point of view. South Africa has jobs but in certain sectors. I and my sister had jobs before we even graduated. My one sister and I are Software Engineers and another one is an accountant. My cousins are Attoneys and Economists all have had jobs since Varsity. It's all about what you study.

Dumelang my beautiful couple I love you do much 🇿🇦❤️👈

Listen, this guy made sure to bring all the facts okay! We don't call ourselves "proudly South African" for nothing that's why most of us don't think of leaving because history has taught us to always fight for our home and not run away from it which is why we're so overprotective. We may not have it great but we definitely have it good here and may not even see it sometimes❤

As a person who has traveled and lived in a few African countries my p.o.v is that in most African countries people work to survive; whereas in SA people work to live. South Africa is truly the Rainbow 🌈 nation. We as South Africans take a lot for granted. Amazing lifestyle, culture, food, weather and a dancing nation❤

This Ghananian guy is one smart and open minded African who moved to South Africa. Before judging the people know about about them first, where they come from as people! This guy is telling the truth, West Africans actually hate their countries. I once seen one Nigerian tweeted "in my next lifetime I would like to come back as a European, even if I can be a train in Europe" then I knew how much they hate their countries.

We call it Mzantsi but other Africans call it the Europe of Africa

South Africa is a place of extremes and you can't really capture it in one sentence or word. To African immigrants, it's a mind blowing place overall because it is in many cases much better than home, but to locals, there's considerable hard ships. Not bottom of the barrel, but it gets tough

South Africa is not perfect, we have a lot of issues here. But we have good and welcoming people, unfortunately some people take advantage of that and may do bad things which can rub South Africans the wrong way. Nonetheless we love having other Africans in our country. Unfortunately unemployment is high due to unemployment and government's corruption and the global economy problems caused by the pandemic amongst other things. The informal sector has been growing rapidly pushing the unemployment rate higher, as people in the informal sector are considered unemployed. Capetown has better and more job opportunities than anywhere in the country because a different political party is in charge of the western cape province.

South Africa the land of the free, hustlers paradise. Like He said it's very rare for south Africans to move to other African countries ,we visit for holidays not for job opportunities. We rather move to America,Europe or Asia for job opportunities. Finding a job in SA is easy it's just people think the first month as a job seeker you must be employed in the first month as a seeker it's possible but at times you have to wait a lil longer. But some people give up on the way and say the are no job opportunities.

Besides the ones in professions and 'traditional careers', a lot of African foreign nationals here in Mzansi are self employed (tuckshops, barbers, welders, carpenters, etc) and then a huge portion is in logistics and construction and that's where most xenophobic attacks are usually directed because (open secret) they take the jobs below minimum wage hence companies prefer them than natives... in the same breath, the unemployment rate for the youth is very high, and graduates do struggle to find jobs in their preferred career fields, especially after Covid. As a result, the government has been encouraging entrepreneurship by increasing funding for SMME’s among a lot of other attempts.

It would seem that many of the problems in other African countries could be solved if the people did not migrate and made a concerted effort to improve their own countries. How is it supposed to get better if everyone runs away? 🤷‍♀️

Jobs are defs hard to find, with foreigners not really because most of them don't have proper documentation or expired so most employees exploit them by not paying minimum wage for starters, & many other benefits they should be getting but are not, and these employees know that they won't take them to CCMA because they're not here legal in the first place.

SA is like the America of Africa, the grants are not enough but they do help to put food on the table. When it comes to employment people from outside countries take so much of that, as they are willing to accept pays below their means and South Africans know their rights and will not work for a pay that is below their means. So most companies consider outsiders because they pay them low and get more profits. Unemployment rates are high in South Africa for South Africans. I have a master in business and still after 4 years I have no job.

I myself am proudly from Mzansi (South Africa) and while alot of people will continuously compare us to other more poorer nations and after having spent 1 year in Democratic Republic of Congo/a few months in Mozambique and a couple months in Zimbabwe its not that difficult to see how fortunate and blessed we are to have what we have in RSA thank you for the continued coverage on RSA @TheDemouchetsReact

As a South African I agree with Bra from Ghana, the systems works however the employer's will find a way around it and overlook South Africans for foreign cheap labour and not to adhere to minimum wages, there are scarce skills where qualified people have been employed and mininal job Bus / truck drivers waiters cleaner's also with Graduates the economy is skewed along race and African South Africans a miginalized.

We can never call it the Europe of Africa because like any other citizen in their motherland, We know our struggles and to us it seems as though it's on the same level as other countries. E.g. As South Africans, we complain a lot about 2-4 hours of power cuts forgetting other countries can go days to weeks with no power. We may be the real Africa but it doesn't feel like it.

He is right, the systems we have in South Africa a great, but the issue is that the economy has not been growing enough for the past 10 years to create enough jobs for the growing population, thus a lot of us are jobless.

The fact that he mentioned that South Africans are always comfortable in their country /Province is so true. The 3 months I had visited the US were too much, I was always counting down and couldn't wait to come back home. I was really home sick. I never ate pap( mealie /corn meal).

Our mindset is different we dont see ourselves as the Europe of Africa infact Soug Africans secretly despise Europeans the standard of the country does not even please us. We even pursue dream infrastructure sold to us in T. V. I have traveled the world and it makes me appreciate.

The fact is that. If you come from outside of SA you can easily spot opportunities in SA . The infrastructure allows businesses to Prosper. And people adopt easily to anything new. Unlike some other African countries where you start something new and end up being disappointed because people prefer what they are accustomed to. Its bery easy to see opportunities in any African County but the reality is . that country may not be up to that speed and you end up closing down. SA is good for any type of business

I'm watching this video from my shack thinking, when shall we get our land back because the current government has failed us so dismally. Other wise thank you for your personal views.

To all African brothers and sisters, keep it in mind that a Home is not where you stay but where you belong. me staying 10 years or more in America won't make me an American. kids nowadays are in search of their AncestryDNA mostly in the US, its painful coz their ancestors never left their homes willingly but were taken by force. now kids are in search of their roots.

I will never go to any other African country am happy here at home South Af.

Just in a summarized juxtaposition, South Africa is to some extent similar to USA... We're a hub, a major one at that in our respective continent and global positioning... You will find every African and global citizen whether small or big numbers, as is the case with Nigerians & the British (those being a fair number coming out of their respective countries) but you will find every nationality stationed here...

The schools are free for those who don't afford until university they also give food at schools especially villages schools, we get child support grants until the age 18 ,disability grants, old people grants starting from 60 years, foster care grants for kids who don't have parents until age of 21

IM A SOUTH AFRICAN IN MZANZI I WISH OUR SYSTERM CAN SPREAD AROUND AFRICA

You can’t tell me all Americans graduates have jobs.

The gentleman is speaking in comparison with other African countries! SA is not without its problems, we South Africans cry because we can see the decline in the last few years but others still see us as having it good! even when we do move to other countries (i’m one of those) we go back home because we have it all, just a few serious governance problems that could be easily fixed if politicians were serious about betterment of people’s lives and cheap imported labour doesn’t help things.

You beautiful lady will Def get a jobs in all outlets, we have everything you have

In SA scarce skills pays a lot of money e.g an IT specialist with experience you will be employ with immediate effect and payed handsomely, A lot of students goes to university and study wrong degrees, Study mathematics ,. Science, Commercial and technical skills, Chances of finding work are highly

Guys Cape Town has the lowest unemployment rate, yes we got the best infrastructure and a beautiful country, there is only one problem that we are dealing with is the current ANC government failing the citizens. Whenever there is an international event they come to South Africa, Netball World Cup is currently playing in Cape town, we the only African country that hosted Soccer World cup, Even Beyonce hasn't been in Africa but she has been here twice in South Africa. Of course there is no country that doesn't have theír issues, we love law abiding foreigners especially our black brothers and sisters from around the world.

This Guy is speaking facts ,until you loose something thats were you,ll realise how special it was. SA is really Unique and its a loving country, but we hate those who come with bad intensions, eg drugs ,man slauter,cult, human traffiking, What i love about Ghanians is that they respect SA. And we love them for that❤

Guys, like in any country if youre a proffessional in your field or have 1 2 years experience then anyone can get a job. Ive personally had more jobs than i care to remember. Now im looking to better my education and live even more comfortably. Anyone complaining about jobs simply arent aware of the opportunities. Companies like Unilever SA has plenty foreigners ivd worked there, dont listen to school leavers.

As much as we have our own struggles, we have functional systems. We have high yiuth unemployment but like he said, we have systems and they are working. If you are a South African or legally in the country you can be located hence you'll think twice before you commit a crime but if you unknown (undocumented) which most of our brothers and sisters from the continent turn to do because of the cost for paper work and pertiance.

What he's saying is true. If you do work you'll get paid well. But if you don't work, you'll struggle to find a job. The unemployed grants are R350(not sure in dollars) which is not even half of a basic basket of food for a family. Our bad isn't as bad as theirs so it looks better to them. We appreciate and love our country and African Brothers and sisters 🇿🇦❤

🎉 thank you brother for explaining this thing of foreigners crime because now south Africans are hated everywhere today are seen as xenophobic by their African brothers

Hey guys. South Africa has a very high youth unemployment. Thats a fact. Even with a degree people are unemployed... The issue is that when people study they don't check if their field if study will get them employed. Alot of fields if study are very saturated, hence the unemployment. There are many that require alot of people but very view citizens study in those fields. For example our military and navy just last month were looking for 4000 new recruits per division. You study, get housing and get paid but...very view young citizens apply. We need teachers, nurses, civil servants, our municipalities are understaffed but these jobs are not as desirable... There are jobs ,we just don't have enough skilled labor to fill them. People in S.A also don't like to have to relocate for work, we expect the opportunities to come to us. This makes things very difficult because you need to be flexible as a job seeker...go where the work is...

Have you all lived in Switzerland 🇨🇭? Which i call Heaven on Earth.

We South African need to be grateful...compared to other African countries.
