SA needs skilled young innovators.
Renowned political analyst Prince Mashele says a pool of educated and skilled young innovators are needed to grow the country’s economy by creating employment opportunities.
Mashele, Executive Director: Centre for Politics and Research, was delivering a public lecture at the Bellville Campus recently to commemorate the June 16 massacre which was organized by the Department of Student Affairs.
He argued that while in the 1970s youth were killed for challenging Apartheid, new challenges such as drugs, HIV/Aids and unemployment are facing today’s youth.
He added that new tactics which do not warrant the use of arms are needed to address them.
