StatsSA indicates that the NEET rate among 15-24-year-olds reached 37.1% in Q1 2025, up from 35.8% the previous year, affecting roughly 3.8 million young people. This crisis is rooted in South Africa's history, economy, and the systems meant to support young people.

Under the cover of anti-drug operations, Washington is conducting extrajudicial executions on the high seas, betraying any pretence of accountability.
