How young people are fighting to change South Africa's future | Nelson Mandela


Following the recent elections, we look at what remains of Nelson Mandela's legacy in South Africa.

If you are a young South African today, chances are you are either unemployed or struggling to keep your business afloat without electricity. Thirty years after South Africa became a democracy, a staggering 60 percent of young people are out of work. How can you shape the future of your country if you are left out in the cold? How can you dream of a better life for yourself when you can barely afford to meet your most basic needs? And what is the role of social media in mobilizing young people to take part in the change they want to see?
